Hi Jovi. Let's see who's going to come in here. There's Cody Sun, ER Aquatics. Hi guys. I'm just trying this. I just got my wireless service re-strengthened, so we're going to try and see if we can stay online. So far it looks pretty good. I haven't done anything live yet, but I've done some videos that um worked out pretty well so we'll see we'll see how this goes i'm trying to get up on my web page though and it's not on my channel and it's not coming up let's see what the problem is there there we go and the phone's ringing and it's Bob Greenfield let's cut that all hey bob hello hey bob how are you hello yes and i just wanted to reaffirm that yeah they also are a scatterer are they nesting true that's right they don't yeah that's correct you don't think it's you don't think it's tilapia yeah yeah yeah try to get a picture of it if you can yeah it's not no I'm sure it's not I don't know let's try to get a picture yeah there's two there's two of them there well yeah try to get a picture try to get a picture to me try to send me a picture well that'll work yeah that'll work alright you know maybe you can close up on it all right okay so this is the kind of stuff i get every day i'm the local nature lore expert anything anybody sees they can't figure out they call me and they sit there and try to figure out what they're talking about this guy's got a couple of fish and a creek that runs by his house that are spawning and they're torpedo shaped about a foot plus long, freshwater. It's not tidal. I didn't know where they are, and I don't either. So we'll see if you can send a picture. Anyway, hi, everybody. Looks like we're broadcasting pretty well. This is not bad. How's the picture look? Let me take a look at that. Oh, it's much better. Much better. A little blurry, but really not bad at all. I assume you can all hear me punchy i saw you were on yesterday on that uh premiere premiere and i did not um have a chance to get back to you i've got to hear he is again all right let's try it hi bob correct yes okay thanks well this will be interesting let's see if um allow access to Boom, down, whatever. Anyway, Punchy, I did the premiere, and I was tied up with a customer when it came on. So I was not able to get to it right away. And by the time I got here, your name had scrolled by. And when I went back, it didn't go back far enough. So my apologies for missing you yesterday. I will not do that today. Happy to see you. Silly Susie is on Psychedelic Hippocampus, Curiouser and Curiouser, okay? Psychedelic Hippocampus. Well, I know it's not a fish. If I never watch another one of my videos, please watch that one. Which one? Did you watch the video? Well, I don't know. So, Punchy says, if you never watch another one of my videos, please watch that one. okay which one i'm not seeing anything um i like your videos chewy says not all snakes are vicious that's true some are just tiny little fish they're all predators we do have to change my name because at least on music video oh that's funny so psychedelic hippocampus what do we think about that it certainly uh is on an order with silly susie i'll give it that we'll get used to it by the end of the day what else oh there we go all right we're looking did i well oh my is that a picture of you oh my oh it's pretty impressive stuff i have a friend oh my well i'm duly impressed i have a a friend who's deceased now um his name was lewis frasino f-r-a-s-i-n-o he was uh he painted um hunting lore oh this is glorious he painted hunting lore pictures uh applied for contests and stamps and so forth but he was on this same level i've had a couple of friends two or three whose quality of art while not exceeding yours is certainly comparable. The painting I need to show you this, the painting on my wall back here is a painting done by my grandmother my mother's mother and it was painted as a wedding gift to my mother, so it it's from the mid-1930s, um she was uh uh untrained, she uh and I'm sure you can see that in things like the the skinny trunks on the trees and so forth, but she did quite a lot of painting and a lot of crafts. This painting reflected three of the different places my mother lived as a child, so when she uh when she gave this painting to my mother on her wedding day it was to reflect her childhood and all the childhood memories, this hung in our home through my entire, well it's been with me since I was born, I've had that painting, I've looked at that painting every day pretty much every day since the day I was born so I'm looking at your video right now, Punchy. It is utterly amazing. I'm going to stop it and go back. I just want to get back to it and spend a little more time. It's magnificent stuff. Your Western motif is really interesting. Let's