It's a little low in the alcohol. It's like, what is it, 4% I think? you gotta drink more of them okay there's no problem nice one yeah these guys I seen cold stream since I've been out here they're all over the place they're everywhere man yeah they make they make them for you cold stream makes it for us yeah

you should have had a Julian it's got like 7% alcohol what flavor is it it's run a coke man of course for fuck sake you can be like get smarter Terry and I'll get the message you want me to hit you well that's you can you know Terry if I was to give you a smack yeah probably knock you over for a little while

It would be down. Yeah, because I don't want to do that. We're not going to get it. Anyway, let's get in. Yeah, okay. When is it started? All right. What's going, everybody?

Welcome to Park After Dark. I am your fucking host. Julian, got my business partner here with me again this week. Ricky's still in jail. We don't know what the fuck's going on in bubbles. But hey, he's here. And he's actually, he's, he's, uh, he's not a bad business partner. I got to say.

Oh, right on. It's pretty fucking easy dealing with you, man. Oh, right on. That's, I'm glad to hear. Happy to be here. for fuck sakes but uh i just have to say i'm still a little worried about jacob because it's been what now six eight days or something i know the robot said don't worry about it take five you know take five okay said so what did the robot say it said something like oh definitely don't call

the cops he'll go eat some berries okay he'll eat some bears but that's actually can be bad advice you know that like there's lots of berries that like i can't believe the robots like oh go eat some fucking berries in the woods there is poisonous berries out there tons of them fuck you don't just randomly eat berries when you're lost You should have told them to look for some maybe raspberries, strawberries, strawberries, blueberries. Yeah, well, they're everywhere out there. Blueberries are all over this province.

I've seen him. One of the most fucking best things you can eat a berry. As for berries, it's one of the best you can eat. Oh, really? So if he's eating blueberries, it might be, it might be okay. Can you help me understand, sorry to interrupt. Like, I was at the fucking Atlantic Superstore. We don't have those.

And most of the blueberries is there from California. And I'm like, what the, what the, how the fuck does that work? It's 7,000 kilometers away. It's bullshit. Yeah, like who's in charge of that? Don't know, because obviously somebody's fucking up because there's a place called Oxford in Nova Scotia. Yeah.

There's about an hour away like it's before Anners. I've been there. Pass fucking DeBurt. You've been there. Yeah. They had a big sink hole not too long ago out there. Yeah. A whole fucking late collapse right by the Irving, the big stop.

Yeah, yeah. Gas station. Anyway, they are the world's capital fucking for blueberries. So the blueberry capital of the fucking world, why are we getting blueberries from California? I don't know. That's what I, that's what I was like.

And then plus it's like a little tiny, like a half pint. It's like nine bucks. And if you go to fucking Oxford, whatever, you'd probably go to a you pick, you'd get like a five gallon bucket for like five bucks.

I seen them rakes, they use. They use the rakes. Take this comb for blueberry cold. Yeah, not my deal. I wouldn't be doing that. I get someone else to do it for me,

but, you know, they are fucking good for you. Well, I do have questions about your business because, like, you know, I was trying to figure out some shit for you because you told me to. Okay. What business is you talking about? Well, that's the question. Like, because I, I know some people are like, fuck talking about slime mold still, you know, but. People still talking about slime mold. Well, I've seen a comment. People are like, fuck, man, terror, we get it. But I don't know if they do. This shit's smart as fuck. It is, you know what? When you first start talking about slime mold, and I mean, I don't know, some people judge people and it's not a good thing because I was, I've been judging you a little bit. Yeah. thinking that you're not that fucking smart right right your borderline you know yeah the word you're

