[Music]
Hello and welcome to Podcasting for Value. One plebeians attempt at creating a value for value
podcast. My name is Josh. I will be your said plebeian today. The music that you just heard is called
the seven consonant song by musical maps, geography lessons for kids, and it was found on ellenbeats.com.
And as this is a value for value podcast, if you're using a podcasting 2.0 enabled podcast
player, you can send small amounts of bitcoin known as satoshis. And I will put a split
into this episode to where part of those satoshis will go to musical maps by a profound gallery.
So a profound gallery will receive a split of those satoshis. And this is another special edition
of the value for value podcast. This is going to be another podcast with our favorite little person.
Men? Oh yep, Solomon. Last year we did a podcast about a passion project and that was on.
Mud skippers. Mud skippers, that's right. We had a lot of fanfare, a lot of excitement amongst the
people over that episode. I think everybody liked it. Did you hear any good things about that one?
Yeah. Okay, try not to take up all the time here with your answers. Okay, yeah.
So this year is a new start of a school year. You want to do another song?
You want some more sound effects? Let's see what we got here. How can I help?
Well, that's a good question, Solomon. How can I help? This year we're doing another passion
project and this time it's going to be on fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing.
So is that echoing fishing? Fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing.
Okay, okay. I think that's enough. I think that's enough fishing for one day.
Fishing, fishing, fishing, fishing for fishing. Fishing's fun for the fishing fish.
Well, the question is my first question is why did you decide to pick fishing for your passion project?
Because it's fun, fun, fun. It's fun and I like it and it's fun to catch fish.
What makes it fun? What do you like about it? Touching slime, catching fish.
In that order? Other way around.
Catching fish and touching slime. Yes. What do you do with these fish if you catch them?
If they're under the limit, we let them go. But if they're over the limit and under the
thingamajig limit, then we eat them. The thingamajig limit. Are you talking about the slot size?
Yeah. And what does that even mean? It's for Chinook. It's 62 to 80. 62 to 80 what pounds?
Centimeters. Until I'm pretty sure it's September something and you're allowed to keep 62 and anything
over that. Oh, so what you're saying is that the slot size is you can only keep between 62 centimeters
and 80 centimeters. So that sounds like a regulation of some kind. So where do you get these regulations?
How do you know what you can catch and what you can't catch? Fishing guide. Oh, the fishing guide.
Is that a book on fishing regulations? It's an app. Oh, it's an app. So they probably have a book
and an app. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Perfect. So. Yeah. Now I need for you. Yeah. I need for you to
pretend. I mean, this is going to be a tough one for you. Are you is your you have a good imagination?
Are you good at? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. I need you to pretend that I'm not the world's
best fishermen for just a little while, if you can, and talk to me like I don't know anything about
fishing. And can you tell me where there are some places that you can go to fish? It's not actually
the world's best fishermen is. Where can you go to fish? Rivers, lakes, oceans. So there needs to
be water, it sounds like. Yeah. Fish live in water. Is that right? Yes. Are you actually the world's
best fishermen? I think you're the world's best fishermen. I'm really good at eating fish and chips.
Yeah. Everybody's good at that. Oh, okay. Well, then if you were to see, let's say you end up
at the ocean, do you have to have a boat or can you fish out of a boat or how how would you fish
in the ocean? You have to fish offshore or off the boat or off a kayak or off a helicopter or
off a plane or off a drone or off a kite. Wow. That sounds very complicated. Do you need a lot of
gear to do this? Sort of sometimes. Yes. Maybe. I don't know. Probably. Definitely. Wow. That sounds
very non-committal on your part. Do you have your own fishing gear or do you just jump out of
helicopters trying to catch fish? Yeah, I have my own fishing gear. I'm definitely not going to
jump out of a helicopter just to get your fish. Oh, either what I was just asking for a friend.
