Collin 00:05
Welcome to Oh brother, a podcast where we try to figure it all out your hosts, Brandon, and column on this week's show. What is the French get
00:16
it? Oh, Hawaii.
00:18
Oh, hooray. Pretty good. Oh, I think so.
Brandon 00:26
Oh, no, never No 100% For sure
00:35
yeah, you know
Collin 00:39
Great Bear. Bear good.
Brandon 00:42
Oh, yeah. How do you How are you?
Collin 00:45
I am we're in the like the Cree allergy season where I'm start getting those days where when it's not rainy, but it's windy. The algae start to pick up but then it gets rainy and damp and they go back down. getting me ready for the haven't
01:03
had a watch. Haven't had a lot of not rainy days here. Bear.
Brandon 01:08
I don't really know what that's about. Well, yeah,
Collin 01:12
this is why it's the pre it's like it's like revving the engine of like getting ready for just full blown allergy season once the rains kind of go away and get more infrequent and then the winds pick up and then pollens just driven anywhere. And then I'm coughing not because of like the cold but now I'm coughing because of the pollen and it's just, oh, I can't wait for another sniffle season. It's just like, I've got four of them. Now these years like as I've gotten older, it's like it used to just be summer, right? It just used to be summer and like wet. And like late summer ragweed. Now, just like each season has new things that my body's like. I would rather not this be there. And so it's just one like continual loop of like sniffling and hacking and coughing my way throughout the year.
Brandon 01:59
But is kind of inconvenient. Right? It's also really annoying how your body goes like, oh, yeah, we've seen this before. But we're allergic to it now. Like, wait,
02:09
wait, what do you mean? Maybe now it was fine
Brandon 02:12
before? Like, what is what is this?
Collin 02:15
What if it's trying to kill us now? I don't know. i There's no way to know. And so
Brandon 02:22
yeah, Susan says she's never really had allergies until the past couple years. And I was like, what? First of all, that seems unfair. Sorry about that. And I don't know if I'll use a contagious My bad.
02:37
Sorry.
Collin 02:40
That's good. No. Megan's the same way where she was like, what, like, what are allergies? Like she had nothing. And then within the last five years, she's been like, is this is are these allergies? Like, is this what I'm experiencing now? And I'm like, yeah.
02:58
Sorry. You found them? Yeah.
02:59
No, they found you.
03:02
True. Where they are
03:04
that it is quite bad currently.
Brandon 03:05
I don't know if I shared this anecdote here. Sorry, listeners. Welcome new listeners who haven't heard this before. There's a truck that's been like parked out at the end of our street, kind of near the woods, kind of like in the shade down there. And nice and sketchy. Yeah, totally fine. But it's like black. Right. And so if he just hasn't moved, it's like a new it's like a like rest. It doesn't look good. nappy. probably fine. But like, it's there's so much pollen on it. It looks like kind of like yellow. Uh huh. Right. I'm just like, wow, trees. Thanks for that. I don't know what
03:45
So, yeah, there's a lot of
Brandon 03:48
like, extra you, I guess. Turn going around trying to get you. Oh,
Collin 03:52
yeah. Now it's been really. So. Of course, I'm onboarding and training a new employee. So I'm like sniffling and hacking my way through my, my Perfex and stuff. Like, probably not contagious. But pardon me why Sunnis have really abused a lot of confidence when I'm over here, like, Hold on just a second.
04:23
Oh, give me a minute.
Brandon 04:25
What did I get into here? What is going on?
04:32
I've been getting a lot of spam phone calls. No, no the worst.
Collin 04:38
To our business lines specifically. It's been fantastic. So we use for our business. We use a we have a separate business number than we go through Google Voice to make this happen. So it's an app that we download to our phone and you pay a base rate each month. It's like $6 a month and then then you pay on top of that forever and many minutes that you use. And it rings through the app and both Megan and I have it on our phone. So we can text clients or potential clients and receive phone calls. It works fine, right? For months, when our when our quote unquote business line is less than $15. I'm like, okay, like, this is hard to be given
Brandon 05:19
how much we use the sub.
Collin 05:22
But they were going through a period where their spam filter was just like, not working at all.
Brandon 05:29
And they, they, they focus too much on updating your ranking Google homepage, a Google homepage, that white page with a logo on it. A really a it's new, a lot of what a lot of work with that, like it's still white.
Collin 05:45
Yes, well, apparently, after they finished that they were updating that then they went back to understanding their spam filtering because the last like three days, it's been really good. So the story kind of checks out if we're being perfectly honest. But I it comes up you know, it says spam and every now and then I'll still pick up an answer it because I'm because it has marked things as spam before where they were actually not. And so I may pick up every now and it just a random I am. And here is how this conversation usually goes. Actually, this one just happened today where they say, Hi, we are a marketing agency and can get you in contact with a someone to audit your Google My Business listing to verify it has everything. So a it doesn't get suspended, and be you can make contact with your clients that you want. Let me ask you a question. Have you been getting the kind of phone calls you want for your business? And that today, I said, You know what, I actually have not been getting the kind of phone calls. It's it's been they've been just different recently. And they go, Oh, well, that's what we help with and why we're here. Tell me more. You know, I've actually been getting a lot of more spam phone calls from people like you who are wasting my time. And look, I am constantly reminded of just how marketers ruin everything, it's just because once they find something that works, they will wring every last dollar out of that they, they hold on to these methods and like just don't care. It's like, it's like using the buffalo, right? And in the Great Plains of like, they just keep hunting them and hunting until there's nothing left. And unfortunately, what that does, is it ruins those methods for everybody else, where it's like I was, you know, I'm an artisanal marketer, and from my tiny, teeny business. And I actually do like using that method, but I can't anymore because everybody hates it now because of you. So like, yeah, the other thing that happened is I get messages on my LinkedIn profile. This is a new hell that I've discovered. Because I was in there recently to update it because I met that guy at the networking of contact. So because there was like a little blip in activity on my profile, I asked my inbox not flooded, okay, cuz I'm not whatever. But like, I've gotten way more contacts of people saying, like, Hey, I work with so and so. But it's been really bad, especially because marketers, again, ruin everything. And a lot of marketers are lazy. And so what they've been doing now is because they're having to do so many cold contacts and so many cold calls, they are resorting to using chat GPT, to use their to give their scripts for what they want to say to people. And so, right and I want to be, I want to listen, I want you to hear what I received today ready? We specialize in regulatory pathways and commercialization slash reimbursement for diagnostics. We've been doing this for over a decade, and we'd love to talk to you more about bracket, name of company here in the bracket and where you're at, let me know if you're free in the next few days for a call.
