22
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's start it off with a question from

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: Sam Snead. He says he's from Saint Louis. Salute loves

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: his show, John. Have you been able to find better

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 1: Chinese food than in Saint Louis. That's a real question.

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: And he also said, Uh, what high school did you

27
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: go to?

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: That's the question that everybody asked. I went to school

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: in Alabama though, so I didn't go to I didn't

30
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: have a high school question, but everybody asked that question.

31
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: I think it's more like a I think I think

32
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 3: he asked it just because that's everybody asked it. But

33
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: I think it started with like finding out where you

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: came from.

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: You know what, that's a small town. That's a big

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: town thing. If I'm in Paris and I run into

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: someone wearing a Long Beach shirt from Long Beach, I'm

38
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: from Long Beach.

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: Sure. His first question, guaranteed.

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: Is why schools you go to?

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: Do you feel you feel me there are wrong answers

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: to the question, right right, right, right, Polly is the

43
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: right answer, but my for so, but I think my

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: my family, uh is from the North Side, so they

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: live off of MLK and Grand in JVL so and

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: also I have family in U City as well. But

47
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: that's that's probably what he asking. But hell, no, I

48
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: know better Chinese food than in Saint Louis. We make

49
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 3: better Chinese food than China. And I ain't got to

50
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: go to China to find that out either. You know

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Ship, That shit is fire, bro, It's

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: a special type of Chinese food they don't even they make.

53
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: They make particular like dishes there that only you can

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: only find in Saint Louis, like the Saint Paul. You

55
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 3: can't go nowhere else you'll find that ship, you know

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. Like my mom when she she would

57
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: try to get you, what is it? What is it about?

58
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Because you've talked about this before? What is it about?

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: Many they got the right mix of MSG, you know

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: what I mean, They docked it up nicely. No, it's

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 3: I think what happened is a lot of people, you

62
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like, migrated to Saint Louis. Chinese

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: people did, and they made up their own version that

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: was you know, you know, kind of fit the people

65
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 3: that they were serving. You feel me, it's a lot

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: of the best ones in the hood, you know what

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And so it's it's a particular mix. It's

68
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: not the Americanized version of it because you can only

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: find it in Saint Louis, but it's the best version

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: I've had I've ever tasted by fall Bro. Yeah, all right.

71
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: The next question from Robert Greer. He's got he's a

72
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: first time emailer, longtime listener. Two questions. If you could

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: travel back in time and beat the shit out of someone,

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: who would you choose? He actually said three people, but

75
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: I think us picking nine people would take too long.

76
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: So if you could travel back in time and beat

77
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: up one person, who would be.

78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 4: Y'all gonna peel some some wounds on some stamps on

79
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: this because my answer is personal as fucking that would

80
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 4: be like my step and I've told y'all, like you know,

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying the situation with us, but

82
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: I'll just leave it at that man, that would be

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: my pick.

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: That's so funny because when I saw this question, I

85
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: was like, should I do a funny answer to that

86
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: or a serious answer to that question?

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 3: The serious answer.

88
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: To that is for sure, my dad, Bro, I never

89
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: got my issue off, like my friends stopped me from.

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: It was a day when I was probably gonna.

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Fuck the rest of my life up over some shit

92
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: he'd done to my little brother. My friend stopped me

93
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: from doing it. My twelfth grade English cleachers locked me

94
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: in the classroom because they told her what I was

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: about to do. And you know, I'm grateful that they

96
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: did it. But my dad needed he needs his ass

97
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: whooped by me one time, and then we can have

98
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: a and then we gotta have a conversation after that

99
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: that we also needed to have that we didn't have

100
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: a chance to have before he died. But that's that

101
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: would be my honest to guy answer to that question.

102
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: I'm right there with you, because.

103
00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 3: You forgive everything else, right you.

104
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: I mean, like I know, I gues say I'll go

105
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: back in time and beat up Hitler or whatever like

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: of course, you know, but Hitler's been dead for for.

107
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: You don't know that, nigga dog, You know what I'm saying,

108
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: Like you know what.

109
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying, everything else that happens in your life you

110
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: can forgive, except for the like one or two things

111
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: you can't forgive.

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: So that's that's my answer to Yeah.

113
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: And it's bro like I don't even have any enemies

114
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 4: or whatever the fuck you want to call that. Like

115
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: that is the one dude in my life who I

116
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,960

158
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: eighth grade that they almost didn't let us graduate from

159
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: middle school over oh No, it was a kid in

160
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: our in our orchestra class.

161
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 3: It was this kid. He we were eighth graders.

162
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: He was like a seventh grade or something, and it

163
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: was you know, he was just like a real hyper

164
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: annoying kid. I'm sure he'd have been diagnosed and over

165
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: medicated with some ship if he was in the current

166
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: generation of kids. But this dude was like this was

167
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: like two weeks before school before we graduated, before school

168
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: got out. This kid had a black sharpie and he

169
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: was going around drawing on girls' hair. He was like

170
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: walking around behind the roads like drawn on a block,

171
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: was drawing on like, you.

172
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: Know, the girl's uniform shirts and ship like that.

173
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: And we uh me had an older brother. He was

174
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: going through some shit in middle school, like I was

175
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: going through some shit in middle school. We took him

176
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: in the instrument room at the orchestra and we tied

177
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,679
Speaker 1: him to a chair. We duct taped him to a chair.

178
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: The chair some Tarantino shiit bro we was we talked

179
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: about and then he immediately snitched obviously.

180
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: Who cut him loose from the teacher.

181
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: We left him in their dog.

182
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 5: That was where we awl We always tweetd We left

183
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 5: that was a federal crime. Nigga, y'all went to prison, right,

184
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 5: so they didn't want to let us graduate.

185
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 1: And my mom would always like my mom still behind

186
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: me on some ship because she knew where, she knew

187
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: what I was going through, what our family's going through

188
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: and everything, and she was on some like, Hey, he

189
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: might have handled it the wrong way. I acknowledged that,

190
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: but he's trying to protect the girls in your class

191
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: because your school wasn't protecting the girls in your class.

192
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: You know, like he's all hopped up on being a

193
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: thirteen year old dumb fuck, like, but you know he

194
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have. He wouldn't have, just like he's never hustled

195
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: anyone into the back room to beat him up before, right.

196
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: Like the weird thing about going through shit, like you're

197
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 3: like when I was when I was getting fights. I'll

00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 3: That's you know, you're taking another ship out on these

00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: saw as people I was supposed to protect, because the

212
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: people who are supposed to protect my brother and me

213
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: weren't treating us the way we thought. You know what

214
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean, You're beating up the idea of someone this

215
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: dumb ass kid who's just being an idiot because he's

216

00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: You getting your issue on a dude that's getting his issue,

218

00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: that that's time period is anyway somebody's getting therapy, even

220
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: if like starting in middle school, just because Nigga, they're

00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: trying to.

222
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,400

224
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,880

225
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: sixty minutes to walk out of this room without saying

226
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: a word.

227
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to. You just gonna have to do

228
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 3: that every two weeks. Hey man, maybe hopefully she will

229
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: figure something out, you know. Yeah, And you know when

230
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: at a time when he needed because of I was sessions.

231
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jackson, were you gonna say something that you

232
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: beat someone up in middle I was.

233
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 6: Just gonna say, do you tell us this story, because

234
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 6: you are the answer to the question for that guy.

235
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 6: If you could go back in time and beat up anyone,

236
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 6: it would be the guy you ducked into the chair.

237
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get. I'm gonna guess that kid had enough.

238
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: He probably had enough other ship going on, and I'm

239
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: probably not even in his top five, right.

240
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: But I didn't even like high school with him too.

241
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: No, man, he went to a different track, you know.

242
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: But but he but they made me apologize to him,

243
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: and I was like, even in that setting, I was like,

244
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: you understand you can't do that to girls though, right

245
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: Like it's like you got I was like, I'm going

246
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: through shit whatever, but like you got to figure something

247
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: out to take it out in a different way, like

248
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: go fight behind the fucking gym like everyone else. You

249
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, right right right right with willing combatants.

250
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: Okay.

251
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: The other question from from Robert Greer was do you

252
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: and the homies ever sit around and reminisce about when

253
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: you lost your virginity even at your big age.

254
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: That's a no for me, because that's a big no no, bro,

255
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 3: nah nah no.

256
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 4: Like I it was unspectacular as fuck, Like no one

257
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: needs to hear that story to begin with it.

258
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: It's just that, I mean, forty eight lifetimes ago for me,

259
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: dog like.

260
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 3: I didn't even get my issue because I didn't even

261
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: like I didn't know what to do to even you know,

262
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 3: get my issue. You feel me, it was like it

263
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: there's nothing to talk about. You feel me like it was.

264
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: It's like, lose your virginity was something you did to

265
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: try to feel grown, you know right right.

266
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: It wasn't sex. It was like you know, it didn't

267
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: it wasn't it didn't you It was a It wasn't

268
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 3: sex in the way sex is now, you know what

269
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: I mean, Like it was you just wanted to say

270
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: you did it, not because you were like, you know,

271
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,599
Speaker 3: really enthralled with the person you was with. You know

272
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like that's not that wasn't the case

273
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: for me at least, no, no, I want to forget it. Actually,

274
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: all right, there you go.

