00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,660
[Speaker 0]
Mike Del's World, number five zero six for

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,040
[Speaker 0]
October twenty seventh twenty twenty five. I think

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:37,390
[Speaker 0]
it's time for Mike Del's World. There it

4
00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:41,055
[Speaker 0]
is. And there it is. Here I am.

5
00:00:42,315 --> 00:00:45,515
[Speaker 0]
Hey. It hasn't been six months, so I

6
00:00:45,515 --> 00:00:48,875
[Speaker 0]
guess this is a bonus extra holy crap,

7
00:00:48,875 --> 00:00:51,055
[Speaker 0]
but I did one within the same month

8
00:00:51,114 --> 00:00:54,580
[Speaker 0]
episode. Was it quite the same month? Let

9
00:00:54,580 --> 00:00:56,660
[Speaker 0]
me go look for sure, but, I I

10
00:00:56,660 --> 00:01:01,140
[Speaker 0]
think it might be. Anyway, welcome to, Mike

11
00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:04,420
[Speaker 0]
Dell's worlds. Thanks for staying. Subscribe even though

12
00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:09,160
[Speaker 0]
I'm not very, regular when it comes to

13
00:01:09,704 --> 00:01:12,104
[Speaker 0]
making these podcast episodes. And, actually, I haven't

14
00:01:12,104 --> 00:01:15,064
[Speaker 0]
been regular making podcast episodes for the other

15
00:01:15,064 --> 00:01:18,664
[Speaker 0]
podcast that I do, Podcast Insider. We haven't

16
00:01:18,664 --> 00:01:22,185
[Speaker 0]
done one in, I don't know, month and

17
00:01:22,185 --> 00:01:24,950
[Speaker 0]
a half or two months, something like that.

18
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:29,990
[Speaker 0]
But, they are resuming in November, so, look

19
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:32,009
[Speaker 0]
forward to that. We got a new cohost

20
00:01:32,149 --> 00:01:36,070
[Speaker 0]
on board, Dave Clements. You probably heard him

21
00:01:36,070 --> 00:01:40,405
[Speaker 0]
on there before. And if you, you've been

22
00:01:40,405 --> 00:01:43,125
[Speaker 0]
talking to Blueberry at all, Dave is kind

23
00:01:43,125 --> 00:01:46,965
[Speaker 0]
of the other support guy. Me, my or

24
00:01:46,965 --> 00:01:50,085
[Speaker 0]
me, Sean, and Dave are the support guys

25
00:01:50,085 --> 00:01:53,030
[Speaker 0]
over at Blueberry, so you'll get one of

26
00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:56,710
[Speaker 0]
us. And, anyway, Dave is also the face

27
00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:59,450
[Speaker 0]
of our YouTube channel over at Blueberry Podcasting,

28
00:02:00,630 --> 00:02:02,790
[Speaker 0]
YouTube. I don't know. Just look for Blueberry

29
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:06,165
[Speaker 0]
Podcast. Anyway, this isn't a Blueberry commercial. This

30
00:02:06,165 --> 00:02:09,845
[Speaker 0]
is a, an episode of Mike Dahl's World.

31
00:02:09,845 --> 00:02:11,705
[Speaker 0]
You know what's going on in my world?

32
00:02:12,245 --> 00:02:16,265
[Speaker 0]
And to be honest with you, winterizing, basically,

33
00:02:16,805 --> 00:02:22,530
[Speaker 0]
winterized both campers, moms and mine. Finally got

34
00:02:22,530 --> 00:02:25,250
[Speaker 0]
that all done. Got the boats put away.

35
00:02:25,250 --> 00:02:30,370
[Speaker 0]
Got most of the outdoor stuff put away

36
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:32,790
[Speaker 0]
for the winter. I got the snow blowers

37
00:02:32,849 --> 00:02:36,655
[Speaker 0]
out. Gonna take the tractor in in a

38
00:02:36,655 --> 00:02:39,695
[Speaker 0]
couple of weeks to get it all serviced

39
00:02:39,695 --> 00:02:42,735
[Speaker 0]
up and ready for winter. Gotta put the

40
00:02:42,735 --> 00:02:45,455
[Speaker 0]
cab and the snowblower on it, but I'm

41
00:02:45,455 --> 00:02:48,255
[Speaker 0]
waiting for the rest of the leaves to

42
00:02:48,255 --> 00:02:50,690
[Speaker 0]
fall out there so that I can scoop

43
00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:52,610
[Speaker 0]
them up with the tractor before I put

44
00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:57,730
[Speaker 0]
the snowblower on. That's the plan anyway. But,

45
00:02:57,970 --> 00:03:00,130
[Speaker 0]
other than that, haven't been doing a whole

46
00:03:00,130 --> 00:03:02,055
[Speaker 0]
lot. Did a little flying, not a lot.

47
00:03:02,295 --> 00:03:03,894
[Speaker 0]
It's kind of that time of year where

48
00:03:03,894 --> 00:03:07,655
[Speaker 0]
we're getting lake effect rain, so, the weather

49
00:03:07,655 --> 00:03:11,974
[Speaker 0]
hasn't really been conducive for flying. So, I

50
00:03:11,974 --> 00:03:15,849
[Speaker 0]
think I might hang up my, I guess,

51
00:03:15,989 --> 00:03:17,989
[Speaker 0]
it wouldn't be Spurs, but hang up my

52
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:21,269
[Speaker 0]
headset and, wait till spring. I I don't

53
00:03:21,269 --> 00:03:24,390
[Speaker 0]
wanna fight weather. You know, just don't yeah.

54
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:27,349
[Speaker 0]
I'm I'm a fair weather pilot, so we'll

55
00:03:27,349 --> 00:03:29,750
[Speaker 0]
we'll we'll call it good, for this year,

56
00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:32,485
[Speaker 0]
and maybe I can sneak one more in

57
00:03:32,485 --> 00:03:36,185
[Speaker 0]
before, before the weather turns to crap altogether.

58
00:03:36,805 --> 00:03:40,565
[Speaker 0]
But that's the that's the gist of it

59
00:03:40,565 --> 00:03:44,560
[Speaker 0]
anyway. So the other thing that's been going

60
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480
[Speaker 0]
on lately is I've been under a bunch

61
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,320
[Speaker 0]
of stress, and and a lot of the

62
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,880
[Speaker 0]
stress is brought in by myself. And I

63
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,260
[Speaker 0]
haven't really found a great way to alleviate

64
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,364
[Speaker 0]
it. And I'm wondering, you know, if I

65
00:03:58,364 --> 00:04:02,525
[Speaker 0]
could get some suggestions from you guys, you

66
00:04:02,525 --> 00:04:05,885
[Speaker 0]
know, some of the things that, you know,

67
00:04:05,885 --> 00:04:10,950
[Speaker 0]
that that you do to alleviate some stress.

