Speaker 6210.68s - 212.72s

AITION all artists.

Speaker 7214.76s - 215.64s

Music is dead.

Speaker 6215.72s - 215.84s

Yeah.

Speaker 7216.66s - 217.12s

It is.

Speaker 6217.24s - 219.34s

That took 12 seconds to do.

Speaker 7219.46s - 222.54s

Every white guy that owns a furniture store is making a furniture song

Speaker 6222.54s - 228.36s

and he dancing in front of it. I wear selling chairs and futons. If you used to sell jingles

Speaker 7228.36s - 233.34s

to corporations, you're done. I mean, yeah, you are finished fast.

Speaker 8234.14s - 236.06s

I mean, it's happening tomorrow.

Speaker 7236.4s - 239.04s

I want a little more. It's already happening. For the bacon cake. For him.

Speaker 6239.34s - 241.5s

I'm doing this for Eric PERSON. A little more for Eric. Here we go.

Speaker 7244s - 254s

It even gives you like a little instrumental if you want to like, oh, oh, junior mafia. Oh, oh, Big Papa eating bacon every day. Oh, yeah, I think it's just going to ride it.

Speaker 6254.3s - 255.94s

Uncle Jesse from Full House WORK_OF_ART.

Speaker 7256.24s - 259.7s

They were jingle riders. His job was Jingle Rider. That job was the job.

Speaker 1260.7s - 262.46s

So it's a guy from two and a half men, right?

Speaker 7263.22s - 263.58s

Was it?

Speaker 1263.6s - 264.96s

Yeah, I think he's a jingle writer, wasn't it?

Speaker 7264.96s - 271.8s

I think most single guys that needed a beard to show people that they were not involved in pedophilia were jingle records, right?

Speaker 6271.9s - 272.48s

All of them.

Speaker 7272.66s - 273.7s

Every single one of them.

Speaker 6273.82s - 278.54s

So our guest for a weird job today is Eric Godfrey, aka the Bacon King PERSON.

Speaker 1278.54s - 280.02s

The Bacon, Kevin PERSON. Give you a blast.

Speaker 7280.12s - 281.2s

Well, thank you very much.

Speaker 6281.32s - 284.56s

I make sausage, too, but I'm not going to call myself the other sausage king.

Speaker 0284.6s - 286.5s

Should have grabbed it when he said that. You didn't grab it when you very much. I make sausage, too, but I'm not going to call myself the other sausage king. Should have grabbed it when he said that.

Speaker 7287.12s - 288.66s

You didn't grab it when you said that.

Speaker 0288.94s - 292.22s

If you ever want a castle, unfortunately, that's taken it.

Speaker 7293.54s - 295.02s

You're going to have the sausage house.

Speaker 6296.22s - 299.04s

So, Eric PERSON, how did you become the baking king?

Speaker 7299.46s - 308.18s

Well, long story short, I had a very good friend of mine next to our neighbor who love to make pork belly burnt ends, which is made from the pork belly, which is what bacon makes from.

Speaker 0308.26s - 308.44s

Sure.

Speaker 7308.5s - 308.7s

Okay.

Speaker 0309.16s - 313.58s

And you're kind of limited to what you can do with the type of, based on the type of sauce.

Speaker 7313.64s - 316.78s

There's really only three or four different basic kinds of sauce to use for it.

Speaker 0317s - 321.52s

So I had a little slab of pork belly at home, and I started realizing, I wonder if I can make this into bacon.

Speaker 6321.62s - 325.14s

So I did a little research, found a recipe, did it, and it turned out so good.

Speaker 1325.68s - 326.94s

I created a business from it.

Speaker 6327.04s - 327.38s

All right.

Speaker 7327.6s - 328.46s

Isn't that like what?

Speaker 0329.18s - 334.26s

It sounds very similar to most of the time when I have a friend that goes and has a treat they like.

Speaker 7334.3s - 335.12s

And they're like, you know what?

Speaker 1335.4s - 339.46s

I'm going to take the time to do it right and make my own treat.

Speaker 6339.88s - 351.38s

And then I have endless amounts of friends that just like you. Jesse Wolf PERSON did this. Yeah, Jesse Wolf PERSON. He's like, I made this hummus. It's my treat. And he's like, God damn, this hummus is amazingly good.By the way, turn that into millions of dollars.

Speaker 1351.98s - 361.36s

I just saw him this morning. I just saw him this morning. That's awesome. You know, and that would be a wonderful thing to do is to be able to make this into something really huge. But right now, we're just having fun with it.

Speaker 7361.4s - 361.62s

Okay.

Speaker 6361.78s - 363.6s

So you still, that was us in the podcast.

Speaker 7363.72s - 364.94s

Now we sucked all the fun out of it.

Speaker 8366.54s - 367.94s

That's what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 6368.14s - 369.94s

You take what you love.

Speaker 8370.02s - 372.08s

And you stomp all the money out of it.

Speaker 6372.08s - 372.3s

Yeah.

Speaker 7372.84s - 382.9s

Then you ring every cent out of it. And while you're ringing, that ringing is stressed. And Eric PERSON, right now we're on the nostalgia downhill. Like we're on the...

Speaker 6382.9s - 383.92s

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8384.22s - 384.96s

We're at the bottom.

Speaker 6385.84s - 386.72s

Started at the bottom. Now we're back here. We're on the nostalgia downhill. Like, we're on the, yeah. Oh, yeah, we're at the bottom. Started at the bottom.

Speaker 7386.84s - 387.92s

Now we're back here.

Speaker 6388s - 391.22s

We're skiing across the water, spring break.

Speaker 7391.48s - 392.9s

You see the videos.

Speaker 6393.76s - 395.24s

After that, the snow is gone.

Speaker 7395.4s - 395.88s

Okay, so.

Speaker 6395.96s - 396.64s

No more skiing.

Speaker 7396.76s - 398.44s

So you start doing this in your life.

Speaker 6398.44s - 399.94s

Well, I can make this bigger.

Speaker 7400.06s - 401s

I can make this bigger.

Speaker 6401s - 402.84s

And I started making bacon for my friends.

Speaker 7403.18s - 408.52s

I would thoroughly enjoyed making it, slicing it, taking it to work, giving it to my friends, getting their response the next day.

Speaker 6408.62s - 409.74s

Everyone seemed to love it.

Speaker 7409.96s - 422.88s

So I started creating different recipes, and my whole idea was to be able to have a business where if you like a specific spice, if you like a specific flavor, if you're from Louisiana and you like Cajun NORP food, I can make Cajun bacon.

Speaker 6423.24s - 426.42s

Or if you like any type of specific spice, I can do it.

Speaker 1426.62s - 428.06s

That's how the idea got started.

Speaker 6428.24s - 431.7s

And then about the time I was making the website, my wife goes, hey, I'm going out with

Speaker 1431.7s - 432.32s

some friends tonight.

Speaker 7432.38s - 433.6s

We're going to go drink wine and paint.

Speaker 0434.16s - 436.66s

You know, one of those paint deals where you go and you pay the money and you paint

Speaker 7436.66s - 442.08s

and you grab their arm very angrily. You aren't going nowhere.

Speaker 1442.42s - 450s

Because you're going to help me come up. If you can drink wine and paint, why can't we drink beer and make bacon? And that's what came up with the idea For the Bacon King FAC experience

Speaker 7450s - 457.82s

Where we actually have people come in And I give them a five pound slab of pork belly And I teach them how to make bacon And they get to take it home with them

Speaker 6457.82s - 459.22s

All right so let's talk about this

Speaker 7459.22s - 461.4s

Than painting some stupid ostrich

Speaker 6461.4s - 464s

I got an ostrich hanging in my house

Speaker 7464s - 467.16s

You have one bacon You have one you can't screw it up.

Speaker 6467.38s - 472.62s

You cannot screw it up. I didn't hang. I was like, this is not that good.

Speaker 7473.62s - 477s

Yeah, we have a dumb, multicolored ostriches. Everybody paints.

