Cheers. 00:00:42.943 --> 00:00:47.243 Jerry, I'm sure you got some more things there that you wanted to talk about. 00:00:47.763 --> 00:00:52.663 Yeah, I got a couple more things. But yeah, going back to the time spent and 00:00:52.663 --> 00:00:58.603 everything that you put into it with the infusing of the oil and researching 00:00:58.603 --> 00:01:01.043 what each one does and doing all that. 00:01:01.043 --> 00:01:03.683 I think the most expensive thing that you have on 00:01:03.683 --> 00:01:06.903 your website taking out merch which we 00:01:06.903 --> 00:01:10.883 know is getting up there and well somebody 00:01:10.883 --> 00:01:15.243 else i don't know why t-shirts and hats decide to start going up in price with 00:01:15.243 --> 00:01:18.283 everything but i think the most expensive thing is your liquid butter at 25 00:01:18.283 --> 00:01:23.763 bucks but that's a four ounce liquid butter which is an insane amount of liquid 00:01:23.763 --> 00:01:25.823 butter because i know i've started 00:01:25.823 --> 00:01:29.003 using a lot of liquid butter one of the brands that we've had on here, 00:01:29.563 --> 00:01:33.703 that I've really enjoyed went to liquid butter and I've been using that and 00:01:33.703 --> 00:01:38.543 it's two ounces and it's just like beard oil, you don't need much it's gonna, 00:01:38.683 --> 00:01:42.923 so four ounces is an insane amount for 25 bucks, I think, 00:01:43.683 --> 00:01:47.363 18, 20 bucks seems to be like industry average right now, so. 00:01:48.957 --> 00:01:51.877 So i might have originally like i saw it 00:01:51.877 --> 00:01:54.597 and i was like let me let me try the product out first because 00:01:54.597 --> 00:01:57.297 i don't want to i don't like to spend money if it's going to be a shit 00:01:57.297 --> 00:02:00.017 product but so i'll try to do like like we were talking 00:02:00.017 --> 00:02:02.797 about samples and whatnot but i'll i got 00:02:02.797 --> 00:02:05.977 no problem dropping like 20 bucks and trying it and then after trying 00:02:05.977 --> 00:02:08.777 i'm like yeah i gotta go back and pick some of the liquid butter 00:02:08.777 --> 00:02:12.137 up and a few more oils and whatnot up but yeah like deodorant's 00:02:12.137 --> 00:02:15.557 10 bucks it's on sale right now from 12 bucks you got what's that 00:02:15.557 --> 00:02:18.497 a balm for 15 bucks and then all the oils like 00:02:18.497 --> 00:02:21.517 you said were 20 bucks shampoo and conditioner for 00:02:21.517 --> 00:02:24.377 15 bucks are those eight ounces eight 00:02:24.377 --> 00:02:27.337 ounces yeah that's in my cart right now eight 00:02:27.337 --> 00:02:30.117 ounces for 15 bucks that's great those are going to be sold 00:02:30.117 --> 00:02:33.097 out soon so once that's gone it's gone the company i'm buying 00:02:33.097 --> 00:02:38.157 it from changed their formula so what i currently have is coconut coconut derivative 00:02:38.157 --> 00:02:44.117 products on the shampoo and the conditioner totally fits in with my ethos but 00:02:44.117 --> 00:02:47.477 they've changed their they've changed their formula I have some of the very 00:02:47.477 --> 00:02:50.937 last product that they made of the old formula. Once that's gone, it's gone. 00:02:51.397 --> 00:02:56.357 Now we are doing a shampoo and conditioning soap. 00:02:56.737 --> 00:03:03.117 It is lard. It is from a guy who make grows his own pigs. He harvests his own pigs. 00:03:03.477 --> 00:03:05.737 It's a three month time. 00:03:06.297 --> 00:03:09.717 It's a three month cook time on those, on those, on that soap. 00:03:09.777 --> 00:03:13.857 It's not on the website yet, but it's got all my herbs in it. 00:03:14.377 --> 00:03:22.297 And the avocado oil and castor. I use it every day and my beard feels absolutely incredible. 00:03:23.077 --> 00:03:28.477 Clean and moisturized. I am freaking blown away by how good this stuff is. 00:03:28.757 --> 00:03:30.777 But it's a three month cook time. 00:03:31.597 --> 00:03:35.457 So as soon as it goes on the website, I'll let you guys know when it's on the 00:03:35.457 --> 00:03:38.437 website. I'm not going to charge you guys. It's going to be like 10 to 12 bucks. 00:03:39.677 --> 00:03:42.797 But I have one bar in there that's been used for two months. 00:03:44.519 --> 00:03:47.479 I know that's, that's one thing that the three of us have kind of, 00:03:47.579 --> 00:03:52.279 I know for me, it's, it wasn't something I thought about was like beard wash, 00:03:52.419 --> 00:03:56.119 like, well, next order from this company, I'll pour, pick some up. 00:03:56.219 --> 00:04:00.219 And then started looking at when I joined the podcast that started looking into 00:04:00.219 --> 00:04:03.059 the different oils and ingredients in it. 00:04:03.139 --> 00:04:07.079 And I'm like, I'm not that, that has the same stuff as head and shoulders in 00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:08.439 there, except it's in a different bottle. 00:04:08.519 --> 00:04:11.459 I'm not using that no more. so one of the things that i've 00:04:11.459 --> 00:04:14.199 i know i've personally started doing looking at 00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.139 these companies is obviously the oil and 00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:19.959 balm and butter because that's the main three that we 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.779 kind of do but deodorant and beard wash and conditioner like the two like main 00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:29.479 ones that i'll try to that i like to look out for because i got issues with 00:04:29.479 --> 00:04:34.279 like the aluminum and whatever that like the big big name like old spice and 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.039 and whatever the other big ones on use them growing up, 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.139 but then I get like the rash and everything in under it and it just hurts and 00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:47.179 it's annoying and pain in the ass, but trying to find good quality, natural deodorant. 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.439 And I found a few of them. So I'm going to have to pick some of that up along 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.519 with the, the, uh, the, the shampoo and conditioner. 00:04:54.659 --> 00:04:56.839 Cause I am almost out of what I have right now. 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.139 So I was actually in the shower this morning. I was like, I got to figure out 00:05:00.139 --> 00:05:01.759 what I got to, what I want to try next. 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:04.479 So I think I just found out what I want to try next. And like Paul said, 00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:08.779 eight ounces for 15 bucks for the shampoo and conditioner, well, 00:05:09.259 --> 00:05:11.159 $15 each for that shampoo and conditioner. 00:05:11.299 --> 00:05:16.559 It's a crazy price. And the good thing about the two of them is that it's like 00:05:16.559 --> 00:05:19.179 everything else. You do not have to use a lot for your beard. 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.339 You can use a dime-sized amount of both for your beard. 00:05:23.539 --> 00:05:27.379 So, again, this is one of those situations where a little goes a long way, 00:05:27.499 --> 00:05:29.519 same thing with the salve or the butter or the oil. 00:05:30.119 --> 00:05:35.619 Because it's an all-natural derivative product, it's not where you have to use 00:05:35.619 --> 00:05:39.339 an overabundance of it in order to get the results that you want, right? 00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:44.539 So 15 comparatively is actually pretty fair. 00:05:45.339 --> 00:05:47.519 I've had other people say you should charge more. I'm like, no, 00:05:47.619 --> 00:05:52.459 I'm not going to be that guy that sits there and overcharges people. 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:57.679 So number one, they never get it. But number two, I want people to try something 00:05:57.679 --> 00:05:59.259 different that's actually better for them. 00:05:59.379 --> 00:06:04.399 How do I get it in their hand if I charge $30 or $40 an ounce for something? 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.459 That just doesn't make any sense right so the same philosophy with the shampoo 00:06:08.459 --> 00:06:14.919 and conditioner so yeah i can't say enough about this so the fact of the matter is it's like. 00:06:16.261 --> 00:06:21.521 Guy goes to, his son goes to my kid's school. He raises big, fat, happy pigs. 00:06:21.961 --> 00:06:26.041 He harvests 100 pounds of pig fat. 00:06:26.461 --> 00:06:32.201 He made just this amazing. So I said, we need to put my leftover avocado herbs. 00:06:32.341 --> 00:06:34.321 So all the herbs from my beard oil go in there. 00:06:34.681 --> 00:06:45.121 And so it's 10% avocado. I'm sorry, it's 20% avocado, 10% castor oil, and 70% the lard. 00:06:45.721 --> 00:06:50.341 And it is a orange essential oil, but that it kind of faded away. 00:06:50.461 --> 00:06:53.981 But at Burnham, it is incredible. 00:06:54.861 --> 00:06:58.921 So it's going to be worth the time and effort for us to make 70 bars. 00:06:59.201 --> 00:07:04.141 We did a trial run of 20. We have a couple of guys in the community with really bad skin. 00:07:04.621 --> 00:07:09.501 And the soap immediately started clearing up the skin and the really bad problems 00:07:09.501 --> 00:07:12.881 they had in their scalp, on their back hairline, in the front. 00:07:12.881 --> 00:07:15.741 This one african-american guy that's in the community 00:07:15.741 --> 00:07:18.681 is very light-skinned guy but he's got 00:07:18.681 --> 00:07:21.761 huge pores on his face it's like i get 00:07:21.761 --> 00:07:27.521 breakouts so bad the soap immediately started to help within the first use so 00:07:27.521 --> 00:07:32.581 it's that kind of thing that i'm super proud of but yeah healthy ingredients 00:07:32.581 --> 00:07:37.081 try to get the best price that i can possibly get for it and i don't need to 00:07:37.081 --> 00:07:41.481 make a million dollars selling this, selling this stuff. I really don't. 00:07:41.781 --> 00:07:45.961 If I, if I can get someone to switch primarily the deodorant, 00:07:46.101 --> 00:07:51.821 which we all know for women in particular causes your lymph nodes to be clogged, 00:07:51.901 --> 00:07:58.381 which prevents all that gunk that builds up in breast tissue from being able to leave the breast. 00:07:58.721 --> 00:08:04.381 One of the reasons why a lot of women have breast cancer. My wife had breast cancer scare at 19. 00:08:04.921 --> 00:08:08.401 My mother-in-law had a double mastectomy as a cancer survivor, 00:08:08.401 --> 00:08:14.061 and my wife's grandmother passed away from the disease. 