0:01

I have been on kick. I know we talked last week

0:03

about 3d printing about me like, you

0:06

know, starting to 3d print stuff. But

0:09

I feel like I've fallen down a deep

0:12

cave of just oh yeah, and I

0:14

could. Oh yeah, and I could. No,

0:17

print trays, sub trays. I

0:20

am modeling and printing every little

0:23

thing I can think of. I don't know. It's

0:25

funny. I'm sure it'll fade. But right now. What's

0:28

your printer of choice right now? I

0:31

have two that I'm using a lot.

0:33

I have the bamboo labs x1 carbon,

0:36

which is a really multicolor one.

0:39

It does. Yeah, it can have like four. Yeah,

0:41

four in at the same time. It's

0:44

a really impressive printer. But

0:47

I also am using the Prusa XL

0:49

a lot. The one I

0:51

have the one I bought is a single color. So

0:54

you know, I use them for different things. But

0:56

the XL is huge. Like you

0:58

can print it's I don't know, 400

1:01

millimeters cubed. So it's a giant volume

1:03

where you can just print some huge

1:05

things. Those trays, which I don't have

1:08

one down here, the trays that I was talking about, I

1:10

printed one

1:12

that was the maximum size of

1:14

the bed. And it's just like

1:17

13 inches, you know, by 13

1:19

inches. Perfect print. So

1:21

yeah, those are the two printers that I'm how long does that

1:23

take to do a 13 inch print like that? Well,

1:25

it depends. I mean, that that tray is, you know, the

1:27

bottom of it is a 16th of an inch

1:30

thick surface, and then it's

1:32

a really thin wall up about a half

1:34

inch. So so the building the building

1:37

the platform probably takes the longest. Yeah, for sure.

1:39

Because it's very slow when it's going across to

1:41

make that big, you know, lots of back and

1:43

forth. So I don't

1:45

know, it probably took an hour and a half or something

1:47

to make that. Oh, that's much less than I thought. Yeah,

1:49

it's not bad. Now, the bamboo labs printer that

1:52

I've been using, they intentionally

1:54

make it pretty fast. I

1:56

have not pushed it as fast as some

1:58

people push it because some people will up the speeds and

2:01

it's pretty wild watching

2:03

it go super fast. It's just like,

2:05

sort of loud and you know, back

2:08

and forth. But anyway, so

2:10

I'm printing a whole lot of stuff. I'm still

2:12

doing the resin printing and I saw a video

2:15

the other day of for

2:17

curing where you would throw

2:19

your print and a glass

2:22

jar of water and then

2:24

use a UV

2:26

light on top of that

2:28

and that water does all the refraction science

2:30

stuff and gets all the light where it

2:33

needs to go. So this morning right

2:35

before you showed up, I got 120 watts

2:38

black light UV light that just

2:40

showed up. So I'm going to make my own little

2:43

little carrying stations. Awesome. That's

2:45

wild. Yeah, we did one of those.

2:48

We made a mirrored box. It was inside of a

2:50

cabinet. I remember that. Yeah, mirrors all the way around

2:52

and then put LEDs, the UV LEDs in there. It

2:54

worked out pretty well, but I've never heard of the

2:56

water thing. That's cool. Yeah, look

2:59

it up. It seems it

3:01

helps get the light, the curing

3:03

light into places where like inside

3:05

so it all cures evenly. And

3:08

so I think I'm just going to take a

3:10

bucket and I'm going to line it with foil and

3:12

then throw the glass jar full of water in

3:15

there and then throw that UV light on top

3:17

of it. See how that works. I

3:19

say don't throw the UV light in the bucket

3:21

of water. Yeah, yeah, actually this one does say

3:23

waterproof. I don't know how waterproof it is.

3:26

Let's find out. Yeah. That's

3:29

cool. Well,

3:32

have you guys been printing anything? Have you used

3:34

your printers? I know you both have printers. Well,

3:37

you know, it's funny. Okay. I was going to

3:39

say I just started thinking about printing again because

3:41

I have my, it's right here over my shoulder.

3:43

You can see it. That's the

3:45

tip of it there. That's my form labs. Bob,

3:48

what do you happen to know what that model is? It's

3:50

just like that average model from form three. Is that the

3:52

one you have? That's it. That's exactly.

3:55

I was going to, I just, By

3:59

the way, my video this week. I'm pretty sure is

4:01

gonna be the bell finally after all this time

4:03

the money as of I've been talking about making

4:05

a bell an of animates a for specific reason

4:07

was for be revealed in the video. I

4:09

was requested to make it for ceremony that takes

4:12

place the Saturday saw have some files that's to

4:14

the video to add in some video be published

4:16

some Sunday. On.

4:20

That led me. In. The video I

4:22

sail three or four times casting the bell than

4:24

I get to have. A I tix

4:26

a completely different method which leads me that

4:29

a different path to the font and the

4:31

inscription and after all is said and done

4:33

it lead led me to a passive doing.

4:36

Proper. Bronze casting which are haven't done yet

4:38

but i bought all the supplies to do it's

4:40

and i googled quite a bit. Other

4:43

guys online making it. And

4:45

some people Three, the Prince. In.

4:47

P allay I wonder if the resin printed

4:49

can prince in a particular material that was

4:51

a kid mates. A.

4:54

Bronze Moles which is really a

4:56

shell Molds. So you could

4:58

make, for instance, setting as complicated as

5:00

a human figure. Three. Prince

5:02

It. Or. Make a generation of

5:04

it in wax and then. Make.

5:08

Would essentially amounts to let. A.

5:10

Piece of ceramic around that. Shape.

5:13

So is organic is any said could be. You

5:15

have about an eighth of an inch. Of

5:18

ceramics around it and then when you bake

5:20

it in a kill him. To.

5:23

Curate you are also big yeah the wax or

5:25

the pls. The Prince or

5:27

the West will will take out

5:29

of it and. Or.

5:32

As it in the because of feel some of

5:34

that is designed to like evaporate was probably isn't

5:36

great for your breathing but it's all in the

5:38

kill. Him and his. Leaves

5:40

behind a shell that which you can

5:43

for Molson bronze, a brass and so

5:45

and then it needs to be Chip

5:47

Dos Anjos down that path. I'm.

5:50

Gonna send you a link. There are a cast

5:52

of all residents. but

5:54

here's actually have a son and

5:56

article on foreign labs website about

5:58

the using testable wax resin for

6:01

the formalized printer. So I'm gonna do that. Oh, perfect.

6:03

Thank you very much. I haven't gotten too deep into

6:06

it yet, but it's something I've been thinking about. I

6:08

have a couple of, if you

6:10

guys remember years ago, the fans might remember there

6:12

was a, somebody put forth

6:14

the non-laid, non-laid

6:17

pen challenge, make a pen without using a

6:19

lathe. And I made like a little figurine

6:21

of a guy kind of almost looks like

6:23

Fantasia, you know like the

6:25

brooms of Fantasia with arms and legs. That was my

6:27

inspiration. And I made a little pen out of

6:30

clay. So I'm gonna take one of those original guys that I

6:32

did years ago, so I could use bits and pieces of the

6:34

original video and

6:36

make a mold of it and wax.