68
00:04:10,950 --> 00:04:12,469
[Speaker 0]
And a lot of the stuff's brought on

69
00:04:12,469 --> 00:04:15,450
[Speaker 0]
by myself. You know, I I overthink everything.

70
00:04:16,470 --> 00:04:18,710
[Speaker 0]
You know, I've been overthinking the flying. I've

71
00:04:18,710 --> 00:04:21,830
[Speaker 0]
been overthinking the the work situation, you know,

72
00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:24,185
[Speaker 0]
with Todd passing away a couple months ago

73
00:04:24,185 --> 00:04:26,505
[Speaker 0]
and, you know, we're doing okay here at

74
00:04:26,505 --> 00:04:28,905
[Speaker 0]
Blueberry. I don't know. No big deal there.

75
00:04:28,905 --> 00:04:31,705
[Speaker 0]
I mean, well, big deal, but not, like

76
00:04:31,705 --> 00:04:35,384
[Speaker 0]
I said, nothing nothing is stopping. You know,

77
00:04:35,384 --> 00:04:38,770
[Speaker 0]
we're we're chugging along and, planning and I

78
00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:42,949
[Speaker 0]
think, making some good organizational changes that will

79
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:45,810
[Speaker 0]
ensure that we stick around for the long

80
00:04:45,810 --> 00:04:48,689
[Speaker 0]
term. I plan on sticking around for, at

81
00:04:48,689 --> 00:04:51,969
[Speaker 0]
least another bunch of years. You know, I'm

82
00:04:51,969 --> 00:04:55,775
[Speaker 0]
not ready to retire yet. So, you know,

83
00:04:55,775 --> 00:04:59,535
[Speaker 0]
gotta gotta keep it viable so that, you

84
00:04:59,535 --> 00:05:01,855
[Speaker 0]
know but like I said, I just been

85
00:05:01,855 --> 00:05:05,315
[Speaker 0]
stressed over silly little things, you know. Overthinking,

86
00:05:05,535 --> 00:05:08,035
[Speaker 0]
I guess, would be my my main problem.

87
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:10,460
[Speaker 0]
And then when I do have time to

88
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,860
[Speaker 0]
to, relax or de stress or whatever, then,

89
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,800
[Speaker 0]
you know, then then it gets worse. Or,

90
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,500
[Speaker 0]
you know, I'll sit down. You know, normally

91
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,885
[Speaker 0]
reading would be my go to, you know,

92
00:05:24,885 --> 00:05:27,205
[Speaker 0]
sit sit back in the easy chair, break

93
00:05:27,205 --> 00:05:30,105
[Speaker 0]
out the Kindle, and, you know, just read.

94
00:05:30,565 --> 00:05:32,165
[Speaker 0]
But, you know, I get four or five

95
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,885
[Speaker 0]
pages into a book or something, and if

96
00:05:34,885 --> 00:05:36,905
[Speaker 0]
the stress goes away, I go to sleep.

97
00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:39,340
[Speaker 0]
I don't know if that's because I'm getting

98
00:05:39,340 --> 00:05:42,960
[Speaker 0]
older. I don't know. But go you know?

99
00:05:43,660 --> 00:05:46,300
[Speaker 0]
Or a you know, get reading into, you

100
00:05:46,300 --> 00:05:48,860
[Speaker 0]
know, get into a book and, you know,

101
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:51,440
[Speaker 0]
get interested in all that, and then something

102
00:05:52,655 --> 00:05:54,574
[Speaker 0]
interrupts me, and I don't get back to

103
00:05:54,574 --> 00:05:58,514
[Speaker 0]
it. And, you know, taking a walk or

104
00:05:59,294 --> 00:06:01,455
[Speaker 0]
or going for a bike ride, all that

105
00:06:01,455 --> 00:06:03,775
[Speaker 0]
stuff, it's just, you know, I don't I

106
00:06:03,775 --> 00:06:06,520
[Speaker 0]
don't wanna do that. I just don't. But

107
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560
[Speaker 0]
it's, you know, been pretty much constant this

108
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,300
[Speaker 0]
whole year. There's just been, you know, things

109
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,719
[Speaker 0]
and stuff coming up, you know, and and

110
00:06:15,719 --> 00:06:17,400
[Speaker 0]
a lot of it I'm not in control

111
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,935
[Speaker 0]
of. You know, like, gotta go on a

112
00:06:20,935 --> 00:06:22,455
[Speaker 0]
trip. I don't wanna go on the trip,

113
00:06:22,455 --> 00:06:23,975
[Speaker 0]
but I gotta go on the trip. And,

114
00:06:23,975 --> 00:06:25,415
[Speaker 0]
you know, it was good to go on

115
00:06:25,415 --> 00:06:27,015
[Speaker 0]
the trip, but, you know, we went out

116
00:06:27,015 --> 00:06:30,455
[Speaker 0]
to Minneapolis to to my nephew's wedding, and,

117
00:06:30,695 --> 00:06:32,535
[Speaker 0]
yeah, that was all fine and good. But,

118
00:06:32,695 --> 00:06:36,050
[Speaker 0]
you know, just the pre trip logistics and

119
00:06:36,670 --> 00:06:40,510
[Speaker 0]
all the stuff that goes into planning something

120
00:06:40,510 --> 00:06:43,630
[Speaker 0]
like that, e even though, you know, we're

121
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:45,710
[Speaker 0]
just going there to attend. Sounds like I'm

122
00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:47,870
[Speaker 0]
gonna have a by here in a second.

123
00:06:47,870 --> 00:06:50,365
[Speaker 0]
So if you happen to hear that, that's

124
00:06:50,365 --> 00:06:52,925
[Speaker 0]
what's going on, but you might not hear

125
00:06:52,925 --> 00:06:55,884
[Speaker 0]
it. I get helicopters flying over the house

126
00:06:55,884 --> 00:06:58,365
[Speaker 0]
all the time, and nobody hears it on

127
00:06:58,365 --> 00:07:02,305
[Speaker 0]
my microphone. So maybe maybe it's a nonissue.