09:33
First off,
Collin 09:35
none of the first sentence makes any sense to me. It's just like word salad, right like nationalizing regulatory pathways and commercialization slash reimbursement for diagnostics. Those
Brandon 09:47
aren't, that's not a real thing. You can't convince me that's a real thing.
Collin 09:52
And then second, the second question one where it says we'd love to talk to you more about bracket in certainty of
Brandon 09:58
Colombia. They forgot to, they forgot to
10:03
control
Brandon 10:05
that right and forgot to paste your name here.
10:09
And see the thing is,
Collin 10:10
we use chat GPT to like, think of things and brainstorm ideas and like come up with things. But then we go and we change it and we make it our own. And we
Brandon 10:21
rewrite some words. Yeah, right, right.
Collin 10:26
And sometimes if you're, if you'll say, like, a, give me an example of something like this, and it will, that's how I recognize this, because it'll spit out this, this word vomit. And it'll just use like, bracket, your name, bracket, the company bracket, and like address, like bracket and phone number, like, that's what it spits back out at people. And so this person is a friending. And following people on LinkedIn, and then immediately going in, and messaging them with this kind of thing. And I.
11:01
So I, like how I, there's
Collin 11:05
a lot of things in my day that I don't love that I have to do. But like, I am so glad that I do not have to resort to that kind of thing for my job, because that's terrible. That's actually bad.
11:23
And it's just like, lazy, and bad. And, again, because
Brandon 11:32
the only goal ever is to make as much money as possible. The ends be darned Right? Like, just do whatever race do whatever, you know, cares, as long as you make like $20 billion. Because that will make you happier person, right? There you go. Boom, dead. Like what?
11:53
guac? Stop?
Collin 11:58
Yes, exactly. This is where they have to, they have to bring everything out. Because if they don't, the next person might. Right this is the this is the tragedy of the commons thing. Oh, yeah. Just circled all back to that. If I don't fully exploit and rape and pillage this, the next person will and they'll get more than I will. So I got to do it. While I'm here. You
Brandon 12:23
have to do it. Now the French might get it. Right. Oh, that's what happens when you the British Empire. You're like, we have to take over all this land. Because what if the French get it instead? Oh, no. That's what
Collin 12:40
this is the mentality of every marketer. What if the French get it like this? Oh, no, they not think this way. And there are whole marketing courses and things like that out there. And you can go and get coached into this and and have people talk to you about how to do this appropriately, and how many how you make as many contacts and what that means. And you know, I'm just like, I can't like this. This hurts me so bad. The and it's always they've got a script. And they always they won't deviate from this and the other to the aim. Of the other two calls. I've been getting one. Hi, this is Jonathan with insert random name of company here. That's just a made up thing for this purpose. We are partnering with insert name of local somewhat like mid to lower tier golf course that you may have heard of.
13:40
We are developing their digital scorecard app and
Collin 13:47
where people can because people don't use scorecards anymore. There's an app that people download to go golfing here, where they can keep a record of all their things. And we are doing now we are reaching out to local companies who to be showcased on this and want to know if you were interested. Okay. My first question is like, where how far out do people drive? Because here's the thing. Now, that's a question that unless they understand my business, they think this is a good thing. They think, Oh, see, we attract people from 50 miles away.
Brandon 14:31
You're too far, bro. Like, five.
Collin 14:36
And here's the other thing. I said 12. And I know these golf courses that they're going to and I'm like, these aren't that great. Like I don't know. So I said, is that a for this golf course. Is that like a national average? And oh, well, this is a national average for golf courses. So what people with exit surveys from golf courses will say that they drove to go to that golf course. And I'm
14:59
like Okay, so like
Collin 15:05
Myrtle Beach Golf Course like sure people drive in over 50 miles to go to that
Brandon 15:09
random Missouri golf course.
15:12
Now, now it's Oh, I love this.
Brandon 15:18
Yeah. regional city golf club. No, they're driving eight miles to get here. Yeah, we're not going to like Pebble Beach. Or like Augusta Augusta might have to dig really, really deep. Think of Golf Course Name Check.
Collin 15:35
Do I see I said Myrtle Beach. And I met my brain was thinking pebble Pebble Beach. Anyway, but yeah, but yeah, yeah. Like this, is it? No, like, this is not this isn't happening. And then I, you know, explain what we do. And this is not going to be a good fit. And because they don't have any local data, they can't retort and say, well, actually, it's eight miles, right? They can't, they can't do that, because they have no information. And so it's completely pointless and futile. And then the other one that we've been getting hit hard with is some random insurance agent guy. And this is how these they train this bank of telemarketers to say this. Hi, I'm calling on behalf of whatever Mark Stevens insurance. Are you the owner of the business? More and more that they asked, Are you the owner, the business? And so I say, Hi, I'm Colin. And they'll go, Are you the owner of the business? And then I was like, Who are you with? Right? Because I don't want them to know that I know. And I know, yeah. Right. And they'll say I with Mark Stevens insurance agent, and he wanted me to call local business never hurts to ask about their insurance. And so So, of course, I just I just thought I just Obfuscate. I don't answer the questions. I'm like, where's Mark located? In the key services, he's licensed to service you? Like, oh, it's
16:54
not a quest? That's not an answer, buddy.
Collin 16:56
Kind of good here. You know, I really try and drill down. And then, you know, they want to know, like, do you currently have insurance? Are you under insured? Or what kind are you using? And then they're like, are you using Blue Cross Aetna or nothing? Because they they're trying to throw out to get you to just say something. Right? And then I thank you for your time, you're wasting your time over here. But I you know, good luck.
Brandon 17:22
The card is blue. Because all medical insurance cards have a blue on them. calming color for when you're distressed in the hospital. And you just want a routine doctor visit. And immediately before the nurse the payment lady comes in and says this payment is going to be $600 to pay now or bill later, like lady
17:49
like me in the emergency room.
