to actually work, but it appears to be working. Look at the thing on the tablet, the other tablet. First, am I live right now? Yeah, you are. Oh, am I? Yep. You started it? Sorry. What's going on here? First, I missed that. No one's done first. So supposedly, the Shana has set up something that should make the video better today. Is it any better today? Do I look less like a goon? Wait, no, it doesn't fix that. She actually said you'd just be better. I wanted to get a thing that makes me look better, not just makes the signal better.  So here's my thought. So here is my thought. I motor to the canal, spend the money on that. Rebuild a dry dock and rebuild a Delfi on your own for views. So, oh, Ken says everything looks crisp. Hello from, oh, I didn't know you were in Scotland. I went swimming in the North Sea once in the winter. It was very cold. Oh, Jeff Krupty's got a jerky video today. Stop jerking your video and maybe it'll stop jerking. So Shana did a thing that's supposed to make the video less jerky, so hope it's better. OK, a Delfi. Yeah, totally. Drive your boat as far as you can get it and then just come over. She's saying that you would take it apart, drive it across the continent, go out in the water and back together here. Yeah, man, that sounds great. Karina says my video looks very crisp, lovely. Oh, excellent. I'm so happy. It's Tomaters. Hey, guys, how you doing? So I'm one. I look choppy and a couple of people look crispy. So Jeff says it was better. Really, I thought last week we had terrible internet. We were getting so many bad connections. But anyway, I'm just going to start talking. Hopefully, the audio at least comes through. You don't really have to see me. I just look like a goon. I look the same the whole time. Hopefully, you can at least hear me. And hopefully, two or 3% of what I say makes sense. Yeah, a Delfi. Sail your lead wooden yacht here and then take it apart and put it back in the back. You get free dry dock and YouTube views. Oh, a free dry dock. That'd be kind of cool with crane stuff to pull boats. I actually recently made it so I can get one of my boats in and out a lot easier out of the water. So I've got my one boat that is the zombie chopper. It's my small white boat. That one I pull out of the water because it's not that big. And the problem was as I was pulling it out and putting it back in, it was cutting a groove and getting deeper and deeper. And then because it's touching more mud, not mud, it was getting harder and harder to pull in and out. Plus it was getting lower. So it was lower in the propeller with like touching the water. So I threw it in the water, well shoved it in the water. And then there to build up, build it back up where it cut the groove.  So now the boat comes up right on that pipe so it doesn't cut into the ground. Ooh, PK says the colors are popping. How's the fur? I'm not gonna do questions yet. First, I'm gonna, because I always like to start by talking about something. Well, I don't know if I should say I like to start about something. I feel like I should give some kind of monologue though. Otherwise I'm being a irresponsible, what do you call it? What am I doing here? You two machine pod riser? Something just happened over here and I have no idea. Okay, fix it. Oh my gosh, what is going on? Okay, fix it, I think. Okay, so what I was gonna talk about today since I plan thoroughly and thought about it all week was I wanna say on behalf of people who have tools to all the people who don't have tools, no, you can't throw it. You can't borrow my screwdriver and then give it back and say, this doesn't work. I only got like two screws done and look how crappy the end is.   And I was pushing as hard as I could. I was pushing so hard and I had to drill on full speed and it wouldn't even get the two hole. I just wouldn't even drill the second hole. Oh, all I did was a glowing orange.  And it's like, boom. So you're upset with, because you don't know how to use oil or slow down your drill hole. So whenever someone asks me to borrow a tool and partly I'm saying this because in my youth I would feel the pressure from people who can borrow my stuff but for all the people who still borrow your tools and you don't want to and people will pressure you. They'll say, hey, can I borrow your new chainsaw?  What am I gonna do to it? What am I gonna do to it? Come on.  Like they are in time to do stuff when you plan to head and give the money, hide this thing and you take care of it and they just showed up and said I want it. Which brings me to a few examples of this to reinforce this horribly good idea of not loaning tools. I am not a sharer. Do not ask tools. Change, my first, I was a little green chainsaw, cost me $200. I was like, I had a lot of money. $200 was a lot of money to me at the time. It was like the cheapest change I could buy that was like pretty decent and someone asked to borrow it and I was like, I don't know, man. And he's like, what am I gonna do to your chainsaw? What am I gonna do? Come on, I know how to use chainsaw. It's fine. And finally I was like, all right, you can use my chainsaw. It came back with the switch broken. You know the little, does the choking stuff? And from then on, I had to have a screwdriver to start the damn chainsaw. Oh, 10 years ago, my friend, my good friend. Like a brother to me. Like a best friend. He visited me in my off-grid paradise in Vermont. Not my off-grid place here, the place I first went. And he came to visit me from New York. He drove up and he's like, wow, cool, man. I love your place. It's so cool. I love getting all that yen. Whoa, you have a spot welder. And I was like, yes. I mean, it's kind of expensive, but I was so lucky I was on the right place and this guy, yeah, I'm on my way to an auction. You know, I was like, well, yeah, I want it. I picked up this spot welder, $75. Oh, can I borrow it?  And like, I got plans for that. It's like, come on, it's a spot welder. I'm not gonna hurt it. I know, I know the thing. This was a good friend. Who builds things and has used a lots of tools. So I'm like, all right, man, but you got to do it. And I need it back in a few months because I have a project I'm gonna work on. So you got to take good care of it, though. He's like, oh yeah, man, don't, it's no problem, no problem. So he takes my spot welder. Three months later, I talked to him on the phone. You're coming up to visit next week, right? Yeah, can you bring my spot welder? I need it back for that thing I was talking about that I was gonna do. And he says, what spot welder?  You took it with you when you took it. He's like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, I gave that to you already. And I'm like, you haven't been here since then. Where is my spot welder? I, to this day, I have no spot welder. My spot welder was gone. He never told me what happened to it. It's just gone. I let him borrow it. Phew, gone. More recently, I let someone borrow pickaxe. He said, hey, take care of my pickaxe. Don't use it as a pr- The only thing you should ever use as a pry bar is a pry bar. Use it, don't use it as a pry bar. He was like, can I borrow your shovel too? I was like, okay, the shovel really don't use as a pry bar. Two days later, I visited him. And he's like, hey man, yeah, yeah, I got your tool. And I'm like, what do you mean? They both snatched my pickaxe. Both snapped in half. And I was like, what were you doing with my tools? He's like, no, they weren't very good.  Your tools, they weren't very good. They were weak. And I was like, did you use a pry bar? No, it was just digging, just digging. Where were you digging? Not just, where were you digging? Fine, over there. I go over there. There's this tree. Pump thing. Clearly has had a shovel in there. Pry it out. Both snapped. And I'm just like, dude, and he didn't replace them. I just got back broken tools. Another time, I loaned a friend a saw and an axe.  