275
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: We got a question from a Andre Reddix, and we

276
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: actually a couple of people kind of ask questions similar

277
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: to this, but I'll read this one and we can

278
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: talk about it. He started a podcast. He said that

279
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: our show is the basically the inspiration behind why you

280
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: wanted to do that. So he's just looking for advice

281
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: for people starting out a podcast. I guess. I think

282
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: we got three or four people who emailed in a

283
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: question like that, and I'm curious for I've got some thoughts.

284
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm very curious though, for your Guys's just general advice

285
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: to someone maybe in their early twenties, early thirties whatever,

286
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: who's starting a podcast out.

287
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I always say, like, we never planned for

288
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 4: this shit to happen, like we did not. Me and

289
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: John did not set out though, you know, on our

290
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: first episode, like yeah, the plan is to get picked

291
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 4: up by a major podcasting network can monetize, Like that

292
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: was never the goal here, And then again it was

293
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 4: a whole different eraror right. We started in twenty fucking fifteen,

294
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 4: which is like three digital ages ago, you.

295
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.

296
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 4: But but I mean, the only advice I can give is, bro,

297
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: do it with the homies and have fun with the ship.

298
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: Like that's the only advice that I can give because

299
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 4: that you know, where I can say you can try

300
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: to like replicate what we did or whatever the fuck,

301
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 4: but just have fun with the homies, bro, you know,

302
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 4: and and if the bad comes, the bad comes.

303
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: That's how we played it.

304
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 3: I mean, we started with like you know, Apple iPod,

305
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: you know, headphones, and you know, like it was the

306
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: audio was trash. I wouldn't advise you to do that

307
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: now because people probably gonna sit through it. Back then,

308
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: you know, you know, it wasn't as you know, there

309
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: wasn't as many ways to get quality audio, if at

310
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: least for us, you know what I'm saying, so damn

311
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: well saying that makes me feel like I was born

312
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: in nineteen fifty four. But anyway, Jack in the back

313
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: in our days, like he oh there, yeah, you do

314
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: something old as hell, my boy. But U But also yeah,

315
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: just like you know, do it with people that you

316
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: would talk to even if it wasn't a podcast, you

317
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 3: know what I mean, And make sure to remain yourself, like,

318
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: don't try to really emulate anybody else. You know, people

319
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: will do that for you, They'll to compare you, you

320
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying regardless, But yeah, just try to

321
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: just try to remain yourself and doing people that you're

322
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 3: gonna enjoy that you would talk to, even off a

323
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: podcast outside of a podcast set.

324
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: So I think, and we do have a couple other

325
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: sort of serious like life advice questions. My advice to

326
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: people always is be honest with yourself and the people

327
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: you're working with about what your intentions are. If you're

328
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: starting a podcast, because you're like, man, that was dope

329
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: when they did the Beast Bracket. They got, you know,

330
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: so much engagement on social like I want that engagement.

331
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: If you're starting it for that kind of like external validation,

332
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: then you know, be honest about like, Okay, that's what

333
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: we're looking for, and then that might lead you to like,

334
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: then you need to go about it a different way

335
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: that might lead you to go, like, oh, this thing

336
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: my friends and I think are funny that I'm doing.

337
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: You need to show that to some people that aren't

338
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: your friends and find out if it's funny or not.

339
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: And if people don't fuck with the stuff you fuck

340
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: with then you need to be honest about that, like

341
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: John and Tyler, where you're like, this would be something

342
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: fun to do with my friends, and if it goes

343
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: somewhere cool, then just have fun with it, right like

344
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, like John was saying, just strip it down

345
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: and just make sure it's you don't feel like it's

346
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: a waste of time because it's something you'd be doing anyway.

347
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: Like John and Tyler, if you go listen to their

348
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: very first SoundCloud episodes, they're not podcasts if they're just

349
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: talking conversation for an hour.

350
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: The worst of Lot with introduction, we just wanted to

351
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: talk right right right? Would we would make the other

352
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: person do it if we did it the week before,

353
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: because that was the business part of it, the podcast

354
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: part of it was not comfortable, you know what I mean.

355
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: So so you know, that's what I think I would say.

356
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: If you're doing this to sort of record a moment

357
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: in time in your life with your friends, and you're

358
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: doing it for fun and yourselves, and then be honest

359
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: about that, because I'll be honest about this too. Tyler

360
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: and John had a very big social media reach when

361
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: they started their podcast, Like that's a that's a That's

362
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: part of why I wouldn't have heard of Jenkins and

363
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: Jones if my friend with thirty followers, you know what

364
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, like it like so they had that kind

365
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: of automatic built in that they were doing it for

366
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: themselves but with an audience. But that's very unique for

367
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: people who have big followings to like now to not

368
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: be thinking actively about how to monetize that shit. So

369
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: but but I think like in all enterprises, like, look

370
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: like we're all gonna die at the end of our lives.

371
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: You have x amount, you have a finite amount of

372
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: time on earth. So just honesty about what you're doing

373
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: and why you're doing it, I always think is the

374
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: best answer, and then your advice will kind of flow.

375
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: My advice to you flows from your honesty with yourself

376
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: about that why are you doing the podcast? And then

377
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: once you know why you're doing it and you're confident

378
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: in your answer, that will tell you what you're chasing.

379
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: If you're doing it for you and your friends, you

380
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: don't need to spend money trying to promote it. If

381
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: you're doing it because you want to build a following

382
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: and get to a point where you do sign with someone,

383
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: then it's going to depend on what kind of reach

384
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: you have right now, Like if you're trying to expand

385
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: your reach, you might have to invest money in doing

386
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: that or upgrade equipment or whatever, you know what I mean.

387
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: So also throughout the process, like you'll get good and

388
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: bad back, you know what I mean. I don't. I

389
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 3: don't take either of them personally, like good or bad.

390
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 3: Like obviously people say good things. I'm super fucking thankful,

391
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But I don't get super

392
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 3: high off of good things, you know what I mean.

393
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 3: And I don't get super which allows me when somebody

394
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: says something you know, negative, I don't get super low

395
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 3: off it, but I do, Like I think, like would

396
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: you say you used to not be as good at that?

397
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, yeah, I was younger, you know

398
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 3: what I mean, So I'd be like, you know, I mean,

399
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 3: but I've always been like fuck that nigga, you know

400
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So, Like I mean, so I might

401
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: be like, oh, that does a good point, but still

402
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: fuck them and then I move on, you know what

403
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like, but I would you know, Also, what

404
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: really helped me out with thug friends, and I know

405
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: thug friends was like such a joke and shit, but

406
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: like explaining that for Thug Thug Friends was like a

407
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: a spoof rap group me and the homies made and

408
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: the ship with super viral, Like he was on the

409
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: sores toss point. Oh, like she was a really trying

410
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: to sign us, bro. We was just joking, you feel me?

411
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: And uh Like people were like, like they didn't know

412
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: it was a joke. This is before this Tyler the

413
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: creator in them, you know what I mean, Like this

414
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: is you know, like people didn't know it's a joke.

415
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: They thought it was real, like and they thought like

416
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: this is where people were like hip hop is dead

417
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: and shit, you know, they thought we was killing the genre.

418
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 3: You feel me. We were just talking, having fun with

419
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 3: the homies, you know what I'm saying. And when it

420
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: went really really viral for that time period and people

421
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: was like, you know, didn't understand it initially and had

422
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 3: negative comments, and I just and I realized at that time,

423
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, like at first I was like, man,

424
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 3: why they tripping? You know what I'm saying. Then I realized, Oh,

425
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: it's just outside of our bubble, you know what I mean.

426
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 3: When it gets outside of the people that get you,

427
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: you're gonna get those comments. But that's a good thing.

428
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 3: That means, you know, like you don't like the comment necessarily,

429
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: but it's a good thing that it's reaching a demographic

430
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 3: that isn't familiar with you, you know what I'm saying,

431
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 3: And there's a lot of people that weren't familiar the

432
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: guy that understood it, or that maybe did understand initially

433
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: and then understood it and stayed so like, don't take

434
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 3: that shit personal. Look at it, don't take it personal,

435
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 3: and also look at it as like, Okay, it's outside

436
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 3: of my sarch, the my bubble that I exist within.

437
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 3: It is reached out. So it's you've done something that's

438
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 3: that's reached outside of your normal reach. And that's how

439
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: I take it.

440
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: When we first got on with the volume, there was

441
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: so many old white dudes who were responding to our clips.

442
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: And like what is this too many words?

443
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

444
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 4: Like like like, bro, you are a fifty six year

445
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: old white man from Montana, this ain't for you, tog,

446
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: but the old white homies in my tail to do

447
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 4: listen to us though.

448
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: But that was like all this different I'm tapping in,

449
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying so, yeah, so it's been

450
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 3: good and bad. So yeah, but like yeah, when you

451
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 3: start seeing that, that's not like, oh I'm fucked up

452
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 3: out here. It's like, oh, you probably did something that

453
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: reached unless you're getting you know, you know, unless like

454
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 3: the ratio is off. If you get ratio, you probably

455
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 3: need to reel it in and do some some you know,

456
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: some thinking about how you approach the ship.

457
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 4: But I have never checked like YouTube comments ever in

458
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 4: my motherfucking life, like for what, because for one, motherfuckers

459
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: will hit me enough, you know, directly hit me on

460
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 4: Twitter with with the hating shit if they got up

461
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 4: to say to me usually, so like I don't go

462
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 4: looking for it, you know what I'm saying.