128
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,960
[Speaker 0]
But, you know, just one thing after another

129
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,280
[Speaker 0]
after another after another, and, you know, like

130
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,440
[Speaker 0]
all this winterizing stuff. Well, you gotta do

131
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,900
[Speaker 0]
it when the weather's good. And, you know,

132
00:07:17,115 --> 00:07:19,514
[Speaker 0]
you you spend all day doing something you

133
00:07:19,514 --> 00:07:22,155
[Speaker 0]
feel accomplished, and then you sit there and

134
00:07:22,155 --> 00:07:23,915
[Speaker 0]
you look at your to do list, and

135
00:07:23,915 --> 00:07:25,595
[Speaker 0]
you're like, oh man, I got all this

136
00:07:25,595 --> 00:07:27,835
[Speaker 0]
other crap to do. Now here comes the

137
00:07:27,835 --> 00:07:31,500
[Speaker 0]
fire trucks. Let's see here. Yeah. There he

138
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:36,720
[Speaker 0]
goes. Let's watch him on the camera. Anyway,

139
00:07:38,380 --> 00:07:41,915
[Speaker 0]
you know, it just seems like every second

140
00:07:41,915 --> 00:07:44,555
[Speaker 0]
of my day has is scheduled. And and

141
00:07:44,555 --> 00:07:48,155
[Speaker 0]
this weekend, you know, this past weekend, my

142
00:07:48,155 --> 00:07:51,355
[Speaker 0]
my wife took off for Grand Haven for

143
00:07:51,355 --> 00:07:53,935
[Speaker 0]
a couple of days or Muskegon, I guess,

144
00:07:55,030 --> 00:07:57,770
[Speaker 0]
down to her brother's place for a Michigan

145
00:07:57,830 --> 00:08:01,270
[Speaker 0]
wedding reception for the happy couple that got

146
00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:05,270
[Speaker 0]
married in Minneapolis. I need to come here

147
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:07,255
[Speaker 0]
and do a little party. I I I

148
00:08:07,255 --> 00:08:08,935
[Speaker 0]
didn't have to go. In fact, I really

149
00:08:08,935 --> 00:08:13,095
[Speaker 0]
couldn't go because I'm babysitting dogs. So, you

150
00:08:13,095 --> 00:08:15,895
[Speaker 0]
know, I've got a I got extra dog,

151
00:08:15,895 --> 00:08:19,095
[Speaker 0]
I should say. And we're down to one,

152
00:08:19,095 --> 00:08:24,060
[Speaker 0]
and then, and we got a a second

153
00:08:24,060 --> 00:08:27,020
[Speaker 0]
dog here that, we have part time just

154
00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:31,180
[Speaker 0]
because, his mom is a nurse, and she

155
00:08:31,180 --> 00:08:33,660
[Speaker 0]
works twelve hour shifts. But, she took a

156
00:08:33,660 --> 00:08:37,464
[Speaker 0]
vacation down to Puerto Rico, which I guess

157
00:08:37,464 --> 00:08:40,665
[Speaker 0]
is not getting the big hurricane. I don't

158
00:08:40,665 --> 00:08:42,745
[Speaker 0]
know. I chatted with her a little bit

159
00:08:42,745 --> 00:08:46,264
[Speaker 0]
today on text, and and, she didn't mention

160
00:08:46,264 --> 00:08:48,665
[Speaker 0]
anything about it. So I imagine that everything's

161
00:08:48,665 --> 00:08:51,280
[Speaker 0]
okay in Puerto Rico, but, I know she'll

162
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,280
[Speaker 0]
she'll be back Wednesday. So I really couldn't

163
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,440
[Speaker 0]
go down to this thing with Kathy, which

164
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,000
[Speaker 0]
is fine. I, you know, I I went

165
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,480
[Speaker 0]
to the wedding and and the reception there

166
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,520
[Speaker 0]
in Minneapolis. So or not Minneapolis. I should

167
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,245
[Speaker 0]
say an hour or so outside of Minneapolis,

168
00:09:06,465 --> 00:09:10,065
[Speaker 0]
but that's where we flew in. And, you

169
00:09:10,065 --> 00:09:12,545
[Speaker 0]
know, so I had some time. Well, you

170
00:09:12,545 --> 00:09:16,545
[Speaker 0]
know, on Saturday, I, went out and, you

171
00:09:16,545 --> 00:09:19,800
[Speaker 0]
know, did the campers and and the boats

172
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,040
[Speaker 0]
and, you know, few other little chores around

173
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,200
[Speaker 0]
mom's place, which was great. I'm glad to

174
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,760
[Speaker 0]
get it done. Feels really good to, get

175
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,160
[Speaker 0]
everything accomplished there. And I had all day

176
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,375
[Speaker 0]
Sunday to do just what I wanted. So

177
00:09:33,375 --> 00:09:34,815
[Speaker 0]
I got up in the morning, did my

178
00:09:34,815 --> 00:09:39,055
[Speaker 0]
normal ham radio activity, in case you're in

179
00:09:39,055 --> 00:09:42,815
[Speaker 0]
earshot HF wise. At nine o'clock in the

180
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:45,615
[Speaker 0]
morning, I get on thirty nine thirty five

181
00:09:45,615 --> 00:09:48,910
[Speaker 0]
for the, what we call, SmashNet, the the

182
00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:52,510
[Speaker 0]
Sunday morning social hour. It usually lasts about

183
00:09:52,510 --> 00:09:57,410
[Speaker 0]
an hour, but unless you're in Michigan, Ontario,

184
00:09:58,350 --> 00:10:04,065
[Speaker 0]
you know, Ohio, Indiana, maybe Illinois, maybe Wisconsin,

185
00:10:04,925 --> 00:10:07,084
[Speaker 0]
you're not gonna hear it. But, we get

186
00:10:07,084 --> 00:10:09,325
[Speaker 0]
a lot of check ins from around Michigan

187
00:10:09,325 --> 00:10:16,690
[Speaker 0]
anyway, mostly in Ontario. And then, you know,

188
00:10:16,690 --> 00:10:21,250
[Speaker 0]
and then, at ten thirty, most most Sundays,

189
00:10:21,250 --> 00:10:22,850
[Speaker 0]
I get on the I O O K

190
00:10:22,850 --> 00:10:27,990
[Speaker 0]
net around, seventy one eighty five, forty meters.