Later that day, when it started sprinkling rain in, I was like, I'm gonna go check on my tools that I loaned to this guy. So I go over to his house and sure enough, my tools are on the side, leaning against some things and in the grass, getting rained on. And they're already getting rusty. And I say to the guy, dude, my tools are getting rusty. What are you doing? You can't just leave them out in the rain. He's like, oh, they're tools. I mean, who cares? I'm like, no, they're meat tools. Will you have someone else's stuff? You have to take their face. Give me a break. So I took my tools back and he got angry at me. Angry at me, because I let him use my stuff. Another time, I loaned a tape measure. Actually, I didn't even loan it to him. He just took it for this thing. I take tape measure for a second. So he takes my tape measure and he goes and struts it out across all this mud. And he gets his measurement and he's about to push the button. Keep in mind, the tape measure is laying in mud. Soggy, sopping web, mushy mud. The tape measure is laying it and he's about to push the button. They're stuck all the mud right back into the thing. And I run over, I'm yelling, no.  He's like, what's your problem, man? And I'm like, dude, what is gonna all the mud on the tape measure when you wind it back up? He's like, whatever, dude, it'll just come off. I'm like, no, it'll go into the tape measure.  So instead, I spent 20 minutes cleaning off 20 feet of tape measure, which was now caked in mud. So anyway, more recently, anytime I had anyone else to borrow my tape measure, or pretty much anything. You want to borrow my pot? The answer is no. And people get upset with me. Why not, man? What do you think I'm gonna do? What, I'm your friend? Don't you care about me? Don't you love me? I do care about you.  I'm gonna be annoyed about when you break it. Oh, are you saying I'm gonna? No, I don't know. Maybe you'll break it, maybe you won't. Sometimes people return things, but the number of times that people give me stuff back broke or dirty or in worse condition than I lent it out makes it worth loaning anything out to anyone. So, I'm just gonna come out right now and say that no one may borrow any of my stuff. And I'm gonna give person to any other adventure builders out there.  And when they try to give you some kind of guilt trip, oh, just say double no. Maybe you need to know what to say when they send you the guilt trip. Because people, hey, can I borrow that? And you say, I don't really want to loan it out. And now they give you the guilt trip. Oh, come on, man! And that's when you say, okay, now that you're giving me a guilt trip, like you feel tied to my stuff? Absolutely no. Definitely no. You're not entitled to my stuff. This is my stuff. I went to the, buy it and I take care of it. No, you can't have it. And I don't know if you're gonna wreck it or not, but it's not worth the risk to me. I need this stuff, I need this for myself. So just say no. All right, that's all I've got to say about that. Hopefully someone out there has been saved from loaning out their tools. And next time someone asks, they're gonna just say no. I wanna add that this also means that if you are the person to borrow the thing, you should just stop yourself right now and don't do it. Oh yeah, that's another good point.    This includes asking people to do things for you. Yeah. All right, let's see what we've got here over here in the comments. So is the video better now than it used to be, by the way, or the audio? Cause DeShana set up a thing. It's supposed to make it better than it was. So let me know how that's going. See, you remind me, on our video recently, totally agree with what you were talking about. Oh, good. Yeah, honor is important stuff, man. Let's see. All right, I'm gonna scroll down to the bottom of the comments. If you have any questions, if you've had any questions or comments that should be reading or listening to or paying attention, please write them now. I've already written them. Just paste it and post it again. You're not being rude. I just reading them while I was doing my whole raving monologue there. So if you have a question, question at the beginning of it in capital letters, so it kind of stands out. So it's easy for me to find it. Hey DeShana. Did you have any from anything this week? Videos, did I put it this week? An honor video? Yeah. Oh, we're supposed to honor. Hopefully that was good. It's commenting that they do not love their stuff, which yes, totally don't loan out your stuff. And yes, also don't borrow stuff from people. Like most of the time when people borrow things, they don't even really need the thing. Like one time, is it in Vermont and they were camping on my land. They're like, yeah, we're gonna camp out for the week. And they're like, hey, Jamie, we need some duct tape. And I'm just like, why do you think I have free duct tape? And they're like, come on, you gave me this hard time for like 15 duct tape. And I'm just like, I'm not giving you duct tape. I mean, if I have any, I'm not just giving it to you to use for a weekend and then it's just gonna be garbage. And then like, fine, okay, fine.  They don't really need it. They're just like, I feel like, she's just, I don't know. And they need it, get your own or make one or pair of the broken ones. Once, okay, the guy broke my pickaxe handle. He tried to then borrow my other one. He's like, this one broke. Let me use your other one. Like, heck no. And I actually made that guy make a new pickaxe. I didn't make him make a new handle for the shovel because it took him forever and he did a terrible job. But hopefully at least learn something from the effort of making a handle for the pickaxe. Oh, tomatoes will be burping, burp. So Russell Brand stopped sweating flies while talking. Someone must be, you guys are having a whole conversation over there that I have totally missed. I don't know what's going on. Can I borrow everything? Yes, no, you can't borrow anything. And that's one of the things when people come to visit here, the first thing you wanna know is how much stuff they can borrow. And I would be like, well, all right, let me see what you can use. Now I'm just like, no, you have your own stuff. You don't use any of my stuff. You use your own stuff. And it's funny when someone comes to me and says, yeah, but like, you have, how is the angle grinder? Everyone wants the angle grinder. You have an angle grinder. So it's easier for you to blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, when I first came here, I did not have an angle grinder. I built an entire boat with an a rusty saw, you know? Oh, hi, you came to visit. What are you not going on there? Questions from my video earlier this week. Yeah. Which I have not read. You've scanned and what's it called, filtered out all the trolls and stuff. No trolls? That's because they know I'm filtering them out. I don't even want to know. I didn't even want to know what you said. Are you sure? So yeah, I don't even want to know what you said. Okay. Your tablet is cracked. That's not my tablet. That's Aurora's tablet. Did she drop it down the stairs? No, we don't want to talk about what happened. What happened? Okay. So, Joel McKenna would like to know, and this is really the ABC of honor. Oh yeah, the ABCs of honor. How do we increase commitment in another? Ha! That is, yeah, I feel like I kind of dressed by video where it was like, you can't make other people do stuff. You know, the best thing you can do is to try to surround yourself with people who are honorable, but they're few and far between, man. Which is why I'm all, this is one of the huge motivations in doing these videos. I try to connect with like honorable people. Because it's so hard to find honorable people just out in the world, just walking around and meeting people. But how do you get other people to be honorable? What was the specific question? It was, how do we induce commitment in other people? I don't know. I mean, you can show by example is I think the best chance of it working. Because you can make people like follow commitments. But that means the second you're not there and make them do it, they stop. The only way to get any real progress there is to show the example and have them kind of come along with you. But they have to make the choice.  