So take us through what we are looking at at the moment.

This is a structure that's basically a, a s- like a pavilion really that it's inspired by the mussel shells of Morecambe.

So, uh, when it arrived in a crane, everyone said there's a, there's a UFO landing in Chelsea.

Uh, uh, and you can see the sort of mussel shell features on the underside of it and the reflections of the water-

[laughs]

... uh, very much part of the whole sea theme.

It's made out of recycled steel, and we- we're sort of, uh, using something called clamcrete, uh, which is concrete made with clams and very little cement.And the clams are from the area, uh, and they're waste product for a tinning process that takes the clams and, and throws away the shells.

So yeah, and it's the little details like the sort of, uh, the- the rill that will a- allow water to come in.

And it's two different, uh, volcano.

volcano.Dukono have a deep crater.

It's about 50 meter depth, and the material mostly 80% ash, and the other are rock and lava liquid.

And the strong Stromboli or strong bomb, all the material just fly out, which is very dangerous.

And but we are used to it because we grow up here, we listen every time, so we are used to it.

And Mount Ibu have a lava dome on top.

Lava dome is very dangerous because one day can be collapsed.

Do you not get scared then, a little bit?

Tucson?

All right.

Um, you could be forgiven for mistaking what jumps out next as being, uh, organic or possibly a living creature.

Um, it is bipedal, and as it lands on the ground, um, the, like, multi-jointed legs take the impact, and then it starts to, uh, run immediately.

Uh, there is a sort of greenish color to him, and it is definitely made of some sort of carapace on the armor plates around his body.

He has a massive, uh, blade largely the size of himself in his right arm, and a, uh, chain axe already roaring in his left.

Uh, he also has visibly underneath the plates, um, these large, like, reddish colored tendons that are lit with a, um, azure light that seems to be there to sort of protect him and keep him functioning.

Okay.

[laughs]

But, um, we built the...

It was supposed to be, like, u- um, a school that was putting on, like, Romeo and Juliet, but then at the last moment it got changed to The Comedy of Errors.

And so we built this really big, like, platform with, like, a balcony that was supposed to be, you know, like, the famous scene from Romeo and Juliet.

Do you have ideas for what you want your graphic novel to be about?

Well, I make a lot of, like, of my own characters, so, like, something about them.

You know, like, I like, like, sci-fi and fantasy things a lot, so, like, something along those lines.

Um, but I also, you know, I used to read, um, a lot of graphic novels, and, like, the author would tell a story about themselves.

So, I mean, was stuff going on? You were doing stuff that was kind of feeding the anxiety a little bit?

I think so.

Like, I started partying and stuff, um, like a year and a half ago, and then from there I just, it just, a lot started happening, and then I just got really depressed with a lot of things.

I lost, or one of my best friends like s- um, kind of just dropped me out of nowhere.

"I'm not doing this anymore"?

I think it was everyone around me started, um, getting into drugs and stuff, and so I just felt like I kinda had to be part of that.

And so I kinda just fell into that crowd of like, people doing stuff like that, and I just, I guess I wanted to fit in.

Now, you've played some great courses in Ireland, so how do you think Old Head sort of stacks up compares to them?

Definitely the most spectacular, definitely the most extreme, um, and just so different to the others.

I mean, Ballybunion yesterday, the last 12 holes at Ballybunion just got better and better and better, and Waterville was just so special because we had it calm.

So it, it's, and Tralee, it's, it's hard to compare, but the, the most spectacular here, the most extreme, and just felt like every hole was an adventure here.

What do you, what do you kind of make of the prices that they charge these days?

It, it, that's a hard one.

I, I think they're probably now getting to that level at 500 odd euro around in general.

It, it, it feels pretty full.

[laughs]

So then as soon as I got that, I went down to Bucknell, um, Penn State, Pittsburgh, and I hit Penn State again.

Um, and two of them...

Well, no. Bucknell, no.

It was Pittsburgh and yeah, Pittsburgh, I got stormed in Chipotle.

Yeah.

So it's, it's really hard to like...

I wouldn't say it's hard to adopt a child, but it's like to the point that like getting, um, I would say, getting the, the kid right mentally, physically, you know what I mean? Like-

Pretty, pretty good.

Yeah.

They're pretty easygoing folks.

Um, we had a lot of musician friends, uh, when we were growing up, and they'd have, like, jam sessions at our house-

[laughs]

Their parents also helped, like, take care of my kids when they were little, so they're the chillest, awesome folks.