Speaker 6477.28s - 484.18s

You can't just go. It's a red, yellow, green, blue ostriches, and the one of the ostriches is holding a heart. It's as stupid. Everybody has it.

Speaker 7484.2s - 492.04s

If you go to a bachelor's party with your girlfriends, a drink wine and paint an ostrich, I am not hanging that up in my house. No. Straight to the garage.

Speaker 8492.2s - 493.12s

No, you were drunk.

Speaker 6493.2s - 496.46s

To hang art, like, that artist needs to work for years.

Speaker 8496.58s - 497.5s

You can't just go on.

Speaker 6497.5s - 501.08s

I'm not going to hang a stupid ostrich painting when AI can make an amazing painting.

Speaker 7501.7s - 504.42s

So, let's talk about, like, the actual recipe.

Speaker 6505.12s - 512.18s

So, now, does the quality of the bacon, I'm sure, changes per the quality of the animal, right?

Speaker 7512.18s - 514.66s

So, like, you know, so you have a slam hog bacon.

Speaker 6514.78s - 521.94s

It's the lowest quality bacon. So, like, you have a farm-raised pig that's, you know, eaten clean its entire life.

Speaker 7522.02s - 528.64s

You're not lived in a factory. You can check it. It's like, this, this, like, every, this pig drinks a J-Rob PRODUCT protein shake.

Speaker 6528.64s - 534.56s

I know that meat will taste better, but there's more of that because then you're adding spice

Speaker 7534.56s - 535.76s

and so what goes into it.

Speaker 1535.82s - 535.98s

Correct.

Speaker 7536.1s - 541.44s

So the main portion of it is what we call the cure, which is a combination of salt and a

Speaker 1541.44s - 543.3s

curing salt, which is a sodium nitrate.

Speaker 6543.86s - 546.84s

Oh, I thought you meant the 80s alternative rock tape.

Speaker 7547.96s - 550.22s

I blast that in the pig's ears.

Speaker 1552.16s - 556.3s

Every time I see you call it like it.

Speaker 8556.42s - 558.58s

Until it gets so stressed out it dies.

Speaker 1558.8s - 560.02s

And then the bacon tastes great.

Speaker 6560.16s - 561.12s

Actually, I think I was singing.

Speaker 8561.3s - 562.58s

I don't think I was singing the cure.

Speaker 7562.96s - 564.24s

Yeah, I don't think it was either.

Speaker 6564.38s - 565.52s

That guy did not age well either the cure. Yeah, I don't think it was either.

Speaker 7566.96s - 568.08s

That guy did not age well either.

Speaker 6569.6s - 569.82s

Michael, Robert Smith PERSON?

Speaker 7570.24s - 570.5s

Robert Smith PERSON?

Speaker 6574.54s - 579.54s

So how you cure the actual bacon makes a difference in the ending result? Sure, and also has to do with the amount of the cure that you're putting in, because, you know, the stuff you get at the store, it's just pump full of chemicals.

Speaker 7579.84s - 580.1s

Okay.

Speaker 6580.22s - 587.28s

It literally goes from a pork belly into a bacon and as little as 30 minutes, And if that's the case, there's a lot of chemical processes going on.

Speaker 1587.72s - 591.14s

Well, what we do is we measure out the cure based on the weight of the pork belly,

Speaker 7591.46s - 593.76s

and then we go through a 10-day cure process.

Speaker 6594s - 595.08s

It's a much longer process.

Speaker 1595.22s - 596.04s

It's a slower process.

Speaker 7596.04s - 600.52s

And actually, we use the least amount of cure allowable by the FDA ORG,

Speaker 1600.98s - 604.44s

and it gives us the cure without putting too much chemical into it.

Speaker 6604.48s - 607.06s

So if there is a healthier bacon, this is it.

Speaker 8607.32s - 607.62s

All right.

Speaker 6607.96s - 608.46s

Interesting.

Speaker 8608.74s - 611.24s

Now, by the way, I'm a little bit different than other people.

Speaker 6611.38s - 612.28s

I love chemicals.

Speaker 8612.58s - 614.76s

Yeah, I was going to say when you said pump full of chemicals.

Speaker 6614.96s - 624.32s

I am pumped for a chemical. Give me all the chemicals you want better life. As you modern-day technology is chemicals to me.

Speaker 8624.32s - 626.06s

Yeah, AI is just digital chemicals.

Speaker 6627.18s - 628.54s

No, I'm joking. I love it.

Speaker 8628.72s - 636.66s

So, like, the longer curing process, the more healthy curing process makes a difference with the quality and taste of the bacon.

Speaker 1636.66s - 645.8s

I believe so. And, you know, I went through and I tried to find, like, the perfect time to let the cure. I've done six days, seven days. I've done 14 days. I just think 10 days is just the perfect number.

Speaker 7645.98s - 653.66s

Okay. And it worked that well. And then so... Yeah, it's like smoking meats, right? Like some people, like, they put this amount of smoke on there.

Speaker 1653.66s - 666.84s

They let it, they might let it in its, in whatever they're marinating in. Like, they leave it in for this amount. Like, yeah, it's all different little... Correct. And I tell people in the classes, you know, I tell them to smoke it at $2.25, but if you like it smokier, smoke it at $200.

Speaker 6667s - 683s

If you like it less smoke, he smoked at $250. So it spends less time or more time in the smoke, depending what you like. Okay, so that led me to my next question, which is the cooking process. And so your bacon is smoked? Correct. Okay. And is that the preferred method, in your opinion...

Speaker 1683s - 692.06s

In the higher-end bacon? Yeah, if you're going to have a smoked meat product, the way to do it is the actual smoke. Now, some of the lower-end bacon you get at the store, they say it's smoked, but it's usually liquid smoke.

Speaker 8692.18s - 692.36s

Yeah.

Speaker 1692.44s - 706.74s

It's just sprayed on. And really, when you think about it, look at the bacon, you get at the store. The only difference is the type of smoke it's smoked in. It's hickory, it's pecan, it's apple. But that's the only difference because the rest of it's just salt, which our bacon is a lot different because we actually use spices in the curing process.

Speaker 6707.38s - 711.52s

It is like bacon has been packaged the same way for so long.

Speaker 7711.52s - 716.88s

It makes me curious to why. Because like other foods. You got another way to package it?

Speaker 6717.12s - 720.74s

Well, other foods, the packaging has changed over time.

Speaker 7720.92s - 723.16s

And bacon has been the same since the 80s.

Speaker 6723.18s - 723.72s

And it's hard.

Speaker 0724.02s - 729.02s

It's a difficult for me. And you're right. You bring up something near to me.

Speaker 6729.02s - 742.46s

It's weird. I'm like, wait a minute. Why isn't the change? I cook a ton of bacon. It's amazing food. And I hate cooking it because of the packaging. I hate the packaging of bacon. So why has it remained the same for so long? You would think, like, okay, things evolved.

Speaker 7742.9s - 744.4s

How do you want it? You want it in a roll?

Speaker 6744.68s - 747.66s

No, I don't know. A roll would be nice. Like, a dispenser would be nice.

Speaker 1747.78s - 756.28s

Other foods have changed. The only real difference is now that sometimes they have pre-packaged cooked bacon, so you just have to heat it up. And that's the only thing that has changed over the last 40 or 50 years.

Speaker 7756.38s - 759.58s

That's like where you get a subway, you know, when you get the bacon on that

Speaker 1759.58s - 762.32s

sad ass sandwich and they pull that pre-cooked bacon out.

Speaker 6762.44s - 768.76s

Oh, God. Yuck. So, let's talk about how long, like, once bacon is cooked, how long is it good? Because it seems like...

Speaker 7768.76s - 771.16s

I am bacon in my pocket right now from three years ago.

Speaker 8771.36s - 780.88s

It seems like it will last a long time, and nothing really is going to happen to it. I guess some of the fat may create, like, collect some bacteria by you to eat that, right?

