So the other day I told Julianne that 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.600 you were coming in and East and our engineer here's 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:43.960 going to que it up for you. Tell me when 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.000 you're ready East. Oh, here it is, so I'm filming here. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:55.160 She doesn't like, literally, are you like all time crush 0:01:55.200 --> 0:02:01.880 of all crushes? It's too funny. She did the dramatic 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:12.000 breath yea, like after you have a cold beer. She's 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:16.000 got a book, cookbook. Let's not let's not turn me 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:21.480 into some novelist. I'm not Jack Carrowac or anything like that. Um, 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.760 but she was, Oh my god, she was fired up. 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.720 She's actually out of town, so she wasn't able to 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.520 come in. Otherwise I guarantee she'd be making appearance on 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:30.840 this podcast. So your wife, Your wife's probably in her 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.040 mid thirties. I'm not trying to expose in a young 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.280 early thirties somewhere in there, so that that's the age. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.760 So the right around that age is all these grown 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.680 people and all the boys of that generation hate me, 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.120 and all the girls of that generation do what your 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.720 lady did, which is just love me. And I feel 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.720 bad because like they made their guys go see a 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.200 bunch of romantic comedies where the expectation of what a 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:02.239 guy should be is never gonna be achieved by anyone 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.960 who wasn't reading lines from a script. And so all 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.240 these and now that's their ex girl right now, right, 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.400 so they have a reason to hate me. And then 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.600 your girl said Summer Catch, which every year, by the way, 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.040 I love that movie. That movie well you saw in 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.960 the right vein then, but the Major League Baseball Network 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.639 plays it every year and on social media, like one 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.919 out of every ten messages that will come to me 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:29.080 be some guy like what is this romantic comedy doing 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.239 on the mL beach. I'm like, it's not a documentary, dude, 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.040 Like you know who's in it? Chill out. By the way, 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.560 So I was a hockey player. I was a hockey player. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.040 I so, I I don't know why I loved I 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.120 just loved Summer Catch. I loved it. It had a 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.320 blue collar field to it, And I think hockey is 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.240 a very blue collar sport. Um as far as like 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.160 all the athletes go outside of combat sports like hockey 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.360 guys are the toughest guys. I don't see any other 0:03:55.400 --> 0:04:00.120 athletes talking trash ever about their contracts and and what 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.040 guaranteed money and what isn't, but they'll call out other 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.920 sports and athletes. I've met a lot of hockey guys 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.360 and outside of combat sports like those are the toughest 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:10.360 kind of blue color. And there was a blue collar 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.400 in this to it because it was that amateur league 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.440 Cape cod League. It was guys trying to chase their 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.080 dream getting getting into the pros. And I got to 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.240 pitch to Ken Griffey Jr. Man, you got to hit 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:24.039 bombs off. Did you grow up playing baseball? Um? Do 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.480 you have a baseball background? I grew up playing little 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.440 league ball. And then my godfather is Bob Wall, And 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.480 Bob Wall was the guy that trained Bruce Lee when 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.760 Bruce came to America and vice versa. And his best 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.120 friend was Chuck Norris and Geane Liddell or Gene LaBelle 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.640 and uh Pat Johnson, the guy with the mustache and 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.640 the original karate kid. That's like the referees like alright, Laurel, 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.000 So like that was a dude of taught me how 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.720 a wheel kick. Come on. Those were the guys that 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.120 that I kind of grew up on and and those 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.040 are the dudes that raised me. And they all had 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.480 daughters pretty much except Chuck. They grabbed on it. My 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.160 dad armed a lot of My dad was a stand 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.839 up comic in the seventies and and he died tragically 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:09.000 and but charmed a lot of very smart men and women, 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.279 and all those people kind of said, yeah, we're gonna 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.200 take care of you and not let and not let 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.240 bad stuff happen to you. So they all kind of 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:20.120 took care of me in uh in that regards so right. 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.400 But Bob wall Man, I'm telling if you don't know 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.839 who he is, watching Bruce Lee movie, he's got a scar. 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.799 He's the guy with the scar down his eye.

