Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Bob here, thanks for hanging out. It's a
Speaker 1: Sunday sampler. I want to play a few things. Number one,
Speaker 1: coming up, movie Mike's movie podcast.
Speaker 2: It's a game.
Speaker 1: He challenges you to identify some of the most obscure
Speaker 1: movie quotes.
Speaker 2: See if you can nail him.
Speaker 1: On Sore Losers, the president of the Nashville Podcast Network
Speaker 1: joins the guys. You know, they have kind of a
Speaker 1: resolution after a long time. And then starting us off,
Speaker 1: I talked with media executive Phil Becker, and we just
Speaker 1: talked about AI AI and radio. He introduced the first
Speaker 1: ever AI radio personality. We've talked about social media, and
Speaker 1: so here you go all these plus more Sunday sampler.
Speaker 1: We'll start with this a clip of my conversation with
Speaker 1: Phil Becker. He the thing that I struggle with the
Speaker 1: most daily, weekly, monthly in this format, which I love
Speaker 1: and grew up on. But I was also the napster
Speaker 1: kid right first. So as much as country music was
Speaker 1: the Arkansas music and Mike, my mother raised me on
Speaker 1: even traditional which I don't even know what current like
Speaker 1: a temporary country wasn't n ttil later, I was still
Speaker 1: a napster kid who had every influence. So it's almost
Speaker 1: that first generation, even in like I'm doing a project
Speaker 1: coming up the next couple months with Malcolm Gladwell who
Speaker 1: wrote Outliers, and I'd blink, yeah, so big fan of
Speaker 1: him and an Outliers specifically. You know, when Bill Gates
Speaker 1: lived in a town where there was a computer, he
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been Bill Gates if there wasn't that computer
Speaker 1: wasn't in that town. Like luckily that environment worked out
Speaker 1: with the person that was accepting of it and pushed
Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, we have somebody who's
Speaker 1: changing media. I think I'm very fortunate to have been
Speaker 1: birthed in a time that allowed me to be on
Speaker 1: the front side of digital media. But where I was
Speaker 1: really curious, I was consumed by we don't have to
Speaker 1: live in this artistic box that we've been delivered in.
Speaker 1: But I'm very fortunate in the same way Bill Gates
Speaker 1: was fortunate he had a computer in his town, the
Speaker 1: only one for miles and miles and miles. I got
Speaker 1: to be at the age where I had digital media first,
Speaker 1: and because of that, I have all of these different
Speaker 1: influences and from my most influential years, and so the
Speaker 1: one consistent thing has been other people my age or younger,
Speaker 1: regardless of where they grew up, country, hip hop up,
Speaker 1: They've all been influenced.
Speaker 3: By everything too.
Speaker 1: So the standard has been in this format, which again
Speaker 1: I know in love and I've dedicated my last fifteen
Speaker 1: years to it that anybody who comes over here must
Speaker 1: be a carpetbagger, because why weren't they here originally? If
Speaker 1: that's the case, I'm a carpetbagger in a way because
Speaker 1: even though I grew up on country music. In my
Speaker 1: first radio I begged to get a job at US
Speaker 1: ninety seven, they wouldn't hire me, and I did pop.
Speaker 1: But on my pop stations I would put country artists on.
Speaker 1: But to them because I wasn't completely I'm a carpetbagger. However,
Speaker 1: the thing I said with Beyonce was one, if we're
Speaker 1: going to say to be country, you've had to always
Speaker 1: be country, then there's a lot of people that if
Speaker 1: you're not a black artist coming over on a slave
Speaker 1: ship with a makeshift banjo, or if you're not a
Speaker 1: European with a basic fiddle, and the combination of those
Speaker 1: is what influenced the South and the South, then You're
Speaker 1: not a country right, So all you white dudes who
Speaker 1: have your goatee and your sunglasses, they're yelling at me
Speaker 1: that ain't country.
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to keep going.
Speaker 1: Back, I'm going to go back to the actual creation
Speaker 1: of country music.
Speaker 3: You ain't country.
Speaker 1: Secondly, I think also there is a problem, and I
Speaker 1: can understand this problem, and I understand why people feel
Speaker 1: this way because I feel it too. If somebody is
Speaker 1: not succeeding in a genre and they go, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to go and do country because it's not working
Speaker 1: for me. There I can understand being insulted by that, because, oh,
Speaker 1: where you're is it the easier format where you're the
Speaker 1: second place where you're you think you can because you
Speaker 1: can't make it where you did make it. Now you're
Speaker 1: just going to come over and think you can just
Speaker 1: succeed over here where we are. To me, that's not
Speaker 1: so much about art, but it's like, oh, you think
Speaker 1: you can't be the governor of Minnesota, You're gonna move
Speaker 1: to Arkansas and run trying to be the governor because
Speaker 1: you think we're idiots. So my point with Beyonce was
Speaker 1: she doesn't have to do that. She's doing it on
Speaker 1: her own. She's never been bigger yet she still wants
Speaker 1: to do country infused music and some of the music
Speaker 1: that is considered country now. And I could go back,
Speaker 1: and I've been in a couple documentaries where I.
Speaker 3: Talk about music.
Speaker 1: Even if you go back to like Bob Wills, who
Speaker 1: is traditional, like extremely he was the first guy that
Speaker 1: ever amplified as steal guitar, an electric still guitar that's
Speaker 1: not country. Well now it's the first time they made
Speaker 1: an electric guitar. You can go to the greats who've
Speaker 1: all been told you're not country. Generally, the people that
Speaker 1: aren't country and make it are the ones that reset country.
