WEBVTT - Superman Brandon Routh! - Part 1 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:04.720 From my arm Radio, Common Enemy and Tendum with tv 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:15.960 Pal podcast Pal Hey Pal with Jared and Wow Pal, 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:18.800 Hey Pal? Are you? Where were You're yelling already? I'm 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.479 yelling because I cannot believe that you're back and I 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.360 need you to answer because there's a couple of rumors 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:26.560 out there. What are the us? Well, one was that 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.160 you took a GM job in an Army's in Oklahoma 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:33.560 that I'm gonna be that going and can I get 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.199 some what's the mocha shake? Can I get a Jamaica coupon? 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.280 I'm going to clear that one up right now. That 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.280 is not true. Who started that rumor? I mean multiple people, 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.600 TMZ No, multiple people have said TMZ hasn't talked about 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.200 you since Jennifer Love and I don't even think TMZ 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:54.319 was around then. Oh man, And by the way, we 0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:58.360 are back. Um So I heard that rumor that you 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.920 were managing in ours. It was untrue. Next, from my understanding, 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:04.520 they have pretty good benefits, so you might want to 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.600 look into that. And then second you I know you 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.119 were you were an avid Mario Kart player. I think 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.520 you were in a Mario Kart championship or something like that. 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.399 I was doing. I was dabbling in some Mario Kart 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.840 tournaments and that's with our our buddy Captain Quinn. You 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.840 guys play a lot of Mario Who's Who's Where are 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:24.199 you getting your insider info from? I only? I only, 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.560 I only spend days with you at the podcast studio 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.600 because that's all I can handle of you. Who is 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.520 feeding you this info? Like I said, I'm Colombian and Russian, 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.600 so you got you got eyes on me? Any any 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.080 other rumors we need to address, Dave, No, that's really it. Um, 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.040 I'm concerned about your Mavericks. How are you feeling about them? 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.679 I'm I'm not. Why are you concerned just because you're 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:50.280 you're at the top looking down at everybody? Stupid Sixers. Yeah, 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.320 we get the stupid sixers seed in the East, although 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.720 I know they won't win the championship or even make 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.440 it to the final. I am, I'm not concerned. We 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.000 are the fifth seed. Okay, We're going to play Denver 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.120 in the first round and uh and I feel good. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.240 I wanted anybody about the Clippers. How do you feel like? 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.000 Do you have that one team that you don't want 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.240 and then you'll take anybody else? You know, I just know, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:13.920 no matter what, we'll lose. So you're gonna play a 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.639 play game like somebody's gonna be in the plane. You'll 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.639 be fine, You'll be fine. All right. Well, look, I'm 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.720 glad to be back.

I think she hasn't 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.040 been able to get rid of been able to get 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:59.640 rid of me. Yeah, alright, Mom, that's enough.

And uh yeah, I'm I'm. I mean, 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.120 we've got a superhero on our show. He is he 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.480 is our I think he's our first superhero. What do 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.320 you mean you think he's definitely our first superhero. Well, 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.320 we've had a lot of great guests, so we've got 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.000 we we have had a lot of great guests. This 0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.639 is our first superhero, Okay, Dave. Before Kyle Kyles given 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.920 me that, I like, we're almost we're almost ready for 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.760 for our guests. So before we get into our guest. 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.640 Question that I've been wanting to ask you is if 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.440 if I'm I'm thirty seven, how old are you? Right, 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.920 I'm I'm forty your forty Okay, so thirty seven and 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:51.360 forty for the first forty years of your life, if 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.560 you could give yourself a g p A A grade, 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:58.840 what would be your self assessed to g P A 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.560 for the first four two years up until this point 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.080 right now? I mean that is a deep, deep, deep 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.880 that is a that is I know that you didn't 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.880 come up with it because you're at a fourth grade 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.080 reading level, which we've talked about before I came I 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:12.680 came up with this question. You did not. This is 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.960 someone very highly intelligent. No, nobody else. I'm not I'm 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.320 not divulging anything, but it's not you. I just want 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.839 you to answer the question. Um, I mean considering that 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.040 I've I've taken a lot of losses in life. Um, 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:31.480 how many losses? Are we talking about? Multiple losses? Kyle? 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.719 Do you do you think Dave's taken a lot of losses? 