00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: How do you hotti? Welcome to the Grangersmith Podcast. This

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: is episode sixty and I'm recording this before the time

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: obviously that you're going to hear it, but right now

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: it's before Thanksgiving, and I just want to say I'm

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: so thankful for this podcast and this platform to be

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: speaking with you guys, and fifty nine episodes before this one.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite things to do. I do

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: a lot of different kinds of media in my life,

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: everything from redneck comedy to trying to make you cry

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: in a music video, and this is right in between.

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: And it's not a family blog either. This is the podcast,

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: and so many times I've opened this up to your questions,

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: I do want to say that for me. The last

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: episode I talked about a young man from Kentucky named Drew,

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: and we have since talked back and forth. If you

16
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: want to listen to episode fifty nine. Drew wrote into

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: the show and he said that he was in a

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: pretty tough situation. Fourteen years old. He had been abused

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: by his stepfather, apparently had been beaten with a baseball

20
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: bat on several occasions, called the cops, wrote the podcast,

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: it was a long story and that's not what this

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: is about. I hope you hope you go listen to

23
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: that on episode fifty nine, but I wanted to say

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: that after that, and this podcast is always open to questions.

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: You email Grangersmith podcast at gmail dot com if you

26
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: want to, if you want to talk to me about anything,

27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: and I'll talk about it on this podcast. After I

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: read that letter from Drew, I got a flood of

29
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: questions and comments from you guys on this email in

30
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: similar situations, which is horrifying. And I just want to

31
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: say that if you are in a bad situation, especially

32
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: if you're under twenty one and you're living in You're

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: not You're not the head of your household, I should say,

34
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: you're living with other adults, and you are in any

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: kind of abusive situation, Please call the cops. Please call

36

00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: you is maybe they're in with the sheriff, or maybe

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: they're taking plea bargains, like somebody said in one of

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: the emails. Guys, First of all, I'm so sorry you're

00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: something about it. And it's crazy that this world has

45
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: the problems that it does. We all recognize that it does.

Speaker 1: good guys, go to their house, don't leave until it

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: gets until it gets fixed. Man, I didn't think I

62
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: was gonna have to start this podcast by saying that

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: I do want to I do want to tell you

64
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: something else. My buddy Johnny, Joey Jones and Georgia, who's

65
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: a a great friend. We've done We've done some hunting

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: trips together. We've done a lot of videos together. We've

67
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: walked one hundred miles together. He is a wounded warrior. Yeah,

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: he's lost both of his legs in I rack. I

69
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: believe Afghanistan. I think it was Afghanistan and just a

70
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: tremendous dude. And I wanted to read what he just tweeted.

71
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: Once again, this podcast is coming before Thanksgiving, so I

72
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: want to read what he tweeted just now. He said,

73
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: I didn't fight two wars and lose two legs to

74
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: be told I can't spend time with my family. As

75
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I did it so you could

76
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: choose how you spend your Thanksgiving, honor sacrifice and tell

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: the Commies to shove it. So the reason I'm reading

78
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: that is is because he says this on Twitter and

79
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: it gets a lot of engagement, Like I'm looking at

80
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: it right now and as twenty three thousand retweets, and

81
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: if you want to look him up, his Twitter is

82
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: at Johnny Underscore. Joey has a ton of engagement but

83
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: everything I see, and maybe this is the Twitter algorithm,

84
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: maybe this is who's running Twitter. Everything I see right

85
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: under that tweet is negative. It's all people bashing him

86
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: and criticizing him and demoralizing him and really knocking him down.

87
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: We're talking about a war hero who has lost so much,

88
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: has sacrificed so much, and he just makes a comment

89
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter something that he feels very strongly about, and

90
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: he's absolutely ransacked on Twitter. I mean, these people are

91
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: going after him. They are destroying or trying to keyboard

92
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: destroy him. I texted him and I've been texting with him,

93
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: and I don't think it doesn't It doesn't bother him.

94
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: And he knew when you say something like that on Twitter,

95
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: he knew that in the Twitter sphere it was going

96
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: to get a lot of hate, which obviously you got

97
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: a lot of love too, judging by the retweets. But

98
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: I've this is great. I don't see a single good

99
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: comment on here. And so I was just talking with

100
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: the guys at Ee Apparel. I feel like I feel

101
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: like there's some something going on with Twitter where they

102
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: are putting they're putting the bad comments on top, so

103
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: that that's all you could see, so that you sit

104
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: here and scroll like I'm doing, and you see nothing

105
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: but hate and anger and disruption and rejection. That's what

106
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: you see. I've told you guys before, be careful with

107
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: social media. You don't know. You don't know what you're seeing.