Brandon 17:50
Can you like come back later? Like I don't know. Like what? Besides European listeners, this is how American health care functions. Right? Like before the antastic is you know, buddy complaint lady shows up, right? I think it's only like, through awkward when she comes in because sometimes it's like serious and she's like, so anyway. Oh, yeah, money you owe us for the stuff that we haven't done yet. But we will do soon. Maybe, you
Collin 18:22
know, when Lillian was learning to walk, she was walking up the steps that are at our old apartment in Arlington. And they were like this, um, if somebody took that pea gravel. Oh, yeah, I
Brandon 18:35
remember I'm reading.
Collin 18:36
Yeah. And she slipped and fell and like, yeah, it was terrible. And I'm sitting there with my daughter who's bleeding out of her mouth and they're like, so do you have insurance? Are you gonna be paying on a car so
18:48
it's like women get out of my face right? How
18:51
many can you stop Can you stop the bleeding before
Brandon 18:53
you come back? Maybe like you you were to efficient lady
Collin 18:58
there's still that line on the floor here kicking let me use your receipt to mop up the black line just let me get that Yeah,
Brandon 19:06
appreciate those European friends. That's a good that's just the best visualization of the American hospital system using the receipt from the bill as a wound filler right and bleeding into Gesell hopefully, this will make do as gauze for a moment let me show ya was put this hospital receipt in here bla are the Norwegians are going oh my gosh, this is horrible. Right? This is why they're not gonna sleep at night. They're gonna be the most traumatizing story they've ever heard in my life.
Collin 19:42
Oh, yeah. So you know, I'm on the phone with this lady and I'm driving and I'm like, oh, okay, well, anyway, you have a wonderful day Dolores and by then, and I'm just I'm just yeah, I'm like, everything's awful. Like I this is not like I get More more phone calls from people trying to sell me insurance marketing on a random golf courses, scorecard app. And I can't then now And now, please read them Google My Business Marketing auditors that wants I just And again, sometimes it's because like sometimes they catch them sometimes they don't sometimes it shoves them into Oh yeah, older and it's like, so if it's spam, and I'm really busy, I'm not going to actually answer it, but then I do answer it cuz I'm like, what's going on? Like, what? Let me just touch base to be infuriated for a moment because I need to get my blood pressure up more. And oh, yeah, no, you need that. Right. Yeah, no, I really know. Yeah, feel alive. Need to see, to see sounds and hear colors. Rage. Like, oh, no, like, right? These, these people are actually the worst like I understand. Right? Okay. Well, my biases have been affirmed. And I'm gonna go back into my hole and cover up.
21:13
Notoriously, I believe I said once on this show that golf is not a sport. And so I want to may have said that the his,
Brandon 21:21
it is springtime. And so the golfers are about right there all over the place. I drive back to drive by the golfers on the way to and from work. So they're out there. Right. They're out in full force. And I think I've pinned on why golf annoys me a lot. Okay, so other people in other parts of the world, I need to know, here, you need to know my context for this, right. So here's why I have a problem with golf. Right? Golf is marketed as this like, prestigious,
21:58
elite event, right? You see,
Brandon 22:03
you know, golf on television, like there's like a dress code. And you have to do certain things. And there's like decorum and whatnot, right?
22:15
So we have this background, filtered through Missouri rednecks. Right? This is it's
Brandon 22:25
a weird, the golf course is a weird place because that's where these two worlds collide. Full Force in Missouri. Right? We have like, the, the legend pristineness of golf, right? The historic background, you know, Scotland, whatever, that one's got his golf course. The one the famous one with the stuff. And you have all that. And then you have like, just like basically John Daly, right. That kind of exemplifies the other half of the golf. So he's from Arkansas, but you know, whatever, close enough. Like just like rednecky shenanigans, and nonsense it those two worlds meet on golf courses in Missouri. And it's just weird. Like, it's like, nobody really just like really strange duality. Because like in Missouri, it just ends up with like, a lot of the times. It's not all the time, but like, a lot of times what you'll see is like a whole bunch of rich dudes in their friends. Drunk golfing,
23:31
and you're like, what? I don't? What's going on? Uh huh.
Collin 23:38
Because it's also this weird like, it is an aspirational sport because of that, like it is viewed as being fancy. This is what the fancy lads and lasses do.
Brandon 23:49
Yeah, but it's, it's like the same way that a lot of people in rural Missouri think fancy means like,
23:54
Red Lobster.
Collin 23:57
This is this is exactly where I was going with this, actually is as I was saying those words, I envisioned, like getting all dressed up to go to Red Lobster. Like it is it's it's very, like, it is weird of the how people are like, Oh, I'm I'm golfing and that's meant to in some parts of the world that's meant to bring up
Brandon 24:22
the status, the upper echelon, like yeah, this thing like golf clubs and things like that. Yeah. But in this neck of the woods. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm all for I'm all for like, people, right? I'm all for like egalitarianism, right? The municipal Golf Club is the way to go right? The like private golf clubs are hoity toity and weird, right? Like, the fact that the like, the same stigma applies to just like, the local municipal Golf Club is kind of weird, right? People treat it like it's like this. Just really Like sacred thing, you're like, brothers a jogging path on the god like, What
25:06
are you talking?
Collin 25:09
I don't this is this is exclusive to no one right everybody Yeah,
25:17
so this is owned by
Brandon 25:17
the city you can literally just go here like it doesn't matter. He just has this weird dichotomy all the time and it just bothers me. Like it annoys me. I guess I bothers. So I don't think about it too much. So when I'm driving by, and you see, like, people out, and they're like, it's just weird when you look at the golf course or driving by because, like one group
25:44
will be like proper golf attire. Right?
Brandon 25:50
You could see them even like seven in the morning, right? They're out there. Oh, yeah. They're in their golf attire. Right. And then like, you know, a couple holes over got, dude, there's definitely not sleeves on his shirt. Right. And those are I think those are jorts. Okay, like, that's what?
Collin 26:11
Yeah, there's definitely and Jared. Throw on the same course. Nothing
Brandon 26:15
wrong with that. I think anybody should be allowed to play golf. But like, it's just so weird that everyone holds it up to this like just super high elite thing. And it's very clearly not just a hobby that people do. It's just like, nobody thinks that way about like bowling or they're like, oh my god, except for the South Koreans. We learned in that sport movie that we watched. But like, that's, it's just so weird to me that people talk about it like this. And then like, what people I think I think what annoys me the most is like, what the way that people talk about golf. And what I see about golf, are not matching. Right? Like there's just, there's just this giant disconnect. Right? Okay, I'm just gonna assume people talking about golf. Like they've never been to Missouri and they don't know what's happening with their beloved game or whatever. Again, I'm sorry, Scotland. It's not gone. Well. Apologize. But like Yes. Yeah, we
Collin 27:21
are definitely crafting a legacy of our own using you're using your your gift to us. So St.