463
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: If it finds me, it finds me. Oh fucking wiah.

464
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: I definitely working with y'all and the advice you guys

465
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: have given me about like like when I started recording

466
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: with you guys, I still had notifications on for all

467
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: my social media. You know, we because of the like

468
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: local journalism aspect of my job, We've always been fairly

469
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: plugged in with the feedback and commentary and stuff like that.

470
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: But what I've learned since working with you guys, is

471
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: there is a way to care about that and still

472
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: connect with people and talk to people without checking the

473
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 1: comments ever, or like you know, John said, getting up

474
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: and down.

475
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 3: But that was definitely a learned skill for me.

476
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: Like I, I probably was in my mid thirties before

477
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: I was really secure enough, Like I was probably ten

478
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: years into a successful sports career before I was comfortable

479
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: being like I'm gonna have a job, I'm gonna be

480
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: able to feed my kids and my wife, like I

481
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: don't need to be so because man, that was something

482
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: that actually my therapist helped me out a lot with.

483
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: She was like, your brain doesn't know the difference between

484
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: a YouTube comment and a saber tooth tiger. Like your

485
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: brain was designed, it evolved to look for danger and

486
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: try and neutralize the danger. And so you're turning this

487
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: like stress response system on these comments that ultimately don't

488
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: actually affect your life, you know what I mean. But

489
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,959
Speaker 1: your brain doesn't know that. Your brain doesn't know how

490
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: to go, Oh, that's a that's not a saber Tooth

491
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: tiger's YouTube comment.

492
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: So behind the doors, go go ahead, go ahead.

493
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 2: Yah, I was gonna say.

494
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 4: I also want to clarify that We're not at all

495
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: closed off to constructive criticism. There's been plenty of us

496
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 4: hit us up on Twitter or or or in you know,

497
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 4: in our email, like bro, y'all got this one wrong,

498
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: and we've hurt them out and put in Sometimes they've

499
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 4: been right. You'd be like, wow, okay, we had a

500
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 4: blond spot.

501
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 3: There right right, right right.

502
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 4: But the negative shit that just comes with no base

503
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 4: that other than trying to tear you down.

504
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: Fuck that type of right right, And if that people

505
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 3: talking to you in a way that they wouldn't talk

506
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 3: to you in person, just block them, bro, you know

507
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like you know, no way, you don't

508
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: have you don't you don't have to deal with that

509
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: type and like you know, it's like you were talking

510
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: with the Cebreto Attiger. Like my therapist talked about like

511
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 3: a bear behind the door. You know what I'm saying,

512
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: Like there's no bear behind the door, but you're operating

513
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: as if there's a bear behind the door because of

514
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: how we're made, you know what I'm saying, And so

515
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: like you open the door, there's no bear, and you

516
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: sometimes you just have to like you know, realize there's

517
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: no bear behind that fucking door. You know what I mean, Like,

518
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: don't allow that shit to get you all robbed the

519
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 3: fuck up?

520
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: Man, all right, we got a question from Dande from

521
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: Nola says up, babe, you gotta keep it Nola, baby baby,

522
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,719

00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,160

525
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: about the podcast because I find it awkward, but thank you.

526
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: Everyone says such nice things and people talking about the

527
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: podcasts helping them out in dark moments, Like, we genuinely

528
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: appreciate all those comments more than I can tell you.

529
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: So just because I'm not reading it, like, trust me,

530
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: we read it, We appreciate it. I just don't want

531
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: this podcast to be thirty minutes of me saying that

532
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: our listeners like us. So Dan's question, this is a

533
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: great question. Who had so far the lie of the

534
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenties and here's his nominees, Donald Trump saying he

535
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: was two hundred and fifteen pounds LSU saying Odell Beckham

536
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: was handing out fake money after the National championship. Patrick

537
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: Beverley saying during his time with the Clippers, they turned

538
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: the city from a Laker city into a Clipper City

539
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: Mike Tarico saying he grew up thinking he was Italian.

540
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: For the record, I do not think that's a lie.

541
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: And the last one.

542
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: Is that person who said French food was better than

543
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: American food on Twitter? Or is it one not listed?

544
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: These are great lies. These are all lie of the

545
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: decade caliber lies.

546
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

547
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: And the whole thing about Mike Trico is I think

548
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: he really did move through life like he was Italian, right.

549
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 2: I think he lived that life.

550
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,239
Speaker 4: He was lying to himself, but to himself, you know,

551
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 4: to the point where he lived his life in a

552
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 4: way that he moved like he was fully of Italian.

553
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: Because let me say this, if he was lying consciously,

554
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: he would have known how bad of a liar was,

555
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's only because he wasn't

556
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: aware of that that he would be comfortable saying that

557
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: to a reporter.

558
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 3: He believed the fuck out of the lie he told himself.

559
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 3: It's like Costanza, you know what I mean. The way

560
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: to tell a lie company is to believe it. You

561
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 3: gotta believe it first, and you went a little too

562
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 3: far with it.

563
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: All right, Lie of the Decade, what's your vote? Tyler?

564
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: Run me down the list again.

565
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: It was Trump being two fifteen LSU saying Odell Beckham

566
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: was handing out fake money, Pat bev saying he helps

567
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: turn LA from a Lakers city into a Clipper city.

568
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: And the person on Twitter who said French food was

569
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: better than American food.

570
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 4: Oh, it's I might go with Pat Beth here, bro, Like, no,

571
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 4: the LA will never be a Clipper city. It's just

572
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 4: like the Lakers are one of those iconic teams. Like

573
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: there's a holy trinity of sports scenes in America and

574
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 4: it's the Lakers, the Cowboys, and the Yankees, right, Like,

575
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 4: the LA will never be a fucking Clippers town ever.

576
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 3: Man, No, I think it's Odell man just because it

577
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: was fine, you know what I mean. Like, like we

578
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 3: saw him passing the bread out. Lie, you know what

579
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: I mean. There is video footage he was passing off

580
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: fake buddy. Let's just tell a whopper of a fucking

581
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 3: lie here, you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm gonna

Speaker 3: go fun to me.

583

Speaker 1: I'm mister prisoner of the moment always when it comes

584
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: to ship like this, I'm gonna go with Donald Trump's

585
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifteen pounds. You know who's listed at

586
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:40,600

00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, were you saying something?

591
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,800

00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: is for John specifically, but I would love everyone's input.

597
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: My wife and I college sweethearts together for ten years now,

00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Chris from Oakland and his wife just had their first

602
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: first of all, I love being together for ten years

603
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: before having your first child. My wife and I were

604
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: together for that long. We were trying to have a

605
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: kid towards the end of it. But I do feel

606
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 1: like a lot of things about raising kids is easier

607
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: for us because we know each other super well. But anyway,

608
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: he said, they just had their first child, who'll be

609
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: three weeks old on Thursday, and they got a newborn. Congratulations.

610
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: His question is about how he has email. That's crazy.

611
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: That's a crazy point. Our next door neighbors, the the

612
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: women who live next door to us, just had their baby.

613
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: He's three weeks old too, and we saw our neighbor

614
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: Gabby outside she was taking the baby for a walk

615
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: yesterday and I was like, I.

616
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 3: Remember that feeling. She looks like she dragging her feet

617
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: behind her, and You're like, you know what I mean.

618
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 3: He just trying to make it through the day. Doll

621
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: All right? So Chris has His question is about how

622
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: we should approach our weed now that we're parents. We

623
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: were some smoking ass people before our kid, but I

624
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: feel like our relationship to weed should change now. I

625
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: still think I'll get high pretty regularly, but I also

626
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: have enjoyed being super clear headed and enjoying sober moments.

627
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 3: With the baby.

628
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: So I guess i'd just like to hear how having

629
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: a baby changed your consumption and if you have any

630
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: tips for being a responsible parent who smokes. I love

631
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: this question. My friends have spent a considerable amount of

632
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: time figuring to answer that question. Now, John, what was

633
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: your answer?

634
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: I want to know as while y'all, I have smoked

635
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: maybe twice since last November. I haven't smoked a lot,

636
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: just for one some reason. I just stopped thinking about smoking,

637
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But I smoked like fucking

638
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: damn near daily probably, I mean last time Tyler came

639
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 3: before that, we smoked two joints out on the fucking deck,

640
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: like you feel me? But for me, and can I

641
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: ask you a question? I just know I just stopped

642
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 3: thinking about it. No, no, I just stopped thinking about it.

643
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: I just stopped thinking about it. I just one day

644
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 3: I just did. I used to think about Oh, after

645
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 3: I got done, I'd be amped to just smoke my

646
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 3: little joint after subming went down. You know what I'm saying.

