Hi, I'm Clarence from St. Paul, Minnesota, and you are watching Trucker Josh vlogs on YouTube base You healthy? Sure. Hope you are. I'm doing good. I woke up feeling great It's gonna be a good day. I hope it's gonna be a good day So today when I'm filming this is Wednesday March 18th, I realized you watch several days later and that's kind of weird when I Do that because it's a little behind but I want to let you know that the things I talked about today are probably Old news by now. So just so you know why you sort of got to take this and sort of like a look into the past of How things were then so as of today The US-Canada border has been closed to all traffic except trade and essential Personnel so it doesn't affect me in my job. I could still cross the border for trade to Deliver freight and pick up freight and bring it back. That's that's as of today I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow if it's gonna be different Right now. I've got a potential reload that's going to take me home for mid next week I'm gonna finish this load off a day after tomorrow Friday afternoon in British Columbia around Kelowna And then I have a reload to possible reloads that don't really pay you think they don't really pay really well We're still looking around for some better paying freight But these are tough times and I'll take what I can get so those loads are taking me back home. So I'd be home Tuesday or Wednesday next week in about a Mid next week at which point I'll be making a decision Do I want to stay home for a while or is there freight to keep me moving if there is freight to keep me moving? I'm gonna keep moving. I have to keep working through this people need their stuff And I also need to pay my bills so I'm fortunate enough to live and work in an environment that is completely 100% disinfected now That I'm pretty much sci-fi self quarantine and self isolated So I can keep working my problem is if companies and manufacturers and shippers stop making stuff for me to haul That's where the problem comes in so we'll see what happens next week when I get home But I do have a plan to get home right now next week. I'll see how I'm feeling at that point I'll see how Brits feeling and if we're both Have no symptoms. I may just stay home Invite the bullet. I don't know man. I don't know what to tell you guys Taking it one day at a time here everything changes so quickly so I know you're watching this in the future. I don't know if things have gotten worse or if they've gotten better Let's hope that you're watching this in a better world because Right now it doesn't look so good It doesn't look so good, but we'll be okay. We're gonna make it through I'm in Swift Currents Saskatchewan right now And I've got to make it up to Saint Paul, Saint Paul, Alberta Which is a full day's drive from pretty much eight hours drive from here Not even seven hours drive from here won't make it there today before they close so I can take my time today I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning. I've got three deliveries around Edmonton and Saint Paul to do tomorrow And then we head off to a Quinzel BC and then we have a Four drops to do in British Columbia, right? Yeah, three or four to do in British Columbia on Friday And I have to get unloaded Friday afternoon so that I might have to deadhead and pull my trailer empty a back out to Alberta And pick up a load here. I Don't know. I just don't know let's get this day on the road. Let's go show the road. We got some driving Before we leave town. I just swung in here to the Walmart. It's bright and early again Sorry, I had a crazy manager come under yell at me that wasn't supposed to park there For whatever reason or whatever we're here at Walmart and so if crime before we leave town We figure we come in and check what shelves look like This is the cleaning aisle Not everything has is gone Not everything. It's actually doing pretty good. I think Cleaning eggs over here. It's like they have a limit of one. I see they have limits put on here now So it's not too bad. They're doing a pretty good job restocking So this is dishwashing detergent Not too bad. They still have some stuff left. It's mostly the natural stuff that gets left till the end But I mean they're restocking as fast as they can. I mean the trucks can only go so fast, right? Automotive department seems to be stocked pretty well People aren't as worried about clearing out their Cards as they are their homes, right? It's the hand soap aisle Not everything's gone Not everything's gone. I went and walked up to that lady who Was rude to me out in the parking lot And she didn't recognize me. I was just saying I'm seeing what you have in stock Waiting on your truckers. Hey, yeah, yeah, we're waiting on our trucks to get here. Thank God for the truckers Yeah, the ones that you treat like garbage I was thinking that didn't say it so we're looking for hand sanitizer see if they have any So there's no hand sanitizer here either It's old though, but they did get a shipment in of Wet ones antibacterial hand wipes kills harmful germs But doesn't kill COVID-19 Number one in Canada Really? Well, I got number one. Yeah, I feel good now. So there's 40 wipes in here I got a couple of these and just for my face. I got Wet ones hand and face wipes just so I can keep my face clean just in case I do touch my face because I'm always touching my face Gently cleanses skin But I only got one of these because this does not have the same thing on here. I'm not a I'm not a wet ones professional This one does not say kills germs this one does so This is antibacterial and this is just a hand and face wipe So I figured it'd be nice to have this for my face because this is probably not good to put on my face too much So I can wipe my face down with this Does say one of the ingredients is alcohol so that should kill off germs It just doesn't say on here that it and it's assembled in the USA. What do you know not even made in China? How about this one made in the USA with global materials? I give up Is everything made in China do I trust this if this comes from I don't Know we better disinfect these things now because these things probably came from China Now I got a disinfect these things. You know, I'm gonna disinfect it with the with with the wipe Oh, it smells nice Yeah, if it disinfects these things Came from China. How do I get this thing started?  Okay antibacterial goodness and it smells like citrus Wipe down all of these containers because you know, they probably came from China Everything is made in China like look at this. I don't know if you can read this or not on the bottom here Assembled in the USA, yeah, cool assembled in the USA. Does that mean made in the USA? No, no look this one here says Or does it say at the bottom here, can you read it? I'll read it for you made in the USA with global materials Which pretty much means it's assembled in the USA. So which means it's made in China In separate pieces and then they ship those separate pieces over to the USA and then the USA puts those pieces together So it's made in China Which means you wipe it down. I don't know where their factories are this factory could have been in Wuhan I'm not taking any chances with that kidding me Am I going crazy? I'm only half joking right now Acting a little bit for the camera, but I am a little bit nervous I am gonna still I am serious, but wiping these down and that'll be good for me for a while. So If everybody else would just stop hogging everything, I wouldn't have to feel like I need to hog some stuff I just I just want enough in my truck here so that I can keep my truck clean Right and these are gonna be for wiping down my phone my e-log here like a E-log system my GPS my GoPro you guys right there keep you guys all clean and Yeah, that's that So I'm good. I'm good. I don't need hand sanitizer if I've got this oops. I shouldn't done that. I shouldn't have done that Now you guys are all Okay I'm not panicking. I am not panicking Why are you looking at me like that? Don't play with the bag That is not hoarding that is just being Because everybody else keeps buying them It took me Four days just to find that and there was lots on the shelves. There's lots they had cases on top of there, too So I didn't take the last ones.  It's just a bug. It's gonna pass by no problem. I don't worry. Stop. Stop worry. Stop panicking man. I Know that's what everyone keeps telling me is everyone keeps telling me don't panic the government keeps telling me don't panic No, nothing nothing worry about here. Why is the heater still on in here? It's cooking in here Don't panic everything's fine. Don't panic.   Don't get in groups of more than 10 people. Everything is canceled But don't panic. All right. Well, this is me not panicking What don't laugh at me? I know you're doing the exact same thing Don't panic they say don't panic they say Don't panic. Everything is just fine. Here. I am wiping my face down with a wet one Everything's fine. We're all good. It's all good. So should I wipe my ears down, too? I don't know how am I supposed to do this? I don't know what the protocols are Okay, all right. Yeah, we're good. We're good. I think we're good. This was the hand and face one So I'm guessing it's good for your face Okay, I Know you're doing the exact same thing. Oh, no, I didn't clean these things. I cleaned them yesterday. You think they're still good The parts that touch my face Well, we're good. I Didn't clean my keys Okay, I touched these whenever I start the truck, right? Oh, my nose is running. Can I wipe it? Better wipe it with this.  