1
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Sunday Sampler, Thank you guys for being here. A bunch

2
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: of clips from a bunch of the podcasts. On the

3
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Bobby Cast, Eddie Mike Dia myself talked about a bunch

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: of different topics like real songs from fake bands, like

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: TV bands like the Zach Attack. That's fake band, but

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: they didn't have a song that was kind of pretty good. Also,

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: Doctor Josie on her show In the Vets Office, she

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 1: talked with doctor Shake Chatterjee, a veterinarian but also a

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: villain on a reality TV show, which.

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: Is Love is Blind.

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: So it's gotta be weird, like you're a real vet

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: but also you're a villain on a reality show. They

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: talk about that, exotic animals, and a bunch more So

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: let's get started with a clip from in the Vets

15
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Office with Doctor Josie.

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: You're listening to In the Vets Office with Doctor Joe

17
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: see horse Chack.

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: So one of the big questions I had for you

19
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: is what was it like coming off Love is Blind

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: or the Villains and going back into practice. I don't

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: think it's like any secret that you weren't at the

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: top of everyone's nice list coming off these shows or clients.

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: Did they recognize you? Did anyone say anything?

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 4: How was that?

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 5: Yeah? So it's interesting. You know, I just opened up

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 5: about this really recently, something I didn't really feel like

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 5: talking about when I was going through it. But as

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 5: soon as the show came out and I kind of

29
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 5: became this villain. And let me also say, you know,

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 5: these shows that edit you to make you look a

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 5: certain way. Everybody kind of has this idea in the

32
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 5: back of their mind that that happens, but it's not

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: till you go for it that you realize, like just

34
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 5: how much they can twist things and take things out

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 5: of context and so on and so forth. So so

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 5: not only was I the villain, but I wasn't able

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 5: to talk about what happened because we'd signed all these

38
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 5: contracts say hey, whatever comes out on the show, like

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: you have to go along with it, and if you

40
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 5: speak out against it, they're like, we're going to sue

41
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 5: you and blah blah blah. So I not only could

42
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 5: I speak out against it, but also I didn't even

43
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: feel like, you know, people wanted me to apologize, and

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm not going to apologize. I didn't do anything.

45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, like the show made me

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 5: look a certain way. I'm not going to apologize for

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 5: something I didn't do, or you know, to the extent

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 5: that I was portrayed, and that made people even more

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 5: bad because I'm like unapologetic about it. So what happened

50
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 5: is the clinic that I worked at in Chicago got

51
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 5: review bombed by strangers on the internet really and I

52
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 5: got I got to let go. So this happened within

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 5: you know, two months of the show coming out, so

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 5: I didn't get to even experience much of clients recognizing

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 5: me or anything. I was. It was a corporate practice

56
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 5: and one of the big corporations. I don't want to

57
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: say who it was, but it was one of the

58
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: big corporations. And you know, first they put me on

59
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 5: like a leave, like a paid lead, and I was like,

60
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: all right, sweet, I'm just gonna go to Miami. Then

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: I guess, you know, just like hang out during this

62
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: paid lead. But you know, obviously I didn't. I didn't

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: have a good feeling about it. I'm like, oh, am

64
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: I being put on this paid lead. And I remember

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 5: I was at the pool one day and I get

66
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: a call from I guess one of the HR people

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: or you know, somebody higher up in the corporate and

68
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: they like basically told me, like hey, you know where

69
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: what they call it an involuntary separation, Like okay, that's

70
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: a fancy way of saying I'm fired because of of

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: these the reality, and I can't blame them. I can't

72
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 5: be mad at the corporation even because who would want that?

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 5: You know, that's not good for business.

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, that brings up a really interesting point that I

75
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: think about a lot and met especially is how dependent

76
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: these clinics are on reviews, customer reviews on Google and Yelp.

77
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: I feel like I know that when I owned a practice,

78
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: I checked them every single day, and bad reviews are

79
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: really detrimental for business. I don't know that other healthcare

80
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: providers have that same you know that they worry about

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: them as much as we do.

82
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 5: That's the same extent. I mean, I think reviews are

83
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 5: important for most industries, but some industries, like you said,

84
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 5: rely on them and focus on them a lot one.

85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 5: But you know, it worked out really great for me

86
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: in the long run because I had gotten this really

87
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 5: big signing bonus, just like maybe even like six months

88
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 5: before the show came out, like big, big, signing bonus,

89
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 5: like I didn't even This was like you know, around

90
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 5: COVID time when ve's were like really in demand, so

91
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: like close close to a year's salary type of signing bonus.

92
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 5: And I was like, okay, well what happens with the

93
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 5: signing bonus? Then? Like I didn't leave, so you're telling

94
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 5: me to leave, and they're like, oh, you're gonna have

95
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 5: to You're gonna have to get it back, and I

96
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: was just like I can't, like I spent and then

97
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 5: ultimately I had a lawyer review everything and send them

98
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 5: a letter, and my lawyer said, just just don't pay

99
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 5: him back and if they'll want to do something, they'll

100
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: do something. And you know, they didn't do anything. So

101
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 5: I took that sign on bonus and I I was

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 5: loving Miami so much that I was like, you know what,

103
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna move down here, you know. So I

104
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 5: had I had a little period there where you thankfully

105
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 5: I didn't have to work to this, to this nice

106
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 5: bonus that I had, So I had a lot of

107
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 5: fun and then and frankly, I just started missing being

108
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: in practice because that's you know, that was my whole life. Really. Yeah,

109
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 5: I was DJ two and had my fun things. But

110
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 5: you know, we go to a lot of school. I mean,

111
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 5: being a vet is more than just a profession for

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 5: most of us, right It's something that you know, is

113
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 5: like a part of it, right, Yeah, exactly. So I

114
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: was like, you know what, let me get my Florida license.