108
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm seeing. You you think you're

109
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: putting something out there and you get all this negativity back,

110
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: or you get all this positivity back, and you don't

111
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: know if that's accurate on what people are seeing. You

112
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean, So be careful. I'm gonna I'm

113
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna get my brother Parker in here, and I'm gonna

114
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 1: borrow him and borrow his brain. Is a smart dude,

115
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get to your questions. Grangersmith Podcast at

116
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. I'm gonna answer some of these and

117
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna dive in. Thank you for watching Episode sixty

118
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: A little bit of a milestone. Welcome to the podcast,

119
00:07:18,000 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: wrote the intro, did my time and long line foun

120
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: im going back ration. I brought Parker in here because

121
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: sometimes I feel like if I sit in a room

122
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: and talk to a microphone boy myself for too long,

123
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I lose perspective on what I'm talking about and what

124
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm answering, and you could help me with that. The

125
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: episode is already you've already been talking. No, I'm just

126
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: talking about like on the last episode and all the

127
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: ones before that. I start getting I'll talk for like

128
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: seven or eight minutes, and I'll realize I'm starting to

129
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: lose perspective on the question, and bless someone's feeding off

130
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah that makes sense. Well, then you're just

131
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: kind of in your own head and you don't know

132
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: if what you're saying is making sense. Yeah. So where

133
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: we sit today, it is the day before Thanksgiving. This

134
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: podcast will come out on Monday, a couple of days

135
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving. And where are we withye Apparel? With the farm?

136
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: This has typically been the craziest time of the year

137
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: for us, and it might not be this year, right,

138
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: might not be the craziest day of the year. I

139
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: don't really know what to expect because we've been doing

140
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: your I feel kind of bad because I always just

141
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: talk about business when I come on here, and I

142
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: don't know if that's interesting or not. I guess that's

143
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: that's just what I have. I'll just get that over with.

144
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about business because you can bring a different perspective.

145
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: Then we'll answer people's questions. Yeah, basically, we'll see what

146
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: happens with Black Friday. Black Friday, We're going to do well.

147
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: I guess this will release on Cyber Monday, so today

148
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: will be the last day to get twenty percent off

149
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: the whole Ee Apparel store. And what we've been doing

150
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: is every purchase on Ye Apparel is entering you into

151
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: the giveaway for your truck, and so a lot of

152
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: people have already been doing that, and so I think

153
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: that it may slow down the usual Black Friday craze

154
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: because a lot of people have already purchased. But we

155
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: are prepared. Nonetheless, we used to just we used to

156
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: just take off work on Thanksgiving and Friday all the

157
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: way up until Monday. And this was like three years ago,

158
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: and then so we could just show up on Monday

159
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: with like not as many orders as we have now,

160
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: but we would just show up with all those like

161
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: we just had no idea what we were doing. So

162
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: it's it's funny to think about that now. But so

163
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: now we have we have a bunch of people who

164
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: are coming in to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, So

165
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: it should help us. I had a show scheduled for

166
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: Friday in Odessa, Texas. It got canceled, so I'll be

167
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: here helping. And I love the atmosphere. I was doing

168
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of radio interviews today. I love the atmosphere

169
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: Black Friday during at Ee Apparel. Just there's a vibe

170
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: to it, you know. It's like that you feel the

171
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: beginning of the holiday season. Christmas is coming, music's playing,

172
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: maybe LF will be on the TV. Everyone's packing boxes

173
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: and there's just motivation to get the boxes out before Christmas.

174
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, that's our that's our Vietnam, that's

175
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: our joke. Those are the three days that we look

176
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: forward to all year to try to prepare for, and

177
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: it tests us to see how fast we can get

178
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: orders out. And it's fun. Yeah, it's like it's like,

179
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't know when you're like when you're working on

180
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: a weekend, it's probably employees don't feel this way. But

181
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: when you're the boss and you're able to like incentivize

182
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: people to come in and work late, it's like, cool,

183
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: we're all in this together. It's like it's like when

184
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: you're up at three am with your buddy studying in

185
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: school for a test that you have the next day

186
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: or something. It's like, yeah, it sucks, but it's like

187
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of it's just different. It's out of the ordinary,

188
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: so it's kind of fun to kind of be in

189
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: that grind. Yeah, I don't know the two Well, actually,

190
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: the three things that make this Black Friday crazier or

191
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: crazier for us is one the RIB shirt. I guess

192
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: you could add the Shirt of the Month to add

193
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: to that too, because we didn't do the Shirt of

194
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: the Month last year. This is the first year of it, right,

195
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: So we have a Shirt of the Month subscription club,

196
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: so that shirt. You sign up for that and it

197
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: goes out the first of every month. Your size boom

00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: leaves the warehouse. It's going to get to your doorstep

199

232
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: important to me to get feedback. I've been sitting on

233
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: these songs for so long that you start to lose

234
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: perspective on what other people might like. I have my favorites.

235
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:39,400

Speaker 1: What Love looks Like? Where I Get It From? Six

241
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: String Stories, Work Diesel. I like those two earl songs,

242
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: but where I Get it From is probably the one

243
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: that add to my country playlist. And an earl if

244
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm in an earl mood, yeah, working out or something.

