Collin Funkhouser  00:05

Welcome to Oh, brother, a podcast where we try to figure it all out with your hosts, Brandon. And Colin. On this week's show. The sun is kind of bright. Oh boy.

Brandon  00:17

Oh boy. Yeah. How's it going? Go pretty good. I think how are you? Oh, well,

Collin Funkhouser  00:26

you know, it's interesting. Interesting. No.

Brandon  00:34

Doesn't that sound great? Let's smoke.

Collin Funkhouser  00:38

It's okay. You know, things don't happen you know, it's still still rocking on. So that's what's important, you know? Oh, yeah, no,

00:56

no, no. No, it's okay.

Brandon  01:00

These are not like, overly positive words that you're saying laying out currently, you

Collin Funkhouser  01:09

know, it's one of those things where

Brandon  01:13

where you just kind of wonder

Collin Funkhouser  01:15

you're like, okay, like, what's going to happen next, because that's what I want to know. So I can maybe prepare a little bit, you know, get ahead of things because that'd be kind of nice to not

Brandon  01:30

go down. It's all gone wrong.

Collin Funkhouser  01:36

It has, but you know, it's okay. Keep telling Megan like, you know, oh, so what am I, one of our clients?

01:43

He is 84. And

Collin Funkhouser  01:46

he and his wife are just the absolute sweetest people on the face of the earth. And I talked to

01:52

him a couple times a week and he's to it'll

Collin Funkhouser  01:58

tell me a lot of same things, but it's fine. And one thing that he says and it's good because I need this repetition of he'll remark about how his there was a manager Jim, again, this is 50 or 60 years ago at this point, but I'll say how

Brandon  02:12

long ago was Jim?

Collin Funkhouser  02:16

Jim was between 50 and 60 years ago because again anyway he'll say it was he talked about it was one of his first jobs and the first like he was kind of just now getting into management and things like that and

02:29

he'll say yeah as my as Jim say there's always something

Brandon  02:37

he was wow I'm incredibly positive outlook

Collin Funkhouser  02:42

he's a Jim would always say that kind of like is here here we have my my client will come running in and be like, frustrated and like working on it like hey, we got to do this and what about this and this things happen and blah blah, and Jim would just go yeah, there's always something I can't it was a way of like, you know, if you if you if you come at everything with this much gusto and zeal like you're not going to make it till

Brandon  03:09

that's fair either.

03:11

Come down

Brandon  03:15

okay, that's that's fair. That's a fair assessment right?

Collin Funkhouser  03:18

Yeah. Like like look yeah, you can't you can't run yourself like this for everything that happens and

Brandon  03:29

III because I have a lot of things I want to say. I really want to be worried. Oh, no, just let me worry.

Collin Funkhouser  03:42

So I've been trying to remind myself

03:44

there's always something

Collin Funkhouser  03:47

just things to have of the as we're on phrases that I say almost all of the time things like it's not my fault, but it is my problem.

03:55

This is

Collin Funkhouser  03:59

I hate this phrase because it's so applicable just like on a daily basis. Like just I mean, it's little things like

04:09

today so

Collin Funkhouser  04:11

every once a month, our local Chamber of Commerce hosts a chamber breakfast where you can come in and have breakfast and listen to the updates of the town and you know, see how things are going and I like it it helps us kind of see what's not like the Chamber dinner is it they don't invoice you for your know you pay at the door you pay $1 Mark Okay, so we do we do think of like okay, do we need to go to this to be nominated, but it's like 10 bucks. So it's like okay, I'll just I'll just go do this and listen to this city update on stuff and the city planner and I can listen to this business talk about this thing and this nonprofit and this kind of our, our state representative attends this so it's that's nice. That's I feel like that's kind of fun to hear what he's got going on and things like that. So it does end up being somewhat productive. Well, they have these aspects these have these things called them marketing minute where a business can sign up to stand up in front of everybody and talk about their business for

05:05

one minute.

Collin Funkhouser  05:09

We were contacted today about whether we wanted to do this or not. And they needed like an immediate answer. So we were like, oh, yeah, sure. Hey, and here's, here's the thing. Here's the thing that you learn after a little while, anytime anybody offers you,

Brandon  05:24

anything, anything, no matter what you always ask, what do you need from me?

Collin Funkhouser  05:32

You don't ask, Do you need anything from me? You say, What do you need from me? Right? And so this morning, we sent out were like, yeah, absolutely, we'll be there. Hey, what do you need from us? Because I don't know, I've whatever. And the day goes on, and I forget about this. And then at 430, they email and they say, of course, Hey, um, you know, if you want, we can show your website behind you while you're talking. And then most people who do this giveaway a door prize,

Brandon  06:03

see you tomorrow. information I need before 430. And I'm like, so now I'm like,

Collin Funkhouser  06:11

it's 430. Yeah, everything is closing. And the fist is at 730. Tomorrow. Like, so luckily, I

Brandon  06:22

have this tennis ball. Great

Collin Funkhouser  06:29

idea what I was, like Megan said, like, I was like, Can we give them a gift certificate for us? And I was like, No, I think I was like, No, I think I said, this is all coming back to me. And like, they had mentioned that. Something about door prizes and local places. And so I was like, I don't know if that applies here or not. So then we start to think of zero hit local place. I'm a local place. And I'm like, Okay, let's, but not everybody has a pet and whatever, and blah, blah, okay, I can't do all that. So I'm like, Okay, let's think of a local place that we could give a gift certificate to, with the price of eating out. I'm like, Well, I can't do as a restaurant. And I don't want to go to like a supply store. And I there's not a service here in town that I can do for 20 bucks, because again, I don't want to spend a lot of money this. So we come to Megan's like, well, it's either coffee or dessert. And so at 435 is frantically calling all of the coffee places. And one of them I finally get through and I'm like, hey, I need to buy a gift certificate. And they say, awesome. We sell gift certificates. And Megan has the wonderful insight to ask,

Brandon  07:35

is it a physical gift certificate is? And they said, No.

Collin Funkhouser  07:41

Just all you need to do is just give us the email of the person you want to send it to. And then we can send it to

Brandon  07:46

them. And I went like, what if I want a door prize?

Collin Funkhouser  07:49

I said, What if I don't know who I'm sending it to? And there was a long pause. They're like, well, we need an email. And so I my thought was okay, well, can I give you my email? So you'll send it to me? And then can I then forward that on to the next person so that they can use it?

