00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:26,430
Kevin Bae: Kevin Bae, this is
the podcast idiot podcast where

2
00:00:26,430 --> 00:00:36,240
I talk about the crappy podcasts
I'm making. This is episode

3
00:00:36,270 --> 00:00:46,230
eight. Today is may 4 2021. S
 I've been kind of, on and of

4
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:51,390
 with this. In the meantime, I'v
 been working on some othe

5
00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:56,130
 podcasts, I actually actuall
 started to just a couple o

6
00:00:56,130 --> 00:01:04,140
 episodes in, I started chasin
 the yield podcast, which cover

7
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:09,330
 it's an amateur investin
 podcast, covers my own persona

8
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,890
 investments, and what I've bee
 doing with that since I stoppe

9
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:18,480
 working a regular job two year
 ago. And then I have the othe

10
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,130
 one, which is called. That's al
 I got. That's all I got podcast

11
00:01:23,130 --> 00:01:27,150
 It's from my personal blog
 Kevin Bay calm. And that one i

12
00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:34,530
 just random news of the day. M
 ranting about stuff. Lately

13
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:38,100
 it's been a lot of COVI
 baloney. But it's just, yo

14
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:43,710
 know, I've been blogging for 
 while. And I just wanted to pu

15
00:01:43,710 --> 00:01:48,150
 some audio to it. So just t
 have have a little fun sip o

16
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:53,940
 coffee. But this one, I starte
 this one, this podcast in orde

17
00:01:53,940 --> 00:02:00,570
 to learn how to podcast. And I'
 what I'm doing is I'm sel

18
00:02:00,570 --> 00:02:04,080
 hosting all these files, all th
 podcast files, the mp3 i

19
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,150
 bhujia, that lightning, mayb
 it's raining cats and dogs here

20
00:02:09,150 --> 00:02:14,910
 I'm in Georgia, north east o
 Atlanta, and there's a stor

21
00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:19,290
 raging right now and it'
 pouring outside anyway. I a

22
00:02:19,470 --> 00:02:24,810
 self hosting. I have account
 with dreamhost. And right now 

23
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:28,080
 am putting the mp3 files there
 And the reason I'm doing it i

24
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,180
 because it's free. I'm alread
 paying for it. And, you know, 

25
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:37,350
 have no idea if anybody's eve
 listening fees. So yeah, I kno

26
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:41,670
 the bandwidth right now is no
 an issue. You know, if, if an

27
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:45,030
 of these start to get listene
 to, you know, I'll probabl

28
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:48,180
 transition over to a traditiona
 hosting company where I don'

29
00:02:48,180 --> 00:02:51,780
 have to worry about craz
 bandwidth issues. But right now

30
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,170
 you know, I got 10 people
 probably even if I got 10

31
00:02:55,170 --> 00:03:01,560
 people listening, which is lik
 a fantasy won't present an

32
00:03:01,590 --> 00:03:07,920
 bandwidth issues from me pushin
 audio files. So that that's ho

33
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:12,540
 I'm hosting self hosting. An
 all my blogs are WordPress

34
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:20,970
 WordPress blogs, I try to spi
 that out. And I use blueberrie

35
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,770
 powerpress plugin and it's it'
 really a really nice plugin. I

36
00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:34,920
 makes it very simple to t
 create a blog post, insert a

37
00:03:34,950 --> 00:03:41,460
 audio file in there. And i
 publish, you just tell it yo

38
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:46,680
 tell it where are your mp3 file
 located and they they they hav

39
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,390
 implemented the chapters tag an
 the transcript tag fro

40
00:03:51,390 --> 00:03:56,190
 podcasting 2.0 from the ne
 podcast namespace and so I ca

41
00:03:56,190 --> 00:04:00,930
 put in chapters and chapte
 images. I can also easily d

42
00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:08,790
 transcripts it's so super simpl
 to produce a transcript and an

43
00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:12,450
 host that file all those file
 to are hosted on my dream pres

44
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:17,700
 virtual server that I that 
 lease that I rent from the

45
00:04:20,070 --> 00:04:25,500
 equipment wise I know I ramble
 on about it before and I'm goin

46
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:34,740
 to try it again. Equipment wis
 I record use using a device fro

47
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:41,070
 zoom called a pod track p fou
 and I chose it. I chose thi