115
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 5: And the demand for vets down here is just as

116
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 5: high as everywhere else in the country, right So. And

117
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 5: I had never worked in this urgent care environment before,

118
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 5: so I didn't realize how much I was going to

119
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 5: like that. The pay is better too as an early

120
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 5: care vet, because not everybody wants to work those long hours,

121
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: you know, but if they find somebody that will do.

122
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: You have clients down there, does that recognize you from TV?

123
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 5: Oh that's the other thing. While people in Chicago were

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 5: like shunning me, Miami just welcomed me with open arms.

125
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: They just love me down here. And I even felt that,

126
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 5: you know, before I started working down there, I just

127
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 5: felt it socially because you know, my season of Love

128
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: Is Blind was filmed in Chicago. I was the villain.

129
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 5: A lot of people switched stuff on me, you know

130
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: what I mean, And people that knew me switched uff

131
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 5: on me, and I was like, all right, this is

132
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 5: this is cool, you know, and then I come down

133
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 5: to Miami and all of a sudden they're like, oh

134
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 5: my god, we love you, like come to the yacht party,

135
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 5: come to this house party. And I was like, this

136
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 5: is where I've lost, you know, Miami's you know, my

137
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 5: kind of place.

138
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: So it's really it seems like you're handling it pretty well.

139
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 3: Like being labeled a villain, I would say that veterinarians,

140
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 3: I just inherently we are kind of people pleasers for

141
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: the most part. Do you feel like at any point

142
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: you're like, wow, this sucks, Like I wish I'd never

143
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: gone on this show. Are you just like this is it?

144
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: This is what it is?

145
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 6: No?

146
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: Actually, I never never for a second thought that because

147
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: the hate and most of that was all online. In

148
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 5: person is a whole of my story. You know, you're

149
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: like the man of the hour, and especially here in Miami. Yeah,

150
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 5: even though some of this was editing in portrayal, even

151
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 5: that that negatively portrayed version of me, they love that

152
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: here in Miami. They loved it. You know.

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: Come on, I have the list of things that you

154

162
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: eyed pea list this year, and I don't know.

163
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 7: You think you did something to not make that list.

164
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if they didn't do it.

165
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: I can text them and ask them.

166
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 7: Hey, man, I didn't get my black eyed piece this year.

167
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: I will text him and then we'll talk and if

Speaker 1: he sends a message back, all boys and I'm away. Hello,

00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: it's Bobby and Eddie. It's up Ben and we're recording

170
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: a podcast and we're talking about the new Year and

171
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: how traditionally you eat black eyed peas. And I told

172
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: them about how your wife would bring us black eyed

173
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: peas year of the past few years and we'd eat them.

174
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: It's awesome.

175
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: We had a great year because of that, and this

176
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: year we did not get the black eyed peas, and

177
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: we didn't know if we didn't make the cut, like

178
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: we weren't on the list anymore like we felt in

179
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: the rankings.

180
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 7: Or if it was just a bad year for black

181
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 7: eyed peas.

182
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: Maybe she didn't make any right.

183
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: We're just curious because we're talking about you, and we're

184
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: talking about how wonderfully talented you are in your music.

185
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 7: It's so great.

186
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: But then I was like, I didn't get my black

187
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: eyed peas. Now I'm not asking for the black eyed peas,

188
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: but what I'm wondering is did we not make the

189
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: cut or did she not make the peas? Both are

190
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: acceptable seasons change, So let me know. We'll recording for

191
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: the next little bit. If you do hear this, have

192
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: a great day, man, unless we didn't make the list

193
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: and have a moderately good day.

194
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 7: What are black eyed peas like? Like? What do they

195
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 7: taste like?

196
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 8: Like?

197
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 7: What are they?

198
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 9: I don't know if I've ever had black eyed peas?

199
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 9: No way, nah, really, I don't think that I've ever

200
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 9: eaten black eyed peas. I'm definitely never ordered them at

201
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 9: a restaurant, so I know that for sure.

202
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: You don't order them at restaurants. I mean at black

203
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: Eyed Peace. My grandma liked them.

204
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: It's very Southern thing, which I guess is not really

205
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: a Mexican thing. No, so she would make black eyed peas.

206
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: They feel pretty bitter. Okay, they're they're they're like if

207
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: I were to make an analogy, you know, brussels sprouts. Yeah,

208
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: by themselves, kind of bitter, like if you do nothing

209
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: to brussel sprouts, kind of bitter, kind of weird, but

210
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: if you have a bacon on them and honey, and

211
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: russel sprouts became kind of trendy for a while because

212
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: of all the things you could do with them.

213
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 7: They're a little soy sauce.

214
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: Black eyed peas are kind of like that.

215
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: But black eyed peas, remember the little gum family, has

216
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: a pale cream color and distinctive black spot resembling an eye.

217
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: They are thought to have originated in North Africa, where

218
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: they've been eating for centuries. They were introduced by North

219
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: America by Spanish explorers. They are now grown throughout the world,

220
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: especially in American Southern.

221
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,959
Speaker 9: Cooking collared greens, black eyed peas like that kind of

222
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 9: stuff cornbread.

223
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: My grandma was a big black eyed pea person.

224
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 9: Really, so they just look like beans, yeah, with a

225
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 9: little black eye like that is that it.

226
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: That's exactly it.

227
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 7: Okay, do you eat them like beans?

228
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 9: You just kind of yeah, it's they're wet a bowl

229
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 9: and a spoon.