Brandon  08:04

And then it's like this? No. You should have mentioned the word I need a door prize,

08:16

and they haven't been like, Ah, okay, no, sorry, I can't help

Collin Funkhouser  08:20

you. No, I cannot unless your door is your email inbox.

08:25

The door to the Internet right now.

Collin Funkhouser  08:31

Oh my gosh, I was like, okay, so I called another place. And the URL phone line just this completely doesn't work. I called through, they had three different numbers listed across the internet's that I found. So I was like, frantically calling those. I call this other place. I call the fro yo place and their number was completely disconnected. And then I was like, well, we can either buy gift certificate to an arcade, or this other coffee shop. So big. It was like, a coffee shop. So I called that coffee shop. And they were like, Yeah, we we got gifted with over here. And actually, actually, before even called them Lillian came in and she goes, Oh, they have those by the cash register. And I was like, I should have asked you before I called people. I like

Brandon  09:17

how you spend so much time in coffee shops that your daughter knows the layout of all the stores and you're like, oh yeah, that's what we're here. For one thing. I think this is indicative of some sort of problem like I really.

09:35

Yeah.

Collin Funkhouser  09:38

About Me. So now I'm like, I confirmed that you got to close at five and close to five or like I'm coming right now. Now. Thankfully, our town is very small. So like, and also I live very close to this coffee shop, which is probably why my daughter knows the layout of the inside of this one.

Brandon  09:57

I would imagine these two things aren't related. Yes. Unknown correlations or whatever.

Collin Funkhouser  10:04

What did I see the other day saw, I mean, that said 100% of the people who misrepresent correlation and causation are dead. So there's that. It's funny. So we drove down and got our thing, but it was another okay. Like, I didn't do this. I didn't wait till 430. But it is my problem to now solve this for tomorrow to make this happen. And I was very frustrated by this. And it's things like that that happened all the time, where it's just like, I didn't do this. This wasn't me. I ha, okay. Well, we'll figure it out. Right. And it's like, Paul,

Brandon  10:43

McCarthy, this is where you and I differ dramatically in that? Yeah, it's not my problem. And I'm not going to fix it for you. And that's really kind of where it stops, right? I'm just like, spiteful

10:58

enough? Where, in a lot of situations, I'll just be like, Oh, well.

Brandon  11:06

And Susan, I have disagreements about this a lot. Because she is very much in your camp of like, oh, well, I

11:12

can solve this problem. And I'm like, it's not. It's not mine to solve that my

Brandon  11:16

way until, after you close business,

11:20

to email me. And give me you know, 12 hours of notice on things I need to do for you. Yeah, yeah, I'm not

Brandon  11:36

too bad. So sad, right. A tradition to give again, sorry, I would Loudly say in my speech, something like I was not notified in time to be able to do anything. So I'll catch you next time.

Collin Funkhouser  11:49

Right. Let me back up here next time. Yeah.

Brandon  11:53

I don't know. I'm just like, I'm just like, grumpy about things. I'm like, Yeah, I'm not gonna do that. I don't think so.

Collin Funkhouser  12:00

Alright, could not?

Brandon  12:04

Or not, how about that? Like, Megan?

Collin Funkhouser  12:07

And I really did. I mean, we stared at one another. And we're just like,

12:09

do how do

Collin Funkhouser  12:13

we put in this effort? Or do we just try and roll with this and go, look, it's not maybe not this time? We can't We can't make it work this time. But we're also going yeah, we want to, we want to be a good showing, and we want to be a good sport to me want to, you know, make sure things are. So we almost didn't do it. I will say we're very close to not

Brandon  12:33

doing it. But I I am surprised that you agreed solely on the terms of we need you to talk for only one minute now. So this is where this is. Headed by I believe this is episode 235. Yes. So

Collin Funkhouser  13:01

on that, I, I, I'm good at filling time. That's definitely. So I have a script that like are like bullet points, like big and I write Okay, well, so what we've tried to do is more of like, okay, we've got something to figure out. We need to do is we're going to walk the neighborhood, and we're going to talk about it. Now I'm sure that this has freaked out our neighbors for like what they hear us talking about with the veracity of which we speak. So in that case, that's probably why are white neighbors don't wait to us anymore. But that's fine. It's

Brandon  13:40

wildly gesticulating each other while walking down the road. They're probably saying pretty much. What do you do? So

Collin Funkhouser  13:51

we did go for a walk, and we were talking and walking, which is fine, except when do you really need to like be paying attention to seconds. When you're out on a walk on a sidewalk? It's hard to do that when nobody's timing. So we like put all these ideas together. And we like walk through the script of a meeting. Like we're bouncing it oh, now that we can say this or phrase it this way, and then they go this way. And so we got home and I wrote it all down and I liked and I read it and I was like, Oh, this is nine and a half minutes long.

Brandon  14:20

Hi. Oh, how do I? Why not? Look? I it's it's I will walk your dog so you don't have to.

14:37

Anyway, actually, I

Brandon  14:38

wish see if you would have told me this earlier, what I would have done for you. Right, I'll offer you this service next time. I will give all of your information to a sixth grader. Sixth graders are notorious for writing as little as humanly possible at all times. And so we will get this condensed Okay that was 37 seconds ago. Yeah, let's go

15:09

in I will

Collin Funkhouser  15:18

and I haven't been handed this to read for you today. So yeah, for coming

Brandon  15:29

don't forget to spay and neuter your pets. Right? Boom, done, Mark. Go. I I, yeah, it's gonna

Collin Funkhouser  15:43

be so I'm trying to know, pin this down and make it so that it's because it is hard. I don't I don't want to just get up that we don't want to get up there and just

15:55

talk about random like,

Collin Funkhouser  16:00

lists of what we do, because it's really boring. We want it to try and tell a story. I feel

Brandon  16:06

like the story should be why you why you do it. Route. So I you pursue this while you continue to strive to be the best that you can. Yeah, well

Collin Funkhouser  16:18

see what I what my story that I wanted to tell them was the insurance story that our insurance talks about, of why it's important to have insurance and he's people who have insurance. I can't sell it's under a minute. So it's impossible. But here's the story of the detail. This is an actual Insurance Claim ready, actual insurance claim. dog walker walking down the side of the street with a dog dog slips out of a harness and races across the street. Bystander reaches out to grab the dog, the dog turn bites their hand, the person throws them and pushes the dog back out into the street, a car slams into the dog

Brandon  16:53

airbags deploy. So the insurance pays for

Collin Funkhouser  16:59

the surgery on that person's hand pays for the vet bills for the dog, which did survive likely pays for the new bumper. Oh, and by the way, that airbag that deployed for that car was for a neurosurgeon. And when the airbag deployed, he broke his hands. And he sued for lost wages

17:17

as a neurosurgeon, oh,

Collin Funkhouser  17:22

in addition to the fees that it would take for his medical expenses. And so you're here you're talking about, I think the ultimate payout was like over $5 million

17:31

for this.