Brandon 27:28
Andrews. That's the Scottish golf course. There we go. Deep in my brain for that one. Wow.
27:36
Good hole. Yes,
Brandon 27:42
I go. The other the other thing that I thought about in your conversation, we were talking about word salad. Oh, yeah. That we've been doing a lot of research recently. Because my
27:53
final science
Brandon 27:54
side project is like making a video about science facts. Because the internet is so full of bad science videos. Through rings. Yes, that's naturally. That's led me to watching people that like, talk about how the Earth is flat and things like this. You know, I,
Collin 28:12
I was just functioning just on a horrible thing, formerly known as Twitter. And they post somebody posted a video of it. Okay, another problematic person or whatever. But like Elon Musk was launching a rocket, and they followed it all the way up. And all right, like, blue explosion. Did you see this? And people were like, he broke through the dome.
28:34
Yeah, nothing like it. He just
28:36
hit the dome. I don't know why there's my like, it just,
28:39
I just watched this video.
Brandon 28:44
But this is a common feature, right? They
28:45
say a lot of words. And you're like, yes, those are words. And those are it's like that's, that is science vocabulary. But you don't really use those words together. In a sentence.
Brandon 29:01
That's not how this works is I've gone down very many rabbit holes. I had no idea that people don't believe gravity's real. And oh, yeah, yeah, I know that geographies not real. I
Collin 29:13
mean,
29:14
I
Collin 29:16
have a lot of questions. Yeah.
Brandon 29:17
It's very strange. Like, part of the like, one question I always have is, they always say, you know, well, you know, they're hiding this, like, who are they? Who are they? And why would they make up gravity to lie to you? Like, what? What is the end goal? Why would they do that?
Collin 29:40
What do you think they're wanting? Right? How?
29:43
Like, what is the point of this?
Collin 29:46
Let's, let's just assume Okay, let's go with you for a minute. This is their grand plan. They have finally figured out how, but like, why, why why would they do that
29:57
to what a
Brandon 30:00
Again, I think I missed this couple it like these people were like really mad at like the secret shadow government and they think the secret shadow government is not do is bad. Yes, guys, you can just be annoyed at the real government that has they can be doing this terrible, terrible enough. It's bad enough, right they they should all they should just be doing better. You can be mad at that. Like there's not like a secret mad thing. It's just it's like the wackiest stuff right like everyone's well, you're just like, Oh man it can't get any wackier than this. And then yesterday,
30:34
I watched a guy
Brandon 30:37
well, actually, I watched a response video to a guy because I couldn't get myself to watch the actual video because it was too bad. But like,
30:43
he was talking about all the animals that the government is faking. Did you know birds? anacondas are not real. Okay, so see, this is new to me.
Collin 30:55
I knew birds. I knew birds. Yeah, you know,
Brandon 30:57
I know. You know? Well, I mean, I guess on the list was not birds right? I guess unless you miscue count penguin penguin scenario. The other one that was hilarious. Oh, giant anteaters clearly vague. You're like I think his ever I think he's only evidence was they look weird. Like Well, yeah, but like them does it? I mean, they do. funny looking but like, it's not. Oh, koalas also on the list. Top 10 list of animals that are not real. All koalas are CGI, which is very interesting, because I have definitely a koala before,
31:40
look at
Collin 31:42
your Koala deepstream here, but this is what they do. Right? They feed this information to unsuspecting people so that it perpetuates, because I haven't so I have to take your word for this.
Brandon 31:52
And I did. His name was Victor. He was very adorable.
Collin 31:56
Did you drink or eat anything prior to this going into the koala not not for several hours because Ah, okay, so, so Okay, so could have been a delayed result of the hallucinogenic drug thinking. This is Yeah, I
Brandon 32:09
think we're right. Yeah. Like there was lots of quality there. And I definitely pet one.
32:13
And it was adorable. Certainly She, at least, you know, I
Brandon 32:17
mean, allegedly because illegible a lot of them think Australia is not real. And I was definitely there.
32:22
So like, there's no big big big
Collin 32:26
time Australia apologist over Yeah. Wow. Wow, how much they paid you to say that. But
Brandon 32:32
I can certainly say my favorite part is a lot of these not a lot of things. But there are a couple of Flat Earthers who are Australian. And you're like, who's going to tell him that other people don't think you're real?
32:47
No. Trapped in the bots. Oh,
Brandon 32:51
yeah. Cuz like, some people think Australia is fake. And then like, these are the people are Australian. You're like, oh, oh, you agree on all we've lost that. But
33:02
we're left with one we're so do.
Brandon 33:04
Yeah, we there's one big glaring issue here.
Collin 33:08
Just you can't possibly, you can't possibly be here because you're not real.
Brandon 33:14
Excuse me? Oh, no. This is what it reminded me of when you were talking about the word salad because that's what those videos have. Like, they just say things.
33:23
And you're like, I mean, those are words that you can use. Right? But
Collin 33:32
not in that order. That's
33:37
right, so. Okay,
Brandon 33:39
so never before has somebody so clearly not grasped the concept of science before like, you were close there for a minute, and then you just just lost the plot. Like I really, really know.
Collin 33:54
What are we trying hard?
Brandon 33:56
It's amazing. Yeah, sometimes you're like, Oh, you were almost there. You're almost there. And sometimes you they say things you're like, Wait, that that means that can only work if there is a club Hold on.
34:09
That doesn't shave it
Brandon 34:12
was no hobby hobby recently. So a bit of watching Man, because we just happens when we're, that's my final science project is we're shooting a video about like factual science. So it could be like something that we studied throughout the year.
34:26
Or like something else right? But that
Brandon 34:31
that's led me to research some of these like the bad ones and Oh, my days there.
34:37
Ouch. Like I
Collin 34:42
only i The ones I really liked the ones about like, the pyramids.
34:48
And oh man,
Collin 34:50
right like what they're there for and everything. There's one going around. Joe Rogan just did an interview with a guy Who
35:03
thinks that the purpose
Collin 35:05
of the Great Pyramid of Giza was to be a hydrogen collector? For energy production?