It's like freaking out. I wish there was a button. You can just be like, there's the button you'll follow through with all your commitments now. But like most people are just like, well, I meant it when I said it, I just, now that it's actually time to do it, I just don't feel like it. I hate that. You get, oh no, that's it. That's the answer. Just all the people start strangling all the people who don't follow through with their commitments. Pretty soon all dishonorable people will be done. But that's the kind of solution a robot will come up with. This is why AI has such a problem. Because a robot, when asked that question, will be like, well, just lop off the head of anyone who doesn't follow through with a comment. Just, shh. I'm done. Ones and zeros, the end, move on. Maybe we're really wrong. Well, the thing is, there's always like the logical answer. And then there's like what you can do. Which unfortunately are far apart right now. Two people asked what has happened to your cool work boat. Oh. What do you mean the black boat? The shark slicer. Well, he's just kind of sitting there. I cleaned it off a bunch, like a couple weeks ago. You know, I'm planning what I want to put some things on it and change some things. I want to renovate it and make it super cool. And then I want to start using it for more trips again. Because I have some trips I want to do with the cargo boat for some things. So it's in my current list of things I'm kind of on. It's not like top priority thing right now. Right. But I did start working on a little bit here and there. Some people are asking in regards to the plan scraping video about what you plan to do with your mats. Oh. Did I mention that I was talking about using them for a bridge and though I think. So I still might use them to make a bridge. I think I was looking at them and I have two sections of mast. One that's about 25 feet long, which is like eight meters, almost eight meters. It's around eight meters long. And the other one is how one's only like 15 feet long. Like a little under five meters. So it's still, you know, pretty decent size pieces. And I definitely make one amazing bridge. It's like all of it. But I would use all of it. I'm thinking about using some to build a lumber mill. And then I do still want to build a metal aluminum boat. I really want to do that. I'll get to that. That's not my priority list yet either. I think I'm going to fix up the renovate the shark slice cargo boat before I build another boat. But I could use it, use those parts for that. I don't know. The thing is, there's always future things. There's always so many things that I could use any building material for. At some point I just have to pick something. So I might just use it for the, an amazing bridge. That would last like 40,000 years or something. Wow. Wow. So just using it as a waiting turbine? Actually, there is another. I was thinking about using the long one as a crane. Like the boat for a crane has cables and makes like a big crane. Which I'm thinking about. Cause I think it like lift boats and out of the water and lift cargo in and out. That would be pretty cool. It would be a better use for it I think. Maybe, but the thing is then, a crane is a significant amount of space. Maybe you should build it on small heads. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah. There's so many things. And the thing is, I can probably find ship masks. Like a few years ago, where two sailboats sunk and they were just there for months. Or I could have. Absconded with significant portions of them since they were abandoned at that point. It would have been salvaged deal. But I wasn't ready to deal with anything like that. But in the near future, when I get my shark slicer, a cargo boat, if I come across some sunken sailboat or something, I can go in there and either raise the whole boat or come down and saw the mast off. Well, when it saw like three millimeters through the mast and then come back and take a break, go back down, come back. Or maybe I can make a, make a pump and then I can fancy helmets. Oh, you know, one of our guys makes them. Dad and him have a company in Bermuda that people. They make the dive helmets things, where they use them, you know, they take people, I don't want to say on tours, that's not their, but they go out on the boat for the day. That would be a pretty cool thing to have. I don't know if it's used, it's not. If I was, if I get to actively doing salvage operations of boats and stuff, then it will be worth doing, like making one of those. That would be awesome. Just go down to the bottom and be like, you know, like Nemo in 20,000 these times to see just walking around with my phone. Now, did you read that book or just watch it? I actually read that book.  You don't read it. Yeah, it was when I was like eight years old or something. No, when I was a little kid, I read some books. And then I was at the, eventually one day I said, these freaking people, every sentence, they're trying to get a hidden agenda bolt.  So you read, you read 20,000 books. I read 20,000 books. What other books have you read? I'm sure the list is short. Stephen King book called the Eyes of the Dragon and something like that. That was the last novel that I read. Oh, really? Like 12? Maybe. That's it over a little bit. Yeah, that keeps sliding over. Yeah. I just farted. Oh, Ben. You know, whenever we have movie night, I love it when there's some kind of farting in the movie because the kids just lose their marvels. Even, wait, she's 11, not 12 yet. Even the 11 year old, who's almost 12. She's, you know, kind of prim and proper, but there's fart jokes on the screen last. Like we watched Hotel Trans, she actually picked Hotel, Romania a little while ago, which was like an animated monsters thing.   What, in my lobby? Oh, that was totally the wrong voice. I picked the wrong one. Anyway, and last night we watched Marmaduke, which, which I didn't have high hopes for, but it was actually a decent movie. It could, I think it was going to be, yes, Marmaduke's a dog. The big goofy dog. Big goofy dog. Was it live action or cartoon? Action, they did a pretty good job of animating these dogs. Like they were like talking with their, with their, like, So like real dogs, but they animated them to talk, like the severe or whatever. Like they did a, they did a good enough job that it, I mean, obviously I'm like, okay, that is obviously not really talking like a human, but like they did a pretty good job on it. But yeah, there are two parts where the, where Marmaduke sitting on the bed with his, his owners, his, the husband in white bed, you know, being kind of romantic or whatever. And Marmaduke's just like, wait for it. And then, you know, the, the couple was like, oh, Marmaduke, what did you eat?  