230
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: It's almost like black eyed peas. You can have them

231
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: with the Again, I'm gonna be way wrong, but you

232
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: can have them like in the broth. It's not quite soup,

233
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: but it's wet. Yeah, yeah, or you can just drain

234
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: them completely. But we had we had black eyed peas

235
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: once every couple weeks, but for New Year and so,

236
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: I have this list of the reasons why things are

237
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: for good luck and so. Number two is pork. From

238
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: the Midwest to Germany to eastern Europe. Many people believe

239
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: pork symbolizes progress because pigs root forward as they eat.

240
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, they stick their noses in the ground and eat.

241
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: This protein is often paired with the cabbage or sour krawd.

242
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: But it's.

243
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: The reason it is considered luck is because pigs push forward,

244
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: and they think if you eat a pig who pushes forward,

245
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: you will also push forward in the year. Yes, it's lucky.

246
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Number three grapes eat twelve grapes at midnight on New

247
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Year's Eve for luck. Also, prosperity could be in your future.

248
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: This is according to the Spanish, originating in Spain only

249
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred's. This tradition is known as come ons do

250
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: it las dece uvas de last birthday?

251
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 7: Okay?

252
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: How would you say that?

253
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 7: Say it again? Las doce was it?

254
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: Las deuce uvas de la?

255
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 7: Okay? That's like the good luck midnight grapes.

256
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: How would you say that with the accent? Proper?

257
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 7: I don't even remember what you say.

258
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 9: It's like la, It's like ladoce lados is the midnight

259
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 9: the twelve I blowed up Sing's it so?

260
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 7: Ladoce uvas? Oh? The twelve grapes of good luck? That's

261
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 7: what it is.

262
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 9: Say it las las d'orcevas last birthday?

263
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 7: Okay?

264
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the twelve grapes of good luck. Each of

265
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: the dozen grapes represents a month of the year.

266
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 7: Oh, twelve grapes twelve. That makes sense.

267
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: I remember Morgan number two eating grapes under her table

268
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: at New Year's and I didn't know where that but

269
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: now I see.

270
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 7: Where it's from. Interesting, is she's Spanish?

271
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: I think the opposite, actually, because it's a Spanish tradition. Interesting,

272
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: I think the so the opposite number four greens, as

273
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: in collared greens, any leafy vegetables, and what.

274
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 7: Do those tastes like? The like?

275
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: Not great?

276
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 7: Like green beans?

277
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: No? I like green is better than calli greens.

278
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: Collar greens are good if they're cooked in something like

279
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: my grandma made a bunch of color greens, but it

280
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: was always cooked in like a grease or something that

281
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: made it actually taste better because just the collar green itself,

282
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: the texture is kind of rough. The category of leafy

283
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: vegetables think collar greens. Kale resembles paper money. This is

284
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: why greens are lucky, since it looks like money. Eating

285
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: them is thought to encourage prosperity, a tradition with roots

286
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: in the African I don't know this word diaspora and

287
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: lad exactly and the Civil War. They often serve up

288
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: with black eyed peas, which may represent coins. As if

289
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: that's not enough, eating a plate full of greens will

290
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: start your year on a healthy note. Interesting, Okay, that's

291
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: for number five. Pomegranates.

292
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 7: Pomegrants are good.

293
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: I do like pomegranates, Like have you.

294
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 7: Eaten the fruit? I only drank the juice.

295
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

296
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'll get pomegranates in a plastic case can just

297
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: eat them with the seeds and everything.

298
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: Well, they are the seeds.

299
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I see them at the store, and I've seen

300
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 7: them like cut in half, but I've never.

301
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not talking about the big ones, and I'm

302
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: talking about there are the pomegranate seeds.

303
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: I think that you can eat.

304
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 7: Oh okay, okay, yeah, those are the seeds. Yeah. So

305
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 7: and they're like jelly, they get like soft.

306
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: So I will eat those. I've never eaten a full pomegranate,

307
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: and I don't think. In Greece, it's tradition to smash

308
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: a pomegranate by the front door on New Year's Day.

309
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: The more seeds that spread out, the more fortune you

310
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: can expect. In Judaism, pomegranates are said to contain six

311
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen seeds, which is the number of commandments

312
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: in the Torah at Rashizana, the Jewish New Year. Each

313
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: pomegranate seed represents a wish for the coming year. In Brazil,

314
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: people eat pomegranate seeds and groups of seven, a lucky number,

315
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: meant for financial prosperity. So it seems like pomegranates have

316
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: slowly distributed themselves in different ways throughout the world.

317
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: To mean different things.

318
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: Good for them, they've really expanded their their footprints on

319
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: the look.

320
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 9: You should try that though, you should go around smashing

321
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 9: pomegranate on the people that don't have wife.

322
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 7: Would be so pissed.

323
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: There's pomegrants all over the front door.

324
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: Uh so that and Ben has not messaged me back yet,

325
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: But that's what That's what I was thinking about.

326
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 9: He did listen to the message, though, maybe he's conversing

327
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 9: with his wife like, hey, why.

328
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 7: Didn't they make the list?

329
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: Did you make any did they do something? Does he

330
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: know anybody else that got him? So we need to

331
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: say we didn't make him. So does I come back

332
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: to bite us on the butt?

333
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 4: Cast up little food for yourself life?

334
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Oh it's pretty bad, it's pretty beautiful, mauls a little more.

335
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 5: Cut.

336
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: You're kicking with full.

337
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 7: With Amy Brown.

338
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 6: Today's episode is all about exploring shedding what no longer

339
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 6: serves us. I've got an email from a listener that

340
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 6: is so inspiring. She shed so much of herself she

341
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 6: doesn't even recognize herself. And I'm not talking about looks

342
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: wise and talking about inside internally for me, I'm going

343
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 6: to talk about botox and facial fitness. Also, I've personally

344
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 6: made a decision to quit taking certain medications that are

345
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 6: not needed for me. They're not life saving in any way,

346
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 6: shape or form. Always consult a doctor if you're considering this.