Speaker 1780.96s - 781.72s

Get some lint on it.

Speaker 0781.9s - 787.1s

Well, because it's cured, a lot of the moisture has been removed, which removes a lot of the bacteria and things like that.

Speaker 6787.12s - 799.64s

That's why when I ship bacon all over the country, I'm able to ship it without it being refrigerated because it is cured. Okay. And then how good does it last? Like, if you have this piece of bacon, can I leave it out for a week and then still good?

Speaker 1799.78s - 807.58s

After it's cooked, you can leave it out for a while. I wouldn't leave it out for that long. Before it's cooked, I would say five days. It's safe.

Speaker 7807.88s - 811.62s

You know, from what I found out in my refrigerator. We leave our bacon out for five days.

Speaker 1812s - 818.9s

And in my refrigerator, I've had bacon that I've packaged. It's been in my refrigerator for six months, and I pull it out, and it's still just as good as the day I brought it.

Speaker 7819.02s - 821.3s

It seems like it doesn't, it wouldn't go bad.

Speaker 6821.4s - 821.8s

It's magical.

Speaker 7821.8s - 823.84s

A piece of bacon was fine for a long time.

Speaker 1823.84s - 826.36s

You fry bacon in the morning. you come back later at dinner.

Speaker 7826.48s - 828.5s

There's still some bacon laying on the napkin, right?

Speaker 6828.6s - 829.26s

Sure. You're like, all right.

Speaker 7829.48s - 834.62s

So, give it to me. Technically, can bacon only be made from pork? No. Okay.

Speaker 1834.64s - 858.92s

Matter of fact, one of the samples I have from you is bacon comes from a cow. Cow bacon. Yeah, it's a cut called beef navel. It's the same cut they used to make pastrami. And we just do a full bacon cure on that. And so about 40% of the world's population will not eat pork bacon.Maybe they're allergic to it or maybe for religious reasons. Sure. So I want to make sure we got everybody covered. So we came up with a recipe for the beef bacon.

Speaker 7859.52s - 861.56s

I've seen that like at barbecue competitions.

Speaker 6861.74s - 870.92s

Yeah. You know, you'll see like some guys will do like, it's like a special thing. They'll be like, this is beef bacon. Something different. Yeah. Yeah.I always think that's weird. Like, I will not eat a hooved animal.

Speaker 7871.3s - 877.02s

You think you're better than me? Yeah, I'll eat everything. I eat it all. I eat all of it. Or if it's unclean, I'm like, yeah, they're animals.

Speaker 6877.08s - 885.24s

They're all unclean, right? Have you seen a chickens b. Horrible? I'm like this weird. Weirder if they have other types of feet. Like a hoof. I mean, I prefer if you cut their feet off before I have other types of feet. Like a hoof.

Speaker 7885.4s - 889.36s

I mean, I prefer if you cut their feet off before I see them.

Speaker 6889.46s - 891.86s

I don't want to see their horribly deformed feet.

Speaker 7891.86s - 893.16s

So you brought us some samples.

Speaker 6893.22s - 894.08s

I got you guys samples.

Speaker 7894.24s - 895.5s

So what is this first one?

Speaker 6895.5s - 895.62s

All right.

Speaker 7895.7s - 897.18s

So the one that I have marked number one.

Speaker 1897.26s - 898.8s

That is just our traditional bacon.

Speaker 6898.8s - 900.2s

That is our regular old lady in a farmland market.

Speaker 7900.52s - 903.06s

That is our traditional bacon.

Speaker 6903.26s - 905.54s

That's going to be the closest thing to what you would get at the store.

Speaker 7907.14s - 908.22s

Oh, my God.

Speaker 1908.94s - 909.46s

Wow.

Speaker 3909.98s - 911s

Holy S.

Speaker 7911.44s - 912.52s

That's some good stuff, isn't it?

Speaker 3912.52s - 912.82s

Yeah.

Speaker 7913.28s - 914.44s

And it only gets better.

Speaker 1914.62s - 915.64s

It takes a country ham to me.

Speaker 7915.78s - 916.56s

A little bit, yeah.

Speaker 1917.02s - 918.38s

Absolutely, it does.

Speaker 7918.38s - 919.42s

Oh, my God, dude.

Speaker 1919.42s - 926.04s

But it's got the cure, but it's also got some little paprika. It's got a little onion powder, garlic powder, some black pepper, red pepper flake.

Speaker 6926.76s - 937.18s

So, I'm just going to eat the whole gun. I mean, dude, that is good. So, let's talk a little bit about, like, the marketing of bacon, because I feel like it's gotten a bad wrap

Speaker 8937.18s - 939.46s

in the past, you know.

Speaker 7939.9s - 952.14s

They go back to the packaging. I see what you did there. More like 20 years ago, like, you know, the whole thing are like, oh, you eat bacon every morning, you're going to die. That's not bacon, man. That's like, that's like, damn, I wish that was a BLT.

Speaker 6952.3s - 952.94s

That needs some.

Speaker 1953.44s - 954.88s

Wait, wait to eat. Wait to do the next one.

Speaker 6954.88s - 956.08s

Because that's that thick boy bacon.

Speaker 1956.2s - 957.26s

That's like, that's meaty.

Speaker 6957.44s - 967.06s

So we'll let's talk about the, I guess, the marketing of bacon and why it was considered bad for you or like why everybody's like, oh, this guy eats a bunch of bacon every morning.

Speaker 7967.34s - 967.9s

And it does.

Speaker 6968.06s - 976.34s

Well, sodium is not bad for you unless you have high blood pressure. You know, it's like that's a myth too, too. Like, you can eat as much sodium as you want if you don't have a blood pressure problem.

Speaker 1976.34s - 1006.22s

It's a sodium nitrite that is what's bad for you. When we use, we use the pink curing salt, and the pink curing salt actually is about 96% is regular salt and about 4% sodium nitrite. So, I mean, sodium nitrite is so bad for you. If you have just straight sodium nitrite, about four grams, about half of an eighth of a teaspoon, or I guess it would be a 16th of a teaspoon. It could kill you just by itself.Really? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So the sodium nitrate is a very, very small amount that goes in, but that's part of the curing process that helps remove the bacteria and the botulism that is in all meats.

Speaker 61006.86s - 1011.84s

I think I could take a teaspoon and be fine. I'll get a stinger.

Speaker 81012.26s - 1013.5s

You have a resistance.

Speaker 61014.24s - 1014.34s

You have a resistance.

Speaker 11014.34s - 1015.98s

I can be like, ah.

Speaker 71016.02s - 1017.5s

Yeah, yeah, I think I could work through it.

Speaker 11017.58s - 1018.3s

I'll be like, ah.

Speaker 71019.1s - 1020.7s

His tongue poofed up.

Speaker 61020.8s - 1022.06s

Cut his tongue, just release his.

Speaker 71022.44s - 1027.1s

But that's, it's the nitrite that doctors say you have to avoid as much as possible.

Speaker 11027.22s - 1031.64s

And because there's nitrite and bacon, because it's a cured meat product, that's where it gets the bad wrap.

Speaker 61032.24s - 1033.16s

No pun intended.

Speaker 11033.36s - 1033.56s

Gotcha.

Speaker 61033.56s - 1042.96s

I imagine, like, the way, like, you pan-fried in its own grease, like, that's, you know, obviously worse than if you're smoking it because, right?

Speaker 11043.14s - 1045.54s

Well, the smoking is part of the curing process.

Speaker 71045.78s - 1047.76s

Once it gets smoked and you slice it and then

Speaker 61047.76s - 1049.9s

you fry it. Oh, okay. So, and then...

Speaker 71049.9s - 1052.12s

You're going to fry it, which is going to render out some fat

Speaker 61052.12s - 1054s

and then it's going to cook in its own fat, which is

Speaker 71054s - 1055.82s

what makes it crispy and yummy.

Speaker 11056.28s - 1057.56s

And just like anything

Speaker 61057.56s - 1061.56s

in moderation, but even back to...

