What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Recorded live in Austin, Texas, USA. It's the William Montgomery Show. Starring William Montgomery. With the Tony Chin Orchestra. The William Montgomery Junior Dancers. This week, Rattlesnake Dave. A performance by the Great Gorbini. And a mysterious loaf of raisin bread. And now, here he is, the big red machine, the Memphis Strangler, 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. 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.
I don't know. Or maybe not.
Maybe it's fun. Maybe it's I'm engaging with the community and that's positive.
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.
Oh my gosh, what's it called so people can follow it? What is it?
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.
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?
It was remarkably easy. Oh, it was.
What Reddit rabbit holes does William explore?
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.
Well, that's very exciting. I love it.
But yeah, I love Reddit for its good and its bad. I think it's just a crazy collection of interesting little sub-communities.
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.
Oh, like like Chinese Chinese medicine balls. Is that what they're called?
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.
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?
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. 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? Because that is impossible.
No, this doesn't seem real. I have never heard of such a thing. Grant, that's why I'm hooked right now because my thought is if you literally can handle these walnuts and just brush them...
