ScubaRadio 9-5-26 HOUR1

0:00So hello there, don't be alarmed, we're just preparing your listening device for scuba radio. The world's first radio should have ordered to diving. We do this of course by filling your radio with water. Don't worry, we're professions. Thanks to me, you won't even get wet. You see, I've crammed every appendicit by body into the cracks and crevices of your radio. I'm sure you're doing well. By the way, don't touch your odd off-nob, that's a very sensitive area. Anyway, I should remind you we believe in the body system just like diving, so don't listen alone. Call your body and tell them that scuba radio is about to begin. We're gonna start a new life under the sea. So am I gonna drown? Course not, just stay calm and let the gentle currents relax your every muscle. Under the sea, under the sea. Did you just get warmer? There'll be no accusations, just van League crustaceans under the sea. Where the hell are the sharks?

1:01And now, here's your dive guide for scuba radio, Greg the dive master. And welcome, this is the world's first radio show devoted to diving. I am Greg the dive master and look, what a day. What a day. What a day to be back in the studio after hanging with my friends at Embarbetos. For the first time, I got to dive there and just have an amazing time. And I gotta tell you, it was pretty impressive. It was something, it outperformed my expectations. Let me put it that way. Well, we saw Kenny's videos, of course, but nothing from you. Well, that was the whole point Kenny, that's why Kenny came and is to cover that base. And he did a good job. He did spotlight the fact that I had an equipment malfunction, by the way. You see that? Yeah, I did see that. You did. But that wasn't your fault. I mean, that happens.

2:01It happens. He used the fact that I had a leak in my pressure gauge, a coupling. And I had little bubbles. I had little tiny bubbles coming out of that. And he filmed it while I was writing the largest underwater DPV on the planet, which was an Atlanta submarine. And that was quite a thing. And that video has went viral, by the way. You've seen that, obviously, the clip on it. It went viral, huh? Yeah. What is technically viral? How many? Well, you watch it and then you need a shot or something. I don't know. But you need a shot or anointment or something after. I think. Yeah. Once you watch it, it's viral. Oh, you're trying to make a joke. Sorry. No, no joke. It's funny, so I didn't catch it right. All right. Yeah. Well, any who, suck at loser, I was in Barbados and you weren't. So now you're a little jelly, aren't you?

3:03I don't use that word because I'm a man. Oh, is that what you call it? Okay. All right. The scuba radio scuba squad is connected via the web, unlike Cock Johnson here in the studio with me. We got Jerry, the diver guy, the buddy. I'm both. Oh, yeah, that's true. You're in cysts. I go on zoom now. Well, that's, well, nobody sees that except you and the scuba radio scuba squad. That's for them. They wanted to see you. They had a request like, hey, we can't see Cock Johnson. We want more Cock Johnson. Wow. And that meant mostly came from Jerry. I see we're shaking our heads. No. In case you did tobacco nut and bury the bugger. Bury are you sunburned? What's going on? No, I'm going through that skin cancer treatment. Yes. Let this be a lesson. Goodness. Let's use this as a life lesson. It hurts. Use sunscreen because they'll bury the bugger. They didn't have sunscreen 40 years ago.

4:05Well, they had it. You just didn't use it. No, they use it. Everyone puts suntan oil back then back in the 60s. That's all you did. You put oil on. No, you had that white goo. They had it for someone to go collection. You got to be dark skinned to even handle that like Italian. Yeah. You're back in the day. The first sunscreen was mud. No, they used zinc oxide on their nose. That's what all the right like guards put on. But you did not. That would help too. No, I did not. Yes. I'm just using Hawaiian tropic dark pan. No, there you go. No one, no one listening right now. Don't listen to Jerry. Why? Why? Is he been drinking? No, don't. He just said Hawaiian tropic. I'm like, do not. What? What's wrong? You're fricking burn with Hawaiian tropic. Yeah. Why? It's sunscreen. They make sunscreen about oil though, I thought. More oil. Let's say the dark oil. Yeah.