647
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: I stopped thinking about it, so I don't smoke like

648
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: I used to. Like I think I smoked once or

649
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: twice since my last November. So crazy. But anyway, I

650
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: was smoking a lot prior to having me every day

651
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: pribely having sawn. Me and I smoked, you know, most

652
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 3: nights when she was first born. But yeah, for me,

653
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: it was like I never smoked, I never was high

654
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: around her, you know what I mean? This is just me,

655
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I know people that say

656
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: they really enjoyed being high her kids, And I think

657
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 3: when I was high, I could have been fine with it,

658
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 3: but I just didn't feel comfortable personally. These are the

659
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: personal things that I decided. And then on nights when

660
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: I was going to like we would swap where I

661
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 3: would have her certain nights and then rather would have

662
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: her certain nights. I wouldn't smoke cause I slept too

663
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: deep when I when she would sleep with me, and

664
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 3: I didn't want when she was younger, and I didn't

665
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: want to, you know, roll and her be there and

666
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: me be in a deep sleep, and you know so

667
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 3: But for me, it's like, you know, do with you

668
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: if you feel like you like being clear headed and

669
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: you want to change, I think you have to find

670
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: out how to do that for yourself. But for me,

671
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 3: it was like I waited to the night when it

672
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: was me and it was just me and Rotha, and

673
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: I'll get high, and you know, and and and I

674
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: would have all the energy and I'd be clear headed

675
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: enough to uh to to take to be you know,

676
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: one hundred percent there when Sawny was there. But uh yeah,

677
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 3: like my wife, she just completely stopped smoking though. She

678
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: just was like, I just don't feel comfortable smoking when

679
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: Sony is when like you know, when when somebody's around.

680
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: I just she just didn't feel comfortable with it. And

681
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: the only time we have smoked together was when we

682
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: had the night nanny and when we were out of

683
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 3: town for the one day when someone was saying with

684
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 3: their parents. So you know, it just depends on the person.

685
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: But I don't think do you think that as so

686
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: many gets older and as as you guys have more

687
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: sort of like physical independence from her, do you think

688
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: that that can you see that changing or do you Oh?

689
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure.

690
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: For so I think they think that's just kind of

691
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: like this season of life.

692
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, like I'm I'm this is yeah, this

693
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 3: is a time period, bro, Like I'm gonna be back

694
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 3: blowing down at some point. For sure. I love smoking

695
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 3: weed just for whatever reason. Like also, like in that

696
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: last year, she was like one, and one year olds

697
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: are very so much more engaged and like when they're

698
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: you know, like at one, like something some something switched

699
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: flip something switch flipped, you know what I mean, And

700
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: like she's just so much more engaged and I just

701
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: you know, I just my good. I just want to

702
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: be there, to be and be interactive with my daughter

703
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 3: as much as I can during these time periods, and

704
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: maybe subconsciously because when I think about it now, I

705
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: just don't see myself being as engaged with her high

706
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: and that's just me. There's some people that get high,

707
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: like Kirchs why he gets high and he does work.

708
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: Like I know a dude that would get high and

709
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: go study, you know what I mean, becoming a doctor.

710
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 3: He would get high studying to you know, for like

711
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: the mcat and shit, you don't feel me and he

712
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: was a great student. It just depends on how the

713
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: tree affects you, you know what I mean. If the

714
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 3: tree makes you a more social person and more engaged, bro,

715
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: it might be better, you know what I mean. For me,

716
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: it makes me more heady and more you know, you know,

717
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm you know, more easily distracted. And

718
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: that's not how I personally wanted to be around my daughter.

719
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: That's why I did smoke around her. But it just

720
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: made me I just I think just subconsciously. I just

721
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 3: probably decided to stop because of this time period and

722
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 3: when she's when she's like at the age or she's

723
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 3: going to her room and she's like playing by herself,

724
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: you know. For me, is like, hey, I want you

725
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 3: to cook dinner, but you know, like making a snack

726
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: for me and shit, But my gee, I got the homies.

727
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: I don't really need you to be around like that.

728
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: You feel me, I'll probably be blowing much more, but

729
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 3: for this time period, like she is like and also

730
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 3: she's a you know, been a been a daddy's girl

731
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: for like a chunk of that, you know what I mean.

732
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: It goes back and forth, but you know her to

733
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 3: be Dad that dad, that dad that you know, waking

734
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 3: up in the middle of the night, Dad Dad saying

735
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: my name and I'm halfway high, you know what I'm saying. Like,

736
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: I don't know. For me, I just I could do it.

737
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: But I don't think there's nothing wrong with it. It

738
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: depends on how you carry the tree, you know what

739
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: I mean, how it affects you. I didn't sound judging

740
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 3: it all, did I mean, that's the last thing I

741
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: want to judge it all.

742
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: And like I said, I have a lot of friends

743
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: that are also trying to figure out that question. Tyler

744
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: is someone I know who who you know will be

745
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: a dad. I'm curious and who smokes. I'm curious for

746
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: your thoughts and response to what John said.

747
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's something that every parent probably

748
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 4: has to try to figure out, because for me, you know,

749
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 4: weed is a distresser. It's an anxiety reliever, and I

750
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: imagine a more stressful anxiety and do sigmal But then

751
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 4: you know, being a new parent, right, But then again,

752
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 4: it also we makes me detached in a very calm

753
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 4: way from things, but it also kind of does my

754
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 4: reactive times responsive times, and you also need that with

755
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 4: a new born, you know what I'm saying. So that's

756
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: the double edged sword there. And of course I'm sure

757
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 4: there's concerns about the whole secondhand smoke thing as well,

758
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 4: having that around a baby too.

759
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: Now, you smoke it outside when I smoked only I

760
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: never smoked inside, not not one time.

761
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: Yeah so yeah, yeah, yeah, so you know that's what

762
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: I do.

763
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 4: And when when the weather's warm, like I smoke outside

764
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 4: when it's cold, and shit, I got like a little

765
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: smoke eliminating ash trade only smoke in one room in

766
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 4: the crib, and I use that. But but yeah, it's

767
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 4: like I said, it's it's just the whole, the whole

768
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 4: thing about Yeah, it's gonna be stressful and you need

769
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 4: to relieve that stress.

770
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: But then you still need your reactive time.

771
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 4: You need to be on point, and you know, we

772
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 4: kind of you know, eliminates that a bit.

773
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

774
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 4: I mean, it sounds like him and his wife, you know,

775
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 4: smoking together was a bonding for them, right right, Yeah,

776
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 4: that's point too exactly. So so so like I would

777
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 4: suggest shifts like Okay, you can get high tonight, you can't.

778
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 4: You know, you got to be on baby duty, you know,

779
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 4: sober mine and all that shit. But you know, like

780
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: I said, I know that that kind of takes away

781
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 4: the bonding experience that's there. And smoking together. You know,

782
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 4: it's a couple that that is a beautiful thing. It

783
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 4: is very much a bonding experience there. But but but

784
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 4: but yeah, like I said, you know, I don't have

785
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 4: the answers here, you know what I'm saying. I can't

786
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 4: tell you what I do. I can just tell you

787
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 4: the shit that I've considered while while thinking about this

788
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 4: can under myself.

789
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: You know.

790
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: I think one piece of advice I give to all

791
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: new parents is do keep in mind. And there's just

792
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: no way for you to understand the telescoping effect of

793
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: time when you have a three week old child, because

794
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: those three weeks feel like fifty years. But like, that's

795
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: not three weeks though, it's like two much three Yeah,

796
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: but it's like, but but it was three weeks. And

797
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: like I've got a ten year old and a seven

798
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: year old, and I would say I could not have

799
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: imagined when my kids were three weeks old who they

800
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: would be and what my life would have been like.

801
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: So do keep in mind if you and your lady

802
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: feel are feeling frustrations or feeling like you wish you

803
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: had more stuff, like it's a long journey, and the

804
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: way it is with a newborn is it's not even

805
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: John will tell you it's completely different when your kid

806
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: is six months old, nine months old, one year old.

807
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, so, But yeah, I do know, Like I said,

808
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who spent time thinking

809
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: about this. I like, as was referenced earlier, my dad

810
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: was a serious, severe alcoholic, and in preparation for not

811
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: being an alcoholic, when I had kids, I just never

812
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: drank or did he was addicted to all kind of drugs.

813
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: I never did any drugs either, like and so that's

814
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: where like I was. I wouldn't say fearful. I was

815
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: just very like aware of that stuff. So I just

816
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: out of that desire, stayed completely away from it. I

817
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: have friends who, I mean, it's just crazy because you're

818
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: you're also a lunatic when you have a three week old,

819
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: like your brain's not functioning correctly. I have friends who

820
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: switched to gummies and CBDs because they didn't want to

821
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: set an example around their kid of smoking, because they

822
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: were worried the kid would start smoking cigarettes and the

823
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: second smoke. Stuff like how to talk about it. It's

824
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: just like just I would validate whatever feelings you have

825
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: and understand that you know, the road is long, Like

826
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: I said.

827
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 3: Also, you need what you need. Yeah, never forget that,

828
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, you need what you need.

829
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: And in the first six.

830
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Months we had a kid, I had a routine of

831
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: like I would go drink a lemon lime gatorade on

832
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: the porch by myself and just have pure silence for

833
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: five minutes. But that five minutes. Was like if I

834
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: didn't have that. At one point, I was eating a plum, right,

835
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 1: just whatever.

836
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 3: Every every day I'd go.

837
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: Get one plum from the store and I would have

838
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: my quiet time eating the plum. If I didn't have

839
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: that plum, I don't know, I might have been the

840
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: fucking dad from the Shining I.

841
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 3: Really you know what I mean, I really don't know.

842
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 3: You lose yourself and like the fact that you need stuff,

843
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 3: and like when you first have a child, like you

844
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,959
Speaker 3: forget about you, which is like understandable.

