0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.560

<v Speaker 3>for listener Q and A.

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Listener Q and A is my favorite one.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, for dang not us talking to each other and.

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Just having that's cool too, But this is where we

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.240
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of positive reinforcement and feedback that we

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 1>don't normally. Guess it's cool to hear it from people.

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh you like the shout out?

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:41.920

<v Speaker 3>Can he do more singing? Every time I listen to Harty,

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>I want to hear Scuba, Steve Screen. Okay, thanks Scuba

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 3>for always making me laugh when I hear you laugh.

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Heather from California, Heather Scuba, Actually he wrote he wrote it.

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>How I did Scubauba.

0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 3>It's my favorite on Best Bits, Max from Massachusetts my

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 3>two faves again, enjoy your holidays and vacations.

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Michelle, Thank you Michelle.

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:06.119
<v Speaker 2>And then another one.

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Took schoo was advice from earlier this year and changed careers.

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 3>It was scary, but it's been great.

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Dang, that's all I love to hear, like what was

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>the career change and all that kind of stuff.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, they only have a teeny tiny little box that

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>they give.

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>They limit the characters and they at least put their

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>name where they're from.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 2>They did, so when I type these out sometimes they

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 2>like it, like adjusts it okay. And then also they

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:27.960
<v Speaker 2>have to put in a second box because there is

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 2>such a small box.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>And I have a lot of excuses here.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a small thought the poor people have.

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Trust me, I totally get it. I'm just totally messing around.

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>But that's awesome that you went ahead and he or

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>she she?

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I do know, what's a she?

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay? That she saw something wanted to change and wanted

0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to do something she really wanted to do and went

0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>for it. That's really awesome. I'm really proud of you

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and excited for you. That's pretty bad ass, Yeah, you

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>feel good now I feel great now good. And I

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>also like to hear that someone took my advice and

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>it worked for them. That's really cool.

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>What if they took your advice and it didn't work

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>out for them?

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, sometimes you know, you have to try it to

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>see it works for you, and if it doesn't, then

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>you go back to what you're doing or try.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 3>All right, Lance would like to know how many pairs

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 3>of Nikes do you own?

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Only Nikes? They don't know about rebox or.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Only Nike, Fela and Nikes.

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, to how many Nikes I own? Do you consider

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's Nikes because they're made by the same manufacturer, but

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>they're not where they are. He was technical with Nikes.

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 1>You think maybe he meant like shoes in general and these,

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>but Nikes because he meant Nikes, Okay, Nikes. It's hard

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>for me to figure out in general how many shoes

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I have, and but then even dial it down to Nikes.

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>So if I were to close my eyes and just

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.640
<v Speaker 1>look at my closet and what is in there, and

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>if I'm only looking at the Nike boxes, which usually

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>are those orange boxes that have to check on them, yet, yes,

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.639
<v Speaker 1>and some of the older ones I have are they're

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>black boxes. They're the old Nike boxes, which can be

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 1>they just do it, they say, just do it on

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>it or Nike. But it could be confusing though, because

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's boxes are also black boxes with silver on it,

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>so it's hard to differentiate that between a Nike box.

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>So if I'm just gonna say Nikes, yeah, I'm going

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>to say probably around fifteen to.

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Twenty Nikes, including Jordan's.

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Not including Jordan's. With Jordan's, you're probably looking at around

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>somewhere around forty five to fifty.

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a closet just for your shoes.

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I have a closet that's divided in half or half

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>of them is my shoes, and the other half is

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>all my collectibles, like my sports cards and autographs, and

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>even like memorabilia from my life from my radio career

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that I've kept over the years, simple things like Mike flags,

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>to posters or billboards or concerts that we did, and

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I have those posters or shirts or whatever. Even like

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 1>notes from like an old host where they wrote something

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>down that I thought was really funny or cool that

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I kept. That's like a memory. Major pack rat for

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 1>my history of me. I'm a hoarder, that's my wife. Yeah,

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>why I would say order, I say collector.

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure.

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Okay, thanks for the question. Answer.

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>What is your personal and professional goal for twenty twenty five.

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>From VICKI personal and professional?

