So yes, 52 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: the answers, I know pretty much all of them. I 53 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: don't remember a lot of things, but radio stations I 54 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: do well. And we're not on in Houston on the 55 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: radio radio. But you know what's crazy, as three years 56 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: ago I would have said that had been like, oh man, sucks, 57 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: we're not on there. You can listen to as anyway 58 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: you want. You can still listen on your phone, which 59 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: is most people are just listening anyway possible anymore. You know, 60 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: um do you listen to us live or on podcast 61 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: podcast on love the lay of the day behind. But 62 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm from Oklahoma, so I've found you guys there. When 63 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: you guys person to getting up in the city. So well, great, 64 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: what would you like to ask a second question? Go ahead, okay, yeah, okay. 65 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: My other question is who would you say is like 66 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: the most underrated country artist who hasn't gotten a break 67 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: but using deserves more attention. It's a good question, and 68 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: obviously odd preface this by going, you know, anytime I go, hey, 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: here's somebody who's underrated, I get ten thousand comments about 70 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: ten thousand people. And whose cousin is you know a 71 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: planet A show nies like, oh he doesn't, You're stupid. 72 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: Frank's better. But for me, like people that I've seen that, 73 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: I go, man, how are they not a big star? 74 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: One of them is probably Brandon Ray because he's so good. 75 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: He sings just he's the best singer and he's like 76 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: an A plus guitar player. Brandon Ray is one. I 77 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: think Jilly and Jacqueline is really good, and she, you know, 78 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: hasn't exploded in the way that I thought she may have. 79 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: As far as like artists, two are you know they 80 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: have hits? Because there's kind of a you know, a 81 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: level of artists too that have hits and aren't ever 82 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: put on award shows, which is kind of a weird 83 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: thing to say. You know, they have six seven eight hits. 84 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: You know, there's like the the Cole Swindels of the world, 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: who the guy just makes hit after hit. Everybody just 86 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: kind of passes over him because you know, he didn't 87 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,359 Speaker 1: have a lot of tattoos, or he's not out, you know, 88 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: dancing in a flame. You know, he's not. So Cole 89 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: is one of those. I mean, I think Brett Eldridge 90 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: is also really one of the best, and he kind 91 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: of gets passed over a little bit too, So I 92 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: would sound different levels. Those are the and those the 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: last two guys aren't underrated, but I feel like they 94 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: aren't given the respect that they've deserved through massive radio success, 95 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: really good touring success. But Brandon ray Is is fantastic, 96 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: and so is Jilly and Jacqueline. So that's a really 97 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: good question. That's like two day I like that one 98 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: about the show, one about music, and I could be 99 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: wrong on all of that too. Is the thing? All right, 100 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: thank you, Emily. Let's see if we don't run, if 101 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: we'reunt of time, they come back to you, don't leave. 102 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: Let's see.