191
00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:30,595
[Speaker 0]
And, you know, that that reaches out a

192
00:10:30,595 --> 00:10:36,915
[Speaker 0]
little further pretty much, northeast and, Midwest. It

193
00:10:36,915 --> 00:10:40,195
[Speaker 0]
covers pretty well. I usually get on there

194
00:10:40,195 --> 00:10:42,279
[Speaker 0]
for at least one round and then go

195
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:43,960
[Speaker 0]
off to brunch. So, you know, Sunday, I

196
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,680
[Speaker 0]
went off to brunch. And with with a

197
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,000
[Speaker 0]
friend of mine, we you know, usually my

198
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,339
[Speaker 0]
mom joins us, but she was busy. And

199
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,380
[Speaker 0]
and so, you know, we had lunch, and

200
00:10:55,014 --> 00:10:56,695
[Speaker 0]
I came home, and I had the whole

201
00:10:56,695 --> 00:10:58,454
[Speaker 0]
rest of the day to myself. And what

202
00:10:58,454 --> 00:11:00,055
[Speaker 0]
did I do? I sat in the damn

203
00:11:00,055 --> 00:11:05,514
[Speaker 0]
chair and watched YouTube all day, which was

204
00:11:05,654 --> 00:11:09,280
[Speaker 0]
nice, but, then again, you know, you get

205
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,080
[Speaker 0]
to thinking and whatnot and, you know, I

206
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,120
[Speaker 0]
just I don't know. It's it's been it's

207
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,080
[Speaker 0]
been interesting, and a bit stressful. So, you

208
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,155
[Speaker 0]
know, hey. What what stress relief works for

209
00:11:24,155 --> 00:11:27,515
[Speaker 0]
you? You'll send that off to me. Mike

210
00:11:27,515 --> 00:11:30,875
[Speaker 0]
at mike dell dot com. I always like

211
00:11:30,875 --> 00:11:32,555
[Speaker 0]
to hear from you guys, and I know

212
00:11:32,555 --> 00:11:34,715
[Speaker 0]
there's somebody out there listening. You know, I

213
00:11:34,715 --> 00:11:37,800
[Speaker 0]
get the stats. And, you know, I don't

214
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,160
[Speaker 0]
hear a whole lot from you anymore. Speaking

215
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,399
[Speaker 0]
of blast from the past, like me doing

216
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:48,680
[Speaker 0]
regular podcasts, listened to trucker Tom today from

217
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:50,920
[Speaker 0]
probably a month, a month and a half

218
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,515
[Speaker 0]
ago. And, he was, he was mentioning Todd's

219
00:11:56,515 --> 00:11:58,915
[Speaker 0]
passing. Maybe it was two months ago. Jeez.

220
00:11:58,915 --> 00:12:00,595
[Speaker 0]
I don't know how long whatever his last

221
00:12:00,595 --> 00:12:03,635
[Speaker 0]
episode was. And, you know, he's he's kinda

222
00:12:03,635 --> 00:12:05,875
[Speaker 0]
slowed down on the on the publishing because,

223
00:12:05,875 --> 00:12:07,620
[Speaker 0]
you know, when you once you retire, you're

224
00:12:07,620 --> 00:12:11,140
[Speaker 0]
too busy to have time to podcast. That's

225
00:12:11,140 --> 00:12:13,380
[Speaker 0]
what I hear anyway. I don't know. I

226
00:12:13,380 --> 00:12:16,180
[Speaker 0]
think you still got some years left. But,

227
00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:18,660
[Speaker 0]
anyway, he had mentioned, I'm not sure what's

228
00:12:18,660 --> 00:12:22,535
[Speaker 0]
gonna happen with Blueberry. Well, nothing. Nothing's happening

229
00:12:22,535 --> 00:12:25,815
[Speaker 0]
with Blueberry. We're we're plugging along just like

230
00:12:25,815 --> 00:12:28,775
[Speaker 0]
we always did. But, anyway, it was cool

231
00:12:28,775 --> 00:12:31,015
[Speaker 0]
hearing from him. He's been retired for about

232
00:12:31,015 --> 00:12:34,510
[Speaker 0]
a year, and, sounds like he doesn't miss

233
00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:35,870
[Speaker 0]
the road at all. You know, I I

234
00:12:35,870 --> 00:12:37,390
[Speaker 0]
think I would have a hard time, you

235
00:12:37,390 --> 00:12:39,150
[Speaker 0]
know, if I was on the road all

236
00:12:39,150 --> 00:12:41,150
[Speaker 0]
the time and then all of a sudden

237
00:12:41,150 --> 00:12:43,790
[Speaker 0]
I wasn't. I might, I might miss that

238
00:12:43,790 --> 00:12:46,635
[Speaker 0]
a little bit. But, you know, I guess,

239
00:12:46,955 --> 00:12:48,875
[Speaker 0]
each to their own. I get, you know,

240
00:12:48,875 --> 00:12:51,274
[Speaker 0]
being as a truck driver, I imagine being

241
00:12:51,274 --> 00:12:54,555
[Speaker 0]
home was is where you wanna be a

242
00:12:54,555 --> 00:12:56,315
[Speaker 0]
lot of the time, so maybe he's just

243
00:12:56,315 --> 00:12:58,589
[Speaker 0]
not tired of that yet. Plus he got

244
00:12:58,589 --> 00:13:00,730
[Speaker 0]
a dog and, you know, getting a dog,

245
00:13:01,589 --> 00:13:04,550
[Speaker 0]
you know, that's you're you're in charge of

246
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:07,670
[Speaker 0]
a whole other entity. You know, it's it's

247
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:10,845
[Speaker 0]
not like just being single and and you

248
00:13:10,845 --> 00:13:13,165
[Speaker 0]
do whatever you want. You you gotta think

249
00:13:13,165 --> 00:13:16,845
[Speaker 0]
about, the critter. It's with us. You know?