Brandon  17:35

That's pretty crazy. Also, that whole story, right? There was definitely under a minute when you told me like that. So I typed you, just so you know. You're not suffering anything else. But But I didn't want to

17:49

come out and be super negative stuff. Because that's not fair. Fun.

Brandon  17:56

So I tried. I wanted to

Collin Funkhouser  18:06

be more positive, right. So tell a story about like, how we actually help somebody. Yeah.

18:12

But true.

Brandon  18:15

It's kind of hard to do a one minute summary of your self. Right. Especially because I imagine most of the people just like mission

18:22

statement. Services. Done. Yeah, that's not really how

Brandon  18:30

your thing works, right? It's not really like,

18:34

no, no, no.

Collin Funkhouser  18:37

Whilst that's boring, and no one wants that. So exactly. So I have as Yeah, it's hard because you don't have to come up and say, you know, introduce myself because we're still relatively new to going to these things. So I have to say who we are on our company, and then I'm gonna say, Well, let me just tell you what I'm gonna say. And you can say it's, this is more than a minute, but it's okay. Alright, so workshopping, workshopping this, I'm gonna say, Hi, this Colin, my wife Megan. I run in certainly with dog walking and pet sitting business here. Our mission is to help pet parents live their best life through every stage of life with their pet. I could tell you about our adventure hikes and the nearby trails or our insurance coverages that protect you and your pets. I could tell you about our background checks and our wedding pet attendant services. But today I want to tell you about how we are helping local people here in town. One of our clients heard her husband were having an increasingly busy and hectic days and really found it difficult to get back to their pups in the middle of the day, to let them out for potty time and play time. Even with the help of friends and family, they were looking for something way more reliable and consistent. So they reached out to us and we started doing visits three times a week, during the middle of the day. But soon that found that those other two days were just as busy and just as chaotic. So now we come over five days a week, every week for intense playtime, snuggles and enrichment. Now they never have to wonder if the care that they need is being taken care of because They can always see the day and time that we're coming over in our software. They also always get an alert when we arrive, and they get a full report with photos, video and description of the fun that we had. We are passionate about people helping passionate people.

20:15

Check us out on our website or on social media.

Brandon  20:18

You know, it's only like a minute and 10 seconds. I think a close not it's not too bad, right? I think you're there.

20:26

I think you're in there.

Collin Funkhouser  20:27

Right? So anyway, so that's what I'm gonna go with.

Brandon  20:31

I don't know. But I want to be trying to be positive for that, so it's a little bit more

Collin Funkhouser  20:43

law. And it's not quite as gotcha as the insurance. But it is one that I throw out there. Every now and then when people are talking. They're like, Oh, yeah, I, you know, I used to do that and like, Oh, that's cool. Okay, tell you what happened to this person up in the Northeast.

Brandon  21:01

I'm telling this guy that I'm tangentially affiliated with. Yeah,

Collin Funkhouser  21:04

I just wanted parties.

21:07

Yeah, man. This is so exciting. Riveting

Collin Funkhouser  21:15

it Yeah. So that's what I'm getting ready to do tomorrow. And then we'll be off

21:21

on our adventure. Do stuff nice. Yeah. Yeah. Prizes about blue there. Hey, quick,

Collin Funkhouser  21:31

quick, Missouri State Fair update grants. Oh, I

Brandon  21:33

love a Missouri State Fair update. Okay.

Collin Funkhouser  21:37

So last time we found that what was his name? Ian months it was coming up. Yes. Was it last announced the one and only remaining date that they had to announce was that for the grandstand was August 17.

21:51

And they haven't announced anybody yet.

Brandon  21:53

Still waiting.

21:56

Playing Ames? Wait. Yes. Yeah. Yep. So

Collin Funkhouser  22:00

the Missouri State Fair grandstand watch continues. Or we go

Brandon  22:07

okay, for 2020 for State Fair for State Fair countdown. legally distinct.

Collin Funkhouser  22:24

Oh, my gosh, I was going through. I was once I was trying to find something. And I found what I needed. So I went, that's the

Brandon  22:38

one does that's important. Stein. Yeah. Just

Collin Funkhouser  22:43

like, Oh, right. That's what I do.

Brandon  22:47

I do that or sometimes I will also do the Zelda chest opening music. They're like, Danna, I do that. To myself also. So don't it's totally not weird. It's perfectly normal. Everyone does it. It's fine.

Collin Funkhouser  23:05

Yeah, I think I question the sanity of people who don't have celebratory music throughout their days. Why would you

Brandon  23:12

not have the Final Fantasy victory music just accompany you throughout the day? That's really important for your life.

23:18

I think that that's

Collin Funkhouser  23:19

probably one of the reasons that anybody I'm just saying here. I'm just scoring in correlation causation. It's.

23:27

Yeah, I think it's a big deal. You should do that. I think.

Collin Funkhouser  23:33

Everybody needs more celebratory music. Yeah.

Brandon  23:37

He's better if it's from random video games. That's the best. No, that's absolutely necessary. That way. We nobody knows what's going on. Yeah, it is.

Collin Funkhouser  23:54

So what's what's what's happening in your neck of the woods?

Brandon  23:59

Well had some very exciting

24:03

not exciting, I guess. But my annoyance

Brandon  24:07

of the day, right centers around everyone's favorite thing. User Interface. Right. So would you like to take a stab at what

24:19

entity has

Brandon  24:21

just like a relatively horrible user interface? That doesn't work properly. And it took me forever to get it to work on my computer today. And like I had to call a lady and her response was

24:36

did you try clearing your browser cache? I was like that. What? That's not an answer.

Brandon  24:43

What are you talking about? No, no.

24:46

Um, oh, gosh,

Collin Funkhouser  24:49

I don't I I mean,

24:51

I what I just finished probably might.