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I think the professional would be me having my own show,

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and we've talked a little bit about that in different

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>avenues of our shows of where I want to be.

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like this would be the year to

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>where everything I worked towards of the last eighteen years

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>will finally pay off and what I want to do

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>in my career, which would be doing my own thing.

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>So I feel like twenty twenty five is the year

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:23.599
<v Speaker 1>where that happens.

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 3>All Right, I can send it out, putting it out

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 3>in the universe that's out there.

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I've been putting out there hardcore for the last year,

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like this is where it finally comes

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>to fruition in twenty twenty five. And then my personal goal,

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>which kind of plays into that, because I feel like

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the personal and professional bleeds in so much for me

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>that I feel like by having this career goal finally

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>being reached, it will make me happier my personal life,

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>so that way I can focus on what would personal

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 1>goals be because I've been so focused on the professional

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>side of it. And then when you get news that

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>isn't quite what you want to hear, or you get

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.159
<v Speaker 1>no news at all, you start creating these scenarios in

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:00.720
<v Speaker 1>your head. I'm sure you've been there as well too,

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>with projects on hold or things that you're working on,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and you fall down this well, this deep well of

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>like negativity and spiraling. I'm like, what's gonna happen? Is

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>this even gonna happen? Oh my god? What do I

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.359
<v Speaker 1>and you just don't know? And then in all reality,

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>everyone else is like, yeah, I mean you're fine, dude

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. You just project this world that doesn't exist,

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 1>which I've been doing the last year, and then nothing

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>happened this last year, and so I fell down this

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>path of like what the am I doing?

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 3>You know this is some super super insider baseball because

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 3>this was not on microphone when we talked, But do

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 3>you take my advice from last time that we talked

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 3>about just human to human?

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes? I did, because that was cool because then it

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>allowed me to then not focus as much on that,

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 1>which makes my goal of twenty twenty five to be like,

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, this is happening. So now I'm spending the

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>last month or so and we'll continue for the spoiler

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>arts recorded to twenty twenty four the remainder of this

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 1>year preparing and even into next year, preparing for what

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>that role is and not so much focusing on is

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 1>it going to happen, but more than anything, getting ready

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 1>for it to happen, but also relishing in the moments

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>of like, Okay, life is busy, but not as busy

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>as it will be at some point, so I also

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>enjoy those smaller moments with my kids and my wife

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and the family and doing that kind of stuff.

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Good, I'm proud of you.

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it was amazing, be helpful. Yeah, it was very helpful,

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>So thank you. I appreciate that.

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Good. That was super inciting, Like, and that was just

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 3>a human to human conversation Scuba and I were having.

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>But I'm glad, but it was helpful. Yeah, and allow

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>me to focus on the prize and not worry about

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>getting there so much because it's going to happen. It's

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>just being ready for it now. So it's like, Okay,

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>now I'm really ready for it. I'm thinking about it

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>in the drive and in moments I have to myself

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>or even with my wife, like how can I when

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I get this? I'm speaking as and when when I

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 1>get this? What are some things I want to do?

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>What I want to change? How do I want to

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>do this already setting up like the first day on

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>air of how I want to implement, what that looks like,

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.559
<v Speaker 1>those kinds of things. So I'm ready for it, versus

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>like when it happens, it's like, oh my god, for

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 1>the last six months, bitch and complaining about it not happening.

0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Now it's here, and now I'm not ready. So now

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm like no, no, no, no, I will be ready

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>for it once it becomes a thing.

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it's really hard.

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean that was like a personal experience that I

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:09.039
<v Speaker 3>was leaning on to give you. That advice is like,

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 3>don't sit and wait in all the chaos of it,

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 3>and just start preparing like it's going to come, yeah,

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 3>and then you're prepared for whatever is to come regardless.

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly, Okay, good?

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 3>Are you the one leaving the show Trisha in Minnesota?

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh boy, we don't know what it happens in twenty

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty five.

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 3>I know, listen, I had to throw it in there

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 3>because he's getting asked about you, and I was like, oh, yeah,

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Scuba can answer for himself.

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe Bobby knows something more about my career that

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know.