5:06So he wants more oil. And I don't think that has anything to do with sunscreen. Is there a green blanket somewhere? Probably. No. Yeah. Luckily I did go diving just before I started the treatment. Ah, you went diving, did you? Before you diving. So, and then you look like you got, you put your face in a cheese grater. Okay. So before you did that and put your, you know, your skin cancer issues. I went, I went. Yeah. I went off the aqua view and we did two dives. I, I do with a family that lives in Orlando. Ah. Tony, I believe is the father. Hopefully these are fathers and sons because the two other ones look younger. Tony Jude and Noah. Yeah. And he was so competent with his kids diving that we kind of separated, but he knew the kids wouldn't make it back and they did. Actually, they made it back before we did. And they are experienced lobster hunters.

6:07So they knew what to look for and we did not see one lobster on either dive. We did the aqua zoo sea emperor wreck. Yeah. We found nothing. We did go lobster antenna laying on the motion floor and nothing. They said they saw antennas. I didn't even see that. But, um, there was a nurse shark. There was a nurse shark. This is what, wait a minute. Just a backup. In this like the second or third time you've went lobster hunting already, Barry. Uh, this is the second and you got a second time. Second time. No. The first time I caught a lobster that came home and I had lobster dinner with that. Mm hmm. This one I was by public. No. This one I was hoping to catch more lobster. There was not one out there. Um, so at this point, my plan is to go off Hollywood beach. Yeah. And do it the old fashioned way, which is just, you know, put it out to the reef there because I think that's where I'll find them. You think you're going to go on a beach dive and you're going to find lobsters.

7:08Yeah. Just off a beach when you, what? Because you'll be off the beaten path and as opposed to like a popular site. Yeah, because you're not going to have boats going out there. You're only going to have the true divers that are willing to put on their gear and walk all the way out in through the sand. You don't get to carry your gear out. I don't need that anymore. I'm strong again. It's melancholy. Maybe. No. No, Jerry, the dire, my back healed itself. Oh, it did. It took a few years, but I'm happy with it. Okay. Hey, you know, my friend had back surgery. Uh-huh. And after I saw what they did to his back, I don't want to have that done. So I'm happy it's working again. Okay. So we don't need to call some like female to help you with your gear. So you're saying now you can bend over. Hey, now I will. And Barry without paid. Jerry just said he's going to need more oil. That's Jerry's problem. I'm trying to.

8:09Oh, well, he's breaking himself. She knows. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down there. Cowboys calls her Sheila. Oh, bear, Jerry's there. He's getting all round. Get an old. I don't know what the hell is going on here. Yeah. Okay. So you're going to go out solo or you're going to take a, uh, some of a buddy out with your Barry. No, I have no one I can go with. So I'll go by myself. I don't have a problem going off the beach. I know. I was thinking I was asking Jerry about taking the, um, what are they called solo diver? Of course, Self-reliant diver. Now I'll tell you what, some boats don't even want to hear about that. Yeah. So I was on the aqua. They specifically said, uh, we're not doing any solo diving here. Don't be a hero. Okay. Well, yeah. But on the beach, I can do that. Yeah. Well, I mean, there's no one to keep you from doing it. I guess. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah. Look, something can happen whether I'm with someone or not.

9:10Yeah. Well, Jerry would probably come down and dive with you. Wouldn't you, Jerry? I was trying to get, you know, I took the boat out. If I can get free, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, it'll cost a problem. It'll cost you. No, because CJ and Jerry were supposed to come down. I even took the boat out and tested it out in the Everglades to make sure it was ready to rock and roll for them. Yeah. Went out the Everglades to make sure you could find out where the alligators are so he could feed you to them. There were no alligators. No, alligators. We're still going. All right. Well, he's not afraid of the alligators. Uh, Jerry, I don't know what about you, CK. Yeah. No gators for you. But lobsters are on the agenda. All right.

12:15Prepare to rig for die! Your surface interval is complete. You are now clear to die with scuba radio. Scuba radio. The world's first radio show devoted to diving. Scuba radio. Die, die, die. Hi, I'm John from the Emerit Island, with a special memory just for you. I wish custom-gassy. To some, he's a scuba newscaster. To his wife, he's a stud. Just ask her. Oh, sorry about the sound of the pics. Oh, forget it Irish. He has a dive show called Scuba Radio. Why nooky song bitch? Greg, the dive master. My world Irish rose. This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving. And I am Greg the dive master. Well known in Ireland, at least for that one guy. So, you know, and he rode a limb rick for me. You know, I've been getting around lately. And by that, I mean traveling.

