Chapters
Are you about to do.
We're about to do something I haven't done five or six years.
We're about to do a very white girl activity. Walking through a pumpkin patch. Let's go.
This is a quintessential North Pacific Northwest thing to do. Everyone must do it. You have to go to walk into a barn, a farm. You have to step your shoes in some. Some manure to get muddy, to take a hay ride.
That sounds so glamorous.
And then you have to take a picture of the pumpkin. Avoided this. This purgatory for the past five or six years. We're out here coming to you live from White girl Alley. White girl Parapalooza.
What's it called? Halapalooza or something like that?
Yeah, we're crushing it here. Here on the Pinterest world. This could be called Pinterest World. Here we have donuts.
Over here we have hayrides and cornhole. Cornhole? Is that what it's called?
Yes.
Over here we have tires that children are just randomly ravaging tires. Fire pits. Over here we have. What's it called? Exposed wood. Oh, look at this. B. We have tractor rides. Oh, my goodness. In the distance across the way, you see the tractor ride back banner. Can we go into. I want to go on the track.
This is why we don't really do events or things like this, because Michael doesn't really have the best of times.
I not be good behavior. I not be on good behavior. Feels like the white girl tacks on.
Wow. I think Mike and I have come to the conclusion that these kinds of things are just not our forte.
Hey, we did it.
We came and we. We looked around. We literally got in the dead middle of everyone's way. And for all the people who don't.
Have pumpkins, you guys show them the pumpkins.
This is right. As if you can't go to Walmart and find these.
Look at the size of these things, folks. Yeah, but they don't get pumpkin farm Santa.
Be a great thumbnail.
That one's very deformed, I have to say.
Which one?
Poor guy.
He's huge.
I don't think I've ever been to a pumpkin patch until now. So I was like, ah, why not? It could be fun. It's an apple farm. I'll bring Mike. You know, and it's.
Every guy here.
I go to the grocery store.
Looks like they just wish they could be at Cabela's, but their wife was like, honey, we'll do this outdoor activity. Kids will love it.
They probably had a compromise. Capella's after this.
I spent a bunch of money on a bunch of overpriced fruit sitting out in the middle of a field.
You know, Mike and I Saturday routine is the exact same every time, and it's because we have it dialed. We go run Oyster dome or do some type of cardio activity in the morning, and then we have breakfast, we have a brunch, then we go out to a coffee shop to work. We get a massage, and that's our Saturday. We're such grinches. Michael felt like losing the cornhole, so here goes nothing.
You know, I slept wrong on my neck last night, so you're good. Thank you. I slept wrong on my neck last night, so I cannot even turn to my left. I blame my disadvantage on that.
Now, this is what we're having for dinner. This is mine.
And that is the whole pot.
And this is my plate.
Very nummy. What is this?
It's chuck roast. First I seared it in the Dutch oven, seasoned it, seared it, and then let it sit.
Why is it called a Dutch oven?
I don't know, but those things are very versatile.
Comment below if you agree.
All meat, all baked goods. I'm messy. Yeah. So much better. We just eat it right, Right out of the pot.
Soup.
Way better. Meat right off the grill, right off the.
He likes to eat the steak and everything right out of the pan.
It was cooked in like yam fries. All the seasoning, all the salt.
Mmm. So much.
Way more efficient than untying them and re tying them all over again.
What's up? Vlog came to command center this morning to sit in the media team meeting and now I'm about to head to the gym, but I'm having a pre workout snack real quick. Bananas and honey. You know, for a good pump.
I.
Think I previously used this container for onions and even though I washed it, you know, onion, the smell of onions and onion juice is the hardest thing to get rid of.
The smell.
Definitely used it for onions before. It is chest and shoulder day. Upper body days will always be my favorite. Is it because it's easier than leg day? Probably. But trying to make myself enjoy legs more. As long as you show up for it though, it's a good workout. That tastes a little funky. I need to like.
Bleach this container or something that smells like onions. It's so gross. Crush the carbs. Let's go get a workout in.
Alrighty, folks, it is a Monday afternoon evening. We are headed to a pier to not only walk Together, spend quality time, but at the same time, knock out some work. And that is. We're gonna film some B roll shots for Mike Cheese for his vlogs on his main channel.
Media team has been harassing me about getting more shots of me doing random things like driving, walking through doors, walking in general, being on my phone. Hey, great round table, though.
Yeah, tell them about that. What is a roundtable?
All the members of Augusta Nation. It's like an hour and a half. Was an hour and a half. Something like that.
Something like that. An hour.
Talk about all the new updates from this past month and what's on the horizon. It's good.
And y' all do that every quarter, right?
Every quarter.
So Mike has, like, a shot list of all the B roll we need to get, and some of the things on there was, like, steam coming off of coffee. Was it really getting in out of doors? Yeah, I think you might have copy and pasted from ChatGPT or something. And, like, opening and closing a door, brushing teeth, drinking a Jaco.
Right.
All the things. All the things. Part of Michael's daily routine. So we're gonna knock out some of them tonight while we can. Look at this cute little. Cute little area, guys. They have outdoor movies.