48
00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:48,330
 device first because it's small
 It fits on my desk, I can plu

49
00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:56,550
 it in to I can power it via US
 C it also takes batteries and 

50
00:04:56,550 --> 00:05:01,470
 can plug it via USB into m
 computer And that's how I ca

51
00:05:01,470 --> 00:05:09,090
 get audio in and out of of m
 PC. It's also you know, I wante

52
00:05:09,090 --> 00:05:14,340
 something that would work sor
 of like a road a road What d

53
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:18,570
 they call is called a roa
 podcast. What's it called

54
00:05:23,190 --> 00:05:31,770
What is that road thing called
road.com is called set stupid

55
00:05:33,030 --> 00:05:37,950
it's a stupid giant thing that I
can't find right now. Where is

56
00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:43,800
it at Road caster road caster
pro that thing that's sort of

57
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,720
like you know for somebody a
little bit more professional and

58
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,800
a little bit more professional,
where you're going to have you

59
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,680
know, multiple audio inputs and
be able to livestream and do all

60
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,210
that stuff that also has sound
pads where you can add sounds

61
00:06:03,210 --> 00:06:06,750
that are easy to get to just by
a touch of a button by the touch

62
00:06:06,750 --> 00:06:10,500
of a button which is what I have
here I've got the theme music

63
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:17,280
for this show. Right there.
Button away so I can hit that I

64
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,070
also have a sound board that I
use but I'll get to that in a

65
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:25,350
moment but the podrick before
also records I can put four XLR

66
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:32,670
microphones into here and each
one will record a separate track

67
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:37,650
inside the device. Which is
really handy now I haven't done

68
00:06:37,650 --> 00:06:42,000
any interviews or had anybody
else on any podcast yet but if I

69
00:06:42,210 --> 00:06:45,510
if I do, I just haven't I just
bring another microphone plug

70
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:49,530
that in and I can have them and
not just put it up put out the

71
00:06:49,530 --> 00:06:53,850
sound and recorded but put them
on separate tracks that way if

72
00:06:53,850 --> 00:06:58,080
for some reason I need to
isolate audio or you know mix it

73
00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:04,860
in some different way. It's very
easy. And another reason that I

74
00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:09,750
have the the Patrick before it's
a cost it's it's a couple $100 I

75
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:13,140
was trying to to put everything
together that I needed for just

76
00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:20,490
a few 100 where the the road
caster Pro is pretty expensive.

77
00:07:20,670 --> 00:07:24,570
How expensive is that thing road
caster pro Let me see. b&h

78
00:07:24,570 --> 00:07:42,030
photo, b h Thunder bH photo.com
Road road caster road caster pro

79
00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:47,250
okay that thing $600 so that
would have blown out my entire

80
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,680
podcast budget plus and that's
not what I wanted. So I wanted

81
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,340
to get to be able to it has a
lot of the functions that the

82
00:07:56,340 --> 00:08:01,200
road caster pro does. And it's
sort of a studio in a pocket.

83
00:08:02,310 --> 00:08:06,540
It's really it's really quite
tiny. Where is my tape measure

84
00:08:08,010 --> 00:08:13,050
just not even back of the
envelope stuff here at See I

85
00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:17,550
just, it's like six and a half
inches long and at its widest

86
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,350
it's like four and a half inches
wide and a stands Oh about an

87
00:08:22,350 --> 00:08:27,030
inch and a half tall up off the
desk. So it's small, you could

88
00:08:27,030 --> 00:08:29,940
shove this in a bag and you can
go anywhere and you can podcast

89
00:08:29,940 --> 00:08:32,460
and I'm not sure what I wanted
to do but I wanted maximum

90
00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:37,170
portability because who knows?
Who knows and it's it's cheap

91
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:44,280
$200 for this thing that I paid
from and I bought it from b&h

92
00:08:44,970 --> 00:08:50,670
and it's just a nifty little
device that does just about

93
00:08:50,670 --> 00:08:54,660
everything you would need it to
do, I can you can even add you

94
00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:57,210
can adjust for all the inputs,
you can adjust the levels

95
00:08:57,210 --> 00:09:02,280
independently. I can adjust the
levels off the sound pad that

96
00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:12,450
contains some of the music
tracks. I can turn it down. I

97
00:09:12,450 --> 00:09:15,450
can also you know you can plug
in a full set of headphones,

98
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:22,050
which is what I have right now
I've got my headphones, you can

99
00:09:22,050 --> 00:09:24,330
plug up to four different
headphones too. So if you have

100
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:26,370
four guests, you can have four
guests, each one of them have

101
00:09:26,370 --> 00:09:31,950
their own headphones, and it's
not a problem. Additionally, I

102
00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:36,630
have this plugged into my
computer so I can play. I can go

103
00:09:36,630 --> 00:09:42,480
to YouTube and I can play any
let's just take a random video.

