So she was one of the worst kindergarten teachers I've ever had. Welcome to. Welcome to. Store my life, life, life on the floor. Episode number nine of the Marty and Michael podcast. We are in the middle of a pandemic. It's 2020 and we are we've been at home for so long. You can't you can't do anything on the weekends. So we just we just we signed up to masterclass. Yeah, we've been trying to keep ourselves entertained and trying to trying to do things that aren't just wasting time like watching TV. We've been filming a lot, but we're so restricted. You can't go outside. We can't do many experiments. You can't really plan good pranks because we just hear the whole time. Yeah, we're sort of stuck with each other. That's not meant to be here. This is we break the rules. This is a woman to be in isolation. He's not meant to be here. If anyone from Wholesome's watching, make sure you reprimand him because he's not meant to be here. That's a beautiful word reprimand. I just checked though. The rules says you are allowed to have one or two people visit you, but no mass gatherings. So we're in the clear. That's not a DJ.  Shit talk.  Like, what are we doing the weekends? Oh, we just lay around and watch Netflix. I watched that Tiger King thing.  That was. You weren't into it as much as I was.    And then you sort of then you get to know the characters and it's just shocking.  Yeah, of course she did. Carol Baskin. Is that her name? Carol Baskin. And Robbins. And she's just fucked.  Gang fucked.     I was too sad. I was far too stoned for the series because I don't remember that at all. I wrote it all down, eh? That's not a DJ.  So, yeah, we've just been filming. We've been filming website content. This podcast is proudly brought to you by University of Markle, our website. Got www.universityofmarkle.com. We have hours and hours now, like well over six hours of unseen content that we can't post to social media.   We did some house tours. Oh, we already said that last week. House tour. We've done it. It's just heaps of... We can TV crew.  So just go and have a look. You don't have to sign up. You don't have to sign up, but just go and have a look. If you like the podcast, you want to support it. You don't have to sign up. Just have a look at it. You have to sign up. So you have to sign up.  I'm sorry, there's not much, but I'll tell you one thing. I'll tell you one thing. Matthew Brown works at Halsom, right. That's where he works. Halsom. H-O-L-C-I-M. They got headquarters there in Milton and he's got he's he's working. He's up way up the ranks. And he came he came from Halsom today, finished his day. Job at Halsom came here and he started researching, right? At about midday, I saw him ran in with a panicked look on his face, pulled his laptop out and started researching furiously for the facts. These aren't theories. This is for the facts that on the segment on this day, on this day, these are facts, cold hard facts from Matthew Brown, who works at Halsom. You might be wondering why there's cuts all over my face.  The video should be out right now on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. That's not a DJ, my life on the floor. All right, so this is all factual. This is like I said, and that works very hard to put these facts together. This he, you know, the people he knows, the people he has to get into contact with to put these facts together. It's honestly, it's mind blowing. I still don't know how he does it. Anyway, let us begin. On this day in 1960, Russell Crowe, King hit six nuns and remained erect throughout his entire court hearing the following year. He King hit six nuns in the 60s and stayed hard throughout the entire court hearing the following year. Did not know that. How is that not? You Google it and nothing comes up. Google doesn't even know. Matthew Brown, it's unbelievable. He writes emails.  He faxes. He spoke to one of the nuns. He sends faxes.  The authorities dropped all charges when Elvis dedicated his hit song, You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog, to his victim. Well, at least he, that's a big song. I did not know that that song was about that. So there you go. You can paint a very graphic visual image.  Fucked him so violently that he, he ended up with, yeah, like he must have woken up the next day and his spine was all twisted and he was all in a wheelchair. Is that what that is? I think so, yeah. Matt, can you just check what- Isn't it like MS? Can you just check what cerebral palsy is for us, please? It's like MS. I'm used to, that's why I've got a connection with it. Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure you dated a chick with cerebral palsy.  It's a secret, it's a special secret only for the fully actual listeners. That's so wrong. Cerebral palsy. I don't know how to open this. I'll show you. I need to get a podcast bottle opener.  