Speaker 71061.56s - 1076.42s

Well, like I said, this reminds me more of like a piece of ham. In fact, I bet this would like register like dietarily closer to like a nice marbled piece of good quality ham would rather than a cheaper piece of bacon that's really just tons of sodium and fake smoke flavor.

Speaker 61076.42s - 1082.78s

But also, I think bread, if you talk to a nutritionist, bread is worse than this for you.

Speaker 71082.88s - 1084.56s

You know, like a bread and sugar.

Speaker 11084.9s - 1085.82s

The one you just ate is actually keto friendly. Okay. You know, like, our bread and sugar. The one you just

Speaker 71085.82s - 1087.32s

ate is actually keto-friendly.

Speaker 61087.82s - 1089.56s

Okay. There's no sugar at all.

Speaker 71089.68s - 1091.78s

Yeah, that's what I'm going to say. The next one is

Speaker 61091.78s - 1093.84s

definitely not keto-friendly. This is

Speaker 71093.84s - 1095.86s

this is real maple syrup, real

Speaker 61095.86s - 1097.84s

brown sugar. Yeah, and it's

Speaker 71097.84s - 1099.52s

going to have a nice little

Speaker 61099.52s - 1102.1s

sweet flavor. Oh my God.

Speaker 11103.3s - 1104.6s

Why are you making so good?

Speaker 81106.7s - 1108.18s

It's the greatest thing.

Speaker 11109.48s - 1110.48s

It, uh...

Speaker 81110.48s - 1112.2s

I know people don't like to hear of chewing on the radio.

Speaker 61112.2s - 1115.84s

You won't find this bacon in any store anywhere in the state floor.

Speaker 71115.84s - 1117.22s

And you cook it exactly the same way.

Speaker 11117.22s - 1120.3s

Exactly. Well, today, because I did a lot of it, I just did in the oven, but yeah.

Speaker 61120.36s - 1123.02s

Oh, nice. I do mine in the oven. It is quick. It is easy.

Speaker 71123.1s - 1125.78s

It is. And the third one, you said this is a beef bacon.

Speaker 11125.78s - 1126.7s

That is beef bacon.

Speaker 71126.84s - 1128.22s

It's going to start off a little salty.

Speaker 11128.32s - 1130.18s

Then you're going to have a little pepper flavor.

Speaker 61130.28s - 1132.12s

And then it's going to finish with a nice cinnamon taste.

Speaker 11132.64s - 1142.22s

Oh, wow. Yeah. And you wouldn't think that you can make beef taste that way. And, you know, for somebody who doesn't eat regular bacon, that's going to be the closest thing we have to it. That's really good.

Speaker 61142.3s - 1148.76s

Now, besides from beef, can you make, like, anything in any protein into bacon?

Speaker 11148.92s - 1150.12s

You know, did you do a chicken?

Speaker 61150.38s - 1151.24s

I don't do foul.

Speaker 11151.56s - 1151.78s

Okay.

Speaker 61151.94s - 1152.48s

Yeah, I don't do it.

Speaker 11152.54s - 1158.18s

I mean, it's out there, and people eat it, but I've had it before, and it's just not for me.

Speaker 61158.26s - 1164.02s

Because bacon is technically the process in which is cured and cooked,

Speaker 71164.16s - 1165.4s

and that's what makes something a bacon.

Speaker 11165.4s - 1168.6s

Because it's that fatty area of the animal.

Speaker 71168.72s - 1170.92s

Yeah, I just don't, even like turkey bacon,

Speaker 11171.08s - 1173.46s

you just don't, to me there's not enough fat content to make it worthwhile.

Speaker 71174.24s - 1175.18s

I would agree with that.

Speaker 11175.22s - 1175.36s

Yeah.

Speaker 71175.54s - 1177.06s

What's the hardest part of making bacon?

Speaker 11177.14s - 1179.98s

Have you ever had any, you tried to make, couldn't get it to work?

Speaker 71180.18s - 1181.38s

I've tried different things.

Speaker 11181.5s - 1188.42s

You know, I did a margarita bacon. It's already got salt, so I added a little tequila, and I added a little lime juice, and it just didn't turn out well at all.

Speaker 81189.92s - 1190.22s

Yeah, sometimes you're going to have some ideas.

Speaker 11192.92s - 1192.96s

I figure my wife would really like it, and she had that look on her face, like,

Speaker 61193.7s - 1194.6s

what did you just give me? Yeah, this is terrible.

Speaker 81194.68s - 1195.18s

It was bad.

Speaker 61195.26s - 1196.64s

Where did the term making bacon?

Speaker 81197.12s - 1198.04s

It's two pigs, pump.

Speaker 61198.58s - 1199.1s

Okay.

Speaker 81199.4s - 1202.34s

It's a hat I used to have, but my granddad gave it to me.

Speaker 61202.38s - 1203.64s

I told you never to bring it up.

Speaker 81204.06s - 1204.78s

No, I never.

Speaker 71209.64s - 1209.86s

But why was that an analogy for, you know, sex?

Speaker 61211s - 1211.3s

Pigs making other pigs.

Speaker 71212.74s - 1213.04s

It's two pigs making bacon.

Speaker 61213.64s - 1214.66s

Oh, okay. You're making all over there.

Speaker 71214.78s - 1215.76s

My God, you're dumb.

Speaker 61217.12s - 1217.52s

Okay.

Speaker 71217.98s - 1223.82s

This is the portion of the show where I explain like 50-year-old hacky truck stop

Speaker 61223.82s - 1226.38s

to one of my very good friends.

Speaker 81227.7s - 1227.82s

Yeah.

Speaker 61228.16s - 1230.06s

Oh, okay. So you have two pigs

Speaker 81230.06s - 1232.04s

banging and then making another

Speaker 71232.04s - 1233.7s

big and making more bang.

Speaker 61233.7s - 1235.96s

Join us next week would I tell you the origin

Speaker 71235.96s - 1243.96s

of the Elefino PRODUCT? Which is a half righto, half elephant. So what is

Speaker 61243.96s - 1247.42s

the standard cost of your bacon comparative to...

Speaker 71247.42s - 1248.68s

I think I can answer this one.

Speaker 61248.76s - 1254.94s

I mean, you can tell me if I'm wrong, but that first piece tastes expensive. Like, that first piece tastes like you source the meat correctly.

Speaker 11255.56s - 1259.74s

Ten days. I mean, you're already out time. You're out ten days.

Speaker 71259.9s - 1269.08s

Well, what I do is I sell it in five-pound chunks. So it comes to you unsliced because I don't know how thin or thick you like to slice your bacon.

Speaker 01269.08s - 1270.94s

So I give you that opportunity to do it yourself.

Speaker 71272.08s - 1282.2s

It comes out to about $12 to $15 a pound. Okay. You know, in a good high-end bacon at the grocery store, it's going to be $12.15 pounds. Yeah, you're comparable to, I hate to say it, but to like a right brand.

Speaker 11282.38s - 1284.16s

I am for now. That's part of the whole business plan.

Speaker 71284.24s - 1287.56s

Yeah. You know, let's get them hooked. And then once they're hooked, then let's start raising prices.

Speaker 61287.74s - 1297.76s

Yeah. No, you're right. I mean, I think people nowadays, too, are more and more cognizant of the, you know, what they're putting in their body, the type of food they're eating.

Speaker 71298.18s - 1301.14s

Also supporting somebody who's doing, like, you can see the person.

Speaker 61301.24s - 1320.88s

Yeah, yeah. Meet the person. Yeah. And then also, and, like, you bring up a good point, you start comparative, like, you know, comparatively, you're like, well, it's only, you know, a few dollars more than this Win Dixie bacon that I've been buying for years. And like you said, who, coming from a factory is factory produced, a bunch of chemicals.

Speaker 71320.88s - 1322.72s

Well, most of it comes from Smithfield ORG.

Speaker 61322.86s - 1324.86s

Most of that comes from the same people, right?