104
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,380
Let's see the Atlanta area CBS
46 Atlanta bring security

105
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:47,670
employee shot so

106
00:09:48,090 --> 00:09:50,820
Unknown: that's fired outside in
Atlanta deli when thieves try to

107
00:09:50,820 --> 00:09:54,210
steal a security teams armored
truck. One of the security

108
00:09:54,210 --> 00:09:56,640
guards shot in that attempt CBS

109
00:09:56,970 --> 00:09:59,580
Kevin Bae: so I can do that I
can bring in the audio from

110
00:09:59,580 --> 00:10:04,440
there. And there's a separate
volume control for that as well.

111
00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:12,690
So if I'm if I've got different
video clips or different audio

112
00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:15,090
clips or whatever that I want to
include on a podcast, it's not a

113
00:10:15,090 --> 00:10:19,800
problem, it's super simple. And
then the other party has audio

114
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,500
in through just a plain old mini
plug. And I have my surface go,

115
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:30,000
I've got the an app called
Universal soundboard installed

116
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,470
there and I put in some
different audio tracks for the

117
00:10:34,470 --> 00:10:39,360
music cuz I'm thinking I might
have a bunch of different clips

118
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600
they want to go through at some
point. So rather than the

119
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:46,920
Patrick before, while it's, it's
good, it only has four different

120
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:51,750
sound pads. So you can only have
four different things lined up

121
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:56,370
at once, to be able to play at
the touch of a button, which is

122
00:10:56,370 --> 00:11:01,890
fine. If I have you know, if I
have to do that. It's not so

123
00:11:01,890 --> 00:11:06,120
flexible and easy to to map a
sound to those pads, you can do

124
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,060
it and you know, I'll probably
use those sound pads for

125
00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:13,560
something else. But if I need to
have some clips and and have

126
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:18,450
them more at the ready
soundboard on a PCs is so much

127
00:11:18,450 --> 00:11:22,470
more convenient. So I have my
surface go plugged into the pod

128
00:11:22,470 --> 00:11:27,150
track p four via a standard mini
plug cable. And from there, I

129
00:11:27,150 --> 00:11:29,640
can hit the same Intro music and
it does the same thing.

130
00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:41,310
So that's that that covers the
Patrick before and how I

131
00:11:41,310 --> 00:11:45,450
basically have it set up. Now
the microphone I'm using is a

132
00:11:45,450 --> 00:11:51,390
Rode pod mic. Again, the reason
I chose this is a lot of its

133
00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:55,530
cost. The other thing is is it
plugs in very easily to the the

134
00:11:55,530 --> 00:12:00,840
Patrick before and it's a nice
looking microphone, I may want

135
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,890
to do some video at some point.
So I figured if as long as I

136
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:09,060
have, if I'm if I plan on doing
video, having a microphone that

137
00:12:09,270 --> 00:12:12,900
looks nice, looks professional,
even though there's gonna be

138
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,450
nothing professional about what
I do, but it just looks cool.

139
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:21,930
And I wish I could have a boom
microphone stand. But I can't

140
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:27,240
the desk that I operate off of
has tapered edges. So there's no

141
00:12:28,770 --> 00:12:33,540
microphone boom, at least that I
found so far that will fit this

142
00:12:33,540 --> 00:12:39,540
desk. So instead I just have a
plain old desk stand. And what

143
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:42,210
is that I should actually really
should have prepared and pulled

144
00:12:42,210 --> 00:12:50,190
this stuff up. Let me go let me
go into my orders here. Let's

145
00:12:50,190 --> 00:12:56,340
see my orders. Where is my
stuff? My orders? This is all

146
00:12:56,340 --> 00:13:03,390
off of b&h photo. Okay, it's a
it's a road dsx one microphone

147
00:13:03,390 --> 00:13:10,770
desktop stand. And that also was
not not expensive? I can't find

148
00:13:10,770 --> 00:13:15,360
it, of course, no, let's see 30
bucks 30 bucks for the stand.