Collin Funkhouser  24:53

I just finished filing taxes today. So that's what's on my mind, but

Brandon  24:56

I already did that. So you

Collin Funkhouser  24:59

No, I have no idea. It's

Brandon  25:02

the AC T. It's why it's why I am an AI. I am the AC T room supervisor. Oh, gosh, or the upcoming

25:19

test on Saturday. That sounds utterly atrocious.

Collin Funkhouser  25:23

Well, yeah, but they pay for this. Okay, well, that sounds less atrocious.

Brandon  25:29

But the problem is, the website that I was trying to get to work properly is the website where you sign up for them to pay you, Steve for quite a while back, which weirdly, is not connected at all, to the site that you sign up for, to do your training. And you have a little really things for giving the test. Like that website is different. Right. And it has all the like stuff, like the room information and all that all that stuff, right, like the official day thing. There's like a separate place you have to go to sign up for them to you know, provide you monetary compensation. It's very bizarre. It is it is it doesn't make very much sense. And the lady, the test coordinator, lady who's the counselor, she was like, Well, I tried to do it for you. But apparently you have to have you have to like register with them. And I was like, like did for this thing. She's like, No, no, you have to register somewhere else. And I was like that. What's? Why would you do

Collin Funkhouser  26:44

that. So you had to go to a separate seat. There was one place to register. But that was not the place to register for this. You

26:50

had to go? Yeah.

Brandon  26:53

Like I had the other thing already done. I like signed up, right, like assigned the thing that did all the stuff read through all the thingies, right?

27:02

Blah, blah, cool, no problem. And then it was just like,

Brandon  27:09

I don't know what to do next. Like, there was a few paragraphs about monetary compensation. Where's that? Oh, that little important detail coming in? Saying. So that's a completely separate website, which I think my computer also got messed up because it both both of the websites have like the ACD thing. And so like, well, like it was it was freaking out when I was trying to log into it because it kept trying to autofill this other password, which they're different for the two different things, right? It's completely separate. So

Collin Funkhouser  27:44

like, it's just hurting my brain in so many ways. So

Brandon  27:48

then because the autofill for my work computer kept trying to do that with something else. Then it was like, I was like, well, I need to change the password. It's like you cannot because there have been too many failed attempts. Please wait for 15 minutes, and I was like burrow

28:02

hole in the air.

28:08

Oh, my goodness.

Brandon  28:09

Because there's no not connected. It was like, oh, that's infuriating. Was very infuriating. Oh,

Collin Funkhouser  28:23

no, that's that's not okay. On so many levels. So did you. So what did I mean? Did clearing the cache work? Did you did you too?

Brandon  28:31

I mean, yeah, so no. Okay. Right. So what I had to do, like, I didn't know what was wrong with it. But like, they kept giving me some sort of like bizarre error code about like the firewall or something. And I was like, oh, oh, gosh, what's, what is this? And so I called the lady and she was like,

28:50

okay. You could tell she was just like,

Brandon  28:56

I have no idea.

Collin Funkhouser  28:58

What happened was that she would

28:59

call back.

Brandon  29:02

I didn't call it back. I just like, I was like, Huh, I wonder

29:05

if this is like, I was like, I want to know. Will

Brandon  29:10

it work if I do this on a different device?

29:14

Yes. Yes.

29:18

Hey,

Brandon  29:18

I've added it was like, hello. Like, what? If, man,

29:25

if that's what's going on? Weird. It was like, terrible.

Brandon  29:31

Like, I don't know what sort of weird thing they have. But they were like, I was like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna relate. It was like, she sent me a thing. She was like, I'll use this link to go to the thing. And I opened clicked on it, and it was like, No, I was like, that should work. And she was like, Okay, try this one. And I got on there. And I opened it. And I did a thing and I hit a button and then it was like, well, so no one I was like a different No, than the first No. Oh, okay, which was real confusing, right? My computer slash internet connection was telling me no in two different and exciting ways. And so I was like, Whoa, what is going on?

30:20

What's happening? Why is this doing this? I don't understand.

Collin Funkhouser  30:27

That's crazy. So you had to finish it on your on your iPad.

Brandon  30:30

Yeah, just like what if I come here and it was just like a ha interview information now I was like, apply paint you This is that it makes no sense that it would work on not not work on my desktop, but work on my iPad, which uses the same internet connection.

30:47

Yeah.

Collin Funkhouser  30:49

Unless it's doing something weird to block something there. I

Brandon  30:54

don't know. That's I don't know. It was really strange. I was just like, why in the heck? Yeah. Doesn't make sense. Ah. Okay, so you got

Collin Funkhouser  31:05

got that take care of and you didn't throw your iPad out the window or your computer almost.

31:10

But no, I

Brandon  31:12

got it. I was just like, what? Heck, man? What is wrong with this thing? I don't understand. No,

31:20

that doesn't make any sense. Why

Brandon  31:22

is so weird? And all right. So yes, yes. Yes. Other than that, that was my big excitement for today. Just being like

31:33

what is going on? With this bizarro world thing?

Brandon  31:40

Versus week it's been it's very exercise in patience, because my children are absolutely insane currently. Oh, no. I don't know if eclipses make middle schoolers nuts. Perhaps? Sure.

Collin Funkhouser  31:57

How Klesko what's happening you guys, did you?

Brandon  32:01

It was actually pretty cool. Like it was really close to almost gone. Right. And it was bizarro? Like it was neat. So we did get to go out and see it. We did. The school did buy us glasses. Right. Oh, they got us a bunch of glasses, which is cool. I thought about you because they read prominently right on the front of the glasses. It says Texas Tech is right. Blam. I don't know where they got these. But they were brought to you in part by the Red Raiders. Nice. Okay, well. So that was cool. We have a spot we went outside. We did this safety briefing, you know, a buck. Don't look at the sign, you know, empties. Right? Like,

32:52

you know, that's,

32:53

I was thinking about that because the kids, the kids got our kids got to go out and see them as well. And I the whole time I was like, Oh my gosh, how terrifying like, you have all these kids out there. They're like, okay, stare at the sun. But only in this way. And like, yeah, how like that would just that then I was like, oh my god, I'm really

Brandon  33:13

concerned. Yeah, I don't know. So it was fine. Everything was fine. We did it good. But it's really good. It was actually really close. It was a lot closer than I thought it was gonna be in our area.

