Everything's time is going 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:21.720 by really fast. 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.240 It always is. This week is a little bit like 0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.600 messing with our brains because we did switch off with 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:28.600 you and Scuba in our life time frames. 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:29.560 It was earlier. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.360 It is a little bit earlier, but only a week 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.160 because it was time still flying. But we need enough 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.440 tod because last time you were on a lot of 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.600 things were happening in your life at the time. 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.320 Yeah, there was a mysterious box that I needed to address. 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.000 We are in the process of moving, and I've had 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:51.640 this box probably over ten, maybe fifteen years, whenever I 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.720 first moved, I guess since I started, even when I 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.920 left my hometown and moved to Austin, I've just had 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.400 this box of stump that was like when I was 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.160 in a band. We would keep all of our merch 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:03.760 in it, and I guess it was the only good 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.000 box I had. So I've been filling it with things 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.240 for over a decade of my life, and then since 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.800 I moved into my current house, I have no idea 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:13.920 what was in there because it's been so long, moved in, 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.760 put in a closet and never looked at it again. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.760 Is it the same box or have you at least 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.720 transitioned the box. 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.720 No, it's the same box because I wrote merch on it, 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.120 so it's an actual box we use for merch. 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.200 That's funny. Okay, So did you go inside the box? 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.199 I did because I told you I thought of maybe 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.160 just throwing away the whole thing, because I was like, 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.280 I have to use it, and I haven't been in 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.480 there in seven years, probably don't need anything. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.600 I did encourage you not to look in at Yeah. 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.120 But but glad I didn't just throw it away blindly, 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.200 because there was actually a lot of old pictures in 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.520 there that I had not I don't even know why 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.960 I have these pictures. They're like old family pictures, like 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:50.840 me as a kid. I found my sonogram. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.040 Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait, Because before when you've 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.600 been on the best bits, you've been like, there's not 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:56.680 a whole lot of pictures of me. 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.720 Yeah, I found a lot of them. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.000 This is where they've been hiding. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.840 I thought they were at my parents' house. Apparently I 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.480 have them. I don't know where in my moves that 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.440 I got a hold of them. I don't know if 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.760 I took them on accident, but I had just stacks 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.880 and stacks of real pictures from disposable cameras and over 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.839 the years. Wow, like really like me, literally my Sonograham 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.720 where they wrote on it like hi mom. 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.519 That's crazy. Yeah, I don't know emotional finding all of those. 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.160 I don't know why I have that. It was just 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:30.840 weird seeing me as a baby. 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.919 I think it's a Did you ask your parents about it? 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.880 Because sometimes parents want to keep all that stuff and 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.360 sometimes they wanted to go with the kids. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.280 I didn't. I forgot to tell them about the sonogram. 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:39.440 I did tell them that I found a bunch of 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.760 old pictures, and she thought she my mom, thought she 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.320 had those pictures. I started sending her pictures of the 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.320 pictures and she was like, oh, yeah, I haven't seen 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:48.200 those in a while, So. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.160 Is there any in there that you forgot existed? Because 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.079 again you had said, like, there's not a lot of 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:55.880 pictures of me. I haven't really seen a bunch. 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.000 So there's some of me with friends, which is crazy. 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.720 I forgot I had friends in the trailer park where 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.480 at the time when I was a kid, I was 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.840 super into wrestling, and I met other kids who lived 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.560 in the trailer park who were also super into wrestling. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.280 So it's us like hanging out like there, we had 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:18.000 an old trampoline that it was completely destroyed, but we 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.480 just kept like the outer ring of the trampoline and 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.680 that was our wrestling ring. I totally forgot about this, 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.720 but it's like pictures of me and my friends standing 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.000 in front of the trampoline where we would wrestle. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.040 Wait, would you guys do like masks and capes and 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.519 stuff too? Like I'm trying to think of what movie 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:40.600 that reminds me of, Like, yeah. 