845
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: You know, this is this pilot your body is making

846
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: you literally forget your needs to right.

847
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 3: And so like, you know, hey, if you need to

848
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 3: smoke tree, if that's something that like you know, try

849
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 3: to say, calms you down, or that's the little break

850
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 3: you need. Ever so often, pro I I advise you

851
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,479
Speaker 3: do that. I think you'd be better if there's something

852
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 3: you need. I think that was something I didn't need.

853
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 3: That's why I stopped, you know what I'm saying, and

854
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: and and I think at a point I didn't need it.

855
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 3: That's why I kept smoking for a while. You know,

856
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 3: I got to the point where I don't think I

857
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: needed Obviously, I wasn't you know, I didn't think about it.

858
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, so be gentle with yourself, man, like you know,

859
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: and and if you if you need a look to

860
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 3: smoke tree, you know what I'm saying to kind of

861
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: you know, get get your get you know, get settled,

862
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the day or whatever,

863
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: and get ready for the next one. Figure out a

864
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: way you can do that. You know what I mean that,

865
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, yeah, you need what you need.

866
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 3: Don't don't put that don't push that ship to the side, man.

867
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: All right, And we got to pick the pace up

868
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: a little bit on these because I want to get through.

869
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: We got some great, great ones that I want to

870
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: make sure pace up.

871
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 3: We gotta we got to pick it up. Maybe me

872
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 3: right this pace is untenable.

873
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 1: Go ahead, and said to me Jackson, I'm okay, this

874
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: is a very serious question. And the homie asked not

875
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 1: to include his name, so I will not do that.

876
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: But he says, do you guys have any advice on

877
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: communicating better with your spouse? I could kick that off first,

878
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: I would say this, listen, I know this show is

879
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: of significance of people, and I appreciate you reaching out

880
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: with this question. If you are to a point where

881
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: you are reaching out to us about this, my honest

882
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: suggestion to you is that you see if there's a

883
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: couple's therapists that you and your spouse are comfortable talking to.

884
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: Because my wife and I have been together since we're eighteen,

885
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: we are that's twenty one years now. It's been mostly

886
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: very good. There have been a couple rough patches and

887
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: times when it was hard for you know, we had

888
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: to kind of find our way back to communicating with

889
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: each other. And I would say we have a lot

890
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: of friends who therapy has been very helpful for. I

891
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: think people hear therapy or couples counseling and it's like

892
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: a big scary thing to them, But I know John's

893
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: had positive experiences with it. It all starts with communication

894
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 1: and being able to open it up. And I would

895
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 1: just say there is absolutely nothing wrong even if you've

896
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: been married for a long time, even if you've been

897
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: with the person, if that's your best friend, there's nothing

898
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: wrong with being in a period where it's just hard

899
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: to talk to them and you maybe need to. Don't

900
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: think of a couple of counseling as like, oh, we're crazy,

901
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: we need therapy. Like, I think that's the stigma I

902
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: had and a lot of other people had about it.

903
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: Just think of it as like, like you need to

904
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: learn how to drive together, and y'all don't know how

905
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: to drive, so you're gonna go see a teacher that

906
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: could teach you how to drive, right, Like you could

907
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: get you and your spouse into counseling and just get

908
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: some much better tools that I would be able to

909
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: give you about how to commune, unicate with each other

910
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: and everything else. So that, honestly, that's just my advice

911
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 1: off Rip is if you're at that point, like, go

912
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: all in man and try and get get some professional help.

913
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: And you know, if you have a way to do that,

914
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: if you can afford to do that, that's my suggestion.

915
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, you know, and this is something

916
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 4: that you know, Summer and I we kind of had

917
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 4: to work through when we first started down with each other.

918
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: Everyone comes into a relationship with baggage, bro, regardless of

919
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 4: what you think. If you think your baggage, for now

920
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 4: you got baggage. And the way that that usually affects

921
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 4: your your new relationship is you've kind of got your

922
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 4: guard up a bit right, like you you kind of

923
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 4: think that this person might not have your best intentions

924
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 4: in MII because you know you've been hurt in the past,

925
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 4: you know, in previous relationships or what have you.

926
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 2: I would say.

927
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 4: Something that you know helped me and my wife worked

928
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 4: through shit when we first started dating and when we

929
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 4: were button heads and still helps is that, you know,

930
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 4: we would just I would just constantly you know, tell bro,

931
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 4: we are not enemies, you know what I mean, Like,

932
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 4: if you're coming at me, if you're upset with something

933
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 4: I did, I promise you I did not do it spitefully.

934
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: I did not do it intentionally to hurt you, like

935
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 4: I didn't fucking know. Like, let's have a conversation and

936
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, you know, without the accusations,

937
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 4: because like I said, I'm not a spiteful person.

938
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: I'm not a malicious person.

939
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 4: And I'm going to give you the benefit of an

940
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: honor on that too, because I know you wouldn't do

941
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 4: anything to intentionally hurt me, right, So I think just

942
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 4: kind of having that foundation laid, you know, as corny

943
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 4: as the shit makes sound, y'all are teammates, not you know,

944
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 4: on opposite ends.

945
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 2: Of the thing.

946
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 4: But like I said, I think that just comes down

947
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,720
Speaker 4: to the baggage that a lot of people come into

948
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 4: relationships with.

949
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,720
Speaker 2: And like I said, everybody has baggage.

950
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 3: So for me, one thing that's helped you know me

951
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: in communication was what Tyler said too. I had a

952
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 3: moment at one point I'm like, whoa, you know, like, hey,

953
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 3: we're on the same team, and that changed my whole

954
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,760
Speaker 3: perception about things, you know what I'm saying. But also,

955
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 3: the problem is not rather, it's the situation and we

956
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 3: have to work together to solve it. So that's how

957
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 3: we're like, we're best when we're approaching things like that.

958
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 3: When we have differences. It's like, hey, you know, it's

959
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 3: the fact that we feel different about it. It's not

960
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 3: the issue. The issue is how to you know, better

961
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 3: navigate this. And so like now, like you know, when

962
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 3: we first went i mean, keep it a stack when

963
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: somebody was first born, rather move down here pregnant, you

964
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. We moved together a lot as

965
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 3: a lot of big changes. You know, we got married,

966
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 3: all that shit, you know what I mean. Like it

967
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: was it was rough, you know what I mean. But

968
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: like when we realize Hey, the other person is like

969
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 3: what Chyler said is not the enemy. The issue is

970
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 3: what we have to is to as we you know,

971
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 3: we we are working against you know what I mean.

972
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: That helped out a lot. But yeah, man, like what

973
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 3: like but what Mike said too, like therapy has helped

974
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 3: us kind of figure that out. And like so even

975
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 3: when we do argue, we don't argue the same way,

976
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like we don't like what

977
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 3: we were. We got better at arguing where like it's

978
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 3: you know, it's not you know, vitriol or you know,

979
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 3: extreme frustration any of that stuff, like you know what

980
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Like you know, it's it's more like, you know,

981
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: we're just discussed seeing how we get through something. And

982
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 3: there's times too where I'll be like, yo, I can't

983
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: talk about this anymore, you know what I'm saying, Like

984
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: I just can't discuss it anymore. Might have taken a

985
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 3: walk anyto that type of stuff, so that don't don't

986
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 3: you don't have to force yourself to just try to get

987
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 3: through things. You don't have that in you. Like, sometimes

988
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 3: it's best like take a little break and come back.

989
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, man, like there's just giving each other space

990
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 3: as well to be ourselves has helped out a ton

991
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 3: Like rather knows, I struggle with trying to figure out things,

992
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 3: and I have a I have I don't have as

993
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 3: much of a of a I don't have as much

994
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: patience with trying to figure stuff out sometimes after processing

995
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 3: myself and then come back, you know what I mean,

996
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 3: Like so like rather, okay, you can Okay, I got

997
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 3: you, you know, go take a walk, come back, We'll figure

998
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: this out together. So yeah, and it's also moving with compassion,

999
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like like when I'm looking

1000
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 3: at her, I'm realizing, even in frustration, this is somebody

1001
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 3: I love, you know what I mean, it's some I'm

1002
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 3: somebody she loves. So we've changed the way we approach

1003
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 3: stuff and it's helped out a ton man, where like

1004
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 3: you know, by the end of certain shit we'll be laughing,

1005
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like, and it's just changed

1006
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 3: the whole dynamic where we have disagreements and so but yeah, yeah,

1007
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 3: and also we do a practice. I'll say this, we

1008
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 3: do this last thing. I'll say, we do a gratitude

1009
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: practice every night, So regardless how to day went, at

1010
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 3: the end of the day, we talk about the things

1011
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 3: we're thankful for, and a lot of times it's like

1012
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 3: we have to say two things we were thankful for

1013
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 3: that each other and then something in general, and a

1014
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: lot of times like you know, maybe rather than feel

1015
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: as connected with me that day, and she's like, oh damn,

1016
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 3: I didn't notice you noticed that I didn't notice you. Yeah,

1017
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 3: I say, I appreciate the fuck out of that shit,

1018
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? So that allows us to

1019
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 3: get to know each other better and also understand that

1020
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 3: even in days we're not as you know, not as

1021
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 3: connected as others, you know what I'm saying, there's still

1022
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 3: a lot of appreciation in love there. Just because i'm

1023
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 3: you know, not you know, we disagree with something doesn't

1024
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 3: mean I don't love the fucking shit out of you,

1025
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:54,439
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

1026
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 2: And now y'all watch the do y'all watch the Bear

1027
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:58,759

00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what was saying.