35:14
I've heard this. Okay. And
Collin 35:18
it's, it's fantastic. It really is like, like, there are there are some the problem, there are some of these conspiracy that you go down and you're like, okay, like, I can suspend belief, like just enough to buy into this like, sure. Like,
Brandon 35:37
I always say one more thing. You go, oh, no,
Collin 35:40
no, as soon as he was like, the shafts that go to the Queen's chambers are the exact dimensions necessary to capture wild hydrogen? You're like, oh, okay, I'm, I'm, I'm out, first of all, you know? And basically, their whole purpose is to be a giant hydrogen microwave, to? Yeah, it's make energy and like, store it somewhere. And you're like, what way they're like saying, but here's the thing, like, what were they using it for? Like, that's never discussed? How are they transmitting it? What else was like, there's a whole lot of missing piece missing pieces here, buddy, let alone sentences like, and it was filled with some chemical to assist in the production of this. And what was the chemical? Well, we don't exactly know
Brandon 36:36
anything about chemicals. They leave traces, in places that they have been. And even like, you know, mundane chemicals, like, you know, water water, which is a chemical, by the way. Technically, right? Yeah. And so like, it's like, you can find it, you can find evidence that it was there. And if you're like, oh, there was a chemical, you have any evidence of anything abnormal? No, no. Well, that's probably to put this to you, as
Collin 37:13
well. And that was the thing of like, he was claiming that all these things were like, filled with water and such. And it was like, Okay, well, water definitely leaves traces of minerals behind, and then you would be able to find water lines, if these were filled with water for the hundreds of years that you claim that they were like, that's not something that just
37:33
goes into deposits, like merchant built up or whatever. Yeah, like you got it. So
37:39
no, it's, it's, they're so fun
Collin 37:43
to like to.
37:45
Yes. Well, I
Brandon 37:45
also think that a lot of these people think that the great pyramids are the only pyramids that exist. Because they always talk about, like, how good they are. And like how well they're built. And then, like, if you would literally just like, pan the camera around. Other pyramids in Egypt, like,
Collin 38:08
it's wonderful. Oh,
Brandon 38:11
no, you couldn't look at them and you just go like, there is a pyramid called the Bent Pyramid.
38:19
Okay, I'm just gonna throw that out there.
Brandon 38:23
Like that. The Bent Pyramid exists? Uh huh. Okay, there's a lot of pyramids that are built with the angles are like wrong, and they've just like fallen over. Right? They just collapsed. Right? Like the Red Pyramid. And like, all these other ones, like, they're just like, they're like, a little too steep. Or they're like, you can see, you can see what's happening, right? You can watch them like playing with angles, like trying to find the correct angles to like, build it high enough. So it's cool. But like, you know, so don't want to be like real squad wide, and then try to build that high. So if they want to build high, how big does the base have to be like, you
39:02
can sort of look at a learning process.
Brandon 39:06
Right? Because you have like the bid pyramid. Basically, they were like, Oh, that's too steep. And then they had to like, like short. Course rather one. Yeah, other ones have collapsed. And you know, they'll say like, there's there's a very clear progression of like, experimenting with building pyramids. And then like, then you do a couple that are like really good, and then use go, okay, that, but more, boom, this is like, this is just sort of how engineering works. Right? Like this is not a mystery. So like, the fact that you're not acknowledging that the pyramid exists. Right? Like the Pyramid of Djoser is a thing. Look at it. Tell me, tell me what it's like. It's so they're like, I don't know.
40:02
Well, right, like, yeah,
Brandon 40:06
there was another one I was there's some guy on I'm not going to remember his name. And if it was, I would not give him any publicity whatsoever. But they'll like read things. And they're like, as it says in you know, this, they like to quote like the oldest thing possible. So like they talk a lot about Mesopotamia too, right? And not saying that I'm a Mesopotamia expert, but I dabble, right? And they'll say things like, well, in this myth, blah, blah, blah. And I'm going like,
40:34
wait, I read that one. What are you talking about?
Brandon 40:42
Right, like the presupposition is that you haven't read it. So they can just like say things about it. Right? Because clearly, you haven't read, you know, just some random, Mesopotamian myth Ray? Until they just be like, oh, yeah, well, it says here, it talks about this, blah, blah, blah, like,
41:02
oh, wait, it
Brandon 41:06
doesn't I have full on I have a little book right here. And I like Ha, like, Yeah, is it kind of the reading the translations is hard. And there's always some missing texts and stuff, right. And sometimes you're reading it, just say, like, 20 lines missing, it's been a clay tablet, what you can do like to go in and be like, Yes, I'll just fill in whatever I want to in these 20. You know, and how disingenuous you gotta be well,
Collin 41:37
and what that person's probably doing is they probably read a discussion, or they've watched a conference on the tablet. And there was some speculation about other kinds of things, or other pieces of literature that may have been about this thing. And that, who knows that that may be the transition from one piece to another. And like, there's a lot of speculation, especially around older documents. So what they're probably remembering the
Brandon 42:09
older mythology, because it's weird, right? Like, it's very odd,
Collin 42:13
what they're probably remembering or thinking about is a discourse or a discussion or a presentation that included the possibility of something because it was seen somewhere else, and how that might fill in the gaps on the stack. That's actually what they're doing, or somebody's exegesis of a particular text and the way they interpret it, so they're, they're, they're pulling in secondary and tertiary sources, and then attributing them to the original. And I mean, that's really dangerous. Because when they kind of do the, the, you'll it's the like, the Oh, the the yada yada yada, like, I want to just summarize this for you. And you're like, wait a minute, like that's pulled off? Yeah, that's
Brandon 43:01
strange, right? Like, there's a lot of like, sort of surrounding background information that's kind of important for understanding some of those stories, right? Like, you need, like the cosmology of Mesopotamia is really weird. And because it was around so long, and there's like, actually, Mesopotamia is like, six groups of people for a long period of time, like, it's a little because like, it's the Greek Roman problem, but like, multiplied by five, where it's like, is it the same God? It does the same thing. It's different name though. It's in a different area. And it has slightly different traits, right? Like, it's like, yeah, Jupiter Zeus thing, right? Like that. But now do that with Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, the Assyrians, right? Like it gets a little messy.