That was bad even for me. Oh, guys. Anyway. What was the question? I don't even know. We were talking about books that you'd read. Oh yeah, books that I read. And speed and books that you read. So have you read Kleena's book yet? No. Cause there, But yeah, but I, I haven't been. Maybe you should just read one. The only time I come to your house is like. Maybe I should, nobody should just read it right now. All right, all right. Wait, I had something else I was gonna say, but now you tell me. Well, I asked what books you would read. Wait, wait. Up until. Yeah, I didn't read the actual story. I didn't. Yeah, I've been at my house. Did you just read books? Well, I've been at my house and you've been here. You read the story. I have a nine time. I told her this week I'd do it cause they have no school for the kids. Oh. So, yeah. These guys have all these fancy conversations on the side. Yeah, I know. And I only catch a little bit. Don't we deal with it? Yeah, it's okay. Well, they're responding to you. But delay in the responses. They could make you responsible for the whole rest. That's right. If I go salvage a boat, I could be responsible for the whole wreck. Yeah. Wonderful. Yeah, I got that. Yeah, if there's like, yeah, anyway, I'm not gonna get into details. Apparently, two and a half years. Two and a half years has not read a book in over 20 years. Is that bad? No, that's great. Oh, you know what? Speaking of God Save the Kings, so the queen died Thursday. Queen Elizabeth. Well, I had enough of her anyway. That was kind of weird. Okay. I don't know. So that's not a good idea. I know. I know. But yeah, like, can you imagine like an entire world knowing you for 70 years, like on, you know, like in... I just don't care about royalty. No, but I just, no, no, I mean... No, but you care about royalty. No, but literally to me, it does not matter to me at all. So let me tell you why I know about it. I didn't care about it until I was... But you actually care about that royalty stuff. You love those movies, the stories, and you know the history. I like the stories and the history. You're sitting here trying to tell me a wrong and now you're hitting, yes. I don't care about the people as much as I like the story. Right. Anyway. What is the story? People. What's the story about robots? Yeah, but it's not royalty, typically, that I'm interested in. Like, that's the point. That's cool. Oh, okay. Really? You love that show, the Scooters. I also love other shows that are... All right, all right. Oh, it's fun. So, yeah, anyway. Yeah, hey, we all day. So, okay, that's my point. What I was gonna say is that it's crazy. Thousands of people died the other day. Right, and it's crazy that there's this one...  And then everybody's gonna be sad about it. Don't care at all. And I don't understand that. I care zero percent about that whole thing. Anyway, it's my point. So, yeah, I don't really have any other questions that are on here. They were all just comments about stuff that you were doing. Speak your self-tomator. They showed this comment of questions. As Elsie cares the queen. Yeah. Yeah, the only reason I mentioned it was because there were no other questions on there. They're not really questions. They're things like where people are like... Well, maybe I want to hear it. We got any... Yeah, Murph topi, twice. It's not a big deal. Yeah, I know. Anyway, the only reason I even thought about the queen is just because I saw that comment where it says God saved the king. That's the only reason it popped into my head. So... How is the solar mode going? The solar mode is great. I just drove to town the other day. They're not questions. They're like... Well, let's hear some fancy comments. Oh, speaking of comments. So last week, I was talking about... You know, I'm kind of in the shade here. Last week, I was kind of talking about how it was... You know, feeling a little bit down. Maybe it was last week or the week before it. Whatever. I'm feeling a little bit down about my whole video thing. Like, am I even doing any good here? Even worse. Like, I'm trying to do my best, but... You know, I'm gonna end up coming to the conclusion that I should just do my best thing and not worry about it. But then, this week, someone sent me a... It was an email. It was an email, right? Yeah. It was a very kind email, just... And I don't think it was because of that. It was just good timing. And I don't know how he had been... This guy had been watching my video since he was like 12 years old or something. And now he's like... And he was saying, you know, I had a just... I had a significant impact on him and his life choices and stuff like that. And it was positive. Like, positive influence. Which was great. That was really cool. I haven't gotten one of those messages in a while, but it's really good that it reminds me. Yeah, all this stuff I'm doing is worth it to someone. Right? Yeah. Yeah. An example of, like, somebody's not really a question, but it shows... We have an outside antenna for it. It's just our tower is 15 miles away. Something like that. I mean, we're... Wires and roads and things like that. Like, that's just the deal. You look at the ocean in the middle of the ocean. Well, not in the middle of it. But, yeah. So, for example, Mark W. says, when stressed like you are now, I take three deep breaths in my nose, out my mouth. What does that do, you ask? In my experience, it clears your mind so you're able to see who it really is. I was in a question. I had a question in it, so it pulls it up.  Oh, my God. Yeah. Yes? I get a puzzle. Yeah, okay, can you help me, please? So, like, another one, which is not really a question, it seems to me that these dishonorable people need better role models. I'm glad we have you, Jamie. Also, you're dealing with a little island time mentality when meeting with locals. So, like, that's not really a question. I don't know about island time. Something I can comment on. Okay. The thing is like, dishonorable people, that's the standard way of doing things now. Like, today people live under business ethics, which I went into when I made the movie I made, The Adventure of Liberty. And just the standard way of thinking today is to think with business ethics and, you know, be greedy and that's an accepted thing. If you're greedy and take as much as you can, well, that was a good business decision. You know, a good way. And people get padded on the back for a lot, all that kind of stuff. And it's just so accepted to be dishonorable. Like, if you make plans somewhere and meet with someone, it's not considered unusual at all where people just not show up. Yeah. Anything. Just not show up. Like, just, just all the time.   I think it's just, and the same things are just presumed to be biased, which is a terrible state of affairs. It's all horrible. Like, it has nothing to do with being on an island or being, whatever, it's just our society today. We are collectively accepting this garbage. Like, we're accepting a lower standard of honor amongst ourselves, which I don't accept, which makes it difficult to deal with. Sorry, where are you going? So I think this is something that you would like to comment on this conversation they're having about because I think this, this comment and this comment, I think you might like. The version of the, oh. Okay. The queen is the version of the Kardashians. I still don't know what this Kardashian thing is. Right. That's not the point. They exploit and get rich off unmoving nations, which they colonize and the people celebrate this. Yeah. I'm pretty thoroughly dissented with like kings and queens of royalty in general. Most of those places had nicer than any occupiers. They were nicer occupiers than I know. Oh man. Okay. There's so many things unpacked. Yeah, we'll start. Okay. This comment about, so the English went in over places that had nothing. Right. I see this all the time here. So there are native people living in this area who have nothing to do with money. And Gringo's went in with money and give them money and give them jobs and say, well, I'm good for these people. I'm giving them jobs, which they didn't have before. So now they have phones. And now the younger generation is moving away from some effing paradise, who live in crappy little apartments in cities. And they have no idea what they're giving up because these people, these come in with all this money and flashy stuff and look at my phone and my computer and my motorboat and they're just saying, oh, so much. We have all this stuff and you have nothing. You have nothing. Nothing I do to you makes your life better.  