1032
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Because there's a there's a thing they do

1033
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 4: when they're kitchen when when they're having an argument and

1034
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 4: they rub around their chests basically let you know, yeah,

1035
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 4: we're arguing. I'm yell at you, but I'm I'm not

1036
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 4: upset with you. Hope you're not upset with me. And

1037
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 4: when one person does that in the argument, the other

1038
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 4: person does it back, and ship's gucci after that. And

1039
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 4: I love that.

1040
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: We'll hold hands like you hold hands like I've like

1041
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 3: i've I've I've actually seen like me like touch like

1042
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 3: with rather's kind of like frustrated with something. Hold Rother's

1043
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 3: hand and see the ship melt off of her, like

1044
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 3: you can physically see the tension leave her body. Like

1045
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 3: she'll be like kind of like I'll hold her hand

1046
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 3: and she'll just be like and it'll turn into a smile,

1047
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 3: like you know what I mean. And so it's like, Babe,

1048
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: I understand you know, like you know this, this is

1049
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 3: we we we have a disagreement, but just feel this

1050
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 3: love you know what I mean. Touch you know, so

1051
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 3: we touch and I can physically see her calm down,

1052
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And so like that's one

1053
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 3: thing too, is when and also rather rather grew up

1054
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 3: Southern cal Indians an Indian woman. I grew up a

1055
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 3: country ass nigga and that is the the a great

1056
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: description for me. You know what I'm saying. That is

1057
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 3: who I am, and so the way we interact is

1058
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 3: very different, you know what I mean. So but one

1059
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 3: thing like that connects that, like that physical touch, you

1060
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 3: know what I mean. It's like, even if I'm talking

1061
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 3: in a particular way, I'm not huge words, she'd understand, like,

1062
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 3: what are you talking about? My nigga? You know what

1063
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Obviously, don't say that, but what do you

1064
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I don't even know what

1065
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: you're saying. You know what does that word mean? You

1066
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 3: know what I mean? But it comes from like when

1067
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 3: when we holding hands, when I can put when we're

1068
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: touching that hugging, we're like you know that that that changes,

1069
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: that changes that dynamic.

1070
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: And so yeah, man, all right, this has been a

1071
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: real serious life advice. The homie Josh Chapman is gonna

1072
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:58,240
Speaker 1: lighten it up a little bit. Question how many Johns

1073
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 1: would it take to defeat one ball?

1074
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 3: I don't want any commentary. I want a number. I

1075
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,759

Speaker 3: it is. You know what I mean, Tyler, how many Johns.

1078
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: Do you think you would need to beat one ball?

1079
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 2: Are you asking me ask a job? Because y'all ain't

Speaker 2: never give us a real dumbed nigga, I know you don't.

1081
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 3: Twelve.

1082
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll say about twelve, right because because we've

1083
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 4: seen in rodeos like you really only need like three,

1084
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 4: you know, rodeo clowns to really kind of you know, confinable.

1085
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 4: But yeah, if you get about you know, five or

1086
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 4: six more guys on top of that, you know you

1087
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 4: can probably you know, take them legs up out of

1088
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 4: under them and you know, get some get.

1089
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: Some real, some real blows in. Yeah, I'd say about ten.

1090
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was gonna say ten too,

1091
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: all right, thanks Josh okay uh Sky Sneaks is a

1092
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: longtime listener. He's a cheesus slice on Twitter. He says,

1093
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: since they've confirmed the existence of extraterrestials, I want to

1094
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: know how many aliens it would take to make you

1095
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: feel like you're in danger. For example, if you were

1096
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: walking out into your car and saw one alien standing

1097
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: by it, and now y'all are both just staring at

1098
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 1: each other confused, would it scare you or would you

1099
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: just I love people who are high when they roll

1100
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: question or would you just be like, damn, that's crazy

1101
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: and go on about your business. FYI, he's not aggressive,

1102
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: he's just chilling smoking at Newport.

1103
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 3: You know.

1104
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 4: I thought, you know, about like aliens, if they ever

1105
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 4: came here, there'll be so much shit that they would

1106
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 4: have to account for, right, Like there would be different

1107
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 4: atmospheric pressure here. Then they're planning it more than likely,

1108
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 4: you know, the whole fucking if if an alien isn't in

1109
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 4: a full body suit, like all you got to do

1110
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 4: is call on the motherfucking he'll probably die in like

1111
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 4: two or three days, you know what I'm saying, Like

1112
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,399
Speaker 4: they have no immunity to the disease and the shit

1113
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 4: that we have here. I think it would kind of like,

1114
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 4: I don't think I would be that scared if I

1115
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 4: really saw an alien, you know, just one on one,

1116
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 4: if I knew they came in peace. Of course, if

1117
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: I just saw one in the motherfucking parking lot on

1118
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 4: the late night, I'm shook as fuck and I'm all

1119
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 4: in ass. But you have to be you know, they

1120
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 4: fucking require me here that they're you know, coming in peace.

1121
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, you're about to die. You need to leave, bro.

1122
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you are. You are in a seven eleven

1123
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 3: parking lot.

1124
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: Do you know all the germs that are gold have

1125
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,280
Speaker 2: put an end to you and your entire space.

1126
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: Worried about that? You see me in the parking lot

1127
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 3: with alien No.

1128
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: One of my favorite forms of humor is when things

1129
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: that we are people who spend too much time on

1130
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: the Internet try and take something from the Internet to

1131
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: the real world and it doesn't respond well. Y'all have

1132
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: seen the tweet. One thing I can tell you, me

1133
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: and my friends would have beaten ET to death with hammers.

1134
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 2: That's one of the best slash worst tweets of all time.

1135
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 3: It's so good.

1136
00:49:58,719 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 2: That is so terrible.

1137
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: Someone someone tweeted, this is like one of his Shar's

1138
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: favorite tweets. Someone tweeted that he tried to take that

1139
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,439
Speaker 1: tweet to his like girlfriend. She was talking about ET

1140
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: and he referenced that tweet and she didn't know what

1141
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 1: he was talking about. And I think she responded, I

1142
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 1: don't love that.

1143
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 3: I think if the nigga was just chilling smoking a

1144
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 3: new Port, you know what I mean, I don't I

1145
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 3: don't think i'd be tweaking like that you feel me like.

1146
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what he looks like. Bro, if he

1147
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 1: has a forty tentacle, if you have forty tentacles.

1148
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 3: You'd be freaked out. I mean, it depends on the

1149
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 3: time of day. I don't. I just I just if

1150
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 3: the motherfucker is chilling, I'm so curious, bro, Like I

1151
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 3: told you all, like if I saw a ghost, if

1152
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 3: they didn't come aggressively, I'd probably want to sit down

1153
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 3: and talk to it, Like, YO, talk to me a

1154
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: little bit about what the fuck tom it is on

1155
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 3: that side of things. You feel me like, That's how

1156
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 3: I kind of feel, you know, But I don't know, man,

1157
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 3: Like I don't. I don't know, Like if it was chilling,

1158
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 3: I really I don't know if I'd be too tripping

1159
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: off of it. Also, like to spoke about the great

1160
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: field theory. Isn't that like if if animals are like

1161
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 3: the type of if as you get more intelligent, the

1162
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,959
Speaker 3: type that are super aggressive generally will kill themselves before

1163
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 3: they get to the point where they have the technology

1164
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 3: to be able to travel to this far, you know,

1165
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: building stuff that allows them to deal with this atmosphere.

1166
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 3: So the type of peacefullness that they would have to

1167
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, exists within to get through

1168
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: that great filter theory and make it all the way

1169
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 3: over here. Bro, they coming to try to fuck us up?

1170
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 3: You know what I mean. There's a YouTube video that

1171
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 3: talks about it too that I watched like six years

1172
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 3: ago as fire as fuck. But but yeah, but yeah,

1173
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 3: I just I've always felt like if they came here,

1174
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 3: if anything came here, it would come out of curiosity,

1175
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 3: not to dominate, you know, us or anything like that.

1176
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 1: So Okay, Maxwell Higgins, We're not gonna answer this because

1177
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: we basically gave our new pot advice. But he's I

1178
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,919
Speaker 1: just wanted to shatter my because he said he's he's

1179
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of starting a sports pod with his dad.

1180
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 3: And one second one I say this. I want to

1181
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 3: say this one thing. I think the reason I think

1182
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 3: we aliens are depicted as aggresive because we're aggressive. Yes,

1183
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I think that's a reflecting

1184
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 3: of humanity, not necessarily extraterrestrials.

1185
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 4: We have an example of us of humans being colonized

1186
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 4: is going to new Land and see how that turned out.

1187
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: Right here we are here, we all are for the

1188
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: various reasons we're all here exactly. Yea, but yeah, shout

1189
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: out to Maxwell Higgins's starting a sports podcast with his dad.

1190
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: We gave all the advice we had earlier, but that's

1191
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: just I think that's beautiful. He's starting a sports podcast.

1192
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 3: Fire. I send a link to that too. I want

1193
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 3: to tap in for you. Okay.