33:23

I guess we're like, closer to the

Brandon  33:27

phrase, the, the path of totality. Then like normal, right? So it was really good. It was like a just a little sliver crescent. Right. And the kids were kind of like, well, there's so little left and it's so bright outside. Yeah, you know, sun sign. It's kind of bright, right? And who knew? Surprise, but it did get dark get pretty dark. Your guy was sitting there eating lunch, which was a little bit forward going outside. And you know, it started kind of early. So I was like looking at it. I could kind of watch it start with the glasses, like out my window when the kids are gone. And all of a sudden I'm eating my lunch and I just want to look translate

34:09

darkened here. They're

34:12

like, wow, like all of a sudden it's like,

Brandon  34:14

Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, yeah. Oh, hey, here we go. Yeah, I

Collin Funkhouser  34:19

saw some photos coming out of the cape Gerardo. I know that apparently that was like the hotspot to go to to see this. But it was like they because that was in the, like, the almost 100% Whatever. And it was like, four minutes of like darkness. And I was like, yeah.

34:38

Oh, what's the I also pulled up the NASA livestream. Oh, cool. Right.

Brandon  34:45

So like, after our little part was done, we came back inside, right. The rest of the afternoon we sort of talked about eclipses talked about like historical significance is right. Like, you know that one time when the Greeks were like, oh, we can't go anywhere. Now there's an eclipse to bad omen.

34:59

And then The opposing Navy like, sorted

Brandon  35:03

them and defeated

Collin Funkhouser  35:05

the Sicilian army or whatever, like, gotcha. Or when the fire nation attacks during the eclipse?

Brandon  35:12

Oh, yeah. You know, we didn't bring that up. Yeah, probably because there is no war in Bosnia and say, right, obviously. So

35:19

we obviously

35:23

made that reference.

Brandon  35:28

But yeah, so we watched the livestream too. And we saw that Did you see the picture? From this base station? Yeah, that's right. That was cool. That was like a big giant black rock shadow just right. That was pretty sweet. That was

Collin Funkhouser  35:44

that was one of those things where it took my brain like,

35:48

really? Because

Collin Funkhouser  35:50

of going like, Oh, right. That's what it's the shadow like, and, and it reminded me all that time when we were back out, wherever that was. In Arizona, was that in Arizona? Yeah. Shadows out there. What's those dark spots? And

Brandon  36:06

the guy was like a

Collin Funkhouser  36:09

cloud shadows. Anyway,

36:11

moving on. Yeah, that was true. That was hilarious.

Brandon  36:14

But also, it kind of makes sense now, like when you think about it now because like, when you are in Arizona, you can see so stupidly far, because it's empty and full of nothing. If uh, if the clouds cast shadows on the trees and hills and valleys of Missouri, you would never see it. So snow. And to then like to didn't take that on such a scale

Collin Funkhouser  36:41

to

Brandon  36:42

International Space Station. The whole state of Illinois, basically. Exactly

Collin Funkhouser  36:47

like it was because it looks so fake and photoshopped at first.

Brandon  36:52

It was skewed going. Oh, oh, no, that's that's the shadow. That's its aid.

Collin Funkhouser  36:59

It was sad. That was pretty good.

37:01

Yeah, that was wild. Yeah, I thought that was a cool. So yeah, we

Brandon  37:05

watched that. We saw some of the they had some broadcasts of some of the other places. And then that you got to see like, how dark it was outside. Right. Yeah. Had some like other pictures of like, the, like the telescope pictures of the clips. So you can see like, the coronal

37:21

stuff, you know, pretty cool. Oh,

Collin Funkhouser  37:24

and all the it was cool to see the the shadows the crescent shadows of like the leaves. Oh, yeah. You see those coming out and stuff? Like that was pretty cool. Yeah, those

Brandon  37:35

are wild. Like, what? Again, like, is that real? Like, because it's going?

Collin Funkhouser  37:42

I keep saying that phrase. But if I'm having that response in 2024, to imagine what people know, 500 years ago, this was happening, right? Like, this is blowing my mind. And now of course, they would think the world was ending. Are you kidding?

Brandon  38:02

Yeah, we talked about that a little bit. Right. Like, you know, like, we knew there was stuff up there. We didn't know like, how it worked exactly. Right. Like we talked about, I talked about that with the kids. We came back inside, I was like, we knew that there was the moon in the sun. And we weren't sure like how everything related to each other. Right? That was not a thing until like much, much later. So we're talking about like ancient Greece. They're like, yes, there is a moon. How does it move? It moves. Like, you know, so like, there's a lot of like, really bizarre things happening there that you're like, oh, like even that, you know, it how it works, like, comprehending how it works, is a different thing. And it's like, it's like brain melting sometimes most right? It's just like

Collin Funkhouser  38:52

oh, no, absolutely. Like it really is a of i know this, but I can't it's thinking about to the scale that it's happening and the how these things are related. And now it's impacting this and over this and that not this and this I just, the whole thing is it's it's insane. It's it's really neat to see and to think about and to have people from you know, going yeah, let's all take a moment together and let's forget about all the terrible that's going on on the world right now and focus on not burning out my retinas.

39:29

Chair. Important.

Brandon  39:37

I was gonna say, Oh, right. Yeah, that thing really cool is after we, after we were done right after we came back inside, they, they did collect all of the glasses back. Right. So they picked them all back up from all the kids. Okay, you know, yeah, because there is going to be like another big eclipse in the southern hemisphere in like August or something. Oh, and so Our school is sending all of our glasses to some school in South America. So they can use them for the Eclipse. Oh, well, that's cool. I thought that was kind of rad. I was like, that's a smart I don't know how they picked one or how they partnered this or I don't know the logistics behind this at all. But I thought that was a pretty sweet idea. Right? And it's like, hey, looky there. Yeah.

40:23

I think that's, that's, that's, that's really the idea because they are the kids classes. We we just have one pair, and they just they were sharing it between the classrooms. Like it was it was really like, Oh,

Collin Funkhouser  40:39

right. These go bad after three years. Yeah, what am I what am I couldn't use these next. Like, I'm not just gonna go out and ya

Brandon  40:45

know, just randomly.

40:47

like, Ah, yes. Got it. I got it.

40:54

Yeah, that's Oh, yeah. That's cool. That's, that was very cool thing to do. Yeah. To not let those go to waste or get thrown away. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I've

Brandon  41:04

turned away so too cool for that. So

41:07

what? I thought that was a neat thing to do. pass them on to somewhere new, somewhere. Interesting. Yeah. You know,

Brandon  41:19

that's pretty much a big segment of my week. My kids are slightly insane. Eclipse related.