It's just looking down on people and the Gringo's talk about the local people in the most demeaning way. They just call them workers. They're not people. They just call them, this is my workers. These are my workers. Those are my workers. That's workers. It's this whole underclass of people who are just called workers. What happens when you get these people who have more technology or are more advanced in some very specific way who go to a country that doesn't have that stuff? So if I'm in a country, we've developed tanks and we roll into a country that has not developed tanks, well, we can just do whatever because we've got tanks and we can look at them and say, well, you pathetic people have nothing.   So people around here, the old people, the old people who talk tons of stuff about the plants that are local to here. Like, I was walking around one of my properties a while ago with a guy who's like 70 years old. And he's like, this is medicine right here and this is medicine. And we're just going to look at all these different plants and he's telling me all this stuff. There's no way I could possibly process it all because I don't, it's just a pile of crazy looking tropical trees and plants. But he knows all this stuff that I don't know and none of the gringos know and this is useful stuff. It's not, it's way more valuable than having a frigging cell phone.  That's the first thing they want. I need to get money to get a cell phone. They don't have anywhere to charge it.  And it's so frustrating seeing though, it was coming from this rich society where they pretend everything is in amazing. We come from heaven and going into these places where it's more primitive and saying, and we have everything. But when I lived in the United States, when I lived in Canada, I did not see happy people. I saw people who are kind of accepting permanent depression. Be people of what you can with and yeah, go ahead. They've been going on for a little while and they're like, I need to go on about this. Okay. So I think that there's a question that's going on that I think you would also like to come up with and that is like some of one fan on one side that's saying how if people don't conquer other, bring big, just spheres basically. But like within a society- You don't have to conquer people. Okay, that's not the right word. No, that's what it is. Okay, so we're giving, go ahead. I think we need to figure out what I'm trying. Okay, let me- Going back to the- See. I know what I want to say about this. Go ahead. Okay. So I think what would be interesting to comment on is that this one person stands on the side is that if a society is left on its own without outside interference, they will never develop more. Which is not true. Which is not true, but also doesn't make sense. But go ahead. Right. And so, and the other person's standing on the other side saying, right, that's not true. And then the person saying, what's going on in the trees? But the thing is, is that people are all people. So like you're everybody's intelligence amongst all types of people. Like- There's an important point that people are mis- You're not either making the most of it and just forcing everyone to be the same or having everyone live in the trees isolated. It's not one or the other. It is, and this is the problem I see around here, is just trying to explain about what's coming out and saying our society is the best, your society has nothing. And this was the comment that was up there. England won and conquered people who had nothing. So wiping out all the value of that society and replacing it with just the same thing. Anytime you connect with another society, you should be learning something from them. You should teach them and learn something. It's not about crushing one or crushing the other or picking which one you want. It's about taking what's the best out of both and making something better. This is why I don't understand how people don't get the concept. Until I think about the way that, yeah, you don't understand me right now. Until I think about the way we're taught in school where everything is a concept. It's my team, my team wins or that is it. Don't cooperate. And this is why one country is another country. Whether it's with bombs or financially or with condescension, whatever.  And it's one of the things that they shouldn't. We shouldn't figure out what's best about because if I, as the gringo, accept that you have something of value, well then that diminishes me.  So here's a perfect example. So in Africa, have nothing. They don't even have their wells or, well, I mean now there's all this more technology being shoved in there. But there's a lot of areas in Africa very, very little technology and very little industry. And people look at that and say, oh, those downtrodden people, they're horrible. And one of the huge negative consequences of this is the people there believe it. And they're doing it in life.  We'll just sit here and be, and just ask for charity. We've got our way of life. But there's this hugely important concept. And I'm sure people have heard this word, bantu. Do you know what ubantu means? There's no translation in English. And this is something that, you know, when we, bantu, taking that word and adopting it, it translates as, I am because we are. So I am happy because we are happy. I am sad because we are sad. It basically means that what you do to the world, you do to yourself. Like you are, we are all connected. And in the city where I grew up, we learned that everyone's out themselves. You know, everyone fends for themselves. You've got to beat everyone else. There's a constant fight to get to the top. And cooperation is just something that's like, you know, it's like a little bit wouldn't be told to do whatever, really. Unless, you know, it's like some kid game. Or if we're cooperating with our team against the other team, but our team can't cooperate. There's always got to be some competition and us against them, always us against them. But your concept like, it erases that whole thing. It says, wait, wait, wait, wait, we can't win if they lose.  We either all win or we all lose. And this is one of those pieces of culture you know, people with technology and say, well, that's not technology. It's not money. I can't sell it. I can't package and ship it off and make money out of it.  And like I was saying earlier, like about living and what to eat. Like one of the huge problems is people don't know what they should be eating. Healthy, they can't take care of themselves. They don't know what, like medicine is something you get in the bottom. And healthy means you go to the doctor. But that's not really healthy.  There's all this medical stuff. They don't make money off healthy people.   But a little more primitive society, you'll find that people understand much better what you should eat, the kind of things you should eat. What is this? And like this seven year old guy who was talking to the, a while ago, well, this is medicine here. This is medicine here.  