1194
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 1: Uh. John says, all right, this is serious when he said,

1195
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 1: I got laid off two years ago. I had to

1196
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: move back in with his folks a year ago, and

1197
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: he's struggling. He said, just got a rejection letter for

1198
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 1: an internship and it's stung. I'm trying to stay encouraged

1199
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: and persistent, but it's a motherfucker. Any advice and or

1200
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: jokes welcome, appreciate y'all. He says, only money notification feelster

1201
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: than new Jenkinson Jones, Yeah, man, you're going through it, bro,

1202
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 1: like we've all been in a tough spot around it.

1203
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: I would say, similar to my advice with the podcast

1204
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: is be honest about what you're looking for, Like, are

1205
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: you and I just don't know enough about your situation?

1206
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: Are you in that? Because you're trying to get into

1207
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: a tough field that's like your dream job, and if so,

1208
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: does that mean more to you than moving out and

1209
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: not living with your folks? You know, like, because if

1210
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: you're looking to just change that situation, then you know,

1211
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: you're just kind of it sounds a little to me

1212
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: like you're at a crossroads. And I was kind of

1213
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: in the same spot when my wife and I after

1214
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: we graduated college, we're living with my mom, and we

1215
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: just got to a point where it was like, we

1216
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 1: both have ideas about what we want to do with

1217
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: our lives, but we can't live with my mom no more. Like,

1218
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 1: so she started working at Borders and I started ghostwriting

1219
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: for Golden Times magazine, you know what I mean, pretending

1220
00:53:56,920 --> 00:54:00,080
Speaker 1: to be an eighty year old baby baby boomer. So

1221
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,720
Speaker 1: that's my advice is just if you're like I think

1222
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: if at a time in my life, I could have

1223
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: been very comfortable in this situation you're in where I'm like, oh,

1224
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: but I'm grinding for this specific opportunity or whatever, but

1225
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: I would just say, yeah, like, just be honest with

1226
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 1: yourself about what you're comfortable with and keep that short

1227
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: term and long term goal in mine and understand that

1228
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: sometimes they're they're different you know, sometimes they're different. Sometimes

1229
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: they get your long term goal. You got to be

1230
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: in a shitty situation short term.

1231
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, I mean the advice I would give

1232
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 4: to him, and it's not like something profound intellectual types

1233
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 4: of it's just keep grinding, bro, you know I can.

1234
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm unique in this situation. I'm not

1235
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 2: sure if y'all can attest it.

1236
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:46,359
Speaker 4: But every setback that I've ever had, like something better

1237
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 4: eventually came along, you know what I'm saying, like a

1238
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,479
Speaker 4: bigger bag, a better opportunity, whatever. And there's been times

1239
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm so glad that shit didn't work out

1240
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 4: with such and such because I'm here such and such now, right,

1241
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 4: so you know, like you know, we're we've done the

1242
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 4: whole broke twenty year twenty something year old dudes who

1243
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 4: got established in the thirties and all that, and so

1244
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 4: you know, we've been there, you know what I'm saying. So,

1245
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,839
Speaker 4: like I said, the advice I can give here, and

1246
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 4: like I said, it's not profound or anything, but bro,

1247
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 4: just keep grinding and you'll eventually get to a point

1248
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 4: where those nose don't hurt as much and you're just

1249
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 4: letting that shit fly. Just you know, just you know,

1250
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 4: out there grind and pursuing whatever you want to get to.

1251
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 4: And like I said, bro, just keep your head on

1252
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 4: the swivel. Just keep you know, you add to the grind,

1253
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 4: Just keep grinding, because like I said, you'll eventually get

1254
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 4: something and you'll be like, thank God that whatever I

1255
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 4: had fell through.

1256
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 2: So I got to this point in my life.

1257
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like in my life tall to talk

1258
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 3: about better. But I just know, for like, lows only

1259
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 3: last for so long. There's ups and downs in life

1260
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 3: I don't like. And part of it we were talked

1261
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 3: about earlier about people saying good and bad things. I

1262
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 3: don't get too high regardless because I know, you know,

1263
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 3: I know, out of the lows, I learn a ton.

1264
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 3: Doesn't feel good about it. No, I'll be smarter and

1265
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 3: more intelligent and better prepared, you know, for what comes next.

1266
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 3: You know, in a low and then you know the

1267
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 3: highs don't stay. So I just enjoy them for what

1268
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 3: they are, you know what I mean. So it's not

1269
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 3: a for everything, you know what I mean. I was

1270
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 3: broke for a long time and there was good and

1271
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 3: bad in that time period too as well. Before like

1272
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 3: moving out here to La and figuring it out, you

1273
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 3: know what I mean. But uh but yeah, man, like

1274
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 3: Tyler said, just just keep thugging it out, man, you know,

1275
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 3: I think like for me too, Like speaking to what

1276
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 3: Mike was saying, every job I've had outside of this

1277
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 3: one with the Homies has only been a job. No

1278
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 3: matter how much I built it up, how glamorous it was,

1279
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 3: in the end, it was just a fucking gig, you

1280
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 3: know what I mean. When I was struggling and like

1281
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 3: I you know, and making you know, Saint Louis, and

1282
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 3: like I want to do this for a living, you know,

1283
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 3: And I've done the things that I wanted to do,

1284
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 3: but when I got to it there to keep it up.

1285
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 3: Uck with you, they're just jobs, you know what I'm saying.

1286
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 3: So whatever you got to do to get out that house,

1287
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 3: maybe it's not the most glamorous thing. Maybe you working

1288
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 3: at ups my nigga. I'm telling you right now, if

1289
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 3: I needed to, I'll pull up a upa and do

1290
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 3: my fucking thing, not clock out at five o'clock and

1291
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 3: be cool, you know what I'm saying. So whatever you

1292
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 3: got to do to figure it out, man, you know,

1293
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 3: to make ends meeting until you can do what you want.

1294
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 3: Don't don't feel bad about that, gee, you know what

1295
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 3: I mean? You know so, and when it's time for

1296
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 3: shit to change, it'll change, my boy. You know what

1297
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm saying. This is only temporary, but regardless of you know,

1298
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 3: who's doing what and the shit you see, you know,

1299
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 3: like they all just jobs, bro, You know what I mean.

1300
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 3: This is the only job that I've ever clocked in

1301
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 3: for and it didn't feel like I'm clocking in and

1302
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 3: I've done some shit that people would deem is so fun.

1303
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 3: It's all clocking in, bro, you know what I mean.

1304
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 1: All Right, we only got a couple more here. Luke Papagayo.

1305
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: First of all, if you got a cousin of Long Beach,

1306
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: that's a homie.

1307
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 3: He says.

1308
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 1: He's twenty four, just graduated college. He's he said, he's

1309
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: basically kind of in a similar spot. He says, it's

1310
00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: tough keep my confidence up during the application process us

1311
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: looking for jobs because I'm not looking for a dream job.

1312
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get the hours I need to

1313
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: pay for the shit I need. Knew I wasn't chasing

1314
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 1: a passion project, but didn't think opportunity would be so

1315
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: tough to come up on. Feels like I've been tapping

1316
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: on the glass ceiling trying to get through since before

1317
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Any advice for making the most of an

1318
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: environment you feel has expired while not having the resources

1319
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: to change that environment, This is a real question, I

1320
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: would say, Luke, I've been I was in that situation,

1321
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: and I would say the first thing that's very hard

1322
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: for you to understand when you're in your early twenties

1323
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: is is very hard for everyone to get their first

1324
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: real job. And once you are tapping on a glass

1325
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: ceiling right now, like you are feeling that way correctly.

1326
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: And I always use the analogy of it's like trying

1327
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: to sneak into a castle, and every time someone sneaks

1328
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: into a castle, they plug that way up, So don't.

1329
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: My real advice is was working for your friends or

1330
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: what worked for us probably is not going to work.

1331
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: You need to basically get through the glass ceiling any

1332
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 1: way you can, and as honestly in pr is probably

1333
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: going to be taking a very shitty job. It's probably

1334
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: the answer to your question, you know, just like anything

1335
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 1: you can do to breach that all I would say

1336
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: is what you're going through right now is probably not

1337
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 1: going to be analogous to your experience looking for jobs

1338
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: going forward, because right now everyone's looking to hire someone

1339
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: that they know can hold a full time job down,

1340
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: and so you don't have that on the resume yet,

1341
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: and so it's just about if you have any I

1342
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: would say this if you're worried at all about nepotism

1343
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 1: or anything, if you have any connection to work to

1344
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: get your first job, you have a professor that fucked

1345
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: with you, someone in your family, someone in one of

1346
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: your friend's families, anything you can do to have there

1347
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: be something after college that's like, oh, he was in

1348
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: this job for six months is going to make getting

1349
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: every other job a thousand times easier. So that's my

1350
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:00,480
Speaker 1: on that.

1351
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, he's he's facing you know the

1352
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:04,439
Speaker 2: glass scene.

1353
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 4: Like he said that. Basically every new gradh faces like

1354
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 4: there's really no such thing as an entry level position.