347
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 6: I certainly have. And then we're going to wrap things

348
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 6: up with a quote that will help you kick off

349
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five if you're looking to be more in

350
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 6: alignment and you're looking for growth. So let's get started.

351
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: First, right.

352
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 6: So I got one of the best emails ever of

353
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 6: my entire radio career. The email fits the of shedding

354
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 6: things because you're about to hear that. Well, when I

355
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 6: read it that this listener has been in the process

356
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 6: of shedding her old self, her old ways, and she's

357
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 6: been so successful at it that she barely recognizes how

358
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 6: she used to be. Now before I read it, it's

359
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 6: probably helpful for me to set up that over Christmas break,

360
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 6: I had a few episodes that were what we call

361
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 6: best of or reruns because well vacation. So keep that

362
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 6: in mind when you hear the email. Okay, this is

363
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 6: from a listener named Kristen, and here's what she sent in. Hey,

364
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 6: I was nonchalantly making dinner on a Thursday evening and

365
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 6: catching up on the four Things podcast and played the

366
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 6: newest one. All of a sudden, I hear a story

367
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 6: about a runner with an eating disorder. It took a

368
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 6: few seconds to realize it was my story. Fast forward

369
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 6: two years, and I hardly recognize that person. I was

370
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 6: journal this morning about how far I've come with my

371
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 6: eating disorder and anxiety in the past two years. It's

372
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 6: the holiday season, and I didn't spend the whole time

373
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 6: analyzing caloric content or having near panic attacks thinking about

374
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 6: being out of my normal routine. I'm buying new clothes

375
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 6: without worrying about the size. I'm still a runner and

376
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 6: care about my health, but I have freedom in those feelings.

377
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 6: I still have thoughts about my body, but don't think

378
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 6: about restricting and remind myself how happy I am now.

379
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 6: It was meant to be that this episode was replayed

380
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 6: so that I can really see how far I've come

381
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 6: in the last two years. I've gone on countless trips

382
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 6: to see friends and family, including four international trips, one

383
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 6: being completely solo for two weeks. I am learning to

384
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 6: find the joy in the now. I'm single. I'm a

385
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 6: thirty four year old woman who is over dating apps,

386
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 6: and I am open to what the next minute, day

387
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 6: or year brings me. After hearing that episode again, I

388
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 6: felt like I had to reach out and just say

389
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 6: thanks one more time. Happy holidays to you and your family,

390
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 6: your friend Kristin. So there you go. That's Kristen's email,

391
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 6: and Kristin, if you're listening right now, thank you so

392
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 6: much for sending this update, you sharing your story and

393
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 6: then me revisiting it here now being able to read

394
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 6: this email, I know is going to encourage and inspire

395
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 6: and impact another listener somewhere. And congratulations on living in

396
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 6: the now, finding the joy in the now, and being

397
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 6: curious and excited about what's next in the next minute,

398
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 6: the next day, or the next year. I love that

399
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 6: you wrote that part and that you got to listen

400
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 6: to the rerun. And I really need to travel. Saying

401
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 6: that you've gone on four international trips in two years

402
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 6: and one being completely solo for two weeks. Oh, I'm jealous.

403
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 10: It's awesome.

404
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: Thanks Kristin. All Right, I touched on this on Tuesday

405
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 6: with kat during the fifth thing. But I'm cutting back

406
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 6: on botox this year and I'm giving facial fitness a try.

407
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 6: If you're not familiar with facial fitness, maybe you've seen

408
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: it labeled as face yoga or maybe even face pilates

409
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 6: or face gymnastics, But it's all about strengthening the muscles

410
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 6: in your face, similar to how we exercise other parts

411
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 6: of our body. Now, some of it is about working

412
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 6: the muscles, and then there's other areas that you really

413
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 6: want to just relax. So some of the exercises feel

414
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 6: like a workout and you're like, oh wow, I can

415
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 6: really feel that, and other stuff just feels so good,

416
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 6: like you're giving yourself this little massage every day. And

417
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 6: I've just been doing different videos on YouTube. I'll link

418
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 6: a few of them in the show notes if y'all

419
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 6: want to give them a try. It's been an adjustment

420
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: for sure working this into my routine, and it's a process.

421
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 6: You do have to do it every day, so I'll

422
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 6: share updates as I go. But I'm looking forward to

423
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 6: exploring this path and seeing where it takes me. Some

424
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 6: of my friends have asked, like, why in the world

425
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 6: are you doing this, especially my kids when they see

426
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 6: me in the mirror doing it. But I'm enjoying it

427
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 6: so far, and I'm curious I think that's that's the

428
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 6: best thing. I don't really talk to my kids about

429
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 6: the botox part, but my friends that have been asking,

430
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, you know, I do love me some botox,

431
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 6: and honestly, I will likely still get more in the future.

432
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 6: I just want to sort of get it out and

433
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 6: then assess things and do a reset of sorts like

434
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 6: seee the true baseline again and then maybe add to

435
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 6: it with more intention with the theme being less is

436
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 6: more and I want to reset because I've had several conversations,

437
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 6: even with people that that administer botox, about the amount

438
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 6: going in our faces and it eventually having the reverse

439
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 6: effect on us as we get get older. So I

440
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 6: just want to be thoughtful about the amount being injected.

441
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna do it live.

442
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 11: We oh the one, two, three sore losers?

443
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 8: What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most

444
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 8: about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts, my

445
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 8: sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.