But one time, her, her mom, or their mom said to me or the group was like, "Oh, yeah, babies.

Yeah, they feel a lot better going in than they do coming out." [laughs]

[laughs]

...

I was like, "Yeah, let's ha- let's have this geezer." So he's joining us.

He's gonna be doing an exhibition and also a talk with you guys.

Uh, the Dreamcast Junkyard are joining us as well, which again, if you know me and the YouTube channel I normally run, massive Dreamcast guy.

[laughs] Um, so they are joining us.

Um, they're not doing a talk or anything, um, they're saving that for another event we haven't announced yet for later on in the year.

[laughs]

How are you?

Um, I completely agree with you, uh, that, uh, these, uh, like legacy protection systems are currently the best bet against the AI.

Uh, and why I call them legacy protection, because I'm afraid that pro- uh, governments or just market practices could take them away.

I mean IP protection, I mean patents-

And, and, and you will be able to use AI to enhance your IP.

Sure.

Sure.

But at the same time, uh, currently, for example, Apple and Google, and es- especially Apple, if I, if I come to Apple with my patent, they, they just take away any, any competitors that infringe our patents.

Yeah.

So as far as getting hunters together, getting guys to do this and, and, and doing it in a, in a, in a light that we want it to be in, I ...

We will never change this, man.

[laughs]

Like all the crazy stories that you run into.

Turkeys just haven't been a part of hunting that long, so for us to start something more or less that could become the part of what, you know-

[laughs]

Um, I, first, Nick, 100% agree with you on the spirit box.

We have a spirit box in our arsenal.

We use it to try to, like, prime the pump, so to speak, when we're out and about, to try to get things moving if, uh, none of the other equipment can catch anything to start with.

Just to k- check all the boxes, try to cover all the bases and see what's going on.

We have gotten things with the spirit box, but when it comes to actually, like, definitively saying, "Yes, like, absolutely this is something we can't, uh, we can't argue about.

It's definitively paranormal activity", inherently you can't, because the spirit box has that error margin in it.

Yeah.

[laughs]

...

it had to be a song, so that, that, you know, Nelson put some chords to it and then, yeah, it was, it was interesting some song... how songs develop.

Some start with, you know, your groove and your feel, but a lot of the time it's with an idea of words and stuff.

But this was definitely drum driven, and I think that shows in the-

Well, before we let you go, uh, what's the, what does the rest of 2026 look like for The Cauliflowers?

Yeah.

So lots of music, lots of music.

They mattered.

It connects to, to earlier what you were saying about want- being part of a collective even though they're, like each piece is, you know, adds up to that.

Which is why, I mean, that crosses beyond Judaism when you s- say their, say her name, say their name.

Alex?

Alex?Uh, you d- I-- you summed up what I was gonna say.

I mean, ultimately, it's also, to me, a reflection of the state of the human condition and anxiety, which is a problem arises or something arises and that, at least I can speak for myself, the immediacy in which something needs to be sorted out, resolved or, um, you know, making a risk-averse choice.

Now, of course, there's some intelligence in that, but things need time to work themselves out.

And I can speak for myself, I always want an immediate resolution, and it's that wor- it's that discomfort in that, and not planning and not problem-solving all the what-ifs or trying to force something to happen and kinda letting things unfold, I guess.

Am I wrong?

No, you're exactly right.

And we talked about them just staying on the gas pedal in the second half.

So, you know, we got on the scoreboard early.

Uh, Dreyer showed up.

You know, he, he popped one in the first half.

We're up 2-0 at halftime.

Right.

Maybe we ask if he wants to do the next Elysium program with us?

You do realize it's been, like, a year since we spoke, right? Like, actually spoke.

And now you text me out of nowhere, ask me to call you, and you expect to just pick up where we left off?

That's all they're doing.

My mom used to sit like that.

When things were bad, she didn't argue.

She didn't fight.

She just stayed.

You have already given so much, but is anyone willing to help?"

Shathidion kind of looks at everybody and, um, no, I don't...

Shathidion kind of looks back at everybody.

Well, obviously, as the leader of the Champions Four, I am going to nominate Serathin, our strongest member, arguably not quite as strong as me, but, uh, um, Serathin has a...

No, S- Serathin, you have a shop.

You have things you have to do.

People are counting on you.

Uh, what, what do you think they see in Shathidion's face as he places his hand on the root?

Yeah

... of like I don't want to skip out on this week.

