[0.00 --> 5.28] We're doing the show from Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Brent is here in Lady Joops with me, Alex.
[5.70 --> 6.22] Hello, Brent.
[6.60 --> 7.64] Hello, guys.
[7.96 --> 10.40] I brought him with, you know, he's been with us the whole trip, Alex.
[10.62 --> 12.22] We're in for such a treat tonight.
[12.38 --> 18.60] I have two of my best friends in the whole world, one of my favorite beverages, and a self-hosted podcast.
[19.26 --> 21.18] This is going to be a perfect episode.
[21.92 --> 22.26] Wow.
[22.38 --> 22.90] Wait a minute, though.
[22.90 --> 24.46] What's the favorite beverage?
[24.62 --> 26.36] I feel like you've got to give us more information.
[26.86 --> 28.78] Well, this particular one is non-alcoholic.
[28.78 --> 29.80] It's an import.
[30.34 --> 30.70] Okay.
[30.88 --> 34.16] So I've gone to a lot of effort for this particular beverage.
[34.66 --> 36.72] Import from Canada or somewhere further?
[37.08 --> 39.84] The British people in the audience are going to laugh their faces off in a minute.
[40.06 --> 42.40] It's Robinson's squash.
[43.52 --> 44.44] Do you know what that is?
[44.78 --> 45.60] No, I've got to look it up.
[45.64 --> 46.12] Tell me about it.
[46.20 --> 46.44] Okay.
[46.64 --> 48.44] So it's just flavored water, essentially.
[48.64 --> 53.98] It's a bit of sugar with apple and blackcurrant flavoring in it.
[53.98 --> 59.90] And every six months or so, someone in my family sends me a care package with a few British treats in.
[60.00 --> 64.32] So some, you know, British style Kit Kats, because the Kit Kats you have over here are garbage.
[64.32 --> 68.94] And then also a few of these Robinson squashed.
[70.92 --> 74.24] It's the word squash with an apostrophe in D after the end.
[74.32 --> 78.02] These little, you know, water flavoring packets you can get.
[78.18 --> 80.74] And I end up with a, you know, a taste of home.
[80.90 --> 83.12] It's just a little treat I have every now and again.
[83.64 --> 84.56] That does sound kind of nice.
[85.00 --> 89.20] We have some things just like that on board today, actually.
[89.32 --> 91.08] The kids love to drink it while we're going down the road.
[91.72 --> 93.72] We've been off-grid in two, killing it.
[94.46 --> 103.68] In fact, in some ways, I think I've been, not in some ways, in every single way, I've enjoyed our off-grid random spots that we've stayed along the way more than any of the campgrounds.
[104.16 --> 107.14] Some have been forced and some have been planned, but they've all been good.
[107.48 --> 110.30] Yeah, there was a time where we had to pull over for a bit.
[110.30 --> 114.66] And, you know, the power system was great, although we were a little short on water.
[114.82 --> 116.90] The mobile internet system has been killing it, though.
[117.32 --> 118.08] It's been fantastic.
[118.20 --> 120.82] We've had connectivity the entire time, everywhere we've went.
[121.20 --> 128.38] Sometimes better or worse connectivity, like here in Cheyenne, Wyoming, we have kind of moderate connectivity right now.
[129.18 --> 135.50] But even with moderate connectivity, you can still use a Cloud Guru and become a Cloud Guru.
[135.50 --> 140.72] Go over to CloudGuru.com, the leader in learning for cloud and Linux and other modern tech skills.
[140.82 --> 142.62] Hundreds of courses, thousands of hands-on labs.
[143.14 --> 146.80] Get certified, get hired, get learning at a CloudGuru.com.
[147.28 --> 155.64] So, Alex, with our special guest in studio, as it were, do you have any questions for our exclusive access to Brent?
[155.72 --> 158.46] I mean, when's the last time we've had a chance to sit down and ask him a question?
[158.76 --> 159.58] It's been too long.
[159.58 --> 165.64] For those of you that don't know, Brent is the host of Brunch with Brent, which you can find over at extras.show.
[166.12 --> 170.82] Now, I wanted to ask you, Brent, you spent a few days now in Lady Dupes with Chris and the fam.
[171.58 --> 180.92] He often goes on about accessibility of the Home Assistant interface and how he's got these tablets mounted to the wall and how easy it is to use and blah, blah, blah.
[181.42 --> 187.12] I was curious as to how you found using someone else's automation system.
[187.12 --> 194.98] Well, as you know, I don't have an automation system at home, so I'm pretty fresh when it comes to experiencing these things.
[195.54 --> 199.44] However, I will say my experience on day one started actually in the studio.
[200.10 --> 206.34] He very kindly set up the exact same tablet system in the studio as he did here in Lady Dupes.
[206.66 --> 210.54] So, night one, I slept over there and had to figure it out.
[210.98 --> 215.04] He gave me a 37-second tour, but actually that was enough.
[215.04 --> 223.74] It had a familiar enough on-off switch interface with very kind labels that were identical to the voice commands.
[224.46 --> 226.22] And so, I was able to play a little bit, actually.
[226.44 --> 235.66] I could sort of run over there and go see the tablet and what things were named and then use some of the voice commands and, I guess, learn myself.
[235.66 --> 240.14] The other thing I did is I got one of those wall mount socket mounts for the HomePod mini.
[240.46 --> 243.50] So, it's plugged in and mounted right there at the wall socket.