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.640 If Kyle, if our producer says you've taken a lot 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.920 of losses, You've taken a lot of losses. Here. Here's 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.200 the thing, though, Dave, is that I'm I'm going to 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.080 write down what I think your g p A is 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.440 and then I want you to talk it out and 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:49.840 tell the audience what your g p A is and 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:50.919 I want to see how close we are. And then 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.080 we're gonna do vice versa. And the reason one is 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.000 because you're gonna self assess yourself. But I think that 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.200 your g p A is going to be a little 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.240 bit higher than you think it is. You say you've 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.599 taken a lot of loss Look at is this with 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:06.359 honors classes? Is this based on a four DA? No, 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.440 this is a four Stop it for two seconds. It's 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.919 based is a four point of scale. Everyone knows. So 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.080 there's no honors, there's no and you have to you 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.440 have to look at everything. Okay, do you own you 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.600 own a home? Do you off? Have you helped? Have 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.640 you officiated weddings? Have you helped out? You know others 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:26.599 like how big is your heard? All the all of 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.160 it has included Dave Ossica. Okay, so I want to know. 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:35.360 Hold on, I'm writing mine down. Don't don't don't don't? Uh? 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.600 All right, I wrote mind down? Maybe, Kyle, do you 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.000 wanna do you wanna write what you think? Davos is 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.920 as well? We can get two people. No, you don't 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:49.560 say it out loud. Well, Kyle, Tequila thinks you've done 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.040 a shitty job in life. I mean, that's not bad. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.279 It's not bad. Okay, Davo, Davo, come on, before we 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:56.080 get before we get the one and only Brandon Rauth 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:57.800 on the podcast, what what is your g p A? 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.280 I would say my g p A is probably I 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.960 would say, at this point in my life, drumroll. We 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.560 need a drum roll. Kyle, thank you, thank you very much. 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.000 I'm comfortable going with with the three point three point 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:15.039 oh and three point oh in school is a solid 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.680 B right, yeah, okay, all right, do you want to 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:19.800 do you want to know the g p A I 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.080 came up with for you, sure, Kyle, are you interested 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:28.840 in this? The g p A, the life g p 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.440 A here on Earth school that I have come up 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:36.560 with for Dave Ossaco is a three point four. Wow. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:41.120 That means I value you more than you value yourself. Well, 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:47.279 I think most people value me more than that, but 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.279 I'll take that that's part of the that's part of 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:54.000 the reason that you've yes, and Kyle's two point nine 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.200 for me. I mean that is very true. Okay, all right, 0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.240 So do you want to I mean, do you want 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.920 to know why three point should we just keep moving this? 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.159 I mean, you're definitely a three point four. Look you 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:09.200 you you have a job where you can provide for yourself. Correct, Okay, 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.040 you own a home, you own cars. Okay, so you've 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.920 done You've done good with like financials. Uh now, let's sure, 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.680 Well you have a lot of people can't own a home, 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.480 people can't own cars. True. Now let's go on to 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.280 the other side, the guy for our audience. The guy 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:30.880 still talks to his mom every single day, multiple multiple 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.520 times a day. The g P A just went up 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.360 for that, right, Yeah, I mean that's important. Family. Family 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.960 is very important to you. Friends are very important to you. 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.840 Loyalty is very important to you. Right, traveling the world, 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.680 seeing things, experiencing new stuff. I mean we might have 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.520 to go a little higher, Dave, might be higher than 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.840 a three point four. You're selling it, and I appreciate it. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.480 Um two point nine from Kyle s Well, no, he's 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.400 just you know, he's seen a look, he just went up. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.760 He see. He's saying, no, he's saying to wrap it up. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.880 I thought he was saying I thought he saying, go 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.080 up a little bit. He's saying, wrap it up, get 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.080 done with this. Well, well, let's talk. And I appreciate that, Palot. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.080 I appreciate your three point four, um, and I and 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.240 I will try to uh to keep the jokes at minimum. 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.320 So what do you think your g P as? Oh? Mine, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.440 mine is definitely lower than at three point four. It's 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.440 definitely lower. Yeah, and even if we took you at 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.160 thirty seven and me at thirty seven, it would definitely 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:32.120 be like let's say, yours three years ago was a 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.400 three point three three or whatever we want to say. Yeah, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.839 mine's a little lower O, mine's lower. I I I 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.400 played in I was in Kidville a little too too long, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.960 Little yeah, I was in the McDonald's playpin a little 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.000 bit too uh to too too long, too long in life, 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.920 I had Kyle Tequila. I mean, did you teach me 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.600 what crypto was? I didn't even know how to invest money. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:52.439 Do you think at this point you're at like a 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.800 junior college level at this point? Or well, what would 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.520 be a junior college level? What are we talking? What's 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.160 the g p A there? I mean, you got to 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.120 be in the mid twos. I would think for junior college, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.640 I'm in the mid dave and in the mid twos. Yeah, 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.240 you're in the mid Okay, thank you. I thought you 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.160 were saying for sure, I would go, I would look, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.280 it's it's hard to assess yourself. But I think I'm 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.280 just now creeping up on like a three point Oh okay, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.080 I think I'm just now getting there. Okay, you know yeah, 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.880 So I mean I feel like that's fair. Well, I 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.360 do think, well, yeah, that deserve applause, That does deserve applies. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.599 I do think is it for the crypto investment or? 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.000 I do think based on our I think both of us. However, 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.959 we have to really be honest with the fact that 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.199 because of the sports teams that we choose to be 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:38.559 fans of, that probably lowers our g p A tremendously. Well, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.760 wouldn't in The Mavericks won a championship in two thousand eleven. Yeah, well, 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.400 the Sixers one one in the eighties. So maybe so 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:47.040 maybe it lowers your g p A, but it's not 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.839 lowering mind. Yeah. Well, okay, fair enough. Did you get 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.880 mom in the shot, pal? Yeah? I got her a 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.000 little brother. Have your mom here than you here? To 0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.640 be honest, do you want to should we switch? I 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.240 think we should. Actually, I haven't been here a long 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.000 and you already you already want to switch. Don't go anywhere. Hey, 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:14.240 Pam will be right back after a word from our sponsors.

Um, Brandon, we want to dive 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.480 right into Dave and I right before um uh you 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.200 you logged on. We were just talking about we were 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.480 grading each other. And what I mean by that is 0:10:56.120 --> 0:11:00.160 we were we were self assessing. If if Davo is 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:04.600 forty years old and I'm thirty seven, Davo was self 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.160 assessing himself for the first forty years, if he had 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.679 to put it in a g p A. Okay, So 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.280 we basically are calling um, so not not judging. We're 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.720 not judging. We're not judging. It's it's it's Earth school 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.599 right like we're here on Earth school right now. And 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.040 if you had to give yourself a g p A 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.000 in the first you don't have to say your age, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.199 But however long you've been on Earth, we want to 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.480 know we've given you a g p A. We want 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.800 to know what Brandon would give him. What g p 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.760 A you'd give yourself of life, skills of of life, 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.120 just all life, all inclusive. I mean, prior to the pandemic, 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:40.959 I probably would have given myself a higher score. I 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.880 think I think we all would have write was host pandemic. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.040 I've certainly learned a lot about myself and my limitations 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:51.000 and my challenges, which has been really good. Uh like 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:57.679 like uh steam steam cooker. Uh what's the long pressure 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.360 cooker of? Like yep, self and action. Um so in 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:08.079 my sixty three years one years, I guess i'd give 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:13.959 myself maybe a three point oh. Now, all right, a 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.920 three point oh. That's okay, okay, but can we just 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.920 tavo you know at the top of the show what 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.319 I gave my seat high and let me tell you, no, no, Brandon, 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.839 that that's pretty good. No, no, I am I'm actually 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.199 curious what would you give Jared? Wait, wait, bit, hold on, wait, 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.280 oh here we go, wait hold on, let me let 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.280 me just talk for two seconds here and then Brandon 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.960 can can give me one is I've known Brandon since 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.480 I was twenty one years old, sixteen years and we 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:37.920 just know what we were talking about at the top 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.000 of the show, and what I said, I gave myself. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.240 I gave myself Brandon a three point oh. I said, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.719 I'm just now coming into three point oh. I know 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.400 me and I definitely know you, and ain't no way 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.959 in God's Earth at you're a three point. Oh you 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.760 are way above above me right now in life. Well, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:56.719 I kind of say, you gotta know how everyone else 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.959 is grading themselves maybe to to to know how well. Yeah, 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:04.840 so so you know, listen, if Jared gave himself a thing, 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:10.160 then you're like a four. Well, well that's no. That's 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.240 the thing with Brandon is Brandon. Brandon has always had 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.800 the kindest heart in the world. Right, that's huge on 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.439 the g p A scale. He's he's a loyal husband. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.760 That's huge on the GPS. Good Midwest boy, that's big 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.280 Midwest guy. You get points just for being from the Midwest. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.560 He is a a an extremely loyal father, you know. Yeah, 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.160 like dedicated to being a family guy. And we know 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.480 how much we put we put that on this great 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:40.160 hair which he has that hurts our. I didn't know that. Yeah, no, 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.400 that's in there. If you knew the heroes of the 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.080 g p A, how high to do? How high did 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:51.320 the g P A half? So Tequila, Tequila and Ralph 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.600 need to hang out. Yeah, that's that's what it air wars. Yeah, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.760 that's that's interesting. It's always interesting to self assess yourself 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:01.240 as opposed to being assessed by by by By others. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.599 You know, I mean, what would you what are you? 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.559 What are you giving Brandon from Afar? I know, I 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:07.880 mean what I find it's interesting that he said is 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:12.800 that he had a different assessment pre pandemic and post pandemic. So, 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.120 you know, I think a lot of people took this 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.959 time and a lot of people grew from it. Um 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.920 and it's very odd that in our time on this 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.280 planet that we were all able to take an extended 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:29.880 breaks the strangest thing in the history of the world. Well, 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.120 I'm glad that you're managing that Arby's in Oklahoma now 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.560 because it gives me a lot of time to not 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.520 see you that often. I don't know if Brandon, did 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.280 you tell Brandon that you're the GM of an Arby's 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.400 in Oklahoma. Don't listen to him, Brandon full benefits for 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:44.360 this kid. Don't don't listen to it. But I think 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.640 it's they do have the meat. Jared's got the meats. 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.600 But I think that, you know, there's a lot to 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.040 be said for that because there was so much time 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.840 that people got to just stop and and take a 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.160 deep breath and exhale and invest in bitcoin like you did. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.560 But you know, it's really interesting that you said that 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:05.600 that your assessment was a little bit different pre compared 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.440 to post. So how do you feel you learned a 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.840 lot in this in this time, this downtime about yourself? Yes? 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.360 And what was that? Was that something that you enjoyed 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:19.680 kind of discovering about yourself or was it kind of 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.480 an odd feeling? I mean, especially as a working actor, 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.240 it must have been strange to just be on that 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:29.040 extended break. Uh yeah, I mean yeah, you're used to breaks. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.120 I'm used to breaks as an actor. You know, sometimes 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:36.040 a big hiatus between seasons or between jobs depending. Um. 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.320 But the hard thing is when as a big break 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.480 and there's no you don't know when you're going back 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.000 or or there's no goal, which is that open ended? 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.320 When when is when's the next time that that work 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.520 is going to happen? Because as as the pandemic ended, 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.960 I finished the show. I was done on the show 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.480 that I've been on for four years, and so that 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:57.280 was like going into the pandemic. It was kind of 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.960 the worst case scenario. Um, But then you know, it 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.120 was nice the rookie thing came up and I did 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:07.160 some nice quality episodes of that but so this time anyway, 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.120 it hasn't been fun. I mean, once you get through it, 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.440 it's fun and you and you get to the to 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.680 the other side of it. But it's work, it's it's 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:22.200 it's it's your self insuspection. You don't have a therapist 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.040 that I've been working with on and off for the 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.600 past four years, trauma therapist. And when I say trauma therapy, 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.280 it doesn't mean I have PTSD from wartime. Everyone has 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.800 their own kind of trauma, varying levels of trauma, but 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.000 trauma therapist is a specialized therapist for for dealing with 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:45.080 childhood trauma that we all we all suffer, either they're 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:49.680 from our parents or from outside sources. UM. Anyway, they 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.200 have a great way about them and I had been 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.320 working on and off, but I've been here and just 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.920 in the last few months have been working more and 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.280 more with her, UH and that's resulted in some really 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:04.919 important um um discoveries UH that I found for myself 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.680 about how I interact with the world and how we 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:12.639 interact with my family. UH. That has it's challenging to 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:18.480 grow and to accept certain mistakes and fallibilities that you have. 