446
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 11: It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.

447
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 11: I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser,

448
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 11: my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a

449
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 11: lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops hopefully

450
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 11: soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe maybe a little fescue.

451
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 11: Oh to be determined.

452
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 8: Over to you, coach, And here's a clip from this

453
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 8: week's episode of The Sore Losers. Right. You know what

454
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 8: we never talked about, yeah, is when we went to

455
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 8: the Brett Eldredge Show over the Christmas break.

456
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't work because Christmas is over.

457
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I know, but there were there was a

458
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 8: couple of funny moments. I mean, we went first, we

459
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 8: went to didn had a little Mexican food, had some

460
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 8: Margarita's and that was fun and all. It was great.

461
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: You're great.

462
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 8: Well, it was great that your wife got a reservation

463
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 8: because I was thinking, we'll just walk in and get

464
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 8: a table and there'd be no problem. We walked into

465
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 8: that restaurant. I've never seen anything more crowded in my life.

466
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 11: That one's gotten a little bit more popping. Yeah, since

467
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 11: I was down there. It's because it's at the epicenter

468
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 11: of everything.

469
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 8: You're right, it's right downtown and I should have known better.

470
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 8: But I'm glad your wife thought of reservations because at me.

471
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 8: I was like, we don't need a reservation. It's not

472
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 8: that big a deal. But it is great. Then we

473
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 8: go to the show and we meet up with Kevin

474
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 8: and we meet up with Pitts and they're sitting in

475
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 8: a different section. Ray sitting in a different section than us,

476
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 8: and I'm like, let's just go into this one section.

477
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 8: Look at all these seats here, and we sit down

478
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 8: on these empty rows because the whole section is empty.

479
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 4: Hold oh on, is this worthy of a camera?

480
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 7: No?

481
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 8: No, no, I don't think it's worthy of a camera. I'm

482
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 8: just it's Ray being a little bit nervous. It was

483
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 8: Ray just going, man, I don't like this. I don't

484
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 8: like sitting here. Why he goes, man, people are gonna come.

485
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 8: The people are gonna come for these seats. And I'm

486
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 8: just like, dude, just they if they come, there are

487
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 8: three rows all around us that are wide open. They

488
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 8: can just sit in one of them. And he's like, yeah,

489
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 8: this isn't in right, man, I think we should probably

490
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 8: just go to our seats. And me and Bay are

491
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 8: just gonna go to our seats. I'm like, would you

492
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 8: just calm down for a minute, And he's like, every

493
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 8: person that walks down that stair man. They're looking at us, going,

494
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 8: those are our seats. I know it. I know we're

495
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 8: in someone's seats somewhere, sitting there. And some people come

496
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 8: and they sit a row in front of us, and

497
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 8: there's like four of them, and there's four of us

498
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 8: and they're sitting there and here comes Kevin and Pitt's.

499
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 8: They're hanging out. We're chatting, and this guy, what I

500
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 8: don't understand is he wants to go get a drink,

501
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 8: so he could just go through his three people that

502
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 8: he's with and go to the island, go up and

503
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 8: get a drink. Instead, he climbs over two rows of seats.

504
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 8: He did because he doesn't want to inconvenience his friends

505
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 8: to stand up so he can go out. So he

506
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 8: climbs up two rows to where we are and then

507
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 8: goes out that way. And of course may be in

508
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 8: a smart.

509
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 4: Ass or something you hit him with.

510
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 8: We got a climber. We got a climber, dude, we

511
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 8: got a climber.

512
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 11: There's nothing, as a man more emasculating than trying, because

513
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 11: when you're climbing over a row, you're kind of vulnerable,

514
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 11: your nuts are exposed.

515
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 4: You kind of look like a dufist. You look and

516
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 4: somebody's yelling, we gotta climber. I mean, talk about just

517
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 4: making the dude looking like an idiot.

518
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 8: You gotta worry about your pants, ripping, your foot, getting

519
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 8: caught in the cup holder. You got all sorts of

520
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 8: things that could go wrong, You got drinks, you got

521
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 8: and he just he doesn't. Even the guy doesn't laugh.

522
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 8: He looks pissed off that I'm yelling we got a climber,

523
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 8: We got a climber, and.

524
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 4: We're falling out. Dude, that was hilarious.

525
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 11: If somebody ever tries to climb over your rope, pull

526
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 11: that one, because I'm.

527
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 4: Telling you it's a good laugh. Hopefully they don't kick

528
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: your ass.

529
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 8: And most times, your friend, they're gonna laugh and they're

530
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 8: gonna feel really stupid and awkward. And that's what we did.

531
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 8: And I don't understand why he climbed up two rows

532
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 8: to go out when he could have just had his

533
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 8: friends stand up. I understand if it's like strangers and

534
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 8: you don't want to inconvenience the strangers because there's a

535
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 8: hundred of them and you're going through the whole row.

536
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 8: It was your set of friends. But anyway, Ray was right.

537
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 8: Someone came and sat in our seats. They're like, hey,

538
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 8: you're in our seats, and we had.

539
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 11: To move and then yeah, I'll hang up and listen

540
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 11: on that one, because eventually I knew it was gonna come.

541
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 4: I think it was.

542
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 11: I was a little gun shy because there was a

543
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 11: person that came up and I immediately stood up.

544
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 8: Oh he puckered and he stood up and there like.

545
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 8: But then it was like they're like, oh, we're way

546
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 8: down there on the floor. Yeah, it was like, okay,

547
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 8: sat back down.

548
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 11: The lady at the seat helper totally misdirected herd, so

549
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 11: that was on them. But yes, I knew it was

550
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 11: eventually gonna come, and it did, and I was like,

551
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 11: thank you.

