You are a really, really fascinating man with a lot of really fascinating things to share! And very relaxing. Thanks for making videos the way you do and in such variety!
One of the most interesting and relaxing videos yet. Ive been watching ASMR for 4 years now and I can honestly say Ive finally found the right fit for me with your channel. Keep doing what your doing, Chycho, and just know there are people out there who appreciate your work!
Thanks for the love, Keaton. I definitely plan on being here for the long run, love doing this and with this support, how could I do anything else. As always, Peace :)
It has been interesting, that's for sure, both good and bad of course. I am slowly sharing as much as I can regarding certain aspects. This was one of them, there will be more regarding geophysics as well. I also have some planned on how I got into publishing comic books (basically my life as a comic book reader/collector/publisher), and I have some planned on how I got into teaching math and physics. We'll see what else may come, might have to do some of them off youtube since they may not be suitable here ;)
Hi Chycho, Awesome video my friend. I could listen to you all day long. You seem to have had such an interesting life. I look forward to hearing more stories. On a side note, I've been watching you videos for many, many years now and I want to thank you. I enjoy them all very much regardless of subject and I never say thank you but they are all very much appreciated. I particularly enjoy your comic book videos. Peace ✌
You're very welcome, Stuart, and as you know I love putting together this content so thank you for sticking around while I jump all over the place... fun to do though :)
Great video! I have been reading up on the Cascadia subduction zone and find it fascinating. Did much of your work deal with seismicity? How did your time as a geophysicist inform you of the risk of quakes in the BC/Pacific Northwest region?
For sure we did a lot of seismology. Most of my seismic work life was spent on environmental/geotechnical/exploration but we did a lot of seismology related to earthquakes at university. Very cool stuff and there are some Earthquake prediction technique which really fascinated me, most of them though are location specific and can not be used as indicators by themselves - some might disagree with my interpretation of this but I stand by it :) As for Pacific North West, the so-called "big one" that is overdue here is overly hyped. Don't get me wrong, there will be a big one at some point - tomorrow, a year from now, 10 years from now, 50, 100, 200??? - but it will not be as devastating as those seen in California. The "danger" areas off the coast of BC, the subduction zones, are deep here so the energy released will have to travel much further then lets say California, hence the damage from a magnitude 8 in BC will be much less than that in California - except for Richmond and Delta, we might see some serious liquefaction if the duration is long.
I think some of the hype for the Big One off the Juan de Fuca plate comes from the fact that many in that region are just beginning to realize that big quakes (anything over mag 8) can occur there. That said I appreciate your perspective on when: no one really knows and it certainly could be a few hundred years from now.
Idk if I'm the specific person you were mentioning haha I remember commenting I was going to uni for geophysics. Update: atm my declared major is marine biology which has just come from the exposure to the field and research experience on marine ecosystems. I'm only in my first year so I've still got time to decide exactly what I'm the most interested in. As always great video 👊
I really don't remember, but if you were, thank you for the request :) ... and good luck on the major, whatever you decide. All things earth science are awesome in my book.
I took a first year geology course in university for one of my two required science credits while finishing an anthropology/history degree. It was the hardest course I'd ever taken in my life (and that includes my current Masters). It also had 500 students in it, the professor was nearly impossible to contact and even though both mid-terms were open book, I ended up with lows 70s. It was so difficult, I barely had a chance to enjoy any of it. I took it with a friend and I remember studying before the final and we were both laughing that we weren't sure we could actually pass it. For humanities/social science students you basically have to skip every class and hand in total garbage to get less than a 65. I kind of resented the course, even though I found aspects interesting. CUT TO: I'm currently working in a federal science library as I finish my MLIS and sometimes materials come across my desk related to geology - usually glaciology - and I can actually understand some of it! Earth Sciences are really cool. If I could go back and redo my undergraduate degree, I probably would have done an arts & science degree in history and an earth science.
Yikes! 500 people in a geology class. I don't think i ever saw any earth science related classes go over 40. Such a large class would definitely reduce the quality. What university were you at?
University of Guelph. Because they required all non-science majors to take 1.0 credits in sciences (so, 2 courses), they were always jam packed. Maybe 500 was hyperbole, but at least 300 students for sure. I took botany as my other science credit, which fit nicely with anthropology, and the professor focused on medicinal uses of plants as a theme. A lot of memorization, but way more involving than geology, which just a massive survey course (no pun intended) with no personality. I actually disliked studying at the UofG until my last year when I only had seminar courses made up of 12-20 students. Then it was amazing. I had a co-op interview for Waterloo a few months ago for an instructional and bibliometrics position at Dana Porter and Davis Library. Which would've been sweet. But the way the rankings worked out, I landed at Environment Canada. Which is also cool. Minus the massive pay scandal currently going on! Cheers!
Your voice is like a warm hug:) It looks so nice sitting there in the beautiful weather just talking. Do you still live in Canada? Because I have to say, as a norwegian, this is not how I picture Canada x)
haha... thanks, I like warm hugs :) And yes, still in Canada, the west coast, and loving it. I really enjoy social diversity and raw nature and I get both here, that's for sure.
Huge chunks of the country are definitely cold and snowy from late Fall all the way to early Spring, the southern west coast though is a little different. It's classified as a temperate rainforest, so we get lots of rain and it's green everywhere, huge proportions of Canada are actually green everywhere, much the same way I imagine Norway to be actually. I believe our coast line is suppose to be very similar.
chycho Wow, I didn't know that! We do have a lot of rain.. and very little snow. It disappears over night! But I don't like snow so I don't complain. You have definitely open my mind regarding Canada. It's funny how countries and people are presented to us through TV and Internet and it's usually just a part of the whole picture:)
I took 3 separate times to sit and listen to your story because I thought it was very interesting. I wanted to hear it all lol but you tell stories so well!!! I would really like another one like this but with maybe some talks of your hobbies as you grew up like your drumming for example. PS loved the bit when your file wasn't up to scratch and it had red marks all over it. I got soo many back like that in music college haha
Oh man, I have a lot of drums stories... .one of the greatest decisions I ever made was to play drums, I wouldn't be who I am now if I didn't. And of course there are a lot more geophysics stories as well.... Okay, I'll start thinking about putting together some chycho stories, creating a stories playlist. I really love telling them, Like everyone, I do have some great and some not so great memories :)
You know, i love Canada, i've always wanted to go. I love the fact it's a huge country with literally 10 different climates and the mountains, the animals, the people!!, it's all so great, I actually knew a guy online who became a mountie, and he told me about the training he had to do... you have to carry somebody equal to your body weight across an obstacle course and then run 10 miles afterwards or something along those lines... very intense stuff. But yeah on a side note on how i said Northern Ireland is small? Well truthfully i haven't been all over but i've been to the main places, I live in Belfast, but i've been to Derry, Killough, DownPatrick, Portadown,Derriaghy,PortRush,Antrim,Ballyhornan, Ballymena... the list goes on. These places are at most 70 miles apart!! Infact, I play playstation 4 online and i met a guy from Portadown and it turns out he's only 15 minutes on a train from me.
haha... cool I hope you enjoy it, it's a great university. I loved it anyway, lots to learn... as for Geomatics, great choice. It's all about the data :)
Thanks for your concern, Joe, but I think we'll be okay. This is only for sipping, and in very small amounts. Easy-peasy is the best way to go with this stuff :)
I might be doing a couple of random ones in the next few weeks if i get a chance, but I should be starting reading set #4 by mid October... 32 books to read, fun :)
Oh... there are many. As you know I read comic books, I cook a lot, walks, I stay up to date on all my politics and economics, activism, etc... basically, life in general.
Sweet. 3% is awesome... and it also depends on where you're located. I'm in the west coast of Canada and the bubble here is insane, it's worst than what it was in the US in 2006/2007, and we all know how that ended. Check out the house prices in Vancouver Canada and you'll see what I mean.
I know exactly what you mean. Luckily the midwest doesn't ever get hit that hard. Granted during that time I was working construction and was laid off almost the entire year of 2008.... lol