I'm happy to be 112 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: here for you. Okay. So if you on the radio 113 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: and you never made it in the radio, what do 114 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 1: you think that you would be doing? Now? Give you 115 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: want famous? Well, first I got to I do. I 116 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: still don't consider myself famous. That's a weird that's a 117 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: weird thing. I don't know. I always thought that even before. 118 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: First of all, I'm lucky enough to have always known 119 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, right, I mean since I 120 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: was in kindergarten. They were like, what do you want 121 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: to be? Well, I want to be on the radio 122 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: and on TV and a comedian. And I've done that right, 123 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: So it's hard for me to go Well, if I 124 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: wasn't but I would think I would be creating something 125 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: probably like advertising, like you know, not selling because suckets selling, 126 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: but like creating campaigns, advertising campaigns, something like that. If 127 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: it were completely non creative, a bodybuilder probably maybe. I mean, 128 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: that's just such a tough one because I only I've 129 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: ever seen myself do one thing, So I'd go, I'd 130 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: go that, Let's see, I would seriously I would go 131 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: like creative, uh, like campaign guy. And then I would 132 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: maybe go because it can't be a writer because I 133 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: do that. I mean I probably work at the mill 134 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: a Mountain Pine. Honestly, you know, we had a sawmill 135 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: and that's whereverybody went to work, so that's when my 136 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: stepdad worked. I'd probably just just done that and you know, 137 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: live the mountain Pine and had a family, have been 138 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: super happy. So yeah, that's what I would say. What 139 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: is your second question? If you can ask anyone one question, 140 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: who would it be and what would you ask? Well, 141 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: I think and you can talk to this out with me, Mike, 142 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: I think I would want to know something that people 143 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: are dying to know. Okay, it wouldn't be selfish like 144 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: something only I want to know, but like what's a 145 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: crime that we could talk to somebody that's still alive 146 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: and they know the answer, or like a conspiracy like 147 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you go to to Trump or Obama 148 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: and go, hey, you have to tell me what you 149 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: know about aliens, Like I'm sure you know some crap 150 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: and you can't tell us. Like I would go at 151 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: that instead of, you know, go to Garth Brooks and 152 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: they're like, what would you when you wrote you know river, 153 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, what were you thinking? It'd probably something like that, 154 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: like who probably knows some conspiracy crap that and if 155 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: they have to answer that correctly too, Yeah, like they 156 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: have to tell the truth. But aliens interest me. The 157 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: moon landing, Yeah, I just think that that was real. 158 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,239 Speaker 1: I don't only think they're keeping anything from us about 159 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: the moon, so I don't think I would go with that, Like, um, 160 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: what else?

So whenever 230 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get friends or you know, trying to 231 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: be old, listen to this radio station. I you know 232 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: it was a show, but I'd love to hear I 233 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: always will like sign a podcast with lunchbox who gets 234 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: to wait because it's just so funny. So I'm wondering, 235 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: is that like gone or do you think we might 236 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: see that. I think it'll come back. I mean the 237 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: big bits that we do on our show are pretty cyclical, 238 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: meaning they'll be around for a few months and then 239 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,719 Speaker 1: sometimes we don't get back to it for a year 240 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: or two years if it starts to burn or honestly, selfishly, 241 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: I sometimes I just get bored and I'm just like, 242 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: you know what, that's give everybody a break, But no, 243 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: that'll happen again. Also, there are some people were starting 244 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: to get upset at that segment. And when people start 245 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: to get like really irritated at something, if I can 246 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: feel like some unneeded drama coming and I'm pretty bored, 247 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: I'd just go, you know what, I'm just gonna s 248 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: shelve up for now and we'll get back to it 249 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: later because I'd rather not have there'd be a news 250 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: story about it and we have to shelve it forever 251 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: and so and that was just that bit started off 252 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: as a bit because I would see circus people on 253 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: TV one. If I can't guess your weight, I'll eat 254 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: my hat. And we all were doing it, and Lunchbox 255 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: was really good at it because it started as a 256 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: bit as we all were guessing people's weights and this is, 257 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: you know, fifteen years ago, and he would almost never miss. 258 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: We were like, what is happening here? And so that 259 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: became a bit in itself. But you guys, know how 260 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: folks are. They get upset about everything.