Speaker 1: So people that yell, hey, your country music, this is
Speaker 1: I like traditional country. At one point that traditional wasn't
Speaker 1: Beyonce today, right. And I've been lucky enough to sit
Speaker 1: with these artists who have been told that, and actually
Speaker 1: just Garth for example, everybody Garth's the greatest car. Garth
Speaker 1: wasn't country according to eighty percent of country music for
Speaker 1: a while because how he was doing his concerts. So
Speaker 1: I've often said, the people that say that something's not country,
Speaker 1: they almost have to exist. If everything stayed the same
Speaker 1: country music would die if everything stayed traditional country music
Speaker 1: would die. Any art I just happen to be in
Speaker 1: this one and that that ain't country. It's annoying as crap.
Speaker 1: But if it didn't happen, I don't think the format
Speaker 1: would be able to progress. Like so, I was upset
Speaker 1: with the Beyonce think, and I got a lot of
Speaker 1: offers to go and do all these TV shows, but
Speaker 1: I've found that going on with somebody else controls the narrative.
Speaker 1: And you're talking about race, that's tricky because they will cut,
Speaker 1: they'll cut your promo, and as a white dude, I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna talk talk about it in a mine, right,
Speaker 1: But I'm super happy that now people are being way
Speaker 1: more understanding of black art, at female artists, bands, anything
Speaker 1: that's not considered traditional country for now, because it's going
Speaker 1: to be traditional country in ten years and history is
Speaker 1: going to be on the side of the same side
Speaker 1: it's always been on progression.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you talked about being the napster kid,
Speaker 4: and you talked about being the Bill Gates situation where
Speaker 4: if he didn't live in that town, there wouldn't be sure.
Speaker 4: I actually think that you and I because we're roughly
Speaker 4: the same age. You and I are going to be
Speaker 4: bringing children into the world. People that are younger now,
Speaker 4: they're going to laugh at us. Dude, they're going to
Speaker 4: laugh at us and go, you told somebody what a
Speaker 4: genre was, right, that's offensive. You told someone how they
Speaker 4: had to feel about something.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 4: They're going to look back and you and I are
Speaker 4: supposedly the outliers, the disruptors, the rule breakers, even us
Speaker 4: compared to where the world will be, which is a
Speaker 4: beautiful thing.
Speaker 3: By the way, they'll laugh.
Speaker 1: It's very socratic, I'll say, because we're so smart. We
Speaker 1: know we're not that smart, right, Like I don't. I
Speaker 1: have no confidence that I know anything about art. I
Speaker 1: have confidence that eventually my sensibilities will get me to
Speaker 1: a spot that I realized I don't know. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna trust what I can find out.
Speaker 5: Good cass up, little food for yourself life. Oh it's
Speaker 5: pretty bad, it's pretty beautiful. Laugh a little more THI.
Speaker 5: You're kicking it with four with Amy Brown.
Speaker 6: Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown.
Speaker 6: And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.
Speaker 6: I want to talk about a myth of dyslexia, and
Speaker 6: that is that it's a sign of low intelligence.
Speaker 7: Which is the furthest thing from the truth.
Speaker 8: A lot of your millionaires, a lot of Hollywood actors,
Speaker 8: Chaining Tatum different, they are dyslexic, and they will talk
Speaker 8: about having to reredescript and reread a script. But these
Speaker 8: are successful people. These are very smart people. Albert Einstein,
Speaker 8: they said he was dyslexic. I saw a stat that's
Speaker 8: like seven out of ten millionaires.
Speaker 7: And I don't know how scientifically proven it was.
Speaker 8: We're dyslexic. And you had her on your show from
Speaker 8: Shark Tank. I was fascinated with her talking about her dyslexia.
Speaker 8: And I had always told entrepreneurship is a great way
Speaker 8: for dyslexics to go because they think so out of
Speaker 8: the box.
Speaker 7: Has nothing to do with intelligence at all.
Speaker 6: That was Barbara Corcoran, by the way, and yeah, it
Speaker 6: was it was cool to hear her say that, especially
Speaker 6: right after we had been diagnosed with it. And it's
Speaker 6: a it's a spectrum and you should get tested if
Speaker 6: you think you have it, or you know. You even
Speaker 6: said some adults come in to get their kids tested
Speaker 6: and they don't even know that they have it, but
Speaker 6: then they start to get curious. And for me, I
Speaker 6: think I always had a curiosity, but I would have
Speaker 6: never gotten tested because I just didn't put enough eggs
Speaker 6: in that basket that it could actually be dyslexia. But
Speaker 6: that's also because I had a misunderstanding of what dyslexia
Speaker 6: actually is. And I also have a question about it
Speaker 6: being hereditary. Does it often come from someone in our family?
Speaker 7: It does?
Speaker 8: It can skip generation, but like if you were to
Speaker 8: have a biological child, they would have a fifty percent
Speaker 8: more likelihood of having dyslexia.
Speaker 6: All right, Well, quick question about that, because if I
Speaker 6: was meant to be left handed and I was, you know,
Speaker 6: encouraged to be right, and that crossed the wires in
Speaker 6: my brain because dyslexia it's hereditary. Is it just because
Speaker 6: my brain was susceptible to that? Like if I didn't
Speaker 6: have dyslexia, my family somewhere, which my sister and I
Speaker 6: have a theory that it was potentially our dad, and
Speaker 6: I wish she was alive so that I could have
Speaker 6: him get tested.
Speaker 3: But he hated to read.
Speaker 6: He did not have dyscalcula because he was really great
Speaker 6: at math. But he was left handed, and he was
Speaker 6: very creative.
Speaker 8: And they're doing studies now like high school football players.
Speaker 8: They are finding that there can be a concussion related dyslexia.
Speaker 7: New studies that have just come out.
Speaker 8: I've been reading it just because it's fascinating to me
Speaker 8: that a brain injury can actually cause it.