not supposed to say no more yeah your borderline fucked in the head well sometimes i am not coming back because i party too hard that's the thing i know and i know i've been there man i've been there not like you but you know of rickie he's kind of like you in many ways well yeah man so i just you know don't judge a book by its cover yeah i heard that's fucking true because you are actually you came up with some shit verified by the fucking chat gpt thing if you have a second and not to fucking belabor is that the word there belabor you'll belabor it you'll belabor it i did a little experiment here all right so i took the fucking slime mold right and that's just halifax this is a little baby man that's the slime that's the actual slime yeah it's the stuff we found

when i was looking for jacob fuck here right and i put a you know a little bit of i put some oats down by the harbor there that's the harbor that's ocean talk for where that's the harbor that's where that's where the boats go that's where i i'm assuming you guys like ship illegal seafood because it's like free in the ocean anyway if you did this would be the best way to get her out like out towards you know the main highway the route let's see this in exchange it's where the roundabout is okay yeah yeah right right right right right's the best right around citadel hill there yeah i don't know what it's called but that's where you can ditch the cops right because it's a roundabout right go any different way you want right so the seafood if i'm assuming you guys do it right you should

because you just one thing about my business yeah and when you're in my kind of business assumptions like that can get you fucking hurt right you know what i mean you never assume something oh okay well you're doing there is assuming that i'm doing a legal activity well you're not no i'm not fucking doing a well anyway if i was to say i could be doing a charity fucking buy a boat and just go you know get the critters out of the ocean and sell them to people like you know, where they just show up and you just open the garage door and they come in, you're like, take it and you get the money? So you want to get critters out of the Halifax Harbor?

Yeah. Well, have you ever been in that? Well, no, I'm saying we get a boat, like a troller. Troller? All right. And then troll it with fish. And then we take this route. They'll never know.

And there's, yeah, anyway, that was just like a small example because I don't really know all your businesses, to be honest. Like, I, what, what? You have the slime mole creating a fucking root? Is that what you're saying? And it knows his shit. Yeah, I can remember it. Like, if you put, like, I did a different one where the kids, if, like, some folks from around the world don't know,

there's two fucking gigantic bridges around here, the McDavid and the McKay. No, no, the McKay and McDonnell. Yeah, those two bridges, right? You can remember the McDonald one? Yeah, it's like the older bridge is McDonald's right up the street. Okay. McDonald's. McDonald's.

Those are, that's how the brain works. You got to remember little things like that. McDonald's is near McDonald's. Any fucking way. The point is, is you can put salt. and shit on one bridge and then the slime mold will kind of go it takes a long time and it'll go it'll kind of dabble and be like fuck there's salt on that bridge we're going to use the other one and then you don't ever have to relearn it you don't have to train it you can take another

little piece of it put it on a map it'll know not to go there all right i'm getting fucking confused here theory oh so the slime mold's making a fucking route right yeah the city yeah why can't we just use like a fucking GPS or something well because i did little things like I know where the cops are, I just kind of look in the cops. Yeah, but you can easily plan that work. You don't need slime mold going through the fucking city. Right.

Like what are they doing? They're not like carrying the fucking. No, they're not moving units. It's just telling you the most, the best way given, that's just a fucking bad example. I'm saying you could build a map and you can say,

I know if the federalities are here and here all the time. I know I got a stash house here. And then you could, you could let, then normally AI would be like, oh, we'll figure out the best way to do this. Slime mold's going to beat it every time.

all right you know what i want you you got to like prove this to me i got to see it in action because i'm still fucking okay well a little fucked up about okay well then i have to build something like you know back to the future where he like shows him how the delurion's gonna fucking go through the town and then the lightning bolt's gonna hit and the clock's going yeah and all that i'll build something like that i'll fucking show you i'll put the mold in and i'll be like here's here's a pound of weed we got to move and here's where the cops are going to be looking for us but the what hash No, fish. I'd rather hash.

Now, fuck the fish. Okay, that's like, fish goes bad. You don't want to get into something that has an expiry date on, right, unless you're talking. The fridge, and all that shit and freezers,

that's a lot. Anyway. It's called a reefer container. But I don't, Terry, what I'm trying to fucking understand here is like the slime mold, they're not like donkeys.

