And I 53 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: also like to hear that someone took my advice and 54 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: it worked for them. That's really cool. 55 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: What if they took your advice and it didn't work 56 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: out for them? 57 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: Well, sometimes you know, you have to try it to 58 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: see it works for you, and if it doesn't, then 59 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: you go back to what you're doing or try. 60 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: All right, Lance would like to know how many pairs 61 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: of Nikes do you own? 62 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: Only Nikes? They don't know about rebox or. 63 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: Only Nike, Fela and Nikes. 64 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: Okay, to how many Nikes I own? Do you consider 65 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: Jordan's Nikes because they're made by the same manufacturer, but 66 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: they're not where they are. He was technical with Nikes. 67 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: You think maybe he meant like shoes in general and these, 68 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: but Nikes because he meant Nikes, Okay, Nikes. It's hard 69 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: for me to figure out in general how many shoes 70 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 1: I have, and but then even dial it down to Nikes. 71 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: So if I were to close my eyes and just 72 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: look at my closet and what is in there, and 73 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: if I'm only looking at the Nike boxes, which usually 74 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: are those orange boxes that have to check on them, yet, yes, 75 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: and some of the older ones I have are they're 76 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: black boxes. They're the old Nike boxes, which can be 77 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: they just do it, they say, just do it on 78 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: it or Nike. But it could be confusing though, because 79 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: Jordan's boxes are also black boxes with silver on it, 80 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: so it's hard to differentiate that between a Nike box. 81 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: So if I'm just gonna say Nikes, yeah, I'm going 82 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: to say probably around fifteen to. 83 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: Twenty Nikes, including Jordan's. 84 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: Not including Jordan's. With Jordan's, you're probably looking at around 85 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: somewhere around forty five to fifty. 86 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: Do you have a closet just for your shoes. 87 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: I have a closet that's divided in half or half 88 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: of them is my shoes, and the other half is 89 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: all my collectibles, like my sports cards and autographs, and 90 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: even like memorabilia from my life from my radio career 91 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: that I've kept over the years, simple things like Mike flags, 92 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: to posters or billboards or concerts that we did, and 93 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: I have those posters or shirts or whatever. Even like 94 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: notes from like an old host where they wrote something 95 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: down that I thought was really funny or cool that 96 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: I kept. That's like a memory. Major pack rat for 97 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: my history of me. I'm a hoarder, that's my wife. Yeah, 98 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: why I would say order, I say collector. 99 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure. 100 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, thanks for the question. Answer. 101 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: What is your personal and professional goal for twenty twenty five. 102 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: From VICKI personal and professional? 103 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,559 Speaker 2: Yeah. 104 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: I think the professional would be me having my own show, 105 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: and we've talked a little bit about that in different 106 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: avenues of our shows of where I want to be. 107 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: But I feel like this would be the year to 108 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: where everything I worked towards of the last eighteen years 109 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: will finally pay off and what I want to do 110 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: in my career, which would be doing my own thing. 111 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: So I feel like twenty twenty five is the year 112 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: where that happens. 113 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: All Right, I can send it out, putting it out 114 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: in the universe that's out there. 115 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: I've been putting out there hardcore for the last year, 116 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: and I feel like this is where it finally comes 117 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: to fruition in twenty twenty five. And then my personal goal, 118 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: which kind of plays into that, because I feel like 119 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: the personal and professional bleeds in so much for me 120 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: that I feel like by having this career goal finally 121 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: being reached, it will make me happier my personal life, 122 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: so that way I can focus on what would personal 123 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: goals be because I've been so focused on the professional 124 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: side of it. And then when you get news that 125 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: isn't quite what you want to hear, or you get 126 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: no news at all, you start creating these scenarios in 127 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: your head. I'm sure you've been there as well too, 128 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: with projects on hold or things that you're working on, 129 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: and you fall down this well, this deep well of 130 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: like negativity and spiraling.

And then in all reality, 133 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: everyone else is like, yeah, I mean you're fine, dude 134 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: or whatever. You just project this world that doesn't exist, 135 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: which I've been doing the last year, and then nothing 136 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: happened this last year, and so I fell down this 137 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: path of like what the am I doing? 138 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 3: You know this is some super super insider baseball because 139 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: this was not on microphone when we talked, But do 140 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: you take my advice from last time that we talked 141 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: about just human to human? 142 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: Yes? I did, because that was cool because then it 143 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: allowed me to then not focus as much on that, 144 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: which makes my goal of twenty twenty five to be like, 145 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: all right, this is happening.

Everyone does their own thing. 380 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm not a you can't judge parents, because everyone does 381 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: their own thing for their own reason. But I'm not. 382 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't mind technology. My kid does play video games 383 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: at home. It's a reward system. You do your homework 384 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: or if you're good while we're out and about, we 385 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: come home, you can play thirty minutes of video games, 386 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: or you can my daughter if you want, you can 387 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: watch you know, a Netflix show on your mom's phone 388 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: for thirty minutes. There's always a time limit. But I'm 389 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: not big on it in public. So that usually means 390 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: my kids are just running all over the place and 391 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: they're they're like wild animals. But they get to be kids, 392 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: and there's some moments where like stop it, don't do that, 393 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: and then I'm like, you know what, who gives a crap? 394 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: We used to run around the mall as kids we 395 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: used to be. We used to recab it. It was 396 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: just it just is what it is, and they get 397 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: to enjoy life versus being a zombie in front of 398 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: a tablet or a phone and which only bothers me. 399 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: When the volume level is so low that everyone can 400 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: hear your kids Coco Melon video, you just turn it down. 401 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: You just made that loud for it. 402 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: I did that on purpose. Turn it. I don't mind you, Okay, 403 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: that's the only thing I will judge you on. Turn 404 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: it the f You're gonna be deafening your child and 405 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: you're deafening me waiting on line. I know. I understand 406 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: it's helpful so you can focus on your other kids 407 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: or whatever you're doing, but please turn down the damn volume, okay, 408 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: or there's like headphones even then that that's damaging to 409 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: the year. 410 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: So I understand why you want to play it not 411 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 3: as much as over as long as they don't do 412 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: the air butt. 413 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: But then they can't monitor if it's too loud or not, 414 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: though the kid could turn it up, and now they're 415 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: deafening themselves. So I understand why you play it out loud, 416 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: but turn it down, good lord, turn it down. 417 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: We're bouncing all over the place. 418 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 3: Favorite Christmas gift you've gotten, Kirsten from Canada, I'm. 419 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: Assuming of all time. Ah Man, there's a pretty dark 420 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: period of my life where I didn't get a lot 421 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: of great gifts or mini gifts, just because sing the 422 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: mother with four kids and then all that crap, and 423 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: then I didn't participate in a lot of holidays as 424 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: I moved because I couldn't afford to go back home, 425 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: so I didn't have a lot of gifts. I think 426 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: my best Christmas gifts will be from my wife she 427 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: got me.

And 437 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: I remember my friend Danny Burke. He got one of 438 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,239 Speaker 1: those because he was like, you know, his parents, his 439 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: parents were together and they weren't married, and life was wonderful, 440 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: and they had two incomes and I think it was 441 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: just him and his sister, so they were able to 442 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: afford the great things in life. And he had those shoes, 443 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: and I remember, like, damn, I want those.