We've got all day 12 hours 36 minutes case so this entire surface in this truck every surface in here has been disinfected Every morning My glasses you saw me my face my hands my steering wheel so everything I touch in here is fine It's when I leave the truck That's where the germs are. Did I do my seatbelt? Yeah, I did Everything I touch Did I do this go away germs trucker Josh? Germaphobe I'm new to the club. I'm not quite sure how this club works yet, but At least I'm not in this alone My face feels kind of warm after I cleaned it with that thing The package says it's for hands and face Why is my face feel warm? Okay, everybody don't panic We're going to roll down the road and listen to the news to make sure that we don't panic Turn our lights on so people can see us. Honestly guys though. I'm kind of playing this up right now You don't have to be as panicked as this But I do want you guys to be safe and just maybe Keep in mind some extra hygiene. That's sort of what I'm doing right now I'm just more aware of my hygiene. That's all you got to do. You don't got to panic I'm just making jokes for the camera here Everything's fine. I'm not freaking out. I guess I do sort of want to highlight the mindset of a lot of people right now There's a lot of people are panicking like crazy But I don't blame them if they can't get the supplies they need That's why the only reason I bought these wet wipes now is because they had a lot of them in stock and All the hand sanitizer was sold out, but this stuff was left So at least now I don't need to go and get anymore So probably this whole thing blows over hopefully I'll be just fine. You don't got to worry about me When I get home, I'm sure my mom has like a stockpile of sanitizer somewhere and soaps and stuff She she has a lot, but then again, I don't really want to We can't congregate remember What a weird world we're living in diesel. Did you fart? Really? It smells like air freshener in here man. It's way too clean. It wasn't me. I'd claim that that was a good one Be proud of that These are all okay, so we're gonna leave Swift current now we have from a 600 kilometers from our close to 400 and some miles From our destination over there was not supposed to use that entrance There was big signs saying exit only and now you're stuck. You're not gonna be able to turn around bud. Oh That's why they had that they're always gonna go for it anyways So I'm stopping here for some fuel Because they got DEF pumps here. I'm in Boydminster, Alberta I want to fuel up and top up my tanks to make sure that Make sure my tanks are topped up just in case you know just in case It doesn't know what to do now. He's stuck back there. He can't make his u-turn or maybe he's gonna wait for this pump I have no idea. He came in the wrong entrance This guy's done in front of us here. I roll forward grab some fuel Top up my DEF and we'll be on our way to st. Paul, Alberta I called the customer there already and they are prepared for us first thing in the morning Which is 9 a.m. So we get asleep in a little bit Then we got a rush over to Edmonton deliver there and then rush over to Barhead, Alberta I think wherever that is deliver there and then we Go 500 miles to our next stop which is in Quinzel British Columbia, DC. Plenty of time. I got 156 kilometers to go for 90 miles Like I should be able to do that in under seven hours and 45 minutes So far it's all been business as usual all the businesses are open I've noticed that some restaurants are closed Tim Hortons is closed. I will not close It's just closed to dine in you have to do take out or drive through You know other than that everything seems to be everyone's trying to stay open as much as they can Everyone's still got to make a living, you know I Heard that in some US states. They're shutting down liquor stores. I Don't know what That has to do with anything because it's not usually a big group of people in a liquor store. I guess it depends what neighborhood you're in But I wouldn't see the point in closing them. I mean some people like to go and grab a bottle of wine I mean quarantining people inside I don't see why they'd close that down I was thinking of going into the Walmart here taking a quick peek see if they have anything But I think I'll drive past this one. I'll skip it. I don't want to go in there I know what the results gonna be sold out of hand sanitizer. I'm fine. I got lots of these disinfecting wipes I'll be fine. No need to panic right no need to hoard Well, I just like one I don't want to hoard them I just want one but at this point I might buy two if there's two there. I'm just saying It's so weird It's so weird like I parked here beside Boston Pizza I'll wait here for my delivery tomorrow, but I just walked down the street a little bit to go. There's a giant tiger here which is sort of like a sort of like a Another kind of version of Walmart, but it's not quite as nice, but it's nice whatever There's if they had hand sanitizer When our co-op over there see if they had hand sanitizer. No And I'm walking down the street down Main Street and everything is like a ghost town The only places that are open really are gas stations Liquor stores were still open But it's like 6 30 in the afternoon and everything is just dead Boston Pizza still I didn't want to go in anyway, but they're not open for dining. I could only do takeout so I Ordered my pizza from out here, and I'm just gonna walk over there and get it when it's ready How strange to live through this The whole country coast to coast We're all in it together. We're all trying to get through this together All having the same experience like back in the day during the Spanish flu and the Black Death and stuff Things were much different communication wasn't the same You couldn't instantly communicate with people like overseas and even across the country and Now it's it's like everybody's in on it. Everybody knows what's going on and we've all collectively agreed In this social distancing plan. That's what they're calling it, right? We've all collectively agreed that you know, we're all just gonna keep to ourselves for a couple of weeks and Everybody's listening Everybody's obediently keeping their distance, you know when I went into the stores The tellers were sanitizing The counters the counter space after every customer Sanitizing the keypad if they used a card after every customer all wearing gloves. I haven't seen anyone wearing masks yet Maybe we're not at that point maybe give it another week But My stomach is grumbling. I'm so hungry. I can't wait for this pizza. I haven't eaten much today Haven't had much of an appetite. It's sort of been I don't know I'm feeling okay. I just had a lot of my mind with all the stuff going on Britt's been at work today. She's still at work. So I'm worried about her My mom is still working though. They've taken measures for to reduce Physical contact with people like that. She's not meeting people face-to-face anymore They have to bring her hurt their taxes and then they they wait outside while she does their taxes so that's good, but You know just Very very I wouldn't even say on edge, but I'm kind of like Anxiously anxious is the word I'm looking for I'm very anxious about where this is going and what's gonna happen in the next couple of weeks And how long? How long are we going to have to do this? Is it just gonna be two weeks? It's gonna be two months Is it gonna be six months and at what point am I gonna start feeling it in my job so far?  So I haven't felt it yet, but You know, that's where I'm feeling it soon. Hope you guys are staying safe.  It's empty. It wants food and stomach. It's not a stomach issue Like COVID-19 is a respiratory problem. It's not has nothing to do with the stomach really not much anyway, so Are you guys sort of Living on edge to How is it? Let me know down below in the comment section. I'm gonna leave the vlog here and tomorrow We'll pick it up. We'll go deliver here in St. Paul We'll go over to Edmonton bar head and then we'll head into BC. It's gonna be a long day tomorrow, so I'll see you then. Take care. Stay healthy and stay safe


I still just cannot believe the goal of these two goofy goopers from another universe thinking hey We just watched this guy obliterate a dude that can literally time skip. Let's jump him while he meditates The thought process is irrelevant, but ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the channel My name is Jack the Buster. Hi shinobi I'm on one 12 of Dragon Ball Super today and the tournament of power just gets crazier and crazier and considering We just lost hit one of the people that I thought was gonna be there till the very end There's nothing to predict anymore. Everything's out the window. We're gonna hop right into this one Don't forget to drop a sub. Let's get started Dramatic Yet, they're all just witnessing just watching Jiren meditate I think he was meditating when we first saw him like the very first time It's whoever has the more people right the universe, which has the yeah, dude There's nothing to be one universe that just tells them to hide and all the warriors hide Yeah, they could just all run I feel like they're all too prideful to do that though To attack really I mean the right it is the best time to attack Goku Well, they saw that Goku's the only one that like stood up to Jiren thus far It's for the universe Very naive guys if this is like for money or something I'd be like yeah, you're kind of cowards for that But brother they got families to man. I think maybe a little robot babies Now I'm sure he can handle it Piccolo. He knows his father Okay, yeah, well, what about these Nevekians man, where did they come from? What universe are they from? Saunel, where's the joke there Saunel? Oh, I caught him There's a teamwork boys from talking about Can we get some context? The this is what I'm saying he recognized that but they have more than than Jiren's universe and if anybody to say that plan I'm not shocked that it's Champa and I don't blame him. I would too She just doesn't show it Y'all got autonomous ultra instinct locked away too. Maybe the spirit bomb yourself robot Okay, wait wait wait Mona. This is from the universe that they only said there were eight fighters Hmm Dude the Saiyans also get they look so young man, especially Cabba Bro, Vegeta is rubbing off on him like one billion percent see her outfit looks like plastic II look I thought people were like hiding in there It almost looks metallic. Of course you do kale. Of course you do It's like he wants to specifically fight her though, or maybe he just yeah, he wants them to say their energy I mean you could watch to be honest. Oh, that's why he's not even being ego about it He's putting himself in danger because he knows they're stronger together I had a boy though.  He's he's kind of a guest more for that He knows the power kale has especially mom at a boy She ain't going down that easy. You don't last this long for no reason Okay, so I don't think people are hiding in there. She just expands Don't fall on him again. There's no way right That that was clean that was hella clean.  Not like this not like this she can turn Oh someone grabbed him. Let me grab the side. Have a soft spot for him. Why am I not surprised? I am surprised actually no Vegeta. I would figure he'd be like, ah, he's weak That's why you got eliminated. No, he does have a soft spot for him bro That how fast that bit with the she can turn nailed it I mean if she had just rolled off the side, I would have been disappointed.   