Speaker 6: Well, I was getting some neurofeedback done a year and
Speaker 6: a half ago, is when I started, maybe two years ago,
Speaker 6: and she did a little scan over on my brain
Speaker 6: and she said, the front part of my brain, I
Speaker 6: guess had an injury of sorts, and your brain doesn't
Speaker 6: know the difference between an emotional trauma and a physical trauma. Yes,
Speaker 6: So all she could see was that there was tru
Speaker 6: to the brain right there. And she asked me if
Speaker 6: I had ever hit my head as a kid or anything,
Speaker 6: and I told her about a time that I was
Speaker 6: playing hide and seek and I slid headfirst into my parents'
Speaker 6: bed because the bed was base and I was about
Speaker 6: to get tagged, and so I slid and my arms
Speaker 6: went straight under on the carpet through the bed, but
Speaker 6: then my head hit the bedpost and I had to
Speaker 6: get stitches. And it's right there, and she goes, that's
Speaker 6: right when your add could have come into action. Yes,
Speaker 6: And I thought, what, I hit my head as a
Speaker 6: kid and that could be my ADD Like I thought
Speaker 6: that was something you were just born with. But she said, yeah,
Speaker 6: I know that trauma to your head could have been
Speaker 6: the culprit.
Speaker 8: Well, and my son had brain surgery because he battled
Speaker 8: brain cancer. So that was one thing that was really
Speaker 8: hard for us to separate. Okay, what is medical, what's educational?
Speaker 8: What is from surgery is what is not. That's one
Speaker 8: of the reasons it took us so long to be
Speaker 8: able to find help for him.
Speaker 6: Well, what signs can parents look for, Like if they're thinking, well,
Speaker 6: maybe I should get my kid tested or maybe I
Speaker 6: should get myself tested. What are signs people can look for.
Speaker 7: There's different signs for different ages.
Speaker 8: So for the young ones, if they are having a
Speaker 8: really hard time rhyming, that's usually a flag because having
Speaker 8: trouble rhyming is the number one thing for younger kids
Speaker 8: that you see and then you're riding your b's and
Speaker 8: d's backwards, those kind of things.
Speaker 7: But that can be natural until about seven.
Speaker 8: Mirror writing a complete sentence forwards or backwards. That's a
Speaker 8: huge flag, and some kids realize that it's cool trick
Speaker 8: and they don't want to switch it. Just realizing that
Speaker 8: I am not remembering things and it's not an age
Speaker 8: related thing. It's like, I read that whole paragraph, I
Speaker 8: can't remember what I was even looking for in it.
Speaker 8: Uptence to read is always a big sign inability to rhyme,
Speaker 8: to change up your phonetics your words, kind of like
Speaker 8: the test that we did after the Bobby Bone show
Speaker 8: where I had you switching around and taking parts of
Speaker 8: words out.
Speaker 6: Let's do an example of that and I'll do it.
Speaker 8: Okay, So the word toast replaced the first sound with a.
Speaker 6: C coast post.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 6: I think that's a good example, And then we did
Speaker 6: the syllable one.
Speaker 7: Yes. That was why I called in.
Speaker 8: Was Eddie talking about the cabbage because he couldn't figure
Speaker 8: out why they were saying it had so many sounds.
Speaker 7: So cabbage is cut.
Speaker 8: But at.
Speaker 7: Cabbage it has five distinct sounds.
Speaker 8: It has more letters than that, and it has less
Speaker 8: syllables than that.
Speaker 7: But those are the phonemes.
Speaker 6: That was what he saw on TikTok. Yes, okay, let's
Speaker 6: run through that one. Give me a word and I'll
Speaker 6: do the letter sounds.
Speaker 8: Okay, so through the the root.
Speaker 6: I feel like that one's a little tricky. It is
Speaker 6: is it three?
Speaker 7: Because it's the that's one sound er? Ooh, so through
Speaker 7: got it?
Speaker 6: It gets a little tricky. But we did a lot
Speaker 6: of those. And from the results of my test, and
Speaker 6: this is something I did one on one with you
Speaker 6: after the show, like a week or two after. What
Speaker 6: did that show you about what I had going on?
Speaker 8: It showed me that you have double deficit, which you
Speaker 8: have a phonological processing. You can process your sounds, but
Speaker 8: it does take you a little bit to be able
Speaker 8: to manipulate them, and it probably affects you more with
Speaker 8: your reading and comprehending because you don't realize how hard
Speaker 8: you're working with your brain to get all those phonetics
Speaker 8: out into all of that.
Speaker 2: Let's do it live, Oh the two so loser?
Speaker 3: What up? Everybody? I am lunchbox.
Speaker 9: I know the most about sports, so I'll give you
Speaker 9: the sports facts, my sports.
Speaker 3: Opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius. What up, y'all?
Speaker 10: A hiscison, I'm from the North, I'm in Alpha Male.
Speaker 10: I live on the West side of Nashville with Baser,
Speaker 10: my wife. We do have a white picket fence at
Speaker 10: the apartment complex. Soon I'm gonna have two point five kids,
Speaker 10: and yes, sadly, I will die of a heart attack
Speaker 10: when I'm seventy two years old.
Speaker 2: Here's a clip from the last podcast.
Speaker 3: Ah, so I did play golf yesterday. Whoa music bed?
Speaker 10: Don't know if it's playing or not.
Speaker 9: And I got a glimpse into what maybe our future is,
Speaker 9: maybe you and Justin's future. But it was like, wow,
Speaker 9: this is the future of a friendship or relationship that.
Speaker 3: Lasts so long.
Speaker 2: So this is a good story.

Speaker 9: I'm celebrating my dad's birthday.
Speaker 2: But he's not here. Oh he's celebrating.
Speaker 3: No I did. I was telling them.
Speaker 10: Somebody a single told me they're celebrating a birthday loser.