But I noticed 325 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: I got of the people around me, some some close 326 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: friends of mine, A lot of people don't get it 327 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: or they don't like the genre. And some of the 328 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: biggest complaints I the complaints I hear is that it's 329 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: all just pandering and to stereotypes, like it's all about 330 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: just driving your truck down a dirt road and drinking beer, 331 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, and I was just wondering for someone who 332 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: is so closely involved in the industry, and as somebody 333 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: who I know is a fan of other genres of Musicum, 334 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: is there something about the country genre that really just 335 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: kind of sets itself apart from other genres or how 336 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: would you kind of pitch it to some you who 337 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: was not a fan. First, I would say that I 338 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: think your friends are right in a way. I think 339 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of pandering in country, but there's also 340 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: a lot of pandering in hip hop. You know, there's 341 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: a lot of pandering, and there is always a small 342 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: sect sect of pandering kind of at the surface level 343 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: of any format, because that's the low hanging fruit. And 344 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: people are oftentimes chasing the low hanging fruit because it's 345 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: the easiest to get and they want to eat now. 346 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: They're not worried about, you know, long term success. So 347 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: what's getting to your friends are those extremely commercial pandering songs. 348 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: And if you don't listen to country music, that's all 349 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: you hear. It's hard for me to hate. Do you 350 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: feel that way because you just haven't been exposed to 351 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: good stuff. Luckily, for me, I grew up in a 352 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: place where I was exposed to country music from forever ago. 353 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: You know, my grandmother's had me thinking country music was 354 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: Andy Griffith, Gospel Records, Ray Charles, Modern Times of country music, 355 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: Johnny Cash because he was from Arkansas, A Conway Twittery 356 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: because he's from Arkansas. Like I had country music that 357 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: I grew up, and I was told that was current 358 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: until I realized that early wasn't current and there was 359 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: real country music. But even some of that stuff was crap, right, 360 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: So just to stick up for your friends a little bit, 361 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: all right, But some of my friends listen to hip 362 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: hop only here some of the absolute most pandering hip 363 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: hop stuff too. Where hip hop like will they always 364 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: calling all women a B word? And why are they always? 365 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: That's part of it, it's not the part that I enjoy. 366 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: Same thing with pop music. So I would say that 367 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: you have a point, and yes, there's a lot of 368 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: that in all music and even all art. You know, 369 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: it's just people wanting to get paid mostly, and I 370 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: get it. How would I pitch it? I pitch country 371 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: music as the ultimate songwriter's genre because sonically it's shifting 372 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: and has been and always will and there will always 373 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: from the beginning of country music until the earth explodes, 374 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna have most people go without any country. People 375 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: only say that because it's not the same country that 376 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: they grew up listening to. But I would say country 377 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: music and singer songwriter music, kind of folk. That's pure songwriter. 378 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: It's about words, it's about message, it's about authenticity, and 379 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: if you can get past whatever bias you have about 380 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: the people that listen or seeing country music, I think 381 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: it is actually the format with the most depth. So 382 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be hard to convince somebody just 383 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: because they see people in cowboy hats and they see, 384 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, people on tractors, and that's a part of it. 385 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: And heck, I like some of it, but you know, 386 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: you really have to get them with some fringe type 387 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: stuff and then bring them in. If they're rock people, 388 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: you got to get them on some Brothers Osborne. You 389 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: gotta slip in some Brothers Osborne in the middle of 390 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: some whatever other classic rock or whatever they're listening to, 391 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: and not tell them as country music and they go, than, 392 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: let's go, what is that it's country music? Idiot? You know, 393 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: you don't do that because then they'll really hate it. 394 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: But I think it's Casey Musgraves, you know, some of 395 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: her newer stuff. I think it's kind of saying, hey, 396 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: follow me, kid getting the and you know, it's kind 397 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: of doing that with country music, with stuff that just 398 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: isn't mandolin and banjo's and bring them over to that 399 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: because I love mandeling a banjo. But if I had 400 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: never been exposed to it, I would just think of 401 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: heehaw and think that's what it's all about. That's a 402 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: great question. I appreciate you asking that. And don't get 403 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: me started on people to go well that any country, 404 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: because there's a whole I have this whole TikTok that 405 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: I've gathered all the information parts haven't done it yet. 406 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: Did you know at one point in the last fifty 407 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: sixty years, the drums were it's like, if you play 408 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: the drums, that ain't country. They weren't even allowed with 409 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: the grandel opery the drums, and there was a whole 410 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: group of people that are like, the drums aren't country. 411 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: That ain't country. Using drums that any country, and it 412 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: is slowly transition. The first time they plugged in a 413 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: still guitar, they were like, no, no, no, that there's 414 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: you can't plug in a store guitar that any country. 415 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: Wayland Jennings, well, how he dresses, you know what, it's 416 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: messages that ain't country. And you can go if talked 417 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: to Garth Guards that people told him that he sucked. 418 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: He wasn't country, Sam Hunt, he says that, And just 419 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: because it's a little different doesn't mean it's not country. 420 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: And in five years we'll look back and be like, yeah, 421 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: Samhlans country. I don't know what this guy here is 422 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: on the hoverboard that also yodels in this song that 423 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: ain't country, But then it will be. So you get it, 424 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: all right? Give me another question, Tyler, Yeah, just to 425 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: kind of add on to that. That's what really drew 426 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: me to the genre in the first place, how it's 427 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: constantly evolving and something like the seventies might not sound 428 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, it might sound completely different from something today, 429 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: but it's all revolving around lyrical storytelling and and but anyway, yeah, 430 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: my second question, I'll make it a quick loan. It's 431 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: about the books that you've written. I actually have your 432 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: first book that you wrote. Um, I really enjoyed it, 433 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: and unfortunately I haven't been able to get the second one. 434 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: Failing to you don't and I know that you've written 435 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: the children's books about Stanley. My question was, do you 436 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: think that writing is something that you plan on continuing? 437 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: And then also any what initially inspired you to begin writing? Well, 438 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: first of all, thank you for reading that book. I'm 439 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: gonna send you a copy.