41:24

Maybe, maybe just interview related? Probably, but

41:36

you know, what? Oh,

Brandon  41:40

yeah. And then apparently, I'm reporting to you how the AC T goes. But that's, uh, this Saturday. I'm gonna go stand in a room

41:51

and stare at people. Yeah, that's gonna be

42:03

Well, that'll be fine. I mean, it'll be something. But, you know. Whatever. Yeah, it's fine.

42:14

I mean, what's gonna what's gonna be that? Yeah. The worst? If it happens.

Brandon  42:19

Yeah, that's pretty much all I got going on. Okay. Oh, wait. Oh, I do have another I forgot. Till just right now. There is an important upcoming event apparently, in the town. Right. There is going to be the opening of a Salvadorian. Bakery. Yes, yes. Yes.

42:49

I'm not entirely sure what that means. But I asked my children, and they were like, You need to go right

Brandon  42:56

now. And I was like, okay. All right. Okay, what's I've been talking to so my kids because some of them have like, relatives or a parent that is from El Salvador. So like, there's some sort of family. They're opening up a bakery in a couple of weeks. So putting this on the schedule, there will be a review coming. That's miscellaneous. That's amazing. I'm incredibly excited. Oh,

Collin Funkhouser  43:23

great. If you weren't, I'd be worried about you. That sounds

43:27

so cool.

Brandon  43:30

Yes, so that's the other exciting upcoming news have. So I've been looking at some stuff. I targeted a couple of my kids. And they're like, oh, no, you need to make sure that you need to find this.

43:42

You seem to have this. K? Go ahead.

43:45

Yes, I need

Collin Funkhouser  43:50

you. I mean, do you need to do your pre pre opening order wish list and just Yes, sliding that underneath the door? For them? Yeah, it's like, okay,

Brandon  44:01

why do I want this? Yeah. So they have like, according to their Facebook page, there's like, there's some like very traditional Salvadorian things. And then there's also just some like, like, Cookie things they're making and this is just like a big heart. Yes. Like some of them look like insane. me brush my teeth will extra there's gonna be a course you got to. Yeah, yeah. So that is that's the other upcoming news. Up coming excitement, potentially. So look forward to that review in a couple of weeks. It's not okay next week, but it's gonna be a few weeks. There'll be an opening of some sort of bake. And some sort of I think I know where it is the size on out yet, but I'm pretty

44:55

sure I know what route it's on. So

Brandon  44:58

I've lived here for like ever Still, like when someone tells me a street name, I'm like, Ah, I wonder where that there's a few. There's a few that I know, like for sure. But like, and this is one of those but like, there's a lot of other streets. I'm like, I have no idea where that I don't see any cool, man.

45:19

It's it's really

Brandon  45:22

I mean, I don't play a drive I like the major roads like I only drive on like, the main roads or like the highway. So like, whenever someone just throws off some other random street name. I'm like, even even like places where I kind of know where they are, like downtown, right, like, remembering what's on Fourth Street and what's on Sixth Street? I'm like, I

45:45

don't know. Like, I,

Brandon  45:48

it's a little, little fuzzy, like, I know kind of where it's at. But which Street? Is that? Exactly? I don't know.

45:59

Is it Yeah, it is sad, because I get so lost and confused. But I'm thinking about stuff of at that level of just going oh, yeah. What is that on fourth? Or fifth? Or is that on? Easter somewhere? If I look at a map, I can immediately tell you but me just trying to spit ball things. I'm like, I have no idea. That's whenever

Brandon  46:25

there is a part of my brain like, defaults to like, me, me. And I'm like, Yeah, you know, it's by the one place where that one thing used to be. Oh, no. Oh, no, not helpful relative directions. I,

46:40

I understand now.

Brandon  46:44

I mean, at least I don't give excuses. Mom gives direction like, Look at me. dead in the eye. And she'll be like, you know, it's by so and so's house. And I'm like, I have no idea.

46:57

who that is. Right? That was a person that lived there 50 years ago

Brandon  47:06

in a place that I've never seen it a buyer person I've never heard of by hide. Why? I don't remember, I'm not from here, right? Like, she's assumes that I have also lived here like my entire life. No. False. Like memes used to, but like, at least I recognize those people's names. Right? Like Susan's mom does the same thing. And I'm like, I have absolutely zero idea about who you're speaking of.

Collin Funkhouser  47:45

Next, it makes it hard to find places when you're like somebody she

Brandon  47:48

went to high school with like no, I don't know I some conversations really awkward. I'm just like, staring at her like, what? Yeah, what about this?

Collin Funkhouser  48:26

I look very much look forward to

48:28

a report on that. Yeah.

Brandon  48:33

So I'm excited about that. That's really good. Oh, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I did more things, man. Look at this. I keep forgetting all the things I did this week. Oh, I also did I told you, I'll just briefly and we went to a baby shower. Right? Last weekend. Right. And this is of course, the first time I've ever been to a baby shower. Before,

48:51

like, some of our like Hispanic friends. Right? Okay, so

Brandon  48:56

Susan has just she left. And she goes, Man, Mexican baby showers are way cooler. It's just like, they rented out this big room. I said it was just full tables. And like, everybody just like, sits down. And there's just like, a ton of food and then you just like, leave later.

49:21

That's it? Nothing. There's no like.

Brandon  49:28

That's amazing. It was great. It was great, though. Like, it was really funny. And that's my favorite part about events like this, right? There's this really important, like, cross cultural thing that happens, right? This is like a universal dad thing. Right? Where you'll watch people like it happens all the time at these parties. But it's like a thing that other like white dads do this too, right? You just like see somebody across the room. And you walk over there and they walk up behind him in the seat and they just like, smack him on the shoulder and do that thing, and then they stop We're talking really loud out of this is a universal Okay, and let's just start talking. That's good to know that at least, right? Yeah, cross crossing the cultural barrier. But yeah, yeah, the person was like they were a student at school, right. And then a few years ago, they

50:28

worked there for a little bit. And then, like, I've had a bunch of his

Brandon  50:33

siblings in class and stuff. So like, we know them pretty well. And so they invited us to dameisha, which is pretty cool. So Oh, and go hang out for a little bit. So I

50:42

watch people talk too much people. You know, it's good that we were sitting at a

Brandon  50:48

table, these things are also like, they just like, sit somewhere. And they're just like these huge tables, and you just sit with like, random people who you have no idea, right? So we're sitting by this other family. And they're getting ready to leave. We're talking, you know, we're talking to the lady. And it actually turns out that the lady that we were sitting by was one of the people that was one of the dancers at the cultural festival thing that we had at school. Oh, cool. She was like, oh, did you go to the thing? And I was like, Yeah, we were there. She pointed. Susan was like she helped put it on. She's like, Oh, yeah, I was in the dancing thing. We're like, oh, brah. That's why we talked to her about the dancing thing. But she were sitting there. And like, she goes, my husband wants to know if you guys your teachers were like, yes. She was like, yeah, he wondered because like 7000 people came up to say hi to you. I'd like most of the kids was like, yeah, yeah. Found out. He's very wise. You

Collin Funkhouser  51:46

can't hide it. You can

51:49

call out on that. Very funny.