This is called a fun cafe. Right there. This is that. That they painted a mural over there. The painting. 1927 here in Fairhaven. This is where they do movies in the summer, which here is July and August. And that's basically it. So they watch movies here, and everyone lays out here on the grass. Beautiful place. If you ever come to Bellingham, come to Fairhaven. Go to my favorite health store, which is Big Love.
Get another butter smoothie.
Another butter smoothie. Because that was what we had on our third date together when I broke the news to Brianna that it was all a setup.
Yeah, if you don't know what he's referring to, watch our how we met video and you'll know. A beautiful night, though. Michael's crushing it. Doing so good with the B roll. He's not feeling awkward at all? No, he's doing amazing. It'd be cool if we got B roll shots of us. Oh, we're driving there.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, look, he still opens the door for me ever since day one. He's amazing.
The golden hour. Lock in.
We're at another location, pretty close to Fairhaven.
Getting D roll for days. You will see this B roll for the next six months of your life.
It's true.
On the main channel.
Check out that sunset, though. Like, this is perfect. With the boats so picturesque.
So the media team said we need more B roll for transition shots. Cuz, like, how the vlog works is Michael's like, oh, I did something, I need to record it. Oh, all right, folks, this is what we did today. And then the next thing is like, this is what we're doing today. And they're like, we need some transition shots. It's like you walking in and out of a car, getting in and out of a car, walking through doors, getting on elevators, walking along here. So right now we're doing the cinematic. The cinematic shots next to the golden hour here at Boulevard Park. Beautiful sunrise, sunset.
Great.
Oh, no, folks, look at this model. What a hoodie. Oh, so beautiful. And that's beautiful too. Look at that.
Good morning, everybody. I need yalls opinion about something. Okay, so I really have been wanting to hang up some pictures from Mike and I's wedding. The only one that we have in here so far is the painting that the live artist did, which is my absolute favorite. That is one of my favorite details of our wedding day. But I want to, like, get actual prints from the pictures that our photographers took. And we don't really have a lot of wall space in here. Okay. So I could probably do a couple above our bed. But that thing is in the way. It's also hidden. We obviously spend the majority of our time throughout the day in the living room, like main, like, kitchen area. So the only other spot that we have is right above the tv. Like, that's pretty blank. Or what I could do is move this painting somewhere or just get rid of it and put our pictures here. You know what, that's actually not a bad idea. I kind of like that idea. I would either get rid of that painting and put it on this wall above the TV or just like not put it anywhere and get rid of it.
Either way, there's this really cool app called mix tiles. I've actually never used them before. Not sponsored or anything. Upload from your camera or whatever pictures you want to use. And you can like customize it. You pick whatever frame you want. You pick the size. The inspiration that I'm going for is I want to do like at least two pictures. Ideally three would be something like this where like, it's us a detail shot and then us again. Just need pick what pictures I want and where I want to put them. I actually like the idea of having them here above the couch. I'm going to make a decision. I have severe decision fatigue whenever I'm spending over 20 bucks on a single object. What's really cool about these is that they're also apartment friendly in the sense that you, like, look, you stick it. Oh.
You stop. The video keeps, like, disappearing as I'm trying to show you. Like, you peel the back off and you just stick. Stick it to the wall. And apparently it has really good stick. We'll reconvene after. I've decided, with the help of ChatGPT, I've come to a conclusion. So basically, I took a picture of what it looks like right now, which is this with the cityscape picture, and I sent it the three photos from our wedding that I want to use, and I told it to replace the cityscape, put our wedding photos on there. And obviously with ChatGPT, it kind of messes up the images a little bit, but that's what it would look like. And it is so sick. Like, check that out. I love it. I was actually gonna go with white frames until I saw that picture. I actually love how it makes the photo pop. So I might go with the black frame, like a thin black frame. And then I got the measuring tape and measured what it would look like If I did three size of 20 by 27. So it looks like we're gonna go with that. I'm so excited. I've been wanting to get our wedding photos in here for so long, but I also don't like cluttering the walls too much because it just makes the room look messy if there's too much going on. But I think if I take that blue picture down and replace it with this, it's gonna look really good. I'm so excited. This is what it will look like. I think I'm gonna keep this one in the middle just to kind of divide the far away photos. But it's such a huge plus that they're apartment friendly, basically. Oh, I think I'm getting a discount. My first order, saving 25% off. Why is that? I won't even have to put any holes in the wall. Just stick them on the wall. And I'm so excited about this. Let's go. Months ago, I started a process to get some Invisalign, like offering Invisalign, I guess, by the company named Smiley. What should have taken me probably six weeks took months just because, like, long story. It's a long story. Basically, I finally just got them in. Once you send your prints and they kind of get to know what your goal is for the Invisalign. They, like, make, I believe, 10 to 10 or 12 sets of them. Whoa, whoa. I just opened it upside down. Oops. Oh my goodness. Look at the case. That is so sick. And I don't know what that is. Don't know what this is, but cool. A teeth whitening kit, bro. That's actually so cool. And then these are all the Invisalign. Oh, sick. So they have them bagged in here and it's like step one, step two and like they number all of them that I use in order. I believe I use them for a month to six weeks. That is so cool. If it's like a glow, I have like a little lisp now. My teeth aren't crooked by any means. I just wanted to fix, tweak a couple things. But I'm so excited about this. It's so crazy how perfectly it fits. It was well worth the wait. Good morning everyone. It is here days later. And update. I did order those pictures. ChatGPT has me convinced. Once I saw what it would look like on the wall instead of that picture, I was like, I. I don't know why I haven't done this sooner. Honestly, I don't have really any blues in the house anymore. At least not in the main like living area. It would just go so much better in here. I will obviously check back in next week whenever we have had them hung up. But it is leg day today. It is a rainy, rainy, gloomy Friday morning. I don't know about you guys, but there is something cozy about lifting during a gloomy day. I'm gonna get my pre workout snack in which of course, banana and some honey.