00:08:15.001 --> 00:08:19.321 But men can also get it. It can also cause all sorts of other issues. 00:08:19.341 --> 00:08:22.581 You can get lymphoma from it. You can get all sorts of diseases from it. 00:08:23.021 --> 00:08:28.941 So switching to a healthy, clean deodorant may suck at first because your body may have the detox. 00:08:29.221 --> 00:08:32.121 You'll go through that smelly phase where you might smell like an onion. 00:08:33.241 --> 00:08:37.281 But when you come out of it, whether it be a couple days or maybe a week, 00:08:37.481 --> 00:08:40.061 when you come out of it, you're going to smell a lot better. 00:08:40.241 --> 00:08:42.181 You'll go for days without having to apply it. 00:08:42.661 --> 00:08:46.441 And then when you do apply it, you're not going to have to sit there and think, 00:08:46.581 --> 00:08:51.481 oh, I'm going to smell terrible at the end of the day because this is mainly for microbial control. 00:08:51.981 --> 00:08:55.921 That's the only reason why we put deodorant on is for microbial control. 00:08:56.221 --> 00:08:59.881 And that's how I designed my deodorant is just to be able to do that. 00:09:00.181 --> 00:09:01.981 It's not meant to make you stop sweating. 00:09:02.321 --> 00:09:07.041 It's just meant to make it so that bacteria doesn't go crazy and make you smell 00:09:07.041 --> 00:09:09.301 like a blooming onion that's been out for two weeks. 00:09:10.536 --> 00:09:14.756 You know what I mean? Yeah, that's problematic because how am I going to get 00:09:14.756 --> 00:09:16.376 my wife to touch me if I smell like that? 00:09:19.716 --> 00:09:23.676 That's, you know, but, you know, it won't last, right? It won't last. 00:09:23.996 --> 00:09:27.116 So it goes away pretty quick. 00:09:27.256 --> 00:09:30.936 And a lot of the guys in the reviewers in the community, I'm convincing them 00:09:30.936 --> 00:09:32.436 to switch over to a healthy deodorant. 00:09:32.736 --> 00:09:35.776 That's why I'm helping a couple other companies develop their deodorant. 00:09:35.776 --> 00:09:40.156 I talked to Chris at True North on a couple of occasions about how to develop 00:09:40.156 --> 00:09:43.076 his deodorant, some of the tricks that I've learned on making it. 00:09:43.616 --> 00:09:47.416 Listen, the deodorant is one of the things I'm super proud of. 00:09:47.656 --> 00:09:50.256 The salve is number one. The deodorant is number two. 00:09:50.736 --> 00:09:58.556 It is a really good, good deodorant. And it's very healthy. We're coming up with some other stuff. 00:09:59.136 --> 00:10:01.696 We got this one called Driftwood and Sage. 00:10:02.456 --> 00:10:05.876 It smells like... I can't smell anything right now. my nose is clawed, 00:10:05.896 --> 00:10:09.656 but it smells like, like a light Irish spring. 00:10:09.816 --> 00:10:14.036 What's a little bit of dove, but it's got all the natural ingredients in it. You know? 00:10:15.001 --> 00:10:20.581 So, and I don't know if you guys saw my Instagram, but we're doing a collaboration, 00:10:20.901 --> 00:10:23.181 well, partnership with a guy named Limloss Boss. 00:10:23.721 --> 00:10:27.381 I don't know if you've ever seen his stuff on Instagram or Facebook or TikTok, 00:10:27.741 --> 00:10:33.681 but guy lost his legs above his knees and he's got a couple million followers 00:10:33.681 --> 00:10:41.061 on major socials, but we're doing three oils that are meant to be like working man scent profiles, 00:10:41.421 --> 00:10:44.661 you know driftwood and sage like himalayan sea 00:10:44.661 --> 00:10:47.301 salt and you know stuff that kind of 00:10:47.301 --> 00:10:50.681 reminds you of like a rugged man's soap 00:10:50.681 --> 00:10:53.901 but they're really really nice 00:10:53.901 --> 00:10:58.061 smelling very clean and pleasant oils so we're 00:10:58.061 --> 00:11:02.361 gonna be releasing those on october 1st but it's 00:11:02.361 --> 00:11:06.241 it's a he's a really good guy so i i look i try to look for people in the community 00:11:06.241 --> 00:11:11.001 that i can work with you know and like i said i work with a couple other beard 00:11:11.001 --> 00:11:16.161 oil companies to kind of develop some additional products but if that guy or 00:11:16.161 --> 00:11:21.661 woman is not going to be like trying to do that in turn and try to help somebody else. 00:11:22.461 --> 00:11:25.801 This community has been about helping each other and trying to lift each other 00:11:25.801 --> 00:11:30.421 eat all these other small batch companies up and you know that's a that's a 00:11:30.421 --> 00:11:34.281 mission for a few of a few of us in the community is to is to try to build each 00:11:34.281 --> 00:11:37.461 other up and make better products because we're all going to do something different 00:11:37.461 --> 00:11:39.861 and we're all going to hit a different market. 00:11:40.201 --> 00:11:44.601 You know, your beard may work great with my oil, whereas someone else's, it may not. 00:11:45.121 --> 00:11:49.361 Everybody's different. Everybody's nose is different. Everybody's experience is different. 00:11:49.941 --> 00:11:53.021 You know, someone may have had COVID and they can't smell anything anymore. 00:11:53.061 --> 00:11:54.181 So they don't care about scent. 00:11:54.821 --> 00:11:59.461 Whereas someone may be a super smeller and can pick out every tiny little detail. 00:12:00.281 --> 00:12:05.661 So, you know, I'm not, I'm not a gatekeeper, man you know i'm i just don't believe 00:12:05.661 --> 00:12:08.421 in it maybe the south but i'm just not really. 00:12:12.341 --> 00:12:17.961 So oh my dogs are out there going nuts because my kids are eating dinner that's 00:12:17.961 --> 00:12:19.141 all right we can barely hear them, 00:12:20.070 --> 00:12:26.030 I got a couple just like, I guess, oh, they're not random, but kind of. 00:12:26.230 --> 00:12:29.230 But we'll start out with, like, what's your daily beard routine? 00:12:29.450 --> 00:12:31.930 Do you use oil, butter, balm, a combination of them? 00:12:33.010 --> 00:12:37.690 I mean, I'm blessed the fact that I can work from home, something I earned, by the way. 00:12:39.910 --> 00:12:43.250 And so funny enough, a lot of people are complaining that they have to go back 00:12:43.250 --> 00:12:45.890 to the office because they're not doing their job well. 00:12:46.470 --> 00:12:51.130 Right.

I have the privilege and the 00:12:51.130 --> 00:12:54.410 honor of working from home and to serve my nation's veterans. 00:12:54.710 --> 00:13:00.430 It's a privilege and an honor. So, but yeah, warm shower, make sure my beard 00:13:00.430 --> 00:13:03.010 has been thoroughly cleaned. Sometimes it's with the soap. 00:13:03.430 --> 00:13:05.890 Sometimes it's just hot water, depending on the day. 00:13:06.330 --> 00:13:10.510 I have eczema on my face, so I get itchy regardless. 00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:16.290 About every second or third day, I'll do a thorough washing on my face. 00:13:16.290 --> 00:13:24.090 And then simple, keep it, pat it mostly dry, 85% dry and I'll put an oil on my beard. 00:13:24.850 --> 00:13:28.690 If I go out, I'll put a little heat on my beard to straighten it out a little 00:13:28.690 --> 00:13:31.990 bit. One of the things Argon is good for is heat. 00:13:32.430 --> 00:13:34.670 Provides a lot of protection to your beard. 00:13:36.510 --> 00:13:40.970 And at night, if I'm struggling with a headache or something, 00:13:41.130 --> 00:13:46.030 I'll put a little bit of the Cool Serenity, which is lavender, peppermint on my beard. 00:13:46.490 --> 00:13:50.190 Maybe a little bit of butter in my beard if I don't want to wear a beard oil. 00:13:51.350 --> 00:13:55.050 And that's pretty much it. It kind of varies. As my beard gets longer, 00:13:55.050 --> 00:13:57.910 I start using balm, but I'm not a real big balm guy. 00:13:58.110 --> 00:14:02.890 If I had your length, I would use it for sure. 00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:06.390 I just don't have that length, so it's not a big deal for me. 00:14:06.870 --> 00:14:11.530 But kind of a standard routine. And then my wife's got one of those shark blow 00:14:11.530 --> 00:14:15.170 dryers with a circular brush. I use that frequently. 00:14:17.198 --> 00:14:21.558 Just to clean my beard up, get all the dead skin off my face. 00:14:21.998 --> 00:14:24.798 Because you still have to do that, even if you have beard oil. 00:14:25.838 --> 00:14:32.338 What's your go-to scent profile? Man, right now, smoked cherry. 00:14:32.998 --> 00:14:38.038 That smoked cherry, again, not a fan of cherry scents because they all smell medicinal. 00:14:38.378 --> 00:14:43.218 But this smoked cherry to me is like, you had a bunch of maraschino cherries 00:14:43.218 --> 00:14:44.378 and you started burning them. 00:14:44.658 --> 00:14:46.758 They smell so good. 00:14:47.778 --> 00:14:52.978 And that's right up paul's alley right there a little bit of even tobacco scent 00:14:52.978 --> 00:14:58.858 that goes along with it it just it almost smells to me like a really strong 00:14:58.858 --> 00:15:00.458 cherry forward old-fashioned, 00:15:01.038 --> 00:15:07.718 we just did this we're doing this new one i don't have it in here but rustic woods and, 00:15:08.498 --> 00:15:14.078 nostalgia for me is is a pretty big deal so i lived up in massachusetts for a year when i was 00:15:14.178 --> 00:15:17.298 kid by the way i was born in owensboro kentucky 00:15:17.298 --> 00:15:20.118 does that how about that 00:15:20.118 --> 00:15:22.898 i'm from the western end of kentucky i 00:15:22.898 --> 00:15:26.018 live in lexton but i'm from a little town called dawson springs down 00:15:26.018 --> 00:15:29.338 there not far from owensboro oh right on yeah we 00:15:29.338 --> 00:15:32.238 weren't there long but you know maybe six months but 00:15:32.238 --> 00:15:35.898 that's where i was born that's what that's on my birth certificate ask your 00:15:35.898 --> 00:15:39.318 parents about dawson springs they uh they i'm willing 00:15:39.318 --> 00:15:41.938 to bet so i do you 00:15:41.938 --> 00:15:45.238 remember the tornadoes that ripped through uh kansas and 00:15:45.238 --> 00:15:51.218 missouri and kentucky yeah yeah yeah dawson springs is one of the two towns 00:15:51.218 --> 00:15:55.758 that was nearly wiped off the map by that tornado oh geez they filled in dawson 00:15:55.758 --> 00:16:02.278 springs but i'm going to bet your parents no no dog so i i gotta ask you before you keep on keep going, 00:16:02.838 --> 00:16:08.638 why were you born in owensboro yeah my dad was a marine corps veteran as well 00:16:08.638 --> 00:16:11.058 but he got out of the Marine Corps in 75, 00:16:11.698 --> 00:16:15.538 and he was a draftsman, so he was really good at. 00:16:16.731 --> 00:16:21.571 Really good at math and really good at knowing what a blueprint was and how to build stuff. 00:16:22.531 --> 00:16:26.391 So they wanted to send him to OCS.