So I've got more here, thank you. Yeah, go on, man. Thank you, Dad. Cerebral palsy is a group of permanent movement disorders that appear in early childhood. Signs and symptoms vary among people and over time. Often symptoms include poor coordination, stiff muscles, weak muscles and tremors. It's like Parkinson's. There may be problems with sensation, vision, hearing, swallowing and speaking. It's nothing to do with their bones. What do you mean?  All right, so there you go. So it would have been, it sounds horrific. So fair enough, he should have dedicated a song. He probably should have been prosecuted, but anyway. And for the record, Matt wasn't, he didn't Google that. He just knew that. It probably sounded like he was reading because his voice is really monotone but he was actually, he just knew that straight from his head. That's how. He's like an encyclopedia. A little bit, a little bit. On this day in 1993, Gordon Ramsay tore his arse cheeks apart and swore at an employee directly from his arsehole, making him the first person in the world to grow vocal cords in his colon. That's unbelievable. That's amazing. I love Gordon Ramsay. He can swear from his arse as well. I didn't know that again. That's the first for everything. That would be the ultimate insult.  Imagine if he spat as he spoke from his bum. He would. He would do that.  What's the song we've been singing? DJ stole my wife. Okay, I was just about to sing it but I forgot. Speaking of DJs, on this day in 2007, a mediocre DJ known as Will Sparks was found searching through a bin outside a brothel. When questioned, he admitted he was looking for his favorite toy car which he had misplaced while he was being thumbed by a blind prostitute.  I don't know who that is, Will Sparks. I don't know.  Oh, so there you go. I did not know that. I don't know. Remember when we were at his half-half show that he never showed up to? Oh, he had Will Sparks. Yeah, right. Yeah, okay, yeah. People coming up to me saying, dude, I love your stuff. Because apparently I look like her. You look exactly like him. Next. Next segment. That's not a DJ. Stole. On the floor. All right, next segment, which has, of course, been renamed. Hey, what was that, Matt, from Wholesome? I just Googled him, just as, I don't know if I didn't know what to look like. Do I sort of look like her? A little bit. Oh, man. What are the differences? He goes to the gym a bit more, doesn't he? Yeah, he looks like he goes to the gym a bit more. So he has a much better body. Looks like he has some skin care as well. All right, so he's a much better looking version of Michael. According to our researcher.  A DJ Stole My Life. We should have sung that at that gig, man. We should have got up there and busted it out. Imagine that. Imagine if we did a song there. Yeah, so it's good. This segment has been renamed to Fuck, I like the first sound, though. It was so interesting. And this is a segment where we just answer questions. How to pronounce that one that you guys have sent in via Instagram. Oh, yeah. Well, thank you, people. Oh, imagine that. Imagine if you did it. Poetic justice liquid all over his tits. Man, that's not going to be half about the cord. That's not going to be half about the cord. Michael did that. It's not on the cord. Yeah, I know. You lied. You're trying to get in trouble. What? My wife went on me. Thank you, angry dad. And thank you, angry dad and Dylan and Mitch for sending us these poetic justice. Four cartons of piss. So that'll keep this one busy for a couple of days. Yeah, they're yummy. It's like 2.1 standard drinks per one of these little things. That's what Michael likes it the most. They're like cruises, but better alcohol. Yeah, that's not a do stole my wife on the floor. That's a question. OK, wait, wait, there's so many. That's not a that's not a that's not a I can't stop the song, dude. It's so addictive. All right, the question is from Mick Om, he a hawk off it. He's Dutch. If a cow's head was replaced with Michael's, would you still fuck? Yes. Of course I would. A cow's a cow. It doesn't matter what his head is, as long as it's still behaved like a cow. I think it would be like a special dark twist on it to see Michael's little head on a huge cow body. Would you have to get drunk? And he'd be singing that song. That's not as I approached him. Big smile on his face. And he's got that hair to grab onto to help thrust it backwards into my hips. That's not a day. So yes. On the floor. All right, that song is going to be happening a lot throughout this podcast. I can't stop. Jim, that's as soon as Mac got here, that's all we've pretty much said to him. Matthew Brown from Holton. That's what we've said to him. All right, next question is from Nathan underscore Lanham. Since you guys are the best and