And so trying to balance am I pushing too hard? Should I have taken a rest? Whatever, right? That's just this border that you're trying to navigate.

Hopefully wisely.

I did a couple warm-up sets and I did a working set and then I was going into my next working set and I was probably resting over three minutes in between each set because it was nervous system fatigue, like mental fatigue.

I'm just kind of tired and I was [laughs] waiting for pre-workout to kick in.

And I'm sitting there on the bench, like music's rolling, I'm picking a good song and then I sat there kind of closing my eyes, breathing deeply, trying to get my adrenal system kind of kicking into gear, right? I'm like, "Okay, get ready for this next set." And this guy next to me is, like, looking at me and when I look up, I made eyes with him and he's like, "You all right, man?" [laughs]

Yeah.

[rock music]

Welcome one, welcome all to Snail Trail 4x4 podcast.

If you like going off-roading in Toyotas, wrenching on Toyotas, camping in Toyotas, maybe making a little fun of Toyotas, and of course, botching Toyotas, I'm Tyler, and joining me today, as always, is ...

Just kidding.

It's Alex, Mark, and Gavin from Botches Offroad.

I'm Alex.

It takes me years.

When we, uh, for a long time, Futurama would play on loop in our house, like, literally 24/7.

But as the disease progresses, that's where we could see decreased or abnormal breath sounds like crackles, generalized hyperresonance, or an increased AP diameter of the chest, also known as a barrel chest.

Yes, all good things to know for boards there.

So do you know how we formally diagnose COPD? That's gonna be spirometry, which is a type of pulmonary function test.

This simply measures airflow limitation, and we're looking at something called the FEV1/FVC ratio.

So FEV1, or forced expiratory volume in one second, basically just measures how much air a patient can exhale in one second.

FVC is the forced vital capacity or the total amount of air someone can blow out with exhalation.

So a reduced FEV1/FVC ratio after receiving a bronchodilator signals COPD.

And what should all patients with COPD have on hand as a rescue inhaler? That is gonna be that SABA like albuterol.

Est-ce qu'il y a du positif dans tout ?

Oui, je pense que c'est ça.

On ne peut pas vraiment le savoir tant qu'on ne l'a pas expérimenté.

C'est dur parce que les premières années, on a une perception de nos besoins par rapport à quand on était dans une maison.

Souvent, on va se dire: Moi, ça me prend absolument une douche fermée, séparée.

Moi, ça me prend absolument un grand lit king.

Il y a des conforts qu'on est habitué à la maison que là, on se dit: Je ne peux pas vivre sans ça.

Oui, mais c'est les deux.

[laughs]

We kind of went on the outskirts of Nottingham.

It didn't re- it just, it didn't feel right.

Um, so we've gone back to the center, the city center, literally slap bang in the center.

Um, yeah, yeah, obviously it's, it's on the 18th of July, it's a Saturday.

It's just a one-day event.

Um, but as you can see there, uh, Roland Perry's gonna be joining us, um, with an exhibition, um, with some of his, obviously some of his Amstrads there, him- himself, him and his wife gonna be exhibiting.

Ooh.

And you're third in the player turn order.

I could have literally taken out every single one of these small guards if I wasn't power blocked, and it's so upsetting.

'Cause like the, the AOE attacks is what's gonna take out all the little guards.

'Cause, you know, meta gaming, they're all one HP so, you know, just gotta hit them real good.

They're mundanes.

What's Callum wanna do?

It's really a great question, what Callum does wanna do.

What I can tell you he doesn't wanna do is stand here and do nothing anymore, but he's kind of forced to.

C'est tous des gars qu'on est allés chercher par transaction aussi.

J'ai fait une grosse réalisation hier.

On disait que le Canadien, c'était une équipe de première ligne seulement.

Puis là, en play-off, ça a tout renversé.

Là, le Canadien, c'est une équipe de deuxième, troisième, quatrième ligne.

Puis là, c'est la première ligne qui avait le plus besoin.

Là, hier, tu as eu tout.

Qu'est-ce qui est dans le monde ?

You mean of the weekend?

Yeah, of the weekend.

Excuse me.

Um, and so there was two standout orbs here for me, but I just wanna talk about more of like this gentleman...

Hey, everybody.

This is Alex with Bledsoe Said So.

If you've been following the show for a little while, you'd know that I just had a child, and this has been one of the most life-changing experiences that I've ever been through.

[laughs]