Speaker 11325.04s - 1325.5s

Well, yeah. All the bacon comes. There's only a couple of bacon manufacturers. of it comes from Smithfield ORG. Most of that comes from the same people, right? Well, yeah.

Speaker 61325.9s - 1328.3s

All the bacon comes, there's only a couple of bacon manufacturers.

Speaker 11328.54s - 1329.86s

It's all one.

Speaker 71330.1s - 1341.38s

Yeah, yeah. Matter of fact, my raw. Right. Right. My raw product comes from Smith. China GPE!Yeah. It's all, like, this is the story that people will tell you about. They put the pigs in the boats. They take them out and the water, turn around and come back.

Speaker 11341.54s - 1343.94s

They're like, oh, yeah. International waters. It's American NORP pigs.

Speaker 61344.26s - 1350.58s

They're all Chinese NORP pigs. They're slaughter them crazy. If I were with them, I wouldn't even do the boat thing. I would just tell.

Speaker 71350.58s - 1360.34s

A sailor hat on them. I'm like, I were not, we're just a lot. Yeah, yeah. Just paint a red, white, blue flag on their butt. That's an American NORP pig. Like, no one's checking in on this.

Speaker 11361.64s - 1369.52s

So where can people find your bacon? Well, I sell my bacon actually at a restaurant in St. Cloud called Jimmy Bears ORG.

Speaker 61369.62s - 1409.02s

It's a barbecue restaurant, St. Cloud, Jimmy Bears ORG. That's a good spot. It is. And so we sell it there. I also sell it at some markets in downtown St. Cloud monthly markets. I sell it on our website, Bacon King USA.com ORG.But I also will teach you how to make it. So I have a Bacon King FAC experience. I do it once a month. The next one is May 18th in a couple weeks. Nice. So, you know, you want to learn how to do the process and learn how to make your own bacon?You know, the number one email I get from people who have taken the classes, I'm never buying store about bacon again. And that's my whole goal, is for you to learn how to do it and go out and make your own bacon. And then you can experiment with your own spices and figure out the exact bacon that you like.

Speaker 71409.32s - 1412.28s

Awesome. Anybody made a spicy? I'm surprised there's no spicy bacon.

Speaker 11412.36s - 1416.42s

Oh, yeah, yeah. And I have ingredients there. I got some Cajun NORP spices and some extra peppers and

Speaker 71416.42s - 1418.3s

things like that. I've had hot bacon. Chili powder.

Speaker 11418.38s - 1422.44s

I've never had, I've had sweet bacon. I've had all these maple bacon. I've never had

Speaker 61422.44s - 1425.46s

one that's like, man, they're not well. Yeah, like a jalapeno bacon. Yeah.

Speaker 71425.64s - 1427.14s

Right. All that's a possibility.

Speaker 11427.62s - 1431.9s

Well, awesome, man. Thank you so much for coming in. We appreciate it. Guys, thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it.

Speaker 61432s - 1434.36s

All right. We're going to take a break. I'm going to eat all this bacon.

Speaker 71436.52s - 1439.1s

I'm going to eat all of it very quickly.

Speaker 61439.44s - 1441.6s

And then I'm going to lay on the couch until our next guest comes by.

Speaker 81441.72s - 1442.1s

All right.

Speaker 61442.16s - 1442.98s

We'll be right back.

Speaker 81450.24s - 1454.04s

I was watching the B-Boys of Blanchard Insurance last night on Instagram Reels ORG because that's the kind of world we live in, and they were answering everybody's insurance questions.

Speaker 61454.34s - 1455.42s

They'll do that if you call.

Speaker 71455.68s - 1457.86s

If you just call and drop our name, they will help you out.

Speaker 61457.98s - 1471.4s

Yep. They handle all types of insurance, Homer GPE's insurance, car insurance. I got my boat insurance through Blanchard ORG. And speaking of Homer's insurance, if you live in Florida GPE, it's skyrocketing. You need the best value, and you need to understand it.

Speaker 71471.4s - 1488.24s

They need the knowledge. Yep. And Blanchard Insurance ORG can help you. It's Blanchardinsurance.com ORG. Drink local, dance local. That is the phrase of our good friends in Deland, Florida, Cafe Da Vinci ORG.Go there, take in a show, get a drink, and enjoy the night.

Speaker 01572.68s - 1601.28s

If you want to leave us emails, I'm kind of getting into this email thing. This is always Sam PERSON's deal, but I'm kind of like I'm liking this. That's almost better than voicemails. You can leave us emails at show at tom and Dan.com ORG. This one is from a friend of the show but he says, what's up guys? If you decide to readthis, keep it anonymous. Okay, so this is anonymous. Okay. Thanks. I'm trying to work things out with my ex and things are going pretty good. Now, if her and I continue to get closer, is it normalto go out with her

Speaker 71601.28s - 1622.86s

for an engagement ring and to shop for the style that she would like. I've never been married or engaged so I don't really know protocol on things of this. Thanks, boys, love Anonymous PERSON.All right. If you think really hard, you can probably figure it out who this has. I'm not trying to blow up a spot or anything.

Speaker 61623.22s - 1623.94s

You're saying, you know.

Speaker 71624.16s - 1625.12s

Is it Kenny Samson? It is not Kenny Samson. Stop, don't do it. Don't blow up a spot or anything you're saying, you know. Is it Kenny Samsell PERSON?

Speaker 61625.42s - 1626.94s

It is not Kenny Samson PERSON.

Speaker 71627.86s - 1628.74s

Stop, don't do it.

Speaker 61628.78s - 1629.42s

Don't do it. Don't blow up the spot.

Speaker 71629.76s - 1631.62s

So, anyway, is it Josh Canadian NORP?

Speaker 61632.78s - 1633.8s

It's Canadian Josh PERSON.

Speaker 71634.4s - 1637.58s

So it's important that she

Speaker 61637.58s - 1641.46s

likes the ring, so you definitely need her input.

Speaker 71641.46s - 1643.36s

Because you don't know nothing about rings.

Speaker 61643.92s - 1646.54s

I could hear in this person's email.

Speaker 71646.54s - 1649.54s

I played a dangerous game on mine, and you probably did too.

Speaker 61650.76s - 1661.7s

No, no, no. Crystal PERSON sent me multiple. I mean, she cut out clippings of the type of ring she wanted and put it in my wallet before we got engaged.

Speaker 81662.04s - 1662.74s

So I was well.

Speaker 71663s - 1664.76s

I took a picture. You knew.

Speaker 81664.94s - 1671.26s

Oh, yeah. She, I mean, gave me a million different, you know, pieces of advice about, before we got engaged. So I was well... So you knew. You knew. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She, I mean, gave me a million different, you know, pieces of advice about the type of ring she wanted.

Speaker 71671.26s - 1677.52s

You know, believe it or not, I'd played a dangerous game, and I forgot about this. Andrea PERSON had no say in her ring. Okay.

Speaker 61677.84s - 1680.16s

I entrusted, and she's a good designer,

Speaker 71680.16s - 1683.6s

I entrusted the taste of Alfred Tori PERSON,

Speaker 61684.6s - 1686.32s

Jimmy, Jim Colbert's PERSON wife. Okay.

Speaker 71686.42s - 1688.16s

Because she has good taste and she can design.

Speaker 61688.36s - 1689.14s

Okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 71689.2s - 1697.76s

And she put together a mood board of different styled, like, all I knew is that Andrea PERSON wanted something that looked vintage and more antique.

Speaker 61698.08s - 1699.62s

Okay, or you had a direction.

Speaker 71699.62s - 1705.26s

So, no, Tori put together, if we're just being honest, Tori is, if no Tori,

Speaker 61705.7s - 1707.7s

there would be no blue sapphires in that.

Speaker 71707.74s - 1711.94s

Like, she'd said, no, she's going to like this, this, and this. Yeah, yeah, you got the advice.