1355
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 4: Those ships only exist in like theory, because every entry

1356
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 4: level position wants you to have like two or three

1357
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 4: years of experience, right and you're fresh out of college

1358
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 4: with no experience, So how the funck are you supposed

1359
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 4: to get an entry level position. If you don't have

1360
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 4: the experience to get an entry level position, when is

1361
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 4: she your level positions I'm supposed to you know, rely

1362
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 4: on you not having experience, right, So yeah, that's the

1363
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 4: whole glass time that he's banging his head up against.

1364
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 2: So PR is the field that he wants to get into.

1365
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I should have said that at the beginning.

1366
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: I was trying to condense an email.

1367
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 4: But yes, yeah, So I mean, look, if PR is

1368
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 4: really what you want to do, and he said that,

1369
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 4: you know right now, he's just trying to get a

1370
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 4: job to pay the bills, I would say like, and

1371
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 4: this is me speaking to you as a recruiter, I

1372
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 4: would say to kind of expand your job search into

1373
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 4: a point where you are you know, doing something that

1374
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 4: could be PR adjacent, right, Like if you are you know,

1375
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 4: just you know, search for like communications specialist positions or

1376
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 4: things on those lines where you know, with with the

1377
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 4: right finagling with the with the with the right wording

1378
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 4: on your resume, with the right you know, kind of

1379
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 4: experience that you can get on the job, you can say,

1380
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 4: you know, I did kind of you know, have moments

1381
01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 4: where I function in a PR capacity in this position,

1382
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 4: so you build your your your experience there so you

1383
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 4: can go out there and get that pr job you want.

1384
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 4: But you know, like I said, it's the whole you know,

1385
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 4: you need experience to get a job that doesn't require experience.

1386
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 4: It's that whole double edged sword right there.

1387
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jackson, this question is basically for you. This

1388
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: is uh gery Gee says loves a pod. He wants

1389
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: to know what goes into producing and recording a typical

1390
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: episode of Jenkinson Jones. How much content is cut out

1391
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 1: that never sees an audience. I think the answer to

1392
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: that is zero. He says, you ever struggle to come

1393
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: up with topics to discuss? Just looking for a general

1394
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: overview of how an episode gets put together because he

1395
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: finds it behind the scenes is interesting.

1396
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 6: Well, lucky for me, uh this show both existed before

1397
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 6: I was a part of it, So these guys had

1398
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 6: a very a process that worked for them in terms

1399
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 6: of coming up with topics and coming up with with

1400
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 6: stuff and talk about on the show. And then also

1401
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 6: lucky for me is that these guys are very good

1402
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 6: and they're very funny, and they don't really care about

1403
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 6: much of the things that they say, whether they sound

1404
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 6: dumb or whatever, or any any part of the spectrum

1405
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 6: that you some people might want to cut. They don't

1406
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 6: have a problem cutting it or they're not problem leaving it,

1407
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 6: I should say so. So my job as a producer

1408
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 6: for this show is very easy. No, no, no, there

1409
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 6: are who are who are really fucking macho ass podcasters

1410
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 6: who are like gonna There's there's a termin video editing

1411
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 6: called frame fucking where it's like you're really going like

1412
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 6: frame by frame trying to make it as perfect as possible,

1413
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 6: and like there's an equivalent to that in audio, and

1414
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 6: some people, but both editors as well as talent, are

1415
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 6: like really in the weeds about and trying to get

1416
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 6: every possible thing as perfect as it can be. And

1417
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 6: I think that's fucking stupid, both for for video and audio.

1418
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 6: So it's it's nice when you have talent as these

1419
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 6: guys are. They don't like to probably use that word,

1420
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 6: but they are talent that are very fucking funny and

1421
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 6: that aren't gonna like be on your ass about shit.

1422
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.

1423
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 6: Now there are things that we that they want to

1424
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 6: cut or I want to cut that we're that we're like, hey,

1425
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 6: this ship is important to cut we we are not

1426
01:03:38,560 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 6: including this in the podcast period point play, and that's rare.

1427
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 1: To cut the funniest segment we ever recorded time, and so.

1428
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 6: Like that's that's another important part of it. And to

1429
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:53,040
Speaker 6: try to answer the question more more of a broad

1430
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 6: stroke perspective, I think having developing a rapport with producer,

1431
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 6: between producer and talent is the most important part of

1432
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 6: a producer's job, like the number one. I genuine think

1433
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 6: it's number one most important important part about this type

1434
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 6: of producer's job, and the ability to have an honest

1435
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 6: candor and an honest discussion about what type of stuff

1436
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 6: should go in the podcast, what type of stuff should

1437
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 6: be taken out of the podcast, and sort of everything

1438
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 6: in between there. And so that's how that's why I

1439
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 6: feel like this show is successful. And I feel similarly

1440
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 6: with the other shows I work on. Like I was,

1441
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 6: it was a tougher to do to be perfectly honest,

1442
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 6: to develop that kind of relationship with Draymond Green, But

1443
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 6: like that it matters just as much there as it

1444
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 6: does here. I'm not saying what is more important than

1445
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 6: the other. Having that relationship and that with between producer

1446
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 6: and talent is the goes the longest way in terms

1447
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 6: of making the show good.

1448
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 2: That's gonna be can tell Draymond shit when you were.

1449
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 6: Started exactly exactly, I like try to like tiptoe my

1450
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 6: way around notes, and then we got more and more

1451
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 6: un comfortable and more uncomfortable, and he's like, no, gave

1452
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 6: me the notes. It's cool and and not that I

1453
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 6: was tiptoeing per se when I first started on this show.

1454
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,479
Speaker 6: But still like when I first started on the show,

1455
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 6: I didn't know any of these people at all, So

1456
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 6: I was like, it takes a little bit of time

1457
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 6: before you an efforts genuine effort. It feels just like

1458
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 6: getting kind of like bullshitting, but like it takes genuine

1459
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 6: effort to develop the kind of relationship and then kind

1460
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 6: of report that I would argue is required and importance

1461
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 6: to make a good piece of audio and video content.

1462
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: Jackson was having a ball when he first came on

1463
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: this show. It was shit, was so much fun. The

1464
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: first time you left your camera on, I was like, Oh,

1465
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 1: this kid fucking loves this.

1466
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 3: He's coming from the ringer.

1467
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: They've been talking about the same like nineteen eighties action

1468
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: movies in his ear for however, many fucking months and

1469
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: now he's just like Jackson's eyes were popping out of

1470
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: his head.

1471
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 6: Remember I was gonna, I was gonna bring it up.

1472
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 6: I forget what the question was earlier. It was about, uh,

1473
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 6: advice for podcasts or something like that, and I was

1474
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 6: thinking about how staying true to yourself is so important

1475
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 6: because that's something you guys were sort of alluding to,

1476
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 6: and one of the one of the first, if not

1477
01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 6: the first note I got, not from these guys, but

1478
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,439
Speaker 6: from like the production side. The team when I first

1479
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 6: started on the show, was like, when you make social videos,

1480
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 6: you got to put the captions on. At the time,

1481
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 6: we're putting captures on everything. Yeah, YadA, YadA, YadA. And

1482
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 6: they were like, so, just so you know, these guys

1483
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 6: are gonna say the N word a lot, and we're

1484
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 6: we it's a it's a deal. We've sort of come

1485
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 6: to agreement, we've come together with them that we are

1486
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 6: not going to bleep it out, we're not going to

1487
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 6: center it. That being said, don't feel like you have

1488
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 6: to and let me let us be clear, do not

1489
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 6: write the end word out in the caption.

1490
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, this is a different show, no,

1491
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 3: but like that's one reason we love the volume is because,

1492
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 3: like they were like, you know, uh, you know, be yourself. Yeah,

1493
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 3: do what got you here? You know what I'm saying,

1494
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 3: And I mean, yeah, when it comes to podcasting, I

1495
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 3: guess like, no, we are the same motherfuck as we

1496
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 3: were like twenty fifteen. Obviously not in personal life like

1497
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 3: we were some wild boys, but you know what I'm

1498
01:06:56,280 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 3: saying as far as like how we are ourselves at

1499
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,160
Speaker 3: all times and we don't talk about ship, we don't

1500
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 3: give a funk about which was the original description of

1501
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:06,800
Speaker 3: the podcast. We do the same ship here. So yeah,

1502
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 3: but yeah, Jacks, you've done a great job of that

1503
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 3: building relationship too, man, like to the point where you

1504
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 3: are a part of the podcast, Like you know what

1505
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 3: I mean, We like we throw to you, what do

1506
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 3: you think? Jackson?

1507
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

1508
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 3: Like that is never happened before. So you you are

1509
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,439
Speaker 3: great at what you do for show.

1510
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, produce extraordinary.

1511
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 1: We have a we have a handful of other questions,

1512
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: and I think we were kind of long on time

1513
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: at this point, but I would said this was funny.

1514
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: I love this and I know when I was a

1515
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: listener to show, I loved it too, So maybe we'll

1516
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 1: just bring it back next month. I saved the questions

1517
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: that get to their they're good questions, and y'all fuck

1518
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: with it.

1519
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, being on the cut, you feel what I'm saying.

1520
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 1: I know you've been talking, You've been talking about it

1521
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: for a while. Yeah, John has been wanting to do these.

1522
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: I just I just remember, like you've been talking about it.

1523
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 3: Great interaction, even though the last time I think we

1524
01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 3: really really did it was when we got high on

1525
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 3: four to twenty and me and Tyler were just hitting ball,

1526
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,440