6:38

And those are gonna be my first

6:40

examples, my first experiments with this casting,

6:42

this new casting technique. Cause it's small

6:44

enough, it's kind of ties to the

6:46

old school, but then from there I'm gonna go to a

6:48

3D prints. So that's gonna be an upcoming video. So I

6:51

haven't 3D printed, but not

6:53

lately, but I'm thinking about it for this particular reason.

6:56

And by the way, I made two versions of the

6:58

bell. One came

7:00

out okay, and then the guy

7:02

who challenged me on this is

7:05

Mike. And years ago, Chaco

7:07

did a video called The Millionaire

7:09

Machinist. And that's our friend

7:11

Mike, Mike Dubno. And Mike challenged me

7:13

for this particular bell

7:16

that is for this ceremony. And

7:19

I made one, I go, I think I did it. He looked at

7:21

it, he goes, okay, cool. He goes, try and make another one. I'm

7:24

like, I don't know. In

7:27

one day- What's your problem, man? He

7:31

goes, this one's good. He goes, let's see if you can get it

7:33

better. My light just burned out. And I

7:35

was like, okay. So in one day, and

7:38

you'll see this in the video, in two days

7:40

I made exactly what took

7:43

me months. But

7:45

once I had all the tech, once

7:48

I was able to figure out all the tech and I got it

7:50

all, I was able

7:52

to go, okay, the challenge is, let

7:54

me see if I could do a better version in just

7:56

these couple days. And so I did

7:58

that all a week ago around. on this time last

8:00

week, in two days I

8:02

made a full bell complete start to finish

8:05

with the materials I had left on hand. And

8:07

I was pretty impressed with myself

8:10

because it took me from the very first clip

8:12

that I started filming for this video was August

8:14

1st. So August 1st, by

8:17

the end of August I had a fail. By

8:19

the end of September I had another fail. By

8:21

the end of October we had

8:23

China something and that's what I made into the

8:25

first successful

8:28

bell and then I made one that ultimately came out

8:30

much better. And for

8:32

a lot of reasons it came out much better. Aside

8:35

from the fact that I had to develop skill, I

8:38

always say do it once and then if you do it

8:40

again. But I was hoping, because it was so complicated, I

8:42

was hoping Mike would see the first one and be like,

8:44

beautiful job. I'll overlook all

8:47

the bubbles and holes and pits because

8:49

it was so complicated to get to this point. But

8:52

he's like, now that you got the tech, see if you can

8:54

do it even better and obviously I did. It's

8:56

not perfect, the second one wasn't perfect, but

8:58

if the first one was like a five out of

9:01

10 as far as quality goes, the

9:03

second one was like an eight out of

9:05

10 if quality goes. So it was

9:07

a really big improvement. So

9:10

you'll see all that in the video coming up. Cool.

9:15

Well, you always say you're an AC student, so. Yeah,

9:18

exactly. That's

9:20

what I was trying to get out of it, was just that

9:22

C grade. Right. We need it. We need

9:24

at least an 85 or above. David,

9:31

have you been printing anything lately? Yes,

9:34

I actually got a new 3D

9:36

printer, the Saturn

9:38

III Ultra. I

9:41

like the resin printers

9:44

and just stuff for the shop, the

9:46

organization inside the drawers. I still have

9:48

the Prusa, but I think I'm gonna

9:50

sell it because it's got a smaller

9:53

bed and just wasn't big

9:55

enough for some of the things that I wanted to

9:57

make. The

10:00

Elegoo Saturn III Ultra

10:02

has been fantastic. And

10:05

I'm trying to... The

10:08

problem with the resin printing, as anybody

10:10

knows, is the mess, the cleanup, the

10:12

not touching, the smells and the fumes

10:14

and everything. So I'm trying

10:17

to get a... And I've been

10:19

using the... I

10:21

don't know what I'm talking about.

10:24

The wash, the water washable resin.

10:26

Oh yeah. The

10:30

IPA alcohol stuff

10:32

just was... It

10:35

feels unhealthy, it smells terrible. And

10:38

it just, I didn't like

10:40

messing with it. So I've been using the

10:42

water washable resin. That's been working pretty darn

10:44

good for me. So I'm trying to get

10:46

my curing and wash station kind of organized

10:49

so it's less of a hassle and

10:51

it's more of a easier process from...

10:54

Because there's just a lot of stupid post

10:56

printing stuff that you gotta do with the resin. Yeah,

11:00

I think that's probably the reason that I don't

11:02

do more resin stuff. I've

11:05

been through so many 3D printers and

11:08

I've settled on these two that I'm working with now.

11:10

Just, I mean, they're

11:12

not flawless, but they work pretty

11:14

much every time. And I

11:17

know when a design or a piece is gonna be,

11:20

is gonna push it to where I might have a

11:22

failure, but a lot of the stuff, it

11:24

just, it's perfect off the printer. Both

11:27

printers, every time with

11:30

very little cleanup. And so it makes it hard for

11:32

me to justify then doing resin stuff unless I specifically

11:34

need to, because then you get done and you're like,

11:36

okay, now I have a bunch of work to do.

11:43

I don't know that you guys can see

11:45

the quality of this print. People

11:47

who are listening definitely cannot see the quality of

11:49

this print. But I wanted to point this out

11:52

because this is straight

11:54

off of the X1 carbon machine

11:59

with Which

14:00

is really really in there right now. But anyway,

14:02

you pull that pin out and you put it in

14:04

the different holes and you feel how tight you want it to

14:06

be and then that's the tolerance you use.

14:10

So I started doing that. Anyway, so first

14:13

draft. This was cool. It

14:16

worked really well except for you

14:18

plug the drive in there. It plugs

14:20

into the thing and then when you pulled it out it

14:23

pulled the cord with it. So

14:25

actually that was yeah,

14:27

I made another version of it different

14:29

material and I ended

14:32

up changing it. You'll like this Jimmy. So

14:35

this version I wanted the

14:37

cord to be stuck in place. So there's

14:40

these tiny little barbs that I'm all in

14:42

right there that actually go in

14:44

slots in the cord. So once it's down it

14:46

can't go forward and backward that worked perfectly. But

14:49

then I modeled in dovetails right

14:51

there, which you can just barely see on the

14:55

bottom of these pieces. And

14:57

so you can

15:00

line all of these up. This is the top and

15:02

the bottom for this thing. You put the cable in

15:04

there. You line these pieces up and

15:08

they slot together. And

15:10

I mean it is, it could not be a more

15:12

perfect fit. And so I

15:14

took this thing, put some VHB tape on the

15:16

top of it, stuck it to the bottom of

15:18

my desk and I have this perfect little disc

15:22

insertion point under my desk. Totally out of

15:24

the way. It's always plugged in. And

15:27

man, like that right there, it was 30

15:29

minutes of work or something. It

15:31

made my day. I need

15:34

this very specific thing to work with this very

15:36

specific cord to go in this specific place. It's

15:39

like a side quest drive. Oh man,

15:41

so cool. Side quest, I haven't heard that in a

15:43

while. But that

15:45

stuff just, it gets me really excited.

15:48

And I know I talked about it last week too,

15:50

but the fact that I

15:53

feel like I'm finally taking advantage of

15:57

these tools in a useful, in like a

15:59

practical way. not just a, you

16:01

know, they need another transformer. Yeah.

