11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't believe how quickly this year went by.

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: I tend to say that about a lot of things,

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: like things just go by quickly, but this year literally

14
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: flew right by, really really did. And it's a very

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: cliche thing to say, but it's true. I know, And

16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: I just I was sitting here the other day and

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: I just I was thinking about like things throughout the

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: year that I was anticipating doing and the anxiety I

19
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: was getting and they're all over with, and I'm like, wow,

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I wasted so much time worrying about things that are

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: they're done and they're gone, and we have a new

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: year ahead of us. So I am praying that twenty

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: twenty two is better for everyone. Way I do too. Yeah,

24
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean it seems like this last surge was a

25
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: little little Craig Craye for the holidays. I saw testing

26
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: centers with lines wrapped around the corner, police officers dictating

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: traffic flow. We were literally at we were out to

28
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: eat at Longhorn, you know the steakhouse. Yeah, out back

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: style steakhouse. Plase and uh it's he's on a hill

30
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: and it was looking down and it was looking right

31
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: on one of those like urgent care places, and the

32
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: line was wrapped around their building and up the street

33
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: into a parking lot of of a supermarket. Gosh, you

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: know what's crazy. I'm not gonna mention names, but I

35
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: have a friend who felt sick right went to his primary.

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: They said, oh you have you have the new variant

37
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: go quarantine. Never took a test, Okay, I said, I said,

38
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: how does he know? Oh my gosh, how are they

39
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: The people are just saying they're positive and they're not

40
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: even taking tests. They did the Johnny Parson they did

41
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: like they put the thing up in there. They said

42
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: to myself, good cord yet, I mean, you could have

43
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: a cold for all you know, are the flu there

44
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: right away? Oh you have COVID? Come on. Yeah, there

45
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: was some stat I saw. It was like of like this,

46
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: the hundred in sixty thousand cases they reported, and like

47
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: a certain span of time, it was really only like

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: nineteen thousand. I just it's a nightmare. I just wish

49
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: all of this would be over, you know, just go away,

50
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: get out of here, get out of here. Well, we

51
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: survived Christmas, we survived the New Year. Well, yeah, it's

52
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: technically pre New Year's Eve as we're talking. But let's

53
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: go back a little bit. We didn't get to talk

54
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: after Christmas. So how was your Christmas? How the kids

55
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: like their stuff? Oh? The Christmas was wonderful. It was

56
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: really a it was a great it's great, great holiday.

57
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: I can't say it wasn't filled with joy. It was.

58
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: It was fantastic. If you recall, I did attend a

59
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: wedding the week before Christmas that I was dreading. Yes,

60
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: that I was dreading. But you know, I have to

61
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: say it's not that I had a bad time. It

62
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: was the anxiety of the trip that was really getting

63
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: to me. It was the drive from Virginia to Connecticut

64
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: that was really like kind of hanging over me. Now

65
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: we did not have the children. The children stayed with

66
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: their grandparents. My uncle who's a faithful listener of the show,

67
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: and his family stayed with us on both ends of

68
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: the trip. So coming from Florida, they came to us

69
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: the day before we all left, and the day we

70
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: left Connecticut they came back and stayed with us. Great

71
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: time with them, so much fun. We got the open

72
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Christmas presents with them a few days early. We always

73
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: have to do it via pictures and video, you know,

74
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: and it was nice to experience that. But I think

75
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: my anxiety was the trip and the drive and the

76
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: drive there led up that held up to the hype

77
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: of going that was horrible. Was it worse than us

78
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: driving to Albany? Yes, it was because not only was

79
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: it an immense amount of traffic. Remember when you just

80
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: went up to Rhode Island, it was basically the same route.

81
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: So all those those traffic spots in New York to

82
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 1: George Washington Bridge, even getting off in Fort Lee, New Jersey,

83
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: like just the traffic mixed with like a misty very

84
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: annoying rain. And it was seven eight o'clock or so

85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: six seven o'clock on a Saturday, traffic rain, my windshow wipers.

86
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it needed to be changed, so it

87
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: was streaky. I couldn't see the road. It was so bad,

88
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: and it took forever to get there that by the

89
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: time we were there, it was like, there's the bar

90
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: eggs in the room, and we went right to the bar.

91
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: Tell me about it. I would have done the same thing,

92
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But at least you once you got there,

93
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 1: you had a good time because you were actually dreading

94
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: the wedding. I was. I was because I was in

95
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: the wedding right, so I was dreading it, and I

96
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: had an okay time. I'm not going to say had

97
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: the greatest time in the world. I had an okay time.

98
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't really know the groomsman. It was

99
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: my cousin who who's so my family tier. He would

100
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: be technically under me in age. He's there's a seven

101
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: year difference, not a lot, obviously, but you know his

102
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: buddies were all like these young you know, like upstart

103
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: career guys. You know, I was like the veteran of

104
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: the crew, but you know, once they found out what

105
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: I do, it was a million questions about podcasting stuff, wrestlers, autografts.

