11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: country and just been very lucky through the hundreds of

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: episodes to have names that are massive now, but we're

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: also massive in the nineties. You know, Reba, Clint Black,

00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: Shanaia Belly, Ray Cyrus, John Michael Montgomery talking about well

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: they're biggest tits, but what it was like in country

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: music in Nashville back in the nineties. So we'll start

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: with that here from the Bobbycast. If you want to

00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: all coming up as well.

21
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: So away we go.

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: What was happening in your life that had you feeling

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: these feelings to create this dynamic music you think, I.

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: Think it was an excess of alcohol. There was probably

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: some I hate to even say them, there was. It

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: was a pretty rough.

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: Time, so it was a very excessive alcohol. I just

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 2: leave it to that.

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Were when you say excessive, did you know it was

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: a problem or were we just partying too hard?

31
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: I was actually working. It was like part of my job.

32
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: I always had a rule. I said, okay, I'll go

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: play the first set completely straight, straight up.

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Could you play us set straight and feel good?

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: I felt really good.

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 3: I always felt like the first set was like probably

38
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: my most correct and then the second set, like in

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: between the break, I might take a little puff and

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: then go up to the second set and I feel loosier.

41
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: That's probably the best set of the night. But by

42
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: the third set, I'd have a puff, possibly unfortunately, maybe

43
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 3: a ort unfortunately. Like then came like it was part

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: of people partying. Would send me drinks and some of

45
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: those drinks would be on fire. Someone would be like

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: double shots of who knows what, I don't know. What

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: it takes the light of drink up and then blow

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: it out and drink but I would do that. Was

49
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: so by third set with Rocketbraty he foreset, I was

50
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: probably legally drunk. And unfortunately Keith Whitley was from my

51
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: neck of the woods up there in Kentucky. You know,

52
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: I was a huge Keith Whitley fan, and when he

53
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: died it had a big impact on me, like, I

54
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: can't finally get to this point where my dream's about

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 3: to come true, but yet I have some issues.

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: So him him having his issues and dying did it

57
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: do you feel like it was kind of a mirror.

58
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: He saved my life. I mean, there's no other way

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 3: to say it. He saved my life because my manager,

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: Jack McFadden, was Keith Whitley's manager, and he was he

61
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: was like a son to Jack and Jack at that

62
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: point I was on his roster. But he had never

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: seen me play, never heard my music, didn't know exactly

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: what it was that I did, but he knew it

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: wasn't exactly straight up country. And Jack had managed Merle

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 3: Haggard and Buck Owens and Keith Whitley, and tragically on

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: May the ninth and again This is nineteen eighty nine

68
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: May the ninth. Jack was going to take me to

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 3: Sony Records for the first time. Jack was going to

70
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: take me anywhere, and again I don't think he'd even

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: heard any of my songs, but we had an appointment,

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: so I came down on the eighth. Tragically, Keith Whitley

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: passed away on the morning of the ninth, and the

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: meeting was canceled, obviously, and I drove back home to Huntington,

75
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: West Virginia and played on No Stranger to the Rain

76
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: over and over and over and over and over. But

77
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: I played one hundred times between here and Huntington, and

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: it just had a huge impact on me. And luckily

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: in nineteen and ninety one, when I realized that, hey, Cyrus,

80
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: you're about to get your chance this you got the

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: album that everybody seems to really believe something. Well, they

82
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 3: told me said, man, hang in there, this is about

83
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: to happen. And I stopped at a bridge down here

84
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: on the harbor somewhere and through all my stuff into

85
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: the river and said, I can't do this and and

86
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: not be at my very best stuff.

87
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: Working through your stuff do you mean your actual stuff

88
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: or drug cocaine. Got it the damn devil aste cold turkey?

89
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: Did I pulled over and threw my damn cocaine out?

90
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Would you have considered yourself an addict or someone who

91
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: and I come from a massive family of addictions, so

92
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: I were you an addict? Or were you someone who

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: just enjoyed it but could also if you needed to

94
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: stop stop?

95
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: I don't think I could stop stop, especially on alcohol,

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: because I drank since as a kid, and I ain't

97
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: had a beer sense like I mean that I had

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: to stop everything, except I did say, you know what,

99
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: having a little puff every now and then, if marijuana

100
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: helps me, it's medicine to me. And so I kind

101
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: of allowed myself to say, Okay, if you get rid

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: of these two devil alcohol and the cocaine, you can

103
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: keep a little bit of the marijuana because that's kind

104
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: of your medicine.