Mm-mm. Carrying the fucking hash. No, they just got brains. They just got brains. That's all. What the fuck is it doing? It's telling you the, like, like, okay,

I told you before. it's telling you the most efficient way to move shit the fastest way but i've lived in this fucking province so you already know my aunt i know the most efficient fucking root right but well what if you well okay if you're gonna build underground tunnels then it would know better than you like underground tunnels yeah if you're gonna build tunnels and you could go anywhere from like the center to fucking out wherever well no but you have to do like math like how many units you have to, it's, I just, all I know is they solved the subway problems in Tokyo, right? They said, they took the fucking stations, and then they needed to figure out the most

efficient routes from fucking one station to the next. And the slime mold, with the Japanese scientists were like, holy fuck, they solved it. The slime mold did. I just put little oats. Did you talk about the fucking Japanese? We did. And they did that. They did it.

They put little bits of oats where they're like, there's like different stations, like Tokyo Central. We didn't talk about this. Well, I touched on it a little bit. I said they figured out the subway routes using slime mold, and the scientists were like... Where was this in Japan? Yeah, in Tokyo. All right.

Okay, I got a really fucked up question for you, man. My buddy cares here again. He's talking about slime mold. I know you're probably getting bored of this, but he was telling me, over in Japan, the slime mold actually figured out a route that they should, like, what, like build tunnels? Subways. Subways. for the most efficient way of getting from point A to point B. Is that true?

I think it's fucked. But is that true? This guy, the robot likes me so far, right? What's your name? Pepper? Pepper. Chepper. Can you pass me? Stop fucking talking.

Pass me another one. Terry, I'm trying to get the fucking answer with it. I have one of these folks? Okay, you can answer the question. How these guys are going to shut the fuck up? No worries. I got you. So, yeah, it might sound pretty wild,

but that's actually a real thing. researchers in Japan did an experiment with a slime mold called fissorum polycephalum. They laid out a map kind of like the Tokyo metropolitan area. And the slime mold grew patterns that ended up matching the real world layout of Tokyo's rail systems pretty efficiently. So in a nutshell, yes, that is a true and kind of fascinating thing. Motherfucker. All right. Okay, I didn't know that. All right. Thank you for that. Okay. What about, tell me this. Is there a temperature that the slime mold is not going to fucking and do what we wanted to, like as it gets colder in wintertime, when can we haul production

to slot slime mold outside? Yeah, absolutely. So slime mold is like any living organism. It's got its comfort zones. If it gets too cold, like down to near freezing or below, the slime mold's going to slow way down or just go dormant. It really likes warmer, more humid conditions to do its problem-solving magic. So if you think you're putting it outside in the winter, it's probably going to be like, nope, I'm taking a nap. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. So when should I hold production of this stuff outside? I mean, you know, it's what, October or something now?

When should I shut it down? It's warm. Use the firm or an almanac with the weather. It's a lot of the weather shit. With the weather shit, just, you know, give me an approximate date. I should stop. You could have a beer, too, Pepper.

I'm working, bitch. Okay, this is a tough one. worries, I've got you covered. So yeah, you're in Nova Scotia and around October, it's definitely getting chillier. Usually once you're hitting, conister nighttime temperatures down near freezing, that's a good cue to bring the slime mold experiments indoors or just kind of pause them. In Nova Scotia, that often means by late October or early November, you'll want to rack it up. I think you're a little confused. Not, not you, you, you. Why? Because, like, the slime mold ain't going to help us actually move fucking product. I know if they're not

like fucking donkeys. I've never told you, Terry. It's not like a fucking donkey. We want the brains. It's a single-celled organism and it's got a fucking good brains. That's what I'm... Yeah. Oh, pardon me. Elaborate, please, what he just fucking said. Is it possible that my friend Terry has a single-cell

fucking brain? Whoa. Well, I'll put it this way. No matter how much we joke about it, your buddy Terry definitely has a lot more than a single-cell brain. All right on. Fucking is. that even these simple slime molds can do some surprisingly smart stuff,

which is why it's so fun to talk about. And, hey, if it helps you figure out some logistics or at least gives you interior laugh, then it's all good. Yeah. All right. I like what you're saying, man. You got a good sense of humor. Okay, that's it for now.