Like one of the more poverty, poverty stricken states in the U S and the 00:17:52.771 --> 00:17:54.371 Dawson Springs where I grew up. 00:17:54.891 --> 00:17:58.431 It's I think the majority of the people that live there, I don't know the actual 00:17:58.431 --> 00:18:01.711 percentage, but the majority of them live below the poverty line is pretty bad. 00:18:02.921 --> 00:18:06.781 I've lived all over the state, and I've lived in several areas that are Eastern 00:18:06.781 --> 00:18:09.981 Kentucky, Western Kentucky, Central Kentucky. 00:18:10.641 --> 00:18:14.281 There's poverty.

I sold three. 00:20:05.181 --> 00:20:10.141 I was shocked. I sold two more on the website when I came home within three days of getting back. 00:20:10.361 --> 00:20:15.781 I was absolutely flabbergasted. Could not believe it. But it's nostalgia, right? 00:20:16.301 --> 00:20:21.381 Peach cobbler, key lime pie. They smell like peach cobbler. They smell like key lime pie. 00:20:21.701 --> 00:20:27.321 But I remember growing up in Massachusetts, we had a pear orchard and a lot 00:20:27.321 --> 00:20:28.701 of crab apples around us. 00:20:28.981 --> 00:20:33.561 I don't know if you guys have ever experienced this, but if you've ever walked 00:20:33.561 --> 00:20:40.481 through a lot of rotting leaves, fresh apples, rotting apples, 00:20:40.721 --> 00:20:42.861 there's like this sickly sweet. 00:20:45.075 --> 00:20:48.555 Yeah, it's almost like an apple cider vinegar, but not quite there just yet. 00:20:49.075 --> 00:20:56.875 Yeah, I mean, it smells like an ancient forest with an ancient orchard. 00:20:57.315 --> 00:21:01.655 And it's an absolutely stunning scent. We made it just for Buckeye. 00:21:02.395 --> 00:21:08.815 Everybody that smelled it said, that is one of the most unique scents that we've ever smelled. 00:21:09.515 --> 00:21:13.795 I've sold 10 of those in the last week since I got back from Buckeye. 00:21:14.215 --> 00:21:17.995 Which one is that? The rustic woods. You're about to sell another one. 00:21:19.595 --> 00:21:24.075 Just let me know what you want. And I'll make sure that whatever happens, we get it to you. 00:21:25.415 --> 00:21:28.735 I'm utterly flabbergasted at how good this thing turned out. 00:21:28.915 --> 00:21:32.195 My wife's nose, she just picked everything out. And I'm like, 00:21:32.335 --> 00:21:38.475 baby, that smells like rotting leaves and apples and fall. 00:21:38.475 --> 00:21:41.395 And i i it 00:21:41.395 --> 00:21:44.615 doesn't smell like it doesn't smell like an apple pie 00:21:44.615 --> 00:21:48.755 it smells like aged apples and 00:21:48.755 --> 00:21:51.735 it's incredible apples white birch leaves 00:21:51.735 --> 00:21:55.515 tobacco suede flannel hickory vintage 00:21:55.515 --> 00:21:58.435 leather and maple bourbon yeah it's the description 00:21:58.435 --> 00:22:01.935 on the site and some of those little sentence 00:22:01.935 --> 00:22:05.035 there's they're barely there but they weren't there to 00:22:05.035 --> 00:22:08.595 pull the whole thing which you don't smell leather right but if 00:22:08.595 --> 00:22:11.635 leather wasn't there it would totally change 00:22:11.635 --> 00:22:15.195 it well i'm a big fan of so jerry 00:22:15.195 --> 00:22:18.315 you know he mentioned that i like you know leathers and tobaccos 00:22:18.315 --> 00:22:22.295 and things like that but i'm a big fan of yeah that's me i see you looking at 00:22:22.295 --> 00:22:26.055 the phone that's me i'll refund your shipping just i'll refund your shipping 00:22:26.055 --> 00:22:31.535 on well well i appreciate that but not necessary but thank you i really like 00:22:31.535 --> 00:22:36.375 my favorite seasons of the year are definitely spring. 00:22:36.595 --> 00:22:40.975 Summer used to be, but the older I get, the more I sweat and it's not quite, 00:22:40.975 --> 00:22:42.595 you know, what it used to be. 00:22:43.639 --> 00:22:47.579 Fall is definitely, I'm a big fan of football. 00:22:47.999 --> 00:22:52.599 I'm a big fan of horror movies. I've got, you know, Pinhead and Michael Myers 00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:54.359 and Freddy tattooed on my arm here. 00:22:54.479 --> 00:22:59.239 And then the house from Psycho and, you know, Halloween and things like that. 00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:07.919 And there's a company from the Tampa Bay area that produces a really nice fall 00:23:07.919 --> 00:23:09.479 scent that I've really liked. 00:23:09.479 --> 00:23:12.919 And just from the description that I read there, I'm sure that that's going 00:23:12.919 --> 00:23:15.799 to be in one of my top fives. 00:23:15.979 --> 00:23:18.839 Whenever I get that in, I'm looking forward to using that. 00:23:19.059 --> 00:23:24.959 I really like it when companies have a fall scent that they put out, 00:23:25.159 --> 00:23:30.879 even if they carry all year round, excuse me, just to kind of separate out what 00:23:30.879 --> 00:23:33.459 they've got going on throughout the year. 00:23:33.659 --> 00:23:38.479 So I'm really excited about that. I mean, the description makes it sound like 00:23:38.479 --> 00:23:41.859 it's going to be amazing, and I'm sure that it will. So, looking forward to that one. 00:23:42.239 --> 00:23:49.179 I'll throw in the Tobacco Grove one as well. That's another really good one that I love. 00:23:49.419 --> 00:23:54.279 And I have a customer up in Massachusetts that has helped us develop quite a 00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:56.199 few times. That Tobacco Grove is another one. 00:23:56.579 --> 00:24:00.599 Well, I'm going up to Massachusetts here in a couple weeks, going to Salem in Boston. 00:24:00.899 --> 00:24:04.599 So, I'd make sure to take that with me and use it while I'm up there. 00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:06.079 Going up into Maine as well. 00:24:06.479 --> 00:24:09.799 Oh, that sounds heavenly, man. I want to do that so bad. Yeah. 00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:13.659 It's going to be pretty amazing. My sister's been planning this. 00:24:13.959 --> 00:24:18.799 I've never been on a vacation with my father and 42 years, never been on a vacation 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.099 with my dad. So I was like, I got to go, got to have it. 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:26.579 And then she planned for, we're driving and I've seen the office more times 00:24:26.579 --> 00:24:28.319 than any human being should ever see. 00:24:28.499 --> 00:24:33.859 So I'm amending my trip so that we can go through Scranton And I can actually 00:24:33.859 --> 00:24:39.679 see the Dunder Mipwon Tower from the opening of the office. And it adds no time to the drive trip. 00:24:40.159 --> 00:24:44.159 It's an 18 and a half hour trip if you don't stop. 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:48.339 So that's with three kids. That's going to be a lot of fun. 00:24:48.459 --> 00:24:56.159 But our oldest can't go because her cheer coach won't allow her to go with us.