16:05

And it's not just little tchotchkes and things

16:07

that take up space. That's

16:09

always been my problem with 3D printing. I

16:11

just can't figure how to incorporate it. But

16:13

if I end up experimenting with this bronzing

16:15

process, it's absolutely something. Then

16:17

I end up with a net result that for

16:19

me is a little bit more useful. And

16:23

I'm actually going to, I'm going to begin to experiment with

16:25

making art for art's

16:27

sake and not necessarily making

16:30

things out of just 3D objects. I have a, my

16:33

friend is encouraging me. She's an

16:35

art dealer, my girlfriend Rachel, and she's been encouraging me

16:37

to make art for art's sake. She's like, I really want

16:39

to see what you could do to make

16:41

art for art's sake and not necessarily have to have

16:43

a reason for it. She

16:45

says, it's really something she's

16:48

known me since before we met

16:50

together. So she says, you're

16:54

always making things with a purpose. In

16:56

the art world, there's really no

16:58

purpose. Practically

17:01

there's a purpose but not a practical purpose.

17:04

Yeah. Interesting. So I

17:06

have this tendency of making tools that don't

17:08

do anything. They look like tools. So it's just

17:10

like sort of a, so it's

17:12

like a whatchamacallit, but it

17:14

really doesn't do anything. But it looks like a

17:16

real good whatchamacallit from the turn

17:18

of the century. And in 100 years, we know people

17:20

will be looking at it. I'm

17:24

not sure what this is for, but it's probably for doing

17:26

that. You know, the people will theorize about it because it's

17:28

going to be useless from the start. Just

17:31

screw hammer. Hmm. I was,

17:33

if there was a, if there was like this

17:35

cohesive theme and I was in a gallery and

17:37

this artist just had a bunch of tools that

17:39

didn't do anything, but they all had this like

17:43

cohesive look to it, that would just blow my

17:45

mind. A bunch of tools that

17:47

didn't have a purpose. Yeah,

17:50

that's what I'm going to do. That would

17:52

be amazing. Wow. A small show

17:54

of like bronze castings. Cool.

17:57

To start. We'll look forward to that. I

18:00

don't really know. It was

18:02

probably you Bob that got me

18:04

back into I need to 3D

18:06

print some stuff to better organize my

18:09

life. And it's funny that

18:13

I keep, you know, as I run into issues, I just go

18:15

to YouTube and I look it up. 99.9%

18:20

of all 3D printing videos on the

18:22

internet are figurines. And

18:25

I just, I

18:29

guess that's enough for

18:31

those people. That's awesome. But what do

18:33

you do with figure,

18:36

what do you do with all

18:38

the figurines? I just,

18:40

I want to learn how to make

18:43

a little organizational box. But

18:46

every example is a figurine and every test

18:48

is a figurine. And after you print out

18:50

like 400 of them, what are you doing

18:52

with them all? Yeah,

18:55

put them in your door. You put them in

18:57

your door. It's

19:00

just quite what I'm doing. You'll

19:05

see these people, they make the cages for

19:08

it to keep the smell in and they

19:10

have a whole system. Like you spend a

19:12

lot of time and energy and money to

19:15

make figurines. Are you doing anything else with the

19:17

3D print? Like I guess I just don't understand

19:19

it and shame on me for that.

19:22

No, not shame on you. I think

19:24

that's one of those things that, you

19:28

know, like the end point is derivative of

19:30

the thing that you find important or the

19:32

thing that you, like what's your intent. I

19:35

think a lot of people would look at, you

19:38

know, the things that all of us do and

19:40

be like, why would you waste

19:42

time building another table? What are

19:44

you going to do? Just go buy a table. You

19:46

know what I mean? It's all about your intent and

19:49

your kind of where you're coming from and what you

19:51

want to get out of it. I

19:54

know for me, in a similar

19:56

but different way, Lego is

19:58

a thing that... I

20:00

love, I really zone out

20:03

and relax when I just build a

20:05

LEGO set. This

20:09

is different from when I'm being creative, but when I just buy

20:11

a set, I have instructions, I have pieces, and I just go

20:13

through it. It's a decompression,

20:15

I don't really have to think

20:17

about what I'm doing, whatever. And so

20:19

I really love that part of it. And then I

20:22

end up with a thing, and I'm like, well, what

20:24

do I do with this thing? I

20:26

can't show off all the things

20:28

anymore. I don't have a place to put all

20:30

of these things. And so I

20:32

think part of that whole purchase,

20:34

build, display process, the

20:36

build is the part that it's

20:39

useful to me mentally. And

20:41

so I think with stuff like you're talking about, with

20:43

printing figures or non-usable

20:46

display things, I think

20:48

there's something in that process that's probably different for

20:50

everybody. That is the thing

20:52

that really works for that person, the thing that

20:55

maybe they just like to see it come from

20:57

nothing or whatever. But I think

20:59

everybody's got their different section

21:02

of the full

21:05

path from beginning to end that

21:07

does something for them, I think. And

21:12

please don't email me

21:14

saying, you're

21:17

a moron. But I'm sure

21:19

the post-processing, the painting, and making

21:23

things look old, and all the

21:25

sanding and the finishing, I'm sure

21:28

that's super satisfying for all those

21:30

people. Yeah, it's

21:32

process. It's the same kind of thing for all the

21:34

other – But

21:36

my point in that is that

21:38

I don't think you should feel bad for

21:40

not understanding that or be like, shame on

21:42

me, because you wouldn't get

21:45

the same thing out of that process as somebody else

21:47

would. They wouldn't get the same thing out of your

21:49

process that you do. And I think that's

21:51

one of the – being on

21:53

the internet, that's one of the misunderstood or

21:56

– I don't know,

21:58

not misunderstood. It's one of the things that – People

22:00

from different places with different ideas and

22:02

different interests don't do a

22:04

great job of crossing over and understanding each

22:06

other with. But

22:09

anyway, I

22:12

had something else I was going to say about 3D printing and then I'll

22:14

show up about it. What was it? I don't

22:17

remember. I guess I'm done with that. Anyway, they've

22:21

been making – They've been looking at the castable stuff. Oh,

22:24

good. Good, good, good. I've never

22:26

used that. I've had some of it and then I didn't use

22:28

it so long that it went bad. It

22:30

says no post-process, no post-curing

22:33

necessary obviously because it's going to

22:35

then be melted out. So

22:37

I think I might buy one and play with it. Thank you. Thanks for

22:39

getting me done this path. So

22:42

David, are you working at the new house? What are

22:44

you even up to? So this

22:48

week I was

22:51

going to shoot the Wen retool reviews video

22:53

and in my previous video I said that's

22:55

going to be the next video so hang

22:57

tight. Totally lied. I decided

22:59

to make a Christmas

23:01

gift for Kelly. I'm assuming she's not

23:04

going to listen to this before Christmas.