250
00:13:16,845 --> 00:13:18,764
[Speaker 0]
We we can't just pick up and go

251
00:13:18,764 --> 00:13:20,204
[Speaker 0]
all the time because, you know, we got

252
00:13:20,204 --> 00:13:24,930
[Speaker 0]
the dog to worry about, and that's just,

253
00:13:25,089 --> 00:13:27,250
[Speaker 0]
you know, just how it is. You know,

254
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:31,190
[Speaker 0]
you you choose that kind of thing. And,

255
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:35,890
[Speaker 0]
somebody just pulled in my driveway. Oh, my

256
00:13:35,890 --> 00:13:40,095
[Speaker 0]
neighbor. Okay. Cool. Anyway, I shouldn't have my

257
00:13:40,095 --> 00:13:43,295
[Speaker 0]
camera up while I'm, podcasting here. I am

258
00:13:43,295 --> 00:13:47,055
[Speaker 0]
thinking about doing the, Napod promo again this

259
00:13:47,055 --> 00:13:49,454
[Speaker 0]
year, although I wanna do it a little

260
00:13:49,454 --> 00:13:52,700
[Speaker 0]
differently. You know, you used to be when

261
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,220
[Speaker 0]
I would do that, I I would just,

262
00:13:54,220 --> 00:13:56,140
[Speaker 0]
you know, do a little short episode every

263
00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:59,500
[Speaker 0]
day and no theme to it. But I

264
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:02,220
[Speaker 0]
think I I wanna do a theme. Here,

265
00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:04,460
[Speaker 0]
let me go grab some paperwork here. Hang

266
00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:14,115
[Speaker 0]
on. Alright. Yeah. There we go. And kinda

267
00:14:14,115 --> 00:14:15,955
[Speaker 0]
what I'd like to do is, you know,

268
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:18,535
[Speaker 0]
this is gonna be life around Northern Michigan,

269
00:14:18,595 --> 00:14:21,320
[Speaker 0]
around Traverse City. And, you know, they are

270
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,400
[Speaker 0]
gonna be short episodes, but I'm gonna have

271
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,600
[Speaker 0]
them kinda mapped out. I've got, you know,

272
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,165
[Speaker 0]
a list of episodes here, like, you know,

273
00:14:33,165 --> 00:14:35,005
[Speaker 0]
one of them is called a beagle walk

274
00:14:35,005 --> 00:14:38,765
[Speaker 0]
through the crunchy leaves. So I'll go take

275
00:14:38,765 --> 00:14:40,765
[Speaker 0]
Benny and, go for a walk and put

276
00:14:40,765 --> 00:14:43,644
[Speaker 0]
on my portable recorder like I used to

277
00:14:43,644 --> 00:14:46,300
[Speaker 0]
do all the time and and, you know,

278
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:49,740
[Speaker 0]
just take a walk and and talk. You

279
00:14:49,740 --> 00:14:54,380
[Speaker 0]
know, another one, the road to Interlaken. You

280
00:14:54,380 --> 00:14:57,100
[Speaker 0]
probably know what Interlaken is, but, it's a

281
00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:01,415
[Speaker 0]
little town south of here. And, they're home

282
00:15:01,434 --> 00:15:05,514
[Speaker 0]
to a, art fine arts camp. And, you

283
00:15:05,514 --> 00:15:07,195
[Speaker 0]
know, I don't know. I think it'd be

284
00:15:07,195 --> 00:15:08,635
[Speaker 0]
kind of fun. It'd be kind of a,

285
00:15:09,435 --> 00:15:12,235
[Speaker 0]
a few of these will be remote from

286
00:15:12,235 --> 00:15:15,990
[Speaker 0]
the vehicle or from walking and all that,

287
00:15:16,370 --> 00:15:18,470
[Speaker 0]
you know, kinda what I used to do

288
00:15:19,170 --> 00:15:21,649
[Speaker 0]
back in the day. But, I'm gonna kind

289
00:15:21,649 --> 00:15:26,529
[Speaker 0]
of, you know, kind of, you know, talk

290
00:15:26,529 --> 00:15:29,430
[Speaker 0]
about stuff from around here. You know, that's

291
00:15:29,735 --> 00:15:31,835
[Speaker 0]
that's where I live. This is my world.

292
00:15:33,735 --> 00:15:37,255
[Speaker 0]
You know? Like, on Thanksgiving, I'll do a

293
00:15:37,255 --> 00:15:40,555
[Speaker 0]
Thanksgiving episode. Thanksgiving up north, you know, traditions,

294
00:15:40,775 --> 00:15:45,540
[Speaker 0]
food, weather, all that stuff. The last mowing

295
00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:47,800
[Speaker 0]
of the year, you know, talk about that.

296
00:15:48,259 --> 00:15:50,579
[Speaker 0]
Snow tires and salt trucks. You know, I've

297
00:15:50,579 --> 00:15:53,860
[Speaker 0]
got these kinda mapped out, what I wanna

298
00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:56,865
[Speaker 0]
do on what day. And, you know, I

299
00:15:56,865 --> 00:15:58,785
[Speaker 0]
might record a few of them ahead of

300
00:15:58,785 --> 00:16:01,585
[Speaker 0]
time and then, some of the remote ones,

301
00:16:01,585 --> 00:16:04,145
[Speaker 0]
you know, record right around the the day

302
00:16:04,145 --> 00:16:07,265
[Speaker 0]
they go out. But, you know, it's, in

303
00:16:07,265 --> 00:16:10,145
[Speaker 0]
case you're not familiar with NAPOD POMO, that's

304
00:16:10,145 --> 00:16:13,320
[Speaker 0]
National Podcast Posting Month, and it's over at

305
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:19,720
[Speaker 0]
napod pomo dot org. And, Jennifer Navarante, and

306
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,460
[Speaker 0]
I think I pronounced her name mostly right.

307
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,160
[Speaker 0]
She kinda spearheads that, and I think it's

308
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,745
[Speaker 0]
the eighteenth year, Something like that. I know

309
00:16:28,745 --> 00:16:32,665
[Speaker 0]
it's been, quite a while. Let me look

310
00:16:32,665 --> 00:16:37,404
[Speaker 0]
it up. A pod, po mo dot org.

311
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:41,950
[Speaker 0]
And see if I typed everything right. Yeah.

312
00:16:41,950 --> 00:16:44,589
[Speaker 0]
So this is the eighteenth year. So since

313
00:16:44,589 --> 00:16:48,029
[Speaker 0]
two thousand seven, and basically, it's a challenge

314
00:16:48,029 --> 00:16:51,310
[Speaker 0]
for podcasters to post thirty episodes in thirty

315
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:53,970
[Speaker 0]
days. You know, November first through the thirtieth.