Yeah. 00:34:22.889 --> 00:34:27.649 A couple of months ago, I actually had a really bad day and was getting a little 00:34:27.649 --> 00:34:32.849 annoyed with some of the nuances of some of the people in the community that 00:34:32.849 --> 00:34:36.629 are very kind of narrow minded and they do exist, 00:34:37.769 --> 00:34:41.949 and I messaged Dan from Bearded Death I said dude I don't want to do this anymore 00:34:41.949 --> 00:34:44.949 and he said dude are you crazy he goes, 00:34:45.489 --> 00:34:52.049 man cave is my favorite oil out of all the oils I've tried man cave is my favorite 00:34:52.049 --> 00:34:56.349 he's like what are you thinking he's like you're doing something completely 00:34:56.349 --> 00:35:01.069 different than everybody else there's no way that you can quit go and do something 00:35:01.069 --> 00:35:02.149 else for the rest of the day, 00:35:02.849 --> 00:35:05.609 We'll come back to it tomorrow. And that's what I did. 00:35:06.769 --> 00:35:14.029 And, you know, you can't undervalue that sort of, I'm sorry, 00:35:14.169 --> 00:35:18.989 you can't place enough value on that type of engagement. 00:35:19.629 --> 00:35:22.409 Someone to basically slap you upside the head from, you know, 00:35:22.489 --> 00:35:25.509 he's in Pennsylvania and say, what are you doing? 00:35:25.969 --> 00:35:30.729 You know, Rome wasn't built overnight, right? Right. Right. 00:35:32.361 --> 00:35:35.741 You guys heard me say like there's a lot of companies that white label stuff. 00:35:35.741 --> 00:35:37.081 They buy a wholesale oil. 00:35:37.741 --> 00:35:40.541 They'll put a fragrance in it and they'll stick a label on it. 00:35:40.841 --> 00:35:44.781 And that's fine. If you want to do that, that's your business model. That's all. 00:35:45.601 --> 00:35:50.021 But you know, reality of it is I'm doing something very different in the marketplace 00:35:50.021 --> 00:35:52.201 and it's going to take time to build the trust. 00:35:52.881 --> 00:35:58.701 It's going to take time to build a customer base. It's going to take time to build loyalty. 00:36:00.841 --> 00:36:05.581 But moreover, it's going to take the little engagements of, hey, 00:36:05.701 --> 00:36:11.181 that salve helped heal my legs that nothing has helped heal my legs over the last 25 years. 00:36:11.501 --> 00:36:16.661 I've had that. Hey, I've had eczema all over my body. 00:36:16.881 --> 00:36:22.421 Your salve, it's totally gone. Hey, my hands, it's so bad for years that I was 00:36:22.421 --> 00:36:26.801 unable to do anything other than be in pain. 00:36:26.961 --> 00:36:32.141 I had a 75-year-old guy at the market that I'm at, Detweiler's, 00:36:32.361 --> 00:36:36.161 I saw his hands look like lobsters. It looked like flaking. 00:36:36.761 --> 00:36:41.781 Well, it was bad. Poor guy, 75. He's like six, four. I said, 00:36:41.861 --> 00:36:42.941 sir, come over here, please. 00:36:43.381 --> 00:36:46.181 And he comes over. I said, how bad is it? You have eggs on your hands. 00:36:46.281 --> 00:36:51.001 He goes, yeah, it's really bad. I said, dude, I'll give you a jar of this on my dime. 00:36:51.701 --> 00:36:56.781 He bought it. He wouldn't accept that. But a month later, he comes back into 00:36:56.781 --> 00:37:00.701 debt whileers and says, one of the ladies working in health and wellness, 00:37:00.701 --> 00:37:02.401 His hands were completely clear. 00:37:04.256 --> 00:37:07.696 For decades, he's had this problem with his hands. 00:37:09.016 --> 00:37:14.076 He comes in and he tells this lady Valerie that. I almost cried, man. 00:37:15.156 --> 00:37:17.176 That's what all this means to me. 00:37:18.736 --> 00:37:23.656 I don't have the ability or the desire to give it away. 00:37:23.896 --> 00:37:26.976 If someone wanted to give me $5 million for the business, I'd probably turn 00:37:26.976 --> 00:37:30.856 them down because I don't think they'd do what I'm doing. I don't think they would care that much. 00:37:32.496 --> 00:37:38.676 But to say that, the goal is to be able to stick to my guns, 00:37:39.336 --> 00:37:42.376 continue to make good product, try to find a way to be innovative, 00:37:43.096 --> 00:37:49.276 try to find a way to build community and continue to try to be able to have 00:37:49.276 --> 00:37:53.556 one-on-one conversations and build that brotherhood. 00:37:53.736 --> 00:37:58.116 When I went to Buckeye and met all these guys that I've been kind of in the 00:37:58.116 --> 00:38:03.556 trenches with this business the last six months, there were hugs given with 00:38:03.556 --> 00:38:06.556 those guys that i haven't given people that i've known for 10 years, 00:38:07.776 --> 00:38:12.176 but yeah i mean we're going to continue to try to develop within the realm of 00:38:12.176 --> 00:38:14.576 what we're doing we're not going to change anything you know we're going to 00:38:14.576 --> 00:38:18.896 we're going to up the the main thing that we're doing with limb loss boss is 00:38:18.896 --> 00:38:21.476 we're going to up the amount of castor oil just to make it thicker, 00:38:22.156 --> 00:38:26.196 but other than that we're not changing anything we're keeping everything the 00:38:26.196 --> 00:38:32.096 same way you know I want to get the platform where I can get the salve and the 00:38:32.096 --> 00:38:33.436 deodorant out to more people. 00:38:34.416 --> 00:38:37.576 I'm a salve and a deodorant guy that makes beard oil on the side. 00:38:37.696 --> 00:38:40.856 That's how I view it. That's how I think about things. 00:38:42.396 --> 00:38:48.516 I'm probably going to do an eczema oil, not a salve, but an eczema oil with 00:38:48.516 --> 00:38:51.696 the same ingredients minus the butters. 00:38:53.597 --> 00:38:56.217 Try to get somebody, you know, a little bit of relief there as well. 00:38:56.417 --> 00:38:59.117 But believe it or not, beeswax plays a big part of that too. 00:39:00.077 --> 00:39:02.877 Because there's some healing benefits to beeswax. But anyway, 00:39:03.577 --> 00:39:06.657 so. Yeah, I think that answers your question. 00:39:08.937 --> 00:39:13.757 So what advice would you give either yourself starting out or you and your wife 00:39:13.757 --> 00:39:18.477 starting out or someone that's trying to start up their own beard care, 00:39:18.797 --> 00:39:21.917 skin care business? What kind of advice would you give them? 00:39:22.817 --> 00:39:25.677 I think it would all i think it all goes 00:39:25.677 --> 00:39:32.177 along to the back end stuff the discovery the process of building stuff has 00:39:32.177 --> 00:39:39.657 been really fun i would i would definitely suggest to myself early on to get 00:39:39.657 --> 00:39:43.677 professional help with the website because i struggled with the website for about, 00:39:44.417 --> 00:39:50.017 maybe 15 or 16 months to get it where i wanted it once i started understanding 00:39:50.017 --> 00:39:55.257 how everything how all the formatting worked, it's been easy to build it. 00:39:55.557 --> 00:40:00.037 But I would go back to that, the back-ended stuff, the administrative stuff. 00:40:00.997 --> 00:40:08.177 Dude, guys, let me tell you how many sheets of freaking labels that I have wasted. 00:40:08.737 --> 00:40:14.697 Hundreds of dollars in labels that I have wasted in the last two years. 00:40:15.337 --> 00:40:20.157 I can make a label from start to finish, artwork, all of it, 00:40:20.157 --> 00:40:21.937 and under an hour for a brand new product. 00:40:22.517 --> 00:40:27.897 It was days or weeks prior to this last year. 00:40:28.477 --> 00:40:31.537 And I could do it an hour from start to finish. 00:40:32.077 --> 00:40:37.957 Now, I do use AI to help with the art. I'm not an artist. But I don't steal anybody else's ideas. 00:40:38.417 --> 00:40:40.897 I don't use anybody else's copyrighted material. 00:40:42.417 --> 00:40:45.557 Everything myself so from start 00:40:45.557 --> 00:40:48.957 to finish it's me and my wife that make these products but if 00:40:48.957 --> 00:40:54.357 i had to do it all over again administratively website or hands down that would 00:40:54.357 --> 00:40:58.837 have been the thing i would have invested the money in early on and then we've 00:40:58.837 --> 00:41:03.777 talked about it kind of on the side on instagram chat but you got any like sample 00:41:03.777 --> 00:41:07.757 kits in the works yeah it's the sample kits are, 00:41:08.377 --> 00:41:13.617 yeah we're i think after october 1st i've been sort of pulling in some of that, 00:41:14.257 --> 00:41:17.817 been pulling in some of those uh those mini 00:41:17.817 --> 00:41:20.737 bottles to make the the samples the issues 00:41:20.737 --> 00:41:23.377 with the samples is that if you get you know 00:41:23.377 --> 00:41:26.397 a couple two or three milliliter bottles to do samples in 00:41:26.397 --> 00:41:29.077 or five milliliters whatever it is they tend to 00:41:29.077 --> 00:41:32.037 be messy and they're not as easy 00:41:32.037 --> 00:41:35.017 to open they're not as easy to manipulate as a one ounce bottle 00:41:35.017 --> 00:41:41.617 so i don't want to get it so if you get a tobacco grove or a rustic woods or 00:41:41.617 --> 00:41:44.777 a man cave that they're all in the thing and you're going to pick it up and 00:41:44.777 --> 00:41:49.257 one's going to smell like the other like the beard reviewers in the community 00:41:49.257 --> 00:41:52.397 they've all told me that this is a problem so, 00:41:53.077 --> 00:41:54.137 that's been my, 00:41:54.937 --> 00:42:01.197 that's been my hold up is that the other side of it is the administrative aspect 00:42:01.197 --> 00:42:06.557 of it how do you build a website out so you can say here's a sample pack of five what do you want. 00:42:07.537 --> 00:42:09.637 Where it's probably just going to be a list. 00:42:09.637 --> 00:42:12.517 I'm going to be like, you want five? You pay for five? 00:42:12.777 --> 00:42:16.437 You have to pick from the list, and you have to send me an email and tell me what you want. 00:42:17.897 --> 00:42:23.177 I'm leaning towards doing it that way. I think that'll be the easiest way to do things. 