23:06

So we had a bathroom renovation a

23:08

year ago and she now – so

23:10

we have a fancy tub so she

23:13

wants a little shelf when

23:15

she's in the tub to put her iPad and

23:18

stuff. So I made a little shelf

23:20

and it's got two little wings on the side. It just

23:22

sits on the top of the tub and then it dips

23:24

down. And then

23:26

I bought one of those foldable – it's

23:28

like a magnetic thing that holds your iPad

23:31

and it can fold and turn and

23:34

I routed out a little pocket for that

23:36

to sit into which is going to be

23:38

epoxied in there. It's got a little place,

23:40

a little hole and a place

23:43

to slide in a wine glass and

23:46

then a little place where you could

23:48

either put a candle or a glass

23:51

of whiskey. This is like when

23:53

Kelly needs to decompress,

23:56

relax. She loves using the new bathroom and

23:58

so this is the best. This is the

24:00

thing that I built. So

24:02

that is almost done. I just gotta add some

24:04

finish. That video is not gonna come out until

24:06

after Christmas. So we're almost

24:08

done with that. And then the

24:12

bathroom renovation is going

24:14

faster than anticipated.

24:16

So Monday

24:18

and Tuesday I need to work on the vanity that's

24:20

gonna go in there. And so

24:22

the one video is gonna get pushed probably until January.

24:24

So yeah, I haven't

24:27

done that yet. I

24:30

haven't done anything to the new house just because there's

24:32

so much to do here. But the

24:34

next thing is going to be the bathroom vanity. And

24:36

it's a small little 32 inch vanity.

24:38

So it's not gonna be, I'm

24:41

trying to find the hook for this video because

24:43

there's not a lot to it. It's basically a cabinet with

24:45

two doors. So I'm trying to think of maybe

24:48

I do something fancy with the handles. Or

24:51

maybe this is one of those projects that's

24:53

just me. Doesn't need a hook. We

24:56

know it's not gonna do well type thing.

24:59

Well, I mean, I think one

25:02

of the things I've been thinking about with my

25:04

videos, maybe you could use this to find the

25:06

hook, is to,

25:11

when I think about the subject of

25:13

a video, I often think about it

25:15

very specifically. So like

25:19

this 3D printed disc thing that I was

25:21

talking about. If I were to make a video about

25:23

that, my first impulse would be like,

25:26

how to make the perfect enclosure for this drive

25:30

with this plug, which nobody cares about that.

25:32

And nobody has those two specific items and

25:34

wants to put it under their desk or

25:36

whatever. But if you

25:38

take that same idea and you just wrap

25:40

it in a more generalized approach, then

25:43

the boring can become global,

25:46

can become more accessible to more

25:48

people. Yeah,

25:51

so the best, I don't even know off the

25:53

top of my head. Proving your workflow. Yeah,

25:56

cleaning my desk with 3D

25:58

printing or something. draw

28:01

up the cabinet but also find what the

28:03

what that hook is. It's funny so a

28:06

few weeks ago I put out a

28:08

video I can't remember if it was the

28:10

nightstand video or the bar stool video but

28:12

it was basically a build video just

28:14

an ordinary build video beginning to end how

28:17

I did it and there

28:19

were a couple of comments I would say three or

28:21

four comments of like it's

28:23

so good to see build videos

28:25

so many YouTube woodworkers just review

28:28

stuff or whatever I

28:30

I miss the build videos but

28:32

then that video is like a

28:35

nine of ten or a ten of ten like it which

28:37

is in YouTube

28:39

world that's a bad video like well nobody

28:41

watches those videos because it didn't have a

28:43

hook. Yeah

28:46

it's

28:49

weird like I I mean I know I'm talking

28:51

about 3d printing a lot it's just what I'm into right now but

28:55

the shop lights that I have in the

28:57

shop are fading and changing

28:59

color and they're getting all

29:02

weird so I started looking for

29:04

new lights and so I found these LED

29:09

they're strip lights but they're in these cases with

29:11

diffusers on them and stuff and

29:13

so I was trying

29:16

to figure out how to put them in the shop on

29:18

the ceiling but in a way that wasn't if

29:20

the camera just couldn't see them you know because

29:22

right now I have these big panels and so

29:24

you have these hot spots within the camera in

29:26

the shop and I have like

29:28

lower ceilings so it's hard to get them out of

29:30

the camera's view so I was trying

29:32

to figure out how to put them up in between the floor choice and

29:37

really simple idea of 3d printing these mounts and a

29:40

simple piece of wood that would have some play in

29:42

it left and right so that they could fit in

29:44

any of the spaces you can move them up and

29:46

down to get them where you want to I came

29:48

with this simple but kind of cool idea I'm

29:51

like that would be a cool video except

29:54

how do you how

29:56

do you make a video about that it's

29:58

hanging lights it's about it's a problem problem

30:00

solving video. But I've already solved

30:02

the problem in my head, so I just have to execute it.

30:05

But how do you turn that into an interesting thing?

30:08

It's the same conversation, just, you

30:11

know, and then I went down the path of

30:13

trying to come up with some interesting hook around

30:17

better shop lighting with 3D printing or something like

30:19

that. But you can only take that so far

30:21

before it starts to get like, what?

30:25

Like, I don't have a 3D printer, I don't care

30:27

about that. My shop light's fine or whatever. So I

30:31

have, that's one example of ideas that

30:33

I have that I would like to do that

30:35

I think would be interesting from my perspective, but

30:37

I don't know how to make them from

30:41

a title thumbnail perspective. How to

30:43

make them interesting to other people to actually get them

30:45

in. You know, you just, you

30:47

just like listening to you talk, I just came up

30:49

with a funny idea, which maybe one day I'll do.

30:52

It's if you do a regular build video, but

30:55

create some serious drama

30:57

tension also interwoven in

30:59

it. Like for instance, if

31:02

I'm going to build a cabinet, but there's also

31:04

like a police chase happening. So it's like, in

31:06

the middle of like

31:09

cutting wood,

31:11

all of a sudden it cuts to like, you know, somebody at

31:13

the wheel of a car going 100 miles an hour. And

31:16

then it cuts back to me finishing the cut of the wood.

31:18

But you got to watch the whole thing because they're both interlaced.

31:21

Oh, yeah, it turns out. Yeah. And

31:23

somehow, somehow they're related. Yeah, I'm

31:26

gonna do that. It's okay. So there's a there's

31:28

a great trick you can do. So as youtubers,

31:30

sometimes we need

31:36

to have multiple thumbnails. So if one

31:38

doesn't work, we have one that can

31:41

swap up. And a great trick

31:43

to that is to have a secondary storyline. So

31:45

and you introduce both storylines at the front

31:47

of the video. So maybe the storyline is

31:50

I'm building a cabinet or the secondary storyline

31:52

is I made handles out of

31:54

a gear antler or something, right. And

31:56

so one of the first things that you say in the

31:58

video is you introduce both. storylines and if the

32:01

one thumbnail doesn't work, you can swap

32:03

it off with something totally different which

32:05

is still relevant to the video because

32:08

you introduced that secondary storyline. Yeah, still

32:10

true. That's good. I

32:13

have a lot of ideas that

32:15

I haven't figured out how to make

32:17

them interesting yet and those

32:22

ideas are written down somewhere and I

32:24

always think, oh, you know, I'll be

32:26

doing something and then that the interesting

32:28

part will just hit me. It never

32:30

does. I'm

32:33

only able to come up with that interesting part when

32:35

I actually sit down and I start typing

32:38

up or writing down ideas

32:40

for that video. Like I have to physically say,

32:42

you know what, I need to come up with

32:44

an interesting idea now. In

32:47

the next 15 minutes, I'm just going to

32:49

brainstorm with myself. It never just

32:51

comes to me. I don't know why ideas just

32:53

don't come to me like they used to. I

32:55

have to force myself and then I usually find

32:57

out like after that 15, 20 minute period, I'm

33:01

good to go. Like I feel

33:03

really solid and then sometimes I'll let

33:05

that just sit a little bit longer,

33:07

a few more days or a week

33:09

or so and see

33:11

if I can expand

33:13

on that even more. But the older

33:15

I get, the more I have to

33:18

set aside time to brainstorm. It

33:21

makes sense. I mean, it's effort. You got to

33:24

put effort into things. I

33:26

think it's just because there's so much stuff happening in

33:28

my brain all the time. I don't have just, I

33:31

don't know, as a kid, you're free. You don't

33:33

have worries. You don't have obligations. You don't have

33:35

a calendar. And

33:40

as an adult, the

33:43

shower ideas just don't come to me anymore.

