40.413 - 54.314 William Montgomery

Yeah, Grant, oh my gosh, I discovered there was this random subreddit that came up on my Reddit. And by the way, I think I'm going to start deleting some of these, the subs, because I like Reddit, but then I start getting on just general news stuff, and I don't know.

0

54.614 - 67.273 William Montgomery

I just don't, I think I want no part of that, because I go in the comments, I upvote stuff, I downvote stuff, which is probably psycho in and of itself. I never say anything, but it's probably psycho just doing upvotes and downvotes. I don't know, maybe a little bit.

0

67.513 - 68.776 Unknown

I don't know. Or maybe not.

0

68.836 - 72.925 William Montgomery

Maybe it's fun. Maybe it's I'm engaging with the community and that's positive.

73.045 - 87.515 Grant

You're adding to the community in your own way. I feel like that's still engagement, even if you're not commenting all the time. Do you get on Reddit? I do. I actually just made it. Do you post stuff? I just made a subreddit for my little podcast thing I do.

87.956 - 90.84 William Montgomery

Oh my gosh, what's it called so people can follow it? What is it?

91.381 - 103.36 Grant

It's Hello Crawlers. We've talked about it a while back, but I talk about a book series called Dungeon Crawler Carl. Yes, yes, yes. And yeah, I made a little subreddit for it.

103.34 - 112.375 William Montgomery

Oh, that's exciting. When did you do that? Like last night? Like two days ago, three days ago. Yeah. Is that hard creating one? You just get on there and there's a place where you can just create one?

Chapter 2: What Reddit rabbit holes does William explore?

115.34 - 129.904 Grant

Yeah. It only took a few steps. And then once I had it up, I was like, I don't know what I'm doing with this. So I asked a couple of the listeners in the community if anyone might help out with moderating and a couple of people jumped on. I was like, oh, good. Oh, my gosh. You guys helped me out with that. So.

0

129.884 - 131.847 William Montgomery

Well, that's very exciting. I love it.

0

131.967 - 143.203 Grant

But yeah, I love Reddit for its good and its bad. I think it's just a crazy collection of interesting little sub-communities.

0

143.564 - 167.434 William Montgomery

I know. I love the different sub-communities. And one of them that came up, WinWonWalnuts. And the win one, I think, is the Chinese word and has something to do with just literally doing the walnuts in your hands. And Grant, I've got a couple of pairs of these things and I will sit for hours at a time doing them around in my hands because they feel good. It's like a hand massager kind of thing.

0

167.414 - 172.764 Grant

Oh, like like Chinese Chinese medicine balls. Is that what they're called?

173.164 - 181.339 William Montgomery

Yeah, it's probably something like that. Is that something? It's probably like that, but it's like a natural walnut. And I guess maybe there's different types of the walnuts.

181.471 - 199.415 Grant

I remember back in the 90s, late 90s, it was like this big thing that everywhere you'd go, they were selling those little silver balls that had like a little ringing, dingling thing. Oh, yeah, and you'd flip it around in your hand. Yeah, yeah. Is that essentially what you're doing with walnuts?

199.535 - 216.997 William Montgomery

Yes. Yes. It's like a texture thing. Yes. And you have to get a brush and you got to brush on them and they start developing this kind of dark red color because they start out as kind of a beige color. And then the more you handle it, all the sweat and oil in your hand gets on the things and you brush them.

217.097 - 237.591 William Montgomery

And Grant, I've been doing it for, I don't know, a couple of hours every day for the past two weeks for a couple of them. I love it. Like you're building up a patina on them? Exactly. See, that is the goal right there. That is what they could look like. Apparently, that's what it shows online. I don't know if that's a lie because you think that looks a little different. Why are you laughing?

Chapter 3: What are meditation walnuts and how are they used?

446.561 - 460.515 William Montgomery

And since that's what I've done, I don't like their opinion, even though maybe they're correct. But they keep on referencing somebody that you're supposed to get your walnuts from somebody from Beijing. Yeah. And somebody was like, oh, well, maybe I should just get a walnut tree and grow it at my house over here.

0

460.535 - 480.01 William Montgomery

And then somebody was like, oh, you'll never be able to do that because they cost so much money and it's impossible to get shavings of the trees because they block the trees off with fences and people with guns. And I'm like, what are y'all talking about? But I keep reading it and I keep doing them in my hand as I'm reading this shit. I'm thinking, how can I get over those fences?

0

480.07 - 485.744 William Montgomery

I got to get over to Beijing and somehow figure out how to take over one of these walnut farms.

0

486.125 - 488.771 Grant

I love it. I love what I'm learning today.

0

489.072 - 503.681 William Montgomery

Oh, my gosh. Well, Grant, I'm going to bring them next week. I'm weird that I didn't even bring them this week because I promise you they are the best feeling thing. And I wonder, apparently they've been doing it in China since the 18th century or something. And I never heard of this.

503.702 - 510.796 William Montgomery

You would have thought this would have already been some sort of fad in America or something by now, since everybody loves messing around with the fidget spinners and shit.

510.996 - 521.417 Grant

Right, right. But maybe there's less money to be made unless there's like some pet rock kind of markup on walnuts. Just, oh, these are meditation walnuts.

521.437 - 542.336 William Montgomery

Yes. Meditation walnuts. That's what they call them, I think. So that is kind of like a pet rock. Yeah. And I, on the website where I got them, there was, I got a couple of just these cheap, they weren't that much money, but I saw one on there that was like a thousand dollars. And I think, what? Yeah. Has some ancient master been using these for like centuries? I don't know.