Speaker 9: They're like, oh, is your dad gonna play with Like, no,
Speaker 9: he lives in Texas, man, I'm celebrating his birthday by
Speaker 9: being outside and playing golf.
Speaker 3: Nice And so these two guys.
Speaker 9: Know each other, and Phil and Bill they're like, I mean,
Speaker 9: chatting it up, and they're nice friendly. About the fourth hole,
Speaker 9: they start talking trash Root tell you it feels like Bill,
Speaker 9: there ain't no damn way you're gonna make that shot.
Speaker 9: Ain't no way you're gonna make that damn shot Bill,
Speaker 9: and Bill trains it.
Speaker 2: Are they're playing for skins or what they're playing money.
Speaker 9: They're in a tournament and they play a couple of
Speaker 9: times a week, and they play money games at different courses,
Speaker 9: and they usually book three tea times, and they didn't
Speaker 9: get in the three tea times, so they were on
Speaker 9: their own and they just had to be honest about
Speaker 9: their score.
Speaker 2: Highly illegal though.
Speaker 3: The betting, Yeah yeah, I understand.
Speaker 9: And Bill looks at me and goes you think Phil
Speaker 9: gets in my head when he tells me I'm not
Speaker 9: gonna miss a shops. I mean, I met him in
Speaker 9: eighty seven. I haven't listened to him what he said
Speaker 9: since ninety two, and I'm like, dude.
Speaker 10: It went back since eighties nineties. That's forty years, That's
Speaker 10: what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: And I felt like, oh my god, this is the
Speaker 9: future of what life is going to be like if
Speaker 9: we are still doing this podcast in thirty to forty years.
Speaker 2: Playing at the local shitty muni.
Speaker 3: And they were.
Speaker 9: They were so funny the way they would talk to
Speaker 9: each other. I mean, one would hit a good shot,
Speaker 9: he'd be like, not that good. He'd be like, you
Speaker 9: could have hit it farther. You know, like they know
Speaker 9: nothing nice to each other, and it was all in
Speaker 9: good fun.
Speaker 3: But I banged your life.
Speaker 2: No, did you try and join in? No, I had
Speaker 2: sex with Martha last night.
Speaker 3: No coach. Then they turned Yeah. Phil and Bill get
Speaker 3: a love set. I don't want I don't want to
Speaker 3: upset Phil and Bill.
Speaker 2: He's about to drive I banged your wife last night.
Speaker 3: What Bill gets out of the cart?
Speaker 9: Do you feel the lines pil grabs his wedges are
Speaker 9: knocking me out.
Speaker 3: I know we didn't do any of that.
Speaker 2: Come here, you millennial mothercker. I got to just hit
Speaker 2: you over the he set up a bit.
Speaker 9: Now, then Bill tells me, he goes. Bill's always like man,
Speaker 9: he goes, Bill goes. Phil's always bragging about how many
Speaker 9: fairways he hits. Oh I hit eight fairways, he goes.
Speaker 3: But you know what he done that.
Speaker 9: He doesn't brag about how many green and regulations he hits.
Speaker 3: He goes.
Speaker 9: He can say, oh I hit eight fairways. How many
Speaker 9: girls you get to thank you?
Speaker 3: Great? So then we're on the tenth t.
Speaker 2: Are you playing money with him?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 9: No, no, because they're in a pool. They're in a
Speaker 9: like the tea times after us. There's like three or
Speaker 9: four of them. Those are the guys that are playing
Speaker 9: for money. So they keep scoring. Then they go in
Speaker 9: the clubhouse and they dibby up their money.
Speaker 3: And at some point we.
Speaker 10: Got to go to a country club and pay ten
Speaker 10: grand a year, because I mean, you just going to
Speaker 10: a course and hoping for a tea time. We don't
Speaker 10: have to deal with that if we can afford it.
Speaker 9: Country here's the problem with the country club. You fork
Speaker 9: out ten twenty thirty thousand dollars to join. You never
Speaker 9: get jets just to join. Then you have to pay
Speaker 9: per month. I don't know, Oh.
Speaker 10: You do, yeah, but I feel like they always get
Speaker 10: the tea times they want.
Speaker 9: Well, probably, yeah, because you're paying fifty thousand dollars for
Speaker 9: a tea time.
Speaker 10: I went to this course one time with bones Bro.
Speaker 10: There was no tea times. They just they said we'll
Speaker 10: make sure you get on. You just show up and
Speaker 10: they get you on.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 9: That's sort of like the local muni when I call
Speaker 9: them like hey, no, no, I'm like, hey, I got
Speaker 9: a single? Can I get a tea time for one o'clock? Oh,
Speaker 9: we don't put singles on the T sheet. You can
Speaker 9: just come out and we'll try to get you in. Well,
Speaker 9: why would you not put me on the T sheet
Speaker 9: if I called and requested it. Now you are down
Speaker 9: to three spots available for that tea time. It's that simple.
Speaker 9: Not putting a single on the T sheet is stupid
Speaker 9: because then I am forced to play Russian Roulette and
Speaker 9: hope I'm gonna get out there and play when I
Speaker 9: just show up at the course.
Speaker 10: Right, Well, and there should be twelve minute windows, and
Speaker 10: sometimes they can kind of fudge those a little bit
Speaker 10: and squeeze you in right.
Speaker 9: But I'm saying to say, you don't put a single
Speaker 9: on the T sheet. So if I called the day
Speaker 9: before and I'm like, hey, I want to play at
Speaker 9: one o'clock tomorrow, Sorry, we don't put singles on the
Speaker 9: T sheet. Cool, Then I show up to play at
Speaker 9: one o'clock, they're like, oh yeah, you're gonna to wait
Speaker 9: till one forty five. Well why I called yesterday and
Speaker 9: said I want to get on him one?
Speaker 3: That's the Neuni life. I mean, it's so frustrating. What
Speaker 3: about your thing though? You do?