316
00:16:54,670 --> 00:16:57,925
[Speaker 0]
And, you know, really, you know, there's no

317
00:16:57,925 --> 00:17:00,404
[Speaker 0]
real purpose to it other than, hey. Why

318
00:17:00,404 --> 00:17:02,564
[Speaker 0]
not? And, you know, I might be able

319
00:17:02,564 --> 00:17:05,125
[Speaker 0]
to put a I did it badge on

320
00:17:05,125 --> 00:17:10,510
[Speaker 0]
my website. So stay tuned for that. I

321
00:17:10,510 --> 00:17:12,669
[Speaker 0]
think I am gonna do that. The first

322
00:17:12,669 --> 00:17:16,769
[Speaker 0]
episode will be November first, and, yeah. Gonna

323
00:17:16,830 --> 00:17:21,375
[Speaker 0]
explain all this again. So, but I'll explain

324
00:17:21,375 --> 00:17:23,695
[Speaker 0]
it a little bit more. You know, this

325
00:17:23,695 --> 00:17:26,655
[Speaker 0]
will be a series of thirty episodes all

326
00:17:26,655 --> 00:17:32,195
[Speaker 0]
about, November up north. So whether you're interested

327
00:17:32,255 --> 00:17:34,595
[Speaker 0]
or not, well, I appreciate you hanging out

328
00:17:34,735 --> 00:17:38,570
[Speaker 0]
and and listening anyway, but should be fun.

329
00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:40,950
[Speaker 0]
Again, like I said, I get to do

330
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:44,310
[Speaker 0]
a little bit of, a little bit of

331
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:46,550
[Speaker 0]
sound seeing tours. You know? I I don't

332
00:17:46,550 --> 00:17:48,950
[Speaker 0]
know. This can been kinda nostalgia week for

333
00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:51,615
[Speaker 0]
me too, and and, I think I had

334
00:17:51,615 --> 00:17:54,495
[Speaker 0]
a episode about nostalgia being a being a,

335
00:17:55,695 --> 00:17:58,575
[Speaker 0]
a disease. If you take it to the

336
00:17:58,575 --> 00:18:01,295
[Speaker 0]
extreme, I guess it could be, but, and

337
00:18:01,295 --> 00:18:03,475
[Speaker 0]
I guess that's the the basis of hoarding

338
00:18:03,935 --> 00:18:08,600
[Speaker 0]
is nostalgia, but, that's not what I'm doing

339
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,640
[Speaker 0]
here. I you know? But, you know, back

340
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,640
[Speaker 0]
in the day when podcasting was new, there

341
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,160
[Speaker 0]
was a lot of people doing what they

342
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:23,995
[Speaker 0]
called sound seeing tours. Father Roderick did, episodes

343
00:18:23,995 --> 00:18:27,195
[Speaker 0]
from the Vatican walking around with his, Sony

344
00:18:27,195 --> 00:18:30,955
[Speaker 0]
minidisc recorder and, you know, when they were,

345
00:18:30,955 --> 00:18:33,034
[Speaker 0]
you know, picking the new pope after pope

346
00:18:33,034 --> 00:18:37,200
[Speaker 0]
John Paul died. And, that was very interesting.

347
00:18:37,260 --> 00:18:39,280
[Speaker 0]
Even if you aren't a Catholic, it was

348
00:18:39,340 --> 00:18:41,500
[Speaker 0]
a Catholic insider, I think, was what he

349
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:44,560
[Speaker 0]
called it. But, I believe he's still podcasting.

350
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,625
[Speaker 0]
He is a podcast hall of famer. But,

351
00:18:48,625 --> 00:18:51,905
[Speaker 0]
you know, that's interesting. Speaking of that, you

352
00:18:51,905 --> 00:18:54,705
[Speaker 0]
know, with Todd passing away, the a lot

353
00:18:54,705 --> 00:18:56,865
[Speaker 0]
of the travel is going to fall on

354
00:18:56,865 --> 00:19:00,460
[Speaker 0]
me for these conferences. Now I did plenty

355
00:19:00,460 --> 00:19:03,179
[Speaker 0]
of them anyway, but, I'm gonna have to

356
00:19:03,179 --> 00:19:05,659
[Speaker 0]
pick up a few extra ones. And, I

357
00:19:05,659 --> 00:19:09,100
[Speaker 0]
do have a speaking gig in Florida in

358
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:11,100
[Speaker 0]
January. It's a good time to go to

359
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:16,554
[Speaker 0]
Florida. So looking forward to that, sort of,

360
00:19:16,554 --> 00:19:18,654
[Speaker 0]
except for I gotta get my slides together.

361
00:19:18,875 --> 00:19:21,355
[Speaker 0]
But, we get a few months, so we're

362
00:19:21,355 --> 00:19:26,940
[Speaker 0]
good. Let's see. Okay. I've mentioned just about

363
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:33,640
[Speaker 0]
everything of any great consequence. Yeah. Just, just

364
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,580
[Speaker 0]
plugging along here and, trying to stay distressed.

365
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:39,965
[Speaker 0]
No. So like I said, I I do

366
00:19:39,965 --> 00:19:45,405
[Speaker 0]
want your your suggestions for distressing, you know,

367
00:19:45,405 --> 00:19:47,645
[Speaker 0]
within reason. Yeah. I'm not gonna go run

368
00:19:47,645 --> 00:19:51,165
[Speaker 0]
a marathon or or, you know, walk twenty

369
00:19:51,165 --> 00:19:54,150
[Speaker 0]
miles or go to the gym. God forbid.

370
00:19:54,290 --> 00:19:56,210
[Speaker 0]
No. Actually, I am thinking about joining the

371
00:19:56,210 --> 00:20:01,970
[Speaker 0]
gym, but for other reasons. But, anyway and

372
00:20:01,970 --> 00:20:04,370
[Speaker 0]
I guess podcasting helps too, you know, getting

373
00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:06,370
[Speaker 0]
a little of this off your chest without

374
00:20:06,370 --> 00:20:08,105
[Speaker 0]
going into detail. Like I said, I I

375
00:20:08,105 --> 00:20:10,105
[Speaker 0]
could go into a lot more detail, but,

376
00:20:10,505 --> 00:20:12,905
[Speaker 0]
I don't wanna do that because, you know,

377
00:20:12,905 --> 00:20:18,185
[Speaker 0]
some things shall remain private. But, yeah, it's

378
00:20:18,185 --> 00:20:21,225
[Speaker 0]
it's very cool. One of the discussions I've

379
00:20:21,225 --> 00:20:25,360
[Speaker 0]
been having lately with, you know, teammates and