I don't think I'm very good 445 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 1: at writing. I think I'm fine. I think I can 446 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: Like I don't think people like my writing. I think 447 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: people hopefully like my message. And like where I come from, 448 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna win any writing awards, so do I 449 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I didn't want to write 450 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 1: the second book I wrote the first one. I couldn't 451 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 1: believe of such a success. And they said, hey, we're 452 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: gonna pay to write another one, and I knew why 453 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: not because they cared what I wrote, but just because 454 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: people bought it. I was like, I don't want to 455 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: write one just to write a second book, and so 456 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: I didn't for years, and they were like, come on, 457 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: let's let's give you some money. I was like, man, 458 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: I don't want the money because I would rather, you know, 459 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: not get paid a little now. And I didn't want 460 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: to put out crap and have to be ashamed of 461 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: it and be like, dang already and I already spent 462 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: the money that would have been in my mind like 463 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: the book wasn't good and I already spent the money, 464 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: and now this book is still out there. I don't 465 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: want to be embarrassed about it forever. So I didn't 466 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: write it. I didn't write a second book forever. And 467 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: then I did a TED talk. They said, hey, will 468 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: you come and speak what would you speak on? And 469 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: I said, well, I would do a talk on winning 470 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: by losing. They were like, what do you mean? Well? 471 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: I was like, well, all the losses, all the setbacks 472 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: you have actually teaches you. And if you're able to 473 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: hang in there through the losses and through the setbacks, 474 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: like that's where you're gaining information and gaining your strength. 475 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: People don't realize that though they're they're actually winning by losing. 476 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: And they were like, what's interesting what you give that talk. 477 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: And so I don't know if I've revealed this before, 478 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: but wrote it and I had might indeed draw the 479 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: images for that Ted talk. And if you go watch 480 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: the if you go watch the YouTube video, you see 481 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: me flicking through the pictures and I'm like, hey, here's 482 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: this picture, here's this picture. And one of the words, 483 00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: remember the word, what's the success whatever the word was, 484 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 1: might misspelled the word. We didn't even notice it till 485 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: like six months later, and I think people just thought 486 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: that I was messing up the world on purpose, because 487 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of my brand to just be unapologetically dumb 488 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: in a smart way. I even that it just made 489 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: up real quick. People go yeah, yeah, yeah. But there 490 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: was a big misspelling on the slide that's ten feet 491 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: tall over my head. And I messaged Mike the YouTube 492 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: video and I went, hey, uh, I think you misspelled it. 493 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: And I missed you misspelling that, and it's up there 494 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: and it's a big misspelled word. And nobody ever really 495 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: caught us. Yeah, they didn't even when they saw the slides, 496 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: didn't a check off said anything. So I don't know. 497 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: I think the Stanley book is gonna be good. We 498 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: just okayed the cover yesterday. The process with that is 499 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: it's so much drawing, and I don't draw. The same 500 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: reason Mike draw the pictures through the pictures for my 501 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: Ted Talk. I don't draw at all. I'm terrible at drawing, 502 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: And so I wrote the story kind of gave guidance 503 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: to what I wanted the pictures to look like. But 504 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: my illustrator is so good, but it takes a long 505 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: time to get those pictures right. And so that's why 506 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna not gonna be till next year, untill the 507 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: book comes out. Um. I told Caitlin two. I was like, hey, 508 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: it's a kid's book. We try hurry up and have 509 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: a kid, oh like at the same time have a 510 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: kid in a book at the same time. Like what 511 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: a release that would be like a kind of a 512 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: double feature. How do you feel about that? She didn't 513 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: much care for that, that that plan. She thought, you know, 514 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: we should have a kid whenever we were ready to 515 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: have a kid, and not base it around a kid's 516 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: book coming out. Yeah. I was like, well, if we 517 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: have a release date, we can go back. You know, 518 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: we can even be a month early. Okay, you can 519 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 1: hold it in you know, um, but who knows.