Speaker 61711.98s - 1715.52s

I got the advice of a woman, which is smart. It's a smart play. It knows, Andrea PERSON, yeah.

Speaker 71715.52s - 1722.46s

And that's another one, you know, like ask, you know, your girlfriend's friends or family.

Speaker 61722.56s - 1726.78s

And then I designed it with David from a goldsmith and jewelry shop on Lee Road FAC.

Speaker 71727.02s - 1736s

Yeah. Don't go in there with no idea. No, you've got to do some work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're going to blow it. And this is coming from Tom PERSON. And Tom PERSON did work.You had clippings. I didn't do it ever.

Speaker 61736.16s - 1744.06s

She forced it on it. My point is that you had the stuff. I mean, you had, whether you did the work, you were doing the work. Yeah, yeah. I mean, she put it in my wallet.

Speaker 71744.22s - 1746.38s

I could not. Work done. Couldn't escape the work. Yeah, yeah. She put it in my wallet. I could not. Work done. Couldn't escape the work.

Speaker 61747.1s - 1747.82s

Nothing could be done.

Speaker 71747.94s - 1756.96s

Yeah. So, you know, that I would, or they have a sister, I ask the sister or a friend, like, they'll know. Sister's good. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 61756.96s - 1758.86s

That's a good one. Usually the sister will know.

Speaker 71758.92s - 1806s

Unless they hate you. What she likes or whatever. Or, you know, if you're older, like, there's all these traditional things. Just ask her. You know, bringing her to the jeweler is fine, too. Like, you know, there's no right way.This doesn't have to be a surprise. Most, like, engagements aren't necessarily a total surprise. Like, the actual time is, for the most part, but they both people know it's coming, right? Like the total shock and surprise that coming out of nowhere is super rare. Like, I feel like, you know, and if you're doing it traditionally where the man asks the woman and the woman is totally surprised, that's ultra rare. You know, she knows, like, for the moment, I don't think that's

Speaker 61806s - 1812.66s

a thing anymore. Most of the time and especially if you're, you know, in your 30s and 40s or whatever.

Speaker 71812.66s - 1816.74s

But I don't know what, like, 20-year-olds are doing. Because I'm so detached from those.

Speaker 61817.06s - 1820.52s

I think the traditional stuff is not as popular.

Speaker 71820.8s - 1821.76s

Yeah, I don't think it happens.

Speaker 61821.92s - 1824.68s

So I think people have conversations now, and they look at,

Speaker 71824.88s - 1826.94s

I've talked to my sister in a mall, people have conversations now, and they look at, I've talked to my sister in

Speaker 61826.94s - 1835.08s

a mall, like a lot of young people look at the actual, you know, the legal part of it just as the legal part.

Speaker 01835.18s - 1843.74s

Right, right. Like, you know, they look and value someone's partnership without the legal part as serious as the legal part. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 71843.84s - 1850.06s

They just look at all the person not legally married. I think I do too. You know? I think I look They just look at all the way. This person not legally married. I think I do too. I think I look at people that are together and if I feel like they're together.

Speaker 61850.6s - 1854.26s

And they live, if you live together and you've lived together for 10 years and you're not married,

Speaker 71854.26s - 1869.68s

that's tight as anybody. Yeah, I'm with that. Yeah. That and by the way, more tighter than the person that's married and has only known the person for two years. Correct. It's time spent in. Yeah. It's like years. Correct. Like, I look at the...It's time spent in. Yeah, the relationship. It's like jail. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's how many years did you do?

Speaker 61869.78s - 1870.28s

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 71870.4s - 1871.68s

And that's what makes you an OG.

Speaker 61871.88s - 1872.02s

Yeah.

Speaker 71872.08s - 1886.76s

It's just like jail. Yeah. The actual legal marriage doesn't really mean anything. No. Unless you're religious and you're like, this is under... Because it's the lifers that have no, like, marriage certificate or anything,that have been through the ups and downs and, like, all the stuff.

Speaker 61887.1s - 1888.1s

Yeah, yeah. And still together.

Speaker 71888.4s - 1908.28s

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go with this one right here. This is from BDM John ORG. He says, gentlemen, just listening to Wednesday's ACT WORK_OF_ART on how people are unplugging small appliances to save power. This is the hottest new topic on the show.This is the new dowsing rods. This is it. This topic on the show. This is the new dousing rods. This is it. This right

Speaker 61908.28s - 1915.9s

here is it, baby. Like this, we've never had a topic. So let's recap this. So I didn't, I didn't know this

Speaker 71915.9s - 1919.94s

existed. This is my dumb wife who's in the chat room right now. She's cheap, cheap, man.

Speaker 61920.06s - 1922.22s

You unplug all your appliances.

Speaker 71922.52s - 1923.14s

I sent her,

Speaker 61923.64s - 1934.78s

I wanted to get Mother's Day. I wanted to take her up here to Sato ORG, sushi. Take her for Mother's Day. And I sent her like that I made reservations. She made me cancel it. Too expensive.She's cheap. I did that for Mother's Day.

Speaker 81934.82s - 1936.36s

She said cancel that. I don't want that too expensive.

Speaker 71937.66s - 1939.24s

She's cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.

Speaker 81939.38s - 1940.48s

This just happened this morning.

Speaker 61940.64s - 1942.34s

I'm just calling her out because she's in the chat room.

Speaker 81942.78s - 1944.42s

She's the cheapest woman I've ever met.

Speaker 61952.02s - 1960.14s

So you unplug your appliances. No, I do not. I do not. Your wife makes you. My cheap wife, Andrea, the cheap-a-dater. She makes me and Masey PERSON go around and unplug all

Speaker 81960.14s - 1965.52s

loose appliances because they're draining power. Because they, yeah, they create some sort of draw.

Speaker 61965.68s - 1967.92s

And I screamed BS on this.

Speaker 81968.04s - 1969.12s

This is some urban legend.

Speaker 61969.3s - 1974.34s

And then we looked it up, and apparently they do draw some sort of small amount of power.

Speaker 71974.84s - 1976.14s

Now, the question...

Speaker 61976.14s - 1980.9s

So now we're getting inundated with sick people that do the same thing or have grandmas that do the same thing.

Speaker 71980.9s - 1984.28s

But the question should be, how much power do they draw?

Speaker 61984.44s - 1992.82s

Because if it's an insignificant amount, then the effort to unplug them every single time is more... Well, you have energy.

Speaker 71993.04s - 1996.12s

Well, you have energy. You have a decision clock inside. Yes. And my time is worth... Yeah.

Speaker 61996.24s - 2001.1s

...is valuable. In fact, you could argue that time is the most valuable asset.

Speaker 72001.1s - 2006.36s

Oh, Andrea PERSON is arguing with you right now. She's in the chat room screaming every dollar count. It's Mother's Day. I can do what I want.

Speaker 62006.68s - 2008.18s

Well, here's an email. This is from John PERSON.

Speaker 82008.26s - 2010.14s

He says, gentlemen, just listening to Wednesday's

Speaker 62010.14s - 2013.12s

ACT on how people are unplugging small appliances to save power.

Speaker 82013.22s - 2016s

I have a story. And Tom PERSON, you should share this great power

Speaker 62016s - 2026.12s

saving tip with Andrea PERSON. My mom would turn the breaker for our hot water tank off to save money. She said it costs too much to heat water all day. Only trust,

Speaker 72027.04s - 2054.48s

uh, only turn, she would only turn it on 30 minutes before we were going to take a shower and then turn it back off afterwards. She started doing this when I was nine and continued for well over 30 years. In her defense, she was a single parent and we lived up north, but damn. The water heater itself ended up lasting 42 years before it rusted out and got a leak. That's like three to four times the normal lifespan today, so some additional savings there.If you hardly use things, guys, they will last forever. Thank you, John PERSON.

Speaker 62054.86s - 2057.3s

But again, it's the time and effort.

Speaker 32057.3s - 2059.08s

She was a sick person like my wife.

Speaker 72059.46s - 2060.1s

It's a sick person.