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>It's possible you may know a lot of things than

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>any of us know.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because I did go to him because it's one

0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>of those things where I guess to say it's without

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>giving too much information, but it's always weird to tell

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.440
<v Speaker 1>your your current employer like, hey, love being here, but

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I also want to do something that's not here. And

0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>most people would be like, oh, well, school, you, you're out.

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>But I went to him because I do love what

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I do here, but I also love what I've been

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>working towards for the last almost twenty years. And I

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>had to be honest with him. The reason why I'm

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 1>not as happy as a human is because I'm not

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>doing something that I want to do. And he's even

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.760
<v Speaker 1>dropped nuggets over the last four to five years of like, hey,

0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you should consider doing your own show. Hey, one day,

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to clip your wings and let you fly.

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 1>So he also has put the in my head of like, oh,

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I could do this. Oh, I have the skills to

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>do this. Oh I really yeah, I really could do this,

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>and just I've been holding myself back by not pursuing it.

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>So it was really cool to go to someone like

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>him who can then one give me advice to also

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>have my back, Like who better to have your back

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.480
<v Speaker 1>than someone like that within the company, And then he

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 1>believes in me, So that's kind of cool. So I

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.079
<v Speaker 1>kind of forgot where I was going with this.

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Hey, we just hyped up Bobby in No, we don't know.

0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 2>That's the answer to the question.

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I rely don't know what's going to happen. Yes, but

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>it is great that I went to someone that I

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 1>can trust and they didn't shoot me down. I'm like, oh,

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that sounds cool, and then it's like nothing ever came

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of it. No, we actually had conversations and multiple conversations

0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.839
<v Speaker 1>of where this could go and how I could work

0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>on on both shows. Always different thing. I'm giving too

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>much information, but I will say that I have full

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 1>support within my show and within the company, which is great.

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>And so that's why I feel like twenty twenty five

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>will be the will be a pretty awesome year, five.

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Year year Scooter year year, speaking of twenty twenty five, Yeah,

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 3>and what could be coming? Have you worked on your script?

0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 3>All James in New York would like to know.

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I have not. No, I haven't worked on it, probably

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in a lot. Last time I actually legitimately worked on

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>it was right when I first moved to LA in

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty fifteen, and I called like three of my closest

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:33.839
<v Speaker 1>friends and I was like, we should start setting up

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.839
<v Speaker 1>a And at the time, a big Google shared doc

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>type program was called ever Note. I don't know if

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I worked with ever Note.

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Ever know was familiar, but I don't. I don't think so.

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.719
<v Speaker 1>So it had like this like elephant logo on it,

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and it was back before Google Docs was was really

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>a thing or really took off. And so it's like

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>any that's a version of that where we share docs.

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>So I always created this shared space we all type

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>in character development ideas for characters, you know, how we

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>see the first but so playing out. So we had

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 1>like an initial meeting in twenty fifteen, did that, and

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>then I got the job with Ryan Seacrest and I

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 1>just haven't looked.

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Back mostly been nine years too.

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I know it's a.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Lot of life very long time.

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, it happened because there's people who start scripts and

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 3>they don't finish them for decades, so exactly what was

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 3>a possibility?

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Or even songs where someone will write a song and

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.439
<v Speaker 1>they put it down and they don't get to it

0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>till Like trying to think if there was an artist

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>recently we had on in the last year where they're like, yeah,

0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>had the song. I hadn't touched it, and ten years

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:27.719
<v Speaker 1>later I was like, Oh, and they work on it

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and they have a different perspective ten years later and

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>it becomes this massive hit.

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 3>True, but if the direction of your career is heading

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 3>in the way, if your career's head in the direction

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 3>that you believe it's going to be, I fear the

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 3>script will continue to be on the back burner for

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 3>a while.

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. But I also feel like too that when I

0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.840
<v Speaker 1>do it and I'm able to focus on my show,

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it will allow for a little bit

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 1>more time to focus on things that are about me

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>as well. Like right now, my focus is totally setting

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>up and making sure the show and one person is

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>fully successful in all different ways of content to revenue,

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to perception, everything, Whereas when it's just me. I feel

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>like at least if it's just me, then I'll be

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>able to focus on my show, do my thing, and

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>then I'll have a little more free time to work

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>on the show slash other things I want to work on.