106
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: You know, so your name might have been mentioned a

107
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: couple of times throughout the day. Yeah, you know, I

108
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: was definitely talking about my experiences talking about WWE because

109
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: drove by the building, you know, all that good stuff

110
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: to get there. So it was it was okay the wedding.

111
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: The reception was better. Obviously, had a big contingent of

112
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: family there. My Grandma was there out on the dance

113
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: floor chopping it up. So it was that part of

114
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: it was fun. And then Lizzen and I got to

115
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time together driving and laughing. That

116
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: was my favorite part. Good. Well, I'm happy it worked

117
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: out for you. I knew you were dreading it, but

118
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: I was hoping that you would have a positive that

119
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: came out of it. So it sounds like you did. Yeah.

120
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: And you know, how was your lead up into Christmas?

121
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: Because I know, you know, the week before you had

122
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff going on too. So yeah, so

123
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: the Christmas here was very quiet and very nice. We

124
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: no family, just us, just the five of us, my

125
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: whole family of course, got together. They have been getting

126
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: together all through COVID, but you know, because of my

127
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: mom and traveling and getting her to and from, it

128
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: wasn't worth going for just a day to see them

129
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: because it takes a lot out of her. So we

130
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: yopped it. And plus with with COVID, you know, I

131
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: especially now you know, being vaxxed, you could still carry it,

132
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: still pass it on. I didn't feel comfortable having her

133
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: in a room with like thirty people coming in and out,

134
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: and friends that I don't know that they would have

135
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: had invited, you know what I mean. It was just

136
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: it was too much. So we just stayed here and

137
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: we baked, and we got a ton of food, too

138
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: much food for five people. But I didn't cook at all.

139
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: We catered cause okay, why not. It's Christmas. So we

140
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: had it catered and it was nice, you know, and

141
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: and the kids woke up Christmas morning and at a

142
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: respectable time. It was like seven o'clock. I was wokay, yeah,

143
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: you were done. Yeah. I was like, this is great,

144
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: you know. And I think my daughter woke up at

145
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: like six thirty and I was like, well, we have

146
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: to wait because your brother's still sleeping, and then it

147
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: was like seven and I heard him running around. I

148
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: was like, okay, and you know, they opened their gifts,

149
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: we put stuff together and they just played all day

150
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: and it was just I sat there with my coffee

151
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: and just just relax, didn't have to run anywhere, stayed

152
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: in our pajamas all day, and it was Yeah, it

153
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: was one of those relaxes, peaceful days, and I love those,

154
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 1: you know, I love that time and I love spending

155
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: that time with just us. It was nice. No, that's great. Yeah,

156
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: we were up. We were at six, so not that

157
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: much before. Yeah, we had alarms set from what we

158
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: were instructed by the children, unless we're going to the airport,

159
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: we had six o'clock, I believe was the alarm set.

160
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: I woke up at six o three with anxiety because

161
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna get yelled at by the

162
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: children because you were minutes because I was three minutes late.

163
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I heard the little one ran into

164
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: older ones room and they were waiting together, and it

165
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: was it was great. But by seven o'clock we were done, well,

166
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: the kids were done, Me and Liz were We were

167
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: probably at our stuff at that point, but we didn't

168
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: have to leave until two o'clock, so we had a

169
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: good time to decompress and put stuff together. The Disney

170
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Princess Record Ralph Comfy Castle is what we put together.

171
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: You sent me a picture of that. Very nice, very nice,

172
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: and it's big. It actually is very spacious. Now did

173
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: you get this isn't Did you get this isn't the castle?

174
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: I wanted no, no, because that was a late addition

175
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: to the Christmas list. So it was. And when we

176
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: were up at the wedding, my mom went to so

177
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: where I have my IVY Exclusives office is this really

178
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: cool looking older building in the town of Warrenton, Virginia.

179
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: And inside the building they had this thing called what

180
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: was it? It was a gum drop Square. So there

181
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: was a back store that was transformed to like really

00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: Christmas land, you know, like they had decorations everywhere, but

00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: They had Santa Claus and the little ones who were

185
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: scampering around. They they didn't see any straps for a beard.

186
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: This was the real deal. This was the guy. And

191
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: about these kids. Kids are so observant, right they they

192
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,600

Speaker 1: But there's one at the mall, there's one on TV.

196
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: None of them look the same. No, these kids realize

197
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: what they have to. One place that we went, you know,

232
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: go with it. But he's in, He's fully in. I

233
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: was trying to like think when the last time, like

234
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: when I was there last and I swear it was

235
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: like four years ago, big event. You did a big

236
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: ECW reunion at the Big Event. And the reason I

237
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: know this is because when I was moving, I came

238
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: across a picturehow last time, well, one of the last

239
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: times I worked with saman in Philly. People come up

240
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: and they give you guys stuff all the time. Sometimes

241
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: it's left at the table. Sometimes it's you know, sam

242
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: Man goes, I don't want this stuff, just take it.