are better than Stephen Hawking's. I love the S on the end of Hawking. It's so hot at science. Did you create the coronavirus in your science labs so you could kill Judge Judy? No, that was that nothing to do with us, believe it or not. We have we have the technology. I knew about it. I'm going to say I knew. I actually know about it. Yeah, what before that before it was. Better here, say here, say throughout the science. Well, talking about the bats behind closed doors. Wow. Well, there you go. All right. So it turns out we did have something. I did. Yeah, I didn't let anyone. Yeah, anyway, well, maybe we'll just 50 50 cut that corner because we don't want people knowing that we had something to do with that. That's not a DJ still in my life. Monique underscore Morris dot dot dot. So it just ran around a room. Can't read the whole user name.  That's so easy. And I've got a question after that.    That's not it. Still on the floor. I don't do. I don't do the same cow twice on very normally kill them on very rare occasions.  But yeah, usually the cows are so physically torn to shreds that it would be impossible to have sex with it again without alerting the authorities. Oh, so no.   So far, I've only found that there's a saying in town. Shit sandwich is a method of delivering some bad news.  I'm going to start using that all the time. I've just come up with an idea.  That's a great idea. A cow pat. You could just put I could do that. A dried cow pat in between two pieces of bread. I'd do that with some barbecue sauce. So if you want to see that subscribe to the University of Michael, all right. Next question is from. Jess dot kitten underscore.  Don't forget to think about stubbing your testicle toe. Would you rather have testicles for toes or dicks? I probably have dicks for fingers because you can't really. It'd be better for fingering. Yeah. And like you can't really work.  And I wonder if they'd get hard, though, if they'd just be floppy little flaccid things to force it in. And then when you get you wouldn't be able to hide your horniness. Your fingers would get all stiff and long. Yeah, the hotter the go. It just go one up, two up, three up, ten up straight. Bang. What about when you come? Yeah, it shoots out a. You'd be Spider-Man. You don't have fingers. That's what Spider-Man is.  Oh, my God. Also, with testicles for toes, you wouldn't be able to run because of the incredible pain.  You can't walk. You're basically Stephen Hawking. You're putting your entire body weight on your testicles. No, there's ten times of pain.   All right. Next question. James DeMaria.  Next question. Next one's Jude Francis underscore. What inspired you? I guess growing up and stuff. Yeah, just like just growing up. Inspired you? Growing up, like, was really inspirational. Because, you know, you start out so young.   Years like five years old.    So I think just growing up was inspirational.  Yeah, but like, physically, you know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah, it's getting older. And now we're like, now it's like, fuck, I'm 30. It's like so motivating. No, it's not that we're 30.  It's very fine. I draw inspiration from just like, oh, fuck, I'm a bit older now. I'm getting into colors lately. Like I see a color and I'm like, whoa, we're all going to die one day. Everyone.  Everyone listening. Everyone wants me to want to have another sip. Everyone listening. Us too.  Matt, you're gone. You're definitely gone. There's everyone listening, people commenting, sharing.   So draw inspiration from the fact that you will be dead. So just enjoy the moments you have when you're not dead. Because one day you ain't going to have no moments left. You're not breathing, no more, no more.  And it will be set in concrete. And you won't be remembered. Matt, your grave is going to be built out of concrete. You have a wholesome statue in Milton. All right. G Higgins. Oh, three is Marty's last name. Actually, Arty, your last name.  Your last name is Arty is Arty. OK, but his real one is fucked. So just like mine.   No, that's where your heritage is. The last name Arty does come from Poland. All right, we'll leave it at that. D underscore Nemmel. Dear Rick and Morty. I got to watch that show. Nutshots or headshots? Headshots. Nutshots. Oh, it depends. What depends on the object?  Not you'd have to go nuts because it's going to crack your scalp. Yeah, you could die. What about like a bean bag or an axe? A bean bag, easy to the head. You wouldn't want your fucking. Yeah, a kick, a kick. Oh, well, Locky from Jackson took a kick to the head. On the he was fine. Yeah, yeah, probably head. The side of the head is not the temple. We know this. The underscore Kiwi, underscore 93. Why is it that Michael? Full stop. Marty, why are you? Yeah, so great question. So about 14 months ago, we were out west doing some work for some farmers, building some fences and the storms are old in and we had to get out of there. So we took the truck, followed the train line down to Karara. And from there, we just sort of walked straight back to Brisbane. I get that. Oh, I think it was either.  