0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Right right now, it's all encompassing of like twelve different lives.

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>In the Show's possible. I'm optimistic, Okay, we like optimism here, Yeah, yeah.

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, twenty twenty five optimism, pessimism. Catch back, Yeah, catch

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:28.839
<v Speaker 1>up with me later in the year and see where

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>we're really at.

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 2>But right now, right now, this moment, this is where

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>we are.

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 1>Hello, optimistic.

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 2>right back. Does he still like to try all flavors

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 2>of Oreo? What is his favorite?

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>So? My favorite, I think is still just the traditional

0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 1>but double stuff so you get extra of that filling

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>in the middle. Yeah, we tried the carrot one. I

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's still around. Remember the carrot cake one.

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.839
<v Speaker 3>I think they do limited edition. Okay, drop them and

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 3>then they take them bax.

0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>That one was delicious. The carrot cake had the vanilla

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 1>outside or the white cookie outside versus the chofol one. Yeah,

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>and it had that and on the inside was a

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 1>carrot cake frosting filling. Dude, Oh my gosh, freaking phenomenal.

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's sold out everywhere.

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so maybe it's just limited edition. It may have

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>been around around I think Easter ish, which makes sense.

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>It maybe been years ago, got it because I haven't

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>had it since I actually I haven't had it since

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>we lived in La I feel like, so it's been

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>about five years. If you ever see the carrot cake

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>one come out or the care one come out, please

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>snag yourself a bag or a sleeve or whatever.

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Need it the whole thing to hold?

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I get that. And you ever take milk

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and put in the freezer so it gets like a

0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 1>little chunky and icy? Oh god, what do you mean?

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.760
<v Speaker 1>You even't tried it? So how do you know?

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 3>It sounds disturbing? Like the texture of it. I'm a

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 3>texture person sometimes.

0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you like ice in your drink?

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Not really really like warm lukewarm warm drinks.

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it's because my teeth are super since it is, okay,

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 3>and so I don't like super cold things and ice

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.640
<v Speaker 3>like I like really teeny tiny ice like crunchy ice. Okayeah, yeah,

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 3>but I don't like like cubes or anything like that.

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, yeah, I don't mind. Yeah, I'm more of

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the crunchy ice like Tiana flats or whatever they.

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Have have like the Sonics ice, Sonic ice. Yeah yeah, yeah,

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 3>baby icy little crushies.

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, a little crushies yeh yeah, we're easy to

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it still don't get your teeth, but whatever. Okay,

0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.079
<v Speaker 1>so you wouldn't like those. I'm sure someone out there's like,

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 1>oh my god. The frozen milk you put in there

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>just enough to where the top part of the glass

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>that you put in there has to be in the

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>glass can be plastic the glass.

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 2>They pour it in a glass cup.

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Yes, first the glass cup is already cold because the

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.400
<v Speaker 1>glass was in the freezer, almost like how people do

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 1>beer mugs. They'll put them in the freezers of frosty. Yes,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.079
<v Speaker 1>you grab a frosty cup, pour the milk in there.

0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You can already start to see it kind of get

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>really cold. Put it back in the freezer for like

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>fifteen twenty minutes, so you get that top layer of

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the ice rank on top of the bit and then

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>where you can push it through with your finger and

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>then it drops in and it's a little icy, and

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>that right there with the carrot cake oreo is a

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>heavenly combination.

0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, the more everybody.

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, hey, you asked, I will give you an answer.

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:09.080
<v Speaker 3>I did hate I'm not my question, but yeah, what

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.200
<v Speaker 3>is one thing you'd like to do better as a parent?

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 1>From Kate a parent, I feel like my patience could

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.080
<v Speaker 1>be better. There are moments where I'm conscious of it.

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh my god, I'm so impatient. Stop that.

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Who cares? Why does it matter? And me and my

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>wife are guilty of it. If we're just busy, we're

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>especially at the end of the year, we're so burnt out.

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure everyone feels it. At the end of the year,

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 1>there's last minute deadlines. Everyone's pushing all this last minute crap.