Collin Funkhouser  51:56

There's no other reason all these people should be saying hi to you. I'm a bit

Brandon  52:03

like what you also know everyone hear what's

Collin Funkhouser  52:05

going on? Yeah. You're not related. Yeah.

Brandon  52:09

Because they were like, these people were like cousins, right? Yeah. It was really funny. Things Your teachers? Yes. Yes. Actually. Very, very good. Very. Nice. Wise. Oh, now? Oh, yeah. But then that's that. That's a picture I sent you. She was just like, oh, let me send you home with a little food. Oh, right. The heaviest to go. Ever. is great. You're absolutely right. Yeah,

Collin Funkhouser  52:52

I was surprised that they managed to fit that much food in there. That thing that was insane.

Brandon  52:57

It's important to know that that is not one of those boxes. It has dividers in it. Okay, so that's even more

53:10

it's just one that's just the box. Gotcha.

Brandon  53:19

It's easy to do, because she was like, asking me all night like, are you okay? Are you feeling okay? Because I ate a whole bunch of food while I was there. Right? No, but I told I was fine. Right. It was okay. But I told her I was like, look,

53:31

there are certain rules in life. And if Hispanic lady asks you, if you need more food?

Brandon  53:41

The answer is yes. But you have to say yes. Like it's just it's very, right. They say, they say, Oh, you need more to eat. You don't disagree with them. You say? Oh, yeah, sure. Thank you. Thank you. Right. It's rude. I told her she was like, you don't have to say yes. Like I think you do. I think it's in that it's rained out. I think it's written down somewhere. I think that's what you're right. It's important. Okay. Yeah. And you say no, to

54:08

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I

54:10

mean, I mean, it makes sense. But also Yeah, yeah, I

54:14

think I think it's a law. Right Thing. I'm pretty sure. So yeah, so that was

Brandon  54:19

it. We did this week went to HR, which is weird. And it's weird too, because she said like, again, I don't go to any other baby showers. Right. And she was like, there's more. Because this is like whole families just come right and everyone just hangs out. Talk for a while. F K. Pay a bunch of food apparently. She's like, really nice that like it's not just women in a room like It's like everybody's here. Kids are here. Families here. Dads are here. Yeah, like the whole community is shows up. Here's things happy baby or whatever.

Collin Funkhouser  54:57

Well, that's nice. Thank you. We're a lot busier than you were Originally let on I did more things than I thought I

Brandon  55:02

did right look at there I forgot about that

55:05

I forgot I forgot about preparing for bakeries right that's important so yes I

Brandon  55:16

think now I think now I think I'm done I think I think that's all oh well yeah there you go. Okay. Yeah nice All right. Yeah, well I mean I am I just had I was going to share I don't know how much time we have going

Collin Funkhouser  55:49

on I'll do this quick. I think I want to share about the thing coming up into in our town that is getting people rather hot by bothered.

Brandon  56:01

Oh, no, not by hot and bothered. Oh, no, I

Collin Funkhouser  56:03

was not expecting this class and bothered by Oh, my. Yeah, no, it's it's fun. I everyone is aware of Woodstock. That happened in when that happened? My team?

Brandon  56:20

And I Okay, yeah. 6090 I've, and then I need nine as well. They they're like this is a terrible idea. We should stop? Yeah, no. Um, this is

56:39

in largely considered the

56:43

height of the Summer of Love. What very few people know about is that in 1974, a music festival was held in my town, called I know this called the Ozark music festival.

Brandon  57:00

I was unaware, if you say this phrase. Locals, eyes

Collin Funkhouser  57:06

will twitch. And they will begin cavorting in a room having this like, like, this visceral, visceral response to this,

Brandon  57:16

like grip their overalls and adjust them for Valley like, because

57:19

this is because

57:21

originally pitched they assured the State Fairgrounds that only Yeah, only 50,000 tickets would would would be sold. Only 50 says, Oh, it's just gonna be a three days festival music

Brandon  57:36

money that was gonna make them you're like, No, it was more though. Well,

57:42

so. They

Collin Funkhouser  57:45

was supposed to be a Friday, Saturday and Sunday 3d Music Festival. Well, no, the Monday of that week, people started

57:53

to arrive in town. Wow.

Collin Funkhouser  57:57

Just to put this in perspective, currently, this town has 21,000 people in it. And we're back in the 1970s. In very small town, people start to arrive

58:07

and they start to arrive all week long. Many of them hitchhiked on their way in or took a bus thinking that there was campgrounds around that they could just go in camp app. No such thing.

Collin Funkhouser  58:23

They begin living in on the streets, breaking into people's sheds, living in fields for the farmers nearby. And this whole crowd swelled over the course of three days to some people are estimating over 350,000 people

Brandon  58:43

over the course of three days the Yeah, was that five times the average? Yes. Yes. And and you may be thinking like who came and played? I'm gonna give you a few of these people.

Collin Funkhouser  59:02

Aerosmith. Blue Oyster call Eagles America. Ted Nugent,

Brandon  59:08

right at the height of America was littered skittered,

Collin Funkhouser  59:11

Charles Daniels bands Joe Bosch, Bill Quartermaine baby band and Babe Ruth. These weird people named REO Speedwagon. Yes. Uh huh. Which is why which is why

59:29

this year is the 50th anniversary of ah,

Collin Funkhouser  59:35

they need to be back all REO Speedwagon, all right, why

Brandon  59:38

message them? Listen, homeowners 50 years, Bob Seger was

Collin Funkhouser  59:43

there. This God Silver Bullet band, silver bullet, bam, this it got so out of hand that because then this swelled, there was no support. There's no infrastructure for this. People will talk about how They found drugs was terrible a 70s It was terrible. Oh, by the way, it was also it was also well over 100 degrees at this time.