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.080 Maybe one of my friends had a mask. But we 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.480 would just pick wrestlers and then have matches. Somebody would 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.960 be a referee, or we do three way matches. 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.240 And you were a wrestler, right. That's crazy. 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.200 So I had to explain to my wife, like why 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.440 I was doing these weird like our emotions dudes, because 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.440 I love the hardy boys and that's what they would do. 0:03:57.720 --> 0:03:59.920 And every picture I'm freaking doing the hardy boys thing. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.840 That's wild. Does it make you want to pick up 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:03.520 wrestling again? 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.880 I mean, I still love wrestling. That was that was 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.800 my first dream of what if you ask me as 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.040 a kid, what do I want to be when I 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.840 grow up? It was a wrestler, and. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.720 It was WWE because that's what you went and watched too, right, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:14.040 it was. 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.640 WWF at the time and it's now WWE. But yeah, 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.560 I was like, I'm going to go to wrestling school. 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.640 I'm going to learn how to be a wrestler because 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.440 I'd play the video game and you could create your 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.560 own wrestler, Like I'm going to be the risk Taker. 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.560 That was your name that you came. I just ripped 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.479 off the Undertaker, I guess, or Peacemaker. 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.440 Just somewhere in the middle. I mean, that's I feel 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.360 like a dream. You can still kind of chase if 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:36.920 you want to do. 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.599 I know, I watch a lot of wrestling documentaries. That's 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.560 not a good really, that's a hardcore profession. 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.080 Now you know too much. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:48.520 Yeah, the injuries are insane, the lifestyle is insane. It's 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.279 cool because everybody loves you and there's probably nothing like 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.880 getting that kind of crowd reaction. But the stuff you 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.400 don't see is yeah, pretty bad. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.640 So do you feel like you're glad that you didn't 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:00.400 chase down that? 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.839 I don't think I remember like fully committed to it. 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.440 I think soon after that I got into music, and 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:07.800 then my new thing was I want to be in 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:12.800 a band. So it was probably grades three through five 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.280 where I was like super hardcore about that, and then 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:16.800 a sixth grade I learned how to play guitar and 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:17.400 game over. 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.680 Isn't it funny how when we look back on the 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.560 things that we wanted to be as kids, they kind 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.360 of just developed very quickly over time. 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:24.360 What was your first thing? 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.120 My very first thing I wanted to be was a 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.040 marine biologist. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.640 I feel like we always go with animals as a kid, like. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.680 Yes, yeah, marine biologists. I wanted to be a zoologist, 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.080 a zoo keeper. I had a lot of like animal things. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.360 I want to be a vet. At one point all 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.040 of those, I realized that I would have to deal 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.080 with the loss of animals and I was not prepared 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:42.400 for that. 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.960 And at that point where you're already not eating animals, 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:47.840 I was already a. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.279 Huge animal lover. And yeah, I mean because I went 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.320 vegetarian at eight, So yeah, probably by the time I 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.120 was trying to decide what I wanted to do with 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.280 my life. That's I feel like six seven, eight, that's 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.080 where you is where they start to ask you what 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.920 you want to be, because up until that point. 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.039 You're just living your life, you know, cartoons. 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.920 Yeah, exactly, So I think I was already a vegetarian 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.960 and big animal lover at that point. But yeah, I 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.320 realized the other side of it pretty quickly that was 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:20.000 not a fit. And then I had senior actor a 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.640 news anchor, and then the news anchor one kind of stuck. 0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.440 That's what kind of got me into journalism school. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.719 You take like classes you oh yeah, news. Yeah. 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.520 In high school, I was part of like the broadcast 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.159 team where we do like the morning announcements. And then 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.799 in college I studied broadcast journalism. So I've i've full blown. 