13:17Just because I'm looking over at John's and he's loaded. He's locked and loaded right now and thinking, hey, I want to say something that I've got to watch. I'm a poker face man. You do nailed me. It's like nipped that one into, but I was going to say you're a dirty horse. Yeah, it's okay. There it is. There it is. And that's just not true. It's going to do as it were. Yeah, it's just not not true. That's not accurate. I'm not dirty at all. Anywho. I have been traveling quite a bit. I just got back from Barbados. I'm just over a week away from going to Bonair for a week. And then the bees out. Yeah, getting the bees. And then I'm off to Indonesia. I mean, I got stuff like stacked up right now. Yeah. And I'll tell you, it's been a challenge. You know, I don't mean to bitch, but I'm gonna. Yeah, plenty of time. No, I don't. Yes.

14:17I mean, you know, I got there to Barbados gear performed flawlessly with the exception of I had this little air pressure or a gauge. And at the swivel where it connects to the thing, I had a small little pin pin hole. It was it was basically Kenny pointed out on his video. It's we were affecting you reading it all. No, what do you mean reading showing pressure off or no, no, it's ill accurate. No, it was just little, you know, bubbles were coming from it. I did. So it's so small. Yeah, so small. It doesn't affect anything as far as air consumption or anything like that. It just like it's, you know, it's the kind of thing like a look. I'm from Greg from scuba radio. I can't have this happen. I mean, I got a reputation to live down to. And maybe so you're saying it hurt your ego. No, it didn't hurt my ego. It's just like that gone it. There's something else I got to fix. Oh, language. Yes. That's why it's called on air spool, by the way.

15:18Well, yeah, the little name for it. Well, okay. And it was the air, the O ring on the air spool obviously has failed to assert a set cracked O ring. Yeah. And unfortunately, it was a cheapy. And I don't see any way to fix it. Well, Kenny, Kenny had on his video. Didn't look like a little metal. Yeah, but you got to be able to take the, you got to be able to take the pressure gauge out of the housing. And it's just a cheapy little mini gauge. It just has molded plastic around it. So I don't, I don't even think I can get it out of there. It's easy. Wait, was this one? It's easy fix if you can get to it, but I can't get it. Get to it. I didn't get to it. How there's nothing there you're going to break just pull the dang freaking thing apart. It's all molded though. It's molded plastic. He doesn't even have to do that. He goes to the corner of his little studio, dig through some of his equipment and find a redundant system. I'm sure. Well, that's what I did.

16:19I have too much crap. But, but here's the thing. It was a, it was a, it was a cheapy pressure gauge. Uh, Jerry. So I would prefer just to fix the o-ring, but it's just molded plastic around this mini, mini pressure gauge. You'd have to break the plastic. Plastic. It's like, uh, I don't know. I don't even know. But, but it's molded plastic. It's not like the rubber stuff that you could like, you know, squeeze the, uh, like heat the rubber and then, you know, push the gauge up through it. It's literally molded to this gauge. It was a cheapy, like $60 mini gauge because I basically just have it. Case-eating tetra is a cheapy gauge. Yes. It's a cheapy gauge back up to my- It's really a cheapy gauge. It's very cheap. Technically cheap. Yeah. Yeah. You think Greg that die master slash instructor would have the best equipment? Well, I typically do. I just have this is every redundant, uh, air supply thing.

17:19So I could have it. I used to have, just say, you know, I used to have one of these little mini air pressure things that I could literally screw right into the first stage port. And so when I'm setting up my gear, I can, uh, you know, you know, I have it on my, uh, share of water tarot. I can, it monitors, uh, air pressure. I have my transmitter on there and everything else. I have a analog air pressure gauge that I could screw right into the, uh, first stage regulator. And I could look at it when I'm setting up and it's a, okay, you're in the green. So it just kind of reaffirms it what my computer's saying. And it's a backup. The problem with that is streamlined and, uh, efficient as that is, the downside is when I'm diving. I can't see it. So if, if my dive computer were to fail and usually I'm diving to of them, by the way, so it'd be my third backup. I can't, I couldn't read that analog gate. So I said, well, I'll just buy a cheapy, uh, SPG and, uh, and just clip that to my B.C.