Speaker 2: You say you have a friend and then you show
Speaker 2: up he canceled last second.
Speaker 9: Man, I should do that more. I always say too,
Speaker 9: And then oh man, he's not gonna make it.
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, you're.
Speaker 10: We got ba justin got a little hookup. A member
Speaker 10: passed and so we got his name. Oh so we
Speaker 10: can use his name.
Speaker 3: Rest in peace?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: No, no, no he didn't.
Speaker 1: He was.
Speaker 2: He just doesn't go anymore.
Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, my bad. But anyway, back to Phil
Speaker 3: and Bill Philling Bill a bill.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 9: So we're on we're on number ten, right and I'm like, oh, so,
Speaker 9: how'd you guys meet. Phil looks at me and goes,
Speaker 9: Dorms eighty seven, Oh, my Vanderbilt, no, tennessee the falls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you get any inside information on the game tonight?
Speaker 9: I did not get any inside information, but they they
Speaker 9: are big fans of the balls. Think they're going all
Speaker 9: the way.
Speaker 2: That's inside information, thank you.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but they did look at me and they said, yeah,
Speaker 9: Phil goes. I came down the stairs and I saw
Speaker 9: them over there playing ping pong and I was like,
Speaker 9: I can whoop their ass at ping pong? And he
Speaker 9: said so, I walked up to the table, said I
Speaker 9: got next, and I was like, really, so, how'd you do?
Speaker 3: Phil? He goes.
Speaker 9: All Bill was the best ping pong player, he smoked me,
Speaker 9: he goes. But that's where it started, at the ping
Speaker 9: pong table.
Speaker 3: In the dorms.
Speaker 2: You good at ping pong.
Speaker 9: I used to play with my brother. He used to
Speaker 9: beat me because he was older. But now I whoop
Speaker 9: his ass. Really, yeah, you know he's really good at
Speaker 9: ping pong.

Speaker 10: They play over the aisle he does cake batter mix,
Speaker 10: puts it up and then gets a beer pong thing
Speaker 10: from Yeah, the aisles.
Speaker 3: He's really good.
Speaker 10: It's actually pretty competitive when it's me, Boomer, Muffy and
Speaker 10: my mom.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh no no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: No, no, Boomer, me, my mom and Baser. That's really competitive.
Speaker 3: It can't be that competitive.
Speaker 10: It is because me and Boomer are about even and
Speaker 10: my mom and Base. We played double Yeah, we played
Speaker 10: on it. Oh dude, it's awesome. We went forever at
Speaker 10: the condo.
Speaker 9: That's fun. Yeah, that's a good time. Yeah, I mean Garrett,
Speaker 9: I mean the drunken knights. At his house, he has
Speaker 9: a ping pong table in the garage and he'd back
Speaker 9: his old camaro out and set up the ping pong table,
Speaker 9: played till three or four in the morning.
Speaker 10: We had a ping pong table at Metropolitan. Billy brought
Speaker 10: it in. Guess how many times we played our senior
Speaker 10: year at college.
Speaker 3: Two zero.
Speaker 10: Oh, we played a thousand games of beer pong, though, okay,
Speaker 10: we never once played ping pong, so he.
Speaker 9: Got his money's worth. We used to play ping pong
Speaker 9: when we'd go visit my mom's parents, my grandma and
Speaker 9: grandpa on my mom's side in Chicago. They had a
Speaker 9: ping pong table in the basement. Such an easy thing
Speaker 9: to have, Oh my gosh. We would play for hours
Speaker 9: down there. That was the only time we play. We
Speaker 9: never played ping pong except when we went to go
Speaker 9: visit him. And of course, my brother's two years older
Speaker 9: than me, maybe two and a half years.
Speaker 3: Older than me.
Speaker 9: I don't know exactly how you do the math, so
Speaker 9: he was obviously better than me. So I'd sit down
Speaker 9: there and play him, and he'd beat me up back
Speaker 9: one more game, of course, play him again.
Speaker 3: He beat me up.
Speaker 10: Bout just one more, one more game, I connect four,
Speaker 10: Just one more, just one more, and we would play forever.
Speaker 3: It was so freaking fun.
Speaker 2: This is gonna blow you, so get on your knees.
Speaker 2: They now make little things that just attached to any
Speaker 2: table for ping pong.
Speaker 3: Well, you need a ping pong table, you need the
Speaker 3: proper bounces.
Speaker 10: Nah, you can just do a kitchen table. Did we
Speaker 10: did in my grandma's place. It was me and Boomer
Speaker 10: just smacking it over Christmas on her fine china table.
Speaker 3: Okay, now that might be fun, so not legal regulation size.
Speaker 2: It sucks when it goes to the end because they're rounded.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so it'll just fall off.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: So back to Phil and Bill.
Speaker 9: We're on the course right five, and then they start
Speaker 9: talking about, oh, dude, you know what we used to
Speaker 9: do for howurds hegos RBI baseball And they started breaking
Speaker 9: down which team they would play with, and they started
Speaker 9: doing the sound effects strata matic and I was like,
Speaker 9: this is exactly what we did. But I was eight
Speaker 9: years old and they were in college.
Speaker 10: Carl Lyne, she's a queen and talking it was so
Speaker 10: she's getting really not afraid to feel its episol sold.
Speaker 5: Just let it flow.
Speaker 3: No one can do it quiet.
Speaker 12: Cary Lone, its sounding Caroline.