Collin 43:51
Over Yeah, over a very long period of time, across multiple, you know, text sources
Brandon 43:58
and all sorts of areas and through different lenses, right, of even perspective, from that time, right? Because, like the UK, even the Acadians, in the Babylonians, they're not looking at things through the same lens, because they have their own unique cultural background and things like that, right. But they're using these stories are already like, partly established stories to tell other things. And so it's like, a little messy. And again, the it's also a lot of just like, classic mythology of like, well, they're using these gods and things to explain natural events,
44:35
right, like, you know, these kind of things.
Brandon 44:38
That's kind of what the stories are about, like, that's a very Greek thing, right? We think about the Greeks do that, like all the time, like a lot of Greek myths are like, Oh, didn't you know that's why this happens? Because Zeus did a bad right like, Oops, yeah. Oh, no, he did the thing. Like, it's like that, but we have a very direct connect. shouldn t like Greek mythology, because like a lot of our language comes from there, right? Like, we're talking about this in class too. So like, you know, like a rack need, like the myth of Iraqi right that that's where the root arachnid comes from for spider. Right? There's like this straight line connection to that. The connection to the Mesopotamian one is like, way messy, and it's missing 20 lines. So like, you can't you can't trust people that are like, Oh, yes, well, clearly what they actually meant was
45:39
Aliens. Like, okay, bro, hold
Collin 45:42
on, hold on with me here.
45:44
Let me tell you about this. Walk you through real quick telling me that the reason the wheel was invented was alien aliens? No, it
Brandon 45:57
was actually kind of an accident. Because the Miss samians I like to think it was like they use it to make pottery. That's what they have in the wheel for pottery making. And then, in my head canon, is unofficial listeners, not peer reviewed. They were trying to move the pottery wheel. And they like rolled it. They're like, hold on a minute.
46:20
I got an idea, Steve, do that again.
Brandon 46:27
Good to move it to the new workshops and like, hold on. This is brilliant.
Collin 46:36
But you're right, like this is it's the exact kind of thing where it's like the situations, untold things happen all the time. And so to think that, I think that there's just like, No, there's only one way that this could actually come about. It's like no, like there's an infinite and I'm not okay, not infinite, yes, by and large. But there's a very large explanation for this that really is going to help. That doesn't involve aliens. Okay. Like if we feel like we've gotten to aliens at this point, we have lost the threat like that's, we can't continually assume that this is why we are purifying Yeah,
Brandon 47:13
it's very lazy historical representation. Right? It does two things. It doesn't give credit to ancient people for being more clever, like, then you give them credit for right there. Because what you have to remember is these are you just 6000 years ago, right? Like, it's the homosapien person. So they're, they're very clever, they have all of the ability to do things that you do. They just don't have electricity, right? Like,
47:45
so you're not giving the
Brandon 47:48
people's credit for the thing, the cool stuff that they did. It's like really neat. And also, it's lazy, because you're like, Ah, I can't possibly think of a way to do it. If I can't think of it must be aliens, obviously. So like you're giving yourself too much credit. And the ancient people way, not enough.
Collin 48:10
Right? Well, you know, and that was because you're like, oh, clearly, I'm
Brandon 48:13
more clever than you. Like
48:14
what do you know about cuttings, blocks? Whatever,
Brandon 48:18
doesn't that ever, like an expert like you are not,
48:23
I don't
Collin 48:26
say in the discussion on that podcast, the same guy who was talking about how the Pyramid of Giza was a hydrogens of things. I mean, he was also talking about how there is carved pottery that is, or vases that are way too symmetrical. To have been carved. In a normal sense, like so they therefore must have had access to way more advanced technology than we have today. Like,
48:57
like, perhaps a wheel. Well,
49:00
I was like, I was like,
Collin 49:02
but they had been what if what if it was a civilization who had been Oh, I don't know. Carving stone for millennia. Like, yeah, I don't know. Like, they're probably better at that than we are because we're out of practice. Right? Like we there are lost parts. Like there's just they just are, were they more advanced stone carvers? Yes, I will give you that. They were much better at you than carving stone. And me too. Yeah. So to say, well, there's no way because we aren't good at carving stone. There couldn't be a carving step good at carving stone. So therefore aliens. Yeah,
Brandon 49:38
I think that's the most annoying part is the fallacy argument of like, well, I can't figure out how to do it. So it must be impossible. Like
49:49
no, like,
Brandon 49:50
we I talked about that class. Sometimes. I'm like, I don't know how to build a car.
49:57
Did aliens build my car?
Brandon 50:02
Right. No, that's like, Yeah,
Collin 50:04
clearly those aliens in in Detroit.
Brandon 50:08
Yeah. Right. They did that. And they just put it all together and it just magic. That's not really. It's just so ridiculous. And also I yeah, I just it just it hurts me, like the level of thought that people don't put into this conversation of like, oh my gosh, like it's impossible to cut granite like,
50:28
clearly no, because they did it. And
Brandon 50:31
I'm looking at it. So like, I don't know if the bagging around, because it happens. And like, yeah, they, you know, they're just like, oh, because you can't cut granite with copper. Copper is too soft, you know, copper is pretty soft. If only there was a readily available, abrasive nearby that could be used an abrasive that was, I don't know, maybe had high amounts of silica in it. And silica is really strong and it can abrade really quickly and, and cut through really hard materials like granite. Now we even use this material in modern machines to cut and polish things. To bad the Egyptians couldn't possibly have access to sand, Dan. Wade of Midway.
Collin 51:25
And on that they were like, I know, they're led discussions that like, well, they had copper. Surely that's not strong enough. And we'll go okay. Okay, fine. Let's say that they, it was not strong enough. Let's look at Oh, I don't know, other metals that they may have had access to. IE, like, all of the weaponry and stuff that were made from, I don't know, meteorites that we have in like, there's meteoric iron, and like, that they had, and it's going, yeah, they couldn't have used altijd. Like they couldn't have, you know, like, it's a you're telling me that they were unable to up try and apply some of the same things that they worked with copper, so well to these meteors and done something with those tools. And like,
52:10
yeah, again, who you
Brandon 52:11
are, I know what they did. They had copper. And they had a lot of like, right? Like, this is not like a scarce resource. They didn't have a lot of other things. But they had a lot of cover. And conveniently, they also had a ton of gold, so they could just buy other stuff.