Oh, wait, that's true Whoa, wait, could you do that? I didn't think about that. Oh, I mean they said the super dragon balls You can do like anything. I'll make sure we bring back the seventh. Oh That's a sweet promise though guaranteeing the existence of both of course, of course How do you just let her hit you bro? She's drilling him He's pushed to the brink. This is where he needs to be Don't you're talking about him like that? Fended he's getting an awakening As the saying does that is to that's to that's my boy. Cabba.  It's like a beam clash with her body Yeah, sir the fourth universe has only three fighters. Oh shoot wait But that's still the one where the two were missing. No. Hmm. I mean I would actually like that. Oh Shoot top vs. Vegeta This could actually be a banger fight though. Oh my gosh Frieza stop man Cabba no, no, no, no, you don't stand a chance bro. You don't stand a chance. No, no, no It's like a train wreck. Okay, I have to watch dude. It makes sense.  What was that? What impacted? He's gonna be it connected, but he's just gonna be staying there cabba.    I see now that makes sense Yeah, dude, if Goku wants to get further he needs his energy back. He's still fighting.  I will get stronger I'll be back for another fight. He will accept that because she's figured out who he is as a person I think so he's basically like a one-way ticket to just getting stronger in the middle of this tournament a one-way ticket To like basically a training arc, but I like how Kaba gets his big moment before he's eliminated He's not just thrown out he gets to go super Saiyan 2 it shows his progression and it's reminded us of that Relationship between Vegeta and Kaba and now a very very actually important promise between the two about wishing each other's universe is back So now if either universe wins that that basically secures the future of the other which I never even really thought about to be honest Like they said the super dragon balls can literally do anything But yeah, man, like I said every single person is the bigger bigger hitter towards the end of this tournament Over halfway through we're only gonna see people that we know are powerful or recognized And I'm still confused by the Namekians and it's not clearing anything up But that's been it for 112 I hope you guys did enjoy my reaction if you're new to channel, don't forget to drop a sub and I'll catch you in the next one Be space

You got to spend a lot of time on the beds We're just not seeing any big ones that are worth spending a lot of time on But fishing around the banks where you think they would be like going in Just hanging they're they're not We're not getting bit that way. It seems like sight fishing is the only way we can get bit Luckily, we've got calming winds very clear water.

This is It's pretty decent one right here There we go Full suction chunky male May See buddy something special is happening right now folks We're in the afternoon And we've seen our first female Move up onto a bed.

Saw a male no female around Now she's coming in we've seen this all morning where female like huge fish eight plus pounds fish Are just on the outskirts and they're cruising around I would show you guys with the camera, but it's too it's too muddy But we're seeing males way more fish come in here and starting to get set up This is one of those things where if you see a spot like this a shallow spot, and it's kind of not good in the morning But you see fish That kind of want to be in there. They could be on beds that afternoon. They don't want to eat a wacky rig Unfortunately, we've flicked around wacky rigs till we're blue in the face We could literally see we could see dozens of fish start coming into this cut Into this backwater and and start setting up Oh, dude, this guy's about to eat my jig. He's on something right here. He got it What the heck? I don't even know what he was on he was like on a stick That was what that was one of those we kept seeing circle He just decided to plop down on a stick all of a sudden He went nose down on it. That's crazy What a healthy fish, man Dude buddy pretty cool fish The afternoon report Robin ended up catching a good fish off the bed We finally found a big female that had come in and wanted to play ball But we're going out again tomorrow. We're camping here. This is camp So We got the we got the big rig here I've got the sleeping pad in the back And we're about to cook up the catfish that I caught the other day. So you've hopefully already watched that video But we're gonna get a little fire going And this is my favorite my favorite little buddy of all time for fires I need to go on another bush crafting quest to get some more because I'm almost out But this Right here. I wish you could smell it. It's really dark.  It's the best natural fire stuff and I've got I've got some ash from the house fun fact White ash is what they make baseball bats out of and then we got some oak as well So we're gonna have a fire going we're gonna do a little cooking All right, you guys see how that's lit All the oils in that are just going to flame out and that's gonna keep my My fire going here Because my wood's wet that's gonna get us popping Probably only need one piece because that stuff is just so good A little teepee here around it Should get us going to rise again And boy, did we have a nice rise this morning literally looking at the sunrise. This is my first night Sleeping just in the bear truck bed. So we got our our new Chevy here without the truck cap All right, I was a little worried Slept like a baby perfect camping weather Right around 49 50 degrees. I really want to encourage everybody to to go camp And if you're going fishing do camp and why you're fishing Because it's just so much better. I'll give you three big reasons why I love to do it So number one, well, it's economical You're spending way less money than you would at a hotel or a airbnb or something like that number two It's efficient. So if you're able to camp where you're fishing I mean look at me right here I'm right by the ramp. That's not always the case, but it's it's super efficient and three I suppose is just the freedom So when you camp when you fish Your ability to go to any lake Basically any lake is there You're not restricted by well, there's nowhere to stay out here You can adventure where you want and usually there's a camping A place where you can truck camp a truck camp around there makes it so awesome All right, we got some coffee heating up right here. I'm going to show you guys the biggest hack of all here in a second We got some coffee heating up that we've got a tend to turn that down a little bit. It's a little hot The key to getting a good espresso in the outdoors you want to heat your water first Get it not to boil them, but just hot then you put in Your beans Then you put your lid on that way. You're not burning your beans. You're not getting any burn bean flavor I'm just full of tips today. Let me show you the biggest hack of all my gosh Because what I was getting at with with truck camping I'm encouraging you guys to do it, but the biggest drawback is Sleeping so I think that's what holds a lot of us back from from going camping or truck camping or whatever Is just the sleeping aspect. You don't get as good asleep And after days of doing it, you're just tired and you're like, oh, I can't wait to go home in my own bed But if you can figure out How can you sleep well in the outdoors? Then you're opening up more doors See see how that's going. So let me show you guys something that I have recently come upon I feel like I have got the situation dialed What's not dialed right now is I got water coming out of my coffee deal. We've we've broken a seal on this puppy Might have to get a new ring for my biletti. It's working It's working now. It's coming out, but uh Got some down at the bottom that's never happened to me before We gotta we gotta just let this happen though before I move on to this the sleeping tip What you guys are gonna want to hear Do that beautiful bean footage So this is my sleep setup y'all Let's start with the pillow. That's a temp erpedic pillow, which I love Didn't love it at first. Now I have to have it That helps me sleep on my side All my back doesn't matter. I can sleep either way in the outdoors with the four inch pad So there's a four inch pad in this canvas cutter You don't have to get a canvas cutter, but that is a four inch foam pad in there That I have put a fleece blanket on top of So this is really What I call truck camping weather, you know 40s basically 30 to 60 degrees at night when start to get above that and get a little hot But I like that fleece blanket under there Because if it gets a little too hot sometimes I'll just go with the with the blanket But let me tell you when it's a little colder This new sleeping bag I I've slept in it for a week now I've got about seven days logged in it had another trip where I slept in this thing and I was hot at first It was uncomfortable. I was like, I don't like this, but then I unzipped it And this sleeping bag right here has been This is the best sleeping bag I have ever had And I've got some other zero degrees I've got some really light ones for backpack camping, you know hunting type gear really light stuff This one's sort of a medium weight. It's a zero degree And it is the warmest thing I've ever had. This is a this is a north face This is part of the mountain dew outdoor gear Um, they gave us these because gugans partnered with mountain dew and I was like, I really don't have any north face stuff You know, I've heard it's pretty good. This this is amazing So this one is called the trail light zero degree The cool thing about it is you can unzip it about three quarters of the way So what I do is I tuck my feet in there.  I like to move a lot at night and then they get just get like You just feel like you're wrapped up and it's not comfortable this thing I can roll around and the whole top is open And it's just draped over me. It creates this perfect warm air Insulator, I don't know how to describe it, but it's the best sleeping bag I've ever had And I have slept like a baby in that system guys. Now, there was some dew last night No pun intended, but there's like water on my sleeping bag From all of the moisture that was in the air didn't have a truck cap There was also no bugs.  