Speaker 13: Hey, Hey, it's Caroline Hobby And this week on Get Real,
Speaker 13: I have such an incredible podcast. As Chovall. She is
Speaker 13: one of the world's best wedding dress designers, but had
Speaker 13: signed a terrible contract and lost all the rights to
Speaker 13: her birth name. Could not be a part of any
Speaker 13: of the wedding dress design industry. It was a breach
Speaker 13: of contract, so she had to reinvent herself start a
Speaker 13: whole new brand. Now she launched as Cheval and she
Speaker 13: sells amazing shoes with such heart, such soul and tons
Speaker 13: of glitter. Her story is phenomenal. She's an inspiration to
Speaker 13: young women on how to take ownership of yourself, of
Speaker 13: your brand, how to be prepared, how to be smart,
Speaker 13: how to be savvy, and how to be a boss.
Speaker 13: And she also teaches us that when everything falls apart,
Speaker 13: you can rebuild and come back stronger than ever. So
Speaker 13: get excited for this week's episode of Get Real with Cheval. Okay, So,
Speaker 13: looking back now, because you've now gone through a divorce
Speaker 13: with your relationship romantically, but also with your business. You know, yeah,
Speaker 13: so you've obviously dealt with some red flags that have
Speaker 13: materialized into like kind of erupting.
Speaker 2: What are way to say?
Speaker 14: You know, you always have the red flags just go away,
Speaker 14: and now it's a erupting and you're like, oh no,
Speaker 14: it's coming.
Speaker 13: It's a red flags. Can you kind of speak to
Speaker 13: all of us out there who are living with blinders
Speaker 13: on and young because it started when you're young.
Speaker 3: Do red flags ever go away?
Speaker 14: I don't think so. I don't know. I guess it's
Speaker 14: all relative and there are exceptions to the rule, But
Speaker 14: I do think I relate to a lot of women
Speaker 14: that have that intuition or that gut feeling that you
Speaker 14: ignore or you push down or you come up with
Speaker 14: conspiracy theories against yourself of like what it's not, you know,
Speaker 14: because you want something to happen or you want it
Speaker 14: to materialize in a certain way, and.
Speaker 13: It's always like close. It's like so close. There's so
Speaker 13: many things that are so good about it. You're like,
Speaker 13: it's like seventy percent there, let's just.
Speaker 14: Not worry about the last thirty percent, right exactly, It
Speaker 14: is the majority overall, that's right.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're gonna round up.
Speaker 14: Oh goodness, and then it starts to grow the opposite way,
Speaker 14: so right, Yeah, but I don't know. I do feel
Speaker 14: like tenacity and resilience and just like the idea of
Speaker 14: success is really about just like recognizing the ebbs and
Speaker 14: flows of life, but knowing that the failures are going
Speaker 14: to happen, the mistakes are going to happen, and if
Speaker 14: you can maintain your light, you know, and maintain your
Speaker 14: enthusiasm for what you do, that is a sign of.
Speaker 12: Success for me.
Speaker 13: Yeah, this is your message.
Speaker 14: Oh, that is totally the message.
Speaker 13: No matter how successful you are in your personal relationships
Speaker 13: or your business relationship, your actual message is maintain your
Speaker 13: light through the dumpster fires exactly.
Speaker 14: Just yeah, and it be lighter than that dumpster fire somehow,
Speaker 14: Like how shine the dumpster fire?
Speaker 13: I saw this too, and you have so you have
Speaker 13: so much in common with Taylor Swift, you know, because
Speaker 13: she's in legal battles as well. But also she said too,
Speaker 13: like she's had so much stuff on her and she said,
Speaker 13: you just have to get through all this and then
Speaker 13: have more fun than everybody else. And I'm like, that
Speaker 13: is so true, because when you're going through the worst stuff,
Speaker 13: it really takes your fun away, it takes your light away.
Speaker 13: You can really like crawl in a hole and die.
Speaker 14: Yes, you cannot unpack and live there, you know, because
Speaker 14: you'll take a visit every once in a while.
Speaker 13: I have to like take a vacation there for a while.
Speaker 13: Did you have a permanente, say for a minute, and
Speaker 13: not a permanent Do you have like a you know,
Speaker 13: like a residency for a second?
Speaker 14: I did?
Speaker 2: I absolutely did.
Speaker 14: I feel like that's the healthy thing to do.
Speaker 13: Just you got to get in there. I mean you
Speaker 13: have to like meet it and.
Speaker 2: Say, who the hell are you?
Speaker 14: What are we doing?
Speaker 13: Like what do you want from me?
Speaker 14: Yeah. And I think there's a bit of accountability too
Speaker 14: in that space because when something like that.
Speaker 13: Happened, accountability look at you claim and some stuff, because
Speaker 13: there's always your side their side in the truth.
Speaker 14: Right there is like a okay, well there must have
Speaker 14: been something that I did for this to happen, you know,
Speaker 14: and the right and I think in accepting it and
Speaker 14: owning part of it.
Speaker 13: That's a maturity right there.
Speaker 14: It's maturity. But it's also like I didn't know what
Speaker 14: I didn't know, right and then like I am paying
Speaker 14: the debt for my own naivety or ignorance.
Speaker 13: And don't we all do that?
Speaker 3: Though we do.
Speaker 13: You just did it on a bigger scale.
Speaker 3: On a legal way out there, because that's not okay.
Speaker 13: So now that way, let's move into plot line B here,
Speaker 13: which is where you really like hit your stride, Like
Speaker 13: you become the wedding dress designer. You are the face
Speaker 13: of say yes to the dress? Like, how did that
Speaker 13: even happen? Let me, there are a few things out there,
Speaker 13: and then let's unpack it. You become like the face
Speaker 13: of say yes to the dress, like you are helping
Speaker 13: like over forty thousand brides find their wedding dress or
Speaker 13: something like that, like thousands, like thousands, thousands.
Speaker 14: It was wonderful.
Speaker 13: You are the wedding dress designer. I mean everybody knows you.
Speaker 13: Everybody's talking about you. You're pinned on everything. It's like
Speaker 13: that's you. It's not the name Chaval, by the way,
Speaker 13: it's a different.
