VLOG : WEEK IN OUR LIVES

Mike Andes and Sam document a week of their lives, cooking together, planning travel, playing pool, and going on outdoor adventures. It's a casual look at their daily routines and the conversations that fill them.
Yeah, I think it's definitely. I'm filling up the ice punch. Ice cold plunge.
With what?
Because we forgot to get a five gallon bucket in the store.
Incredible.
Next level, shack. Here we go. All right. Got ourselves a carnivore crate situation over here. Boom. Just like that. Crispy, very thin. Mostly egg. My wife made it. It's great. Okay, now we got whipped cream. Boom. Sweetened with alulose, right? Yes. Very good. See right now, quarter of ham's just shaking in the food. Cote. Boom. Little cinnamon situation. Lots of cinnamon situation. Very good. All right, now over here, sweetened with monk fruit maple syrup. Very good. Okay. Oops. My new career. Forget lawn care. We in cooking. Very good. That's right. All right. Wonderful sound you're hearing. Not a water fountain, not a water feature. It's a copad. See, look at this. Boom. Boom. It is getting cold. It has an app to it so I can adjust the temperature. And it is. Right now it's getting great. Code. Boom. It started off at 94 degrees, 92 degrees. Oh, you can't see it. Now it's 69 degrees and I'm setting it to 38 degrees. Yep. So I didn't fill it up all the way because I wanted to take one tonight. And so hopefully it chills down. So in the meantime, I'll go meet Brianna at pool upstairs in the apartment.
Not true.
Brianna's gonna lose at shuffleboards upstairs in our apartment. Got pool. And then we got Brandon. He's gonna lose to Michael. Okay.
Ready to lose?
Yep. Dad's not good.
Get out of town. That doesn't count.
Okay, folks, Brandon had a brilliant idea. You tell them about your brilliant idea.
I'm pretty sure this is your brilliant idea. Here's the idea. All right, so we're trying to do more turnarounds to catch up for the holiday season. That's right. So actually, this doesn't make any sense.
Why it doesn't make sense?
Cuz we'd be uploading consecutive days. It's not like we'd be caught up at all, but whatever. Okay, disregard that. Cut. Redo. Instead of doing a normal turnaround trip where we're only gone for about five days and doing four turnarounds.
Nobody got time for that.
We are thinking about renting an RV and doing 10 turnarounds in two weeks.
Brilliant idea.
We'll see. We'll see. We're still workshopping this idea. We're going to look at RV rentals tonight. But we still need to talk to the team about this.
And the Team said they'd do it.
They said they would do it. Like, we were talking very hypothetical. It's one of those things where it's like, oh, yeah, man, I'd love to go backpacking in the Sahara or whatever. Like, nobody would want to do that. It's just the novelty of it, you know?
Anyways, backpacking as a hero is next on the agenda.
We're still trying to work out the logistics of it.
Like, logistics. It's okay. Our travel coordinator will have it planned in a jiffy.
Yeah, that's a lot of planning. But actually, we're gonna sleep in the rv. So we save money on hotels. That's right. And we don't need to worry about rental cars because we're in the rv.
Let's get it anytime. Fitness for showers. Yeah.
And then cooking. I can cook. At least our dinners. Like, we just buy eggs. Actually can cook all three meals. That would be fun, actually. I would love to do that. We would save so much money. It would probably be our cheapest turnaround. Even though it's two weeks. Probably not. And we might, like, break even.
But we have to do 14 vlogs. 14 days of vlog.
Yes. We're gonna vlog every single day. So we do the turnarounds during the weekdays, and then on the weekends, we plan something fun to vlog, so.
Okay, that's the idea. Now time to go beat Bana at pool.
Do you want to kick us off or should I do the honors?
You go ahead. I have a question.
I'm a professional in my past life. Am I holding it right?
Go ahead, Banna. What an amazing shot.
All right. Wow us with your skills. Going for solids. Okay. Okay, folks, let's see if he makes it. Fingers crossed he doesn't. Come on, let's go. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. How does it feel? Hey, watch the pro in action. Come on.
Man's going for this shot here. Decision.
I can't mess this up. I don't want to mess up.
I think you're going to sink the white bowl, honestly. Yep, there it goes.
But I still am solid.
Now you're solid. Is back in the next shot.
Down to the wire. Will he do it? I just got my passport photo taken, and let me tell you, there is not a single more humbling experience than that. I guess it's my fault for doing it as one of my, like, first errands in the morning. It's 8:40 right now, so I still. My mic just texted me. I'm still like, I still look Tired. But you guys, I have a lazy eye in the picture and you can see the ones it that I have right now. It's popping out. Look at that. Look at that. So humbling. Anyways, I'm doing this pretty last minute because I go in in a few hours to actually go get my passport, like, redone at the post office. So in the meantime, though, I'm gonna go hit a workout. So let's go hit some back.