The gear that you have, is it for saltwater or for fresh water? Is there different gear for
fresh and saltwater? Sometimes, but not. You can use the same gear. You can use a huge
popper in fresh water and you can use a huge popper in saltwater. You can use a spoon in fresh
water and a spoon in saltwater, a spinner. You can use any kind of lure and any kind of water,
just you might not catch a fish. Okay, so basically, yes, you can use whatever you want to, but
you're not necessarily going to catch a fish. What about the, what about the stick that all
that stuff is connected to? Are those all the same? It's not a stick. It's actually a rod and,
but you can use a stick for it. So this rod that you're referring to, are they all the same or
they're different types of rods? There's a lot of different types of rods. Can you give me an
example of a few of them? Casting, noodling, noodle rod. It's not a noodle rod. You use your finger
and stick it into a catfish hole and jiggle it around like a worm. To what end? The front end,
so the catfish can eat your finger. So the catfish can eat your finger. So do people that noodle fish,
do they, can they only catch 10 fish total in their life and then they're out of fingers?
No, because they, they can catch, they, do you want them to bite your finger, but not bite your
finger off? Does it only work for catfish or could you do say you could noodle for barracuda or?
Yeah, I would say so. You can definitely noodle for catfish and bass and bullfrog and more bass
and more bass and more bass and more bass and more bass. So you could do barracuda and piranhas
and things like that? Yep, I think so. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Is that a good plan? Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Why not? Because the piranha, the barracuda, all that stuff can just bite your finger right off. Oh, okay. Well then we'll skip that for now. Uh, and then
can you only fish with lures and your finger or was there any way? You can fish with spears, you can fish with
boat, you can fish with arrows, you can fish with poo. Well, that last one sounds a bit interesting and I
don't think I'm going to attempt that. Uh, but there, and it's always just fake. It can be live bait too,
like herring, minnow, sunfish. Oh, and then you attract the fish with that type of bait?
It doesn't have to be bait. I've caught a fish on just a hook. Just a hook. What type of fish was that?
Bullhead, that's the, it's one of the most aggressive fish because they just eat anything that gets in
front of them. And where was that in a lake or river or ocean? The mouth of a river because they
are saltwater creatures, but they can live in brackish. And what does brackish mean? Fresh and
saltwater mixed together. Ah, okay. All right. So then do you have a favorite style of fishing?
Casting. Casting, casting from shore shore shore shore. And what type of fish can you catch from
the shore? Anything you want? Anything you can catch from a boat? Really? What if I wanted to catch
a great white shark? Sure. Have you ever caught a fish off the shore? I've caught all my-- Never from
a boat? No. Huh. And what's the biggest fish you think you've caught? Ten inches? Wow. Maybe not
ten inches, maybe ten centimeters, ten inches? Close, I don't know. What type of fish was that?
Kilp. Oh. And my rod was too tangled and tangled, so I just used my rod's line and just threw it out
there and put it in and then I caught the fish. So what were you missing out on with that then?
Not being able to cast as far. Okay. And was there another part of the rod that is useful?
The reel. The reel what? The reel that you reel the line in so you can reel it in faster.
Oh, so it's not fake. It's real? Stop that joke. If you could go anywhere in the world
to go fishing, where do you think it would be? South America. Whoa. South America. Didn't see that
coming. Why South America? There's a lot of aggressive fish, a lot of jungle. Yeah. It's easy
to get a stick rod and some vine and find some bait. You could just stick rod some bait. You'd
probably find something sharp enough. Wow. Where's the furthest place you've ever been from home
fishing? Hawaii. Hawaii. Was that from the shore? Boat. Do you know what you're fishing for there?
Tuna. Any luck? No. And we're also fishing for Mahimahi. But no luck. Hmm. Did you catch anything?
Herring. Oh. Mackerel, not herring. Mackerel. Well, that sounds fun though. Has there ever been a time
where you've been fishing and something happened that wasn't supposed to happen? Yeah. My rod broke.
Oh man. So it just snapped in half as a fish too big or what? I know I snagged back on how it
snapped. You snagged yourself. What does that mean? I cast out and I got. I cast out and I got
hucked on a rock and I snagged myself. A rock fish? No, a rock, not a rock fish. Just not I ran.