I'm I've put here on 529 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: Facebook because I'm a middle school sure, and they try 530 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: to find my social media constantly. So I used my 531 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: childhood nickname on my Facebook for friends and family, and 532 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: then Teresa is my official name. Well, let me officially 533 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: say Teresa to your official name. Thank you for being here. 534 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: And you are on your classroom right now? Is its 535 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: school over? Yes? It ended at four fifteen, so I 536 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: didn't literally so I didn't have time to go home. 537 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: So I'm just doing for my classroom. And so how 538 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: was school today? It was good. This year is kind of, 539 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, crazy, because I'm still teaching partially virtual, partially blended, 540 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: and partially in person. So it's it's been crazy and 541 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, but it was good. 542 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: It's as good as the last two weeks school can be. 543 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: And how long have you been teaching school? This is 544 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: my eight year? Wow? Did uh? Was the last year 545 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: just a crazy challenge for you? Was it so hard 546 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: or did you kind of get in to it and 547 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: understand the virtual part of it quicker than you thought? 548 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: I think both. It was you know, suddenly thrown out, 549 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,959 Speaker 1: thrown out us and the kids were learning with us, 550 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: so we made a lot of mistakes the kids, or 551 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: it gave us the ability to understand that the kids 552 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: needed great because we also needed great. So I think 553 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: it was a good kind of mindset for us. Reality checks. 554 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: Are you guys having to like double teach now though, 555 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: because maybe they miss some stuff last year? Or are 556 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: you still on the same the same sort of stuff 557 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: you'd be doing periods. We're still on the same stuff 558 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: that we would have been doing period But I think 559 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: next year, it's going to next year is going to 560 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: really be the here that we're going to have to 561 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: fill in a lot of gaps. All right, Well, I 562 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: commend you for your work. Dang, I could never be 563 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: a teacher. M Okay, Teresa, what would you like to ask? Okay? 564 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: So my first question was obviously for I was thinking 565 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: about my students book can I ask me to that 566 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: would benefit them? And I was like, what advice would 567 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: you give to eighth grader? You know, especially my schools 568 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: were fairly low and from school. Um it's a title one, 569 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: so I'm thinking, like what can you do? But then 570 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, I've been listening to you since I was 571 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: in middle school. So I'm like he was gonna say, 572 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: show a fun time, trying trying to until your successful, 573 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: like all these things, and I was like, well I 574 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: could tell them that. So my question is more from 575 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: a teacher perspective, like did you have a teacher who 576 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: was really influential to you? And like what made them 577 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: so memorable to you? So that I can you know 578 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: how to point is for my kids ask someone who 579 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: came from you know, like the lower school to someone 580 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: of great success. What was that teacher like for you? Well, 581 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: let me answer your first question that you didn't ask 582 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: a little as well in eighth grade and you can't 583 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: tell them this probably, but I would tell them to 584 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: deodoran is so important, Like it's way more important than 585 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: than you're giving it credit for because in sixth seventh 586 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: eighth grade you don't really evalue it because the smell. 587 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: But some kids hasn't come on at all. Some people 588 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: kids don't even know. You know this trace I mean 589 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: and me I grew up, I was kind of a 590 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: dirty kid just because we couldn't always clean our clothes. 