149
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,690
Now it doesn't have like any
shock mount or anything like

150
00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:21,360
that. So you can hear pretty
much everything when I touch the

151
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:28,350
stand. But the the road pod mic
supposedly has some anti shock.

152
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:33,330
infrastructure, I guess built
into the microphone also has a

153
00:13:33,330 --> 00:13:38,760
pop filter. So if I'm getting
too close, I shouldn't be able

154
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,050
to pop my piece. I don't know.
You could put something in front

155
00:13:43,050 --> 00:13:47,070
of it that will prevent that
from happening as well. But I'm

156
00:13:47,070 --> 00:13:52,830
like, Okay, I've got enough crap
on this desk. So I don't know

157
00:13:52,830 --> 00:13:57,360
how you'd mount a pop filter on
this if you wanted to. But it's

158
00:13:57,870 --> 00:14:00,480
it's pretty nifty little
microphone. It looks nice. It's

159
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,420
only $100. And it sounds pretty
good, at least to me. And what I

160
00:14:06,420 --> 00:14:10,440
really wanted was a hardware
noise gate because I'm doing

161
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,480
this podcast in my office. And
there's nothing soft on the

162
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,360
walls. It's just I can hear the
echo in the headphones I'm

163
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,830
wearing right now. So what I do
is I record into Audacity. And

164
00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:27,990
after I'm done, I use the noise
gates, the software inside to

165
00:14:29,370 --> 00:14:33,540
eliminate all of that, or at
least try to eliminate as much

166
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:37,410
of the echo and background noise
as I can to try to quiet it up.

167
00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:41,520
Ideally, you know, you'd want
something I guess on the walls

168
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,290
or on the floor to limit some of
this echo. But it's the best I

169
00:14:46,290 --> 00:14:51,180
can do. So I've got the the pod
mic pod track. I've got my

170
00:14:51,180 --> 00:14:59,160
microphone stand. And let's see.
What else did I get with this?

171
00:14:59,460 --> 00:15:01,200
Oh, I got the The headphones I'm
wearing right now the

172
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:07,680
headphones, they're Sony MDR
7506 headphones fairly

173
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,930
comfortable, they were at $9. I
don't know if that's expensive

174
00:15:12,930 --> 00:15:16,050
or cheap, they just seem kind of
middle of the road. They do the

175
00:15:16,050 --> 00:15:20,310
job they plug easily, they just
have a mini mini plug cable. It

176
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:25,800
also came with the adapter for
the larger. I don't know what

177
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:31,770
that guy did with the larger
quarter inch headphone jack if

178
00:15:31,770 --> 00:15:39,600
you need that, it comes with it.
Excuse me more coffee. Hopefully

179
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,010
if I drink more coffee, I'll
have to clear my throat so much

180
00:15:44,010 --> 00:15:49,590
I always have a frog in my
throat perpetually. Alright, so

181
00:15:49,590 --> 00:15:52,620
the other thing that I purchased
along with this setup is just an

182
00:15:52,620 --> 00:16:01,560
XLR cable. It's a cheap $20
copel Kapil klp ul studio lead

183
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:06,000
4000 series XLR male to female
microphone cables six feet long.

184
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,490
I don't know if I'll need a six
foot long cable, but that's what

185
00:16:08,490 --> 00:16:19,830
I have. So that entire deal,
that's 200 300-334-2440 less

186
00:16:19,830 --> 00:16:26,070
than $500 is the entire podcast
rig from headphones to

187
00:16:26,070 --> 00:16:32,130
microphone records. I do also
record into Audacity. I don't

188
00:16:32,130 --> 00:16:33,870
know if I already mentioned it
this time around.

189
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,470
But the pod track goes into my
computer and the audacity which

190
00:16:40,470 --> 00:16:44,880
is a free piece of software that
probably everybody knows about.