00:42:23.577 --> 00:42:28.337 And that way, the person that's making the decision actually has to go in and 00:42:28.337 --> 00:42:34.057 make a conscious decision that these scents are what I'm really interested in, 00:42:34.157 --> 00:42:36.037 and they're not just clicking a drop note. 00:42:38.069 --> 00:42:41.049 So I think that probably will be the way I go with that. 00:42:41.269 --> 00:42:46.689 So it is coming. I want to get through the October 1st Limb Loss Boss thing. 00:42:46.909 --> 00:42:48.729 He thinks we're going to do 1,000 bottles. 00:42:49.289 --> 00:42:51.829 I don't know. I think that's... 00:42:52.569 --> 00:42:54.329 He put some money into it. 00:42:55.809 --> 00:42:59.089 He gave a $1,000 investment to making this happen. 00:43:00.469 --> 00:43:06.769 So we'll do everything I can to make it happen. And he is a full-blown collaborator with it. 00:43:06.769 --> 00:43:12.429 He's going to get 20% of every sale And I'm happy to do it But yeah. 00:43:14.009 --> 00:43:19.069 Once I figure out Which way I'm going to go They'll go on there You guys are 00:43:19.069 --> 00:43:23.669 probably thinking of like a 3 to 5 Maybe a 7 Sample size, 00:43:24.609 --> 00:43:33.169 Yeah To me it doesn't really matter Usually as long as there's an option To grab one But seeing, 00:43:34.349 --> 00:43:39.149 If I see like a 5 or 6 or seven sample pack kind of makes me feel like i'm getting 00:43:39.149 --> 00:43:43.389 a deal even though i'm probably not it could be three dollars a piece or it 00:43:43.389 --> 00:43:46.709 could be fifteen dollars for a five sample packet feel like i'm getting a deal 00:43:46.709 --> 00:43:51.249 with the five sample even though i'm not it's the same price but for me, 00:43:51.929 --> 00:43:57.789 for me knowing what this like for your oil does and how it works with my beard 00:43:57.789 --> 00:44:02.229 i know it works well and with my face and everything like that at this point 00:44:02.229 --> 00:44:05.829 it's kind of trying to figure out which scent profile I want. 00:44:06.429 --> 00:44:08.229 That's usually how it is with, like. 00:44:09.307 --> 00:44:12.607 Companies that i buy sample packets from yeah is trying 00:44:12.607 --> 00:44:15.967 to narrow down which scent profile because like 00:44:15.967 --> 00:44:18.767 i said i i like depending on time of year i 00:44:18.767 --> 00:44:21.927 like like the summer bright like lemon scents and 00:44:21.927 --> 00:44:24.747 and citrus scents but i also like the the nice 00:44:24.747 --> 00:44:28.487 cologne scents and your cologne versus bearded 00:44:28.487 --> 00:44:31.427 death's cologne which i was looking up we had him on well 00:44:31.427 --> 00:44:34.707 we didn't have him on but we had his product on february of 00:44:34.707 --> 00:44:37.547 last year which we might have to reach out to him to get him on again because 00:44:37.547 --> 00:44:40.927 this was back when i think he only had like three different scents 00:44:40.927 --> 00:44:43.567 yeah this was back then i know he has a 00:44:43.567 --> 00:44:47.527 lot more now i've looked at it but your lemon or 00:44:47.527 --> 00:44:50.467 citrusy or cologne scent versus his might be 00:44:50.467 --> 00:44:53.227 completely different it is depending on how you're going to blend it 00:44:53.227 --> 00:44:57.287 together so like i said for me it's it's 00:44:57.287 --> 00:45:02.507 just kind of i know how the oil works and it i kind of want to just see a different 00:45:02.507 --> 00:45:08.227 sense without like i'll work on it i'll put some time into it this week and 00:45:08.227 --> 00:45:15.167 see how i can start narrowing it down but yeah i definitely get the the idea of how they kind of. 00:45:16.127 --> 00:45:19.607 Might blend together in the shipping they might have a little bit of leak i 00:45:19.607 --> 00:45:24.967 know they're smaller depending on which bottles you go for they might leak out a little bit and kind of, 00:45:25.927 --> 00:45:31.187 make it like infuse in the other one so i i get that i've had some that i've 00:45:31.187 --> 00:45:34.567 picked out i don't know say like a lemon scent and then a tobacco scent next 00:45:34.567 --> 00:45:35.647 thing you know they're both this, 00:45:36.107 --> 00:45:40.007 lemon tobacco scent kind of like we're we had on today i 00:45:40.007 --> 00:45:46.147 get that and then same thing with like the whiskey samples that we definitely 00:45:46.147 --> 00:45:50.067 do not send each other because that is 100% illegal and there might be some 00:45:50.067 --> 00:45:54.727 leakage in there and it's like oh i thought this was a rye and i'm I'm smelling 00:45:54.727 --> 00:45:58.527 a single malt and then I pull out the single malt out of the package and that had a small leak in it. 00:45:58.687 --> 00:46:01.407 So I definitely understand that aspect of it, but. 00:46:02.555 --> 00:46:05.775 We did buy sample boxes so we 00:46:05.775 --> 00:46:08.715 have the miniature boxes that could fit five 00:46:08.715 --> 00:46:12.335 or six cent cent bottles in there very easily it is 00:46:12.335 --> 00:46:15.275 we do have the other packaging for it too we we could 00:46:15.275 --> 00:46:19.095 make it out and then i know a few i 00:46:19.095 --> 00:46:21.935 don't know the one obviously the drop down box is easier just 00:46:21.935 --> 00:46:24.895 kind of pick which one but there's been a few just like hey here's the 00:46:24.895 --> 00:46:28.755 list i have write it in the comments on your either this 00:46:28.755 --> 00:46:31.675 order or your when you go to check out just write down what 00:46:31.675 --> 00:46:34.655 you want and i'll put it in there sort of deal and 00:46:34.655 --> 00:46:37.335 that works too honestly that might work a 00:46:37.335 --> 00:46:40.535 little bit better my customers you know i i really do i i. 00:46:40.535 --> 00:46:43.275 Want it to be as easy for that as possible but i also want them to 00:46:43.275 --> 00:46:46.095 really think about what they want that's what i was gonna say it makes 00:46:46.095 --> 00:46:48.955 it a little bit easier because i have to now go back into the website to see 00:46:48.955 --> 00:46:51.795 all right what scent is this do i actually want this scent versus 00:46:51.795 --> 00:46:54.735 oh this bourbon was the lemon 00:46:54.735 --> 00:46:57.795 bourbon blaze all right sounds good but i don't know exactly what 00:46:57.795 --> 00:47:00.595 the profile is i might 00:47:00.595 --> 00:47:03.535 think it's just a lemon bourbon not realizing that 00:47:03.535 --> 00:47:06.455 it has like a that chocolatey smokiness to 00:47:06.455 --> 00:47:09.575 it and i might not like that part of it so if you 00:47:09.575 --> 00:47:12.355 actually have to write it down you have to go back into it and see what the 00:47:12.355 --> 00:47:16.535 actual profiles are and stuff like that so it might take a little bit more time 00:47:16.535 --> 00:47:21.355 on our end but honestly it's just more of a copy and paste and it takes two 00:47:21.355 --> 00:47:26.115 seconds to look at what the scent profile is yeah and in an area i'm deficient 00:47:26.115 --> 00:47:31.755 and a lot of the guys the a lot of other owners in the community do off the samples. 00:47:32.895 --> 00:47:34.375 Alright, I'll work on it this week. 00:47:35.735 --> 00:47:39.755 And then, one more question, because we kind of talked about the other one. 00:47:39.915 --> 00:47:44.095 I was going to ask your favorite whiskey, but I guess we didn't say it on the 00:47:44.095 --> 00:47:46.355 show, but you were drinking Macallan 12. 00:47:47.055 --> 00:47:53.555 Yeah. Do you have a favorite cigar? Or a cigar that you go to more so than others? 00:47:54.075 --> 00:47:58.275 The West Tampa Circle of Life is probably one of my favorites. 00:47:58.275 --> 00:48:02.335 Let's see if I have my little, not sure I have it in here anymore. 00:48:02.335 --> 00:48:07.975 I have a little mini travel guillotine that was in here. It might not be in here anymore. 00:48:09.435 --> 00:48:15.355 There's a Series S. It's Mexican. It has a picture of a dancing lady on it. 00:48:15.755 --> 00:48:16.995 Gosh, I can't think of the name of it now. 00:48:18.115 --> 00:48:23.335 That's crazy. I can see the label. Is it like a yellow label? 00:48:23.875 --> 00:48:25.955 Yeah, Series S, Series R. 00:48:27.215 --> 00:48:32.575 Yeah I'm friends with the guys at Barrel and Binder he'd be really upset with

say overall the 00:48:43.187 --> 00:48:46.007 circle of life has been there you go 00:48:46.007 --> 00:48:49.487 that's the one yep exactly la gloria 00:48:49.487 --> 00:48:52.747 cubana series thank

that is mind-boggling, mind-boggling, 00:51:41.469 --> 00:51:45.449 so I guess I shouldn't have assumed that that was all the stuff you had, 00:51:45.529 --> 00:51:49.229 but not well, you know, it is what it is, but yeah, it's, I've got, 00:51:49.229 --> 00:51:52.409 I've got more than I'll ever be able to drink, I'll just put it that way, so. 00:51:52.549 --> 00:51:54.889 Yeah, but I mean, there's value in that, right, like I, sure, 00:51:55.169 --> 00:52:01.769 Helen, before the show, before you guys came on, there's a, a Corona cigar place 00:52:01.769 --> 00:52:07.229 down in Sarasota that has a huge wall of whiskey and bourbon and stuff like that. 00:52:07.529 --> 00:52:11.149 But they have some, I've never tried Japanese whiskey before until I went in 00:52:11.149 --> 00:52:13.829 there and oh my gosh. It's good stuff. 00:52:14.089 --> 00:52:17.269 It's also if you like scotch. Yeah, it's good stuff. Oh my gosh. 00:52:19.889 --> 00:52:24.369 If you like Japanese whiskey, let me find it real quick.