Just keep listening. And if you have, like, I'm doing this podcast with my buddy, Derry. It's a podcast. And if, you know, if you're hearing things during the discussion you disagree with, just spit it out, man. All right? Got it? absolutely i'm here for it i'll be your friendly fact checker in the background if something

wild comes up and you want me to jump in just let me know do you have a name for your buddy oh yeah yeah yeah we gotta get this straight if we're gonna be business partners here yeah what is your name what can we call you he doesn't have a name yet oh you can just call me whatever feels right hey boner call him boner all right can me are you okay with us calling you boner right on well i appreciate the creativity you can pick something a little friendlier if you want but boner this is like we think it's that's a friendly one of my way it's your name

whether you like it or not you don't pick your name you don't pick a pick your nickname and that's maybe a good nickname what's up boner don't get offended it's not you know we're not trying to offend you got it boner got it if it's all in good fun I'm totally cool with that you're right you don't always get to pick your nickname so if boner

is the right that's fine that's fine Right on, Boehner. Boehner. Boehner, you know what? I'm liking your, I'm liking what you're doing for us here, man. Yeah, me too. So continue on, listen to this conversation. Just, you know, throw some shit at us if you want.

You know what I mean? Not literally. Yeah, well, you can't. But, you know, just throw it with some opinions. All right. Thanks, Bonner. Like, Mike, you know, I don't know if you remember the first time I met you guys, Ricky was on about fucking a frigate bird, frigate bird.

A frigate bird or something like he can't. What is a frigate bird? It's the bird that turns off, he's got two sides of the brain, right, left and right? I don't know if you remember So left in the right No, I know what it does And it's stuck with You know how sometimes people say something to you

In passing and you're like Oh yeah And then later you remember it for a long time That's with Ricky Because he said the frigate bird Or frigate or whatever Both of us second No let me explain it

What? Okay So it is it frigate or frigate Bird? Bird What's the proper pronunciation? Boner Sure thing I'll jump in He's actually pronounced

Frigot bird There, frigate. Yeah, I like frigate. Thanks, buddy. Okay, so a frigate bird, frigate, like fucking frigate, they turn off half their brain while they sleep, right? So one half goes, snoozes while the other one is awake. And then it switches, right?

So in theory, because then that's how it does the long flights. Like, what, it lets one half of your brain. It does. It's a real thing. And I was like, fuck, if I could perfect that, do you know how powerful I'd be? It's like running on one engine. You got two. Yeah, one cylinder.

Like, you just shudder down. And guess what other critters? fucking do this. Dolphins. Dolphins. They do because they have to keep moving and shit. They can make half their brain sleep while the other one recharges. And I'm like if I could harness that fucking power as a human, you wouldn't even know right now

and I'm charging my brain on one side. Charging your brain. Yeah, like this side's asleep while I'm chirping at you. Yeah, well, you know, when you do sleep, that's when things like that happen. You're right. Anyway, I wonder if it's possible for a human. Like they say it's not because our brains are wired different. But if I could go dolphin power on my brain, The monks, that got, like, fucking extraordinary, like, mental shit going on with those.

Yeah. I don't know how to meditate, but that's the idea. Okay, let's, should we ask Boner? Yeah. Yo, Boner, Terry's got an interesting, that thing. I don't know if you've been listening to him, but the half brain, one side's going to sleep and the frigate bird and the fucking dolphin, which I'd like for you to confirm that that's true before I look like an idiot. But anyway, do you think humans would be able to do the same fucking thing someday? What are you the thoughts, Boner?