591 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: So I would just if you wear deodor, And I 592 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: would also tell them if they need help, ask for it, 593 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: because people will help you. Like sometimes you get embarrassed 594 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: to ask for help, but if you literally need help, 595 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: people will help you because if they know what your 596 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,239 Speaker 1: goal is, they can help you do that. If they 597 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: don't know, they can't help you do that. So if 598 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: you're struggling or if you want to do more, I 599 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: would just say ask. I say that to adults too, 600 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: like you want help and something, ask for it. I 601 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: love to help people, and sometimes I don't know who 602 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: wants help and I'm over here, like dang, I would 603 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: have love to have helped you. I could, But same 604 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: with me. As I've gotten older, I realize that if 605 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: I have a goal or I want something, I let 606 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: people know my goal and maybe they do nothing, maybe 607 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: they care none. I'm at the same place that they 608 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: care none. But if they happen to care a little bit, 609 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: that's amazing. That's a bonus. That's a restep that I 610 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: get to have. So that's what I would say to 611 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: answer the first one. But you're right, I would have 612 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: thaw all that other flobber jabber. First, Um, what was 613 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: the second part of a question? What the second part 614 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: of question? What was the teacher that was? Okay, I'm 615 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: glad you asked. Um. I had a teacher I won't 616 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: say her name, and it's they're influential in two different ways. 617 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: But she told me that I will never be on 618 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: the radio because I have an accent, and I talked 619 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: to you fast, I don't have a good radio voice, 620 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: and our being a like tenth grade going, what are 621 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 1: you talking about? Even if that's true, why are you 622 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: telling me this. You're trying to shut down my dreams. 623 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: We did a play and I was the voice of 624 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: some cat and she was like, and you want to 625 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: be on the radio. You're not a good speaker. And 626 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, even if you think that's true, 627 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: I remember thinking this, why would you tell me that? 628 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: Right now? In my impressionable years, and so I don't 629 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: think that she was saying that to keep me out 630 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: of chasing my dream. But I don't think she should 631 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: have said it because I was a tenth grader trying 632 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: to find my place. So that really hit me in 633 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: a weird, bad way. And I still remember that and 634 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: that you should never tell people what they can't do, 635 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 1: help them do what they want to do what they 636 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: can do. And as far as a teacher, that taught 637 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: me the most, I mean my head football coach was 638 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: coach Vick Gandoff, and it wasn't so much classroom but 639 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: it was you know, him always being able if needed 640 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: to after school at football practice to be able to 641 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: be hey, can I ask a couple of questions? Can 642 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: I you know, you spend a little extra time with 643 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: me for practice or heck even at times history he 644 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: taught history. I was like, hey, I'm struggling little bit 645 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: here because I wasn't paying attention. Is what is this? 646 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: It was just availability was such a thing, but also 647 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: not just he was available that he let it be 648 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: known he was available. And for someone that didn't have 649 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 1: any consistency in his life, that wasn't mean growing up, 650 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: no consistency whatsoever, if it was food or clothes or 651 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: money or sometimes living situations, for there to be a 652 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: consistent influence and at times you'd be annoyed like a 653 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: kid it you're available, like you'll leave me alone. That 654 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: to me was massive. It wasn't somebody go reach your 655 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: dreams kid. That didn't happen where I was from, but 656 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: it was him going, hey, if you need me, I'm here. 657 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: And also you're doing great, but also at times you're 658 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: doing terrible. So I trusted the fact that he could 659 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: tell me when I wasn't doing well. That meant I 660 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: trusted him when he told me I was doing well. 661 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: So I would say that being especially with a school 662 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: like you teach like you're at, those kids aren't whole 663 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: lot of consistency and having someone that can be there 664 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: for them consistently, even if it's just a you know, 665 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: a teacher at school going hey, if you guys needn't 666 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: need me, like and you're struggling, you're hurting, I'm here. 667 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: You don't have to come, you'll have to talk to me, 668 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: but I'm just here. So I would say that, Um, 669 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: I think it's been one of the hardest parts about 670 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: being virtual and I can't see there for my students 671 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: like I normally am. So that is one of the 672 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,719 Speaker 1: hardest parts. Well, you just teaching, is I mean? And caring? 