I got two bottles. 00:55:57.365 --> 00:56:00.905 One is a, I want to say, one's a nine and one's a 13-year-old, 00:56:01.565 --> 00:56:07.445 but the rum coming out of there is crazy good. Are they both homes key? Yeah. 00:56:08.597 --> 00:56:11.377 Yeah, one of them is the one that you sent out to me, right? 00:56:11.757 --> 00:56:14.877 Yeah, I'm pretty sure you, if not both of you, have had it. 00:56:15.157 --> 00:56:17.617 If not, I'll definitely send samples out to both of you guys. 00:56:17.817 --> 00:56:22.477 Well, that last bottle that you sent up to me, I believe, was... That was Barbados. 00:56:22.817 --> 00:56:26.617 Barbados, that's right. I knew there was a bee involved. But since you're in 00:56:26.617 --> 00:56:32.697 Florida, you should be able to find Holmes Key on the shelves a lot easier down 00:56:32.697 --> 00:56:35.657 there than I can. Jerry certainly can find it. 00:56:36.137 --> 00:56:40.697 And it's spelled C-A-Y, you know, H-O-L-M-E-S. 00:56:41.057 --> 00:56:46.917 But that stuff is, Jerry sent me one from Fiji, and that was the most incredible 00:56:46.917 --> 00:56:49.717 rum I've ever had in my life. Holy crap. 00:56:49.897 --> 00:56:54.837 And I found one in Texas when I was down there a few years ago for $150. 00:56:55.517 --> 00:57:00.037 And my wife just happened to be standing there when I picked the bottle up, and she saw the sticker. 00:57:00.037 --> 00:57:05.197 And I was like, I got to put this back because I can't, I can't go pay $150 00:57:05.197 --> 00:57:09.797 for this bottle while she knows how much it costs, you know, but, uh, I wanted to, 00:57:09.997 --> 00:57:13.457 because that's the only bottle that I've ever seen that Jerry sent me a sample 00:57:13.457 --> 00:57:15.857 and that's the only bottle that I've ever seen. 00:57:16.097 --> 00:57:20.117 And, and they, they, the way they, they're all single barrels that are for the 00:57:20.117 --> 00:57:20.957 most part, right, Jerry. 00:57:21.217 --> 00:57:25.717 Yeah. So I'll never, ever see another bottle probably. 00:57:26.377 --> 00:57:30.217 And I should have bought it anyway, but. Well, that's kind of sad. Yeah. 00:57:32.417 --> 00:57:36.237 So at any rate, it's, it's really good stuff. And the Belize rum, 00:57:36.237 --> 00:57:39.757 I remember Jerry, I remember trying it, but yeah, it's, yeah, 00:57:39.837 --> 00:57:41.897 that's great. That's great stuff. That's really good. 00:57:42.497 --> 00:57:48.057 Yeah. Made fantastic, you know, mixed drinks, but I drank straight and I was 00:57:48.057 --> 00:57:50.697 thrilled with how tasty it was, you know? 00:57:51.709 --> 00:57:57.709 If I drink something now, it's going to be special and worth it and a special occasion and all that. 00:57:58.229 --> 00:58:02.649 I felt it important to be able to go and be able to pick up something there. Made locally. 00:58:03.289 --> 00:58:08.669 You could tell it was crafted. It was legitimately a Belizean product. 00:58:09.169 --> 00:58:12.429 And they were very proud of it. I'm like, yep, that's got to be the one I buy. 00:58:12.789 --> 00:58:15.089 I didn't really buy much of anything else on that trip. 00:58:15.509 --> 00:58:19.749 I bought a bottle of Belizean rum and I bought a bottle of cashew wine. 00:58:20.129 --> 00:58:21.289 It was the two things I bought. 00:58:22.769 --> 00:58:25.789 Okay so i'm a big fan of wine so 00:58:25.789 --> 00:58:28.969 but it would be nice to you 00:58:28.969 --> 00:58:31.909 got some really crap rums out there i mean there's there's you 00:58:31.909 --> 00:58:36.149 know if you you being in the marine corps i'm sure you know a lot about captain 00:58:36.149 --> 00:58:43.629 morgan or sailor jerry you know things like that you know just the what it's 00:58:43.629 --> 00:58:48.569 worth it's not terrible it's not i've had my night on it i don't drink it no 00:58:48.569 --> 00:58:50.569 more I mean, I've had a lot. 00:58:50.709 --> 00:58:54.249 So I used to live with a guy that was, he was in the Army National Guard. 00:58:55.049 --> 00:58:59.589 And, you know, if the Marines drink anything like the National Guard do, 00:58:59.849 --> 00:59:03.209 I would imagine you're drinking a lot of cheap shit, you know. 00:59:03.529 --> 00:59:09.169 And so it's good that you were able to find some good rum out there because 00:59:09.169 --> 00:59:11.989 cheap shit is definitely out there. 00:59:12.269 --> 00:59:17.509 Well, first cruise we went on when my 17-year-old was turning two on the ship. 00:59:17.509 --> 00:59:24.089 We went to the Grand Cayman we went to Senior Frogs you know a yard. 00:59:26.109 --> 00:59:30.169 Went down stairs and we're like hey let's go into a little gift shop across 00:59:30.169 --> 00:59:35.369 the way we walk in and a couple people were walking out lady goes yeah we got 00:59:35.369 --> 00:59:40.609 samples in the back wall if you want to go try some Tortuga rum I'm like alright, 00:59:41.189 --> 00:59:46.309 try some Tortuga rum why not she goes yeah you can fill up your yards if you want, 00:59:48.449 --> 00:59:55.729 just trying to get rid of it we fold up our yards with tortuga rum i think i 00:59:55.729 --> 00:59:59.569 drank probably a yard and a half of tortuga rum. 01:00:03.109 --> 01:00:10.189 And then you woke up the next day we remember a whole lot senor frogs down there 01:00:10.189 --> 01:00:16.269 is insane and we went I don't know shit this would have been I think it was 01:00:16.269 --> 01:00:18.669 about 10 years no yeah about 10 years ago now, 01:00:20.075 --> 01:00:25.515 Me, my mom, my sister, and now my wife, we went and we were getting the yards 01:00:25.515 --> 01:00:29.315 of whatever the hell, margaritas or whatever the hell they were pouring in those 01:00:29.315 --> 01:00:30.555 damn yard, plastic yard. 01:00:31.035 --> 01:00:35.675 And then they get up, obviously music's going, everyone's having a party and 01:00:35.675 --> 01:00:39.675 they get on the microphone and said, free shots.

You can get their shit. 01:06:41.581 --> 01:06:49.301 You got the Añejo is like 104 bucks, but the Reposado and Blanco. 01:06:49.761 --> 01:06:53.821 So the Reposado is like 45 bucks. The Blanco is a little bit less than that. 01:06:54.361 --> 01:06:57.941 And you know, the presentation is great. The bottle is awesome. 01:06:58.701 --> 01:07:03.881 The actual juice in the bottle is, I mean, it's fantastic. 01:07:04.161 --> 01:07:09.241 The Raposado, I remember it tasted like it had... 01:07:10.786 --> 01:07:16.186 Already added to it and it doesn't but it tastes like it does and you can drink 01:07:16.186 --> 01:07:20.786 that straight the the añejo i've got that upstairs like i said it's 104 bucks 01:07:20.786 --> 01:07:26.906 and i rarely get into it but it is it's really really good they they make some 01:07:26.906 --> 01:07:30.706 really good so i saw them for the first time on on moonshiners, 01:07:31.906 --> 01:07:38.446 and so i went out and and and looked for the bottle and yep that's it right there that the Añejo. 01:07:38.686 --> 01:07:40.866 Oh, it's no, the one I have. 01:07:41.266 --> 01:07:44.466 Did you have the extra Añejo?

It was 104 when I bought it, but But the Blanco's 01:08:06.946 --> 01:08:11.126 47, I guess this is in Sarasota. 01:08:11.346 --> 01:08:14.626 The Reposado right there with that rail label, that's the first one I ever bought. 01:08:14.766 --> 01:08:17.786 That was 40-something bucks at that time. That was years ago. 01:08:17.786 --> 01:08:19.366 That's also Total Wine's website, 01:08:19.466 --> 01:08:24.846 which puts a little padding on it for themselves. Yeah, of course. 01:08:27.006 --> 01:08:33.286 It's good stuff, though. You won't regret spending the money for the bottle. 01:08:34.026 --> 01:08:37.746 I mean, it's really good. And that's saying a lot because I've drank a lot of 01:08:37.746 --> 01:08:43.586 really shitty tequila, a lot of really shitty vodka in my days, my younger days. 01:08:44.086 --> 01:08:47.366 That's some good stuff. I really like it. Well, the funny thing is, 01:08:47.446 --> 01:08:51.466 like, you can buy straight alcohol with Everclear, but you know what Everclear's good for? 01:08:52.246 --> 01:08:54.706 Stripping paint. Infusing with herbs. 01:08:56.306 --> 01:09:00.446 Infusing with herbs. Oh, yeah, yeah.