245
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: By the time you guys are listening to this podcast

246
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: on Monday, if you're listening real time. I will be

247
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: while you're listening right now. I will be in Indiana

248
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: with Whistling Diesel, a YouTuber, very very popular YouTuber in

249
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: Indiana with a bunch of Diesel trucks, and we're going

250
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: to be shooting the music video with Earl Dibbles Junior

251
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: and Whistling Diesel for the song Diesel. And supposedly it's

252
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: gonna be the high of thirty two degrees, so I'll

253
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: be a little bit chilly. Earl is going to be

254
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: a little bit chilly in his overalls. But that's what

255
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing right now as you're listening to this man,

256
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: What else does that get us caught up to where

257
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: we are? It's funny that when we were filming Country

258
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: and you Know It visualizer with Earl, it was almost

259
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: like pass out hot August in Texas, and then now

260
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be just absolutely freezing for Earl's next video.

261
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Earl's just a world traveler, but you never know, he's

262
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: always wearing the same thing. Doesn't prepare very well, I

263
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: guess yeah. Our director, videographer, producer, mister Everything video, Paul

264
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Dale Serta, was like, maybe maybe Earl could have some

265
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: coveralls on because it's gonna be so cold, And I

266
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: was like, you can't change Earl's clothes, but he just

267
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Then it becomes another character if

268
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: it's changed clothes, it's like you have to see the

269
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: overalls and the white tank top and the green hat

270
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: and the muddy boots, no matter what the weather. And

271
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: when we filmed Earl in the Holler music video is

272
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: eighteen degrees here in Texas, So I don't think it's

273
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna beanny colder than that, hopefully in Indiana next week.

274
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: Is that all the housekeeping we have. I'm fasting right now,

275
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: so I'm like, I'm a little lightheaded in so it's

276
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: only too in the afternoon and I'm fasting all the

277
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 1: way to Thanksgiving dinner. How are you? How are you feeling?

278
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Does your stomach hurt or do you have a headache

279
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: or anything? No, I'm just a little lightheaded. And last

280
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: time you ate was dinner last night. No, I wasn't

281
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: that brave. I thought about doing that, but I've chickened out. Honestly,

282
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: that's the only excuse I have. But so I ate.

283
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: I got up this morning at six and had a

284
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: shake and a little protein bar, but a protein shake

285
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: and a protein bar. It sits. It's like my normal

286
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: lunchtime anyway. Yeah, okay, that's not too bad. No, no,

287
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: it's not bad. It's mainly the thought that I've done

288
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour fast before this will be just

289
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: over thirty hours. And it's mainly the thought that I'm

290
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: going to sleep tonight hungry. And that is that's the

291
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: reason I didn't finish dinner last night and decide, because

292
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I don't want to go to

293
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: bed Wednesday night just so hung because I'm not used

294
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: to it. Some of you listening might be thinking, oh,

295
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: that's weak. I do it all the time. You might well,

296
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: Grangel will come in my office at like eleven fifteen

297
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: and be asking about lunch, so this is a big

298
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: deal for him, and that it's two forty and he

299
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: hasn't eaten lunch yet. Like you eat, you eat pretty often.

300
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: The last time I did this was I was on tour,

301
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: and it's easy on tour because I'll eat dinner at

302
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: five pm and then I'll just cut it off. That'll

303
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: be the last meal I have. The next day. I'll

304
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: get on the airplane, fly back on a normal tour,

305
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: fly home, and then wait all the way to dinner

306
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: to eat. That's like twenty four hours. That's kind of fun.

307
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: You've never done it. No, no, So now I'm going

308
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: to be able to just crush Thanksgiving dinner? Are you

309
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: doing it? Partly to do it and then partly just

310
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: timing it so that you enjoy Thanksgiving that much more

311
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: and appreciate it. Yeah, there's pretty much three reasons. One,

312
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: I just want to crush Thanksgiving dinner and just be like,

313
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: hold nothing back. I can't wait, just destroy it. And

314
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: then two, it's a mental challenge, kind of like you

315
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: do seventy five hard. It's just a it's a true

316
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: mental challenge to to every time like my literally right now,

317
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: my stomachs growling. Like I said, it's only two forty

318
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, but every time your stomach growls, it's

319
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: it's a reminder that you're in a way tied to food.

320
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: You're addicted to that supplement of food, and all day long,

321
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: especially me, I'm just thinking about where's my next meal,

322
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: When could I get my next meal? How long do

323
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: I have for my next meal? And if you just

324
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: eliminate that from your day, it freeze up so much time,

325
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: energy effort. I mean, like just the thought of me

326
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: having no lunch and dinner tonight, I'm like, man, I

327
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: got those free time. I don't have to because you

328
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: know what, I it's always like what am I going

329
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: to eat? Am I going to cook? It? Is Amber

330
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: going to cook it? Are we going to go out

331
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: to eat? Are we? Am I going to get to go?

332
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: If you just go a whole workday without eating, it

333
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: just almost puts your mind at ease. It's like I

334
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: got this water, I don't have to worry about food,

335
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: so I can just get whatever done I need to

336
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: get done. Yeah, and our minds are fully our bodies

337
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: are fully capable of doing that without losing weight or anything.