542.636 - 560.402 William Montgomery

And then I get on eBay and I start looking on eBay. And sure enough, there's ones that are just so expensive. But it sounds like you got to be really careful because they can just put them in the rock tumblers and make them look like they're real old. So be careful if you're getting into wind one. Be careful. The stolen valor.

Chapter 4: What are the latest scary video games William discusses?

1676.682 - 1701.583 William Montgomery

And there's a lowest price guarantee. Our game time will credit you 110% of the difference. And Grant, you heard that correctly. 110% of the difference. And just look at this lady Gaga's coming. Okay. From $324. You've got to be kidding me. First off, I would have thought lady Gaga stuff, uh, It's more expensive. But look, you can go see Lady Gaga on March 8th, okay?

0

1701.723 - 1713.373 William Montgomery

That is going to be very exciting. George Strait, you know I'm getting those tickets from GameTime.co. Ariana Grande, Grant, I'm going to make a sign for that one. Are you going to make your sign?

0

1714.174 - 1715.435 Grant

Yeah, we got to have matching signs.

0

1715.455 - 1728.89 William Montgomery

Are we going to go together? And then, oh my gosh, third day is at the Moody's that are from $36. Yes, I'm getting that. I'm copying that from GameTime.co. Grant. And oh, maybe a little football.

0

1729.611 - 1733.319 Grant

Maybe a little bit of going to the pitch. Maybe a little bit of that.

1734.121 - 1758.356 William Montgomery

Oh my gosh. And Grant, we can drink there together. But see, this is where we have got to get the tickets. Okay. And you can also get zone deals. What? You can choose a section and like game time, choose your seat and then you get a little deal. Oh, that's nice. It's very nice.

1778.602 - 1784.992 Cole

I'm the same way. I can't wear a shirt that's not dark anywhere or else that's what happens to me. But it's normal.

1785.332 - 1809.695 William Montgomery

Yeah, I need to start wearing dark maybe because the light, the royal blue is like a nightmare on me today. Well, Cody, wonderful to talk to you. Oh, my gosh. And good luck with the wedding and everything. And I will look at the email. You're the man. You know, I appreciate it, sir. You have a great rest of your day. Yeah, for sure. You too, Cody.

1951.416 - 1960.225 Unknown

Hello? Do you hear us? Hello? Cole Fish. What's up, dude? No way.

0

1960.625 - 1982.698 William Montgomery

Oh my gosh. How are you? Dude, I'm doing pretty good. How are you? Oh, cool. Doing well. Just sweating like a motherfucker in their new chairs over here. And I'm, where are you? It looks like you're out in the country somewhere. Were you in Africa? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I just saw your truck at the beginning with like the wire on the back and I'm thinking, oh damn, where is his ass?

1983.238 - 1985.682 Unknown

Yeah, Africa. No, I'm in Nashville, dude.

1986.978 - 1997.582 William Montgomery

How is it over there? What are you doing in Nashville today? It looks like a nice day today. Yeah, it's a beautiful day. I'm landscaping, working. Oh, nice. I love it. That sounds good.

1997.683 - 2018.121 William Montgomery

My pussy at Coalfish, when I was living in Denver, Colorado, there was a tough point in time where I was kind of in between a bunch of jobs after I was washing dishes, after I got this big wart on my hand and I just had to leave the dishwashing pit. And I did the freaking, I did landscaping one day, Coalfish, and I just hadn't been working out a lot recently.

2018.141 - 2021.524 William Montgomery

And I ended up with these hard, it was basically, I was shoveling rocks.

Chapter 6: What are the details of the puzzle competition mentioned?

3673.886 - 3679.792 William Montgomery

That's totally, that's all above anything, any knowledge I would have, but I would, my guess would be no.

0

3679.812 - 3683.576 Unknown

Have you guys seen some of the people that get on here? Who would schedule these people?

0

3684.136 - 3698.831 William Montgomery

Right, right, right. For sure. Yes. There are certain people, man, there was some, I'm not going to say anything, but there was somebody last night that I was watching that it was the wildest story, most sickening stories I've ever heard out of somebody.

0
0

3699.352 - 3714.627 William Montgomery

And it seemed like he was doing really good. So I'm sure he'd see some more. But oh, my, my Lanta. It was an insane stuff I've never even thought about. And I don't want to think about, but I'm now thinking about it right now. Just horrible shit.

3714.607 - 3743.297 William Montgomery

this person was saying i was blown away by the sickening depravity of it all i can that's saying that's saying something coming from your ass yeah well it it is because it was unlike anything i'd ever heard before and it all sounded genuine and true which made it even more shocking uh so gosh uh hey uh i know i know you need to go but i wanted to ask you one thing yeah one more question

3744.307 - 3747.091 Unknown

So why are you a Florida Gators fan?

3748.192 - 3772.946 William Montgomery

Because on my father's side of the family, my grandparents, Francis and Grandpa, they grew up in – they lived in Gainesville. And on my grandmother's side, they were from Gainesville from, like, the late 1800s. And I had, I think, a great-grandfather who was a teacher at Florida. Yeah. So growing up, they would send Florida Gator stuff in the mail starting as a little boy.

3773.006 - 3798.535 William Montgomery

So as a little boy, I was totally groomed. And it's so funny because I grew up hating Tennessee because Tennessee and Florida are such bitter rivals, especially in the 90s and 2000s. I would say they were pretty bitter rivals. Right. So I grew up hating Tennessee, but then I got in-state tuition to go to Tennessee, and then I had just a wonderful time in Knoxville. So I totally am a Vols fan.