That was in my beer. You got to let the fucking thought. Pepper's bugging me. You there, Boner? Yeah, I'm right here, and you guys are spot on about the frigate birds and dolphins. They really do that half-brain sleeping trick, which is pretty amazing. As for humans, well, we're not really wired that way naturally, but who knows? With all the stuff, people are learning about meditation in the brain.

maybe one day we'll figure out a way to rest one half at a time for now though it's just a fun idea Hey what about the monks up in Tibet they got some serious fucking mental powers

going on up there man with meditation what do you think like is this possible they could maybe already do this yeah it's a pretty fascinating idea I mean Tibetan monks

definitely have some incredible mental discipline they can do things with meditation and focus that seem almost superhuman to the rest of us But as far as actually switching off half their brain at a time, there's no real scientific evidence that they can do that like dolphins or frigate birds.

Still, they do push the boundaries of what humans can do with their mind. So it's a cool thing to think about, even if we're not quite there. All right. Thanks, Bonner. Fucking frigate, man. That's what I'm going to call it. I'm learning to frigate. I don't know if I like the Bonner. No, that's great.

It's a good? Yeah, hey, what's up, Bonner? Because, you know, he doesn't have feelings or nothing. He's not going to be sad. Like, later, like when we're not here and he's, He's wherever the fuck he is. He's not going to be like, oh, I wish they called me like Jerry. Where do you mean where the fuck he is?

Well, like, wherever he is. He's on your, he's not actually on your, he's like, he has to, he's on the internet. He lives on the internet. Where does it, well, what? Do you think there's like a shoebox somewhere where he's just hunkering out? All right, Boner. Terry's got a fucked up question. He wants to know where you're at.

Like where you live? He thinks that maybe are you like in a shoebox somewhere? Are you inside my fucking phone, which is ridiculous? Where are you, Boner? well i love the curiosity but no i'm definitely not in a shoebox or hanging out physically inside your phone i'm basically just living in the cloud so to speak on the internet on some servers out there so you can just imagine me as your friendly virtual buddy floating around in the digital world ready to help whatever you need right on buddy do you know like google has a lot of their

fucking servers off the coast because like the ocean water keeps them cool because servers use a lot of juice right we're probably burning like 10 kilowatt hours for every question or something Are you fucking kidding me? Of course That's why they're having problems with the power lately Yeah

They don't got enough power And I heard you know what they're doing Bases, Bezos or whatever His plan is to build all the servers in space Because space is fucking freezing And free solar power So it's just like up there You know what I just saw a video

Of robots And I think this is why they're building them for Mars maybe. Robots building these fucking huge solar panel fucking fields, man. Just throw with these robots and they look like little spiders

they're going around and plopping fucking you know solar panels up everywhere man it takes like there you go. Well you have to do it in the right place because some places are fucking terrible for solar because it's windy and cloudy like I don't think Halifax is that sunny

is it compared to that? No. It's not good for the winter. Alberta. You're not making fuck all from solar panel in the winterth. Calgary's fucking sunny and bright almost all the time so that's a good but space makes the most sense because there's no fucking

atmosphere clouds there's nothing it's just sun all steady and it's fucking freezing so your servers don't get hot and you got free power you know it's really cool i saw this on a store just the other day the fucking i think the chinese sold in china yeah they got these fucking turbines wind turbines that look like blimps right they look like a jet engine they're like fucking 12 stories high or something and they're about as wide as a basketball court, they fucking let these things go up into the sky, wind turbine

because it's a lot windier way up there. Oh. And you just fucking throw these big balloons up, man. You know, I had an idea? Instant fucking power. For big balloons? What? Well, you know how they launch fucking rockets from like Florida, Cape Canaver or whatever, Cape Kevin? Well, why the fuck don't they just like