338
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: So then the third reason is today is the day

339
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 1: I'll finish Malachi. So this i'll officially I have two

340
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: more chapters when I get home, of officially finishing the

341
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: entire Bible. So it's a little bit of a celebration

342
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: for that. I read the New Testament in its entirety,

343
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: from cover to cover, basically Matthew to Revelation. And then

344
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: this is all during the pandemic. And then I started

345
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: at Genesis. I've read everything up to Malachi, so today

346
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: I'll finish it. And throughout the Bible there's always fasting

347
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: going on, and it's a people fasted in the Bible too,

348
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: focus on what they're what, like to spiritually focused on

349
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: what they need to be thinking about. It takes away

350
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: the distraction, the last almost of food, like takes it

351
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: out of your mind and you redirect it to it physically.

352
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: And it's like a way to show God that you're

353
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: willing to put away your human needs for a little

354
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: bit to focus on interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I guess it's

355
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: a good time of the year to do it. I

356
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: think that's what I heard Cameron Haynes talking the other

357
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: day about those elk hunts that where they'd go out

358
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: into the mountains for you know, six or seven days

359
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: or four or five days, whatever it is. And you know,

360
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: getting the elk is is a big part of it.

361
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: But then just on a daily basis, figuring out what

362
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: you're going to eat, you know, if they'll shoot shoot

363
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: like grouse or squirrels, or sometimes they'll pack bags and

364
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: He's like, and then it really just brings into perspective like, man,

365
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: do you have food in your stomach and do you

366
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: have a place to sleep tonight? Like those are the

367
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: two most important things, and you have some water. It's like,

368
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: those are the three things that matters, like food, water,

369
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: and shelter. He's like, and so for those you know,

370
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: four or five days out in the mountains, it just

371
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: simplifies life and it shows you how simple it is.

372
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: I love that kind of stuff because it's got to

373
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: hurt humanity knowing that we we live in a world

374
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: where those three things are taken care of, at least

375
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: in a first world country, like most of us listening

376
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: to this podcast, or I'm assuming most of us are

377
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: from first world countries. I know that we have we

378
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: have some South America, we have some Central America listening.

379
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: But most of us don't really have to worry about

380
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: where we're going to sleep tonight and if we're going

381
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: to get some food in our belly and water today.

382
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: But one hundred and fifty years ago, everybody on the

383
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: earth had to think about that, and everything before one

384
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years ago, everything before. Your food's not

385
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: your ail, aren't guaranteed, everything's perishable, there's no refrigerators in freezers,

386
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: and you're not really sure about your shelter. So I

387
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: love to be able to put that in perspective and

388
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: get out in the wild a little bit and test

389
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: your the old native spirit that's inside of you, yeah,

390
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: humbles you. And also air conditioning. That's the other thing

391
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: we constantly live wherever we live, whatever season it is,

392
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: it's always like seventy degrees fahrenheit, because that's where we're comfortable.

393
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: But in the old days, they're just wearing wool, you know,

394
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: and one hundred degrees. I live in a barn now,

395
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: so I could tell you imagine Earl's house, the old

396
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: rock house. It wasn't any better in Earl's house one

397
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years ago than it is in my

398
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: barn now. And my barn now is insulated, and it

399
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: gets to one hundred degrees. So those people are sitting

400
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: in there, old people, babies, and one hundred degrees. And

401
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: then in the winter, it's never going to get warmer

402
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: than like fifty degrees and at night that's the warmest

403
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: it's going to be in the winter. If you lived

404
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: in those days and you didn't have ac or heat,

405
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: well do you think you'd live in Texas? Because man,

406
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: it is nice to be in Texas when it's sixty

407
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: five in December and not really cold, but I mean

408
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: being with a newborn baby in that August heat, I

409
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: think maybe i'd live a little further north. I'm reading

410
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: this book with London right now, called Little Cabin, Big

411
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: Woods or something like that. It's like an old it's

412
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: an old, one hundred year old book. It's about this

413
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: family living in a little cabin in Wisconsin Woods one

414
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years ago, and it's really interesting to

415
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: see their life. And most of it is building up

416
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: towards the winter time, preparing for the winter. And then

417
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: once you're in there, you have a fire going, and

418
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: the kids really don't leave the house because it's so

419
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: brutal in Wisconsin in the wintertime, you know, negative twenty degrees.

420
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: Can't go out there. The dad goes out there every

421
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: day and hunts and does his shores. So yes, so

422
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: much of your life is just chopping firewood, getting ready

423
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: for the winter. Yeah, yeah, that's a pan the butt.

424
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: Do you want to answer a question on here? Sure,

425
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: let's let's see what Let's take a quick break, get

426
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: back and answer this question. Very grateful that today's podcast

427
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: is brought to you in part by headspace, and this

428
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: is just such a good sponsor to have in a

429
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: time like this, when a time when you know normal

430
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: life is crazy anyway. But then you couple in what

431
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty has been, and everyone is searching for a

432
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: way to rest their brain, a way to find some

433
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: kind of relief, and you've got You've heard me talk

434
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: about this before that it's so important to have mindfulness.