243
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: And it was like a portrait drawn of him. It

244
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: was like all this stuff and one of them is

245
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: this picture of you guys, it's you, Shane Raven, Jerry Lynn,

246
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: Saman like Saboo at the big event. It was a

247
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: big reunion. That's the last time you were there. So

248
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: what year was that? In had to be twenty seventeen.

249
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: I went, wow, Okay, so it's been a while so

250
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: New York. I don't get there much. Come out and

251
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: see me. Oh, I'm pumped. It's my first time I've

252
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: booked people there. You know, I've had my talent there.

253
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: John and I when we were doing shows together. John

254
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: would go because he lives closer. But I'm trying to

255
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: do one show a month in twenty twenty two. And oh,

256
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: thank you very much, Shopkins. Very cool. I'm trying to

257
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: do one show a month, and March is the third

258
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: month of the year. So I have booked the big

259
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: event with you, and it's gonna be It's gonna be

260
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: a good time. We're gonna have something good, very great.

261
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: It's very great. It's gonna be a great time. Well,

262
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: New York. We did Albany. Go elsewhere next, next trip,

263
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: Let's go somewhere else. You gotta get you to Virginia next.

264
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: That's enough. You know what I want to do, and

265
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: I think it would be wonderful for me and Shane together.

266
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: Is the Steel City Con in Pittsburgh, Yes, that's the

267
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: one I want to do April. Is that April? It's

268
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: in April. They just booked Chevy Chase as the headline. Well,

269
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: if they could have Chevy Chase Shane Francine on the

270
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: day is I would book that. I just every year.

271
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: I tell Shane, you know, we have to. I haven't

272
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: been in Pitts. I have good Lord, I don't think

273
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: I've done his signing in Pittsburgh since CCW. I would,

274
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: I would probably can. It's probably true. Yeah, I think

275
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: I need to go to Pittsburgh. So I think that

276
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: that's a no brainer we should look into I will

277
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: look into that later on today and let you know

278
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: what I can see. I have my thoughts about it,

279
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: so we'll talk later on. When you say that there's

280
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: a negative negative, it's just a perhaps an inquisitive question

281
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: as it relates to the calm itself. Write it down

282
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: because you're gonna forget. Write it down right now, Write

283
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: it down right now, because you will write it down.

284
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: But yes, but I'm just saying, close out Christmas. So

285
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: it goes by so fast, right, all that preparation, every

286
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, even though you guys had a chill one,

287
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: what do you feel like afterwards when it's over, It's

288
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: like all that preparation, now it's done. Here's how I

289
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: take it. Right. This year, I decorated early because of

290
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: Russell Caid. Okay, every year, I usually great the friday

291
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: or the weekend after Thanksgiving, but because Russel Kaid, this year,

292
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: I decorated the week before Thanksgiving, like the like, well,

293
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: not the week but Monday. I think it was before Thanksgiving.

294
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: So I had the decorations up an extra week this year.

295
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: Christmas night, I'm standing there and I'm looking at my

296
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: tree and I'm like, you're coming down. I can't take

297
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: it anymore. I'm done. I didn't even want to put

298
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: my lights on anymore. I was over it. I'm so

299
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: excited when I'm decorating because the holidays and it's coming up.

300
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: My sweetheart, she's in her heaven today. But as soon

301
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: as it was done, like everything's down here, I took

302
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: everything down on Tuesday. It's gone. I can't, I can't

303
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: be bothered. I'm done, holliays are over. What about the

304
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: superstition of taking it down before New Year's? Never heard

305
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: of that? So in there is a superstition. I forget

306
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: what it's called, but there's some like Catholic related superstition

307
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: about taking down your Is it? What the heck is it?

308
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: I can't I can't get it in my head at

309
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: the moment, church aren't really getting along right. Guy's got

310
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: heat right now, jeez. So I'm not really concerned about

311
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: what they say about taking my decorations down. Oh I

312
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: went to church, did you? I did. We went to

313
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve Mass. It's the first time in two years

314
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: that we've been to church sans COVID right right. People

315
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: wore masks. It was a mandatory and they did you know,

316
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: like and I never observed this before. Listen, I must

317
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: have not been paying attention, which could happen while I'm

318
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: at church. I tend to drift. But they made this

319
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: whole thing about like communions, like don't even bother getting

320
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: up if you're not Catholic and you haven't received your sacraments,

321
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: stay in your seat and politely move. What would you

322
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: get up if you, I guess people get up and

323
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: try to get contic I never I never thought that

324
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: it was like a free for all that like people

325
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: try to come up and get communion like unauthorized. I

326
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: was like, it would do that, Yeah, Like if you

327
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: haven't received communion, why would you go and get it?

328
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: Very odd, but COVID wise, very safe, very safe. Well here,

329
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: here's my stance. Now. I don't know if we talked

330
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: about this before, but my kids, well we've talked about

331
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: this part. My kids are now homeschooled, right, so they're

332
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: pulled from school. We do we do everything here. They

333
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: have not been in CCD Okay, okay, because when when

334
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: we pulled them, when COVID first started and we pulled them.