You were like passed out. You were the sheet metal on the back of the truck. You were the sheet metal. Remember that week you were sheet metal. Oh, yeah, that was such a medley week. That's not a digital life for J3T, I was going.  If we were in a farm, me and Marty, and we had nothing, we were stuck in a farm for a year, right? We're not a farm, a zoo. We can't lead the zoo. Fuck, that'd be a good life. Be a zoo animal in a cage, just in our own cage. Marty and Michael. No, I'd rather be me. And I want to be an animal. Yeah, but we're just in a cage, not with other animals, but we are the animals in a cage. And then people just walk past and like take photos of us and wave at us.  But it would be pretty cool getting everything done for you. But I guess you don't have any freedom. But you've got your friends there. You can hang out, play on the tire swing, say like gorillas and monkeys. They just play on the tire swings, go for swims, get fed, as you said, three times a day or four, five. I would suggest not to have sex with a camel.  Yeah, but what Saudi Arabia, they weren't, I guess you can't find so much here, too. Wonderful. Two months. Two months jail. That's not that much. I reckon I could take a thousand lashes.   Yeah, yeah, true. I'll buy a whip. Now, I don't need to do it if we were stuck in a zoo for a year and we fuck, we'd have to be camel.  I don't think they'd like cows near me publicly. I don't think that they would like cows near me. It would be very horrific for the children to see. Would you like to hear? Yeah, no, a zoo where we're just in the zoo. It's a lockdown zoo.   Do you want to hear the man's excuse, though, for? He was horny. No. He says when he was when he was caught, he was performing philatia, which is sucking it off. And when when he was caught, he told the person that he was trying to drink the sperm of the camel to cure his cold sores. I wonder if that works. There's another experiment. What a strange man. Or what a strange excuse. I like him. All right, next question is from Jake underscore Berges dot 14. Hey, fellas, what is one memory that you remember of the other person that will never stop making you piss yourself of laughter?   You know, when you're alone and you thought about it by yourself. Yeah, I still think about it. Yeah, I know, like it's so. But it's good how time heals shit, because it's been like what three to three years now. And now we've like the time has made it funny. Hence why we've told you guys. I can't remember the podcast number. Maybe it was thirty eight, I think. Go back to that one. Yeah, it's sometimes you look back at that and have giggles.  And then I didn't know what to do.  I'd try and run away and Marty would knock it out of my head and it would next minute.  My poor parents. That always goes to their house, too. That's not a stranger's dream. I sailed away to those two birds on my car. Yeah, they're probably the tomato sauce. They'd be eating it on. There's eggs on there, too. Shit. All right. But poor seven six five. How old is Bosley seven yesterday? Yeah, Bosley's birthday. We took him to the beach and then I fed him a kilo of I fillet steak, which he was very happy with.  Aaron, Hargis photo. Full, the actual podcast question.  Second one. Yeah, I can't. Easy.  Yeah, it's too simple.   There's no long term repercussions on the second one. The first one you fucked. Oh, and like if I'm if a girl with braces is giving me head one, that means that she's probably quite young. And and, you know, that's that's not OK now because we're quite a bit old. Yeah. People with braces are usually in their teens. How did you bring it there? For both of you, what's a type of food that could make you throw up nearly instantly? Probably eggs. Eggs are fucked. I don't get why people eat eggs. That's a chicken period.  That's just all gooey.  The white stuff, if I had to, I'd eat, but I would never do it. Whenever I get fried rice, I ask for no egg. I will never eat egg. The smell of egg is fucked. It's just don't eat eggs. I like eggs. The thing that would make me throw up is like eyes, eating an eyeball. That's not really a food, but I think that that would make me gag. And also chewing into it, like squirt out. Yeah, the texture would be and so streaming. So streaming fish. We did a video on that. It's like this fish that is just baking and its own bacteria. We did a video on it. And yeah, it's nearly impossible to eat that without gagging very violently. Well, it's naming. Gag thinking about it. That's not a strangeest dream.  