435
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: We always think about resting your legs. If you've been

436
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: out working and your legs are tired. You want to say,

437
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: I want to get on the couch and kick up

438
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: my feet and rest my legs. No one ever says

439
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: I want to sit down and kick up my feet

440
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: and rest my brain. And it's the most important thing

441
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: you could possibly rest, especially in a time of craziness

442
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: and a time of stress, which is most of the time,

443
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: you got to admit. So that's when, So that's when

444
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: headspace comes in. Headspace is such a simple app. It's

445
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: very inexpensive. You can actually get started for free, and

446
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: you could dive in for a minute sixty seconds, you

447
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: could dive in for ten minutes, and it's meditation, it's mindfulness,

448
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with being spiritual. So if you

449
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: think that meditation is attached to some kind of far

450
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: Eastern spiritual and it's not that at all. This is

451
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: simply being mindful and making sure you're in the present moment,

452
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: and headspace will guide you down that path, so you

453
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: don't have to do anything but close your eyes and

454
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: be still, and then headspace comes in with a million

455
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: different ways to do it and they'll guide you into

456
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: a relaxation, a chance to recharge. I use it to

533
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: I log in to ship an order and I'll see

534
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: some village in Asia, and so he said, sometimes I'll

535
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: just stop what I'm doing, and I was like, who

536
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: is ordering from this little village in Asia? And I'll

537
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: pull up Google Maps and he said, I'll pull it

538
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: up and I'll do a satellite view and I'll zoom

539
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: in on their like where they live, just to see

540
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: where this yee hat's going. It was so cool to

541
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: think about it, think about somebody sitting there watching Earl

542
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: Dibble's videos. Well, we did free worldwide shipping for a

543
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: whole weekend, like a week ago, so it was really

544
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: cool to see all the people. He was like, who

545
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: were like, I'd buy a shirt, but man, it's like

546
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: twenty five bucks to ships. We're like, let's just do

547
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: free worldwide shipping just for one weekend so everybody can

548
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: get something. So that's so cool. Hopefully there's a lot

549
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: of people out there that finally were able to get something.

550
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: MATEO would I would freak out if I was walking

551
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: around in Finland and saw ye yee shirt, I'll freak out.

552
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: And then the last shout out I want to give

553
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: to Sydney and Sydney for you the listeners that have

554
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: listened lot. Sydney was a veteran with PTSD that lost

555
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: her dog, who also had PTSD and had been with

556
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: her through all this, and we talked through that on

557
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: the podcast, and she lost her dog, and I at

558
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: the end of what we kind of talked through, I

559
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: recommended that she get a She got a puppy because

560
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: it's always it's always fun to get a puppy for

561
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: that distraction. So if you're grieving over a lost dog,

562
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: a puppy is a great way to distract you and

563
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: then slowly, over time, you find yourself falling in love

564
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: with a new puppy. So I asked her if she

565
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: would do that. So Sidney just wrote back to the

566
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: podcast with a picture. He said, Hey, I listened to

567
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: you and I got a new puppy. It's honestly helped

568
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: a lot. Thanks for the advice. His name is Bruce

569
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: and we're watching your new podcast. So there's a picture

570
00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: of a German Shepherd puppy watching the podcast. So awesome, Sydney.

571
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: Let's get to a question. This question is from John

572
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: in Woodinville, Washington. Says, my question is how did you

573
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: come up with all your characters like Earl and what

574
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: made you do them? Parker was there for the creation

575
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: of Earl. You were actually the cameraman. There's a funny

576
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: video on YouTube of behind the scenes of Country Boy

577
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: the making of Earl Dubles Junior, and it really shows

578
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes of us creating that. We didn't

579
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: know what we were creating, but you could hear Tyler

580
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: directing Parker and Parker's voice is real high because you were, like,

581
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: what thirteen years old. But to answer your question, John,

582
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: that those characters were just created on a whim. There

583
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: wasn't any rhyme or reason. We just we were trying

584
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: to do some to promote the music, and we're like, hey,

585
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: let's do this the funny country guy. But it's very

586
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: much like a bunch of family members of ours, so

587
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: it was super easy to jump into that character. But

588
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: that's really all it was too. It's like, let's be

589
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: that country guy. And Tyler said, I think his name

590
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: should be Earl Dibbles Junior, and I said, I like it. Really,

591
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: there wasn't much more than that. Well, one thing that

592
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: would be cool that people can do is if you

593
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: go to YouTube and you just type in gs Band

594
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: one word. I think it's kind of hard to find

595
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: because it's like a it's a smaller channel. But you

596
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: can find a lot of the videos that we used

597
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: to make that you used to make, and it was

598
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: just like Saturday Night Live type skits, just stupid stuff

599
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: of characters that no one will ever hear of again.

600
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: But there's there's some pretty funny ones that we see

601
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: because people don't know that you just always we just

602
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: always like to just mess around and just make stuff

603
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: that we thought was funny, and that's what we thought

604
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: Earl was. We didn't think anything would happen with it. No,

605
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: there's one called Where's the Radio st And that you're

606
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: in that you're filming that. It was me and you

607
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: on a radio tour and you're little. Yeah, I remember

608
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: that like twelve or something. Maybe, I don't know. Let's

609
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: see here this question that was back when it was

610
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: a lot harder to just put together videos too. It

611
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: was a big deal. You didn't have an iPhone. Yeah. Yeah.

612
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 1: This question from Corey Foster, who is as associate pastor

613
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: at Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, said, Hey, I know you're

614
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: a man of faith and read the Bible daily, which

615
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: translation do you read most often? And it's a good

616
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: question and sometimes a contested question. It's crazy how some

617
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: people will really contest for reading the King James version.