A lot of free alcohol. 01:11:19.460 --> 01:11:24.180 Yeah. Oh, yeah. A lot of. Yeah. I mean, it's money, right? 01:11:24.180 --> 01:11:29.300 It's, you know, in times that the world goes tipped up, it's, 01:11:29.300 --> 01:11:36.440 you know, it's money, it's medicine, it's, you know, all kinds of, 01:11:36.540 --> 01:11:37.960 you know, it's all kinds of things. 01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:42.800 And that's traditionally what's been used as one of the main currencies in this 01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:45.720 country pre-prohibition, right? 01:11:45.860 --> 01:11:48.540 And, you know, we like to think that we're all civilized now. 01:11:48.620 --> 01:11:52.300 And, yeah, we've got a greater civilization, but what happens when that crumbles? 01:11:52.740 --> 01:11:56.740 Sure. I've been watching a lot of Walking Dead lately. My wife had never seen 01:11:56.740 --> 01:11:58.760 it, and so we've been powering through that shit. 01:11:59.440 --> 01:12:03.760 And, you know, I don't think that we have to worry about zombies, but. 01:12:04.180 --> 01:12:07.560 At least not yet. Have you seen the former president? I'm sorry. 01:12:07.900 --> 01:12:10.900 Yeah, I feel like we already got some zombies walking around right now. That's right. 01:12:11.120 --> 01:12:17.760 Look, I've seen, I have seen reports of a fungus that's been taken over spiders. 01:12:18.220 --> 01:12:22.500 And it basically. So we got zombie spiders going on. Yeah, exactly. 01:12:22.500 --> 01:12:23.840 That's exactly what it is. 01:12:24.140 --> 01:12:27.340 It's the last of us. I didn't hate spiders enough. 01:12:27.860 --> 01:12:31.740 It's the last of us without the woke bullshit. Right? So... 01:12:33.709 --> 01:12:39.249 What a shame that they screwed that up so bad. That game, I watched that game 01:12:39.249 --> 01:12:42.209 in the movie format, just the cut scenes and stuff. 01:12:42.349 --> 01:12:45.469 I watched that, and it was powerful. 01:12:45.849 --> 01:12:49.809 Oh, it's an amazing game. They screwed it up so bad. 01:12:50.829 --> 01:12:57.169 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they did it with Marvel, too, and I grew up a comic book nerd. I still am. 01:12:57.249 --> 01:13:01.529 I have an app that lets me read Marvel comic books on my phone, 01:13:02.089 --> 01:13:05.289 and they fucked up all the the the marvel movies 01:13:05.289 --> 01:13:08.269 too with their that woke bullshit i i just you know 01:13:08.269 --> 01:13:11.189 what i look i'm i'm i'm a a 01:13:11.189 --> 01:13:16.989 conservative libertarian so libertarian is is is the the key word here let people 01:13:16.989 --> 01:13:21.169 live how they want to live but quit shoving it down our throats in every aspect 01:13:21.169 --> 01:13:26.809 of our culture let us have the i watch movies to escape real life don't shove 01:13:26.809 --> 01:13:30.109 all this crap down my throat in a movie or a TV show, right? 01:13:30.289 --> 01:13:34.069 I want to watch it to escape. You don't need to throw all the bullshit in there. 01:13:34.769 --> 01:13:39.329 The same is true with The Last of Us. They really screwed that up. 01:13:39.669 --> 01:13:42.989 And even the show runners admitted, hey, we shouldn't have done this. 01:13:43.329 --> 01:13:45.989 And so the next season is going to. 01:13:47.327 --> 01:13:50.607 There's a girl that I don't, did you, did you watch the show? 01:13:50.987 --> 01:13:55.987 I watched a few episodes and I, I just gave up on her. Okay. So insufferable man. 01:13:56.387 --> 01:14:00.067 So yeah, she is, she is. But in the second season, there's another girl that 01:14:00.067 --> 01:14:03.547 shows up and the other girl that shows up was in justified. Right. 01:14:04.227 --> 01:14:10.267 And, and she was in that. Well, anyway, she was in justified and, 01:14:10.407 --> 01:14:14.947 and she ends up being a protagonist or an antagonist in the second season. 01:14:14.947 --> 01:14:21.147 The show was going to center around her instead of the girl from Game of Thrones 01:14:21.147 --> 01:14:23.307 in the first two seasons. Interesting. 01:14:25.747 --> 01:14:32.787 It's Pedro Pascal who I used to really like as an actor and now it's just an insufferable twat. 01:14:35.627 --> 01:14:43.187 I loved him in that Nick Cage movie and then ever since then it was like completely downhill. 01:14:43.187 --> 01:14:46.187 Yeah yeah it's you know 01:14:46.187 --> 01:14:49.307 equal man the what's the movie with 01:14:49.307 --> 01:14:52.027 uh denzel washington where he 01:14:52.027 --> 01:14:56.567 plays the uh guy who helps people equalizer thank 01:14:56.567 --> 01:14:59.827 you i thought he was great equalizer too pedro 01:14:59.827 --> 01:15:04.647 pascal but he's he's a 01:15:04.647 --> 01:15:07.747 typical proto he's a prototypical hollywood nitwit 01:15:07.747 --> 01:15:10.747 yep you know and and thankfully there's 01:15:10.747 --> 01:15:13.547 some good guys that are starting to show they're starting to come 01:15:13.547 --> 01:15:16.567 out of the woodwork a little bit that are you know 01:15:16.567 --> 01:15:19.927 there's a couple guys in hollywood that have come out and said a quarter of 01:15:19.927 --> 01:15:23.687 the people in hollywood are actually conservative but you would never know because 01:15:23.687 --> 01:15:28.847 if they need to protect their jobs that's right they're afraid they're real 01:15:28.847 --> 01:15:33.867 you know yeah what was that they're afraid to get blacklisted. 01:15:35.831 --> 01:15:39.191 You can kind of see that it's possible to escape it when you see it something 01:15:39.191 --> 01:15:40.291 like Chris Pratt, right? 01:15:41.031 --> 01:15:43.811 Yeah, they're trying to cancel him now because of what he said about Charlie 01:15:43.811 --> 01:15:46.171 Kirk, which they've really been trying to get him fired. 01:15:47.711 --> 01:15:53.651 He came out last year wearing a shirt with an American flag on it that said 01:15:53.651 --> 01:15:57.711 something like, we the people or something like that, and they've been trying to cancel him since. 01:15:58.191 --> 01:16:04.031 Yeah, it's fucking ridiculous.

I mean, whatever, you know, 01:16:32.331 --> 01:16:33.631 you got a lot to say about it. 01:16:34.191 --> 01:16:36.991 Nobody wants to listen you know we we can talk about it amongst 01:16:36.991 --> 01:16:40.031 ourselves all we want to but it's it's we're preaching 01:16:40.031 --> 01:16:43.311 to the choir it's not making a difference you know people are uh 01:16:43.311 --> 01:16:46.271 but this charlie kirk thing is really i've seen 01:16:46.271 --> 01:16:51.611 a lot of folks just today that are people that were on the other side of the 01:16:51.611 --> 01:16:55.671 aisle that are coming out and saying you know uh like patrick mahomes which 01:16:55.671 --> 01:17:01.071 he he is a christian man but he's he's very high profile and he even came out 01:17:01.071 --> 01:17:05.371 and said you know to celebrate this man's death is absolutely disgusting, you know? 01:17:05.671 --> 01:17:08.511 And, and so people like that, when they come out and say things like that, 01:17:08.631 --> 01:17:10.611 that, that does help. So yeah. 01:17:11.891 --> 01:17:15.691 Yeah, no, I agree, man. I, I think the whole thing is tragic. 01:17:15.691 --> 01:17:19.771 You know, and then he got the guy, white hat, white shirt, Frank Turek, 01:17:19.911 --> 01:17:25.371 which is a huge, huge friend of, of, of Charlie Kirk. And he's standing near the stage. 01:17:25.491 --> 01:17:29.291 They're like, well, he was signaling. I'm like, that man was one of the Charlie 01:17:29.291 --> 01:17:31.091 Kirk's closest friends. 01:17:32.581 --> 01:17:36.761 Closest friends and allies. There's a lot that's conspiracy. 01:17:37.601 --> 01:17:41.201 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because we just went through this on our other podcast. 01:17:42.421 --> 01:17:47.941 There's a lot. Because that guy, I know he was Charlie's best buddy, 01:17:48.121 --> 01:17:53.121 but he was standing next to the guy that was at Trump's fatal, 01:17:53.121 --> 01:17:56.321 not fatal, but the shot in his ear. 01:17:56.501 --> 01:17:59.741 And the other guy, there's a lot. There's a lot. We don't need to get into on 01:17:59.741 --> 01:18:05.781 this podcast, but there's a lot of... Yeah, you can head on over to Spirits and Secrets. 01:18:06.181 --> 01:18:10.961 And I'm not sure when that episode is dropping, but these two fine gentlemen, 01:18:11.201 --> 01:18:14.281 Adam and Paul, I believe just recorded an episode. 01:18:14.541 --> 01:18:16.461 We did. That recorded on Wednesday. 01:18:17.021 --> 01:18:21.061 So there's a little plug there for you guys. Not to get overly religious, 01:18:21.241 --> 01:18:27.621 and that's not the point, but the serpent in the garden told Eve 95% of the truth. 01:18:28.441 --> 01:18:34.461 Right. The 5% that was a lie made the whole thing a lie That's right That's 01:18:34.461 --> 01:18:35.901 how things are today, right? 01:18:36.081 --> 01:18:40.281 I mean, you can see that there's quite a bit That's pretty straightforward But 01:18:40.281 --> 01:18:44.521 that 5% sometimes makes everything feel very, 01:18:44.641 --> 01:18:53.041 very bad And the problem is that we focus on the 5% And that's a flaw in society 01:18:53.041 --> 01:18:56.021 Because we don't trust anybody anymore, right? 