And he's telling me all this stuff that he knows. And while he's just thinking all of this knowledge is just disappearing. And this, in his society, the society where he grew up, everyone knows this. Everyone talks about it.  Like he's like, well, this is good for this. This plan is good for that. Anyway, so I've just been going on for like half an hour about this. But the basic, the basic thing here is when a high-tech society goes to a lower technology is a place that's more primitive. You don't have to, you don't have to erase that lower, that more primitive society. You don't have to make them be what you are. At least since like the culture where I grew up, we did, we do not have it figured out. We are a mess. Health-wise, we are a disaster. We have amazing technological marvels. I can communicate with like someone on the other side of the planet. But like, health-wise, I mean like, you know, the rate in the United States and in Canada and Europe is terrible. And in a lot of primitive people are much healthier anyway. We don't need to take society and crush the other one or have that one crush the other one. We should be learning from each other and taking the best of it. The problem is, if money from it, our culture won't accept it. Which is why I kind of left that culture behind because we lose so much with that kind of thinking. Oh, video stream is a bit choppy. Is it better than it was before? Question, did you see, I sent you about hemp. There's so much you can do with it. I did see the link, I haven't looked at it yet, but I, you know, I lived in Vermont for a while, which is a big weed place. And I've been told many things about hemp. But I'll look at it after the video. Stephen, would you agree to this phrase? Okay, let's see what this phrase is. Would I, would I agree to this? If I am not willing for your help, don't encourage your help onto me. Yes, I would agree with that. I might be living hap, or I might be happy living a simple life with our technology, modern journalism. Yeah, I mean, so in life, I've learned that forcing or giving people help is often one of the most destructive things you can do to another person. Particularly, oh, video is great, but audio is very poor. I don't know. Anyway, one of the worst things you can do to another person, and I've made videos about this where I talked about it before, but basically, when you see someone who's struggling, you just give them, it's like giving them a pass. Like here's some money, just don't worry about this. Here's some money, it'll fix you. They keep skipping the obstacle. Now, there are certain circumstances where a person literally can't get through an obstacle, and maybe they need help, but a lot of circumstances, people will learn more, gain more, and just get so much more strength by facing the struggle they're dealing with, and by coming along and saying, oh, well, something in my society that can just skip over that, here you go. It makes it so they don't, and it makes it so they don't need to learn to then prosper in the future, is you just gave them a free pass, a bunch of stuff where they could have learned. And another problem is, it comes back to more rare tech societies visiting a lot of tech society. So like a place we'll visit, like an area that has subsistence farming.  Oh, the odd copy. Sorry, man. I don't know what I'm talking about. But anyway, like a high tech person will go to a place where people are farming, and they'll say, well, I've got extra money, let's start a charity, and we can help you people by giving you money. And you can take the money and just go buy food. You don't have to eat real food. Well, within a year or two, those people lose the ability to grow food. And now you've made them dependent on your health, on your child. And they're not people anymore. They've lost their life. They've lost their livelihood. They've lost their purpose in their days. Just this whole idea that higher techs are the best and lower tech societies have nothing to offer is just really insane. I understand why people still think that.  Or even places that you just see on TV, or when people go playing, and look at places real quick and say, oh, look at those drowned people who aren't real people. They're just like kind of things that I can talk about when I go home and say, oh, I help these people with my cherry and pat yourself on the back when you really send them backwards. All right. Hey, what are you doing to Shane and Gips? Video's great, audio's very poor. I don't know what I'm saying. Oh, that's terrible. Opportunity to this monarchy here in the United Kingdom. Yeah. Oh, it's gonna be starting on monarchy, man. Oh. Just like, I think that for humans to progress into the future, we have to get rid of the idea that one human should rule another human. You just need to totally get rid of that idea because when people can rule other people and equal lives, it makes it so one bad person can make a huge impact in the world. So you get one bad leader, send an entire society down the toilet. I mean, that's just one of the problems. Yeah, I mean, yeah. What's going on? Oh, nothing, it was just throwing out lunch for the kids. I feel this way, shaping my food forest at the moment. Oh, you're shaping a food forest? Yeah, she is.  Yeah, hands-on and doing stuff with yourself.  Just two days ago, well, I was about to say, I harvested some bananas, but the banana tree got so heavy that it actually fell over. 150 bananas, like, I can't even show how big it was within the screen. It was, I had to use both hands to pick up this giant thing of bananas. It was the most banana I've ever seen on a tree. Anyway, I picked up those bananas and man, they're just amazing.  You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Yeah, when you grow your own stuff, isn't it? No, it's done. Is that any better? Our resolution was set to go high. Somebody's fired from leaving. Oh, you're welcome to handle it in the future. Oh, stop. Well, maybe I will. Great. Let's see. All right, we've just lowered the video resolution. Hopefully that improves things. My body is re-sign branches and working in the garden for the last two weeks, working physically so hard for so long, but seeing the potential is so uplifting. Okay, Karina, doesn't your body, like, also still amazing when you're like sore from, like, hard work that you've done for, like, good purposes? Like, doesn't it, doesn't it all look good? I know, to me, like, I always, whenever my muscles are sore from doing some kind of good work that's been improving my life, it's just, like, this constant reminder that I've done this stuff that's fine. Banana bread, yeah, there may be some. So far, six bananas ripened this morning and we ate them. Oh, my God, they're so delicious. Oh, so good. Oh, such good bananas. And yeah, I need to bring some over here and the tricky thing about bananas, I got so many bananas at once and in, like, a week, like, like, so we're just gonna have to go crazy eating them. Oh, I should make some banana chips. Like, dry out a bunch. If I get a, if I get, I'm gonna dry out some bananas and make banana chips. Oh, that sounds amazing. I should totally, Oh, so how are you? Oh, I'm good. Oh, things are good? Yeah. Oh. I need chili for lunch. Is it with the beans that had bugs in them? Oh, I washed them. Oh, good, so you got the bugs. I mean, I washed them. Oh, I'm gonna preserve the beans. You got the bugs out? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have that giant thing of the giant. We need to plan when to open that. I have a huge can of tomato paste. What's that, like, a can of tomato paste for something? Whenever I open one of those, you know, I kind of have to plan what I'm gonna do with it. Usually I have like an enormous pot of chili and I give some to you and, yeah. I think nobody has any questions today. Yeah. Maybe we have nothing to talk about. Okay. Maybe I just turned everyone off when I was on and on about societies and the queen and cultures and stuff. Did I tap my fart machine? Did I tap my fart machine? Although I've been thinking about it more because people keep asking me, oh, hey, classic dude, Mike, I have a question for you. How is your fart machine going?  And classic dude, Mike, made one. And how is it going? Like, do you use it to cook? What do you use it for? And like, how often? How much do you use it? How often does it run out or whatever? I'd love to hear how that's going. You should also ask Karina about her food for us. I want to know, wait, where's Karina? Karina. Oh yeah, Scotland. I know she's in Scotland. What kind of plants is Karina growing? What kind of plants do you have in your food for Karina? I'd like to hear that. A bolognese, the other week, all from, oh, I want to stuff. I'll saw this later this week. So many tomatoes. Oh, I wish I got it. Tomatoes are sort of hard to grow here because it's very wet and then tomatoes get too wet. Although I'm working on it. I'm thinking of making a covered roof thing so I can grow tomatoes without getting so much. Is it a fanned mind that... I just wanted to know if that's fine. Is it a fanned mind that buzzing noise? No, it's just in your... I think it's fine. Yeah, probably. If we had a freezer, we could make more food at once. Oh yeah, that's why I have to plant the tomato paste thing ahead of that because we don't have refrigeration. So I've got to do something that's going to, you can't get it to be a stuff, right? Yeah, it's fine. Yeah? So Dan is saying to use neighbor filters and sandwich-sized bananas should be dehydrated. For home furnaces, I don't even know those. I'm probably going to lay them out on a sheet of stainless steel and maybe put like netting over it. I don't know though. I'll have to think about it. I'll have to see. It might be okay just out. I think if it's out in the baking sun, the flies might stay off them. What about the ants? Well, the ants, I've got a special trick. Do you know what? I mean, what's your special trick? You said no. So I'm going to tell you. I did this bucket down something and then put a plastic bag over that.  And then up of that.  Like you gotta have it so that, like I guess so the bag isn't like touching the bucket of the box, just walk up, walk up and then down the plastic bag and then around the edge. Cause that's hard to get a right when you're and get up.  They, yeah. I would do like steady them for like hours. No, I put out some mangoes, came back and I was like, ah, there's a few ants on there. Oh, what can I do? Maybe they won't like climbing up the plastic bag cause getting around the edge of the plastic bag it would be hard for an ant. Wouldn't it? So I tried and yeah, zero ants. That's how I dried all those mangoes a few times when we got hundreds of mangoes that went in here. That's cool. I got hardly anywhere. Yeah, I'm going to put them because the kids really like them. Here goes nothing. Do I, is this something I should read? Oh yeah, I want to. Oh, did you read it? I did. Oh, okay. Yep, Dana. Oh, that's Frederick. He's fine. Miss Dee's video. Her steroid group bricked for her new home. I still didn't manage to watch the video but it's, my total, how's it going so far? Oh, it's going good. Dana came over yesterday and said, well, before she came over how hard would it be to make me a styrofoam grinder?  I asked you and you made the option and you said, would you like to build yourself or would you like?  Which is really funny because you know what? I was thinking. All right, all right. Anyway. Oh, so I can't respond to that. Oh, come on. I was thinking, oh, if I make it, if he makes something or I make something and I make a styrofoam here then I don't have to use the like battery electricity at the news house. I can just use the direct electricity here to when it's available and I don't have to bother Jamie much. Okay, so you radioed me and said. Oh, look, Alex is trying to talk to you. Some version of Jamie build the styrofoam grinder. Somehow that was communicated in some way. I don't know how it was, but somehow I got the idea that I needed to build a styrofoam grinder. Maybe, maybe sort of possible. Maybe it might be a good idea if I go. So you know how I'm always collecting that junk, the junk all the time.  And you're like, why, why do you want this junk? Like an hour later, I had a styrofoam grinder. I didn't have to store anything. I just went in my pile. Not even a pile. It's actually two hours. It's actually organized. No, I didn't start right away. It's a pretty, it's pretty well organized. You know, it's on shelves and stuff. I was just making a joke. Anyway, I made your own styrofoam grinder. But you, it's my stuff. I'm coming over and doing it with you. You said would you help me to help you make it? Or do you want me to just make one? I wanted it finished that week. So I just did it. Oh, I thought you just did it so that you could tell everybody how. You weren't supposed to think of what I just said. Anyway, you have a grinder now. So you can do it. It's cool, I'm excited to use it. Anytime you want. Yeah. It's not a bug sucker. It's the baby's sleeping fan. Yeah, it's right now that he's asleep and we keep a fan blowing on her. I think, well, partial fan keeps her cool and the noise like kind of drowns out me. Yeah. I'm talking real loud right now. Yeah. I want to know, did the audio improve at all? Nobody said anything about it. Oh, no one's complaining about it. It must be better. Right. J-mo, I remember, wait, I remember you said. They just want to know if you grow back in school. Once you want to get all the big, we'll be, I don't think it's going to happen although it may have a bug that sucks flies up and kills them. No, this is a fly off and that means it'll, it means it'll fly. Things the wrong way. No, I'm not going to make a robot that flies. If I make something, I'll be like a dedicated flying machine.  Hold on, hold on. I do want to build a giant robot. I've actually been thinking about more about that about the design I want to do. I'm going to have to build a prototype of the design. Anyway, what did Frederick say? He said, In my country, they boost cotton wool around fruit trees and insects get their little feet tangled in the fibers and can't crawl up them. I actually did that pipe that goes to my water tank because ants were going up it and going into the, and I tied a piece of plastic bagger on it and they don't, but yeah, cotton. Okay, classic dude Mike, he was talking about his poop machine, the method producer. He says, it works.  Does he like put in a bowl and he did. Get it together. Maybe, maybe you should tell people when you're going to do that. Did you say I'm about to turn off the audio to do some settings? Yeah, I said we'll be right back. Oh, I didn't hear that at all. I was like in the middle of talking. You were at the end of something. You're right. I don't know what's going on. Okay, what about this? I was actually in the middle of the sentence, a day worth of production. You were literally just asking questions. I was literally, oh God, can you stop? A day's worth of production gets you a minute burn on high flame. I have to check the bread. So you bring a 12-volt tire pump and compress it into a propane tank. So every day you get 15 minutes of high flame on your cookie. So his methane machine is totally working. Whoa, man. It's like raining inside and you can probably see this is blowing. Man, it is storming out there. No water's blowing. So don't, actually the wind feels kind of good. Okay, he was, the audio is a bit jumpy. Hopefully we just fixed the setting that helped. Dude, your adventure club video game is pretty hard. Oh, good. I kept getting blown up like crazy. Oh, we'll just keep trying.  