618
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: They're like, you got to read if you ain't reading

619
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: King James and you ain't reading the Bible. And then

620
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: it goes all the way to what's the there's a

621
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: I think it's called the Message. Have you heard about

622
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: the Message? It's like a new age translation that's supposed

623
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: to be super hip and very easy to read. Caleb

624
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: was telling me a little bit about it, and Caleb

625
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: said he read it for a little bit until it

626
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: got to the point where it said I think it

627
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: said when Jesus was rebuking Satan and it said Satan,

628
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: get the heck out of here. Or no, no, he

629
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't have said that. It said Satan, beat it beat

630
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 1: it Satan, Like, oh, man, it's Caleb said. He closed

631
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: that Bible and was like, oh, I can't read this version, Corey.

632
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: I read the I've for a long time. I've read

633
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: the NIV. And then I just kind of I wouldn't

634
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: say switched, but I'm kind of hybrid on the EAV

635
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: and I've my mother always reads the NIV, so that's

636
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: how I started that one. What is that new International? Yeah?

637
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: And then the kids at school they started reading the ESV.

638
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: So when the kids started reading es V, and John

639
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: Piper reads ESV, one of my favorite favorite guys to

640
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: listen to, I figured I should probably get a hold

641
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: of one of those two. What's the difference in any translation?

642
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: The difference is, you know, they it all comes from

643
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: it all comes from scrolls or scribes that have that

644
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: have written a long time ago, from the Greek or

645
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 1: the Aramaic or Hebrew languages, and so over time, these

646
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: length these different languages get translated to English, and there's

647
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: always discrepancy from Greek to Latin to English on a

648
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: certain word that could mean two or three different things.

649
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: So it's really a preference of what style you like.

650
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: And most of these have been most of these old

651
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: versions have been. It's not like and this is a

652
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: misconception with the Bible. There's a couple misconceptions. One, people

653
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: tend to think that there's mistakes in it because it's

654
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: been written so many times and retranslated so many times

655
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: by so many generations and so many people, and so

656
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: you think about, oh, I mean it was written by

657
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: the apostle whoever, at whatever time, which is all different

658
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: times and all different apostles and all different prophets. But

659
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: then it got to this King of England and then

660
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: he wanted to say something, so he added that, and

661
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: then his scribe came and made his version of it.

662
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: And then it got changed again when it came to

663
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: the Americas. And that's just not true. And we made

664
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: it say beat it. Yeah's Satan, it's not true because

665
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: we have actually found not we archaeologist, they've actually found

666
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: many of the old artifacts of the old ancient text,

667
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: namely the Dead Sea Scrolls. Have you heard about the

668
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: Dead Sea Scrolls. It is probably one of the greatest archaeologist, archaeologial,

669
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 1: archaeological discoveries of for sure for Christian Christians and Jews.

670
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: But what it did was they've they found these scrolls

671
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: in a cave that were from the first century and older.

672
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: And they opened up the scrolls and they pulled them

673
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: out and there they were handwritten by somebody in the

674
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: first century a d. And they get The first thing

675
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: they did was they got these scrolls and they started

676
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: matching them up to the current text that we have,

677
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: and it was right on. It was exactly right, which

678
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 1: is mind blowing that it could last that long through

679
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: these old ancient scribes. And when I think of scribes,

680
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: I kind of think about Game of Thrones when there's

681
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: like little monks scribes, like with a little candle and

682
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: they're dipping their little feather and ink, and that's literally

683
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: what their job was before the invention of the printing press.

684
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: The other misconception I was getting with with the Bible

685
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: that I've heard people say to me is well, I mean,

686
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: I understand that you believe the Bible, but it's all

687
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: written by man, so you know, man makes mistakes and

688
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: man can manipulate however he wants. Totally get it. That's

689
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: valid argument. But the fact is this, Christians, we have

690
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: to believe because the text says that. We have to believe.

691
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: The Scripture tells us that the Word is God. And

692
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: because of that, in many different ways, it will say this,

693
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: in many different forms or sentences, it will say that

694
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: the Scripture is true, the Word is God. God made

695
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: the word, God breathed out the word. It says it

696
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: in many different ways, and so because of that, you

697
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: have to believe. Okay, yes it was written by the

698
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: hand of a man, but it was anointed by God.

699
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: It has to be. If you don't believe that, you

700
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: shouldn't believe anything else in the Bible. If you don't

701
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: at least believe that this was this was anointed by God,

702
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: this was commissioned through man by the word of God.

703
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: If you don't believe that, you might as well not

704
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: believe anything else in there. Just throw it all out.