Collin 52:32
And people were like, well, you can't find the, the drills, like we've never found one of these drills like Well, yeah. How many do you think they have? Like? Yeah, it's
Brandon 52:44
not like they don't have like, it's not like a modern workshop where there's like, 1000 of them. Yeah. You know, they're probably like two and they'd use them all down, because they would have worn down. I mean, I'm not saying they didn't, but like, they you able to use it and it was gone. They're gonna throw it away was half done. Yeah. Right, then, once they've built the thing. Don't
Collin 53:04
need it. Any more machines. Yeah,
53:07
that's true.
Brandon 53:08
So you get down to down into something else.
Collin 53:10
Yeah, like, right, you know,
Brandon 53:11
recycling. You know, and the other thing too, like you when you don't you don't give credit. I think people underestimate. Like, the trade network that was happening. Oh, yeah.
53:23
I mean, just like, No, I mean, it was though, how fast it was, how vast
Brandon 53:29
it really was. Because, you know, you think about like, Egypt, right? You think like, oh, they were only in the Nile River Valley.
53:38
Um, about that, like, like, we know that, like, it's factual that
Brandon 53:47
they were talking to and communicating and going to like Mesopotamia right. We know that.
53:54
Like, the, we know that they would they have bronze.
Brandon 54:00
Later. Right. And we know that Egyptians most favorite decorative stone is Lapis. Right? It's all over the place in their decorations. They use it for stuff, right? They This means use the to write for the care of decoration and stuff like that. And a lot of the Lapis is not from Egypt. It's not from Mesopotamia it's from Afghanistan.
54:27
Right. Like that's like the largest
Brandon 54:32
lapis mines ever. And even the ancient Levers is coming from Afghanistan. Right, a lot of the tin that they're mixing and smelting with the copper to make bronze later on, is coming from Afghanistan. And like Pakistan over close to India, right. So this is already we're seeing like vast trade networks appearing. You know, like before Alex center decided to go crazy and do our stuff, right? Like several 1000 years later. This is happening. And it's like, it's right there. Like it's it. You just look at it Egyptian, anything like, oh, look, there's blue rock in it. I wonder what that could be? Yep. Boom.
55:20
That's what it is. Like, if this is coming from so far away, oh, clearly,
Brandon 55:29
we are very interconnected. We have a lot of trade happening, which also means we're trading but stay together class. Information done done. I
Collin 55:42
know people don't talk to one another. Nicholas.
55:44
Yeah, right.
Brandon 55:48
There is a very large, like ancient global trade network happening that again, we're not giving him credit for because we're just being like,
55:55
Oh, it must be relieved.
Collin 56:03
So I'm glad you're so you're you do a deep dive on these things so that you can have this students review them or
56:09
Oh, no, I was just like,
Brandon 56:12
I just sort of like got stuck in this rabbit hole. Because I was like thinking about this. And we were talking, we talked in class about misinformation, and like, bad science. And like that sort of like these come up, because Google is listening to me. And then I'm watching. All of a sudden, I'm watching
56:31
videos about this.
Brandon 56:35
So yeah, that's how I'm doing my hobby recently. That's
56:38
good. Okay.
Brandon 56:42
Yeah, my other hobby. Going to Salvadori bakery.
Collin 56:51
Currently, okay. Okay. So this is, do we need an intervention already? Because it
Brandon 56:56
seems like it's fine. It's fine. It's okay. Everything's fine. They posted they sold that stuff again today. So it's going well. Wow. It's good time. Yeah.
Collin 57:13
So you have you have you have been supporting local this week. Yeah. So how has it gone? What's been like? Well, so
Brandon 57:24
the rundowns they opened last Saturday, right? So we went away, like, they opened it like 10, I think, for opening day. And we went into 11. And it was like, of zoo because that new were like sold out of a bunch of stuff already. And they were like, all hands on deck for opening day. So it's like very, it's like very family owned thing, right. Like this backstory is like, it's a lot of the recipes are in the original Baker in the house was grandmother, right? Oh, unfortunately, unfortunately, recently passed away. Oh, they have like a video on Facebook of like her and her house and like, and stuff in. In El Salvador, and everything, like her baking in the bakery is like son, right? And then I guess some of his daughter's, I think, and the guy that I talked to you on opening day is fiancee to daughter. And then there is grandson there. So like great grandson of the original grandma lady. Wow. Right. So it's very cool. So we go there. We just, you know, try whatever they have. And then we went like, we didn't have school Monday. So we were like, well, you know, we could just like, go back and see, you know, have something to eat with lunch, right? Today, we were like, we had to go do a bunch of errands after school. We had like, run over to the bank and do some of the stuff and we were like we're gonna drive by so, you know, yeah, yes. multiple tests sample goods, right? Oh, like, yeah, yeah, got a wide variety of things. And that's
Collin 59:18
important too. You know, it's doing your due diligence to make sure that the quality is crossed and and you don't want there to be like a corner of the menu. That's terrible. Like you got to work through it all. Yeah, okay. Exactly.
59:31
I mean, it just makes sense. Yeah. So
Brandon 59:34
like, I don't know what the official names of these are called. But like, the first day I got I see that picture one. I don't know what the red thing is. I need to ask somebody the official name Susan, I think founded at one point, but I forgot. It's like, a lot of the like traditional pastries. They like sweet bread based really, right. So it's like they are sweet pastries, but they are like it's pretty sad. little sweetness, right? So you don't eat it, you know, when you eat like two donuts and you're like, I don't really love, right? This doesn't have that. Which could potentially be proud. Yeah, but the red thing it was like it was just like, dough folded in half, and there's some sort of like, jam something in the middle. And then like just a red crackle crisp thing on the top.
1:00:26
And it's so good.
Brandon 1:00:28
It was delicious. And the other thing is like a, it's just like a little hand pie, but it's pineapple. Filling. Yeah, I think that might be my favorite. So it's just like kind of sweet bread with pineapple in it. And then just like a little glaze. It's like little sugar on the top.
1:00:50
But like real subtle. It's really good. Like, really?
Brandon 1:00:57
Sounds amazing. Yeah. And then we went back. And then we got another pineapple thing. And then like a cookie with like, strawberry on it.
1:01:06
Like strawberry tart. And then the big, the
Brandon 1:01:10
big round circle thing in the picture I sent you, right? It's a big disk. That is like Salvadori in case ADIA is what it is. And it's like, it's like a bread. It's like a pretty dense bread. Almost corn ready? Right? But not quite a bit sweeter than cornbread. And a little denser. doesn't crumble everywhere. And it's got like, a little bit of like cheese in it.