It might take a little practice, but my 10-year-old's actually good at it and she doesn't play that often. Video game quality is awesome today. Sound is okay, but choppy. I'd rather have the audio good than the video. Stopping, pulsating the pause button behind your back might help.  Oh, okay. Does that work any better? Sorry, we just got, now everyone's saying guest star link. That was a joke, yeah. All right, hopefully that's working better. Storm is going through is why the audio is not so good. I don't know if it's a storm or if it's just, I mean, just the internet. I don't know what's going on.  It's so complicated and it works sort of, you know? I don't know. Oh, someone says it's better. So I just reduced the resolution on the video a little more. So maybe that does help. I guess we could always spring for the, the higher, what's it? Faster internet. If we get faster internet, it's like another $80 or something. No, it's only $40. No, it's only $40. Yeah, we get faster internet for $40 a month. I think for the most part it's, I hardly ever use the internet as a thing. So it works fine for uploading my videos. Okay. People are saying the video and the audio is amazing right now. So we should just use these settings all the time. Chop is completely gone. Thanks. So 640 by 480 is the video. And then the audio is 32,000 for the bitrate. So, how's everyone else doing today? So how many videos did you upload this week? One. Just one? Is this the honor one? Yeah, I didn't even have any of those. Like, I wanted them to think about, you know, the philosophical, you know, not just be, I'm already with videos that are like kind of similar. So it's just based on more. Yeah, do I have any other ones besides those ones? Oh, wait, no, dad bod. Oh, I put up dad bod this week? Yeah. Oh, did anyone have any comments about that one? Yeah, they did. That one was kind of silly. There was no questions about them. There was all just commentary. So Mike here is talking about the farm machine, you know, the methane producing thing. And a lot of people are using plastic bags to hold the methane.  So I really like the idea of like an overflow tank. So like as the air pressure builds up the gas pressure, it pushes the sludge through a tube into a second tank that rises. And that liquid level being higher than this one is the pressure that pushes back on the gas. And that has no moving parts other than the goo itself. Yeah, we totally lost our light, didn't we? We had to reopen a window thing. Man, look at those dark clouds. We're gonna get storming soon. It's storming kind of now, but it's gonna get even more.  I just need to get the pipe and put it. I have to go over there. I'm just looking at what you're asking. Farm machine, the higher the caloric value of what you put in it, the more farts you get. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Yeah, the comments at bad were like... So do you know what's the point of dead? You didn't watch it? Yes. You don't watch my videos, do you? Not generally.  So Doug, McLeod, McLeod, McLeod. McLeod? McLeod? McLeod. McLeod. McLeod. McLeod. McLeod. Sorry, Doug. You would be a terrible Highlander McLeod. It would be, it's true. I remember doing the same things with our daughters. Oh, yeah.  Insano says, walkers do help getting around easier. You should give them a chance. Thank you. Walkers. Jamie, it's raining in Northeastern USA. Also, please consider building an aircraft. I do want to build an aircraft. I want to build a ground effect airplane. I don't need to fly high up. I just want to zoom around just over the water. Maybe I make it so I can get higher, but I don't really care about that much. My four-year-old says he wants to build an airplane too. When I get there. Well, you are in the right place because you can learn how to build an airplane here. Gary says, can we chew over at the Lama-Portito Old Folks' home at six for dinner? Oh, did they have a free meal? I'll go anywhere for a free meal. Jim's Equipment says, yeah, it's funny how that works. When you stop doing stuff, you get round. I did get a taste of that myself a couple years ago though. I broke my back and it took me about two years before I could lift anything over 30 pounds. Yeah. When I got injured from this idiot track coaches, I should have just quit the team as soon as I knew what was going on. It took years to get back to 100%. That was frustrating. And a good lesson to learn. We've been nice to learn that one, not the hard way, no? Then somebody resorted for the ABCs of Honor. When people ask for help, it's because of two reasons, skills or strength or both. When it's skill-based and the person asking often has no idea how much organization and effort help sometimes takes. We're going to step them through the whole process when they ask and also be prepared to say no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well, when people ask for help, they usually don't want help, they just want you to do it. And I mean, occasionally people actually want help and want to learn something. And I'm always happy to teach someone how to do something, but you can only teach someone to do something if they're actually committed to learning it.   So it's just like this. So I guess it fills up and maybe you put some rocks on top to keep the pressure and then you have a tube coming out the top, I guess. Yeah, that makes sense.  It's awesome when your four-year-old or any of the kids gives their input into the chat. They amaze me how at their age they actually think instead of repeat what they learned. Yeah, they have not learned to just do what they're told. I totally teach them to like be imaginative and try to do things. You know what you could use maybe for the collecting the gas is that- It's collected in the thing. Or whatever these people were talking about with like separating it. Do you stop this? No, it's just something to store it that you can put weight on that'll push it back out. But the way mine and yours is the main big tank is where the gas is stored. And as the gas builds up, it builds up pressure and pushes the sludge down out into another thing. And that's why you have the secondary tank that fills up. So the gas is stored under pressure in the big, the big main tank. So as you use it, this will come back down. Yeah, but it is stored in there. Okay, cool. And the point is to have it stored in there. Smaller, okay. Mike's smaller drum has a ball valve mounted on it. Plastic hose from ball valve goes to an air mattress to collect gas. Oh, so he's just taking the gas right out of it. Yeah. I would want to do it where it's stored in the solid pieces, not into a gas thing. Ostracized, what's ostracized? Probably what I was just talking about. I didn't know. All right. Are we ready to go to lunch? Oh yeah. I think we're out of questions. Now I'm just talking about silliness and, maybe we got our audio and video, right? Yeah, maybe. Maybe, maybe. All right, let's go have some lunch. All right. Maybe. This guy's been off grid in the UK for three years and he's getting kicked off his land by the man. Sucks here.  It's really bad there. The rules are horrible. Like even, yeah. At least of all the places I know of that I know the rules of the country, the UK is the worst. All right, let's go have some lunch. Okay. Okay. Bye everyone. Have some lunch and I guess we'll see you next week. I'll try to make some good videos. Okay, bye. Oh yeah, I'm gonna push the button. Come here, I want to push the button. That's right.