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>You're trying to get to the holiday, You're trying to

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>check your list and everything, and then you all have

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.400
<v Speaker 1>to also worry about the holidays, the family stuff and

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>all that. You just get a little testy, and all

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the little crap that normally wouldn't bother you bothers you.

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>And then you find yourself yelling your kid about something

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>so stupid and you see their face and they get

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>crushed and you're like, oh my god, why am I

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 1>doing that? Who cares? Who really cares? Is who cares?

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Like even like in public settings, I don't allow my

0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 1>kids to be on the phone or play with tablets

0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>or that kind of stuff. Everyone does their own thing.

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a you can't judge parents, because everyone does

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>their own thing for their own reason. But I'm not.

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind technology. My kid does play video games

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>at home. It's a reward system. You do your homework

0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 1>or if you're good while we're out and about, we

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 1>come home, you can play thirty minutes of video games,

0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 1>or you can my daughter if you want, you can

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>watch you know, a Netflix show on your mom's phone

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>for thirty minutes. There's always a time limit. But I'm

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>not big on it in public. So that usually means

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>my kids are just running all over the place and

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>they're they're like wild animals. But they get to be kids,

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>and there's some moments where like stop it, don't do that,

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm like, you know what, who gives a crap?

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>We used to run around the mall as kids we

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>used to be. We used to recab it. It was

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>just it just is what it is, and they get

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.280
<v Speaker 1>to enjoy life versus being a zombie in front of

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a tablet or a phone and which only bothers me.

0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>When the volume level is so low that everyone can

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 1>hear your kids Coco Melon video, you just turn it down.

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 2>You just made that loud for it.

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I did that on purpose. Turn it. I don't mind you, Okay,

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the only thing I will judge you on. Turn

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it the f You're gonna be deafening your child and

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you're deafening me waiting on line. I know. I understand

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>it's helpful so you can focus on your other kids

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>or whatever you're doing, but please turn down the damn volume, okay,

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 1>or there's like headphones even then that that's damaging to

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the year.

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 3>So I understand why you want to play it not

0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 3>as much as over as long as they don't do

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 3>the air butt.

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.240
<v Speaker 1>But then they can't monitor if it's too loud or not,

0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 1>though the kid could turn it up, and now they're

0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 1>deafening themselves. So I understand why you play it out loud,

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 1>but turn it down, good lord, turn it down.

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 2>We're bouncing all over the place.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 3>Favorite Christmas gift you've gotten, Kirsten from Canada, I'm.

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Assuming of all time. Ah Man, there's a pretty dark

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 1>period of my life where I didn't get a lot

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of great gifts or mini gifts, just because sing the

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.560
<v Speaker 1>mother with four kids and then all that crap, and

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 1>then I didn't participate in a lot of holidays as

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I moved because I couldn't afford to go back home,

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't have a lot of gifts. I think

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>my best Christmas gifts will be from my wife she

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>got me. The one that stands out was in twenty sixteen,

0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.600
<v Speaker 1>she got me one of these shoes that I had wanted.

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this goes back to probably let's see, I

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.120
<v Speaker 1>was living in Alvido, Florida. My neighbor was that guy

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>from Mashbox twenty. He was the drummer in there. So

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking like ninety four to ninety five. They were

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.919
<v Speaker 1>these Scottie Pippin' shoes that came out and they were

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>like they say air on the side, like ai R

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and they're all black with white around the outside of

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>air and they have air bubbles in the bottom. And

0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember my friend Danny Burke. He got one of

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.239
<v Speaker 1>those because he was like, you know, his parents, his

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>parents were together and they weren't married, and life was wonderful,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:28.879
<v Speaker 1>and they had two incomes and I think it was

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 1>just him and his sister, so they were able to

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>afford the great things in life. And he had those shoes,

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and I remember, like, damn, I want those. I used

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.119
<v Speaker 1>to go to the foot locker or Jumbo Sports and

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I'd see them and I'd try them on and walk

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>around and be like, oh no, yeah, they just don't

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>fit right, but they fit perfect. Yeah, No, I don't

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>think I want these now. I'm good. No, No, you can

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 1>put them back now. They just don't fit. But I

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.800
<v Speaker 1>love them so much and I never got them ever.