191
00:16:46,590 --> 00:16:52,650
records that so this way, if
something goofy happens on one

192
00:16:52,650 --> 00:16:57,300
end of the other, it's recording
it as as it's being put out of

193
00:16:57,300 --> 00:17:00,540
the pod rack. So is that
recording separate tracks right

194
00:17:00,540 --> 00:17:02,460
now, but because I have the
separate tracks already in the

195
00:17:02,460 --> 00:17:05,820
device, so that's not really
necessary. Most of the time that

196
00:17:05,820 --> 00:17:09,750
I've been practicing this, I
just record into Audacity. And

197
00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:14,490
when I'm done, I do some minor
editing for the noise gate stuff

198
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,230
and clipping off the ends. So
I'm just with the intro and

199
00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:23,550
outro music at the end. And
that's it, I'm done. I processed

200
00:17:23,550 --> 00:17:26,820
it into an mp3 and I put it up.
I'm not trying to take out any

201
00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:32,400
of my coughing or hacking or any
of the the arms or the ads that

202
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,380
I keep saying that bother me but
they're there. Or so I say so a

203
00:17:37,380 --> 00:17:40,680
million times. I'm just getting
I'm getting used to talking on

204
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,270
the microphone. And here's
there's the word and I do it.

205
00:17:45,450 --> 00:17:53,580
It's like some kind of a verbal
crutch, whatever. It's it's kind

206
00:17:53,580 --> 00:17:56,160
of funny to say verbal crutch.
And then you follow that up with

207
00:17:58,290 --> 00:18:05,880
and throw clear. So the, let's
see, what else did I want to

208
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:12,150
cover? at all that equipment. I
guess I could talk about the

209
00:18:12,150 --> 00:18:18,360
other podcast that I have
launched. Right now I've got

210
00:18:18,420 --> 00:18:22,380
I've got three I've got this
one, which this is the ninth

211
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:29,310
episode. And hopefully as I
improve it, I'll continue. The

212
00:18:29,310 --> 00:18:32,940
other one is chasing the yield.
And that's at chasing the yield

213
00:18:32,970 --> 00:18:40,440
calm. And in that podcast and
blog, I will cover my entire

214
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:45,330
portfolio. Not in dollars, but
in percentages. I'm not really

215
00:18:45,330 --> 00:18:48,960
comfortable putting dollars to
it right now. And the goal of

216
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,700
that podcast is to just talk
about what my what my investing

217
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:59,460
goals are and how I'm going
about doing that. I'm an

218
00:18:59,460 --> 00:19:07,800
absolute amateur investor trying
to invest for income and it's a

219
00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:11,280
little dangerous right now in
this in this current stock

220
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,400
market climate because the stock
market just continues to go up

221
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:19,530
which makes me nervous because
that that means that at some

222
00:19:19,530 --> 00:19:21,900
point the bubbles gonna pop and
it's gonna it's gonna fall down

223
00:19:21,930 --> 00:19:29,400
I just hope it's not that hard.
Excuse me. I can hear every

224
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,130
swallow this is too sensitive.
Maybe I should hit the button

225
00:19:32,460 --> 00:19:36,360
and silence that but too bad.
I'll try to get more

226
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,360
professional on the actual
podcast that cover content other

227
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:47,910
than podcasting and the other
one is that's all I got. And I

228
00:19:47,910 --> 00:19:50,520
don't even though why I came up
with that name but you can go to

229
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,640
that's all I got calm or Kevin
Bae calm it takes you to the

230
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,570
same place. Kevin Bae calm is
where a blog about just news of

231
00:19:57,570 --> 00:20:02,700
the day things that kind of
pissed me off just random rants

232
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:07,050
that, you know, normally I
would, I would say to people

233
00:20:07,050 --> 00:20:11,580
here in the house or to family
or whatever, but right now it's

234
00:20:11,580 --> 00:20:14,250
just me and my wife. We've been
empty nesters for quite some

235
00:20:14,250 --> 00:20:16,830
time my kids are adults in their
guns, there's nobody to Yammer

236
00:20:16,830 --> 00:20:20,340
on to complain to except for my
wife. And she doesn't really

237
00:20:20,340 --> 00:20:23,640
care about that stuff anyway,
even though we do talk about

238
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,880
that stuff from time to time,
but ultimately, she doesn't

239
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,540
really care. So I I posted up
there. I've got a small