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: And you never looked back.

106
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 4: No.

107
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 5: Wow.

108
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: The fact that you stopped, drew a line and stood

109
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: at that line says a lot about who you are

110
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: deep down.

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: Like you.

112
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: I think it shows itself over and over again with

113
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: the things you're able to achieve. Like you, here's a line,

114
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: this is my goal, this is what I'm going to

115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: achieve and I'm not going to cross this, and that

116
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: was a massive step to me. I guess I'm surprised

117
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: and away, not at you, but when you hit so

118
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: hard and you're on and you are a superstar. Now

119
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: that when you have all every resource, everything's available to

120
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: you again, available more than it's ever been to you,

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: by the way you have, money, you have, fame, you

122
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: have you still didn't get back into it.

123
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: That run from it.

124
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: That is amazing.

125
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: I can't. I don't want it around me and I

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: don't even want to be tempted by it because it

127
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: never goes away. Sometimes I joked. I joked with my

128
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: little girl, Noah a couple of weeks ago, came to

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 3: see me. She said, where are you at, Dad? I

130
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 3: sat down on the banks of the Harpe. What are

131
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: you doing? I said, looking for my cocaine after the

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: way in ninety one. She laughed, Really, I know it's

133
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: a horrible joke, but she thought it was. She knew

134
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: the story and so being able to joke about it

135
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: a little bit. But I never knew anybody that anything

136
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 3: could come out of cocaine.

137
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Whenever you were young teenageers, because just you know being

138
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: a kid and watching you were just ripped like muscles, muscles,

139
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: tank top muscles and muscles like you had to have

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: been some sort of ath like crazy athletes.

141
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: Honestly, Noah showed me a couple of weeks ago this

142
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: thing of thirty years ago. I made my first appearance

143
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: at the Grammys and lost five. Few people can go

144
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 3: from nothing to losing five Grammys and one night. But

145
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: I was very I was very grateful that moment. I

146
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: knew I wasn't going to win one, so I wore

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: a T shirt that I cut the sleeves out of it,

148
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: said John three point sixteen. It's floating around out summer.

149
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: I see the picture of my head right now.

150
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's embarrassing to say, but oddly, yeah, I

151
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: did look more like a linebacker than and but the

152
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: point was, see, I was going to be a professional

153
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: baseball player up until I was twenty years old, nineteen

154
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: twenty years old, and as things started happening oddly enough,

155
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: this jacket and you'll see if I turn around in

156
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: this video with Snoop, I took a silver sharpie. I

157
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: wear a leather jacket. But I'm in this full circle

158
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: moment and Noah had said to me, and she showed

159
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: me that video, Dad, look at you John three sixteen.

160
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: And I wore the shirt because I knew I wasn't

161
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: gonna win a Grammy, but I wanted to say thank

162
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 3: you God for allowing me to persist and pursue this

163
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: dream and not give up because I'm here now, and

164
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: I wanted to say thanks, knowing I wouldn't win and

165
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: get to stand up and say thank you God for

166
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: this moment. So with that shirt as that reason, and

167
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 3: Noah said, well you can do. It's thirty years later.

168
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: And so I took a silver SHARPI and I wrote

169
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: John three sixteen on the back of my leather jacket.

170
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: I didn't wear it in here, but it's in the video.

171
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna wear it this weekend in Vegas. And I

172
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: think there's a lot to that, knowing that somewhere along

173
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 3: the line, you know, you just got to remember what

174

Speaker 7: Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown

179
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 7: and here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.

180
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 8: I went to get my.

181
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 7: Car washed at like an actual cars place, and I

182
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 7: went inside and there's all these nickknacks and candles. I'm

183
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 7: like looking around. I'm not even sitting down. I end

184
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 7: up like looking at everything. So I decided to go

185
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 7: sit down. Well, right after I sit down, they're like,

186
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 7: your car's ready. So I'm sitting down for not very long.

187
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 7: A yeah, and I get up and my friend that

188
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 7: was with me was like, oh, you're just sitting on

189
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 7: a penny, and they grabbed it and I.

190
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: Said, was it heads up? Was it head up?

191
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

192
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 7: It was heads up. Oh my gosh, that's my mom.