33:45

So my morning walks, I've been forcing myself

33:48

to not listen to anything.

33:50

No podcasts, no music, just

33:52

me and my stupid thoughts

33:54

for one mile every morning and it

33:59

does help me. A lot of comedians and a

34:01

lot of entertainment stuff, of course, I listen to. They

34:05

constantly talk about how

34:07

it's really important to sit down and write. Every

34:10

morning you get a city computer and write. If

34:12

it's about new comedy, obviously new stories or new

34:14

scripts, it's important to sit down and write. That

34:17

being said, I know there are some comedians that

34:19

are a little lazy. They just write on stage.

34:22

They write improv on stage. You

34:25

really need to focus and sit and

34:27

stare at a computer screen. It seems like if

34:29

you're a comedian or a writer, the

34:33

same thing tinkering in the shop,

34:35

I believe, is the same thing for a

34:38

maker. It's really important to tinker. Tinker

34:41

is no real

34:43

end goal, just really jogging your thoughts

34:45

and playing around with new materials and

34:47

experimenting and see what if I do that, what happens

34:50

there. That's our version of sitting

34:52

at the computer and writing is tinkering, I

34:55

believe, or going for long walks, definitely,

34:57

exploring some of the things, reviewing

34:59

some of the things you've exposed yourself

35:01

to, whether it be

35:03

videos or books or in-person experiences

35:07

like factory lines or whatever, construction

35:10

sites, these type of things all go

35:12

to the pool which will

35:15

regurgitate as some new interesting idea somehow.

35:19

It's important to focus on that however

35:21

it works for you. Instead

35:23

of just waiting, like you said, waiting for the shower moments, you

35:25

really got to exercise that muscle.

35:28

I wonder, like, so doing that,

35:31

I know you go on the walks, so that is

35:33

kind of a scheduled time. Jimmy, you've

35:35

gone for walks and probably done a similar thing

35:37

in your head. Yeah, I do the peloton now,

35:39

but yeah. Other than those

35:41

things, do you all schedule creative

35:44

time like that? No, but I

35:46

keep getting sure. Maybe not schedule,

35:48

but do you plan it? I'm going to sit down for

35:50

this, you know, on these days for

35:52

this amount of time. I

35:55

don't schedule, but I know in every week there

35:57

are three or four days where I have to

35:59

do. Don't have to deal with anybody, there's no,

36:01

but it's just me. until three in the morning. And

36:04

those are my days. Sometimes it's two

36:06

days in a week, sometimes the streets

36:08

case. I swore that. It's.

36:11

Just me and my workshop. And

36:14

those are the days you see more Instagram stories, more

36:16

michelle and awesome of the things I'm playing with does

36:18

is as at the day will just literally go until

36:20

I fall asleep on my bed with all my clothes

36:22

on. Like. Days of the Days and

36:25

those are the Israeli. guess the most productivity?

36:27

Don't know. Once at the house In I've

36:29

been as the house alone more often than

36:31

ever before and last twenty years and. It's.

36:34

Just. Me and shop tinkering, playing,

36:36

exploring ideas, doing that. One thing that

36:39

I've been avoiding because it's complicated season,

36:41

but to me that's where a lot

36:43

of the. That. That's my.

36:46

Writing Time for lack of a better term for my

36:49

think the time. So

36:52

elisa least two days a week for me. Do

36:56

you do that? David as an ox know

36:58

and I keep thinking I should. I heard

37:00

somewhere on a podcast. Recently.

37:03

Ah, Talk about like to

37:05

schedule on creative time. And. I'm

37:07

like man, I really need to do that Like every.

37:10

Every Wednesday and one from one or two.

37:12

I should do this as an eye and

37:14

I never do it. and I want to.

37:16

and I'm pretty sure that I'm. And

37:19

and. Present. Points here.

37:22

So I just thought of this because he said

37:24

the way the he said that. I've.

37:27

Been thinking about us as well. In regard to

37:29

music, I need to do it for projects to.

37:32

But. I. Don't make time

37:34

to play music other than also.piano

37:36

upstairs with the family. For.

37:38

A few minutes every day. But

37:40

down here I've got all my music of

37:42

set up A got a cello up there

37:44

somewhere that he can't seek as of the

37:46

boxes that I. Have been

37:48

wanting to get back to learning how to play

37:51

to the started Antonio. So I think any other

37:53

day about. I'm. if

37:56

i set aside fifteen minutes in the morning

37:58

maybe it's like first Maybe it's

38:00

right before lunch 15 minutes to

38:02

sit down with YouTube and the cello

38:05

and just get better at it Just just a little

38:07

bit every day every other day something

38:10

like that You

38:14

know, I wonder if if

38:16

how much of a difference that would make in a short amount of

38:18

time So the way that you said that

38:20

thing that you just said brother is like, oh I

38:22

should schedule this but then I'd never do What

38:24

about if you schedule it for or maybe we

38:26

all do this we schedule that

38:28

thing in For a limited

38:31

amount of time so For

38:34

the next four weeks or three weeks or

38:36

two weeks. It's Wednesday afternoon

38:38

at 1 o'clock to 1 30

38:40

is X time. It's music time. It's creative

38:43

time It's Jimmy getting back to trumpet time,

38:45

whatever it is. Oh, yeah So

38:49

we you know not like forever. It's every

38:51

Wednesday for the rest of my life, but

38:53

mm-hmm, you know pick four weeks X

38:56

amount of time on X day and

38:59

then see what happens See

39:01

if you're better at the thing see if you

39:03

end up with this is the most productive 30

39:05

minutes of my entire week You know what? I

39:07

mean something like totally a wheezy waiter video if

39:10

you watch his Exactly.

39:12

I did this thing for 30 days or for

39:14

90 days. Yeah, and some

39:16

of these things changes life Some of them don't but

39:19

yeah, I I know I know 100%

39:23

if I did that it would have an impact.

39:25

It's just the doing the doing is the hardest

39:27

part All remembering to

39:30

put that out my calendar If

39:32

I put it in my calendar, we have the three of

39:34

us who are really good at bothering each other about things

39:37

So we could hold each other accountable for

39:40

that stuff if you want to do that Yeah,

39:42

I want to try this so that like the

39:44

way we meet the way we meet every here

39:46

every Wednesday most often Do we

39:48

want to do that where like wherever we are? We'll just

39:51

say we just check in Mm-hmm check

39:53

in check in check in and then for that

39:55

hour We're not talking to each other, but we've

39:57

checked in with each other to know

39:59

that we're whatever we're doing on that one hour. We'd

40:03

all have to get on the same schedule, which might be

40:05

difficult. Yeah. Well, we could

40:07

find some time. I think we could check in. I think

40:09

we could. And then what

40:11

are we gonna be doing? We're gonna pick something and try and improve

40:13

on it. Yeah, I think just something,

40:16

I think it's important that it's something that you, something

40:20

that you feel like you should do more of,

40:22

but you just have a hard time sitting in.