18:23And then I'll have that as backup. And that is what I had bought a couple of years ago. And of course, I went to cheap route and, uh, the over and cracked or failed or whatever. And it just, I had just little pinhole bubble stream coming from my, my gauge. So I would, I would like to fix it. Jerry, I did, I looked at it. No, because it's so cheap, it's just like this cheap crappy plastic that's molded right to the gauge. It's like, it's like probably the cheapest, uh, you know, air pressure gauge you can buy. Uh, like maybe, I think I've seen them online for like 65, 70 bucks maybe, which is, that's pretty cheap. So, you know, so I just went back to my stash like Casey said and said, okay, I'll just to pull something from my own stash. Now I'm going to have, I'm, I'm going to go to one air with probably three dive computers because the one I went to has a pressure gauge, but on the flip side it has another dive computer. I should go with four.

19:24No, one on each wrist and one on each ankle. It does have a, an analog, uh, compass on it. I'll have it back. I'm going to want to make this. No, I will not do that with a little thing. You can pull out and look at it. No, speak, speak in a bon air, Greg. Yeah. My, our good friends at reef smart, see some bon air. Oh, they got the reef guides. They said it. So we take them over there and compare. All right. That sounds good. Yeah, they, they got a whole agenda set for us to dive different parts of the island. Uh, over a week time. And yeah, Jared, the diver guys going, uh, we got the scuba cowboys coming back. I'm getting the band back together. I got Jerry, uh, scuba cowboy scuba magician will be there. Uh, Barry won't be, Casey won't be in, and neither will CJ. So once again, they will have, have to suck it. No, I was clear. It's your guy. I wanted to know quality. Yeah.

20:25Getting back in the pool. Uh, I have my doctor's, uh, signed off like, get back. Get back in the water. Okay. All right, Casey has, uh, he's been given notice, but he still, he'll still have to suck it on this one along with Barry and CJ. But then maybe shortly after it'll redeem himself. Far more coming up.

22:28Dive, dive, dive. Hi, this is Scuba Steve from Australia. When I'm not wrangling koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles and snakes, I listen to Scuba Radio. The world's first radio show devoted to diving. I dove with sharks and sailed with a friend. I'm going to go back again and again. I was living it up down under. Now here's my close first of friend. I was living it up. Greg the dive bastard. Down under there. I'll say, Greg the dive master. Baza. Sorry about that. Yeah, okay. Whatever. This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving. I am Greg the dive master. Traveling fool is what they've been calling me lately. Just went to Barbados. Nobody calls you that. Oh, yeah, I do. I count for something.

23:29And CJ's in the studio with me very jelly. Oh my God. And just got you know, and one thing, by the way, Barbados, if you did not hear the show last week, I highly encourage you to go back and listen. We had a blast. Kenny from Sweetwater Scuba was there. We had a mermaid, Kristen. She did mermaid underwater shoot and stuff there on some of the wrecks and things. We got some amazing footage that is going to come out probably through Kenny's Sweetwater Scuba page. We won't see it through you. Yeah. I was shooting video and something was messed up on my setting. So I don't know what I got. I did try some new gear though. Actually, we're going to talk to a friend of mine from the keys who hooked me up with one of these new Kahoo, a Kahoo microfiber towels. And I will talk about it later, but it was way more comfortable and user friendly than I even expected it to be. A towel? Yeah.

24:30Like what? A towel? How does that help? Drives you off. But it actually doubled in for several different things, not just a towel, but like a hoodie that acted as something to shield myself from the sun. I ended up loving this. I was like, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Excuse me? No. That would be a one and a half. What's up with me? You had to use that. No, I did not say that. You had an emergency. You're a liar. I know you. But anyway, you didn't say not to say anything. So that's why I felt like I could share it. Yeah. Damn you. Anyhow. Also, make sure. What? Always order the brown one. No, that's not asked here. Pro tip from Mike the Dinesh faster. Right. Yeah, that is incorrect. But we'll talk more about that in hour two. I will say also, you know, Barbados has five, I believe it's five different rum distilleries on the island. First Mount K, but they have a plant array, which was formerly plantation rum with very

25:35popular distillery. And what was the L4 square? Those three right there are like world-renowned rum distilleries. And they're all on the island of Barbados. They have a couple others that are rated quite well as well. But those three I just mentioned, everybody kind of knows them if you're in the rum world. As funny as the name is, Mount K is good rum. Very good rum. And I haven't gotten my bottle yet. Greg. Well, you know, here's what I was going to do. Casey, because seriously, on the way out of Barbados, we're at the airport. And, you know, honestly, that's one of the best places to pick up your bottle of rum, souvenir rum on your way back to the States. And I was going to do that. I found a bottle of 25 year old Mount K, that I was like, oh, man, this looks really awesome. And I was reading all the information, talking to the rum lady there at the duty free bar. And I was like, this would be a really great bottle of rum to bring back and share with the scuba radio scuba squad. And then I looked at the price tag and I'm like, nope.