0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.440 I even one of my internships, I was a news reporter, 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:43.960 Like I interned with the news station and I would 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.599 do my news beats. In college, I would do the 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:51.080 local news for our like college station, and that was 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.039 my whole plan, was a news anchor. And you know, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.360 life didn't go down that path, so it stuck at 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.039 one point. I think once I hit high school, But 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.800 up until then I had a lot of different eras 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.160 of who I wanted to be for sure. Is there 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.720 any that you think would have stuck for you? What 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.520 was yours? Like? What was your last one to then 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:11.840 get to where you are now? 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.960 Well, I think before wrestler, I remember there was a 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.800 brief period where I wanted to be an architect. And 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.320 I don't even know why. I think I was like 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.560 in first grade, but I remember telling everybody I wanted 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.840 to be an architect because I wanted to design buildings 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.760 and I would like carry around like a little hammer 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.120 inside like the loop of my pants. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:29.520 But that was just like Bob the Builder. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.280 Maybe maybe I don't know. That was just some people 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.600 say firemen as a kid as that architect. Yeah, So 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.600 then it went to wrestler. Then I think for the 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.280 majority of my life I wanted to be in a 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.400 band and like tour and get on a record label. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.320 Which you were still doing the band in high school. 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.560 Yeah, I did it through high school, and then when 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.040 I graduated high school, I moved from Walkstatchey to Austin 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.480 to pursue music, and I just happened to find the 0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.200 internship on the radio show. I was doing those two 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.560 things at the same time, so I was still pursuing that. 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.320 I just kind of saw, like, I don't think I 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:03.280 want to do that anymore. 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:05.400 Do you think there's a part of you that would 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.240 ever go back to trying to do that? Now? 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.440 If I would do it, it would just to be 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.280 just like to play for fun, like in a garage, 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.640 write some songs again. But I don't think I would 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:16.960 ever want to play shows again. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.240 M hmm, Yeah, that's fair. The just more of a passion, yeah, 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:21.240 like enjoy it. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.520 For in my head, it would be fun to like 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.480 reunite with my old band and like there was like 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.440 a group of bands that we all toured with and 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.080 just do like one show where it's basically just the 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.920 people who were in those bands attending the show. It's 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.040 not really a thing we do, but just like kind 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.160 of all perform for each other, Like that would be 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:39.800 like the only thing I'd want to do, like more 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.240 like a party where we all play music. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:43.960 You don't feel like that would give you the bug 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.839 to try and pursue again. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:50.160 No, I don't think so. I just think that it 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.200 was such a grind to do, and we basically made 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.320 no money for so many years that I don't think 0:08:57.360 --> 0:08:59.280 I would want to do it again to that extent. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.160 Yeah, that's fair. It's also fair as you get older, 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.520 you just realize the true sides of things. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.760 I mean, I also haven't played guitar in like five years. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.280 Like, that's wild that you also used to be a 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.200 pretty significant guitar player. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.000 Yeah, Like I taught myself how to play. That's all 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.120 I would do. I would just play guitar, and then 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.679 I would say, probably until I moved here, is when 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.240 I kind of stopped playing. Like I played still like 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.040 the first couple of years I lived here, and then 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:27.920 just kind of stopped. 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:29.920 You're telling me you never played for your wife. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:32.920 I did write her a song early on. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:33.560 Did you. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:34.240 Yeah. 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:35.559 Oh that's so sweet. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.120 So that was probably around the tale, Yeah, because I 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.680 was still probably writing songs in like twenty eighteen, So 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:45.120 probably stopped fully in like twenty nineteen. Maybe picked it 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.040 up a little bit during the pandemic because there was 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.880 nothing else to do, and then since then I pick 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.439 it up maybe once or twice a year, But that's 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:53.880 about it. 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.040 That's so cool. Did you record the song or did 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.400 you just play for it live in person? 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.800 I remember playing it for her over FaceTime, and then 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:03.880 I think I recorded it and sent it to her. 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.680 That's sweet. And then from there you really never mind. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:09.960 And then even she kind of forgets that I played guitar, 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:11.680 like I haven't done it in so long. 