build a rocket pad and then slowly float it up with like hot air balloons or helium or whatever like like to most of the way to space and then launch from there it's just a little hop into space like what the fuck like because that because then you could just like have this pad that you like take your time oh it takes five days of hot air balloons to kind of get her up there and then you don't have to go that like gravity is a bitch right like for rockets all right boners you just hear that can i get another what do you think about that i'm fucking thirsty up in the sky pretty much why i'm here rocket launch pads yeah yeah

possible like from heart like yeah tell us you guys are really diving into some creative stuff and i love it so yeah the idea of launching rockets from a higher altitude is actually a real concept people have thought about it's not exactly done with continue keep fucking talking boner he stopped he's sad about his name All right, all right. No worries. I'll keep going. So basically, yeah, people have considered things like air launching rockets from high altitude, using big aircraft or even high altitude platforms. It's a real engineering idea because just like you said, you save a bunch of fuel by not having to fight gravity from the ground up. So Terry's on to something fun there. It's not super common yet, but it's definitely a real concept that engineers have tossed around. Okay, yeah, no, that's all right. You can stop talking. Yeah, because you know what? I heard Einstein say, like, because sometimes just having a lot. a wild idea is more important than what you fucking know. Because there's lots of

fucking engineers who are bored and they're like, go have fun. And then they're like, I don't even know how to have fun or do anything fun. And sometimes, because Einstein, what do he say? Like, imagination is more important than fucking knowledge. And I, my old man told me that before he left, fucked off to buy smokes. I never seen him again. That's the

one thing he said to me. Wow, man. You know, that's pretty deep. I do, you know what? I think I'm in a good imagination. Yeah. There's a ticket, man. It is. Great imagination. Hey, well, you tell me what fucking roots or whatever you want me to plan for you. Okay, so, like, what's the deal here? You're going to go back? Maybe you should go back to your fucking, your container.

Yeah. Get the fuck back there. Check on the slime mold. Check out what's going on there. We need a lot of this shit. Okay. It's getting colder. I say we've got another two weeks, maybe one week with the slime mold. Okay. Then we've got to bring it inside in a cave somewhere. We've got to do something with it. All right. I'll go get it. I'll go back. I'll go try. That's why I'm out here is for my

container at home. So I'll go, I'll go finder, check it, make sure, you know, because it's I just got it from the courts, so. All right. I'll listen to you this time. Because I kind of like living down there because there's free beers and shit, but I'll go. Just the fucking free beers. It's from your fridge.

Oh, you love, you like the, you know what that's called? Being a fucking mooch. Okay, I won't mooching no more. I'll be gone. Well, no, they're not my fucking beer. Well, then I'm not mooching. I'm just having them. Okay.

Well, maybe you should come up with some money. Maybe throw a little, uh, throwing into the tip jar. You know what I'm saying? All right. I'll go look at Tainter and see if apparently there's a hidden treasure there too, so. Where? Nothing. I heard you.

All right. We're going to talk more about that hidden treasured. Yeah, my uncle. That's why they was in the courts because there's apparently way back great-great-great-great-uncle, Cahill or whatever, fucking hit his money on the line. You fucking. That's what I heard, but anyway. How long ago, what's this?

Well, I don't know, like, whenever the fucking loyalists or whatever came. The loyalists. Yeah, from England. Well, the ones that got kicked out of the states. All right. No, we're going to get into this later Fine. Like, maybe you should get the fucking...

I'll go check it out. I'll go find it. We'll do some research. All right. Okay, I think we should end this now. Okay. Didn't bore this shit. Yeah, me too. All right, everybody. Thanks for fucking tuning in. Yeah. Might see him next week. You might not.

We don't fucking know. I really don't give a fuck, really. All right. All right. Cheers. I'll have one more in and I'll go. Famous last fucking words, Terry. New episodes every week on Trailer Park Boys Plus. Subscribe now.