Only a man can 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:10.359 rock that scar or like an old Western I got. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.960 I got a question for you, Um, do you uh 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.039 do you still get like fan girls like my wife 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.120 just did in that video? Do you get that quite often? 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.080 You're married, now you have two kids, but like, do 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.159 people still see you not like when I was younger? 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.200 Like when I was younger, girls would run up and 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.480 steal whatever I was eating and just bounce like a 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.240 like a green Beret in a night getting a pow 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.520 and just ghosted, And I'm like, what where they go? 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.320 What was that? But now you know it's people are chill, man. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.839 It's mostly their kids tripping out that I don't look 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.599 like Fred from Scooby Dude, or kids tripping out that 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.880 I that my voice sounds a lot like this Jedi 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.400 from a Star Wars cartoon and they find out it is, 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.360 and they're like, WHOA, that's cool. You know, I get 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:56.800 a lot of can you tell my kid, may the 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:01.120 Force be with you? Yeah? Man, So that's more now, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.159 But when I was younger, yeah, people would trip out 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.080 of it. What about hate from dudes? And he hate 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:09.360 from dudes always bro, Yeah, since I mean, some guys 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.440 are actually funny about it. They're like, man, I hated 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.160 you so much in the nineties and then they're right, 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.320 but you're actually pretty cool. And you know, I don't 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.760 take myself too seriously. I have a podcast with Josh 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:22.960 Wolfe called Friends and the Wolf and we're very open 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.200 and honest about being Dad's this business, our histories. He's 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.800 a stand up comic and has been banging it out 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.720 for years, so we both kind of look at the 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:34.280 business from from different angles and life from very different angles. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.080 And uh so I don't take the hate as hate, 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.800 you know what I'm saying, Like I don't. I don't 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:41.720 know you and my like I said, I was raised 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.960 by weird old school guys where if you didn't earn 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.400 my respect, then your opinion really didn't mean much. And 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.480 that's a hardcore way to live. But that's how we 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.080 were raised. So there was normal to us, right. So 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.560 I like social media, I like when people get mad. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.320 Some people get mad at me over like Star Wars stuff. 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.520 Some people get mad because they just didn't like my movies, right, 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:05.160 and they'll just they'll just reach out and be like, hey, man, 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.720 you sucked in whatever, and down to you. I'm like, yo, man, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.760 I didn't even see that movie. Like I just got 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.640 the check and like I did the premiere and then 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.040 I went to Jerry's bowling Alley. I didn't even stay 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.960 for the movie. If you didn't like it, that's on you, man. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.040 I can't help out you interpret information. Do you ever 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.160 do you ever get like, do you ever get hate mail? Obviously, 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:32.040 I'm sure you get like girls throwing themselves at you, buddy, 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:34.720 But what about hate mail? More like dudes like hating 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.760 on you. Occasionally, there's always a hater out there somewhere, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.520 you know what I mean, girl through their stuff at 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.360 you something. Yeah, yeah, there's always something weird. You know, 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.040 There's always gonna be one, you know, give us a story, 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.360 give us a story. You have a story, Well, it 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.560 could be anything. It could be like, you know, you 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.360 got a family member dying and everybody's reaching out saying, 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.440 you know, feel bad for you. And there's always one dude, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.559 he's out there. It's like, yo, man, should have happened sooner, 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:06.440 you know what I mean? That one dude, I've got 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:11.920 crist right field heat for no reason. You're like, what exactly? 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.640 There's always gonna be one and and uh, you know, 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.199 whether whether that's karma or what, you know, I gotta 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.480 take it. You gotta take the bad with the good, 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.079 you know what I mean. And uh, there's been enough, 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.679 there's been enough blessings with the success that I'll take 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:29.480 some of the burdens here and there. It's not it's 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.920 not that big. There's no perfect life. My mom used 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:33.600 to say, people are gonna find a reason to hate 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:35.600 you for something, So just like what you like and 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.760 don't don't worry about that. I had a guy though 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.800 in the jiu jitsu mats who's straight up said like, hey, man, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.080 do you want to roll? And I was looking at him. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.440 I was like yeah, but it was like he was 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.680 and he was gassed up to yeah. I'm not gonna 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.120 say his dave because he plays football. Um, but we 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.120 sit down and before we even go, we're just kind 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:57.400 of like shaking hands and he goes, man, I really 0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.400 hated you back in the day man, I was just 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.200 like and that, right, but he was he was a 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.400 white belt. He was there to like learn techniques that 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:07.559 he could apply in the NFL. And I was already 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.600 a blue belt with a couple one or two stripes 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.520 back then, and so I wasn't that worried. But his 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:17.400 arms were as big as my waist, Like he was huge, right, 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.400 And so the guy who ranto place was like, hey, 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.480 you need to show him leverage and how to apply that. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.800 So we're rolling and for the first minute, I'm just 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.440 laying there lazy, and I'm just hoping his big muscles 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.199 get tired. And so I'm sitting there, sitting there. He's 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:31.839 trying to tap me out, but he doesn't really know 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.880 any submissions. He's just trying to muscle everything. And I 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.320 shrimp out every time he leaves an opening or fill 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:38.839 the space when he leaves it with an arm that 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.120 I can kind of hook over a bicep something like that. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.520 But he's a monster, Like anywhere he wants to put me, 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.760 he can put me. Eventually, he starts to get a 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:47.960 little tired and I shrimp out and I take his 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.000 back and I choke him out, and he tapped he taps. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.000 He taps the mat like a pro wrestler, like not 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.480 the jiu jitsu guy like you're supposed to because he's 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.120 never done it. And I only squeezed a little bit right, 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.240 and he he tapped early, so we doubt he's mad. Dude. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.400 He just goes in the corner and he's fumeing just 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.360 and he's gassed out too. He's breathing hard just like that. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.240 I was like, hey, man, the first day is the 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:12.320 worst day of They did this to me. And I 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.079 told him this, like this philosophy that Henner Gracie taught 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:20.360 to me and uh. And the first day I tried 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.760 to roll with him and muscle up and I said 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.360 how much do you bench press? And he goes brought 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.960 a bench press four pounds and I was like, yeah, man, 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.080 I go how much does your belt wig? And he 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.360 goes out, what like a pound? I go, yeah, bench 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.599 pressed up for me. And he grabs his belt and 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.160 he's like, what do you mean? I was like, just 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.320 bench press up, bench press it up. He goes, I 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.720 can't go, well, why he goes it's connected to me? 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.640 And then I kind of just looked at him and 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:46.760 waited and He's like, Oh, don't even do that. I'm 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.160 just telling you what I was told. I'm connected to 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.800 you and you can't get me off. And martial arts 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:56.000 always kind of helped me be humble and and and 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.400 accept kind of everything coming at you because martial arts 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.000 always gave you options, and it taught you patients, and 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.720 it taught you discipline, and so that was sort of 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.360 my approach. That's my approach to everything, to be honest, Like, 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.080 both my kids are involved in it. I still trained 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.640 today as much as my year old body will let me. 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:16.559 I already I need another surgery already. It's ridiculous. But 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.840 uh but yeah, man, So I really try to bring 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.880 that into to my family life. My wife was a 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.560 badass taekwondo girl kicking vampires butts on Buffy back in 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.800 the day, so she respects the R two. And I 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.160 was just blessed to be here in southern California where 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:32.920 in the eighties the karate kid came out, and every 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.080 martial artist in the world that wanted to make money 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.679 was like, yeah, I'm moving there, and they did, and 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.920 we got spoiled because of it, you know. But there's 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.680 it's hard to find a bad school out here. So 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.720 did you take that with you? Did you? Did you 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.319 tell the football player when you were done that he 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.959 just got by a teen idol? No? I I did 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:54.880 say this. We were in the locker room later and 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.079 there were two other football players and they're this big, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.600 huge black dude is big, huge white dude was like 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.720 six eight and uh, he wasn't even pro yet. He 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:04.600 was college getting ready to go. I didn't even know. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.200 I was like, what, bro, Like, you look like you're 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.760 about to retire your humus. But he said something like 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:12.559 if this was a you know, but if this was 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.280 a fight, you know, he'd have got knocked out. I 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:15.880 was like, yeah, but you have to tell everyone you 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.360 got tapped out by the dude from Scooby Doo and 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.800 his friends were like oh. I was like looking at him, like, 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.920 you gotta take that with you, bro. It's such a 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.120 beautiful art format. It's such a My mom is ah, 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.960 my mom took up karate I think when she was 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.599 like in her fifties. Um, and she's my mom's a 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:39.160 third degree black belt. Hell yeah, what did she train? Uh? What? 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.400 I want to say? What? Okay? So she's going up 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.840 with obscure martial arts. I don't know exactly the there's 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.600 so many different modalities in it. But um, she tried 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.560 out for the women's Canadian national team when she was 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.400 and she in. She placed fifth and the two girls 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.800 that made the national team were so Yeah, my mom 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.400 is a badass. So we mess around in the kitchen. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.679 I try and choke her out in the kitchen a mom. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:13.360 Mom is so slippery. That's moms and single mothers. Yeah, 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.320 I love it. Man. My mom had to She had 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.320 to learn how to fight just to hang with with 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.520 me because it was just her and me in the house. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.200 So she she had to hold mits when I was 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.800 doing moti, you have to hold the leg. That's why 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:31.200 she drank. That's awesome, dude. Well, I got a question 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:33.640 for you guys because it's the new year. It's the 0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:35.480 new year. I want to roll into this. What is 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:40.840 what is something that you guys are most excited about 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:46.240 in the new year individually? Something that really weird? Man, 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.400 I want to hear weird that the listeners weren't weird. Alright, 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.800 this is I hope it connects to people I like, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:58.280 I like helping out kids. I'll start it with that, alright. Um, 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.280 I started a game channel where we play a lot 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:04.360 of board games, tabletop games, rpg like Dungeons and Dragons 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.120 and stuff, because I love video games. But board games 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.320 always had accountability because you if you did something, your 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.640 friend was right there. If you stole money and monopoly 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:17.400 and they caught you like that, rap always always cheated. 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.920 I would I cheat every time. I don't think I've 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.120 played a game straight in my life whatever, but that 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:29.800 accountability always made it more real, right. So I started 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.560 this channel and we had a lot of success on 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:35.240 Twitch and YouTube playing RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons. But 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:36.960 this one happened to me in the Star Wars world, 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.040 and I found this group of kids in Santa Monica 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.720 that are all home schooled kids, and this mom to 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.320 sort of get them to interact with each other because 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.840 they don't get that opportunity at school, she created this 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:55.440 like Dungeons and Dragons League for kids. But the game 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.680 master or dungeon master has a major, has a master's degree, 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.920 and his street So instead of playing Dungeons and Dragons 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.840 with trolls and elves and humans, he puts them in 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.760 real moments in history and then applies the rules of 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.600 d and d so he took him into the Boston 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.520 tea party. Yeah, and they got to be a part 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.480 of that. We're gonna take him to the Alamo and 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.800 maybe we hold it this time and all these great 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.000 moments in history that we can redo. So we're getting 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:26.360 ready to cast it and put it together and shoot it. 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.400 And I really want to showcase that for family it's 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.600 gonna be family friendly content. We have stuff that's not 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.000 family friendly where we're all grown ups cussing at each 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.840 other over a dumb game, but it's awesome does But 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.440 this one is gonna be way family friendly. I've seen 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.680 these kids play games, this one group, these four girls, 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.520 they're they're all postpubescent and the boys in the middle 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.600 of puberty, and they just run this dude. I mean 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.440 they run him ragged, like he knows what marriages like 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.640 five times over and he's and he's twelve, and he's twelve. 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:03.120 The amount of heat and nagging that he takes before, during, 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.719 and after every decision he makes is like Al Bundy. 