380
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:27,760
[Speaker 0]
other podcasters and all that is the role

381
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,040
[Speaker 0]
of AI in podcasting. Now I've done a

382
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,680
[Speaker 0]
fair amount of AI stuff. You know, I

383
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,000
[Speaker 0]
even did an experimental episode where I had

384
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,545
[Speaker 0]
the AI read it as me. I don't

385
00:20:38,545 --> 00:20:41,665
[Speaker 0]
know. It didn't sound good. But a lot

386
00:20:41,665 --> 00:20:44,625
[Speaker 0]
of the, podcasting, you know, I think people

387
00:20:44,625 --> 00:20:49,505
[Speaker 0]
are gonna looking for authentic human voices, you

388
00:20:49,505 --> 00:20:53,710
[Speaker 0]
know, instead of the AI generated content, there's

389
00:20:53,710 --> 00:20:55,950
[Speaker 0]
a lot of AI generated content. You know,

390
00:20:55,950 --> 00:20:59,710
[Speaker 0]
YouTube is kind of my primary source of

391
00:20:59,710 --> 00:21:03,230
[Speaker 0]
television, you know, for the most part. I

392
00:21:03,230 --> 00:21:05,230
[Speaker 0]
mean, of course, I still watch Star Trek.

393
00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:06,990
[Speaker 0]
My my wife and I, you know, go

394
00:21:06,990 --> 00:21:08,885
[Speaker 0]
through all the series in Star Trek, and

395
00:21:08,885 --> 00:21:11,445
[Speaker 0]
that's kind of our our thing. And I

396
00:21:11,445 --> 00:21:14,885
[Speaker 0]
think we're on the second round of of

397
00:21:14,885 --> 00:21:18,005
[Speaker 0]
two and all of them. We're currently in,

398
00:21:19,045 --> 00:21:23,220
[Speaker 0]
Star Trek Voyager six season, in case you're

399
00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:26,840
[Speaker 0]
keeping track. But, we're watching them in chronological

400
00:21:27,220 --> 00:21:30,980
[Speaker 0]
order, not, chronological in the story sense, but

401
00:21:30,980 --> 00:21:34,740
[Speaker 0]
chronological in when they came out, to the

402
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:37,425
[Speaker 0]
public. So we're up to Voyager. The next

403
00:21:37,425 --> 00:21:42,625
[Speaker 0]
one will be Enterprise, and then, I guess

404
00:21:42,625 --> 00:21:45,905
[Speaker 0]
the next one would be Discovery. You know?

405
00:21:45,905 --> 00:21:47,985
[Speaker 0]
We we watched Discovery when it was first

406
00:21:47,985 --> 00:21:53,559
[Speaker 0]
run on Paramount plus or CBS, whatever. I

407
00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:55,820
[Speaker 0]
don't know. It's changed names a couple times.

408
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,240
[Speaker 0]
It's on Paramount plus now. So we'll probably

409
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,039
[Speaker 0]
watch that through and then, you know, just

410
00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:04,645
[Speaker 0]
keep going through the series. And by the

411
00:22:04,645 --> 00:22:07,225
[Speaker 0]
time we get back to the original series,

412
00:22:08,325 --> 00:22:10,565
[Speaker 0]
we'll have forgotten most of it. And and

413
00:22:10,565 --> 00:22:12,645
[Speaker 0]
I've noticed that with Voyager, we'll we'll both

414
00:22:12,645 --> 00:22:14,325
[Speaker 0]
sit there and go like, I don't remember

415
00:22:14,325 --> 00:22:16,965
[Speaker 0]
this episode. And then halfway through, oh, yeah.

416
00:22:16,965 --> 00:22:19,450
[Speaker 0]
I kinda remember it, and I sorta remember

417
00:22:19,450 --> 00:22:23,450
[Speaker 0]
it. It's kind of amazing that, you know,

418
00:22:23,450 --> 00:22:25,529
[Speaker 0]
in that many years ago, we watched it,

419
00:22:25,529 --> 00:22:27,850
[Speaker 0]
and, and here we are watching it again.

420
00:22:27,850 --> 00:22:30,330
[Speaker 0]
And, you know, there's a lot of track

421
00:22:30,330 --> 00:22:34,025
[Speaker 0]
out there for sure. But, anyway, as get

422
00:22:34,025 --> 00:22:36,745
[Speaker 0]
back to YouTube, a lot of times, you

423
00:22:36,745 --> 00:22:40,185
[Speaker 0]
know, YouTube will suggest a video, and you

424
00:22:40,185 --> 00:22:41,785
[Speaker 0]
you start on the video. And you can

425
00:22:41,785 --> 00:22:45,645
[Speaker 0]
tell, obviously, that it's just AI generate slideshow

426
00:22:45,865 --> 00:22:49,490
[Speaker 0]
and stock video. And I really try to,

427
00:22:49,970 --> 00:22:52,530
[Speaker 0]
thumbs down those and and and bail on

428
00:22:52,530 --> 00:22:53,970
[Speaker 0]
them, but some of them are pretty good,

429
00:22:53,970 --> 00:22:56,710
[Speaker 0]
I have to say. But I much prefer

430
00:22:56,770 --> 00:23:02,835
[Speaker 0]
the actual humans talking, you know, or, you

431
00:23:02,835 --> 00:23:04,595
[Speaker 0]
know, I might have got fooled a few

432
00:23:04,595 --> 00:23:06,995
[Speaker 0]
times with the you know? But there's, you

433
00:23:06,995 --> 00:23:09,815
[Speaker 0]
know, some AI voices out there that immediately

434
00:23:09,875 --> 00:23:11,435
[Speaker 0]
you just know that that, oh, yeah. That's

435
00:23:11,435 --> 00:23:13,235
[Speaker 0]
the AI guy. You know? It's a good

436
00:23:13,235 --> 00:23:15,315
[Speaker 0]
voice and all that, but it's the AI

437
00:23:15,315 --> 00:23:18,530
[Speaker 0]
guy. So I I really try not to,

438
00:23:18,930 --> 00:23:21,890
[Speaker 0]
watch those. And then amazing thing was all

439
00:23:21,890 --> 00:23:28,070
[Speaker 0]
a clickbait. Oh my gosh. It's, you know,

440
00:23:28,735 --> 00:23:30,654
[Speaker 0]
So and so is in jail, you know,

441
00:23:30,654 --> 00:23:32,575
[Speaker 0]
and and they'll, you know, go through the