My pleasure, as the saying goes, variety is the spice of life and I do like my life spicy. Peace :)
My dad was a geophysisist. Great video. Thanks.
This is a great episode! Thank you so much for sending me this link Chycho.

Could you do a video on a summary of your life? You seem to have a very interesting life.
It has been interesting, that's for sure, both good and bad of course.
I am slowly sharing as much as I can regarding certain aspects. This was one of them, there will be more regarding geophysics as well.

Great video, Chycho. Loved the whole storytelling aspect of the video. Please do more like this!
Thanks, John, and I think I will slowly start to create some more of these. Love storytelling, taking it back to the roots.
One of my favourite videos.
Hi Chycho,
Awesome video my friend. I could listen to you all day long.
You seem to have had such an interesting life. I look forward to hearing more stories.

What an amazing story, was interesting all the way through, Great video Chycho. :)
Thanks, Luis, very fun to share :)
Your channel is dope man. Im digging your content!
Thanks, brother, and welcome.
... or sister :)
Chycho the Moonshiner ! Great stuff ! Drank a lot of lemon liquer while being on holiday in Italy. Amazing stuff.
haha... delicious and nutritious, can't ask for more than that :)
I'm about 26 minutes in, man, that life mentor is persistent, sheesh.

Having a chycho LAN party with my friends
I cant use this for ASMR because thinking gets my head going then i can't sleep but threse videos are still great

I just think of Canada as being cold and snowey, but it seems better when looking at your videos:) I want to go there sometime!
Huge chunks of the country are definitely cold and snowy from late Fall all the way to early Spring, the southern west coast though is a little different. It's classified as a temperate rainforest, so we get lots of rain and it's green everywhere, huge proportions of Canada are actually green everywhere, much the same way I imagine Norway to be actually.