It's just good for the soul Woke up with the sunrise and the birds tripping kidding me All right, something really interesting just happened Well a couple interesting things. I forgot my toothbrush Which is pretty unfortunate I've done this once before I just kind of prayed the end of a mosquito stick You'd be surprised how well it actually works My teeth feel amazing right now. I'm just not sure I took some fresh mosquito You know mosquito thorns or poisonous I'm really I'm really sure if you're supposed to chew on like fresh green mosquito Let me know down in the comments. The other thing interesting that happened Is I saw Rob walking away from my truck my truck And it appeared that he had just put a toilet in the back of my truck For what reason I don't know we're about to find out Robert I have like a valid explanation why there was a Porcelain toilet It's not porcelain. Is that porcelain? No, it's not porcelain. It's plastic Okay, there's why it was a plastic toilet being Carried to my truck. So I I tested it out Okay, wait This is this is the toilet out of your camper. Yeah And it wasn't installed. It's just kind of in there. Yeah.  You do not want to leave Human feces inside of the toilet for long periods of time Now I had thought okay that Well, it's it's vacuum sealed in here But I didn't put uh two and two together that there's a solvent type deal that you put in with it That breaks it down. Well, it continues to break it down and breaks it down until it's It's it's exposed. Yeah.  Yeah, okay. All right. All right, so you're using science I mean Using science to eliminate the spells Well, that was it. I was just interesting to watch from afar I was like, I think that's a I didn't get an actual toilet He's somehow carrying it. It looked like a porcelain toilet toilet you're carrying across the park a lot It's amazing. It's an amazing scene Anyway, uh, we're out here on the water now and our goal is to try to catch some fish So We're gonna try to do that Like that one that was stuck in back here one problem is it's gonna be so hard to see him What in god's green Eric do I have to do get a hook in you?   Look at that. He's peeing All right, see you buddy a boy over here. He's hitting soprano.  It's not just us to talk to other buddies He's gonna eat right now. He's gonna eat. He's out of bed. That's the only way it's the only way But thank you guys for tuning into today's Camping fishing experience. Hope you learned a little something on camping Uh site fishing it is what it is We're gonna try to catch them any way we can. This is the only way we can right now And stay tuned for the next video because I think we're going to be searching out some properties So I'm gonna keep my peepers on keep looking in this water for some big bass And y'all stay tuned for another outdoor video coming up soon I wish you well. I wish you tight lines. Give them a sniff for me and I'll see you on the next one


Also, so tell me, I was in the crowd yesterday and your hands weren't up long enough. Who's here for the first time at a RubyConf? That's just amazing. Okay. If you're sitting next to one of those people, we have 30 seconds in which you can introduce yourself. So do it. Don't you just love RubyConf? It's an amazing thing. Yeah, that we can do this. If you're new, we're very, very glad that you're here. All right, all right, come back now. Your time's up, time's up, focus, focus. I knew that would happen if I let you go. So RubyConf, the Ruby world is different. Okay, I have to pay attention because I'm AdLib and I can get out of hand. This group, okay, there is a way in which out in the real world, when we are not here, we are all just passing. You know that?  I find it so comforting to be in this room. And part of it, for those of you who are really new, you may not have heard the acronym MINISWON and I don't know if MATS is here this morning. That acronym stands for MATS is nice and so we are nice. Yeah, here he is right in the front. MATS is nice, so we are nice. And part of what makes us a community, like we're a community online, but we're also a community because we get to get together in a group like this. And somebody makes that happen and I can promise you, it is not me.  Actually, I got here yesterday morning and I asked the organizers for some numbers about the conference. I suggested it might be interesting for everybody to know what the whole thing cost and what part of that cost your registration fees paid for. And I wanted to know some other things like how many CFP proposals they evaluated. Like there's a ton of work. Somebody received a t-shirt, somebody got all the signs made. Somebody arranged the AV and Abby, who's one of the organizers, told me if I would send her email she would answer me. Despite the fact that she had a million things to do yesterday, she would send me back that data so I could tell you from stage. And then of course I forgot to send that email. And I got email from her last night that said, what do you need? I will look those numbers up and get them to you by tomorrow morning. And at that point I thought, well this, it was enough really. It adequately illustrated the difference between me and her already. And so I don't have that data for you, but what I am gonna do here, let's do two things, somebody made it possible for us to be here. And I am enormously grateful. And they not only did all the work, but they got all the sponsors. And the sponsors are putting up money. And it really, really matters. I'm gonna name them, OpenGov, Bugsnag, Constant Contact, Ingeniard, Ninefold, Stitchfix, Pluralsight, Rackspace, WePay, and all of the organizers. They make it possible for us to be here. It's part of what makes us, our culture gets built when we get to be together like this. And so my job here is not just to be grateful for being here. This morning I'm here to tell you your future.  I'm gonna do that about 29 minutes from now. And between now and then, I'm gonna tell you your past.  If you're from West of here, if you're from Japan or China or Korea, or if you're from South of here or any place in the Americas. Your story's a little bit different, but all of these histories are like tributaries. And there's a stream, they form together in a stream and lead eventually to the present, so that we're all here together.  First, invented perhaps as long as 7,000 years ago. And certainly, they existed in ancient Egypt by 3,000 BCE. Now if you haven't heard that terminology, BCE stands for Before Common Era. It's now what they're saying instead of BCAD. So there's a Before Common Era and a Common Era. And now that I've defined it, I'm just gonna quit using it. And from now on, I'm gonna use just negative numbers. So this document is written in ink or paint using a reed or a rolled up metal tube on papyrus. That plant found along the banks of the River Nile. And here's a close-up of it. You can see there's not much in the way of spaces or punctuation. There aren't many readers at this time, but there aren't many writers. And they just have some bargain. They can all figure it out. They know what this means. And so scrolls were the very latest in technology from minus 3,000 until right up around the year zero when the Romans got involved. And they created something called a codex. And a codex is just what we would call a book. It contains pages that are bound together along one edge. Books are better than scrolls in that they're random access. You can flip through it and find the thing you want. It's easy to replace just a single damaged page. And for the very first time, you can read and write at the same time. You can read with one hand and write with others. This codex is thin sheets of wood. The pages are thin sheets of wood, and they're covered with wax. And you scratch on them with that stylus and make a short-term record. This is like a Roman etch-a-sketch, kind of. So starting with Romans, books begin to be created by monks in what they called scriptoriums in monasteries. And as far as I can tell, scriptoriums are kind of like a co-working space for writing. But since all the materials are incredibly flammable and the scriptorium is usually right next to the library, the heat is never on. And the monks who did all the copying, they're just like us, right?  And the monks would write little things in the margins. Little complaints, my feet are cold. My hand is cramping. It's all over those old books. And so this painting was commissioned in 692, and it shows a monk in a scriptorium. It's clearly summer because the guy's barefoot. And so monks, being religious people, they write about religious things. They write Bibles and stuff for religious services. Here's an example. It's in Latin, and it's from what they call Psalter, which is part of the biblical book of Psalms. This is written around 1300. And notice the writing is really different now. There are spaces and punctuation, and there's an obvious font. Even though this is handwritten, this font has a name. It's gothic liturgical hand. And there's also a more ornate form of letter that starts sentences and paragraphs. And this sheet, this document, was written by Quill on parchment. So Quills, monks started using Quills around the year 600. And the best, the very best Quill for a right-handed writer comes from the left primary wing feather of a goose. And a big book like The Complete Bible takes about five years to copy. And a Quill lasts about a week. Yeah, you're gonna need a lot of geese. And parchment's made from sheep. And a big book like The Bible is gonna take many hundreds of sheep. And so it's also true that you're gonna need a lot of sheep. And the very best parchment is called vellum. And it's beautiful, it's fine, it's supple, it's easy to erase, it's easy to work with. And it's a kind of parchment, but it's made from baby sheep. And the picture's all broke my heart. So there will be no illustration of vellum. Here's another. This is sheet music. It's 13th century sheet music. It's just beautiful. And so from their start in zero over the next 600 years, Codex has gradually replaced scrolls. And from 600 into the 1400s, books are written by parchment on hand using quills. And by 1407, the monks are making things like this. This is the apex of their craft. This is a Bible. It's on display today in an Abbey in England, in Momsbury, England. This is 1407. But just 40 odd years later, by around 1450, there's a dramatic change. So at this time in Europe, there are a number of objects that are under the eye of everyone. Everybody knows about these things. And the first one is the wine press. Here's an example of one. This is how they work. There's a handle at the top, and it's on that shaft, which is actually a screw. And at the bottom of that screw, there's a lid that fits inside the barrel. And so you can screw it up. You can screw it all the way out and fill the barrel with grapes and then screw it down and press the juice out of the grapes. So this is arguably less romantic, but certainly more efficient than pressing juice out of grapes with your feet. Everybody knows about the wine press. Next, there are coins. So these are Roman coins from the year, from earlier, from like 75 to 79. That's 0075 through 79. And here's how coins are made. Somebody car, you get in any of the front and in any of the back.  