335
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: My daughter has received communion okay, and she's received reconciliation okay,

336
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: so the next the next thing for her would be confirmation,

337
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: which they get. I believe in eighth grade. Eighth grade, yep, Okay.

338
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,239
Speaker 1: Now when I was a kid, we got that in

339
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: fifth grade. Really yeah, I had it in fifth grade. Okay,

340
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 1: it's eighth grade for them. So she's in seventh grade

341
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: this year now. My son's in fourth grade. My son

342
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: never went to Catholic school because of his apraxia. He

343
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: was always in the public school system. He has yet

344
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: to receive reconciliation or communion. So we're not loving the

345
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: Catholic Church right now. But I want my kids to

346
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: get their sacraments. I feel like there's that little bit

347
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: inside me that's still that Catholic girl who says if

348
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: you don't get your sacrament, you're going to hell. And

349
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: there's right now, I will not be the reason that

350
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: my children are condemned later in life. Yes, whether it's

351
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: a true or not, whether you believe or you don't believe,

352
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: it's better to be safe than sorry. But there's a

353
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: part of me now we still you know, we still pray.

354
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: We teach them religion in their studies. You know, we

355
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: do Bible study, We teach them religion. We there's there's

356
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: still God in the house, right. We just haven't been

357
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: to church in a very long time. Part of me

358
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: misses it. Part of me wants to go back. But

359
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: then the other part of me looks at the way

360
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: the church is and what they're doing and the way

361
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: it's being run and all the backstage stories, and I'm

362
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: disgusted by it. There's a lot of stuff. It could

363
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: be a dark side of the ring. I'm not going on.

364
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: And I said to my husband, do we change, like, uh,

365
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what is it called. Do we not

366
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: be Catholic anymore? And changed to a different religion which

367
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I would be interested in,

368
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: like a non denominational place where you could just go like,

369
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: I like the happy churches where they sing and they

370
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: dance and they have a good time. That's fun. Catholic

371
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: church is very somber. It's very to me, it's very sad.

372
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: It's always like it's kind of like down, very down.

373
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: It's not very happy to do all this for when

374
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: you die. Basically, well, I told my husband we have

375
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: to find another church, and I want to get the

376
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: kids their sacraments and then when they're done that we'll

377
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: see where we're at, to which he replied he couldn't

378
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,479
Speaker 1: care less. Well, at least he's honest. He's so against

379
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church right now, and he grew up Catholic.

380
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: Alter boy, you know, his parents are devout Catholics. During

381
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: the church choir, my mother in law always calls me

382
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: and says, please come back to the Catholic Church. And

383
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I didn't really leave it. I'm still

384
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: kind of there, but I don't know. I don't know

385
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: what to do. I'm torn. That's an interesting quand I mean,

386
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: you know again, you're you're gonna do what you know. So,

387
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, growing up Catholic, you know what the stands for. Yeah,

388
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: it's true. Everything is sin. You do sound very much

389
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: a candidate for the non denominational churches, because even if

390
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: it's not something you want to pursue and you would

391
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: prefer to go back to the Catholic Church, this is

392
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: at least giving you that kind of like overall, look

393
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: at what else is out there though, I mean, look,

394
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: I know guys that are now pastors of these non

395
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: denominational churches who were raised Catholic or Presbyterian or whatever,

396
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: and they live and die by it. They love it.

397
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: They think it's the greatest thing. Ever, you might think

398
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: the same. I don't know, Like, I still have faith,

399
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, I pray in the morning. I pray when

400
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: I go to bed. Like I said, we teach our

401
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: kids to pray. They pray before dinner, they pray before bed.

402
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: In the morning, we all say good morning, got watch

403
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: over me. It's kind of we have faith in this house.

404
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: We're very spiritual. But I just don't know if I agree.

405
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: It's a it's a touchy it's a touchy subject. Yeah

406
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: it is. No, it's weird, it really is. I just

407
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: wish it was the same as when we were kids,

408
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: because when we were kids, I didn't know any better.

409
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: We went to church every single Sunday. We went to

410
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: church on holidays, We went to church on you know, holidays.

411
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Church was a big part of my life growing up

412
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: and now it's not. And there's that guilt that overcomes me.

413
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: But there's also the fear for my kids. And I

414
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: know some people are probably rolling their eyes listening to

415
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: me right now, and that's okay if you don't believe.

416
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: But when you people kind of tell me, when I

417
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: explain it, they kind of say, I was programmed. You're

418
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: programmed because the Catholic Church programs you into that little

419
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: robot who does whatever they tell them to do. And

420
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: you know, if you think back, it's kinda no, it is,

421
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: but you went to Catholic school, so it's even worse.