Shit. Whoa, that's a good one. Shit. Shit, I probably do both. I'd tell I'd have a threesome with both of them. Oh, I'd probably. Oh, no, I'd probably do.  She's out of her body in your girlfriend's body. So she doesn't know what's got a solution after this. Yeah.  So I can just imagine my girlfriend. And then my mom's in my girlfriend's body. So she doesn't know what's happened. She just knows that, oh, yuck.  I'd choose my mother's mind in my girlfriend's body. But hear me out. I would, I would hit, I would hit her, knock her out unconscious and then quickly, very quickly have sex with it. So, you know, and then when she comes to, I just say, oh, yeah, you were hit by a beam, a beam of wood. Oh, yeah. They always fall about those things.  It's a vacant mind.  What is your favorite disease from Crazy Human underscore 1871? My favorite disease would have to be the Stephen Hawking's one. Yeah, whatever that one was. Stephen Hawking's disease. Yeah, that's a good one. That one or Huntington's disease, where your muscles get eaten away.  Great question. No more of that. In your box. No. You don't even know what it is yet. All right, true. OK, let's open it up. All right, guys, time for our next segment, which has been renamed to you still don't show me what it is. You show me what it is. I need it right now because I don't do that to me. And this is a segment where we just open things that you guys have sent in via our P.O. box, which is two, five, six, Tegum, four, zero, one, eight, boy. So this week, we didn't go to our P.O. box and we didn't get sent anything. So we've had to pretend that we got sent something. Find out one more. And then we wrapped it up in this paper here. So let's see what it is this week. All right, so here we have a hairspray. So someone sent us hairspray. Thank you very much. And that is how you use it. You got to push that white button down and then the hairspray comes out and you can go ahead and sew your hair. Michael's saying put it away. All right, that is the end of our P.O. box unboxing segment. All right, moving on. We have a new segment now and it's really gaining some traction. Michael's just popped off to get his cactus for his new segment called Stunt Time. And I'm just while he's away. I'm quickly just spraying this hairspray into his crink that was sent in via our P.O. box. OK, here he comes. So brand new segment went really well last week and it's back again this week. It's called Michael's. It's called Stunt Time. Fuck, I've already fucked myself with it. All right, what do we got for Stunt Time this week, Michael? This is called hot potato cactus. But yeah, hot potato, but then in brackets, but cactus. So hot potato in brackets, but it's a cactus. Yeah. So why don't you tell us what's got what happens?  OK, so the objective of this stunt is to always be yourself. No, you've got to use the cactus like a hot potato.   So you've got to like a hot potato. We'll go one for one. I'll hit it up. You hit it. You've got to get 10 hits. Con, I just bumped the camera if you can somehow cut that. That'd be good. Thanks. I think leave it. That's pretty rude to spit that drink back.  We.  You got pranked. Oh, I spit that out, dude. Well, make it up here. What about this, right? Make it for this week that you have to do it just by yourself and try and get 10. Ah, because that's better coordination. Yeah, and also it's also just about being yourself. So make sure you're also just being yourself. OK, so the objective is 10. 10. All right, here we go. So Michael's got a toss of cactus up and he has to hit it up with both hands 10 times. I'll count to you. Make sure you're also just being yourself. OK. Ready? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. We've got that.   And that's it. So for those listening, make sure you go to our YouTube to see that because he's got spines all through his hands now. Those spines are so fine. I've had them in my hands and I cannot stand them. Well, fuck, I regret that. Yeah, dude, I can't believe you did that. They're everywhere now. All right, moving right along to our final segment. All right, the final segment has been renamed to. And this segment, of course, is just a prank call. Pranks that you guys have sent in to us, all right?   