Those innings are called dies.  You put them together in a sandwich and you whack them with a hammer. And the blank deforms into the space and it makes the coin. Now the people who made coins, the people who issued coins, really, really, really wanted all the coins to look just alike. And the problem with those dies is they get hit by the hammer over and over again so they wear out quickly. And so it didn't take long for people to figure out that they needed to add another process to the front. And that's this idea of a punch.  You can turn the rods around and whack blanks to make dies and then you use those dies over and over again to make coins.  And so it's possible to make many, many coins that look just alike using this notion, this punch and die process which everyone in Europe is aware of how this works. And so the third thing that's available around this time in the 1400s is something that's been around for about 100 years. It came from China around 1300 and it's paper. Now relative to parchment, paper is a total fail. It's weak, it dissolves in the rain, it can't be erased a million times. It's not very durable but you can make it from rags and hemp and other plant fibers. And it's expensive but while it's expensive it is not nearly as expensive as sheep. And so in the 1430s in Mans, Germany these three things are under the eye of this man, Johannes Gutenberg. And he's a blacksmith and a goldsmith and ultimately he becomes the inventor of the modern printing press. He combines these three things into a grand idea for something he calls an automatic writing machine. And he's obsessed with it. Building it takes the rest of his life. It leaves him in serious legal trouble. It ends up driving him into bankruptcy. It makes other people rich and it changes the world. It takes him many years to make the printing press work and he wanted to print books but like all of this what he did was he spent a number of your shaving yaks. And the big shaggy he had to shave was making this. This is called a sort.  It is an end. If you ink that in and you press the inked in on a sheet of paper it will faithfully transfer that image. But it's actually way trickier than a coin punch because that's the shaft, the size and the shape of that shaft really matter. And it has to be exactly right. And you need to make the printing press work you need a bunch of sorts. You need lots. You need every letter and every font and every size. And they wear out quite quickly. And when you make new ones they have to not only have the letter on the end but the shaft has to be exactly right. And so the printing press is not gonna work until there's a reliable way to copy sorts. And Gutenberg spends many years perfecting this process and he borrows money the whole time. Like he is in debt up to his ears to the VC folks. And here's what he ends up doing. This is it. On the left you can see a thing that looks like a punch. Some a craftsperson carves the letter, the Audi of the letter in the end of a block of metal. And then they temper that metal to harden it. And then they turn that punch around and they punch the indent of it into a softer block that thing on the right, which is called a matrix. And they're gonna use the matrix to cast the end of a sort. The thing they cast in is called a hand mold. Do not even bother to try to understand this. I have looked at it a lot. Here's what I can tell you about a hand mold. The thing A, the thing on the very left is the combined parts of B and C. So B and C are the exploded version of the hand mold. The matrix that you just saw on the prior slide slides into the bottom. Here I'll show you my pointer. Slides in right there and right there. That's where the matrix slides in and the lead gets poured in the top right up here. And so somehow, something about what's inside here creates that sort. And so once Gutenberg had a way to make sorts, he made a machine that looks like this. And you can see, there's the wine press. You can see the handle for the wine press. These are sorts collected in what they call a form. You could ink that form, flip the lever over, slide it under and pull the handle. And there you go. You have one side of one page of a book. And once you get the type set up, an experienced chem can now print 200 pages an hour. One day we were hand copying pages and the next we had the printing press. So Gutenberg printed in total somewhere between 160 and 185 Bibles. A quarter of them on vellum and the rest on paper. This book is 1,300 pages long and it was completed sometime between March and November of 1455, right before Gutenberg went bankrupt and lost the rights to the printing press. So now he's gone. He's completely gone from the story. But the invention remains and it dramatically speeds up printing. All kinds of new works begin to get written and the primary cost of printing is now in the setting of type. Before you can print a page, you gotta collect all the typing aid in every letter and every font of every size and you have to symbol them correctly into the form for the page. And that's a lot of type. It's drawers and drawers of type. And over the next 400 years, a number of conventions emerge in print shops. The, that bigger form of more ornate letter that starts sentences in proper nouns begins to by convention be kept in the upper cases. And the lower, when you need many, many more form of that smaller letter that you use in other places and they are kept in the lower cases. And it is completely unambiguous to tell someone, go get me a lowercase e. They know exactly which letter you're talking about. When laying out a book, it's, you have to, you usually don't have enough type to set all the pages for a whole book at once. So you have to decide in advance how many copies you plan to print of each page. Because you're gonna lay the book out in sections and print a number of copies and then tear down that type and move on and lay out more sections. It wasn't uncommon to discover that when you'd gotten to the end of the section you plan to lay out that you did not have enough type to do that whole page. And now you're stuck, right?  You had run out of sorts, which indeed could put you out of sorts. And the problem of having to reset type because you'd unexpectedly needed to print more copies was solved in 1725 by a man named William Ged. And he started making paper mache impressions of forms of set type. And then he would use that paper mache thing to cast an iron block that had all the letters in it so that he could print from that iron sheet. He used stereotypes. These are stereotypes. And this is where our word came from. Stereotyping was expensive, so it wasn't commonly done. It wasn't the first choice that people had. In this time in 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne, who was already a famous author, wrote the Scarlet Letter. And his publisher, Tickner and Fields, decided that it was gonna be a runaway bestseller. And so they laid out all the type and they printed 2,500 copies of that book. And it sold out in two months. And so then they reset all the type again in all the pages and they printed a bunch more copies. And then that second print run sold out in four months. And then they reset all the type a third time at which time they finally broke down and stereotyped all the pages. So our word stereotype comes from this printing word. It became a metaphor for a set of ideas that are repeated with just small changes. So with the advent of the printing press, the number of books printed in Europe explodes. Note, this chart is logarithmic. That top number is a billion. And while the presses have improved during this time, the sort for every letter on every page of every book that was printed was set by hand. And unlike books, newspapers have to set up and tear down type every day. In the middle of the 19th century, there was no newspaper in the world that was longer than eight pages. And by the 1870s, many people are working on this problem. The problem of automating the setting of type. And by 1884, after eight years of work, this man, Atmar Murgenthaler, has solved it. He's a watchmaker's apprentice from Germany. He moves to DC and from there to Baltimore. And he makes a machine that revolves around something he simply calls a matrix. Here's an example and you can see on it that any of the letter W, this is a lot like Gutenberg's matrix.   Now, you still need a lot of mats. You need every, you need an upper and lower case in every letter and every font and every size. But the machine dynamically cast type a line at a time. And so you don't need near, it makes sorts on the fly, basically. So you don't need nearly as many mats as you used to need of sorts. And this thing, this mat, this matrix is a central part of this machine, which Murgenthaler calls the line of type, line of type machines. And here are the parts. There's a keyboard down at the bottom. There's a keyboard above it. There's a magazine. There's a keyboard. When you press a key, a mat falls down out of this magazine. They fall through that chute and collect in this space. There's also, this piece is called the mold wheel. Behind it is the melting pot. And then up here is the distributor.  The mats fall down from the magazine through the shot and they collect right on that line right there. Spaces aren't mats, they're actually shims. You can see these things are fatter at the bottom than they are at the top. And so the way they justified lines of type for the newspaper is that bar, which is labeled number five in this picture. After you get a line of type, that thing would shove up and the type would spread out till it had hit the stops on the end. So they would mechanically do line justification. Once you've got a line of type justified, you can see it's right there. It would go over on this mold wheel, which behind it has this melting pot where there's a plunger that shoves.  And that's how they cast lines of type. Now all that's left is the mats have to get back where they came from so they can press a key on that keyboard and use them again. And so the end of them, you may notice that they have these teeth on that V-shaped end, but this is a binary code. All the teeth aren't the same.  