40:25

Because, I like it. If it's like, I'm gonna work for

40:27

another 30 minutes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You just have to

40:29

work all the time. Yeah. That's not it.

40:32

where you go like, man, I really wish I could put

40:34

time into whatever, you

40:36

know. My. For me, I think

40:38

it would be music. I need to do it for project

40:41

creative as well. I'm going to,

40:44

I wanna do a beat. I wanna do a beat

40:46

every, once a week. When

40:48

I say beat, I mean, maybe there's

40:50

a drum loop and a bass line and guitar line. But

40:53

just a, I wanna come up with like

40:55

a 30 second loop. Cause

40:57

I need new music for my videos. And I've been

40:59

using stock music and I just got an email this

41:02

morning saying, we're

41:04

flagging your video and I had to do

41:06

a copy dispute. Yeah, cause I have the

41:08

right to the song that I used in

41:10

the previous video. I did not, it's a

41:12

song that I did not write. I

41:15

use some stock music and I

41:17

get a, fight

41:20

this cop around claim. And

41:23

I mean, it just means I need to get

41:25

back and make my own music for my videos again. Which

41:29

I do 80% of the time. Yeah,

41:32

but I could have an added pressure though. I mean, that's

41:34

a, that's a whole

41:37

nother thing on top of everything else to get

41:39

a video out. That's pretty wild. I

41:42

mean, if I came up with one new

41:45

beat every single week, one

41:47

new loop, doesn't mean necessarily

41:49

that I'm going to use it, but it's just

41:51

like, okay, if I come up with one a

41:54

month, if I have 12 new songs every year

41:57

that I can introduce into the, 12

42:01

songs that I already have. Then I

42:03

have 24 jams that

42:05

I could introduce into my videos. And

42:08

the songs only play for like, you know, a

42:10

little quick little 30 second montages. So I don't

42:12

need to write a full song. I just

42:14

need to loop. I just got a good loop. Yeah.

42:17

So mine's gonna be making beats. He's gonna send this

42:19

to Jimmy and he puts trumpet over top of it.

42:21

That's it? Yeah. Lay

42:23

down some tracks. Trumpet solo.

42:27

That'd be so

42:29

awesome. Oh man.

42:32

I mean, you should think about that. Both of you.

42:35

You can have one of your songs and

42:37

then you just cut to Jimmy playing a

42:40

trumpet solo in the middle of your video.

42:42

Like that one. There's

42:45

your beat storyline right there. If

42:47

we do this intensive, let's call it the

42:49

one hour intensive. If we do

42:51

the one hour intensive, are we gonna

42:54

document it? I

42:57

say no. Because I think that... The

43:00

Christmas party? Because I

43:02

think that takes away from it. I think it would distract.

43:04

Okay. I think you could do the wheezy way to

43:07

like, yeah, I'm gonna... Yeah, but

43:09

then it becomes about how to... We could share

43:11

our experience. We could just share our experience. Yeah.

43:14

Okay. And for me, an hour might even be too

43:16

much. I think it's just... I

43:20

think I would get lost and distracted over an hour

43:22

of trying to do something. When I would be thinking

43:24

about all the other things that I have

43:26

to do that particular day. Like

43:29

15, 30 minutes of focused,

43:31

dedicated... I can do

43:33

anything for 15 minutes and it's not gonna kill my

43:35

day. Or 30 minutes or whatever, you

43:38

know. And not feel bad

43:40

about it. But yeah.

43:42

I don't know.

43:47

It's an idea. That's something we have to do. But

43:49

I think it is something I'm gonna do. For

43:52

me. I gotta dust

43:54

off my trumpet. You should.

43:57

Here's a question for you. Why?

44:00

It's a lot of music stuff. A lot

44:02

of how to music stuff a lot of

44:04

like. Like. Andrew Long type

44:06

videos. I like it's it's. Everyday

44:09

and watching something about music

44:11

or something about creating something

44:14

about making. I'm watching those

44:16

videos. And part

44:18

of that satisfies my creative need

44:20

where I actually don't have to

44:22

do that because I found satisfaction

44:25

and somebody else to add you

44:27

Guys sign and. He. Sells.

44:30

Realize. It's just too much information out there. And.

44:34

You're. Watching. Too. Much as

44:36

as creating. I

44:39

do a deal for myself. Obama.

44:41

what else can I looked out? Beats the

44:43

the watch a video. That's said a pointless.

44:46

Person. Time with flicking through cheesy years ago. used

44:48

to sit with the remote control. do that with my

44:50

phone that I often stop myself as a what can

44:52

I be doing right now there's more productive and then

44:54

a drop the phone and they go do that And

44:57

I really made a conscious effort to find myself in

44:59

those moments. I

45:02

think I I do that with. Specifically.

45:04

With things that I'm not very

45:06

comfortable with. It

45:08

watching other people have expertise and

45:11

something. Canada. And

45:14

I know like makes me not see like

45:16

I have to learn and or something I

45:18

think with the car stuff a lot of

45:20

times. I'll. Watch other

45:23

people fix things on cars in

45:25

a really broad. Like.

45:27

I'm actually learning anything because they're being so

45:29

quick and so broad about the. Restoration.

45:33

Of fixing or whatever, but watching somebody

45:35

else have that expertise kind of gives

45:37

me a pass on. Am

45:39

in like our our lamp that totally understand

45:41

what they're doing to skepticism. Six, it. Which.

45:44

Is not really helpful to me. it's just

45:46

entertainment. So.

45:49

I get caught in this rabbit hole. I

45:52

watched a video on. Ah,

45:54

that's just the my resin. And

45:57

I was just like this is so cool I

45:59

wanted. What to do since I was

46:01

watching another video and another video and

46:03

then just my is hard to find

46:05

in America an iphone somebody anyway. so

46:07

I bought it. Now that I have.

46:10

All of this powdered resin that's

46:12

what is it does suggest suit

46:15

just I'm. Just that

46:17

J E S ammo an I

46:19

T. System.

46:22

Just the moon. What is it useful? Never

46:25

heard I'm it's a it's I got there.

46:27

The thing is like eco friendly. Material for

46:29

artist is a powdered resin so you you

46:31

mix it with i think water as I

46:34

get like a plaster. But.

46:36

It's safer to work within. a lot of

46:38

plasters this get safer to work with and

46:40

that a lotta resins as you can get

46:43

and you can make furniture with the stuff

46:45

you can cast isn't. And so

46:47

I just went down this rabbit hole. and now

46:49

that I have it, Am I.

46:52

Here just going to keyboard and who's gonna

46:54

keep? Don't and don't I got my satisfaction

46:56

from one on. these are the people make

46:58

the furniture in else and so now it's

47:00

It's one of those tools that I have

47:02

that. Are. Are you set in

47:05

the future and soon as on the show but it's in the

47:07

arsenal I can. I can figure out how to do that. Does.