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.080 It would make out Bundy Wheat. This kid isn't He's 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.760 a legend. If he ever gets married, it's gonna last forever. 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:24.080 I'm sure he won't. But God, this kid, Bro, I'm 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:25.840 telling you, you've ever been you've never been a friends 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:27.520 with somebody. So you had a twelve year old dude 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.159 who knows what being married five times and sailing is 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.000 like this legend. I'm not gonna say his name as 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:36.680 a kid, but he's a legend. What's what's something real quick? 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:38.400 We gotta go to break here quickly? What's something that's 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.119 got you really excited in the new year? For me? 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.720 Just cutting a record? Um, I'm about finally pretty much 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.280 done writing it. So now this year will be the 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.560 record making process and hopefully that'll be done sooner than later. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.800 Can you tease us anything about that record? No way? Well? 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.400 How long? Like how long was the writing process? For man? 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:01.399 The writing process is always my whole life, you know, 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.760 And so, um, it's been a it's been a few 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.639 years now, so I'm already three years off my last 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.600 record cycle. Um. But I'm never in a hurry, which 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.120 is a big problem in some ways. I just rather 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:17.439 when I'm done, haven't actually be done, then feel like, 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.399 oh I shouldn't put it out. I should have finished 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.119 that tune and I should have finished that bridge, should 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:26.720 have written a better intro to yourself. Yeah, man to 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.840 do all the time. It's a lot harder man show 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.040 business right, and business is the bigger word exactly. So 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:37.040 that's a tough appreciate that I heard chapters on the radio. 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.080 Really thank you for that. I took a picture and 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.359 send it to did you get my we thank you 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:47.199 for that. I think millennials do, or they take a 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.000 picture of the you know, the radio and then they 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.439 be it felt good, fel it felt good getting that 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.600 from you. And it's a you know, the record I'm 0:18:57.600 --> 0:19:00.679 making is further you know, that direction, further towards the 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.639 country record type of thing. But but even even further 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:07.399 further more like a Bob Seeger meets uh Tom Petty 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.480 meets to John Mellencamp kind of record. So really really 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.960 like a nineteen seventies songwriter rock record, which is essentially 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.400 what's really country music? Now, you know what I mean? 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.240 It's head in that more that direction. You know, we'll 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.920 say our big announcement. Now. I was going to wait 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:28.600 till the I was that that would be what we 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:34.040 call an immaculate conception. What is this big? I haven't 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:38.600 been like doing that lately. What's going on that quiet. 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:41.760 So well, I'll tell you all that stuff later. But 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:47.840 so on January is the Podcast Award, of which we 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:57.840 are not nominated for. One yes announcement. Wow, I can't 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.760 believe that Brooks will be on stage age with Rick, 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:11.560 Ryan and Dmitri introducing a performance wonderful boy. Further to that, secretly, 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.920 I've also been learning all his songs and dance moves 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:18.240 and all that in case he invites me out on stage. 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.639 I've been learning how to play hockey and the roller 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:26.919 blades are gonna perform on skates. Yeah, you get to 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.359 push me down the stairs. That's right. And on that note, 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:32.480 take a break because we've got big stuff. Yeah, we 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.399 got some big stuff coming. We asked, We asked our 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.760 listeners what were some of the things that you wanted 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.639 us to address the most in so we have a 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.720 list of five. We have a big list. But uh, 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:46.040 some of our main topics are anxiety, money management, work, 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:50.399 life balance, stress, and uh, diet and so we're going 0:20:50.440 --> 0:21:01.439 to get into some of this after this break. I'm 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:04.240 a little bit disappointed because I don't know if it's 0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.480 just me, but I always thought Tony was going to 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:08.960 be a lot more futuristic than it turned out to be. Yeah, 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.520 Hollywood sold you a false bill of goods on that crap. 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.640 Ye're flying cars and a Barbara, but that was Jetson's 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:19.120 is a lie. I'm disappointed. You don't you don't think 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.879 you deserve a robot Rosie that cooks and talk smack 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.119 to you. At the same time, she was like the 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.560 maid from the Jefferson's but with rust and we don't 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.280