Brandon  1:00:15

Uh huh. Uh huh. It smelled lovely. It smelled

Collin Funkhouser  1:00:19

lovely. Yeah, with over well over 100,000 people cramming just in the stadium to see bands play at times. It was so bad, that and so. So wretched. I mean, the number of things going on in the town like it was it was really bad for the town. It was so bad that before they could come in and start cleaning up, rounds, crews drove with bulldozers to scrape off the top layer of dirt to just throw away for the drug paraphernalia, stuff. Then they drove back through and sprayed everything with lime to disinfect everything, because it was absolutely atrocious. It was also so bad as it was also so bad that as people left interstate 70 was clogged with people trying to escape and evacuate basically. And they were like sleeping at rest stops and taking over like as they dispersed to go other places. The sixth day after it was okay, this, people just show up. They just want a Summer of Love man. And then this thing happened and it was a bomb that went off in town. The Missouri Senate came in and did an on the ground subcommittee investigation to figure out what went wrong at this festival. Their exact quote was the scene on the grounds at Sedalia made the degradation of Sodom and Gomorrah appear to be rather mild back. It was also where there's also where the Division of Drug and crime control was established. For the state and, and the city outlawed rock concerts.

Period. Point blank, wow. Very go. visceral response to your problems earlier the age.

1:02:27

And so as we approach the 50th anniversary, what better way to relive this, then by having another festival here in town? Obviously, obviously, obviously,

Collin Funkhouser  1:02:41

you're here we get to a rub. Fantastic. This is where this is where the juice kits go in? Because because there are locals who want this to have take place. And then there are some people who aren't from hear that also want this take this because we're a small town. So we have ours, ourselves and others, right? This is how we optimize. That

Brandon  1:03:07

is how one must use ladies and gentlemen. Right? That's That's definitely how it works. So

Collin Funkhouser  1:03:11

the people who are not born and raised here decided they want to do this festival. They called it the Ozark Music Festival. They started going down. Well, it turns out a local person as all of the copyrights to the name, Ozark music festival. And when he found out about this, became enraged, slap them with lawsuits took this all down, cease and desist. You may not move forward with this. I'm going to do my own music festival. You're not allowed to do this. I won't tolerate that. So I figured he

Brandon  1:03:47

had the copyright so that he could nobody could do it. There was no no I'm gonna sit on this like kind of Dragon. And

Collin Funkhouser  1:03:55

so he decided he was going to act and put together his own music festival. So the the other place the original, the dueling and music festival. I'm not gonna say the original one. But the people who had the idea were trying to push this and bring it to light. They had to change their name to the Mozart best, right? Because Mozart kite is

1:04:15

you know, whatever. It's rock here into India. So yeah, they had to call there's the Mozart best and are pushing it and promoting it. And this other guy has the Ozark Music

Brandon  1:04:26

Festival. Totally not confusing at all. Totally

Collin Funkhouser  1:04:29

not totally both have the exact same purpose of bringing music back. But there's no overlap. And there's so much animosity between these people. They're like, they're also both kind of like kind of around the same time also, you know, and

1:04:49

I'm just like, oh, this

Collin Funkhouser  1:04:50

is so funny to watch, like both people try to do this thing and like, but both people also being unwilling to be be helpful to one another and all this stuff. And one definitely has a like, let's have a let's have a concert. And the other ones are like, let's relive the 70s kind of that that one but it's, uh oh, the other one I failed to mention is this cleanup. Sorry, I'm just the amount of destruction on this construction. I then went on to this. Just it's hard to fathom because in 1974 they spent like $35,000 cleaning up

Brandon  1:05:38

this concert. Okay, in monitoring holy cow, that's a lot of 19 $74 That's two

Collin Funkhouser  1:05:46

that's like $240,000 today of like, cleaning up the disinfectant the just pitching of stuff right to get rid of it and replacing and repairing and it really like deeply scarred the community. And so for me, it's hilarious, but now people are trying to bring not just one back but to immunity that is still 50 years later.

1:06:17

Not okay. Nine serious Oh, it myth.

Brandon  1:06:29

real question is which one of them will get REO Speedwagon? That's the real

Collin Funkhouser  1:06:34

we'll see as the real important thing here. If they're coming back if if as we project they are they are coming back to do the fair, are they going to come back around to do a concert like that? Like, I don't know, if you could get them to come back to the same little town twice in the heat.

Brandon  1:06:52

That's true. That is true. So it's, um, it's

Collin Funkhouser  1:06:59

very, very funny. And I just I love watching this and reading the history of all these things, and it just makes me Ah, just makes me giggle.

Brandon  1:07:12

That yeah, look, look at the holy cow. That's a go

Collin Funkhouser  1:07:16

look up the Ozark music

1:07:18

festival. And be prepared.

Collin Funkhouser  1:07:23

Don't do that. I will say don't do that on a school computer. Just do that. Oh,

Brandon  1:07:26

no, no, I don't. Yeah, I did. It. pulls it up. 2024 you go. Oh, my gosh. Wikipedia article. Here

1:07:38

Brandon  1:07:41

Collin Funkhouser  1:07:47

1:07:52

People.

Brandon  1:07:54

Yeah. Upcoming development. Why is on the 2024 lineup? Who is it going to be? Do have anybody booked for the 20? way forward? Or is it just like an idea

Collin Funkhouser  1:08:05

on the at this? One of them? Has people have bands booked? One of them is not. It's hard to get that information? I'll say so. Unknown,

Brandon  1:08:18

and known. Indeed, well, all right. Keep an eye on that one. That's what we

Collin Funkhouser  1:08:31

are looking for. The Missouri State Fairgrounds August 17th, which we all know is REO Speedwagon. So it's really not even that much more of a true I mean, I got this. And also, what's gonna happen with these two? Because I don't know. It's gonna be great. That's,

Brandon  1:08:47

that's definitely interesting. Like, bad either

1:09:01

That's hilarious. So

Collin Funkhouser  1:09:04

with that, I think I can leave you with a haiku from last year.

1:09:07

Beautiful.

Collin Funkhouser  1:09:10

Here I have under starry skies, luxury meets wild embrace. Nature tained still thrives? glamping it's good.