01:18:56.221 --> 01:19:00.341 And how can we? and how can we? The problem is how can we? 01:19:00.701 --> 01:19:07.101 To circle back to Jen Psaki this, to circle back, I don't like her brother. To circle back. 01:19:09.601 --> 01:19:12.701 The food, the medicine, all of it. 01:19:13.541 --> 01:19:18.461 It's systemic and systematic control. They feed you bad food. 01:19:18.661 --> 01:19:20.461 They make you get on their medicine. 01:19:21.181 --> 01:19:25.481 They dump you down with crap in the water. And at the end of the day, 01:19:25.481 --> 01:19:29.261 you're more willing to accept the crap that they feed you over the airwaves. 01:19:29.801 --> 01:19:33.821 Once you start breaking that cycle, once you start recognizing that your food 01:19:33.821 --> 01:19:37.861 ain't so great, that you're able to provide some better nutrition for yourself, 01:19:37.861 --> 01:19:41.241 you don't get on the pharmaceutical, your high blood pressure, 01:19:41.401 --> 01:19:43.701 which I am a high blood pressure med. Same. 01:19:44.321 --> 01:19:50.441 But you can get off those things. You become less willing to accept that you 01:19:50.441 --> 01:19:51.461 don't need side effects. 01:19:52.141 --> 01:19:56.081 Right? You don't need to have the side effect in your life in order to be able 01:19:56.081 --> 01:19:57.221 to manage the other things. 01:19:57.861 --> 01:20:02.261 Once you're able to break free from that, you're able to do a whole bunch of very exciting things. 01:20:04.041 --> 01:20:07.701 Again, it's hard to break free from that because that's what we're programmed 01:20:07.701 --> 01:20:09.981 to believe. That's what we're programmed to do. 01:20:10.341 --> 01:20:15.821 I know, and that's why we like your refreshing stance on ingredients and the 01:20:15.821 --> 01:20:16.961 products that you're putting out. 01:20:17.221 --> 01:20:23.321 And that's why I'm about to place my order for a few of your products as well because, you know, 01:20:24.380 --> 01:20:27.300 what you're doing and i think you're doing it right and i hope other 01:20:27.300 --> 01:20:33.180 brands take notice and fall in line 100 i'm going to tell you right now the 01:20:33.180 --> 01:20:37.480 fur and the hide i highly recommend you guys talk to him he's a he's a cool 01:20:37.480 --> 01:20:43.300 dude he has a really interesting way of thinking about things we we heard in 01:20:43.300 --> 01:20:46.920 text and discord on friday night we sometimes on there for six hours, 01:20:47.760 --> 01:20:52.300 talking about various stuff but a lot of us in there are like better ingredients 01:20:52.300 --> 01:20:57.660 better stuff for our faces better stuff for our families there's a lot of people 01:20:57.660 --> 01:21:01.440 that actually really believe in that not better ingredients better pizza i know 01:21:01.440 --> 01:21:02.100 that's what you're thinking, 01:21:03.120 --> 01:21:09.680 i saw it that's what you're thinking wasn't it i i thought of you i used to 01:21:09.680 --> 01:21:12.980 work for papa john's when i was in hawaii i used to deliver pizza to them. 01:21:14.780 --> 01:21:19.600 So but no i mean i i think you're starting to see a resurgence of of people 01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:23.840 taking better control over the things that they want to have in their body or on their body. 01:21:25.020 --> 01:21:29.420 And it's refreshing. It's really refreshing to see. There's a long way that we have to go. 01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:33.660 Because again, there's a lot of companies that start up that are just white labeling crap. 01:21:35.300 --> 01:21:39.720 And most of the stuff, it's a dime a dozen. We've got to get past that. 01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:40.900 We've got to start thinking bigger. 01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:44.600 Absolutely. There's my soapbox. 01:21:46.920 --> 01:21:50.020 We're behind you.

Hold on, let me pull up my calendar. 01:22:34.860 --> 01:22:38.280 Third weekend of October is something called the Kelttoberfest. 01:22:38.400 --> 01:22:43.220 That's October 18th at Motorworks brewery in Bradenton. 01:22:43.520 --> 01:22:48.320 They have a 10 hour long festival with Celtic metal bands. 01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:53.620 We're going to be, my, my company's going to be there. My wife's Tumblr company is going to be there. 01:22:53.740 --> 01:22:58.280 We're going to do a very special Guinness inspired beard oil. 01:22:58.480 --> 01:23:02.720 I found a really nice, clean Guinness profile. 01:23:03.560 --> 01:23:08.100 Obviously it's not the real deal, but you know, you can only do so much and 01:23:08.100 --> 01:23:11.480 we're going to be selling that special at the event. I may go on the website. 01:23:12.813 --> 01:23:17.593 Constantly building new things. We're going to be working on a women's line that features retinol. 01:23:18.113 --> 01:23:21.793 I've had a couple of customers who's my beard butter. 01:23:22.113 --> 01:23:27.033 Their wives use it for whatever their problems are. 01:23:27.333 --> 01:23:31.993 And they're using that as opposed to the $90 Clinique crap. And they're not 01:23:31.993 --> 01:23:34.413 buying the $90 Clinique crap anymore. 01:23:34.973 --> 01:23:40.753 So I just bought some retinol. I'm going to start making retinol infused butters for the ladies. 01:23:41.393 --> 01:23:45.373 We're going to be working on the eczema oil Just so we have an oil to go along 01:23:45.373 --> 01:23:50.193 with the salve So we're constantly Trying to innovate and get better We have 01:23:50.193 --> 01:23:53.593 the limb loss We have the limb loss boss. 01:23:55.333 --> 01:24:02.473 This is This is Koda He's almost a four month old Australian shepherd So, 01:24:04.113 --> 01:24:12.453 That's a big boy for four months What was that? That's a big boy for four months. 01:24:12.793 --> 01:24:15.073 Yeah, he'll be about 65 pounds, 60 pounds. 01:24:15.753 --> 01:24:22.433 Oh, yeah. We're constantly trying to make something better to provide more diverse 01:24:22.433 --> 01:24:26.413 product while not spending a ton of money out of our pockets to make it happen. 01:24:27.233 --> 01:24:33.533 You know, we, our goal is to be able to enter into different avenues, 01:24:34.133 --> 01:24:39.193 with different customers to mainly get them to see that there's better ways to do, 01:24:39.673 --> 01:24:46.593 to do things obviously the beard oil is a big passion now but you know if i 01:24:46.593 --> 01:24:51.993 can get if i can get five people a month to switch to natural deodorant you 01:24:51.993 --> 01:24:55.973 know especially for the ladies that might those might be five women that never 01:24:55.973 --> 01:24:57.393 get breast cancer and then, 01:24:59.040 --> 01:25:03.140 So, you know, that's a huge deal for me. That's our passion project, 01:25:03.420 --> 01:25:06.180 along with the salve, S-A-L-V-E. 01:25:08.600 --> 01:25:15.680 Again, so just a salve is something like that's got like an oily but waxy consistency. 01:25:16.080 --> 01:25:21.380 So if you look at petroleum jelly, you can almost look at that as being a salve, right? 01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:26.440 But a salve is meant to dissolve. So your skin is going to absorb the salve, 01:25:26.580 --> 01:25:28.600 whereas petroleum jelly, you really don't absorb it. 01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:36.200 So yeah other than that man we just i'm going to do the ybor city cigar festival in december, 01:25:36.820 --> 01:25:39.880 i'll be one of the only non-cigar vendors there i 01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:43.460 have to come up with about five or six really good tobacco style 01:25:43.460 --> 01:25:46.060 and you know cognac i have a 01:25:46.060 --> 01:25:49.260 good cognac i just got in we're going to make a cognac oil 01:25:49.260 --> 01:25:52.040 piece there's some stuff we're going to be working on that 01:25:52.040 --> 01:25:54.700 should be pretty cool for that event but i'll be 01:25:54.700 --> 01:25:57.740 one of the only vendors there besides food trucks that are not cigars 01:25:57.740 --> 01:26:00.500 so hoping that that 01:26:00.500 --> 01:26:04.440 you know is a worthwhile event and 01:26:04.440 --> 01:26:07.400 then next year Buckeye Beard Battle it's September of 01:26:07.400 --> 01:26:10.260 next year and then we're going to hope to start getting 01:26:10.260 --> 01:26:15.320 to some other events I'm a member of the Renegade Beard Club even though I'm 01:26:15.320 --> 01:26:23.940 not overly active but I'm sponsoring an event up in New York with the not Renegade 01:26:23.940 --> 01:26:29.060 it was Renegade and another big one I'm losing my mind. 01:26:29.380 --> 01:26:31.300 Anyway, not Renegade. 01:26:31.820 --> 01:26:35.000 So, I've been sponsoring some various events across the country, 01:26:35.400 --> 01:26:40.240 you know, sending some oils up and donating the money to some causes just, 01:26:40.480 --> 01:26:45.800 you know, to help with some charitable, worthwhile organizations for veterans especially. 01:26:46.460 --> 01:26:52.140 But other than that, you know, just trying to take one day at a time and engage 01:26:52.140 --> 01:26:57.240 with good guys like you that care about the community and, you know, 01:26:57.240 --> 01:27:00.140 Releasing good content that's informative, which is cool. 01:27:01.700 --> 01:27:07.520 We try.