422
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: It was the Catholic school since kindergarten. That's even where

423
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I was CCD once a week for an hour,

424
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, like that's that's different from you have a

425
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: different perspective. Yeah, from kindergarten until twelfth grade, I went

426
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: to Catholic school. What's that? That's programming? And I you know,

427
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: I remember there's a priest that I had. His name

428
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: was Father Book of Fourny Old Italian man. He was

429
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: old when I was in grade school. He just died

430
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. God knows how old he was.

431
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: I have no clue. But he would come in and

432
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: our teacher's name was miss Carusy. I'll never forget, and

433
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: he would go over each uh commandment, like, but it

434
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: took him all year to do the ten Commandments because

435
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: all he did was talk talk, talk right. And he

436
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: would say, like, I think it was the one do

437
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: not covet your neighbors. What goods right? So, but he

438
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: would here's the analogy he used in this little Italian voice.

439
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: If you go into the store and you see a

440
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: candy bar and you say, ooh, I want that candy bar,

441
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: but you don't have any money. You have no money

442
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: for the candy bar, but you want the candy bar.

443
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: That is lust, that is in your heart. You are guilty.

444
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 1: And we're just sitting there like fifth grade, are you

445
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 1: kidding me? And so he would say all this stuff

446
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: and he would leave, and my teacher would walk and

447
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: this is a Catholic sool, she'd walk right back and

448
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: she'ld go, don't listen to her word. He said, what

449
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 1: we just wasted an hour with this guy. Then if

450
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: it's not true, you know what I mean, It's like

451
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: you don't know what to believe anymore. But I'll never forget.

452
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: I used to feel guilty. Look at a freaking candy

453
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: bar because I want that candy bar, but I can't

454
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: have it. Well, it's not. Church hasn't changed. It's the same.

455
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: It's the same. It's the same, little different. They put

456
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: that guilt in you. That's what I'm saying, Like, everything

457
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: is a sin. Remember the song the Pet Shop Boys,

458
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: It's a sin. Yeah, I looked that up the other

459
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: day because I was listening to it and I looked

460
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: it up. The lead singer, I don't remember his name,

461
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: but the lead singer wrote it because he was raised

462
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: Catholic and everything that he did was a sin. And

463
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: that's where that song originated from. A lot of stuff

464
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: is a sin. The video, I was like, I want

465
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: to know about this video. It's it's the Seven Deadly

466
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: Sins behind Closed Doors by yourself. When you think nobody's

467
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: watching is a sin, Yeah, like God's watching us all

468
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: the good Lord, don't do that, don't touch that. That's

469
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: a sin. Don't do that. Yeah. So it's the same

470
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: minus a couple of prayers have changed a little bit.

471
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: They've changed the verbiage, which I will haven't caught on too,

472
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: So like, no, I have to my head saying it

473
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 1: the other way. They've done it for years now, So

474
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: when I would go to church, I would have to

475
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: take up the laminated car because I had no clue

476
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: what they were talking about. I would have to read

477
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: what was on the card because it's way different from

478
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: when I went. Yeah, it's like instead of uh, we prayed,

479
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: or it's like now it's with it is right and

480
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: just and with your spirit, instead of we prayed to

481
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: the Lord Lord. Here of prayers, I don't it's something

482
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: like that. There's some differences. I can't remember. I gotta

483
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: be in the moments. I don't know, but I can't see.

484
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: And this is at the wedding. They weren't They did

485
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: the ceremony in the reception hall, but it was a

486
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Catholic priest who did it. And so I technically did

487
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: attend services twice in one week, kind of in a

488
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: reception hall which was beautiful on the a River in Connecticut.

489
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: But I'm saying it the other way in my head

490
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: because I remember that growing up. I'm not a vocal

491
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: guy at church. I listen and I'd say to myself,

492
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: and I got it all wrong, what's wrong? I would too.

493
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't if I walked in today, I wouldn't even

494
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: know what was going on. I'll be honest with you.

495
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: But I want these kids to have their sacraments. So

496
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: I need to talk to a priest. And also this

497
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: is morbid, but with my mom, I need God forbid

498
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: something happens. I need someone for last rights. Yeah, they

499
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: won't turn you away for that. They won't. They will come.

500
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: They will honor that. Especially. I can just call a

501
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: random church and say, hey, if all right, if you're home, yeah,

502
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: you can call whatever your church. They will come. They

503
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: will not. And if you're not a member of the church,

504
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: they will not. They will come. No Catholic priest will come.

505
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: Same thing. If you're in a hospital, they will. They

506
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: will have somebody come as long as you call the

507
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: hotline and they'll get somebody there. Well the hospital, if

508
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: it's Catholic hospital, I know there's priests that come in

509
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: and give communion. Because my mom was receiving community. Here's

510
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: my question to you. This is an interesting question. Okay,

511
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: if you die in a car accident or a burning building,

512
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: or I don't know, somebody shoot you murder and you

513
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: didn't get your last rights? Does does God say and

514
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: you can't come in here? They probably have some sort

515
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: of prayer that they would say at a service that

516
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: I guess would suffice. How do you get that if

517
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: you got for bid die in a fire or a

518
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: wreck or yeah, I would think that there's some sort

519
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: of workaround prayer that they have for moments of clarity

520
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: between the priests and they said departed. I always wonder that.