Speaker 14: Name, correct, which the distinction is needed.
Speaker 13: Yes, because Chaval is not wedding dress dresses. It is
Speaker 13: wonderful things. So that that's plotline CE So we'll move
Speaker 13: to that later. There's just so many things. I don't
Speaker 13: want to get it confused.
Speaker 3: I know you're doing a great job.
Speaker 13: Okay, And so you become this like epic designer and
Speaker 13: you probably needed some money to get your business going
Speaker 13: right or something because you found a partnership and this
Speaker 13: partner you found a company to back you financially, right
Speaker 13: this one, yes, yeah, yeah, because we're black on, like
Speaker 13: we're back in the beginning this plot. Yeah, when you
Speaker 13: well plot B plat was childhood. Now plot be into
Speaker 13: like your career. So you are going to launch and
Speaker 13: become the successful wedding dress designer. But do you need
Speaker 13: a backer, like you need someone to help you launch this?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 14: So basically it was a house of brands existing with
Speaker 14: other designers and it was almost like a plug and
Speaker 14: play in that, like they had existing distribution and manufacturing.
Speaker 14: And then you know, I was coming to the table
Speaker 14: and was offered an employment role as a head designer,
Speaker 14: but it would be using my name as the name
Speaker 14: for the collection.
Speaker 13: Okay, wait, okay, okay, So this is the part that
Speaker 13: we got to break down. You were this is like
Speaker 13: it's almost like a record label. So like there's a
Speaker 13: speak in music terms, there's like a record label and
Speaker 13: you're going to be a signed artist, but the record
Speaker 13: label owns is like a machine behind it all. But
Speaker 13: you're an artist signed and you're the artist is using
Speaker 13: your name, so you're going to be the brand and
Speaker 13: you're going to have the creativity which would be like
Speaker 13: your songs that you create and you put it out and
Speaker 13: you go tour and you're the face of it and
Speaker 13: all that. But yes, you are technically kind of owned
Speaker 13: by the record label or the bigger brand.
Speaker 11: Yes.
Speaker 14: And every contract is nuanced, right, so it's not always generalized.
Speaker 14: But in my case, it was an employment contract as
Speaker 14: a head designer.
Speaker 13: Okay, an employment contract as a head designer with this
Speaker 13: big brand, but the name is going to be your name.
Speaker 14: Correct, Yeah, So I had to give rights for my
Speaker 14: name to be trademarked because it was the name of
Speaker 14: the collection.
Speaker 13: If I don't think anything of that when you're twenty five, right,
Speaker 13: actually sounds may be cool.
Speaker 14: It was the chance to shoot my shot. And I
Speaker 14: think being that age, and I had a little industry
Speaker 14: experience under my belt about four or five years and
Speaker 14: I've already I've already spearheaded my own collections and been
Speaker 14: designing very heavily. I had a robust resume coming in.
Speaker 13: Okay, and you had some some you're cooking with great cooking.
Speaker 3: Yeah you're cooking you had with Grease.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 13: I saw that from Landy Wilson sew cooking.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 13: So and then so they were you were desirable, They wanted.
Speaker 14: You absolutely, and I actually sopped them out originally and
Speaker 14: I presented, you know, a bit of a business model
Speaker 14: and it happened very fast. So from the time of like,
Speaker 14: you know, we're going to offer you this to like
Speaker 14: here's the contract. And I think at the time, I
Speaker 14: just didn't want to lose my opportunity and knowing how
Speaker 14: many people want to be designers and get their shot,
Speaker 14: and I felt like the responsibility was on me holy
Speaker 14: to show them what I could do and what like.
Speaker 13: And to agree maybe to what they want, so you could.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and not be combative, not push back, not ever
Speaker 14: like put anything out there that would ever seem like
Speaker 14: you know, I'm not a team player, and I think
Speaker 14: a lot of young designers relate to that, and thinking,
Speaker 14: you know, if I show any sign of being difficult
Speaker 14: or they're gonna walk away, They're not gonna want to
Speaker 14: work with me, and I'll write my opportunity exactly.
Speaker 12: Hey, it's Mike d and this week a Movie Mike's
Speaker 12: Movie podcast, I did obscure movie quotes from famous movies.
Speaker 12: Whether you're just a casual film fan or consider yourself
Speaker 12: a movie buff, it's fun to play along and try
Speaker 12: to see if you can name where these obscure movie
Speaker 12: quotes are from. So here are a few from the
Speaker 12: episode to test your knowledge. If you want to hear
Speaker 12: the full thing, be sure to subscribe to my podcast.
Speaker 12: But right now, here's just a little bit of Movie
Speaker 12: Mike's Movie Podcast. Here is the first obscure movie quote.
Speaker 12: Name the movie and big old fat right mean that
Speaker 12: one should be pretty easy. Character has a really distinct voice.
Speaker 12: The year is nineteen ninety four. And again here's the movie.
Speaker 3: Quote and big old fat run mean.
Speaker 12: This is not the biggest quote from this movie, but
Speaker 12: the one I find to be one of the most
Speaker 12: memorable obscure movie quotes. And the answer is Forrest Gump.
Speaker 12: I just love that seed of him going through all
Speaker 12: of the different types of rain, and that one always
Speaker 12: just stick out to me, just big old fat rain. Obviously,
Speaker 12: I think the most overrated movie quote in this movie.
Speaker 3: Is life is like a box of chocolates.
Speaker 12: That is probably the first movie quote I learned.
Speaker 3: Ever.
Speaker 12: I think even before I watched Forrest Gump, I knew
Speaker 12: that quote to the point that I saw it in
Speaker 12: the movie, I was like, oh, that is what that
Speaker 12: is from. But there are so many great really obscure
Speaker 12: movie quotes in Forrest Gump that one just happens to
Speaker 12: be my favorite. So again, starting off easy, here we go.