240
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:35,700
readership for that blog.
Hopefully, I can, you know, put

241
00:20:35,700 --> 00:20:39,870
together a podcast based on that
blog that maybe is more

242
00:20:39,870 --> 00:20:44,010
entertaining than what I write.
You know, it's just, it's just

243
00:20:44,010 --> 00:20:47,130
kind of clipping news of the day
and putting in a sarcastic

244
00:20:47,130 --> 00:20:50,010
comment or something like that.
Just baloney blogs that

245
00:20:50,010 --> 00:20:57,180
everybody's used to saying. The
last one that I are, the next

246
00:20:57,180 --> 00:21:01,770
one that I plan on putting
together is, I've been running a

247
00:21:01,770 --> 00:21:05,970
food blog for a couple of years
now. It's called keto cooking,

248
00:21:06,420 --> 00:21:11,040
keto and cooking spelled with a
K. So it's keto cooking calm. I

249
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,180
have an Instagram account there,
that's that handle is at Quito

250
00:21:15,180 --> 00:21:18,150
cooking, underscore calm,
because somebody else had keto

251
00:21:18,150 --> 00:21:27,450
cooking, and I couldn't get it.
And I just, I cover their food

252
00:21:27,450 --> 00:21:30,990
that I eat basically, it's
nothing special other than the

253
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:33,240
actual food that I eat.

254
00:21:34,020 --> 00:21:38,250
Because over the last few
decades, actually, I, I haven't

255
00:21:38,250 --> 00:21:44,010
been low carb for several
decades, but I have been eating

256
00:21:44,010 --> 00:21:49,260
basically one meal a day for
that long. And you may call the

257
00:21:49,260 --> 00:21:53,430
date that I've been eating low
carb. Anyway, it wasn't it

258
00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:56,220
definitely wasn't high in carbs,
it didn't concentrate on it, it

259
00:21:56,220 --> 00:22:02,100
mostly concentrated on meat. But
I'm half Korean. So I rice are

260
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:05,400
used to, I used to eat a lot of
rice. And it was basically with

261
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:13,680
every meal. And then I ran into
the term intermittent fasting,

262
00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:16,590
and just was reading about it.
It's like, Hey, this is the way

263
00:22:16,590 --> 00:22:20,580
I've been living for decades.
And I just kind of fell into

264
00:22:20,580 --> 00:22:23,730
that and researching it and
found out there's all these

265
00:22:23,730 --> 00:22:27,270
people that are living the way
I've been living. And all I

266
00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:32,850
tried to do after that is that
that's how I got into the keto

267
00:22:32,850 --> 00:22:37,860
diet, or at least a keto
friendly diet. The doctors that

268
00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:42,270
I follow intermittent fasting
quite often also doubles up with

269
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,830
keto friendly food keto friendly
diet, for people to maintain

270
00:22:46,830 --> 00:22:50,130
weight or lose weight, whatever
it is that like, I'm, I've never

271
00:22:50,130 --> 00:22:55,350
been morbidly obese or anything
like that. But I figured that

272
00:22:56,250 --> 00:22:59,100
the food that I eat on a daily
basis, I don't make anything

273
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:05,010
special. You know, I never
really adhered to a diet, per

274
00:23:05,010 --> 00:23:11,730
se. What I do is, most most
everything is based around

275
00:23:12,060 --> 00:23:14,820
protein and just you know,
whatever meat that I'm eating,

276
00:23:14,820 --> 00:23:17,250
and then you know, you add on
things around the side

277
00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:21,450
vegetables and things like that,
instead of now and just instead

278
00:23:21,450 --> 00:23:26,250
of eating, adding up potatoes or
rice, I just add on other

279
00:23:26,250 --> 00:23:30,990
vegetables that are that are not
high in carbohydrates. But

280
00:23:30,990 --> 00:23:34,140
anyway, I've been running that
for a couple of years. And

281
00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:39,570
again, I get maybe 1500
followers on Instagram. And

282
00:23:39,570 --> 00:23:43,470
maybe I'm going to try to grow
that by producing a podcast,

283
00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:51,300
wherein I can use pictures. It's
gonna be like a podcast slash

284
00:23:52,350 --> 00:23:56,640
YouTube channel. without me
being centered on the YouTube

285
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,550
channel. Instead, I'll be
talking, and then I can include