521
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's got to be like an exemption for

522
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: these people. I got a good one. I almost got

523
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: to fight at church, okay over peace trouble. Well, so

524
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: that was the thing. So when it came to no, no, no,

525
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't that no no, it was something else. But

526
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: when it came to peace to be with you, you you

527
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: were just like, hello, Hi, you know what anyone is?

528
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: Anybody shaking hands? They some people did. We were we

529
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: were just like we did like the princess wave like

530
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: because that was my first question was what do we do?

531
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Kiss a piece? And list is like, I don't know,

532
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you do anything. But we looked around

533
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: and there were some people and honestly, the only the

534
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: people in front of us turned around. I looked back

535
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: at the lady behind me, and she didn't even look

536
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: at me. They were like yeah, they were like, oh

537
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: my god, no, my fight almost came in the parking lot. Ah, yeah,

538
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: it was okay. So our church is older church, so

539
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: the parking isn't the greatest. But they have a hill

540
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: that goes down to where the school is, where CCD is,

541
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: and there's a lot down there. Two years ago I

542
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: got blocked in in one lot. Three years ago, I

543
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: got blocked in and was furious because they know the

544
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 1: guy didn't come out for like a half hour, and

545
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: I was going nuts. That fucked in. So I'm like,

546
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: smart guy, this is ain't gonna happen. I'm gonna get

547
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: a spot right on the end where I could just

548
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: right out of the parking lot. We got there early enough,

549
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: so they're directing people in and it's dude with cones

550
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: and I looked down the hill and in the spots

551
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: down the hill by the school, there's nobody there. There's

552
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: not one car in the lot. I say, hey, can

553
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: I go down there and he goes, yeah, yeah, go

554
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: right ahead. I go awesome down the hill, pull in

555
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: spy right on the end. So when I'm the smart guy,

556
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: I can pull right out of the lot. All of

557
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, I see this dude like pointing like on

558
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: the other side, like pointing at me, waving his cone

559
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: and he sends this like younger guy, like probably like

560
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: late teens up to me and I see him coming

561
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: and I just stick my head out the window and

562
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, is there a problem? And he goes yeah.

563
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: He's like, why did you park down here? I was like,

564
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: the guy up there told me that I can come

565
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: down here. He's like, well, you know, we're not sure

566
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: what the parking arrangement's gonna be, so you can't park here.

567
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's nobody in the lot. I go, that's

568
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: gonna be filled in five minutes. Can I just leave

569
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: the car here? He goes, yeah, that's fine whatever. I

570
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: closed the door. The guy down the way is still

571
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: with his arm in the air, is pointing. He's screaming,

572
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: and he starts walking up and he's like, you can't park.

573
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm blocking you in. You can't park there. I go,

574
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: do you think I parked here because I just picked it.

575
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: I go. The guy up there said come down here,

576
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: and you can. You kind of picked it. I said,

577
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: can I park down there? Say yes? I didn't say hey,

578
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: I just go right down. I said, can I part?

579
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: He said yes. If he said no, I would have

580
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: gone okay and right into one of the spots up

581
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: at the top. He goes, I'm blocking you in. I go,

582
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: do you think I I just picked this on my own?

583
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: I said. The guy said I could come down here.

584
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: He goes, well, too bad. You're getting blocked in no

585
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: matter what. And I'm like, dude, I go, it's Christmas Eve.

586
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: I go, I'm anticipating traffic. I'll go this car sitting here,

587
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: it's fine. He goes, Nope, you're getting blocked and I

588
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: don't care, you know whatever. So I so this other

589
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: guy comes down the hill. He goes, sir, he's like,

590
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm really sorry. He goes, I don't know

591
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: why this guy is talking to you like this. He said,

592
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: you can leave the car here. It's fine. I said no,

593
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: I'll go back and park up the hill because if

594
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna block me in purposely, I go, that's

595
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: a real crap Catholic Christian thing to do on Christmas Eve.

596
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: I go, screw this guy. I'm going I'll go back

597
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: and park where he wants me to park, just to

598
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: make him happy. Right, So I go back up parking

599
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: a spot. When we come out of church, you're blocked in. Nope,

600
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 1: five cars in the lot down the hill. Nobody was

601
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: in the lot, nobody came. Church was poorly attended, So

602
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: I wonder why he wouldn't let you park there. He

603
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: was just being a dick. He was just being a

604
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: power hungry dick with a parking cone, like you know.