I know Mike and I have talked about it on here before, but macro factor is such a lifesaver. I love this app so much. It makes it so much easier to just log everything I used to use. MyFitnessPal. Hated it. This is so much better. So obviously not doing Carnivore anymore, or even keto for that matter. I'm just tracking calories and macros and just really trying to get more motivated back in the gym. I've always strength trained. I never really stopped, but I kind of fell out of love with it over the course of like six months. But in the past two weeks, I'm getting back on the train. We're hitting it harder than ever. I've been so sore every single day pretty much. So it feels really good just to be more motivated and actually have like carbs in my system to fuel my workouts. Whereas before it kind of felt like if I wasn't getting a pump then it wasn't really.
Effective. So anyways, gonna scarf this down and go hit some legs. Can we just address the fact that Michael has not only he has one.
I'll show you my collection.
Not two, not three. Not just three.
No, no, no, wait, where's. Oh, one second, one second. The one, the red one is the one I use all the time.
Please hold. Four pairs of AirPods. Yeah. In his car.
Can I explain why?
And a pair of Beats and a pair of Apple headphones.
Hey, hey, hey. The Apples are backups or the Beats are backups.
Please explain.
Okay, so here's how it goes. There is.
I have to say I have my AirPods 2.
That's right.
Single pair of AirPod Pros. My tried and true. We out here making sure.
Making sure Apple stays alive, basically. And then these are the most recent ones I just got last week. They are the brand new, just released AirPods 3 Pro. I highly recommend. They are great. They fit in my ear better. They have five different size tips. So if you've ever had a problem with them fitting in your ears, these ones are significantly better. They cost way too much. But once you've tried any other earbud, you come back to the realization that they're just that much better.
Michael single handedly makes sure that Apple is encouraged to produce a new AirPod every year.
I know.
Look, for anyone out there that's ever had AirPods, Apple AirPods Pro, you just have to admit they're the best.
I didn't even know he had that many pairs until, until this morning. And I was like, oh, I got another pair.
I got another pair. This is my backup pair.
His Beats.
This is a Beats backup pair. This is where you sound so consumers. These are my Apple Pros. Or they have. They don't feel good in my ears. They hurt my ears. But they are backups. And you're like, well, why do you need four for backup? Because you need backups to your backups to your backups. Because I told Brandon this this morning, I would rather buy all of them then have one workout session where I didn't have AirPods or headphones of any sort.
That's crazy.
And then at the office, I also have AirPod Pro Max's, the actual headphones over your headphones.
Just as backup. Because you never know. You never know.
Vanna, would you rather never be able to listen to anything in your earbuds again or never have a jocko again?
Oh, that's easy.
Okay.
Never have a job.
Would you rather the first one or Would you rather no.
No audio or never be able to.
Drive a car again? You had to walk everywhere.
Oh, well, okay, so we have to. If I can't drive, can I hire someone else to drive?
No, you have to walk everywhere. Like, you can never get in a car again.
I can't get in a car?
No, it's a very broad. It's a very wide spectrum. Like, either options have no correlation to the other ones.
Okay, well, now we need to clarify the first one. Make it dramatic. I can't. But can I listen outside of my ear? Like, can it be, like, just through a speaker only? Yeah, that's fine.
No, no, like. Like a. Like an obnoxious booth.
Big speaker.
Yeah, you had to take it with you to the gym and in your own corner, blare the music.
Be one of those people who does that. I'd probably have to go with that because I don't want to walk anywhere. Yeah, no, we have to do that. I have to be that big guy. I take the one from the office, the big jbl, and just walk around on my shoulder, just, like, have Alex just rocking it. That's right.
Raise your prices. Raise your prices. Well, look at how gorgeous it looks here right now. Very, very fallish. It's been raining all morning, so you have that gloomy effect.
Look at that colors right there, folks. You got, like, orange, you got yellow, you got dark green, you got dark green. What can you ask for more?
We're gonna go work at a coffee shop per our usual Saturday routine. Hope you've had a great weekend and a good Monday. Bye.
Happy fall. Bye.