286
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:02,310
the pictures or maybe even some
videos on YouTube. I include

287
00:24:02,310 --> 00:24:06,900
some video clips, and I hope we
get to do that in podcasting at

288
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:10,920
some point. But in podcasting,
at least I can provide chapters

289
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,220
and chapter images that can go
along with whatever it is that

290
00:24:14,220 --> 00:24:18,840
I'm cooking for the day for that
week. Depending on on what it

291
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,530
is, I'm going to experiment with
that and for that experiment, I

292
00:24:22,530 --> 00:24:29,520
bought a lab recorder it's
called the zoom f two field

293
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,340
recorder. And this is another
tiny advice. Advice. Tiny device

294
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:43,320
by zoom that has a little lav
microphone and it takes an SD

295
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,630
card and it takes a couple of
batteries. I think it's double A

296
00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:52,320
batteries in here. Nope, they're
triple A's, triple A batteries.

297
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,150
And it records you can you can
have a set of headphones if you

298
00:24:57,150 --> 00:24:59,700
want plugged into this. I'm not
gonna use that. I'm just gonna

299
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,210
See how it sounds but you can
that this device is like smaller

300
00:25:06,210 --> 00:25:10,830
than a than a packet and
Chiclets. It's made, let me get

301
00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:20,610
the tape measure. It is about
two and a quarter inches wide

302
00:25:22,350 --> 00:25:35,670
by, oh, an engine, six eighths.
tall, and about a half an inch,

303
00:25:36,540 --> 00:25:40,590
half an inch thick. And this can
clip on your belt fit in your

304
00:25:40,590 --> 00:25:43,950
pocket, whatever and then the
lav mic, you know, screws into

305
00:25:43,950 --> 00:25:46,530
the top, and you can record it
has a little SD card micro SD

306
00:25:46,530 --> 00:25:50,700
card inside, so you can record
on that. And so what I plan on

307
00:25:50,700 --> 00:25:55,500
doing is recording while I'm
cooking using that microphone,

308
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:59,760
and then I'll use my phone to
take a little bit of video and

309
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,300
some pictures of whatever it is
I'm doing. And I can use that on

310
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:09,240
the blog, in photo, like a photo
gallery or just pictures as I

311
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:15,360
go. But on the podcast because
of the new podcast namespace, I

312
00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:18,120
can use chapters and images. So
as I'm talking about what I'm

313
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:21,270
making, I can actually show the
picture of what it is that I'm

314
00:26:21,270 --> 00:26:25,890
doing at the time that I'm doing
it. That'd be great if video can

315
00:26:25,890 --> 00:26:29,250
be added to that at some point.
So the video would actually play

316
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,650
as I'm, as I'm doing it.

317
00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:37,620
I'm not sure how far they are
out on something like that. I

318
00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:41,820
haven't heard about it. But that
that's the intent there. And

319
00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:45,330
that's going to be on keto
cooking.com. There's a YouTube

320
00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:51,030
channel too, for keto cooking,
and that link is that blog. I

321
00:26:51,030 --> 00:26:56,880
have an idea for another podcast
after that. But that'll be at a

322
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:02,100
later time. I'm still trying to
develop the logo and the website

323
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:08,070
for that. But I think that'll
that'll keep me pretty busy. You

324
00:27:08,070 --> 00:27:10,590
know if I can produce these
every week, which is my

325
00:27:10,590 --> 00:27:17,970
intention to to at least do.
Record one episode a week day

326
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,730
for each of these different
podcasts. I've got four right

327
00:27:20,730 --> 00:27:23,640
now. So I can do you know,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

328
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,340
Thursday, whatever, I'll
probably do the financial one on

329
00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:29,460
Saturday, because that I can
actually do just like a recap of

330
00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:37,950
what happened during the week
from the blog. And just give a

331
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,990
recap, and then do the recap, a
monthly recap. At the beginning

332
00:27:42,990 --> 00:27:47,910
of each month, I just had to
decide now, what days I'm going

333
00:27:47,910 --> 00:27:52,560
to record each one. And then
what that content is going to be

334
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,760
I haven't figured all of this
stuff out, I'm still very much

335
00:27:57,180 --> 00:28:03,240
throwing it together as I go.
I'm fairly I don't like editing