605
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: But it's like, it's Christmas Eve, I'm just parking. You

606
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: could see why I would park down there, right, But

607
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: like the five ten minutes it took to then go

608
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: through all that stuff and for this guy to be

609
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: on some sort of like uh parking control power trip

610
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: was very It's just very unnerving. And it's like, you know,

611
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: I had to go in and then I'm like all

612
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: flushed and I'm all ticked off, and I'm settling into church,

613
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: and I said to Liz, I'm like I can't I

614
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: can't go anywhere. The trouble follows me wherever I go

615
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting in a fight with a parking attendant. That's great.

616
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: I like that story. It's good times. But yeah, and

617
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: then and then and then you go in and the

618
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: somber mood just bridge and then every thing it was

619
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000

Speaker 1: hell for and you know it's a and then oh,

621
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: then this is great. So then you know, we have

622
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: a little one obviously think about it. She hasn't been

Speaker 1: to church in two years, so etiquette being what it is,

624
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: there's this little girl in front of us with like

625
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,719

645
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: So are you had to be bullied around by that

646
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: cone cop? It's just like why do we need that?

647
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what I mean, Like it's Christmas,

648
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: you see, there's always traffic. There's always parking problems. Oh

649
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: we're also now the leave after communion people because I

650
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: don't want to get stuck in traffic. We used to

651
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: be them too, sometimes he did, or or I would

652
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: place myself like right in the back of the church

653
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: because you have to wait until the priest walks by

654
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: you or else you look like a dick. Like you

655
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: know how the priest gives the blessing and then he

656
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: starts to if you leave while he's walking down the Yeah,

657
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:20,919
Speaker 1: biggest asshole ever got to do. The old you gotta

658
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: get out of there takes forever, go go, go, And

659
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: then you're running out and we get through the back door, right,

660
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: we're just about to leave, and then my older ones

661
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: like I have to go to the bathroom. We're like,

662
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: oh what, just gotta go there. But then you don't

663
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: get the blessing. You don't get the final blessing. So

664
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: my mom used to be like, look, we have to

665
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: say we need the final blessing. And I'm like seriously,

666
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 1: So that's when I would position myself like on the end,

667
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: on the last queue, so that as soon as we

668
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: get the blessing, we just dart. We're out, grab the

669
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: little paper, you know, and just yeah, just get out

670
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: of here. And I grabbed one, so my wife didn't

671
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: have the ground one, so we can just get out

672
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: of there. Yeah we have two. Now, Well, my mom

673
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: keeps saying, you know, you should go back. It would

674
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: be nice if we go back, and I'm like, listen, lady,

675
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: you can barely walk up the steps. How the hell

676
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: are you going to get the church? She goes, well,

677
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: it would be a nice thing. I say, it would

678
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: be nice, but it's not happening, so just keep watching

679
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: it on TV like you do. And then she watches

680
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 1: it on TV. Takes an hour and a half because

681
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: the guy just talks. Yeah, those guys are Those guys

682
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: are pontificating. They just love to hear themselves talk about

683
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: the same She goes, he repeats over and over again.

684
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you know you can't fast forward it

685
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: if you want to, but I just sit there in

686
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: my brain just goes, you're thinking about fifty one time

687
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: I was thinking about my mom. My mom said, I'm

688
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: thinking about the Godfather or Good fella Maybe it was

689
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: Good Fellas. She goes, the F word keeps going through.

690
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: I thought she meant the Godfather, the wrestler. No, no, no,

691
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm joking. I think we had just watched Goodfellas.

692
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: And she goes, oh my god. They keep saying f

693
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: and I go what. She goes, They're saying the F

694
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: word over and over in my brain. I go, my,

695
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: you're in church because I know I can't get it

696
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: out of my head. Wow, that's such a weird thing

697
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: to have in your head during church. I watched it

698
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: the night before or something I did, like business strategizing.

699
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about my next calendar year, like where am

700
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: I going? What am I doing that? Every day that's

701
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: always cycling through this brain of mine. How am I

702
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: going to make another dollar? What am I going to do?

703
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,359
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this could be the greatest year ever.

704
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: I got all this stuff going, and then the next

705
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: day I'm like, what was I thinking about last night?

706
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: I didn't write it down. Well, I have to think

707
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: of something because these kids are going to get their

708
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: sacraments by hook or crook. I'm getting it done and

709
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: then we will decide. How about you called Devon? He's

710
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: a reverend, right, he's a reverend, but he's not Catholic.

711
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: That can't help me. He could just come in and

712
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: do the old testify. Yeah, I need a Catholic priest.

713
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: And I want to do CCD from my house. I

714
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 1: don't want the kids to have to go and sit

715
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: with other kids want I want to do it here,

716
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: which I think people are doing whom season, Oh yes,

717
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: yes they are. There's a whole online program. Yes see,

718
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: I want to do that. I don't know we have

719
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: we had to do even though we still attended classes,

720
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: they still made us do the online portion, which I

721
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: thought was I have no idea because you know how

722
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: the Catholics are, they just make it up as they

723
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: go along. So she had Maddie to do both. Liz

724
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: ended up doing half of it. And it's like, you know,

725
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: come on, but I think you have to go to

726
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: some like course to be a yeah whatever they call it.