552
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 8: Yep, some work is done. So we moved to another section.

553
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 8: We sit on a row. We're sitting there and Glow

554
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 8: is a Christmas show. Guys. Brett Eldritch comes out. He's

555
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 8: mister Christmas. He sings these Christmas songs. Don't know the

556
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 8: names of them, but he sang them, and he's saying

557
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 8: them fine, He's sang them.

558
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 7: Great.

559
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 8: It was cool. The band was great.

560
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 11: You literally just said two of the titles in that statement.

561
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 11: One of his songs is mister Christmas and the other

562
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 11: one is called Glow.

563
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 8: Oh okay, I just thought that was the name of

564
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 8: the tour.

565
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 11: Hey, the tour Glow. And he's like, mister Christmas. You know,

566
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 11: I don't know any of the titles any of the songs.

567
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 11: You just said two of them. Didn't realize that anyway.

568
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 11: Then there's three girls that are sitting three women. I

569
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 11: shouldn't say girls. These are women that are sitting two

570
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 11: seats over from us.

617
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 12: People have been asking me have you slept, and I'm like,

618
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 12: don't ask me that. Then I'll think about it, and

619
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 12: then I'll have an opinion, and then that'll probably cause

620
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 12: me to go downhill. So we just don't talk about Bruno's.

621
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 10: That's a fair point, especially when you're in like the

622
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 10: heat of everything happening. Most people know you for being

623
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 10: an actor.

624
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 13: That's your You've When I went to.

625

Speaker 10: Your IMDb page, you had over ninety five listings.

626
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: Is that crazy to you?

627
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, I just passed like one hundred and something. Oh

628
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 12: you did even hired. I was like, okay, yeah, it's

629
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 12: not like you get a badge or anything for that,

630
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 12: but you know, personally, I was like, wow, Okay, I

631
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 12: guess I've been doing this a little while.

632
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 10: You do have a really interesting part of your story though,

633
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 10: before this acting, and we'll get into some more acting stuff,

634
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 10: but you've had some near death experiences. Can you talk

635
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 10: about those a little bit because those are wild?

636
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean they weren't planned first. Yeah. I mean

637
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 12: some of the injuries that I've had probably are ye.

638
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 12: I put myself there. You know, I rode the bike

639
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 12: on top of the train bridge. It was me trying

640
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 12: to pull something off. It was me free climbing that cliff.

641
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 12: Or I used to love climbing church steeples. It's kind

642
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 12: of like a thing.

643
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 10: You've always really had, this like kind of adrenaline side. Yeah,

644
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 10: it sounds absolutely beyond the stunt.

645
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

646
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 12: Yeah, so I've I've never drank alcohol, never done drugs.

647
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 12: Swearing is not my thing, but for some reason, when

648
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 12: I was younger, I just started out that. I was like, oh,

649
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 12: that sounds fun.

650
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 7: Climb that thing.

651
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 12: I can jump off there I can, I'll try white

652
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 12: water rafting or white water kayaking, and so excuse me. Yes,

653
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 12: I was a white water raft guide. I was like

654
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 12: years in. I was in my first year of college,

655
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 12: and it's just happened to be in the right place

656
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 12: at the right time and ended up drowning so full

657
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 12: on right to the end, blacked out, and they found

658
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 12: me a couple of miles down the river. They estimated

659
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 12: I was underwater from eleven to twenty two minutes. Wow,

660
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 12: and so rightfully, so I should be either dead and

661
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 12: or if alive, I should be I have complete brain

662
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 12: damage or a loss of function, you know, physicality, memory,

663
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 12: you name it. And so the fact that I recovered

664
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 12: from that is an absolute miracle. And I couldn't call

665
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 12: it anything else. I can't be like, oh, the water

666
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 12: was really cold and it froze me, like it was

667
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 12: nothing like that, because how else do you explain that,

668
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 12: you know what I mean?

669
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 10: Do you recall the rescue at all?

670
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: Like when people came to.

671
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 12: Mind you, Yeah, I had moments moments of it, but

672
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 12: really small little memories that I have that I'm like

673
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 12: part of me is even like, was that even an

674
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 12: accurate memory?

675
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 7: You know what I mean, Are.

676
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 8: You like making it up because that's what you feel

677
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 8: like happened.

678
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 12: I know, I just I remember being very cognitive obviously

679
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 12: going into it right by the time I went underwater,

680
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 12: you know, I was guiding. It was a twelve foot

681
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 12: Moravio raft. We hit the first wave. I had twelve

682
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 12: people in my boat. We had another guy in the front.

683
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 12: We hit it and went straight up, and we're just

684
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 12: about to crest over, as you should, and then everybody

685
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 12: was having a great time, and just we didn't have

686
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 12: the power, and so we started to come back down

687
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 12: and we started surfing, and so I'm keeping the paddle

688
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 12: there and I'm keeping it straight and one of the

689
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 12: guys that are too, of the guys that fell off

690
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,919
Speaker 12: from the front. As they fell, one of the guys

691
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 12: managed to grab me.

692
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 8: Not his fault.

693
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 12: I mean, I'd be grabbing on his stuff too if

694
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 12: I was falling. It's just like, oh yeah, you know.

695
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 12: He grabbed my life jacket kind of wrapped me around

696
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 12: the back. And then I ended up sort of almost

697
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 12: like water boarded. It was like I kept going into

698
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 12: the water, out of the water, in the water, out

699
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 12: of the water, and eventually I just was like, man,

700
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 12: I'm getting whooped here, Like I can't shake this guy,

701
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 12: so I'm gonna have to just bail. So I bailed,

702
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 12: and I just happened to be right in that sweet

703
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 12: spot where the veterans that I worked with called the

704
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 12: green room. So there's a current on the top of

705
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 12: the river, and then there's another current that's maybe twelve

706
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 12: to fifteen feet or so below the surface, and this

707
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 12: rapid was called the colosseum, so it kind of fitting

708
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 12: right that you think of these battles. And I ended

709
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 12: up going under right there and went down really fast.