336
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,760
I hate editing. As a matter of
fact, I don't like editing

337
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,820
video, I don't like editing
audio. I don't even like editing

338
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:13,020
photos, but photos now is so
easy to do. And in some basic

339
00:28:13,020 --> 00:28:17,730
apps, or even you know, I do use
Lightroom and I use Photoshop to

340
00:28:17,730 --> 00:28:23,070
a certain extent. But I do it in
a way where it's just very non

341
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,720
non invasive, because I just
don't have the attention span,

342
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,190
especially for video editing. So
whatever I put together for

343
00:28:32,190 --> 00:28:34,980
YouTube channel, I'm trying to
figure out the best way where I

344
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:41,220
can just throw it together.
Shove it out there and and and

345
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:44,820
put it out there just it's just
for my own amusement, if

346
00:28:44,820 --> 00:28:48,810
anything comes of it fine. If it
doesn't, this is just what I'm

347
00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:54,810
doing because I feel like it so
we'll see and so that's why

348
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,450
everything that I've purchased
and the kind of setup that I'm

349
00:28:57,450 --> 00:29:02,580
working with right now it's all
based on my lazy production and

350
00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:07,560
my lack of attention span and
poor production skills. I can do

351
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,330
all these things. I just don't
do them well because I I never

352
00:29:12,330 --> 00:29:17,640
been one to concentrate on them.
This is this is a one man a one

353
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,490
man band one man show all of
this stuff is stuff I'm just

354
00:29:20,490 --> 00:29:24,150
going to do on my own. So that's
pretty much what I wanted to

355
00:29:24,150 --> 00:29:28,560
cover today. This is like the
longest podcast I put together

356
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,370
so far. I met the 30 minute mark
and I don't think I've talked

357
00:29:32,370 --> 00:29:38,250
that long by myself ever. So
I've reached the milestone I'm

358
00:29:38,250 --> 00:29:41,310
over the 1620 minute mark
whatever the other one that I've

359
00:29:41,340 --> 00:29:50,100
that I've done but I think I'll
end it there just with you other

360
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:53,400
thing that's I'm not gonna end
it there yet. I've got one other

361
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,490
thing that to talk about that I
feel weird about. And I hear

362
00:29:56,490 --> 00:30:00,000
every other podcast do it. They
and everybody asks for don't

363
00:30:01,380 --> 00:30:04,230
Because this does cost money,
obviously the equipment costs

364
00:30:04,230 --> 00:30:09,540
money, it costs money to to have
my websites and to run it all.

365
00:30:10,290 --> 00:30:15,120
Not only that, you know, I am
sort of semi retired, I like to

366
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,230
say because I am working just
not. I'm not working full time

367
00:30:19,230 --> 00:30:27,270
or doing a normal job. So, you
know, I would like to ask for

368
00:30:27,270 --> 00:30:33,510
donations, but it feels really
weird. And maybe other

369
00:30:33,660 --> 00:30:37,110
podcasters run into that. You
know, I don't, I don't want to

370
00:30:37,110 --> 00:30:40,800
do advertising. I don't think
anything I do would be

371
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:47,790
advertising friendly anyway. But
you never know. So, I do have a

372
00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:52,320
link on each website for
donations. And obviously, I'm

373
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,040
willing to accept anything
anybody wants to give. So if you

374
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,460
feel like it if you liked
anything that I said or if any

375
00:30:59,460 --> 00:31:01,800
of the information that I'm
providing is any good you

376
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:12,090
please, you know, do the weird
thing and donate. Other than

377
00:31:12,090 --> 00:31:19,290
that, think about think that's
it, so maybe I'll pass the 10

378
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:26,100
the 10 episode milestone at some
point. Hopefully next week.

379
00:31:31,980 --> 00:31:38,730
Any comments? Send us a mail ma
Ei l at Kevin made calm.

380
00:31:45,420 --> 00:31:48,210
I wish I could remember what my
email addresses for chasing the

381
00:31:48,210 --> 00:31:52,140
yield or podcast idiot have to
look it up. They can't remember

382
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:57,750
too many email addresses to go
through. Any questions?

383
00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:02,460
Comments, advice? take anything.

384
00:32:07,980 --> 00:32:14,160
Thanks for listening. The
podcast next week later