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:13.400 Do you still have a guitar that you could play? 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.000 Yeah? I have three, two electrics and one acoustic. 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:18.600 Dang, Yeah, a lot, not just one. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.679 Yeah, I mean that was my yeah. And like recently 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.160 there was My favorite guitar player is Tom DeLong from 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.400 Blnkelin eighty two, and he had this signature guitar that 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.560 I wanted so bad as a kid, but it was 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.800 like super expensive. And recently they did like a reissue 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.320 version of it, and I was so close to buying 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.360 it because I saw it on the rack. It was 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.400 like so close to be buying it. I was like, 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:44.640 I'm not going to play it. I was like, I 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.520 haven't played guitar in so long. Is this really going 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.720 to motivate me to want to play it again? 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.120 But it could be you love collecting things, that's true, 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.600 and that's a collector's item for sure. I would assume 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.600 especially in that genre. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.120 No, I mean it could be, but I think with 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.280 I mean, they reissue it and they make a bunch 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:09.520 of them, So I don't know if it's going to 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.559 have really any like collector value to it, but it 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.160 would be to me because for a long time you 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.160 couldn't even find that guitar. 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.440 Yeah, I just feel like it'd be a cool collection 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.480 on your and your videos that I see from your 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.800 podcasts set up. I feel like that would be a 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:22.959 cool add to that because. 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.320 That's kind of how I justify some things. I'm like, 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.480 I put in the background, it's a set beast. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.240 It is. And I don't know, is that like something 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:30.280 that's super expensive? 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.880 That one? That was the other thing I saw it. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.240 It was like on a pretty good deal and he 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.199 still did it do it was only like nine hundred 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:38.840 we still a lot of money, like nine hundred bucks, 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.440 but originally it was like fifteen hundred. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.439 Oh yeah, that's a great deal. You're almost like happy. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:45.040 Yeah, that was the only thing. I was like, this 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:46.840 is such a good deal, Like why is this marked 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:47.559 down so much? 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:50.920 Your wife is gonna be like Morgan dot but you 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:51.880 should go back and get it. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:53.960 I don't know if it's there anymore. But yeah, I 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.400 really I think. I don't even think I told her 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.320 when I saw it, really, so I said it to 0:11:58.360 --> 0:11:59.920 my brother because he was like, that's cool. 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.559 Yeah, And she was probably just like, you have three guitars, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.880 what's this one? It's hard unless like you are a 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.640 person who understands which side of it. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.040 She probably would motivate me to get it because she's like, 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:13.959 you never buy things for yourself. And she's like, if 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.840 something is cool, like you have worked hard, you can 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:17.800 buy it for yourself. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:18.320 I love that. 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:19.640 That's probably why I didn't tell her, because then she 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.280 would convince me to do it, because I'm the one 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.720 who always talked myself out of buying something. Ever, I 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.720 don't like buying things. I don't really material things don't 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.719 really mean much to me. I'd rather spend money on experiences, 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:35.520 so I don't really get joy of owning just objects. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.160 I'd rather do things. And I can always like just 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.000 it's so hard for me to justify it in my 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.520 head of like I'm gonna spend eight hundred dollars on this, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.480 how many uses am I gonna get out of it? 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.560 If I only use it twice? That's four hundred dollars 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.000 of use. I always break it down by like. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.480 Use, yeah, and in all fairness, like totally fair, because 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.360 I'm right there with you. I'd rather have trips and 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:59.120 experiences and spend money on life versus owning a bunch 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.960 of stuff. But something that's been part of your life 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.800 for so long. You definitely didn't text your wife because 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:05.360 you knew she was. 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.560 Going to encourage to do it. And I guess since then, 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.640 I kind of have been on like a search of 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.480 all like the childhood things that I didn't own, and 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.000 that's kind of been like my avenue of like collecting 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.160 things right now is like what are all the items 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.040 that I wanted as a kid and have never bought? 