47:12

Have you feel about that? ceilings? Are

47:15

you good with that? Know my own

47:17

have been dead. Okay, no no I'm.

47:23

Soothe do it even sent me down

47:25

like okay this stuff is harder to

47:27

get and america. And.

47:29

There are other alternatives and and I

47:31

was finding that the other alternatives are

47:34

he's are not as eco friendly or

47:36

not a safe but definitely not as.

47:39

Hard and rigid as this particular stuff,

47:41

so he would. Chip easily.

47:45

And so. I paid

47:47

extra some this E bay guy

47:49

takes to get the stuff and

47:51

now dislikes. i've had all

47:53

this money and this is gonna take up i don't

47:55

have a lot of space to store stasis takes up

47:57

a lot of space and i'm feeling good about this

48:00

I should now I need to come up with

48:02

a project where I'm using this so I can feel better

48:04

about this and it's just another one of those things that's

48:06

kind of sit in the back of my mind and it's

48:08

gonna with all the Photographic

48:11

stuff and all the music stuff that all these

48:13

things that I don't all the 3d printing stuff

48:15

all the stuff that I don't use But I

48:17

have and it's taking up space and it's a

48:19

reminder. It all eats a little part of my

48:21

mind And then I

48:23

just always resort to woodworking Because

48:26

it's easy. I mean, okay All

48:29

right, so should you just? Release

48:31

some of that. I do I should I should It's

48:36

as easy as I should Okay,

48:39

when you say release you mean give it away. No, no,

48:41

no, no not give it. Oh, well you you say give

48:43

it away No, that's what I'm saying. Like

48:45

if so I we all do the

48:47

same thing Jimmy especially

48:50

Where we buy we buy a thing with the intention to

48:53

use it and we buy a whole bunch of them and

48:55

then they take up A whole bunch of space I'm just

48:57

kidding. You gotta buy another building That's true and it and

48:59

then you gotta buy another building to put all the other

49:01

things in the building of the building so

49:04

I mean Like what

49:06

if you what if you just decided

49:09

that was a good idea, but I'm

49:11

never gonna prioritize Photography

49:14

whatever I don't know a thing and just

49:16

be like, okay I'm I can

49:19

always rebuy it if I get the boat.

49:21

Yeah, I've done that I've given I

49:23

gave away for instance a few people asked me

49:25

recently. I got two messages say what happened to

49:27

the NT Cadillac I Gave

49:29

it away I gave it away to my

49:31

buddy Mike because Mike is a car guy and we were fiddling

49:34

around with it one day getting ready for The racetrack day and

49:36

I was like, you know what? I just don't have the time

49:38

for this like I'm like you wanted He's like if you don't

49:40

want it, I'll take it. So I just gave away the Cadillac

49:42

plus me a couple thousand dollars but

49:44

Mike's a friend and you know, he'll pay

49:47

me back in the way he will

49:49

and But

49:52

That was such a relief to know that it wasn't just

49:54

gonna sit under a tree and just fill up with water

49:56

I gave it to Mike Mike Turns it

49:58

into a tow truck and now it's its own mess. Then it's

50:00

own way but your he got a creative outlet

50:02

out of as. A total. I

50:04

do do that sometimes with materials and people around

50:06

him as you know what I'll never use that

50:08

an unborn it was different attentions, the different modes

50:11

you take it and you you store it for

50:13

me when I need to back or come get

50:15

it. where happens as after you have of for

50:17

so long you forget that you have a human

50:19

of us out in the open as great example

50:21

of this the other day there is guys the

50:24

house he was are given me and estimates. On

50:27

some sense and he sees two

50:29

bags of. Countertop.

50:31

Concrete. In the

50:33

garage which the countertop

50:36

concrete. That. Forty

50:38

or fifty pound bags you can't just

50:40

gets. You. Have to order and

50:42

then go pick it up at at

50:44

Lowes or Home Depot or whatever. So

50:46

ah, two years ago. I. Saw

50:48

probably. I was probably

50:50

been doing some countertop concrete stuff and as

50:53

like I need i need to bags as

50:55

s just in case those two bags have

50:57

been sitting in my garage for so long

51:00

I forgot about him and then the guy

51:02

coming into the estimates like oh v making

51:04

countertops as like last funny story after that

51:06

that I had them. they been there for

51:09

two years but I have a just in

51:11

case. It. But

51:13

I can't give him a letter you to town.

51:15

It's actually give those two bags away you. You

51:18

can give more tests, etc. the same thing right

51:20

there. Okay, will you

51:22

could sell him for forty nine assists

51:24

but I think that's the thing. Like

51:26

I'll and I'm talking to my sorry,

51:28

okay, I'm not I I. Think

51:31

we get into this thing of.

51:34

Having the best intentions are

51:37

having some. It's potential,

51:39

right? So we have this potential

51:41

for a new product or for

51:43

a new process is potential for

51:45

a new tool. And. it's

51:48

unrealized because we get this potential

51:50

and then we just want to

51:52

have the potential but the potential

51:54

takes money and space and time

51:56

and brain power to just hold

51:58

potential and you can all You can

52:00

always buy potential again, but you

52:02

can't buy brain space and you can't

52:04

buy, I mean, I guess you can

52:06

buy physical space. But, you know,

52:08

I'm not going to go buy more physical space

52:10

to hold potential. And

52:12

like being able to release that stuff,

52:15

you're releasing a lot. So,

52:17

and again,

52:19

I'm saying that to myself. I should

52:21

probably let go of some

52:23

of these potentials. I

52:26

need a better help sponsorship. Do

52:28

I need a better help sponsorship? Have you seen

52:31

these ad reads for better help?

52:33

It's like online therapy. Oh yeah, I've done them and I'm

52:35

going to be doing six of them over the next six

52:37

months. Yeah, I need one of those sponsorships to force myself

52:39

to talk to a therapist to help me get rid of

52:41

all this stuff that I don't need. I think, it's funny,

52:43

just reminding me, I think better help reached out to me,

52:46

to my past, not to my agent. Can I ask him

52:48

what's going on? Yeah,

52:51

no, I really find a lot of therapy and giving stuff

52:53

away. I give a lot of stuff away. And

52:56

it's always like, oh, that's cool. I'm like,

52:58

oh, you want to take it. And it's

53:00

funny because like when you feel

53:03

like you've got, you

53:05

know, like this thing is important or it has

53:07

some potential that you're going to take advantage of.

53:09

And you feel like if releasing

53:11

that or letting go of it or selling it or

53:13

whatever, you're losing out on something. But

53:16

honestly, like what you just said, Jimmy, when

53:18

you get rid of it, the moment it's

53:20

gone, it's like you never had it. There

53:23

are very rarely things that I've let go of

53:25

in my life, physical things. When

53:28

it's gone, I go, man, I sure wish I

53:30

still had that. There's always another thing. There's always

53:32

another. You get it.

53:35

You can, I mean, unless it's a sentimental

53:37

thing, like for instance, you know, when my

53:39

dad passed a couple, almost a month ago,

53:42

me and my siblings were like, did we find

53:44

his rings? Because my dad had these two rings

53:47

that he always wore these two gold rings. You

53:49

know, one had his mother's, his one had his

53:51

mother's stone and then from her wedding and another

53:53

one was another sentimental thing that he always wore.