Believe it or not, I have a demo. Let's now review the entire procedure at a glance. The manipulation of the keys releases the mats from in the magazine. They drop between the assembler and transpartition and are delivered to assembling elevators to form the line. The finished line is sent on to the caster. The mold and the metal pot advance and the plunger makes the cast. The pot and the mold withdraw. Then the first elevator rises to transfer the mats to the second elevator bar. At the same time, the slug, trimmed at the base and sides, is ejected into the galley. The mats go to the distributor. Moved by the helicoidal screws, they run along the length of the distributor bars so that with the procedure already noted, they fall into the respective channels of the magazine, ready for use in succeeding lines. Thomas Edison called the lineotype machine the eighth wonder of the world. Book publishers and newspapers bought lineotype machines as fast as they could get their hands on them. Newspapers went from eight to 48 pages practically overnight. There was an explosion of printed material. Suddenly we were setting type in lines per minute instead of minutes per line. Here's the place in the newspaper where all the lineotype machines are, where they all are, is called the composing room. And this is the composing room of the New York Times in 1942. And here's the Dallas Morning News. So this room is a workplace safety nightmare. It is really hot. It's incredibly loud. There's molten lead. The machine will not stop moving. This is newspapers in the 19, in this era, newspapers are one of the few places in the United States that actively recruited deaf employees. Because if you were gonna work in the composing room, it was best if you already had a hearing loss. Takes a lot of practice to operate these machines. He makes it look simple because they're really good at it, but it's very, very hard. Like they're making decisions on the fly about how much text will fit on a single line. They're just doing it. They're hyphenating words, they're doing everything. Those lineotype machine operators. If you type too fast, they get you jammed, you can imagine. It's a nightmare. It's very hard to make operating that machine look easy. This is a man at the Dallas Morning News doing manual spell check. So once they set lines of type, they go out to what they call the makeup men in those little trays. And here's a guy that, so everybody who does this wants to read upside down and backwards, left to right. This is a, they're laying out the sports page again in 1942 at the New York Times. So once the forms get put together, they have to level the top of the type so that they all get inked evenly. And so this guy, you can't really see it. He's swinging a mallet here. So he's just wailing on the form, trying to get the type leveled. So the line of type machine makes everything easier in terms of printing newspapers, but it's still quite labor-intensive.  And it's completely possible to just drop something. And it's a real pain to fix typos. So you can never complain about CSS again. So this machine, the line of type machine, is responsible for an explosion of content and a brand new transparency of information. It makes it possible for newspapers to print anything they can find out every day. It boosts the production of books and magazines. The price of education goes down in literacy everywhere, worldwide skyrockets. Print becomes both affordable and ubiquitous. And in 1928, this was the primary type setting device in the world. So back in the night, I'm gonna give you some numbers now. In the 1500s, a thousand different printing presses created somewhere between eight and 20 million copies of just 29,000 different titles. By August 5th, 2010, there were 129,864,880 different books in print. More or less, according to Google. Information is power, and the line of type machine made it available to anyone. But as with all of these arcs in technology, the line of type serene ended as quickly as it began. In the mid-1960s, it was replaced by the computer. And I remember when this happened. I grew up in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and my father worked for the daily paper. He was officially a member of the printer's union. And while he could at need operate a line of type machine, he was actually a mechanic. It was his job to keep the dirty, hot, noisy, dangerous line of type machines and presses running. No matter what disaster occurred, they put a paper out every day. They took enormous pride in this. Some days it wasn't very big. Some days it was actually just a pager too, depending on what disaster had occurred. But when the newspaper was the only website that was, they never, ever let it go down. My dad wore black clothes to work because it was impossible to get any other color clean. And his hands were always nicked and dinged and burnt. And there was no amount of that lava soap with a grid in it. Like his hands were never clean. They never looked clean. And in my childhood in the 1960s, he would sometimes come home with brass mats in his pockets. But at this time, in this era, in the 1960s, hot type is ending. And it's being replaced by something they call cold type. And he studied electronics. He took a correspondence course in electronics and studied in a room in our basement. And I remember this because, well, first of all, I had an oscilloscope and that was so totally cool. Like I so wanted to get my hands on the oscilloscope. And also he was missing in the evenings a lot during that year while he was taking this correspondence course. And because at the end of it, one day I was, as a small child, I was sitting in his lap and I noticed, I was startled to notice that his hands were pink and clean. The hot type was replaced by cold type by the computers meant that there was a cathode ray tube where you could actually see the letter that you had typed without having to cast a hunk of lead. And my father swam, he learned this technology. He swam across the transition from cold to hot type. And he spent many, many more years in the newspaper business, though as had been true for scribes and line-to-type machine operators and centers of movable type, all those people for him, many of his colleagues did not. And so now, finally, as promised, against the backdrop of 5,000 years of the creation of content and the control of information, it's time for your fortune. And brace yourself, because I'm gonna tell you the real truth and some of it's hard. Everything will change. Everything.   Your grandparents, your parents, everyone. Some of them will die in quiet peace after a long life well lived, but others will not be so lucky and their ends will come in confusion and pain and with regrets.  And they will leave you alone in guilt and anger and grief. And regardless of how they go, you'll see them pass. And one by one as the generations ahead of you disappear, you'll feel yourself taking those giant step forward in the mortality line. I know that this is your future because it's already my past. These things will come to be. Next, along the way, your body will fail you. Your eyes will weaken. You'll be unable to read street signs in unfamiliar places at night or menus in dimly lit restaurants.  There are reading glasses in your future. You'll have surgery on one or more joints and get on far too intimate a terms with your orthopedic surgeon. You'll develop low back trouble and a repetitive motion injury. You've spent far too many years sitting at your keyboard frozen into position and eventually you sort of just get stuck that way. Yeah, ask me how I know. All of these things have happened to me. And not only will your family change and your body change, but your work will change. I got my first programming job in the spring of 1978, just three short months before the New York Times last set a newspaper using a linotype machine. Mosaic, the first web browser, didn't come out till 15 years later. O.1A was released in June of 1993. And Ruby, the first real Ruby that we use, O.95, was released two years after that on December 21st of 1995. Now it's only 20 some years after the first web browser and now the internet is at the center of our lives. We live inside this bubble, so it's hard to remember but the job you have today appeared as suddenly as that of a linotype operator. In the 60s and 70s when photo typesetting appeared, these machines became worthless almost overnight. Newspapers disposed of them by throwing them from upper story windows into parking lots and having them hauled off for scrap. So there you go, that's your fortune. It doesn't involve an unexpected inheritance or a tall, dark stranger. Unfortunately, those are edge cases. This is your real fortune. This is the thing you share in common with everyone in this room. You can think of it as being on a happy path of the app of your life. And I admit, it sounds bad. Death, decay, and obsolescence. What's not to like? But in the arc of your life, this is the happy path. These are the things that you can depend on. They're the abstraction, the meta layer that stands above all of the daily change. If your life really were an application, you wouldn't ignore the inevitable. You'd get on this right now. You'd be writing code for these features today. Accepting the truth of this fortune makes it clear what's important. The MVP of the only app that matters are health, happiness, and the world we leave our children. And I want you to start working on this app right now. There's some low hanging fruit. And I get to stand up here and say, now I'm gonna give you some advice.  