Like I fel I'm a 145 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: ship out at ocean, ben and whichever way the wind 146 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 4: blows me, I just kind of sail towards it and 147 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 4: see where it goes. Like That's been my main focus, 148 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: like you said, was the shallow oceans. That's been a 149 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: big proponent of mine because I've noticed so many people 150 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 4: just haven't had just really succinct, honest opinion about just 151 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 4: themselves and having an open conversation. That's why I love 152 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 4: what I do so much with it because every time 153 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 4: I sit down, Ben, I know this is polar opposite 154 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: of yourself. I'll sit down with one idea, but I 155 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 4: have nothing written down, nothing planned, and no personal idea 156 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 4: of where the conversation will go, and I'll rift for 157 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 4: thirty forty minutes and just see where it evolves. It's 158 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 4: been amazing. 159 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 160 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: So what I do is I have a lot of notes, yeah, 161 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 3: and then and then which a lot of it, A 162 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 3: lot of it I will not even use, but I'll do. 163 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: I like to know that if I have, you know, 164 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: if I have a brain fart, I got something, yes, 165 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 3: but but oftentimes it's a complete waste of my time. 166 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: My life would be so much easier if I was 167 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: not built this way. But I learned under Lee Hacksaw 168 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: Hamilton in San Diego and Lee Lee would do these 169 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: amazing monologues every night at the beginning of his show, 170 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: each hour, and he would spend all day preparing. So 171 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: that's that's kind of one of the mentors, right. But then, 172 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: but I also learned from Tony Bruno, and I love Tony. 173 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: I was on his show at the Super Bowl in Vegas. 174 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 3: There he had me on for a couple of segments. 175 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: But but Tony did things differently. He would he would 176 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: have one page and he'd just have a bunch of 177 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 3: chicken scratch of what he wanted to do for the show, 178 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: and that was fine. 179 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: And so I've kind of morphed both those. 180 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: Things where I've got a little bit of Hacksaw, a 181 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: little bit of Tony Bruno. And then another one of 182 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: the people that was I was around early Joe McDonald 183 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: who was talked to host in Los Angeles, and I 184 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: kind of. 185 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: Learned learned from him. 186 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 3: So it's a little bit of those it's my own thing. 187 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't a podcast maybe, but I don't 188 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: know a radio show. I'm I'm going in there and 189 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: I'm I'm putting my time in. I got put my 190 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: time in. 191 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just kind of the way it is. 192 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 4: I like that though, Ben, because I think that's why 193 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 4: this has been so fun for me, is I feel 194 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 4: like we try to plan so much right and have 195 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 4: so much priorities based on what we want to say. 196 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: As you said, just preparation in case you do have 197 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: a brain fart, so you know how to catch yourself 198 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: and everything. I think like, that's why my focus has 199 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 4: been so fun with it is I wanted to see 200 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 4: exactly where I would go with nothing there to catch me. 201 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 4: It's almost like thinking of it as like you're jumping 202 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 4: out of a plane and you're going skydiving. You're like, well, 203 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 4: I think I hope there's a parachute in the back 204 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 4: of me. I just grabbed it back back and jumped, 205 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: so let's see how this ends out. And it's kind 206 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 4: of cool because every time, not only do I land safely, 207 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 4: but I look up and I'm like, man, that was 208 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 4: actually a more enjoyable experience than last time. And it 209 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: just seems to be so organic. It makes it sound 210 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: like it's natural, like a conversation. That's why I love it. 211 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, And like if I'm working with someone who I 212 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: trust that I know will be prepared, like it's not 213 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 3: as big a deal like I worked with Looney for 214 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 3: years on Sunday, and I knew Looney would would bring 215 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: it like you know, he and we would play off 216 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: each other, which is one of the reasons that the 217 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: TV show worked this year is and one of the 218 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: reasons I wanted Looney for the for the show. When 219 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: they asked me, I give them a list of people 220 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 3: that I wanted to do the show with and Looney 221 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: was was near the top there because I've worked with 222 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: him a long time. 223 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: But working with Tom, it's like I can go in there. 224 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: And plus the other thing, we did a football show, 225 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: and you can't really prepare for a show where you're 226 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: reacting to. 227 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: What's going on because you don't know what's going to happen. 228 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 3: You can be prepared to kind of know what may happen, 229 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 3: but they still have to play the game. So with that, 230 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: it was just like a reality TV show where we 231 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: just kind of it's so. 232 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: Cool, you have bull crap throughout today. 233 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 3: And it was great because we'd have we've told these 234 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: stories before, but we've had people from the NFL on 235 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 3: Fox On and they were contractually obligated to come on, 236 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: and some of them were great and they love doing it, 237 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 3: and we're wonderful and just great, you know, sweet spirits 238 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: Kenny King's would say back in the day, But others 239 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: of them were total douches and didn't want to do it, 240 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: and it was it was quite interesting to juxtapus pose 241 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: easy for me to say the different the different agendas 242 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 3: that certain people had doing that.

So they have 315 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 4: this like weird mindset now where everything is affecting them, 316 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 4: but it's in factua He's like, no, no, no, you're you're 317 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 4: the one allowing it, So stop telling the world like 318 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 4: it's it's all this, it's all against me, all this. 319 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 4: It's like, no, no, no, you're allowing it.

It's like, at the same time that we've 323 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 4: always been, it's not you don't have to just victimize 324 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 4: yourself to be a part of something. We still love you, 325 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 4: and it just it's annoying to me. 326 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm right there with you. 327 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: That's the only reasons I wanted you on the podcast. 328 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 3: It's so society has been contaminated.

It kind of helps you get out 471 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 4: of like the whole thing we're talking about, like seasonal depression. 472 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: I just I haven't been outside in so long. It's like, dude, 473 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: just how about you just tell yourself you're bored. I mean, 474 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 4: we can be honest about it. 475 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I hear it. 476 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 3: So the Mob Museum just to finish the thoughts.