673 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: I would think there And I know this because I 674 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: know some teachers that after six, seven, eight, nineteen years 675 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: you start to get a bit jaded by the whole 676 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: thing and not care as much. So that you even 677 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: asked that question shows you still care. So I just 678 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: I think that's fantastic. So thank you for asking that question. 679 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: Thank you. So my next question is more because um so, 680 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: I if I were to compare you and Kaitlin, you 681 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: were a TV show couple. Just from what I've heard. 682 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: In my mind, I picture Leonard a day from the 683 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: big thing Herey, if you were to compare yourself yourself 684 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 1: is a couple? Do a TV show couple? Why would 685 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: you choose for yourself? Well, that's funny, but I don't. 686 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: I don't like that one. Why not because I don't 687 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: want to be a Leonard. That's funny though I'll hell 688 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: out of that. She'll think that's funny. Chandler and Monica 689 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: maybe in a way, you know, but I like that, 690 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,959 Speaker 1: but also with I mean, Monica's pretty funny. But Kaylin 691 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: is so much funnier than I am. She's for everything 692 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: that I've been celebrated or rewarded for. She's better at it, 693 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: which just sucks sometimes because I'm like, oh, it does 694 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: doing this it was really funny. She's like, oh, what 695 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: if you'd have done this, it had been funnier, And 696 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, God, you're right. Um, But she just doesn't 697 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: have the need to let the world see it all 698 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: the time. Um, She's not, you know, screaming to get it. 699 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: And we talk about this, and I mentioned this on 700 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: the show before that she grew up in a very 701 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: loving home, so she doesn't need to go out and 702 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: chase the love in other places. Her parents love her, 703 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: they're still together, she's very close with them, or her 704 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: brother or sister like they are. It is just quite 705 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: the nucleus there. It's so foreign for me to go 706 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: and see and do um. Where I was in a 707 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: situation I didn't I didn't have a lot of love 708 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: at home. I didn't have a lot of people that 709 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: were there for me, and that told me they loved me. 710 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: So at a young age, I started chasing love through 711 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: performance and then if I was funny enough people would go, yeah, 712 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: we clap, and I was like, oh, they like me, 713 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: and then they clap a lot, Oh they love me. 714 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 1: So then I would get on the radio and I'll 715 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: go tell jokes and I would do this and that, 716 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,400 Speaker 1: and so I chase love that way. But she's so funny. 717 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,439 Speaker 1: She doesn't care about getting love from it. That she's 718 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: just naturally that where I obviously do. I'm getting better 719 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: at it. That has always been what I thrived was 720 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: finding love in other places. I'm getting a little better 721 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 1: at finding love at home now. I even told her that. 722 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: I was like, hey, I'm I don't I still care. 723 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: I want to be extremely successful. I don't care to 724 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: be famous anymore. I think there was a time when 725 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: it was like, I don't know how I'm gonna do it. 726 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be famous. I like to be successful 727 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: because I like to prove it can be done. Like 728 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: I like a wall. I like for someone to tell 729 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: me there's no way for you to get down the 730 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: side of that wall, And I'm like, all right, well, 731 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 1: let's see if I can climb it. Nope. All right, 732 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: let's see if I can walk through it. Nope. Okay, 733 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: let's say if I can burn it down like I 734 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,479 Speaker 1: like trying to figure out how to how to accomplish things. 735 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: So it's probably penny and that's what sucks. Like as 736 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: the more I think about it, the more you're right 737 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: on that sucks. Um, But that's that's that's actually a 738 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: funny question. All right.