Sam.
Thanks so much. All right. Being that it is a rainy day in Washington, that means it's no better time than to bake. So I'm experimenting with a carnivore sl keto cheesecake cake. I'm kind of just making it up as I go along. I do like to research recipes and kind of just take tidbits from those and like, put them all into one. So for the crust, hear me out, you guys. Okay? The crust, I use crushed pork rinds, butter, and some allulose to counteract the saltiness of the pork rinds. And I actually think it's going to be a great sweet and salty situation. But it really wasn't that bad. Like, the butter bounces out and so did the little bit of allulose that I added. So that's the crust. Now for the fill, I'm using this protein powder. It's the Equip brand and it has such clean ingredients. Sweet miss Stevia. It is grass fed beef protein, so I can handle that. I can't handle whey or like soy, which you don't want to eat soy. Anyway. It's a really good peanut butter protein powder. So I made a cream cheese frost or cream cheese filling with it. I use that. Just a little bit of heavy cream and allulose to make it. It's sitting in the fridge right now. So now we're gonna work on the other two layers. Even though it's not carnivore, Mike would love if I did, like, a chocolate layer. So I got these unsweetened cocoa wafers from Whole Foods. I don't know if I'll use those or if I'll use the sugar free chocolate chips that I also got from Whole Foods. This is like Lily's basically, but a little bit cheaper. But I might do this. I'll just do like a thin layer. If I melt this with some butter, I think that's what I'll do. This is a chocolate peanut butter no bake keto carnivore cheesecake. And I'm so excited to try this, you guys. It Looks so good. I'm surprised the crust actually stayed together so well. The butter did its job, but I have a feeling it's going to be very salty. Not gonna lie. Even though I use quite a bit of alulose in the. In the fillings. But there's a bite of it can definitely tell the crust made pork rinds. I think next time I should add more sweetener. Not gonna lie. It's so good. It's still really good. I will be making this again. I will just have to make some tweaks to it once I perfect it though. Be watching out on my Instagram for the recipe because I will share. Where are we?
Fragrance lake.
Fragrance Lake. You guys. We hiked up a mountain and there's a lake on the mountain.
So still and quiet. Can I do my echo? Yeah. Hey.
Anytime we're in the stadium or the airport parking garage or a place like this, he likes to test out the acoustics.
Better. That's right.
He took advantage of the lack of noise around here and filmed an ad.
For the media team. Said I need to channel my inner vlog style energy to be able to. Doesn't she look beautiful? I think she looks beautiful. To channel my inner vlog energy for the call to actions. The mid rolls for the videos because the other ones were like to advertisement. So that's what I did. I was like, hey everybody.
So let's cut to the other day. We went to the Bellingham shop and Michael is a unit and he was.
Incorporating basically dozens and dozens of ads and CT's. But the problem with that is the. The CTA's call to actions that were supposed to be in the middle of the video started turning. They felt like ads. So we're going to keep them and they'll be useful at some point. But the. The Zach. Zach said I needed to channel my inner vlog energy.
Got to be more natural.
Yeah. Why are you not showing your face?
Because you're talking.
But you're more beautiful.
No, it's not true.
So yeah. Cut, cut. Cut to the tape.
Cut to the tape.
What is his name? David. You can actually book a call now. I'm doing one more just like John's. I highly recommend you get accounting firm. Didn't I already talk about this in your door? That's just a one of few many bana. Okay. If you're like Paxton and you just don't know your numbers and you don't have any metrics or profit and loss statement, I highly recommend you find an accountant. Now we have a firm called Home Service cpa, where you can do all your bookkeeping, payroll, all of your accounting, and your tax prep.

I do. Nope.
There was a big fishy that jumped out earlier.
How do they get up here?
Evolution.
Did someone just, like, release two fish and they populated?
No, it couldn't be. Things like birds, they poop that eat fish, they transport the eggs, things like that. You right. Hey, I love Bella.
All right, everybody, ending the vlog off here. We are kind of taking a slow Saturday. Mike is in there doing the co pilot mastermind right now. This morning we did that little hat hike around Fragrance Lake, as you guys saw, with perfect weather. You know, it was fantastic. If you watched this far into the vlog, you're a real one. If you got this far only because you skipped through, get out. Hope you guys have had a fantastic week and hope you have a fantastic day and hope you have a fantastic year. I hope you're fantastic. Bye.