A rock. A rock. Just a rock. Rock. Do-do-do. Okay. So then we've got that you've got a rod and
either bait or some sort of artificial lure. Yeah. And do-do-do. And do-do-do. Yes. Fantastic.
And then what actually catches the fish? The hook. I've got another question here. Did you just try
to eat the headphone that you have in your ear? Uh, maybe? I don't know. I like having you in my
office to record this but please don't eat the equipment. Do-do-do. Do-do. Are you making your
own sound effects now? Uh, yeah. Do-do-do-do. What is the biggest fish you've seen caught? A 21
pound Chinook. Wow, really? That must have been an amazing fish or person that caught that. It was
my dad. Sounds like a great guy. Worst guy. Worst person ever. And what type of fish was that? A salmon
which is a Chinook. A Chinook salmon. A Chinook salmon. Did you eat it? I haven't ate it the whole
thing yet, killing pounds and losers. Okay, well that sounds like a pretty nice fish. Do you mind
if I have some sometime? Yes, you're my dad. Allegedly. And um, right before that he had a big
co-ho on and that afternoon he caught the second biggest fish I've ever seen. Wow, for being the
world's worst fisherman it sounds like he does all right. He's not the world's worst fisherman. I've
said he's the worst fisherman. That sounds like you're getting about done with this interview here.
Is there anything else that you want to talk about? So all of a sudden you're two years old. Is that
what happened? No. There's another sound effect. Okay, well are we done talking about fishing? Is
there anything else that you wanted to say? No, blue blue. Okay, well it sounds like fishing is
quite exciting. Do you have any recommendation for anyone listening on how to get started fishing?
Is it cost a lot of money to go fishing or is it something that you know somebody that maybe
doesn't have a bunch of money could do? Yeah, you just need to buy a few lures and a little bit of
line. You could just find a stick in the woods and then use that. Okay, would you even need lures?
Maybe you could just get a stick with some line and a hook and then dig up some worms and try to
get some. Or you don't even need, you just need line or and if you have a pocket knife then
sometimes you can carve a sheet of two little pieces of stick and sharp then it can be and then it
can work because you just put the worm on there cast out with your stick and then you only need
wood and you only need lime. Wow, yeah, so that that actually brings me to another question is
what type of materials are all these things made out of? Plastic, mostly. What about the lures?
Lead and metal. Lead and metal and the fishing rods? Sometimes metal, sometimes plastic.
Oh, I think I saw one. I think there's a lot of kind of graphite as well, things like that. Yeah,
fiberglass. Yeah, and boats are made out of fiberglass and metal sometimes. Okay, that's good to know.
Okay, so if there's if there's nothing else that you want to talk about with your your passion project
is how do you want to say goodbye? Final sound effect, boop, doo, doo, doo. And that was Solomon
and I am Josh and we'd like to thank you for listening to podcasting for value to plebeians
attempt at creating a value for value podcast. Remember any any boost to this show will be split
with Profound Gallery for the seven continent song on the album musical maps and there'll be a link
to Ellen Beets and that song in the show notes. And now we are going to play that whole song
in its entirety. And thanks for listening and just like in fishing and in life, just try to
keep getting better. The earth is like a big ground ball with land and water for one and all
and on this earth you will find seven continents each one of a kind. What is a continent you may
ask? It's the biggest type of land mass. It's fun to learn about the continents. Let's name them.
Now we're joy and confidence. North America, South America and Antarctica, Europe, Africa, Asia.
And Australia. Some have mountains with snowy white peaks. Some have lakes, rivers and creeks.
Some have forests and jungles so green. The most beautiful places you've ever seen. Some are
hot and some are cold. Each has a history with stories to be told. Continents are proof of God's
design. The perfect place for all mankind. Maming the continents is really fun. Let's say them again.
One by one. North America, South America and Antarctica, Europe, Africa, Asia.
And Australia. Yes, oh yes, naming the continents is really fun. Let's say them again. One by one.
North America, South America and Antarctica, Europe, Africa, Asia. And Australia.