All right, so Finlay underscore McIntyre has said, hey, fellas, I'd love for you if you could prank call my brother. He has an extremely loud land crusade. Maybe talk about noise complaints. He lives in St. Lucia in Brisbane. He gets quite a few complaints from neighbors when he leaves for work early in the morning and then pisses him off a lot. All right, so I'll be Trevor from Brisbane City Council and I'll just be calling him because there have been some more noise complaints. Stirling, my name is Trevor. I'm just calling from Brisbane City Council. How are you today, mate? Hey, good night. Look, mate, I've had a few complaints coming in, a few noise complaints from people surrounding your property, just about a noisy car. And I've just looked you up on the computer here and apparently there's been a few complaints. I think that's your, what's that? Two, five, sixth complaint, which is a compulsory fine that we need to send out and also I need to call you, just stand at protocol to let you know that your neighbors are complaining quite a bit about the noise apparently from your car, a land cruiser. All right. Yeah, so the fine has been sent out today and you should receive it in two business days and it's up to $560. And yeah, mate, well, it's six complaints. It's, you know, it starts to get a little bit serious after a while, especially leaving that early in the morning in a high residential area there in St. Lucia. You know, it's equivalent to someone pulling out a lawn mower or an air horn at five a.m.  You can sort of see why the people would be complaining. Yeah, yeah, but it's all legal. I'm not doing anything illegal. Yeah, well, mate, the complaints sort of say otherwise. Apparently a couple of your neighbors think that you've modified your exhaust and that it's incredibly loud and that you are aware of the complains and that you purposely rev your engine. One person in particular has complained a few times and actually has sent in a recording and it's sort of sounding like that you rev your engine for a few minutes before you leave. Is that you aware of that? Is that something you're doing on purpose? Complaints, can I ask? No, mate, sorry. I'm not allowed to give you that information.  You have to inspect it. So we're actually gonna send someone from the city council out tomorrow morning to inspect the car just to make sure that you haven't actually modified anything. Will you be home at around 9 a.m.?  That's crazy. Yeah, look, mate, I'm just trying to do my job. I'm just letting you know that the fine's been sent out and also that the, look, who knows? The person could, the councilman could come out tomorrow, check your car and everything will be fine. You still unfortunately will have to pay the fine, but if your car hasn't been modified, there shouldn't be any further issues as long as you stop purposely revving your engine in the morning for a few minutes before you leave. I cannot recall once revving my engine in the morning purposely. All I do is get up and drive to work. Yeah, well, they've sent in a recording and it's pretty damning recording. It sort of sounds like you're sitting there for what's it, 150 seconds. So just over two minutes revving incredibly loudly and you can be heard laughing as well from the car. So it sounds like you're doing it intentionally to annoy this one neighbor in particular. 150 bucks, I've never done this, I've never done that. Yeah, well, look, like I said, mate, I'm just looking at the information in front of me and yeah, the councilman will come around tomorrow and look, if you, what you say is true and you haven't modified your car. What did you say your name, what's sorry? Trevor, Trevor from Brisbane City Council. I can give you my employee ID if you like and you can write it down and check everything. Oh, mate, like I said, I don't know.  Well, it says here that warnings have been sent out on the third and fifth occasion. So this is the sixth. I haven't got a single warning. Well, it says here that the warnings were received by you. So please don't lie to me, Sterling. That it says here that you have acknowledged that you received the warnings here on the last, last middle of last November, 2019, you received your first warning. You aware of that? You must be taking, I've never fucking, I've never gotten a warning in my life, mate. Well, it says here that you, it says here right here that you received the warning and you acknowledge that you received the warning on your third complaint. It's any warning to anything you did once, ever, ever. Sorry, Sterling, can you just, can you just relax, please? Mate, I'm honestly, I'm just trying to do my job and would appreciate if you could just try and relax. So, so the councilman should be at... Look, Sterling, again, I'm not your mate. Look, I'm not your mate at the end of the day.  You've received this fine, which I think is just, all right? This is your sixth complaint. I've heard the recording, all right? You're revving your engine and laughing at the same time for well over two minutes, all right? So, let this be a warning to you. If the councilman comes out and sees that you've modified your car, we will be seizing your car, okay? Do you understand that? I'm sorry, mate, that's just, these are the legal ramifications. If you continue to wake people up at five a.m. in the morning, okay? So, you can't tell me... Of course, I'm not allowed to tell you that because then if something happens to him, then, you know, we would be, Brisbane City Council would be liable. So, of course, I'm not allowed to say anything.   You need to take your piece. I bought him my pizza. I was like, no way. What? Oh, you fucking... Sterling, it's, it's fucking, it's Marty and Michael. We're, um... Finlay sent your number in via Instagram, so we thought we'd...  Oh, that's good. Is it on the podcast? Yeah, yeah, this will be on the podcast next Monday, next Monday.  Yeah, there you go. Well, thanks for being in the bloody good sport, mate. Sorry to roll you up there.