442
00:23:32,575 --> 00:23:34,095
[Speaker 0]
whole you know? And I'll watch it just

443
00:23:34,095 --> 00:23:35,774
[Speaker 0]
because, oh, really? Are they? You know? And

444
00:23:35,774 --> 00:23:38,914
[Speaker 0]
and I I watch a guy on there,

445
00:23:39,695 --> 00:23:44,900
[Speaker 0]
Derek Berry, vice grip garage. And, he puts

446
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:47,140
[Speaker 0]
out an episode every Friday, and, you know,

447
00:23:47,140 --> 00:23:48,740
[Speaker 0]
a lot of the times, he's finding an

448
00:23:48,740 --> 00:23:52,180
[Speaker 0]
old car somewhere, fixing it, getting it on

449
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:55,059
[Speaker 0]
the road, and driving it home seven hundred

450
00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:57,780
[Speaker 0]
miles or a thousand miles or whatever, you

451
00:23:57,780 --> 00:24:01,485
[Speaker 0]
know, from the junkyard. And, you know, that

452
00:24:01,565 --> 00:24:04,125
[Speaker 0]
that's interesting stuff, but, you know, he's got

453
00:24:04,125 --> 00:24:07,004
[Speaker 0]
a very successful YouTube page. And every once

454
00:24:07,004 --> 00:24:08,924
[Speaker 0]
in a our YouTube page. I hate the

455
00:24:08,924 --> 00:24:11,804
[Speaker 0]
word page when it comes to YouTube. It's

456
00:24:11,804 --> 00:24:14,830
[Speaker 0]
not a page. It's a channel. Anyway and

457
00:24:14,830 --> 00:24:16,350
[Speaker 0]
I just did it. But he's got a

458
00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:22,929
[Speaker 0]
very successful YouTube channel. There's, you know, clickbait

459
00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:26,909
[Speaker 0]
AI videos on there. Derek Berry sends to

460
00:24:26,909 --> 00:24:29,005
[Speaker 0]
life. You know? And then you go, and

461
00:24:29,005 --> 00:24:33,185
[Speaker 0]
it's just basically a really crappy AI tutorial

462
00:24:33,805 --> 00:24:37,085
[Speaker 0]
or a a bio of him, and, you

463
00:24:37,085 --> 00:24:38,605
[Speaker 0]
know, nowhere in there does it say he

464
00:24:38,605 --> 00:24:43,110
[Speaker 0]
went to jail. So I hope, YouTube can

465
00:24:43,410 --> 00:24:45,170
[Speaker 0]
crack down on that crap or at least

466
00:24:45,170 --> 00:24:48,210
[Speaker 0]
make it so they're not monetized. You know?

467
00:24:48,210 --> 00:24:52,930
[Speaker 0]
It's or maybe, you know, this is AI.

468
00:24:52,930 --> 00:24:54,450
[Speaker 0]
You know, I have a big tag or

469
00:24:54,450 --> 00:24:56,534
[Speaker 0]
something. You know? But, you know, for most

470
00:24:56,695 --> 00:24:58,715
[Speaker 0]
for the most part, I can tell still.

471
00:24:59,014 --> 00:25:01,195
[Speaker 0]
You know, it hasn't got that good yet.

472
00:25:01,654 --> 00:25:04,934
[Speaker 0]
Although in, Trucker Tom's episode, he did did

473
00:25:04,934 --> 00:25:07,654
[Speaker 0]
a a a segment where he put a

474
00:25:07,654 --> 00:25:09,995
[Speaker 0]
bunch of his writings in there and then

475
00:25:10,250 --> 00:25:15,050
[Speaker 0]
had the AI create an interview, of, you

476
00:25:15,050 --> 00:25:19,290
[Speaker 0]
know, two two AI individuals, and that sounded

477
00:25:19,290 --> 00:25:21,530
[Speaker 0]
quite good. I mean, I could tell it

478
00:25:21,530 --> 00:25:25,215
[Speaker 0]
was not, you know, not real people, but

479
00:25:25,215 --> 00:25:27,955
[Speaker 0]
it was it it's getting more convincing. So,

480
00:25:28,254 --> 00:25:30,595
[Speaker 0]
yeah, we're kinda wrestling with that at Blueberry.

481
00:25:30,735 --> 00:25:33,215
[Speaker 0]
We have AI tools. In fact, you read

482
00:25:33,215 --> 00:25:35,534
[Speaker 0]
the show notes of this episode, and I

483
00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:38,730
[Speaker 0]
probably will use AI, and the transcript will

484
00:25:38,730 --> 00:25:41,930
[Speaker 0]
be AI. So you gotta listen to it.

485
00:25:41,930 --> 00:25:44,090
[Speaker 0]
This is an audio medium. Most people don't

486
00:25:44,090 --> 00:25:48,810
[Speaker 0]
read the stuff you write anyway, but, you

487
00:25:48,810 --> 00:25:51,550
[Speaker 0]
know, I I use our tools to, create

488
00:25:52,235 --> 00:25:54,715
[Speaker 0]
the show notes. Why not? You know, it

489
00:25:54,715 --> 00:25:56,635
[Speaker 0]
just saves me a step, and I'm not

490
00:25:56,635 --> 00:26:01,115
[Speaker 0]
that great a writer. So, anyway, I guess,

491
00:26:01,675 --> 00:26:03,515
[Speaker 0]
I wanted to get that little part about

492
00:26:03,515 --> 00:26:07,570
[Speaker 0]
AI in there. And, yeah. So what is

493
00:26:07,570 --> 00:26:09,410
[Speaker 0]
it? The twenty seventh. So I got, you

494
00:26:09,410 --> 00:26:12,230
[Speaker 0]
know, four days, five days, four days, anyway,

495
00:26:12,690 --> 00:26:15,670
[Speaker 0]
and you'll hear the first episode of my

496
00:26:16,290 --> 00:26:19,644
[Speaker 0]
November up north series on Mike Dell's World

497
00:26:19,644 --> 00:26:23,404
[Speaker 0]
for Napaad Pomo. Ninety percent sure I'm gonna

498
00:26:23,404 --> 00:26:27,024
[Speaker 0]
do it. So, stay tuned. Thanks for listening.

499
00:26:27,245 --> 00:26:29,558
[Speaker 0]
Thanks for all that stuff, and you can