see if I'm going to get back here. Yes. All right. I expect I've missed an hour's worth of conversation. Cody, hi. Where are you? Cowboy. All right. I got it. I agree. Everyone needs to see that video. That is extraordinary. Yes, an impromptu live stream. Absolutely. Quite so. Caught everybody off guard. I was hoping to pick up some chocolate karamis yesterday, some red baddis, and another fish that they had in called a black tiger danio. And none of them came in. So, most disappointing. I was all set up to do a box opening, and when none of the stuff that I had anticipated came in, I gave up the notion. The hippocampus is a mythical creature that's half horse, half fish. There are fish called hippocampus. Richard is here, just walked in with his new car and his puppy. Not a chair. I almost messed that up. Isn't that nice? That is. Bring it over. I want to show it to you. I have a few antiques around here. This is a plant stand from the 1880s. It came out of a church that I served in that my father's. Thank you. So it's like 110 years older. So just one more of those things that I keep because it ties me to the earth, to my heritage, to my youth, to my family. See what else is going on here. How to set up a notification for your live stream. It does it automatically. If you set the time, it'll come up like half an hour early or something. Thank you. Somebody left that as a donation this morning. How are you doing this week? Are you able to get that $50 for the stand? If you can't, it's not a big deal. Oh, yeah, I think I do. Okay. I've also got two bags. The stand you bought, you mean? Oh, that stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Do you want two bags of black cow? Yeah, absolutely. Okay. Are you going over there? Huh? Are you going to go get it, or you haven't? Oh, okay. The black cow's in my truck. Okay, yeah, absolutely. I don't need it. I don't need it. Yeah, I do need it. Thank you. Okay. thanks richard richard is uh is my gopher he does all the heavy duty stuff that i can't do uh is just a good friend who's been involved here for as long as i've had this shop i guess uh he's a candy man and quite a good one they're real that's very high what is this hair right There, there's very high-quality work. Can I get it? I'm going to cut it off. But he's a good friend here, has some animals, so that's our connection. He brought me a bunch of bags of sand from a job he was doing that I just paid him for, and he's got a couple of bags of black cow that I need. Lacking in likes. What's lacking in likes? So we're lacking in likes. I'm not surprised. anybody who likes this is a little a little nuts 14 out of 17 that ain't too bad actually how to set up how to set up the stream ah gotcha well i'll tell you what i'm using uh stream yard streamyard.com it's very simple and easy to use and it'll get you right on it kind of walks you through the process so it's pretty easy streamyard.com doesn't cost anything um unless you want to get more heavily involved in in uh having more more people on it once and so forth go through set up schedule yeah yeah punchy knows how to do this she's been doing it longer than i have to the little camera thing on top of the channel it'll say live stream right yeah yeah i guess you can do it right in uh right in youtube i guess i did that for a while against the flow taking videos your tanks they could need to change your channel name against the flow well i don't know it's not bad i like against the flow um it depends how you treat it what you do with it and what your what your message is i certainly am against the flow in in much of what i do here why this very video is against the flow as it were against the flow is giggling must be a lady because guys don't giggle look at that silly ass hair 18 watching Cody's son thank you Cody's son we're going to be having a really interesting live stream tomorrow night at about 7 o'clock Jay Funk is going to be doing a program for the Venice Aquarium Society and we're going to try to do the whole thing live stream the whole club meeting it should be interesting it'll be a little rough but it should be fun I would keep it i like it against the flow i think it's cool it speaks to some condition or other and it gives you a certain a certain clout with uh with your message so be thinking about what your message is as to how your message goes against common wisdom perhaps or uh or uh popular wisdom and see if there's an angle there that you can focus on to be able to bring your personal message to the likes of all of us. PR needs to trim his beard. Yeah, me too. Why are they going with the flow? Well, there you go. There you go. Doobie-doo-doo. Great live stream. Punchy's giving directions to Caleb over here.