Fuck, I wish I didn't laugh when I kept him going for a long time.  It's so rude. I meant to be Brisbane city council's swearing at the people you're charging. I like to try and get progressively really annoyed at them, but then I just skipped ahead to the end.  We're going to seize your car. Very good, guys. Keep sending in those prank calls of irons.

And that is the end of episode number nine. We're nearly a quarter of the way through the season. We're a quarter of the way through the year. Oh yeah. Makes sense. No, we're one-third. Makes sense. Almost. And then end of April we're one-third. And that's why we are the best. We're the best. We're the best. We're the best. We're the best. Best, best, best, best, best, best. We're the best.

Hello and welcome to the Rugged Rockhound. Today I am in Grand Junction. This is my first time rockhounding while living in Grand Junction. So we just moved Grand Junction Proppers down there. This is Fruta and this is the well known Opal Hill. So obviously being well known in close proximity to this town it's been hit hard. So I don't know how good of stuff I'll actually find but it's my first time here and I don't mind a challenge. So we're going to take a look. We're going to hike up there and just see what we can find. See if we can find any decent opal. Here it's common opal. Mostly it'll be white or cream and maybe some other colors. So the big thing we're looking for then is some good colors and maybe some opalized wood. So let's get to it. So that's the hill and I don't actually know where it's coming out although I think from what I've read it's coming out from kind of the top but to be sure I'm going to kind of explore it myself. So I think I'll just start looking at stuff down here see if I notice anything and then maybe go that working on my way up to the top and we'll just see what we find. So right off the bat I'm seeing some things that remind me of Cisco and Yellowcat. Got teeny little bit of red agate jasper type stuff. You got this selenite basically it's the fibrous form of gypsum and there see this looks a little bit like one of those barite concretions once again from Cisco and Yellowcat. Oh and that might be some of the replaced stuff. Okay there's a lot of a lot of stuff coming up coming off this hill. Yep see look at that some more red agate. This one looked interesting so I'm going to try and get it out. Again one of those kind of barite type concretions or maybe not even barite there's those concretions that you find at Cisco and Yellowcat some of them not barite replacements but they'll have this red agate in it interesting. Some of this red agate might be really nice if you can find it in larger pieces more of that jasper agate stuff. Here is the first piece of opal I'm pretty unsure that I found it's got the nice white color that you expect with the opal nice and light maybe even have a little bit of texture in it somebody up over here is wood but I'm not sure about that one. Now that looks more like a potential piece of wood. Yeah I would say that looks like a piece of petrified wood. I'll take it home and wash it off some more possibly even cut into it and we'll determine for sure if it's wood but it sure looks like it. So here's this one washed off so I wasn't sure if it was petrified wood took a closer look at it and sure enough it is petrified wood. You can see in it the little pores it's very interesting because it's got these little bits of red agate filling in some of where the the pores the the the xylem would have been where it was um drawing water so interesting that one has a decent pocket in it right of agate that red and then white in the center cool yeah I really wonder if any of these bigger ones will look really nice inside with agate I might have to take a couple pieces back and cut them I'll try and find the ones that look most promising that one's looking pretty decent it's too big for me to cut it this time but that's not bad here's a tiny short of opal and you'll see you've got some white there and then it goes to some other colors and it's definitely opal so we'd like to find bigger pieces of that and hopefully more color just wanted to point out most of the reddish agate that I was seeing