Do real things. Tell everyone you love them today. You might think about getting a little dog. Health, you don't have to do anything dangerous, but do something. It's a rear guard action. Believe me, I know, but go down fighting. Take walks. Get an ergonomic keyboard. Get some exercise. Get a bike. Go to the gym. If it suits you, get a bicycle. You cannot make up tomorrow for not working out today. And believe me, I promise you, you're going to want your body later. So there are parts of the app you can work on by yourself and parts of the app, but there are also parts that are more suited for us to all work on together. Our community is important, and your place in it matters. It goes without saying that you can contribute to open source, but you don't have to be on the Ruby Core team to make a real, meaningful contribution. Showing up in small ways can make a big difference. It's still morning in our community, and if you stand up just a little bit taller, you can cast a very long shadow. So we can do things for ourselves and we can do things for our own tech community, but we are also uniquely qualified to do things for others. We're bigger than the programming language that brought us here. We're members of a tribe, the tribe of information, and our lineage goes through scribes and typesetters and through line of type operators, from scrolls to codexes, from scriptoriums to composing rooms. We carry the mantle of the open sourceers of information, and I feel doubly a member of this tribe, since not only do I do this work, but I was raised by a man who came home with mats in his pockets and ink in his hands. My dad's known in his early 80s, and he happily works four days a week. Two of those at Enterprise, a rental car, guess?  And two at the local food bank, where he stockshelves and does the books and mows the lawn, and gets loans for people who can't keep the electricity on and tries to make sure that people don't go hungry. And despite his efforts, they do. I will not presume to say that you have an obligation to something bigger than yourself, but he feels one and I inherited this feeling from him. Your schools need help, your neighborhoods need help. If you want, you can pitch in literally. There are a million ways. This is one of my favorite, Habitat for Humanity. They build houses. I am not one bit religious, and so I just ignore all that when I go. I love this mission. We want to belong and we want to change the world. And Habitat lets you do both of these things while working with dangerous tools. Once at Habitat, I kid you not, they let me drive the Bobcat. But even if you're not the nail banging sheet rock hanging type, I can tell you from personal experience that Habitat's volunteer management software sucks. As a matter of fact, I feel comfortable making a sweeping generalization about which I hope you will not tweet. All of these organizations, like the people who are doing these works, wrote their own software and they are not programmers.  We can make a big difference just by improving that. Everywhere I look, there's something that needs doing and I can promise you, there is deep satisfaction in taking care of it. It's an axiom among cyclists that either there's a headwind or you're having a good day. And I'm always tempted to claim a fast when-desisted right as my own accomplishment as if I really am that strong and did it all myself. But I can't forget that if my doppelganger, if little Sandy Me were out on the same day in the same terrain, under the same conditions, but right in the opposite direction, that she would work just as hard but accomplish far less. We are here because we have done the work. We got into this tribe by dent of our own efforts and because of our care for our craft. But we have also been blown here by the twintail winds of chance and change. We deserve our successes. There's no doubt. But there's a way in which we are also here because we are lucky enough to have the wind at our backs. Having looked at the past, we can predict the future. Change. And by an accident of timing, we stand at the vortex of that change, at the intersection of information and technology. Unlike many others, we have choices and the things we choose now will create the world that everyone sees next. I challenge you, choose something big.


uh Yeah, okay So all the audio level should be better on this free style flow. Yeah, everything should be more balanced Yo, the audio from YouTube studios beautiful This is called the creator music beta.  Yeah, that is so dope and then we got my Audio level on this wireless mic should be all balanced up Should sound nice and better than the first round free style that we just did. Let's see how this goes Where is this gonna go? Nobody knows.   Yeah, you know, it's true. Yeah, you know, it's true. It's all conditional. Love you fool Yeah, it's all freedom appearing as this.  Yeah, bloke just because there's a body doesn't mean There's a me or a center point. It's just bodies everywhere one universe Functionality of the body is basic needs. Yeah get that water that food that housing that energy Yeah Decentralize those basic needs all of a sudden. There's no matrix mentality of the bodies. Everybody is just free It's just free to play every day Innocently with its friends doing whatever it wants Absolute freedom absolute freedom absolute freedom Already this already this already this Ooh, this one was pretty good So we're on the third page of this there's Many so looks like Could probably keep doing this for a while all these different free styles with these instrumental tracks And just see where it keeps going and flowing Yeah Just want to double-check the usage details of the ones that are good Okay, we could play with this one Yeah, cuz up here I saw that this usage detail required Including the following information in the description. That's just more of a headache Okay Yeah, that puppy dog Emoji in the last chat. Yeah, you know, that's how we do puppy dog in In a sense whoop whoop Whoop whoop that innocence whoop whoop that innocence whoop whoop that innocence. Yeah, you already know It's always been that innocence. It's always been that innocence. It's never left that innocence.        How else could it work universe contracting down into a little tiny thing? Oh my god, I lack. I'm real. I exist. I'm my motherfucking name. You are others.    I like this one. Let's see what's next Hmm Question in the chat about if I am sober answer is yes, of course Bro in one video mentioned that there is no self, but after you say you are everything Everything is you yeah, of course obviously It's the same thing What's this one? Okay, okay, we can jam with this We can jam with this.  There is emptiness inside Everything is wholeness. There is no individual insight. It's too motherfucking easy. Can't you see there is only the Wholeness all of nature just like the trees Everything is one organism.  Everything is the same nameless goddamn flow Everything is that one thing without a center. Yo, it's too motherfucking easy But you try to make it complicated with all these concepts and ideas Put a stop to it.    Yeah Motherfuckers love you in the motherfucking live chat.  Oh, yeah, that makes such a big difference if this is tripping on a psychedelic or a substance like cannabis or alcohol Or tobacco because all that mind knows how to do is conceptualize because it's a motherfucking fool It wants to put everything into boxes non-stop. It wants to demonize certain substances versus not That's all it knows how to do.  I'm smarter than you. I know more than you So you are dehumanized.  It's that motherfucking simple. This is chaos. It's anarchy Everything goes. It's a decentralized autonomous Organization yo, yeah, it's all motherfucking entertainment and comedy for motherfucking nothing.  It's all ordinary and simple Just like the wind wrestling through the trees No concrete no solidity. Yeah, you know, that's key because concrete solidity be an illusion It be a mirage. I think I'm my name Yeah, right. Yeah. Oh, I'm my name.  Yeah Free the nip free the nip free the ball sock. I'm not wearing underwear.    I'm so worried now about everything because of separation.   Everything's okay. Everything goes everything goes everything flows Everything goes everything flows no separation in sight. Everything's okay. Just take flight Whatever is meant gonna happen just Whatever is gonna happen. It's already the infinite cosmic flow. There's not even ability to surrender Yo, because it's already the very thing that's happening everywhere at once.  These are empty words everything that's being said is empty words And the thing that's listening is empty.  This is not a journey or a destination. There's no entity. There's no location It's already free. It's already free. It's already free Just a movie playing just a movie playing whatever's arising on the screen of perception whatever's happening Whatever sensation thought idea, whatever doesn't matter It's all just empty flow Okay, we can go with this for a bit. Let's see what happens. Let's see what happens.  It's just empty flow. That's you. It's everywhere at once. There's no center point It's everything happening at once. It's motherfucking love. It's freedom. It's perfection Everything is this simply this just this Whatever's appearing is freedom. Anything appearing is freedom and wholeness Everything appearing is wholeness. Everything appearing is wholeness Everything appearing is wholeness. It's all innocent free and spontaneous. It's all innocent free and spontaneous It's all innocent free and spontaneous. What up? Yeah On wholeness was such an illusion What is this Okay Yeah Uh yeah, okay. There's a question in the live chat about liking Douglas Harding. Yeah Yeah Headless way headless way headless way.   It can never be filled. All you can do is just motherfucking be it Just motherfucking be the void that's already there.  It's too easy Oh my god, I lack therefore I need I will grab everything in sight to try to fill up What's empty inside it will never ever ever ever happen motherfucker? It will never happen because it's already here. It's already there. It's everywhere wholeness is already everywhere The very thing that's hearing these words is emptiness the very thing that's watching this video is already whole It's already empty. It's already fulfilled. Can't you see?  Yeah Uh, yeah much love in the fam chat Yeah Freedom is already here freedom is already here Freedom is already here because there isn't even an entity. It's already free It's already free There's no entity. It's already free already free No entity Already free already free No entity Only the whole only the whole ha ha ha All this shit's way too funny, man There's only the whole yet.  