705
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter. So you got to start with

706
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: that before you start in it at all with any

707
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: of the stuff we've been talking about. Uh. And that

708
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 1: was a big tangent from what Corey asked, But there

709
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: you go. Here's a question from William says, Hey, Grandrid's

710
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: William from Michigan. Our family are longtime fans, and we've

711
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: made trips to round Rock and Butler, PA to see

00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: you this year, and as a few of our venues

713

Speaker 1: you at the intersection again. Then my question is Earl

00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: has been doing dip them and pick them for a

716
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,759

Speaker 1: you see I hope to see you again soon, even

718
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,320

721
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,800
Speaker 1: messed up with my fasting. How many cups of coffee

722
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: have you had? That's actually probably it probably like six

723
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: six cups of coffee and no food. Yeah, oh man,

724
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: I would be feeling terrible. I can't drink very much

725
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: coffee or I get I start to feel anxious. I

726

730
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: Them started in twenty thirteen by Tyler and I were

731
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: at a venue and we thought, hey, let's go pick

732
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: some college football games as earl based on who's the

733
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: country your team. We put one episode out on YouTube

734
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: and there was a producer at CBS Sports in New

735
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: York City that somehow I guess he maybe was a

736
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: fan or he saw that video and he immediately emailed

737
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: Tyler and said, we want this for our show. It's

738
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: called Inside College Football CBS Sports. We want this as

739
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: part of our show. We've been needing some kind of

740
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 1: creative break, comedic break, and we said yes, and it's

741
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: now we're on year seven and now Parker writes all

742
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: the jokes. One more hat that you have to wear.

743
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: We have a group little document with me Tyler, excuse me,

744
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: Tyler not involved, don't Tyler, don't want to be involved anymore.

745
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: As Parker and Hayden, we have a group document called

746
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: Diploma and pick them and we have the each week's

747
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: games and we'll get on and each of us will

748
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: usually write a joke for at least one matchup. And

749
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 1: we have to do this Friday, as we are this week.

750
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: So we get out there and Parker films it and

751
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: you better be funny. That's pretty much the deal. I've

752
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: separated these questions now into heavy and light. You want

753
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: to go to a heavy, Sure, go to a heavy

754
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: and you answer it. I'm randomly picking. That's a long one.

755
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:12,800
Speaker 1: Let me not do a long one. This is better, okay,

756
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: it says ah ah, Farker, congratulations, you got a good one.

757
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: I saw this as it came in. I saw this

758
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: as it came in and as luck of the draw,

759
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: I randomly picked it today. I've been wanting to address this.

760
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: You ready, Parker, It says, Hello Granger, Please go back

761
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: to screening the fan questions. You are an entertainer and

762
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: recently your podcast has taken a turn towards subjects that

763
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 1: are way too deep. I understand folks want advice, but

764
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: you shouldn't put yourself in a position to be giving

765
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 1: advice to your followers who are experiencing mental health is shoes.

766
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: I get that you want to connect with us, but

767
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: this isn't a way to do it. I fast forwarded

768
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: through most of your last three sessions. I want you

769
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: to know that you and your family and touring I

770
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: want I want to know more about your family and touring,

771
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: life in the country. It's very depressing to tune into

772
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: a show to hear about personal problems of people I

773
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: don't know, and really embarrassing to watch you stumble through

774
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: a long and drawn out response. Please give us more

775
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:36,280
Speaker 1: of you, and not your fans and their personal needs

776
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: and problems. Sincerely, Cat, I can see I could see

777
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: where she's coming from, because you know, if you sit

778
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,959
Speaker 1: for a second, you think it's the type of people

779
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: who say you should know your place as an artist,

780
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: or as an influencer or as a comedian. It's like,

781
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: stick to jokes, to music, whatever. But then at a

782
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: certain point, sure, it's like, at what, at what point

783
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: can I it's I don't think it's a matter of

784
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: you wanting to hmmm. I think I think it's a

785
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: matter of you just wanting to be real and authentic

786
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: with people, and at a certain point, if there's an

787
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: opportunity on your platform to be able to have a

788
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: conversation with someone and to give your advice and say

789
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: multiple times, first of all, I'm honored that you trust

790
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: me to even ask me this question, and you're just

791
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:48,359
Speaker 1: talking to them as if they were your friend. Yeah. Yeah,

792
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: I saw this come in and I kind of put

793
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: in the batch and it's from Cat and Oregon. Shout

794
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: out to Oregon, by the way, And I'll tell it

795
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,720
Speaker 1: problems I have with this. Kat, you might be great,

796
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: he says, you're a fan since twenty ten. You're probably great.

797
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. You're probably great. And I'm

798
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: assuming that if you weren't behind your keyboard, this would

799
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: be this would look different like if me and you

800
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: were actually in a meet and great talking over dinner.

801
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: I think this would look differently than you typing this out,

802
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 1: because when you type it out, it looks very contrite,

803
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: it looks very arrogant in a way, it looks very

804
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: self serving, like I me, ME, there's a lot of eyes.

805
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't want this, I deserve this. I don't. I'm

806
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: not going to sit through and listen to other people's problems.

807
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: I fast forwarded because I want I You're basically saying

808
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: you want to be entertained. Dance monkey, you know the

809
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: dance and Chicken in Pure Country. You want to turn

810
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 1: on the stove and watch me dance for you. And

811
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: if I do anything more than dance for you, you

812
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 1: have a problem with that because I am your entertainment, right,

813
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm getting. I could be wrong.

