0:00.0 | Hello everyone, Kevin Espiritu here from Epic Gardening. It's day five of the apocalypse, and I have some updates for any survivors out there who may still be listening to this broadcast. |
0:12.0 | Things have started to turn up for me at the Epic Gardening headquarters. I have come out of the energy slump that I had in the first four days of the apocalypse. |
0:21.4 | spirits are lifted, energy levels are lifted. |
0:24.3 | I am sleeping a little bit less and we had a bountiful harvest of fish yesterday. I mentioned the Grunion Run on my previous broadcast and let me just |
0:36.9 | tell you that we cleaned up. We cleaned up out there and by we I mean myself there was no one |
0:42.1 | else out there. The day prior there were some Asian |
0:45.2 | grandmothers out there that were cleaning up and putting me to shame, but it |
0:48.8 | seems that they saw me studying their ways and they knew that I would beat them in the Grunion run yesterday, |

1:19.1 | their spawning so that the generations of Grunion can still propagate themselves into the future. |
1:25.7 | And then after that, ideally I will capture the larger males and the larger females because we are going for maximum protein. |
1:35.0 | Now what that meant is I was able to yesterday if I wanted to completely fill up a |
1:41.0 | five gallon bucket I decided not. I decided to leave many |
1:44.8 | Grunion to continue their life and feel completely fine with that. There are two more |
1:49.8 | days left on this particular four-day span of the Grunion run. |
1:53.8 | Went home, I was up for hours into the night processing |
1:57.9 | these Grunion to make them ready to store |
2:00.7 | for many, many days to come come and today we had a fantastic day on the challenge. |