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.359 But when you can get to the other side. Then 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.400 it's it's great. Yeah, it's better to do the work 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.040 and get to the other side than continue on, you know, 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:28.760 in a path that's not They may not be working 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.800 very well. Right, Well, I wish Dave would do well. 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.200 I was going to say that it hasn't even begun 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.760 his work yet, so he's got he's got a long 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.440 road to climb, long road ahead of him. I'm I'm 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.520 I'm climbing. I'm climbing, b Ralph, I'm climbing. I'm trying. Yeah, 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:44.960 we're all doing the best that we can with the 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:49.920 tools that we have, exactly exactly. So with that being said, um, 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.760 we'll get into some of our questions here. And uh, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.480 you know, you're in a unique situation, um, as a 0:17:56.680 --> 0:18:01.040 as a former superhero. And uh, it's interesting because years 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:05.680 ago I had coffee with Tom Holland about a week 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.280 and a half before Spider Man came out, and I 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.440 remember telling Tom, this might be the last time that 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.840 you're able to have a normal coffee outside of a 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:19.359 cafe as as a as a civilian, as somebody that 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.080 people aren't gonna, you know, lose their minds over when 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.320 they see And it was kind of interesting and you know, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.159 he's a great young man, but it was kind of 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.520 kind of scary for him too at the same time, 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.320 because he was like, oh my god, I haven't even 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:34.399 thought about that. It was literally ten days before Spider 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.040 Man came out, and I was like, if we try 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.639 to have coffee eleven days from now, which is the 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.440 day after Spider Man comes out, it's going to be 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.720 a completely different scenario. So in a way, you know, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.400 I equated to this is a sports and entertainment show. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:51.680 I equated to minor league players in minor league baseball 0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.080 or in the D League in basketball. You know, when 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.840 they make that shift into superstardom. And for you, you 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.920 were a working actor. You were around um, but you 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.280 were quote unquote kind of you know, not in the 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.280 big leagues and the big show. And then you had 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:10.199 this tremendous opportunity to play the Man of Steel, one 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.639 of the most coveted roles in the history of film 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.680 or television. Uh, with an amazing director. You know that 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.480 that pushed for you as an unknown at the time. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.200 So what was that like for you, because it kind 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.520 of reminds me of when Jeremy Lynn, you know, was 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.359 in the in the NBA with the New York Knicks 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.600 and how he took over basketball for literally for a month, 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.600 all anybody talked about was Jeremy Lynch. It's just so 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.080 interesting because nobody knows who Jeremy lynn was. And just 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.760 like if if you take you know, the the soap 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.399 opera fans aside, you know, technically nobody knows who Brandon 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.600 Rolph is, and then overnight it's all of a sudden, 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.120 you're in the majors and now you know, all eyes 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:52.000 on you. Yeah, yeah, no, it's the soap fans. Uh, 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:53.960 one might have to live. Fans knew, knew who I 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.680 was a little bit um, but yeah, that was very 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.600 very very few opportunities walking in New York when I 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:02.840 was feeling that that somebody would recognize me from from 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:06.480 that Um Yeah, I mean I think I think I 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.960 anticipated that it would be a bigger problem than it 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.159 ended up being, and that actually kind of put I 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.719 put myself into my own box for a little while. Uh, 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:19.359 concerned about how much attention I would get, um, and 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.000 was concerned about that and my anonimity and stuff. So 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.119 I again, I think I had too much anxiety and 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.320 worry about that for for a couple of years, because 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:32.960 the truth was, it wasn't never as big as I, 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.000 thank thank goodness, as as I think it is for 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:36.680 a lot of people. I think that had to do 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:40.800 with the success of the movie, or the movie did well, 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.480 but not it wasn't blockbusters. It wasn't like any of 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:48.200 the Marvel movies. Um and and also while I was 0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.399 the star of the movie in the trailers and all 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:54.520 the stuff, I wasn't I my face wasn't front and 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:56.760 center and a lot of the promotional stuff some of 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:01.840