Speaker 32060.1s - 2062s

Is this what you're trying to say?

Speaker 72062.08s - 2064.04s

It's on the spectrum of mental illness.

Speaker 32064.86s - 2066.66s

Gilbert Godfrey is high up there.

Speaker 62066.74s - 2068.8s

He's riding the damn megabus around.

Speaker 72069.04s - 2070.4s

He died with millions.

Speaker 62070.54s - 2074.22s

How can anyone be married to me and say, I'm crazy, but do that?

Speaker 72075.32s - 2076.06s

By the way.

Speaker 62076.26s - 2077.44s

And make their daughter do that.

Speaker 72078.04s - 2079.14s

I hate their argument.

Speaker 62079.34s - 2087.94s

They're like, oh, well, that's how rich get rich. No, that's not how rich get rich. The rich get, Jeff Bezos PERSON gets rich. He does not do this.

Speaker 72088.06s - 2090.08s

I'm plugged his water here. He doesn't do it.

Speaker 62090.08s - 2091.78s

He's rich from making money.

Speaker 72091.96s - 2093.26s

Not from saving money.

Speaker 62093.38s - 2104.92s

I go out of the bathroom. I'm holding my coffee. I'm taking the Daily Constitution number two. I walk out of the bathroom, walking to the kitchen. Masey looks at Andrea PERSON. Dad PERSON left the toaster plugged in.

Speaker 72106s - 2108s

That's my life. So, my question to

Speaker 62108s - 2110.02s

Andrea PERSON and other mentally

Speaker 02110.02s - 2111.96s

ill people. Okay, thank you. I'm glad you added

Speaker 82111.96s - 2112.78s

that part on there.

Speaker 72114.1s - 2121.9s

Aren't you curious to how much power it actually does draw? Because that's... Now she's going to be measuring that to prove you

Speaker 62121.9s - 2133.7s

wrong. Is this what you're trying to do? You're just trying to do this to mess with me. That should be your determination whether or not you unplug the appliance or not. Like, yes, it does draw power. We found out that is true.

Speaker 72134.54s - 2135.92s

AI told us. I don't even know if that's true. It should.

Speaker 62136s - 2140.82s

I didn't give me any specifics. AI said it was a real thing. It does draw power.

Speaker 72141.02s - 2176.82s

But how much does it draw like two cents a day? Because then do the math, the, you know, the 15 cents or whatever of power isn't worth unplugging your toaster and plugging it back in each time. You know what I'm saying? Like, again,your time and all these efforts and things that you have to think about are worth something. Let's see. If it's like $30 a month, now you start having an argument, you know. And then it should be an equation based on how much money you make. It's giving me the equation.Okay. What is I mean? Give it a second.

Speaker 62177.36s - 2194.18s

It's still typing. There must be a lot of people asking it questions about their mentally ill people. Because, again, I used to have a friend that drove around town trying to find gas stations that offered the free air. And I would tell him, I'm like, you are wasting more in gas and your own time.

Speaker 72194.18s - 2210.14s

Just get a dollar. Of course. Of course. Yeah, it's right near your house. Like, that dollar is more, you know, it's worth more than your time than to drive around and gas. My dad used to do this for prices on gas.He would drive, he lived into land, he would drive

Speaker 62210.14s - 2211.94s

to Barberville GPE. You know Barberville.

Speaker 82212.12s - 2220.18s

He would drive all the way to Barberville GPE with his boat to save a couple bucks on boat gas. The drive is more money than the... He's pulling the boat,

Speaker 62220.18s - 2224.12s

yeah, yeah. Crazy. All right, here's what

Speaker 72224.12s - 2227.92s

chat GPT ORG said about the average toaster being left plugged in.

Speaker 62230.36s - 2231.3s

Watch is not going to be.

Speaker 72231.3s - 2236.7s

Leaving your toaster plugged in when not in use generally doesn't consume a significant amount of power,

Speaker 22237.18s - 2292.04s

as most modern toasters don't have a standby mode that uses electricity. However, some appliances might draw a small amount of vampire power, which could be around 1 to 3 watts when they're off, but still plugged in. For a typical toaster, if we assume it uses about 2 watts while plugged in and not in use, here's how you could calculate the annual power consumption and cost. 1. Power consumption per day, 2 watts 24 hours equals 48 watt hours per day.2. Power consumption per year, 48 watt hours day, and in 365 days equals 17,520 watt hours, or about 17.52 kilowatt hours per year. 3. Cost calculation. If your electricity cost is about 0.0 cents per kilowatt hours, then 17.52 kilowatt hours coins that equals approximately $2.10 per year.1.2 kilowatt hours, then 17.52 kilowatt hours coins that equals approximately $2.10 per year. So it's a small amount, but if you're looking to save every bit of electricity,

Speaker 52292.88s - 2293.92s

unplugging appliances...

Speaker 72293.92s - 2298.62s

By the way, it's weird that he takes breaths. I don't like the breaths. I hate the breaths.

Speaker 62298.86s - 2300.72s

He's telling me so much smarter than he is.

Speaker 22300.8s - 2302.42s

Like, if you're going to be so much smarter than me,

Speaker 62302.48s - 2303.54s

then knock off the breaths.

Speaker 22303.74s - 2306.76s

Yeah, yeah. When he takes breaths, I'm like, oh, my God, this is a real person.

Speaker 62306.96s - 2310.28s

Yeah, but he takes the breath. I think he's going to turn to me. It'd kill me or something.

Speaker 22310.34s - 2313.2s

I think he's going to change trajectory and say, like, why you're staring into my eyes.

Speaker 62313.34s - 2317.7s

$2.17 a year is not worth every day.

Speaker 22317.9s - 2318.42s

$0.10.

Speaker 62318.78s - 2321.28s

Yeah, unplugging the toaster.

Speaker 22322.08s - 2324.16s

You're losing more money in inflation.

Speaker 62324.86s - 2325.1s

If that's a part, like, you should be moving all your, like, you're losing more money in inflation.

Speaker 72331.12s - 2331.22s

If that's a part, like, you should be moving all your, like, you know, currency after a regular bankedowns.

Speaker 62335.82s - 2336s

The problem is that you can't, like, I can't argue with Andrea PERSON if she's saving anything.

Speaker 72336.68s - 2337.44s

Do you see the problem?

Speaker 62341.98s - 2342.06s

If there's $2.10 of savings, she's going to say victory, she's going to chop her crotch.

Speaker 72343.66s - 2343.82s

She's doing Degeneration X.

Speaker 82350.54s - 2350.6s

She's dancing around the house saying I saved the house money. Oh, but if you want math logic, I'd start to be like,

Speaker 72355.42s - 2360.22s

all right, well, let's calculate how much your time is worth, because there is a calculation for that. It's like, all right, how much money do you make a year? How much, then we could

Speaker 82360.22s - 2365.66s

derive using that number into how much money you should be paid an hour.

Speaker 72365.74s - 2365.98s

Right.

Speaker 82366.06s - 2367.48s

It's like, what's your market value?

Speaker 72367.66s - 2373.92s

And then so with that, you know, unplugging and plugging in the toaster, let's say, you know, it doesn't take that long.

Speaker 62374s - 2379.5s

It takes, what, five seconds? So then five seconds, you know, once a day.

Speaker 72379.5s - 2381.76s

Andrews said two seconds. What is it saying?

Speaker 62381.96s - 2388.64s

Andrews says it takes two effing seconds to unplug. All right, well, two seconds. Two, we can do the math.

Speaker 72389s - 2412.32s

Two seconds. Yeah, yeah. We use a calculator, old school AI for this. That's a call a calculator. Old AI. So two seconds times 365 days.Then we can get an amount of time and then use that time and figure out what she's, you know, how much her time is worth. You know.

Speaker 62413.54s - 2421.6s

There's no way that it's worth $2.17 a year on plugging your pile by plane.