You have definitely open my mind regarding Canada. It's funny how countries and people are presented to us through TV and Internet and it's usually just a part of the whole picture:)
That it is, and a brilliant picture it can be, definitely brings us together :)
5 years in the Chycho castle 🏰 😌
:) :)
I don't understand geophysics, but I greatly appreciate all the tangents you go down! :D Thank you, sir!
haha... you're very welcome, the stories are definitely fun to share :)
Love this channel ! I feel like I know you from a past life , lol. Cheers brother
Thanks, brother... and it is a small world, so who knows, our paths might have crossed in this or another life :)
I took 3 separate times to sit and listen to your story because I thought it was very interesting. I wanted to hear it all lol but you tell stories so well!!! I would really like another one like this but with maybe some talks of your hobbies as you grew up like your drumming for example. PS loved the bit when your file wasn't up to scratch and it had red marks all over it. I got soo many back like that in music college haha
Oh man, I have a lot of drums stories... .one of the greatest decisions I ever made was to play drums, I wouldn't be who I am now if I didn't. And of course there are a lot more geophysics stories as well.... Okay, I'll start thinking about putting together some chycho stories, creating a stories playlist. I really love telling them, Like everyone, I do have some great and some not so great memories :)
+chycho drums are my life too and they have enabled me to gig since I was 12 and I had only been playing for a year at that point
Awesome! I hope you make it out on a tour to Vancouver some day, and if you do let me know, I'll be there :)
You know, i love Canada, i've always wanted to go. I love the fact it's a huge country with literally 10 different climates and the mountains, the animals, the people!!, it's all so great, I actually knew a guy online who became a mountie, and he told me about the training he had to do... you have to carry somebody equal to your body weight across an obstacle course and then run 10 miles afterwards or something along those lines... very intense stuff.

These places are at most 70 miles apart!! Infact, I play playstation 4 online and i met a guy from Portadown and it turns out he's only 15 minutes on a train from me.
my favorite so far
Love the videos!
I think the word you were looking for at 2:06 is "ferment"
Thank you. Someone else pointed that out as well a couple of days ago, I won't be forgetting it anytime soon... thank you :)
Hi, chycho! I have a question. Do you know if elderberries or liqueurs have mathematical formulas?
Everything has a chemical formula, and chemistry can be understood through geometry, so I would say yes, they do.
Awesome. Blows my mind how much of the world is made up of math. :)
Me too, and you're very welcome.
I'm going to Waterloo in the fall! I'm taking Geomatics :)
haha... cool I hope you enjoy it, it's a great university. I loved it anyway, lots to learn... as for Geomatics, great choice. It's all about the data :)
Thanks, I think I'm going to love it :)
Love you man!
Thanks, brother :))
YES CHYCHO
Good video im subscribing
Welcome to my channel :)
Where are you from? I honestly cant tell you sound a bit northern irish/canadian.
You got it, western Canadian.
Andy Garcia?
I was scared at 1:04 when you showed us the berries. it looked like a huge spider nest.
haha... that it does, with a big shiny black spider hiding in the middle.
Love the goatee bro. Also very cool video..........ooh and i do love vodka. Peace.
Thanks, brother. Vodka and Goatees, the good life :)
Will the cyanide seep into the liqueur? I wouldn't want you to get sick, chycho.
Thanks for your concern, Joe, but I think we'll be okay. This is only for sipping, and in very small amounts. Easy-peasy is the best way to go with this stuff :)
when can we expect another comic book video Chycho?
I might be doing a couple of random ones in the next few weeks if i get a chance, but I should be starting reading set #4 by mid October... 32 books to read, fun :)
Awesome bro! Definitely looking forward to them.
Me too, brother, me too :)
Is that green tea?
I believe that was lemon liqueur, home made :)
what do you do when you don't do asmr?
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Like what other type of content do I create, or what do I do other than create content?
+chycho like hobbies and other things you like to do besides asmr
Oh... there are many. As you know I read comic books, I cook a lot, walks, I stay up to date on all my politics and economics, activism, etc... basically, life in general.
+chycho interesting witch is your favorite topics?
i like doing many things, don't really have a favorite.
man I swear u look like the lead singer of slayer
if ur goate was a beard
Most people say I look like Serj from System of a Down, but Tom Araya works as well. Both an honor, brother, thank you :)
+chycho omfg YOU DOOO I JUST NOTICED IT LOL
haha... that makes a lot more sense, when I have my full beard I've had people associate me with Araya.
:))
Renting huh? Lucky smart man. lol
haha...
Question: when is a good time to buy in a bubble?
Answer: Never.
:)
I actually just purchased my house at 3%. But it was through the VA loan because I'm a vet.
Sweet. 3% is awesome... and it also depends on where you're located. I'm in the west coast of Canada and the bubble here is insane, it's worst than what it was in the US in 2006/2007, and we all know how that ended. Check out the house prices in Vancouver Canada and you'll see what I mean.
I know exactly what you mean. Luckily the midwest doesn't ever get hit that hard. Granted during that time I was working construction and was laid off almost the entire year of 2008.... lol
ha.. so you didn't get sucked into the buying frenzy... good silver lining.