814
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: But here's what's crazy is that ten minutes ago on

815
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: this podcast, I told a story of somebody that was

816
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: suffering through PTSD and they had a dog that was

817
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: suffering through PTSD. The dog died. The person writes the podcast.

818
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: I'm struggling with loss. It's a different kind of loss.

819
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: It's a dog. I lost a dog and I have

820
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: a connection with this dog because of my PTSD and

821
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: the war that I was in, So I talked through it.

822
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, i don't have a PhD in psychology.

823
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm not Jordan Peterson. I'm not doctor phil. But I've

824
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: always promised on this podcast that I could just do

825
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: my best to talk to you as if we're driving

826
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: in a truck together. I'm driving, you're sitting shotgun and

827
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: you're we're just shooting back ideas and you're saying, you know,

828
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: what could I tell you about this whole problem I'm having,

829
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 1: Because that's what friends do, right, That's what friends do,

830
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: is we kick back, we talk, We hashed through some ideas,

831
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: and it just so happens that this person that emailed

832
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: me with their PTSD ends up taking my advice and

833
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: now they have a puppy. And I'm not definitely not

834
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: trying to pat myself on the back because this is

835
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 1: not my doing. But through a normal conversation on the podcast,

836
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: she's at least done something now to move forward and

837
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 1: start a healing process. So she's gotten a dog. We're

838
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: talking about a war hero here that has suffered defending

839
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: our freedom here in this country, the freedom the very

840
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: freedom that I get to use on this podcast to

841
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: express my views and use my first minute rights, and

842
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 1: the very freedom that Kat you get to type me

843
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: on an email and say whatever you think, and you

844
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: have the right to do that. So there is there's

845
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:03,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a push pool going on here

846
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 1: whether I feel like there are some people that could benefit.

847
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: And we talked about Drew. I talked about Drew in

848
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: the intro of this podcast. Who was the young man

849
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: fourteen years old that's been beaten by his by stepdad

850
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 1: baseball bat and now he's called the cops and he's

851
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: written me Now since then, seems to be in a

852
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: better place. So I understand where she's coming from. But

853
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 1: when you say things like this has nothing to do

854
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: with me. But when you say things like it's very

855
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: depressing to tune into a show to hear about personal

856
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: problems with people I don't know, Like, dang Cat, Cat

857
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: must be living high. I mean, wow, must be good. Yeah,

858
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: life is good for Cat in Oregon. Yeah. I don't

859
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: really know what to say about that one. I tell

860
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: you, you you got a good one, dude. It's funny that

861
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: said you're you got this next one? I mean that's

862
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 1: what a podcast is, and that's what happens when you

863
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 1: have Q and A is it's literally people asking you questions.

864
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: It's like, what do you it's that's just what the

865
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: podcast is. Don't go listen to music if that's what

866
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 1: you want, Yeah, Kat, we have plenty of inter entertaining videos. Kat.

867
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming this has been This email came October the nineteenth,

868
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: so I'm assuming you're not listening anymore because I've answered

869
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: a lot of deeper questions since then, So I'm assuming

870
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: you probably gave up on me. Hopefully you're listening to

871
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: just music and not listen to the podcast, but if

872
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: you possibly, I'm I'm assuming you would expect me to

873
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: go through these emails and every time, every time something

874
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to do with tour life or music,

875
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: I would just delete it, just, Oh, somebody's got a problem, delite,

876
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: somebody's got another problem the elite. I don't think that's

877
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: the way this should go. I don't think that that's

878
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: the way this podcast would be fair. If I'm open

879
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: it up, like you said, Parker to questions, I don't

880
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna do that. I think I'm gonna I

881
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna dive in otherwise I won't have questions.

882
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. You can't choose one or

883
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: the other. Kat. I would say this to you too,

884
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 1: Love your girl, thank you for being a fan since

885
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: twenty ten. Total respect that you've you've followed me for

886
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: ten years and that you had the guts to email

887
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: me something that's that is a huge criticism to what

888
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing, So respect for that. I would also say,

889
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: the way you worded this, it might not be how

890
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: you feel, but we're all we're all doomed for suffering

891
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: of some kind. Sometimes we hit the sunshine for a

892
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: little bit and we enjoy it and life is good,

893
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 1: but suffering is around the corner. And I would I

894
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: would hope that when you do hit your time of

895
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: suffering or time of need of some sort, that you

896
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: have a lot of friends that do care about someone

897
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: else's problems and do want to help you. And I understand,

898
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: like when you turn on Netflix and you want to

899
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: watch The Office, It's like, I'm not saying you're Michael Scott,

900
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: but you know, at a certain point, I don't know

901
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: if what people I mean. We're here to cater to

902
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: the audience to entertain people and to get their mind

903
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: off of whatever they're going through, and then number two

904
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: to help people. And then ideally you're doing both of

905
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: those things at the same time. You don't want to

906
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:37,240
Speaker 1: go too much doctor Phil and too much just superficial.

907
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: I mean, cause if you want just a superficial just

908
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: look at the rest of the music industry. If you

909
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,320
Speaker 1: want just if you just want to face surface level,

910
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: not deep at all, don't know anything about the artist,

911
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: let it be a complete mystery, no realism at all,

912
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,440