53:55

That was like the only two pieces of jewelry

53:58

ever cared about. So when we've got a little bit of a go

54:00

into the house like my sister said she sent to

54:02

the family chat. I have his rings. Good.

54:04

And like that was really the only things we cared about

54:07

of everything. Of course, the house

54:09

has value and lots of tools of value. But

54:12

all that's replaceable, theoretically

54:14

speaking, but these two rings were

54:16

the only like real mementos of my

54:19

dad's entire life that meant so much

54:21

to him because it meant so much to him because it

54:23

was his mother's diamond. And

54:26

so outside of a

54:28

thing like that, I just as an example, mostly

54:31

anything you give away and pass on you

54:33

can get again in the

54:35

right circumstance. It's just

54:37

stuff as Bob says, it

54:40

is. And, you know, but

54:42

it's also, I mean, we're talking about

54:44

the work of putting in to be creative. It is

54:46

also work to clear out parts of

54:48

your life. I

54:50

mean, I'm going to my dad's house tomorrow to get rid

54:52

of stuff. I'm gonna go to her and start it. Then

54:55

that's a huge amount. That's a really big amount

54:57

of work. But like even just looking at this

54:59

cabinet behind me of things that I enjoy that

55:01

I've actively curated into a little cabinet that I

55:03

can look at. Occasionally, I'll look at

55:06

that and go like, I really should just get rid of some

55:08

of this stuff now. But

55:10

it takes a lot of effort to post on

55:12

eBay. But I got to take

55:14

pictures of the thing. And so

55:16

just don't because of that minimal effort, I

55:18

sit with the the

55:20

weight of I should do this thing, rather

55:24

than, you know, trading that

55:26

for a little bit of effort to actually do the

55:28

thing. So it is

55:30

work, but I think it's worthwhile. What

55:34

is that song by Give It Away? Give

55:36

It Away? When

55:41

when we were talking about the trumpet earlier,

55:43

I was thinking about the Red Hot Chili

55:45

Peppers because Flea plays the trumpet. And I

55:47

remember back in the 90s, I

55:50

saw this clip of Nirvana playing live

55:52

somewhere and Flea plays the solo to

55:55

smells like Teen Spirit. I'm not gonna

55:57

know Flea played the trumpet and yeah.

56:00

It's a great clip. It's out there somewhere. Wow. Yeah.

56:04

I would like to find that. So

56:06

maybe not only do I need

56:08

an accountability partner for the... Accountability...

56:14

That's the... there's your title right there. For

56:16

the creative 15, 30 minute thing. But

56:19

maybe once a week we all get

56:21

rid of something that we don't need. I'm

56:25

like, look guys, I got rid of this. Bob,

56:29

you never heard the term accountability? I've

56:31

never heard that before. I don't even know how to spell it.

56:33

I'm trying to write it in the title. Accountability.

56:37

It's hard to say. I

56:39

don't think I made it up. I think I've heard it before. For

56:42

the... it's like having a sponsor. Yeah.

56:46

You know, in AA or at full step, you have a sponsor. Crazy.

56:50

So we had a topic today that we didn't

56:52

get to for the second week in a row.

56:54

It's okay. It's more natural when we

56:57

don't have a topic. Yeah,

56:59

it's true. What is a topic? How are we

57:01

going to be when we're older? Do we remember? I

57:04

think that was it. You know what's funny? We

57:06

could just say that at the end of every

57:08

episode from now on. And

57:10

it will be the running gag and then when

57:13

we're actually in our like 70s or 80s or

57:15

something. Still doing the show, of course. Then we

57:17

can actually have that. When we're actually out of

57:19

topics for our final show. Yeah.

57:23

Oh man, that would be

57:25

pretty funny. Well, do

57:27

you guys have anything else? I mean, we've been yammering

57:29

for an hour about basically nothing.

57:33

No, it's a good... this is always

57:35

a good therapy session. And so now

57:37

I have... what do I have,

57:40

Jimmy? A accountability? You

57:43

have two accountability buddies. Accountability

57:46

buddies. Man. I

57:49

Got to make it plural there.

57:51

Buddies, Accountability Buddies. I Just got

57:54

it available. Accountability buddies.net is available.

froze, oh there he is. Oh, you

1:02:12

know what, I hear banging and I'm like, I was yelling

1:02:14

at Ryan who's in the bedroom upstairs, you hear the banging?

1:02:17

Yeah. I hired

1:02:19

roofers to redo my porch and they finally started.

1:02:21

They told me that we're gonna start at some

1:02:23

point this week they never gave me a date.

1:02:25

So I hear banging and nail pulling, I'm like,

1:02:27

what's going on, these guys live in the neighborhood.

1:02:30

So I said come whenever. So they started doing the roof

1:02:32

on my front porch. I

1:02:35

was gonna recommend, do we all agree and

1:02:37

agree this, do we have the link to

1:02:39

this video where this gentleman

1:02:41

does a collaboration video for all of us? So we're

1:02:43

all gonna recommend that. This

1:02:46

kid, I wish I could remember his name. Does

1:02:48

anybody know his name off the top of your head? He's a small channel.

1:02:51

I can look. Still works. Yeah, he still

1:02:55

works. He did a video where he

1:02:57

collaborated, he made all of us collaborate

1:02:59

together, all like his favorite YouTubers, which

1:03:01

is at least 13, 14 different people,

1:03:04

which is really funny. Yeah, really

1:03:06

funny. There's a few people in there that I don't even know.

1:03:10

So it was really cool. And he mimicked each one

1:03:12

of us in our own way and

1:03:14

in a loving way. So that was really cool. And

1:03:17

then also check out Jason at Firebolt

1:03:20

Tools who is an incredible content

1:03:22

creator and not to mention an

1:03:24

incredible welder, product designer,

1:03:26

machinist. The

1:03:29

kid is like Superman. The kid, he's

1:03:31

probably a couple years younger than me.

1:03:33

But Jason at Firebolt Tools does a

1:03:35

video recently about making a simple part

1:03:37

and he hires three different anonymously. He

1:03:39

doesn't out them because it's kind of,

1:03:41

could be embarrassing. He hires three welders

1:03:43

to make parts and says

1:03:46

this is very specific part. It needs to be

1:03:48

right, needs to be have this tolerance and almost

1:03:50

all three of them fail. And

1:03:53

he explains the reasons why they fail at making

1:03:55

a, what seems like a very simple part, even

1:03:57

the thumbnail. I remember seeing the thumbnail going. I

1:03:59

don't understand. And

1:06:00

then made it look like it's on a

1:06:03

sign where it says sorry mom I'm done

1:06:05

with vandalism and then that person's signature for

1:06:07

their tag and there's just

1:06:09

a bunch of examples like that he's super

1:06:11

creative and Obviously,

1:06:14

it's more graffiti on top of

1:06:16

graffiti, but it's it's super entertaining

1:06:20

Huh and then he took

1:06:22

there's another example over Yeah,

1:06:25

somebody's tag and he made it look like

1:06:27

a check and that person's signature is on

1:06:29

this check And the check is

1:06:31

the memo and the check is graffiti removal It's

1:06:37

so clever so good That's

1:06:40

awesome Cool. Well,

1:06:43

1:06:45

1:06:55

1:06:59

funny to see him Imitate