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:24.800 And I'm kind of on the search for those. 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.800 Okay, here's a little hail Mary moment. If it's still 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.480 there wherever you found it, I feel like that's a 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:32.600 sign that you're supposed to have it. 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.520 I'm open to that. If it's still there and still 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.959 the same price and it wasn't a mistake. 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:43.400 Then you are supposed to own that guitar. That's crazy. 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.800 I never, I guess I just never. We've talked about 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.880 you having been in the band and stuff. But and 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.000 you playing guitars and stuff. Now, I feel like that 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.040 you could be a songwriter in that genre if you 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.560 wanted to. As like a passion side of things. 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.640 Is that genre? Yeah, I've never see. When I was 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.000 growing up, I didn't really know that that was the profession, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.880 that you could write songs. I always assumed that all 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.520 the bands that listened to wrote all their own songs, 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.680 which for the majority they did, because there's a lot 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.000 of punk bands. But now like seeing that my favorite band, 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.600 Blank Gwin eighty two, they have like people writing some 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.439 of their songs. I'm like, wait a minute, you. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.040 Could write a song for Blake two. That would be 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.400 a cool I don't know, just side passion, especially because 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.280 you also love to write. Yeah, I feel like that'd 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.200 be a cool creative outlet. But writing songs also different 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.880 than writing scripts. I can't do either, so but I 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.000 do know they're different. All Right, We're gonna take a 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:35.880 quick break, and I need to find out what else 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.680 was in the box, because it really got there one. 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:42.680 We'll be right back, all right, Mike, give it to me. 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:43.880 What else was inside the box? 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.360 So the other thing inside the box that gave me 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:51.520 a crazy nostalgia trip was my old Razor phone. Oh yeah, 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:56.400 I had a black Motorolla Razor that I bought off 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.560 of eBay used and I saved up all my money 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:02.160 for it, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.920 I got it at a point where they really weren't 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.720 that cool anymore. But I was like, I have to 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.520 have one of those phones because I want to download 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.720 a bunch of ring tones and I want to do 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.360 the flip. And it just looked cool and it was 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.880 just all black, and I was like, Oh, that's cool. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.360 They were cool for like ten years Sogo. I mean, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.160 they were around for a hot minute. I feel like 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:22.200 they're probably gonna come back. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:22.600 Hmm. 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.840 This is it. This brings up a good point. I 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.160 went into and this is definitely more of a girl thing. 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.200 But I went into a Victoria's Secret and they have 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.840 the secondary line that's called Pink. Have you ever heard 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:36.120 of Pink? So much more younger girl version versus Victoria's Secrets, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:40.400 more for adult women. And it's like I walked in there, 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:43.880 I stepped right back into the two thousands. They had 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.040 the yoga pants that had the fold over them. Things 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.520 were written on the butts. There was matching sweatsuits. We're 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.440 back with like crew necks with things written on them. 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.360 I straight up thought, holy crap, I'm back in high school. 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.160 There's like all over again. 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.200 Yeah, two thousands are very back again. 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.960 Oh my god. Yeah. So I feel like maybe the 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.280 razor could also see it comeback, or wasn't there something 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:08.160 they were promoting that was a phone like that. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.320 I think they did bring back the razor. It doesn't 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:11.920 look the same, but I think they do have a 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:13.160 new Motorola rasor. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:16.760 Okay, this is it is an interesting point because I'm 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.080 looking at all of that, what do you want to 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.360 not see make a comeback? Like, please do not bring 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:24.880 this back from the dead, And I have I have 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.520 one in my head, so I can like thank for 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.160 a second. But the first one that is come to 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:32.880 mind room is gauchos. Do you ever remember women wearing gauchos. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.840 I've heard of them. My wife has explained them to 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:37.440 me before, but now I don't remember. 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.600 Yes, so they were like yoga pants, but they were free, flowy, 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.920 but they were also capris and they were just really bizarre. 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.320 And I love a flowy pant. I love a capri, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.840