26:38You know, I had a I had a ball of Mount Gay Walt D Martini special. Yeah. I had one of those two. I got one here in the studio. It was give to a certain dive master to give to me and it magically evaporated and it just evaporated. It disappeared. I never did get it. Gotta keep them corked. Yeah. If you don't cork them, uh, corked it to begin with. I don't know what he's talking. Do you have any? Yeah. I think he's saying that you drank his rum. Wrong. Yeah. Okay. Anyhoo. Please say that. I want that audio. Another reason. Yeah. Have another reason to go back to Barbados, not just for the diving, but for the rum. And I mean, you talk about a great experience both below a top side. You got to sample some while you were there at least. Yeah.

27:38Absolutely. Yeah. The Hilton Barbados property that we're staying on that was very historic. It's a brother home in your belly. Well, I did have some. Yeah, but but they have actually a rum, especially rum bar right there at the hotel. Nice. Right. Just passed the checkout counter and it's like all the furniture is made out of rum barrels. Really cool atmosphere. Uh, but they had like all the famous rumps sharing your pictures of that cool looking bar that we've never seen. Yeah. Well, you'll see them eventually. We talked about it and we shared that we actually had a rum tasting on the show last week. You didn't hear that. Did you? No, I meant because you were as we say in the biz, jelly. Nobody says that. But you and you say it. You say it all the time. You. You say it. Nobody out of middle school. You say you said every night you go to sleep. It's how you fall asleep. Jelly, jelly, jelly. You do.

28:38Don't you admit it. I see it. I'm reading your expression right now again. You can't hide it. You're so full of crap. I can smell it from here. Okay. No, that's the rum. Uh, but anyway, that 25 year old bottle of malgay or aged for 25 years, I was very tempted to pick it up and I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't because I knew I could say I would was buying it for the scuba radio scuba squad. But then before they kind of a chance to have a sip of it, it would magically evaporate. I might get a shot at it. Just like Jerry's milk cake. I'm actually here in the studio. You might. I probably would have given you some. I might have had a shot at it. And then you can make everybody else on the couch. Jelly. Right. See? It's part of your vernacular. I'm making fun of you. Yeah. Uh, any who. It was great. And then the diving was, uh, was just awesome. That wrecked diving. That's what I want to hear about. Well, you know, once again, I spoke about it quite a bit last week, but that one wrecked

29:38dive they have. It's the most popular, you know, dive site on the entire island in Barbados, but they literally have seven wrecks all right up next to each other. Like, you know, and, and, you know, like there might be. And they were terrible captains back in the ditch. They tell me about it. No, there it was, there was probably about 50 to 100 yards between wrecks. So you'd have a small little, you know, swim across to sand. Were they sunk by like cannonballs or? No, they were. I'm pretty sure they did this deliberately. They created an artificial reef. Oh, I was hoping of some kind of war. Well, the thing is, uh, the, the different wrecks, though, have a historical significance. It's from World War one. Once from World War two, there's like little other trawler type things, but, but thing is, it's such a popular dive site in Barbados. You think, oh, man, this has been dive a million times. There won't be much fish life on it or it'll be fun to swim around. But no, I mean, there were people everywhere.

30:41Any other snorkelers? I mean, not see you boats. I don't think it was a you boat. No, but, but, you know, it was in that same genre of type of vessels. I mean, they were varied, uh, quite a bit from wrecked wreck, but on one of them had two sea horses. Those are like the canaries of the, uh, of the sea. Yeah. So even a site that is dive as much as it is, they still had like, you know, a lot of fish life on them and a lot of growth and like two sea horses on one of the wrecks. I was like, I was blown away. It's like that was so, so cool. You got to be real quiet and listen for them in between bubbles. They don't make any noise. You know what? Now that you say that, yeah, I didn't hear that at all. That was, that was in your head. Take a breath. But, uh, but yeah, maybe, how are you saying now you do that? I'm like, that's it. No, that was, that was, uh, that was an exhaust out of one of the other dive buddies.