1:01:40
Just a little bit. Or steak. And it is so good. Huh. So that that was kind of my question of, you know, calling it a bakery. But what's the split on the menu?
Collin 1:01:53
Maybe you don't know right now maybe have to go back a few more days to test of like, I think bakery items typically think of like, sweets, and not so much savory. But kind of What's your thought on that?
Brandon 1:02:03
It's a little both. So they have just some like bread rolls. Right? There are some like croissant looking things, but they're real big and poof, I really want one of those too. But so they have some like bread. Like I got like a sesame roll thing.
1:02:17
Excellent. So they have some breads, they have the
Brandon 1:02:23
case idea thing, which is like pretty ready. The they have the more traditional sweets, like the pastries and stuff that are like a sweet bread based thing. And it has some sort of like jam in it or whatever. A lot of pineapple going on. It's like pineapple jam. It's really good. And like, so it's like kind of a sweet, a little bit. And then they have like also, just like, I don't know, these people are wizards. They have like, just cookies that they make. Like more like modern bakery, American style cookie things.
1:02:59
These are dangerous. Because that's what we got today. Did you get the picture I sent you today? I did. Okay, did these look magical? So. So the bottom one,
Brandon 1:03:10
the one with the icing? The black one with icing?
Collin 1:03:13
These look like donuts like BK with as much icing and stuff on them. Yeah,
Brandon 1:03:17
so the black one it's listeners it has like a black crumble on the top and like a little Jewish of icing. That's a cookies and cream. Cookie.
1:03:27
Okay, what it is, is like it's like chocolate chip cookie dough. But
Brandon 1:03:35
I don't really know how to describe it. There's inside this cookie. There isn't Oreo.
1:03:41
I mean, sandwich cookie,
Brandon 1:03:42
legally distinct. So it's like sandwich cookie, some sort of frosting and then it's like wrapped in chocolate chip cookie dough and baked.
1:03:54
Wow. Oh my god. Yeah.
Brandon 1:03:55
And the other one is a smallest. It's literally a little graham cracker with a marshmallow in it. And then okay hovered in chocolate chip cookie dough, and baked and then they put another little marshmallow on the top had melted some chocolate on it.
Collin 1:04:08
So that's what that's what I thought that's what it looked like. To me. It's
1:04:11
like, gosh, like a marshmallow. Yeah,
1:04:14
but they're like, their stuff in the cookie. It's like a cookie situation. And it's incredible. There
Brandon 1:04:23
was like several other ones and so maybe had to go back for those later. But like that was a very hard decision because we got there and they were Today we went to after school
1:04:33
so it was like four and they
Brandon 1:04:36
had like no bread. They had like just a little bit and then cookies. And they didn't even have like so again Wow, this is good. This is good for them. Right?
1:04:48
Yes. Like go like well we have a few cookies
Brandon 1:04:52
and Susan was like that's kind of what we wanted anyway. Very difficult choice about Which, because there was like two other kinds there. Also, so there's four different ones we got to. So, but yeah, it's like, it's like chocolate chip cookie dough, but there's like stuffs jammed inside of it,
1:05:11
huh? Yeah. Oh my god, it's, it's nuts. It's so good.
Brandon 1:05:18
I think the panel thinks that might be my favorite
1:05:27
Well, that's,
Collin 1:05:27
that's good to hear. And I mean, is it? Did they have a big grand opening for this? Or was it more of a soft grand opening? Or I don't know, like, how was it? Has it been? I mean, obviously, if they're running out of product there, it's been. Well, there's
1:05:40
so the
Brandon 1:05:42
cats. It was like, I don't really know the appropriate vernacular here. But like, they had their big grand opening day, last Saturday. And then like, next this weekend, or next week, at some point, they have like the official ribbon cutting with like, the Chamber of Commerce and all that stuff. Right? Yeah, but they did just like, day one, that Saturday. They were like, Nope, we're open now. So that was kind of like their big day. They had like a big thing. They had like, stuff. I think there was like, door prizes for the first like 20 people in the door or something like that. So it was a pretty big grand opening. So then they started like halfway through their day. So they Yeah, it was a pretty big like, nope, here we go plan. So

Brandon 1:07:56
also have the other thing. The other thing I had one small note. A date. 12 year old mystery has been solved. Right. This is the wildest thing ever. Right? So a lot of time ago. Like for when I first I worked at a school, right? We're relatively close with this, like Hispanic family. Right? And so, you know, mom and sister and brother everything and
1:08:27
and so
Brandon 1:08:28
they just like, invited us to
1:08:32
their uncle's wedding. It was like the first
Brandon 1:08:37
like, Mexican event I was ever invited to
1:08:40
was like this wedding. Right? It was kind of weird. Because
Brandon 1:08:45
they were the kid was just like, yeah, the kids were like, he's kind of our uncle's wedding. And mom was like, yeah, totally fine. Whatever. Right? This was confusing to us. This is before we realized that when there is a Mexican party, literally everyone shows up. And it's just like, I think like, wow. Like, they're just like, hello, welcome. Here's a very friendly, right. But we didn't know this was real strange. until like, we had no idea who these people were. Until we watched his wedding. Oh, I don't know who the bride and groom are.
1:09:20
No idea. Right. Fantastic.
Brandon 1:09:23
Kind of funny. But like, there's a lot of kids from school there and their parents. And so we're just like, you know, chilling and talking stuff.
1:09:30
And so this year in school, I had this kid
Brandon 1:09:36
and where I was talking about the other kid, and he's like, oh, yeah, that's my cousin. And I was like, hold on. I finally found it. I dug through my photo albums. Oh, and I have the picture that we took of the bride and groom at this wedding. And I took it to school, and I was like, yo, hey, come here. I have a weird question for you. Is this your mom and dad? And he's like, Yeah, like
1:10:16
that is wild. Wow.
Brandon 1:10:21
Because I thought it might be him. Like a while ago, I just couldn't find his picture. Like it was somewhere in a photo album, right? Because I've talked to him before.
1:10:28
I was like, wait.
Brandon 1:10:32
I was like, I think I have this crazy statement. But I think I may have been at your parents wedding. And he was like, let's because like, we were invited by this other kid and his mom, and he was like,
1:10:45
Oh, that's my cousin. So
Brandon 1:10:48
maybe. And so I found this picture, finally, and I took it to school today. And I showed him and he was like,
1:10:54