Speaker 72421.6s - 2428.26s

I asked that. I asked Chad, JP, T.T. How much money is one second worth of my time compared to this equation? Is it worth unplugging the toaster? That plane. I asked it, I asked Chad CPD how much money is one second worth of my time compared to this equation? Is it worth

Speaker 62428.26s - 2433.6s

on plugging the toaster? That's what I asked it. And it's giving me an actual answer with real numbers. So hold on.

Speaker 82434.06s - 2435.92s

Here, here. Here it goes. Here's what it says.

Speaker 62436.22s - 2437.98s

The cost of leaving a toaster plugged in for

Speaker 82437.98s - 2439.9s

one second, assuming it uses about

Speaker 62439.9s - 2441.38s

two watts of power while off,

Speaker 22441.96s - 2462.6s

is approximately 0-0-0-6-7. Given how minuscule this amount is, it's not financially significant to unplug the toaster just to save on this cost. However, if you're concerned about overall energy conservation or electrical safety, unplugging it when not in use can still be a good practice.

Speaker 72462.6s - 2467s

So even hard drive is saying it's dumb. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a computer.

Speaker 62467s - 2469.1s

Yeah, he said it's not worth it.

Speaker 22469.54s - 2473s

But then he did a kind of acquiesce at the end where he was like,

Speaker 62473.08s - 2474.54s

but if it makes you feel good.

Speaker 22474.88s - 2475.04s

Right.

Speaker 62475.24s - 2476.2s

Well, that's the thing.

Speaker 22476.24s - 2478.48s

He did the time at the end, the condescending BS.

Speaker 62478.6s - 2484.28s

But if you make your feelings feel good, if it keeps your diaper dry, then unplug it.

Speaker 22484.42s - 2484.92s

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 62484.96s - 2486.34s

Peace of mind is worth it. Right. That's not dry, then unplug it. Yeah, peace of mind is worth.

Speaker 72487s - 2499.32s

That's what we're talking about. That's emotional. We're talking math. I know math. And math says it's not worth it. Now, you start wanting to bring emotion into this. Then now we were talking about belief systems.

Speaker 02499.82s - 2514.98s

And then I got nothing for you. You're talking about magic? I don't know. Because Crystal would do the same. I just feel better. And that's what this is all about. It's like the knowing that it's even a small draw is emotionally.

Speaker 72514.98s - 2518.38s

But it's not a small draw. It's only a small draw if it's on. No, no.

Speaker 62518.58s - 2521.22s

It's not on. Well, they said vampire power.

Speaker 72521.32s - 2522.44s

No, he said it could be.

Speaker 62522.5s - 2535.24s

But he said there's no standby. If it were in standby mode, it would be pulling power. But it's off. It's full on off. Yeah, but there's still some sort of vampire draw that it could. That's what they told us, you know, that appliances do and can't have a vampire draw.

Speaker 72535.24s - 2536.7s

Yeah, but I don't think toasters do.

Speaker 62536.84s - 2543.98s

It was a bad example. But even if they do have the vampire, but just knowing that that could be, it's emotional. So this is an emotional behavior.

Speaker 72544.28s - 2559.2s

Somebody said it's like cleaning your recycled items, it helps. Well, like, from what I understand, cleaning your recycled items, like if you don't wash out your dish, like the detergent bottles,then they're not used at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 62559.2s - 2564.76s

Right? So nothing I've ever put in the recycling bin has ever been recycled. Aluminum cans.

Speaker 72564.94s - 2566.1s

Maybe, maybe, yeah. Aluminum cans. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah.

Speaker 62566.3s - 2573.96s

They do aluminum cans and some other stuff. But, I mean, then you're deep dive into the recycling business, and it depends on what county you're in.

Speaker 82574s - 2591.94s

Yeah. Some counties don't have the money, and it just all goes to the trash. Like, you know, it gets real complicated. But, yeah. I mean, there's tons of things that people do that are purely emotional and or for peace of mind andbut just admit it. That's all I want.

Speaker 02592.04s - 2594.38s

I just admit like this is emotional.

Speaker 82594.5s - 2596.04s

Oh, you'll never get her to admit that.

Speaker 02596.18s - 2598.2s

No, no. This is not actually for money savings.

Speaker 72598.2s - 2602.3s

This is just for, because emotionally I can't,

Speaker 82602.68s - 2605.78s

I know that it's drawing anything or could be drawing

Speaker 72605.78s - 2610.62s

that bothers me. I think about it. And then it's like, oh, I have a version.

Speaker 62610.78s - 2615.68s

I have a version of this I'm struggling with right now, and I've struggled with in here, in the studio.

Speaker 72616.48s - 2620.16s

So we have two sets of Yamaha ORG monitors here.

Speaker 02620.54s - 2639.76s

And monitor, for those of you outside of, like, studio land Monitors are not computer monitors like that you look at. It's not a screen, meaning monitors, meaning speakers. Like, you know, they're powered monitors so we can hear, you know, music and what we're recording. So I have the same set in, you know, in the office as I do in here.

Speaker 72640.18s - 2649.08s

I have one set in there, though, that stay on all the time. They're always on. Yeah. And then this set in here, like, I turn them off at the end of the day. Yeah.

Speaker 62649.18s - 2657.4s

Now, I've looked this up multiple times, and in best practices, it says you should, at the end of the day, turn them off.

Speaker 72657.86s - 2670.92s

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's a weirdness in my brain that I struggle with where I don't fully believe that. And I'm like, why? Why do I have to turn them off? Just leave them on. I think the turning off and on is doing more damage than just leaving them on.

Speaker 02671.38s - 2679.96s

So I leave the ones in there on, almost daring God, the gods. And then I turn these off to be safe. That's how crazy I am.

Speaker 72681.22s - 2684.92s

Well, I have one version in there that I'm completely okay with.

Speaker 62684.96s - 2688.56s

I leave them on and I'm like, come on, God, give me your best shot.

Speaker 02688.68s - 2689.1s

Kill them.

Speaker 82689.72s - 2690.62s

Give me the fry.

Speaker 02690.72s - 2692.78s

Fry them with a power surge. But they don't.

Speaker 72693.4s - 2695.6s

But I turn these off just in case. Yeah.

Speaker 62696.02s - 2711.7s

Like, we do this all the time. Everybody does this with insurance, right? Most insurance you buy, you'll never use. And of course you won't because the insurance industry would be out of business if everybody used it. You know what I'm saying? So most people just

Speaker 82711.7s - 2739.3s

pay for peace of mind or for catastrophe that the amount you pay is more than the likelihood of this catastrophe happening. But they prey on peace of mind because people are like, I'll, I'll pay it just in case, even though, like, well, what are the statistically a chance or the statistical chance of this happening? Right. It's way smaller than the amount you're paying for, so therefore it's way.

Speaker 72739.6s - 2748.82s

But just knowing the idea of, well, if this, you know, S is out, you're out, you're in 10K for new ones, people are like, well, then I'll just get the insurance.

Speaker 62749s - 2751.08s

And then you end up paying $20,000.

Speaker 72751.5s - 2771.8s

But you're just like, wait a minute, what are the chances this happens? But no, in fact, because it's hard. You need an actuary. That's what literally the statistic math actuaries do, where they calculate for insurance companies the likelihood of these things happening and what they should charge and how the insurance will make money, you know.

Speaker 02771.92s - 2778.3s

And so it goes back to math. And guess what? They always win. You know, unless in Miami GPE dealers.

Speaker 72778.54s - 2779.76s

I was going to say.

Speaker 62779.9s - 2784.28s

Because the actuary does an account for the fraud.

Speaker 72786.04s - 2788.74s

Well, that's not just the insurance. That's just the business of fraud.

Speaker 62789.28s - 2793.14s

Millions of people in South Florida LOC being fine with fraud.

Speaker 72793.74s - 2795.62s

They were like, oh, we didn't account for that.

Speaker 62796.18s - 2797.08s

We've got to get out of it.

Speaker 72797.46s - 2797.76s

All right.