727
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: But I think you have to go to some course,

728
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 1: but you probably can. Is it bad if I wait

729
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: until the new like the new school year to do this.

730
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: Now this year's half over, and you know nobody's half over.

731

Speaker 1: We have to. That's creeping up up, it's creeping yeah.

736
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,360

759
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: do a million different things if they want, and anyway

760
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: you want to make your voice heard. It's great, you know,

761
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: because the fun of with doing the extra shows, and

762
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: this is the what I always love about doing the Patreon.

763
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: I've always said is some of my favorite stuff I've

764
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: ever done is on our Patreon because it's solosey goosey, right,

765
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: I know, the drinking shows ridiculous, right, the watch along stuff,

766
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: people want to hear you talking about old ECW stories

767
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: sometimes that pop in your brain as we're watching stuff.

768
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: That's the only place you're going to hear it. Yeah,

769
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: because I don't remember anything unless you show me something

770
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, this is what so so did

771
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: this and blah blah blah. So all the juicy stuff

772
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: is in the Patreon episodes, but we might you know,

773
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: pull one or two here and there and then have

774
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: new content. So if there is what I was thinking,

775
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: because this, you know, our main show is all over

776
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: the place, we talk about everything. For the second show,

777
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: I would like to just focus on one topic, yeah,

778
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 1: and just discuss it until we can't discuss it anymore

779
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: for you know, for that hour or however long we talk.

780
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,919
Speaker 1: So if there's anything that you're interested on our take

781
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: leave a comment and let us know what you want

782
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: to hear and we can tackle it for you. Yeah,

783
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: we're going to do that, and then we'll sprinkle in

784
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: some of our extra content, Like I said, the quizzes,

785
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 1: the watch alongs and stuff like that. But when we

786
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: post the new show, the hot Take. It's going to

787
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: be focused on one single topic. Yes, you might not

788
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:52,440
Speaker 1: like it. You might not like what you hear, you

789
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: might not agree, might agree. No, that's the beauty of

790
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: these things. I get to say whatever the hell I

791
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: want and you either agree or you don't agree. So

792
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: which leads us to what's going on on Patreon? What's

793
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: going on this week? This week I will start with

794
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: the watch along, which is the end of our Patreon week.

795
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: I've been talking about this for a while. I found

796
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,479
Speaker 1: finally a good one that we can dive through because

797
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: it's like eight minutes long. The pulp fiction Homo from

798
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: September tenth, nineteen ninety six. You, you and Shane lead

799
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: it off. Oh, I've probably said two words, if not no,

800
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: this one, you didn't. That's why I'm keeping I ever do.

801
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: That's the that's the funny part. No, this one talk No.

802
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: You say a lot in this one. Yeah, yeah, this

803
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: is a big moment in the early stages of your

804
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: partnership with Shane. So this is yeah, this is a

805
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: great one. But then that you guys are like the

806
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: first like forty five seconds to like minute and a half,

807
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: but then the rest of it. I just want to

808
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: show you the sights and sounds of September ninety six

809
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: and ECW because everybody's in this one. I love the

810
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: pulp fiction promos that Paul put together, the music, the

811
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: just everybody gets highlighted. It was fair, it was these

812
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: were the best segments back in the day. I love them.

813
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 1: I love them. I love them. I love them. And

814
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: that's what we'll talk about too. We'll talk about you know,

815
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: what he told you about him, what he wanted, all

816
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: this crap, So we'll save that for the extra. But

817
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: this one specifically, I've been watching him for weeks. The

818
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: same guy on YouTube keeps uploading them from different shows,

819
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: so there's a bunch of them. Oh, there's a ton

820
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: of them. This is one specifically because it's long. This

821
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: is eight minutes. So this one specifically I wanted to

822
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: focus on because you guys kick it off and again,

823
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: so it's a big what people think about your early

824
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 1: partnership with Shane, they think of this setting. So we'll

825
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: just I'm trying to think what it was, but I

826
00:45:52,960 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 1: don't know. Then the typical extra content, we're to look

827
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: at some funny New Year's resolutions. Okay, cop Out of

828
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: the Year starts with your New Year's resolution. Yeah, and

829
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: we'll tell you yours. We absolutely will. Yes, I've got

830
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: a couple. Okay, I had a whole conversation last night

831
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: about it, so I have some of the ready and

832
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 1: then this one. It's so stupid. If you're laughing, I won't.

833
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: Doctors talk about the best excuses they've heard from people

834
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: with objects stuck in their ass. Oh well, this this

835
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: one is right up my alley. No, I don't put

836
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: things up my ass, but I know people do, and

837
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: I would like to see what they're sticking up there

838
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: and then how they're getting it out. So this, this

839
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: one is going to be a good one. Yes, this

840
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: is doctors describing, you know, things that they've heard and

841
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: what what people have said to them as to why

842
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: how things happen. You know. Obviously we've heard perhaps Gerbils