Speaker 12: Here's the second obscure movie quote.
Speaker 11: Hey guys, ooh big golf suh? All right, well see
Speaker 11: you later.
Speaker 12: Also from nineteen ninety four, or can you name that movie?
Speaker 12: Here's that obscure movie quote again, Hey.
Speaker 11: Guys, cool, big golf suh, All right, well, see you later.
Speaker 12: There's a famous story behind this quote. This actor is
Speaker 12: known for improvising lines, and in this scene specifically, there
Speaker 12: are two other people he is interacting with that are
Speaker 12: actually not actors at all. They weren't even paid for
Speaker 12: their role because they didn't have any speaking lines. Which
Speaker 12: if you watch a movie and notice there are extras
Speaker 12: that don't say anything, and it feels weird at times
Speaker 12: because you have these two maybe three main characters talking,
Speaker 12: having a conversation, and there are other people that, if
Speaker 12: you were in a normal situation, would definitely have something
Speaker 12: to say or react to what is going on. That
Speaker 12: is because if an extra speaks a line, that person
Speaker 12: has to be paid. They don't always have to be
Speaker 12: credited in the movie credits, but if anybody speaks a
Speaker 12: line in a movie or a TV show, it starts
Speaker 12: to become a more and more expensive production. So in
Speaker 12: this case, these two other people who were in this
Speaker 12: scene didn't make any money. So here's the quote one
Speaker 12: more time.
Speaker 11: Hey guys, ooh big gulf suh, all right, well, see
Speaker 11: you later.
Speaker 12: And that movie is dumb and dumber. That is essentially
Speaker 12: me in every single social situation I get into.
Speaker 3: I have nothing to say.
Speaker 12: I am so socially awkward. My biggest worry every time
Speaker 12: I am with a group of people is I am
Speaker 12: going to run out of topics to talk about unless
Speaker 12: they want to talk about movies. And even if they
Speaker 12: want to talk about movies, my social anxiety takes over
Speaker 12: and I feel like I'm talking too much or feel
Speaker 12: like I'm way too nerdy. So that is me, that
Speaker 12: is me making conversation. Moving on, can you name this
Speaker 12: obscure movie quote celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary. I remember
Speaker 12: laughing so much at this scene whenever I first watched
Speaker 12: this movie. I'll explain exactly what is happening in this
Speaker 12: clip and the reason I was laughing so hard. But again,
Speaker 12: here is that obscure movie quote number four, and that
Speaker 12: movie is South Park, Bigger, Longer, and uncut. It is
Speaker 12: the scene wherever they dare Kenny to light his fart
Speaker 12: on fire and then Kenny is engulfed in flames and
Speaker 12: they are trying to put him out. And if you're
Speaker 12: unfamiliar with the show South Park, you're probably a more
Speaker 12: refined individual. Than I am. But in every single episode
Speaker 12: of that show, Kenny dies in some really weird way,
Speaker 12: some really brutal way. And in the movie he goes
Speaker 12: out by well lighting his fart on fire, and then Cartman,
Speaker 12: who is that voice you heard there, is trying to
Speaker 12: put out the fire with a stick, and instead of
Speaker 12: being concerned with this friend Kenny on fire, who is
Speaker 12: probably going to die, he's instead worried about the stick
Speaker 12: being on fire.
Speaker 3: Can you name this movie?
Speaker 7: Shut your mouth when you're talking to me?
Speaker 12: I just love the reaction from the actors in this movie.
Speaker 12: This scene takes place in the opening part. You have
Speaker 12: some people in a legal hearing and this is but
Speaker 12: one person says to the other party. Again, here's that
Speaker 12: movie quote.
Speaker 7: Oh shut your mouth when you're talking to me.
Speaker 12: And that movie is from two thousand and five Wedding Crashers.
Speaker 12: The two thousands were riddled with great movie quotes. Comedies
Speaker 12: in particular. If I could go back and recreate one
Speaker 12: decade of movies, it would be two thousands comedies. And
Speaker 12: speaking of two thousand comedies, this isn't a full on comedy.
Speaker 12: It's kind of a dramedy.
Speaker 7: Can you just hold on for a second. I'm on
Speaker 7: my Hamburger phone.
Speaker 12: This movie had so many great memorable movie quotes. This
Speaker 12: one was more on the obscure side. But I remember
Speaker 12: at this time in two thousand and seven, this was
Speaker 12: a really big time for movie quote merchandise. Any movie
Speaker 12: that came out had to have some t shirt at
Speaker 12: hot topic with any obscure movie quote because people were
Speaker 12: eating these up. I think the movie that really started
Speaker 12: this trend was Napoleon Dynamite, which was kind of an
Speaker 12: unexpected hit in the early two thousands and did really
Speaker 12: well on merchandise. And the two thousands were also a
Speaker 12: time where graphic teas were king. You weren't cool unless
Speaker 12: you went to J. C. Pennies or Walmart and got
Speaker 12: a funny graphic tea with something novel written on it.
Speaker 3: Now, I'm not.
Speaker 12: Gonna lie, it looks a little bit outdated. If you're
Speaker 12: out in twenty twenty four with a gravity like this, Hey,
Speaker 12: if that your thing, more power to you. But also
Speaker 12: you're probably stuck in another decade. But again, here is
Speaker 12: that movie quote.
Speaker 1: Can you just hold on for a second, I'm on
Speaker 1: my Hamburger phone.
Speaker 12: And that is from two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3: Juno. What a great movie that really.
Speaker 12: Holds up as a fantastic cast, a fantastic soundtrack, and
Speaker 12: a bunch of killer movie quotes.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to this week's Sunday Sampler. Have a
Speaker 1: good Sunday, Happy Easter, everybody.
Speaker 5: My grand stay