31:41Ford shorts. I think. Oh, yeah. Okay. Anyhoo is good. You need to add that to your list if you haven't done that dive already of our betos more coming up. This is the worldwide scuba radio network. You were surfaced interval is complete. You are now clear to dive with scuba radio. The world's first radio show devoted to diving. I'm dying, dying, dying. Right, we've got to get on that ship. Attention passengers. The karaoke contest will begin in five minutes. Okay, now we've really got to get on that ship. Look at me.

32:42I'm ship face. I'm a knight in the space. Round these yaddies I'm out of place. I'm ship face. That may have happened a couple weeks ago right before I went to Barbados. I am Greg the Dimester. This is the world's first radio show devoted to diving. I was hanging with the dive god, Mr. Neil Watson. We did a little birthday cruise out of Miami right before I popped over to Barbados. And we shared his 86th birthday and just had a cocktail or two and hung out. And, um, you know, on his birthday, I was, I, you know, you're a monk's royalty. And the dive industry when you're hanging with Neil Watson. And on his birthday, he got a call from Geraldo Rivera. I don't think I'm, uh, sharing privileged information when I say this, but I was so tempted to film it over his shoulder and like, holy crap, he's talking to Geraldo and Geraldo's wishing him happy birthday.

33:43It was like, what, what up, a lot, though? Yeah. And they had a nice little chat. I didn't tape it. But, uh, but yeah, that's one of the, uh, you know, when you're having, having a brush with the, with greatness, like Neil, you don't realize, uh, all the people that he's interfaced with. Yeah, they're all there, like interview him way back in the 80s or something. Yeah, they're good buds. I mean, like, hey, old buddy, how you doing? You know, happy birthday and just want to check in and say hi, you know, and, I mean, yeah, he met him back. I think when they was working on that TV show 2020 with you downs. Oh, yeah. Remember that that dates us. But, uh, but yeah, uh, yeah. And that's, you know, I was talking to Neil. I got a few news stories. We're going to get them on the show either today or next week and kind of go over that. But I had a great visit with Neil and, uh, and we, we just had an awesome time. And then I headed off to Barbados, drink more rum when I wasn't diving. So, uh, you know, next time, uh, the rest of the crew will have to go to Barbados.

34:47And, uh, I want to dive some of those wrecks. Yeah. And go see the seahorses and they sound like what again? Not in here that I heard the other the hare it is. You know, that's, that's the sound you listen for. Uh, they're like, hey, it could be a seahorse around you. I don't know. I have no idea. But yeah, it was really, really something. And I definitely, uh, with, uh, or you could listen for this too. Uh-oh. What's that? Hold on if I can get this microphone right? Okay. He's trying to move things around. What are you trying to get it down there to worry? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Quiet on the set. Yeah, I think it could be that too. That was a little anticlimactic. Yeah. I thought it was serious. I dropped the school. I never had one lesson. Okay. Great. Hey, look, it's Finny Two Tanks is with us now too. I, you know, I didn't know if any of it was ever going to make it back after

35:50the living wake that we performed here on Scuba Radio a few weeks ago. So real wild. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was. Yeah. But, uh, but here he is. Uh, uh, a new lease on life. We're in his little hat. Wait, we look at him. Yeah, what is that? Is he, are you wearing a beanie? I'm wearing, uh, uh, well, it's, it was a baseball cap, but I cut the visor off. Well, that makes sense. The only, the only off because I wear it underneath my, my biking helmet. Oh, so you took, why don't you just put a new rag out? Well, he had a baseball cap. To the ball. Yeah. Okay, wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight. You took a baseball cap and cut off the bill. So you could use it for scuba diving or use it for a biking and where it put in it, wearing it under your helmet, your bike helmet. I put it on and then I put my helmet on. Yeah. I had to do that too. You know, actually, that's not a terrible idea. I have to do that too because if you don't, then the sun will burn you through the helmet vents.