I found down there as I'm getting up here higher I'm not seeing it as much so it looks like the red agate is coming out of the lower units here and so far as opal and petrified wood we'll haven't seen enough of that yet to be able to determine so I've made it up on top of the shelf there on the top of the hills up there so I did find a little shard of opal a whole white cream color so there is opal up here as well so I feel like because most time which when you get deposits they'll be in multiple layers so we'll probably find it in layers below here and in layers above it's just a matter of finding where it replaced something of good size like a piece of wood or a fossil or something like that look at that gypsum that's what they call satin spar so you've got some stream pebbles on the bottom too so you got this like kind of sandstone to conglomerate in some of this this layer right here looks like volcanics or clay that's your better chance for finding opal and stuff like that so here's a nice view from the top of opal hill very nice beautiful beautiful landscape here so what I've figured out so far and I mean it may not be correct but most of what I've been finding anything good has been below this this shelf below me here so below that kind of that sandstone unit so those greenish grayish well green gray brownish hill is where I seem to be finding this stuff the layers if you look here are tilted like this sloped like this so my guess is going to be that your best bet on finding this stuff is going to be below these cliffs on this side around the back here where we've got a nice exposure and then probably along that side as well you know if I was smart I would have come up the hill walking looking at the signs and so that's like there you find petrified wood in the decoder formation and it is total of opal that's what I thought so it is coming out at the bottom then it's huh that was correct all right I believe this is the decoder formation that's talking about it looks right so from this point down is kind of one of where you want to focus your efforts there's a nice little piece of red it's more jasper than agate that's kind of nice oh that looks more of a carnillion almost that's cool I only saw the tip but then I came out fairly large so we'll clean that off and see if that's nice that might actually be a nicer piece here's this one washed off it's got this like white center and red on the outside kind of cool so this one had a little red there and then this thicker layer with a kind of a dark red I don't know this one looks pretty nice all right all right I think that's a good one to take and cut here's this one washed off that was the best part right there and just a little bit right there so yeah mostly right there so this is interesting it looks like wood texture in there could very well be kind of a jasper opal whatever it doesn't really look like opal to me but if that's the wood see those fractures all through it that would explain why it's very hard to find wood because it is so fractured once it exposes it just falls all the pieces so right there this piece looks like it has quite a bit of red in it I'll take that home and wash it off and see how it looks here's this one washed off yeah there's not much on the other side just that okay right in there I've been I've been searching for a while finding mostly lots of little bits of red agate so I didn't really show this but I found this doesn't that kind of look like palm wood a little bit very interesting very interesting take that home because that might be some palm wood here's this piece all washed off definitely once again confirming that this is a piece of wood there's definitely more of a tropical tree with those large this island here's this one washed off so many of these red agate on the outside the center kind of a white calcite here's this one washed off the stuff in the center looks like calcite the way it fractured so I think it's some white calcite right in the middle and then red agate around the edge there's some more of that red agate with the white calcite in the middle and I'm back at the vehicle so the sun's starting to get low and time to get out of here but just so you know if you're coming out here to look stay in that lower half of the hill all right that's where you're going to actually find stuff that's where you find the red agate and the petrified wood and opal so it's all coming out of that so if you're coming out here the red agate is pretty abundant in small amounts right small veins but it's still nice so if you want to come out and look for red agate this is a good place the opal and petrified wood are definitely much harder to find so just understand if you come out for that you might be searching for a while so that's it for this one and remember there is treasure everywhere