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.600
<v Speaker 1>And then my wife she was I don't know how

0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.040
<v Speaker 1>she figured it out or I forget what. Maybe I'd

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:56.919
<v Speaker 1>mentioned it, I don't know, but then I remember that

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Christmas she went and got me those shoes. It was

0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.159
<v Speaker 1>like our first Christmas in LA and I think it

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>was my son wasn't born yet. No, it was our

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.159
<v Speaker 1>first Christmas in LA and our first time of like

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.360
<v Speaker 1>actually having real money because I was working with Ryan

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 1>at the time and making pretty decent money. It was

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:13.440
<v Speaker 1>our first real paycheck, and before that was just kind

0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.399
<v Speaker 1>of like with small gifts, which were great, But this

0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 1>is our first real big Christmas. And she got me

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.360
<v Speaker 1>those shoes and I cried. It was like a moment

0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.239
<v Speaker 1>where I was like, oh my god, I got these

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>shoes mean so much to me. They may not seem

0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot to you or anyone else, but man, they

0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>meant a lot to me.

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 3>It was like the you know when you watch the

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Christmas movies and you see the little kid come through

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 3>as the imagery and the adult.

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that was like your moment of that happening.

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.959
<v Speaker 1>That was my moment, Like it just it was so amazing.

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I was like, man, she's really like she went hard,

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>like this is a big deal to me. It had

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 1>been coming for what twenty thirty years? Thirty years coming?

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I finally got it too hard. I mean

0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 2>she picked up on that one quick.

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. She's great. I wish I was as good as

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>she was with gifts. I'm not. Usually it's just like, hey,

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.440
<v Speaker 1>just tell me what you want. I'll get it because

0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to ruin it for you and get

0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:58.680
<v Speaker 1>something crappy.

0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, A good way to to do that.

0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Like when I'm dating somebody, I always put notes in

0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 3>my phone fro not.

0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Even just like asking them for things.

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.239
<v Speaker 3>I will like make a comment, they'll be like, oh,

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:09.440
<v Speaker 3>this is like my favorite drink.

0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Write it down, and then I always reference that note.

0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Like if I go pick up a coffee for them,

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 3>or if I grab like food somewhere, I'm like, oh,

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 3>this is what they like. And then I just always

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.919
<v Speaker 3>have a running thing of like mental notes, but I

0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.760
<v Speaker 3>put them down because my memory sucks and life happens,

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 3>so I like have a running list in my phone.

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.760

<v Speaker 1>I know, and I'm sure it could do it. But

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>then what will happen is I'll remember and oh I

<v Speaker 3>shared him from Texas that all asked the same question.

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, cool. So I think as a kid, the biggest

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 1>thing for us was going out to look at Christmas lights.

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 1>We used to love. There's always that one neighborhood in

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the area. I'm sure everyone had like a neighborhood that

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>just like went hard and all the houses together are just.

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.159
<v Speaker 2>We have one house that always had Santa.

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, okay, cool.

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Well they went all.

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Out and like if you paid for like donated to

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:23.640
<v Speaker 3>one of the charities, it's really cool.

0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 1>That's really really cool.

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:25.960
<v Speaker 2>And they still do it to the day, like thirty

0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:26.560
<v Speaker 2>years running.

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so they hit So Santa's there and you get

0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to like tell him what you want for Christmas and

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 1>all that.

0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.119
<v Speaker 3>Now you know, now as an adult, I wonder if

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Santa lives there.

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it could, yeah exactly, Yeah could go to Santa's Helpers.

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah exactly. That permanently takes residence there, exactly, and it

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>probably was.

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.359
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know, Yah, Santa.

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:44.639
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty dang cool. Yeah, we just had like we

0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:46.399
<v Speaker 1>just love the lights aspect of it. And we had

0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a neighbor. His name is mister Peterson, and he was

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 1>one of those ones that was featured like in the

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>newspaper every year. And then it was like how many

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 1>lights he has, and then he expanded from just whatever

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>he had he held in his garage to remember one

0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 1>year he didn't build this back garage behind his house.

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And it wasn't like the houses had acreage or anything.