710
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 12: Both my ear drums kind of could feel the pressure.

711
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 12: I knew there was a shift. I was like, oh,

712
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 12: that was different, okay. Immediately tried to swim, couldn't do it,

713
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 12: and just felt like the water pressure was like pushing

714
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,479
Speaker 12: everything together, and I was like, man, it's really hard

715
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 12: to swim. And I had to eventually abandon my paddle,

716
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 12: which you never do as a as a guy that

717
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 12: you get, you know, reamed out and everybody makes fun

718
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 12: of you. But I was I knew this was a

719
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 12: different situation and I wasn't able to get out of

720
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 12: this yet, and so I let go of the paddle,

721
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 12: so I could really swim as hard as I could,

722
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 12: still couldn't break the current. So my training told me,

723
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 12: all right, chill out, you got to go with the flow.

724
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 8: I'm not going to beat the river.

725
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 12: And so I just hung out and hung onto it,

726
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 12: you know what i mean. And as I'm floating along,

727
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 12: it's kind of you you go through the the process

728
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 12: of like, so I'm underwater, you know, I like to

729
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 12: be done with this soon so I can get some oxygen.

730
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 12: And I just I tried again. I tried to swim,

731
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 12: you know, I use more energy, burn more of my strength,

732
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 12: and then just couldn't get out and was like, okay,

733
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 12: I have to just literally go completely numb to this.

734
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 2: I just let everything go.

735
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 12: It just went completely limp and trying to save my energy,

736
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 12: right so, because I mean, oxygen's still in my blood,

737
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 12: so I'm like, okay, the less I can use my muscles.

738
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 10: I can't believe how much you're aware as all of

739
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 10: this is happening.

740
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, it was three years into being a guide.

741
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 12: I'd done it for quite a while. I was also

742
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 12: in college training for this very thing, you know, being

743
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 12: out door guide swift water rescue technician training I had

744
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 12: I was, I had search and rescue training, I had

745
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 12: wilderness first aid training, which is pretty intense.

746
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 10: So you had all the tools for a potential survival

747
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 10: out of this.

748
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 12: Yeah, and I've always been I knew going through that

749
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 12: course that I was a person that I stayed pretty

750
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 12: calm when pressure hits. I actually operate better the more

751
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 12: stress there is.

752
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 7: In my life.

753
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 12: Sometimes there's certain family things where I'm still like navigating.

754
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 12: I'm like, oh my goodness, I just fell apart. I

755
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 12: couldn't handle that, Like why not? Should be easier than that.

756
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 12: But for whatever reason, when I'm on the river or

757
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 12: I was, you know, I'm on set for twelve fourteen

758
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 12: hours a day and this pressure hits, I just really

759
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 12: feel comfortable.

760
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 13: Hello, and welcome back. O't no, I'm wrong podcast. I'm sorry.

761

765
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 13: the year, Like, out of everything I watched, I think

766
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 13: over one hundred almost one hundred and fifty movies. These

767
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 13: are my top ten. I'm only gonna share with you

768
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 13: number three and number two. So if you want to

769
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 13: hear this full list, you want to know what is

770
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 13: my number one movie of the year after watching all

771
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 13: those movies, you gotta go listen to the full episode.

772
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 13: But right now, here's just a little bit a movie.

773
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 13: Mike's Movie Podcast. See I do so many podcasts, I

774
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 13: forget what I'm doing. But Sunday Sampler. Thank you have

775
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 13: a great weekend, or hope you're having a great weekend.

776
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 8: All right?

777
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 13: At number three, speaking of a movie, people talked about

778
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 13: a lot and made a lot of memes of I

779
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 13: have Wicked, which I gave a four point five out

780
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 13: of five. It's still not available to stream yet, but

781
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 13: you can't rent it at home. It is a movie

782
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 13: I feel that people are not only gonna rent, but

783
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 13: maybe even purchase. I think Wicked is a movie that

784
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 13: has that type of appeal where you're gonna want to

785
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 13: rewatch this movie a lot because of the music, because

786
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 13: of the songs, because of those performances.

787
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 4: But not only that.

788
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 13: We have the sequel coming out this year, which they

789
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 13: did officially change the title to Wicked for Good. It's

790
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 13: coming out on November twenty first, so pretty much a

791
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 13: year after this one came out. It's gonna give a

792
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 13: lot of people a reason that maybe didn't watch this

793
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 13: movie in theaters to watch it at home, or maybe

794
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 13: some people will wait till they have like the two

795
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 13: showing events where you watch one leading up to number

796
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 13: two in theaters. But I think why I love this

797
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 13: movie so much is because I have such an affinity

798
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 13: for the Wizard of Oz and all the mystery and

799
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 13: just kind of lore that surrounds that movie, with all

800
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 13: the dark and gritty past of just the filmmaking process,

801
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 13: but also its impact on film. It being a movie

802
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 13: I would say only one of few movies that are

803
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 13: almost one hundred years old that people still watch and

804
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 13: still hold up and still influence film to this day,

805
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 13: to this day. And I rewatched that movie after watching Wicked,

806
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 13: and I'm fully in that world right now and seeing

807
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 13: how they're going to connect the first one to the

808
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,439
Speaker 13: second one, and how even though it's not a full

809
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 13: on prequel, hell now, because of its success, it's going

810
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 13: to be so interwoven. So I'm very curious to see

811
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 13: how the second one plays out. So at this point,

812
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 13: I still avoided spoilers, and I think it was also

813
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 13: that I didn't know anything about Wicked going into it.