It thinks it's others There's no such thing as another. There's never been a fucking other It's not possible for there to be separation or another Ha ha ha ha ha Empty concepts empty concepts everything is free Everything is already free Everything is already free already free already free already free already free already free Already free already free empty can't you see Already free already free Yeah, wholeness can't you see wholeness can't you see it's already free Every, everything at once, everywhere at once, yeah, hmm, everywhere at once, everywhere at once, yeah, wholeness is so fulfilling, yes it is, and it's already here, there's nothing to get, everything is so wow, it's so beautiful, profound, it's so pure, it's so joyful and blissful and cool, already and forever, enjoy it, enjoy it, just a fireworks show for no one, enjoy it, enjoy it, just a fireworks show for no one, for no one, fireworks show for no one, yeah, fireworks show for no one, already free, already free, already free, already free, simply basic needs, okay we can do this, what we got in the live chat, oh yeah, there's more questions about psychedelics, yeah man, you sure you not dropping acid bro, see this is the fascinating thing, this is the natural state, it's already this, this is already what is, it's already what is, before and need contracted center point, that then needs to take substances, the contracted center point, the me, that is the psychedelic trip, the most psychedelic thing in the universe is that their separation isn't that crazy, and then it needs to take a parent psychedelics to realize it's everything, so the natural state is that there's no one, it's actually the least psychedelic, the least trippy thing imaginable, is that you're everything everywhere at once because you're no one, you are everyone everything, so simple man, too simple, too free, too simple, too free, too simple and free, and then the me wants to over complicate with concepts, ideas, boxes and bounds, separation, yeah, and then it leads to war, leads to ideologies, yeah, that shit's crazy motherfucker, it's perfection arising as the craziest shit imaginable, absolute mind blowing, the illusion of a center point, I am a separate something, I don't like these other separate some things, I want more for myself because I believe I am real and separate and profound, I am so special with my knowing, and that ignorant fool is an absolute chump and I have no problem blowing their head off, that's the sound of ignorance, but it's still perfect, it's still the freedom of everything, believing in separation, a complete illusion, yes it is, complete illusion, separation is a complete illusion, separation is a complete illusion, a center point is an illusion, an entity is an illusion, pull that thread all the way to non-locality, freedom, I don't know if I can end the list off more make out, okay we'll play with it, yeah, oh nice, yeah I like that comment, okay, so there's a comment in the live chat about how much time and energy is wasted on ego energy, yeah, yeah that's extremely fucking true, even though it's perfection, already freedom, no one arising as that, it's still fucking un-energy suck, yes it is, I am un-whole, so I need, so then I manipulate everything in the appearance to try to fill that void, and then I don't care at all about the whole, I forget about basic needs, I forget about solar punk future, free energy, I forget about new communities, I forget about decentralization, I forget about abandoning separation, I forget about all of those things, and so I'm excessively focused on me, so then all of my energy goes to me, how can I get more material possessions, I lack, I lack, I lack, I need more, more, more, more, more, six figures isn't enough, I need seven or eight just to feel worthy and be validated by my parents and society, and then I can get a proper girlfriend, and then I can have a family, you see if more and more people run that same script, this whole place is going to mutually usher destruction or M-A-D, yeah that spells mad motherfucker, the opposite of mad is Dao, D-A-O, decentralized autonomous organization of basic needs prosperity, because the self sees it's empty, when the self sees it's empty, it is no one that sees the emptiness that it is, therefore the functionality changes from the script of lack to the script of wholeness. Imagine that, interesting, it doesn't look like this one's an instrumental but let's see where this one takes us, so some of these that are not instrumentals seem also pretty good, let's go, okay let's go, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah, okay question in the lab chat, yeah there is no time, yeah there is no space, yeah there is nothing appearing, nothing appearing, nothing appearing, yeah, can't understand it, can't know it, can't know it, obsolete the question, abandon the question, can't know it, no one to know it, no one to know it, obviously nothing, everything in an appearance called time and space, so just abandon the question, fuck that question, you are literally divine perfection, asking a question, you are already empty, asking a question about what is this?   Perfect and free. Yeah All right, let's see where this one takes us I love how The live chats vibing with each other Those love vibes Oh, okay. Okay. Maybe we'll reveal some nipple action again. Yeah Freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom freedom Let's get a little closer to that nipple. Yeah Nipple nipple nipple nipple nipple action.


those commercial breaks. I'll get you every time. So we were talking about vaccines joining us once again, our bipartisan panel, Robin Byro and Melissa Armo. So we were coming just seconds. I'm so good at doing that. So Robin, I want to give you ample time. And of course, Melissa, I want to give you time to respond. But you were trying to explain the vaccines. We were showing that undercover video from project Veritas and you were there. That commercial was also coming up. But I want to give you time to respond to that. So we were talking about Dr. Anthony Fauci. We were talking about the undercover video. Where do you stand on this? Because I'm still and a lot of people are shaking their heads.  Why are we not putting that information out there? Why isn't that being more widespread instead of a vaccine that, frankly, what do we know? The science has more than 95 95% of people are going to survive if they get COVID. I can answer that. If you if the if the argument is that your antibodies are perfectly fine, then we wouldn't need to address COVID at all. We would just let it run rampant and we would have more than 700,000 people be dead right now. The CDC, you can go on cdc.gov right now. And it says that if you get vaccinated, your chance of getting a severe illness is a lot less. You may still get the Delta variant, but your chances of getting a severe illness and possibly death as it says right here are significantly less if you get one of these vaccines. I'm just advocating for people. I mean, certainly if you're immunocompromised and should not get vaccinated, please talk to your doctor, listen to your doctor. But what if you already I want to clarify, but what if you already had COVID and you have those antibodies, which I believe are good for about a year, according to the latest report that I've read, if that is better defense than getting the vaccine, why would you then go ahead and get the vaccine? I don't want everyone to get COVID. That that is herd immunity. That is making the case that everyone should just go ahead and get COVID right now so that they're a natural. But I'm saying if you already have it, let's say you already had COVID and you have those antibodies or tests that you can take that say you have the antibodies and science is saying that's your best defense. Shouldn't that be better that you stick with that than going ahead and getting the vaccine? Melissa, help me out here because I want you to be able to chime in. Am I making sense? Maybe not. I'm not a doctor. Well, I'm going to go back to 1700s and 1700 smallpox killed millions of people and at that time, they didn't have a vaccine. Okay, so they use people used to actually inoculate themselves. Now, what does that mean? They actually took little pieces of thepox and they used to stick it up their nose or in their mouth and they give themselves a virus hoping that they would have it get sick, get over it and then be inoculated from ever getting it in a terrible way where they were died. That's what people did way back in the day. The U.S. Surgeon General brought this up just this week. I think it was on an ABC interview where he talked about inoculation as if that was the same thing as having vaccine mandates. It is not. It is not. If you get the virus, you have antibodies and I think actually if they last in your blood, in your immune system way longer than a year, we don't know now because this is the only thing going on for 18, 19 months. As far as what Robin was saying about what we should have done and how many people were going to die. I remember in March of 2020, Fauci and President Trump at the time stood on TV and said, if we don't shut down for 15 days, if we don't shut down for 30 days, that a million people could die. Guess what? We're almost there. We're almost there.  At some point, could be the end of the year, could be into 2022 from this show. In the end, what was the point of shutting down the economy? What was the point of shutting down? We never focused on things at the beginning to help prevent people from getting this in the first place. I think we should have done that. They're still not wanting to do that. Why? Because the pharmaceutical companies are making billions of dollars selling the vaccine. As far as that video, I do have to agree with Robin. I really wanted, those are the scientists behind this vaccine. God help us all. But I mean, they were out drinking alcohol and talking, but I mean, I hope that's not the best of the best and the cream of the crop. We are going to have to leave it there. I hope I gave you both ample time to respond to all of those questions. Thank you very much for sticking around. Robin, Byron, Melissa, Arma, what do you think you heard our panel had to say? More importantly, we want to hear what you have to say. You can always let us know by finding me at realmoreandicon. Hashtag share your voice. We'll be right back.


and probably the most influential saint in my lifetime in many ways would be Pope Saint John Paul II. I'm Polish American by my ancestry. I grew up in Chicago. I was ordained in 1978, the year of three popes, the year that he was elected pope. In fact, I remember very clearly where I was when I found out about that. I was in law school and I was waiting for the elevator. And one of my classmates came to me and he said, did you hear the news? They've elected a new pope. This is October of 1978. And I said, no, I hadn't heard that. I said, who is he? He said, well, he's Polish. And I honestly said, what's all right? What's the punchline? I thought he was gonna tell me a Polish joke frankly. And it wasn't a joke, it was that we had a Polish pope. And what an incredible pope he was.