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>It was like smaller lots, but he had the corner

0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.200
<v Speaker 1>house so he had more space to put up lights.

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:09.280
<v Speaker 1>And then there was a point where it was like

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the news that a special on him and got picked

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>up by ABC and went national, and he was showing

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>all these extra breaker boxes he has in his garage

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:17.919
<v Speaker 1>and he has like you know, counting the light bulbs

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 1>he has, like you know, one million of the light bulbs.

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>We're in a break a record this year. And his

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 1>house was like you could see it from outer space.

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>It was so and there's lights everywhere around that house

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>and it was so much fun.

0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.120
<v Speaker 2>I like that where they're like, uh, they try and

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 3>I think Jack Black isn't it and like Houston, Genoa,

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.639
<v Speaker 3>but they like light the they're trying to light the

0:21:38.680 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 3>house to show it from space and that like shows

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.119
<v Speaker 3>up on the satellite and everybody celebrates.

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:45.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like one of those things. Yeah, one of those moments.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 1>And he did that for a really long time, and

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 1>then of course with age, you get older, and then

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it became less. And then I think he passed away

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe a year or so ago, so he hasn't been

0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>doing it, or that house hasn't. I think the house sold.

0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I hope somebody, like maybe one of his family members.

0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 3>I wish they would have picked up the tradition and

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 3>need it, or.

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.119
<v Speaker 1>I wish it would have known that when it happened

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>and there's a garage shell. I would love to have

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>gone there and like bought some of those lights because

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:09.320
<v Speaker 1>they were so huge. I know, yeah, but that was

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty cool. So we used to do that a lot.

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>We used to drive around for like the whole month

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.440
<v Speaker 1>just checking out lights, looking at Christmas lights.

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 2>We have them. We have two places in which Shaw

0:22:16.800 --> 0:22:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that are super cool.

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 3>They're called Candy Cane Lane and one's a like a

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 3>reindeer road I think is what the other one is

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 3>called but all of the houses, like within this whole

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 3>strip of a street have giant candy canes is decorated differently.

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Candy can Lane.

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.239
<v Speaker 2>If you live in that street, you have to own

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:34.639
<v Speaker 2>one of these candy cans. You have to put it

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:35.280
<v Speaker 2>out for Christmas.

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:38.159
<v Speaker 3>Or there's these this other Reindeer road where it's all

0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:39.200
<v Speaker 3>these reindeer they have these.

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Some have giant, I mean like huge statues of reindeer.

0:22:43.320 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>ABC The Great Christmas Light Fight. Candy Cane Lane is

0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:48.920
<v Speaker 1>like world like world like worldwide known.

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's these two roads and there and it's cracked

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.600
<v Speaker 3>every year in whichita people always go through these because

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:56.600
<v Speaker 3>you just drive through them. But yeah, it's cool and

0:22:56.600 --> 0:22:58.600
<v Speaker 3>they decorate their houses too. But it's known for the

0:22:58.640 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 3>candy canes and it's known for the.

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's really cool. Yeah, it's fun to see the lights.

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's just kind of cool. And if

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 1>you can get out of the car, like walk around

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 1>and look at it like it's I think it's so

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>cool to be able to see it all. Yeah, we

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 1>love we love.

0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 3>Then find the walk around ones as much as the

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 3>driving ones.

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, mister Peterson was what everyone parked and walked to

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the house, and everyone like walked around looked at it

0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>and everything, and it was like when I'm busy, busy

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:22.239
<v Speaker 1>days like Christmas Eve they had the police would come

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>out and help direct traffic and stuff. Because it was

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 1>a big circular neighborhood, so everyone drove through the neighborhood

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>to go in and come out, but there's always a

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.680
<v Speaker 1>traffic jam coming out and coming in. And then because

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the neighborhood was a circle, it was cool because then

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 1>everyone else started kind of joining in and putting up

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:37.639
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of different No one could ever compete with

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:39.240
<v Speaker 1>mister Peterson, No, but he was like.

0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 3>The attraction, and then everybody else was like trying to

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 3>keep up with the like the openers.

0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was definitely the headlining act for sure. It

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:46.960
<v Speaker 1>was really cool.

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:47.159