36:53Right. You don't want to end up like bury the bugger. That's what he's got hair. So I didn't know if that'd be an issue. No, hair won't, that won't protect you. I got like red marks before I got a great, well, you got plenty of baseball caps. You just cut the bill off. I have, I just fold up a handkerchief and tie it up like a pirate. Okay. The big rig. You do that when you go diving. Sometimes, yeah, sometimes. But what I'm saying though, the little beanie kind of contraption that Vinnie has created is not a hideous idea. You know, you might be able to get it under your helmet if you just flip it backwards. Yeah, I could, but I just took it off. Yeah. Before you just leave the bill off. Oh, god. Vinnie, I think it's one of these ideas that you came up with it. Probably first time ever where I'm like, okay, they're actually at first I thought, oh, geez, typical Vinnie move. But then, no, wait a minute. This actually could work because I wear like a beanie when I'm diving.

37:57And it looks exactly the same. I mean, did you cut it off? You look super goofy, Greg. Yeah, I just took a scissor and cut it off. Okay, you just cut off the, yeah. That's not a terrible idea. What's wrong with that idea? We could put it on the scuba radio. So, uh, uh, smorgas, yeah, I could have gifts. Will your bill not fit under the helmet? Well, no, you're talking about a helmet. I'm talking about using it for diving. I, I, I don't want it in the way of my vision. Yeah, who cares about the helmet? That's my point. Use it is a beanie for scuba diving. You could do that too. That too. Yeah, he's a, you know, of course. Yeah, he did. There was some head shrink when you get him wet, Greg. Only if there was. Well, it has an adjustment in the back of its ring. She's just adjusting. I haven't, no, I haven't paid for a baseball cap in many years because they're all free. These are free. Right. That's what I'm, what do you mean? No, Vinnie. Oh, wait, wait, wait, Jerry saying no. What do you mean? No, if the freaking head shrieks,

38:58it pulls up this way, Greg. Adjusted and owned a back doesn't help it when it grow on upwards. Why would it draw upwards? There's got thoughts on it. Shrieks. I don't shrieks. It depends on you. No, hold on. I know, but you're, you're talking about a baseball cap that's made out of cotton. Most of them are pretty much a lot of nylon blends. Yes. That's what I'm saying. You could get one of those nylon baseball cap things cut off the bill. You could turn it into a dipene. I'm just saying I think that actually is not a terrible idea. My scuba radio hat. What? No, those are cotton, by the way, so you don't want to do that. They would shrink. And then, and then, you know, it's just, you know, you know, it had, and if you have something on the front, like, uh, well, scuba radio, look at me. I got to make it in the 80. Excuse me. Is that what you have on your baseball cap? Like the chrome, uh, I kind of like it. He got a trucker with a dipleg. He does. Then he looks very dive center. If it says gas, grass or ass, you know, yeah, there you go.

40:02It was a freebie from my favorite company, yeah. Which was who? scuba.com. Okay. All right. Well, there you go. I'm sure they love the fact that you bastardized their product. He filed. Yeah. I'm faced. Yeah. All right. Well, uh, you know, Vinnie's going for a new look today. And, uh, I think it's a pleasure. That's right. It's an interesting concept. So maybe we'll have to look into that. I don't know. Oh, but, uh, CJ, you, you know, I have a black beanie. I would that I wear diving for the scene. I've seen it. And you say it looks goofy. Is that the goofy? What do you mean it looks goofy? Maybe it's just your face. Okay. Yeah. It doesn't get up my face. I have to tell you the truth, Greg. It's not a, like, uh, face mask. I don't know. It'd be better. It'd be better for was. Oh, you son of a bitch. Why you? Isn't it? Isn't it?

41:04What on the screen? Like if I'm. Oh, just come out a couple of miles, Greg. That's all you. Is it on your left side? What do you laugh at? I think it's one of these screams. I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to protect my head, okay? My camera's not on my head. Don't make fun of me, okay? Hey, you guys are really hurting my feelings, okay? My god, okay. Well, I just want to be like many two things, okay? Uh, geez. Okay. Victory, good. My head. My head. I didn't mean to cause a bruha. Yeah, there you go. Oh, bruha. There you go. I mean, every time I say something, it's like, yes. It's disaster. Okay. Well, what crap about one? I'd like that to see a power to, uh, morphs into something a little bit more productive. Stick around, more coming up.