814
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 13: I didn't even know how to say Alphaba's name up

815
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 13: until I did that trailer in the Trailer Park and

816
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 13: I was like, how do you say this name? So

817
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 13: I think not knowing a whole lot about the story

818
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 13: allowed me to enjoy the movie that much more. But

819
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 13: from just the filmmaking standpoint, I love that this movie

820
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 13: brought back real sets and sequences that take place in

821
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 13: real time. A lot of live singing was done for

822
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 13: this movie. It just really felt like the set was alive,

823
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 13: which you don't really have a whole lot anymore. For

824
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 13: the most part, it's just a bunch of green screen

825
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 13: and blue screen and people were just acting to nothing.

826
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 13: You can truly feel that in this movie, and I

827
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 13: think is what made it so enjoyable to me. That

828
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 13: it still kept that Broadway theater vibe very live and fluid,

829
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 13: which I think is important for all the songs in

830
00:40:56,440 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 13: this movie. And just having those big elaborate sets that

831
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 13: remind me of the filmmaking process for that first Wigards

832
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 13: of Oz, where they had no ability to rely on

833
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 13: special effects.

834
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 2: They had to do all those themselves, so hopefully.

835
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 13: Since they did film both of these movies at the

836
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 13: same time, we get to see more of that in

837
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 13: the sequel. I'm hyped for it. Very rarely am I

838
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 13: this hype for a sequel that I think has the

839
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 13: potential to be better than it's original, because man, there

840
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 13: has to be so much more action in Wicked for good.

841
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 2: But at number three, I have Wicked.

842
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 13: At number two, I have a movie I gave a

843
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 13: four point five at a five. You can't stream it

844
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 13: anyway right now, you have to rent it. But it

845
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 13: is a real pain, starring Kieran Colchin and Jesse Eisenberg,

846
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 13: who also directed the movie. They play these two mismatched

847
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 13: cousins as they call them, who traveled tough Poland to

848
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 13: go on this tour after their grandma dies, and this

849
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 13: is them reconnecting and you find out all about why

850
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 13: they haven't remained as close. Kieran Colkin's characters very just

851
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,800
Speaker 13: go by the seat of his pants, very chill, laid back.

852
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 13: He is a people person who can form a connection

853
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 13: with a random stranger on the street, and Jesse Eisenberg's

854
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 13: character is very reserved, neurotic, overthinks a lot but he

855
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 13: has a wife and kid at home, so he has

856
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 13: a life to get back to, and it's how those

857
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 13: two personalities clash and you have kind of an odd

858
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 13: couple here. The movie only costs three million dollars to

859
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 13: make ended pretty well at the box office, probably through

860
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 13: word of mouth, and like I was saying earlier, I

861
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 13: think this is the only movie that makes the entire

862
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 13: top ten list of mine that has the potential to

863
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 13: win Best Picture. I do hope Karen Colchin is nominated

864
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 13: and wins Best Supporting Actor because he is fantastic in

865
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 13: this film. I also think Jesse Eisenberg should get a

866
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 13: nomination for Best Director. But this movie kind of just

867
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 13: hit me in the gut in a way that I

868
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 13: wasn't expecting. And these are both characters that normally I

869
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 13: wouldn't have anything that I could relate to them to.

870
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 13: But it's through the storytelling and the power of all

871
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 13: the things that get revealed that I'm like, Oh, I

872
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 13: am like one of these people. And this was a

873
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 13: movie that after I watched it, I really just reflected

874
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 13: on my feelings and on it hitting a nerve that

875
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 13: I've never even talked about and much less seen represented

876
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 13: in a movie that I associated myself so much with

877
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 13: Jesse Eisenberg's character that I thought, man, how did he

878
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 13: make a movie like this and really just hit me

879
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 13: in the gut. And I think it was also the

880
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 13: fact that they had such great on screen chemistry, the

881
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 13: fact that the movie dealt with a lot of different

882
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 13: emotional layers, one of losing their grandma, one of their

883
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 13: falling out, and maybe I related a little bit to

884
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 13: not being so close with some family members that I

885
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 13: was closer to when I was a little bit more

886
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 13: younger and care free. I think we've all kind of

887
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 13: experienced something like that, when you're a little bit more

888
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 13: wild and just don't care about things in your twenties.

889
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 13: Then you get in your thirties and you have more responsibility,

890
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 13: you get more involved in your career, and maybe some

891
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,879
Speaker 13: people aren't at that exact same point in their life

892
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 13: at that same age, and there's some friction that happens

893
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 13: between those types of people when you hang out. Even

894
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 13: though for me personally, it is the front runner that

895
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,959
Speaker 13: I want to win Best Picture, the one I will

896
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 13: probably get behind the most, maybe maybe for my Number one,

897
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 13: but depending on how that shakes out, there's nothing I

898
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 13: feel is super novel about it that I think it's

899
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 13: a hands down, full on winner, deserves a five out

900
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 13: of five. So not to take away from the story,

901
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 13: to take away from anything I've said here, it just

902
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 13: doesn't feel like anything I haven't seen done before. But

903
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 13: what it does do, it does really well. So if

904
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 13: you haven't seen it yet and you want to experience

905
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 13: that or just see, like, why do this movie make

906
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 13: Mike so emotional? I do advise you to check it

907
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 13: out because I do think it's worth it. I put

908
00:44:50,000 --> 00:45:00,240
Speaker 13: a real pain at number two.

909
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: And that was this week's Sunday Sampler. New episodes out