193
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 7: And my friend was like, oh my gosh. It is

194
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 7: so true because hours before that, I had read them

195
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 7: a poem that my sister had written called Lucky Days,

196
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 7: which is about pennies and when we were little, if

197
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 7: there would be a heads up penny, my mom would

198
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 7: pick it up and give it to me or my

199
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 7: sister and say, it's your lucky day. My sister's poem

200
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 7: is about like when my mom was, you know, similar

201
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 7: to your dad. She had the answer, then she was

202
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 7: in remission, and then it came back and then you

203
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 7: know you kind of it was this roller coaster and

204
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 7: we'd finally hit the end of the ride to where

205
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 7: the doctors are like, there's nothing more we can do.

206
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 8: So my sister was.

207
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 7: With her at that appointment, and they were at Indy

208
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 7: Anderson in the parking garage and went over to the

209
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 7: car and there was a penny in the parking lot,

210
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 7: and my sister bent down to pick it up and

211
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 7: looked at my mom and said, how's this a lucky day?

212
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 7: But then her poem had, uh I should read it

213
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 7: to you. Yeah, you're like friends with my sister. Well, yeah,

214
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 7: which y'all probably she's a nine on the Enneagram too.

215
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 9: So also, just separate from all this, it's been such

216
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 9: a joy to get to know your family. I didn't

217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 9: even think really about that component of it. Like when

218
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 9: we agreed to do the show. When they first called us,

219
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 9: well the show, I had no idea of the connection.

220
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 9: I just thought it was the show. And then as

221
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 9: they were explaining it, I was like, oh, I know Amy.

222
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, you.

223
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 9: Listen to all moments.

224
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm like no, I literally know her.

225
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 9: And so then like getting to know Christy and Ben

226
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 9: and like I don't know, and now like they carry

227
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 9: some of the stuff at the shop in Pagosa and like,

228
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 9: oh the.

229
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 7: House, yeah, yeah, see that's like that's connection.

230
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and.

231
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 9: I really I was like so jealous when you guys

232
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 9: were on vacation last week.

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: I was like, could I mean part of the family.

234
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 7: Well, And so it was when I got back from

235
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 7: Hawaii that which we went. Because my sister's son, my nephew,

236
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 7: is doing his freshman year at University of Weis. We thought, well,

237
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 7: if he's only to be there freshman year, let's like

238
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 7: make this happen and go. So we all went, kids

239
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 7: and all. It was great for the cousins to all

240
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 7: experience that. But we were on Waikiki and our parents

241
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 7: and they were still married, took me and my sister

242
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 7: to Waikiki and the hotel we were at was two

243
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 7: hotels down from the Pink Hotel where we stayed with

244
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 7: our parents, and my sister and I went over there

245
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 7: one morning and my sister has this Blessing's book and

246
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 7: she read a blessing while we were there, and like

247
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 7: our parents were all over it, like it was great,

248
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 7: And I woke up every morning while I was there,

249
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 7: went down to the beach by myself and watched the

250
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 7: sunrise and took my journal and like felt my parents

251
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 7: and kept and that's when I started really being like,

252
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 7: show me signs. I want to know, like you have

253
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 7: to ask for you have to ask. And so that

254
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 7: was that week, and it was on Sunday. We got

255
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 7: back from Hawaii on Friday, So it was Sunday that

256
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 7: I got the penny. I was sitting on a penny

257
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 7: so and then earlier that morning I had read this

258
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 7: about the penny, and again, something we're doing kind of

259
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 7: has to do with the penny.

260
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: So here you go.

261
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 7: Lucky Days by Christy dosher my sister, shiny penny on

262
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 7: the sidewalk, little brown eyed girl holding mama's hand. She

263
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 7: bends right down to pick it up and cups it

264
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 7: like gold sifted from the sand. Her eyes look up

265
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 7: and her mama looks down and says, it's your lucky day.

266
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 7: If these are lucky days, then I want to save

267
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 7: them up and cash them in for when things don't

268
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 7: go my way and count them all as blessings in

269
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 7: my not enoughs. I want to pay good to the

270
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 7: bad and hope to the mess, lucky days, Shiny penny

271
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 7: on the parking lot, grown girl open in mama's door, frail.

272
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 7: Mama bends down to pick it up, her body too

273
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 7: weak for treatment no more. The prayers went up and

274
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 7: the memories came down. Girl says, how's this a lucky day?

275
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 7: If these are lucky days, then I've been saving up.

276
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 7: I want to cash them in today because this is

277
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 7: hard stuff. I want to pay good to this bad

278
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 7: and hope to this mess. Somehow lucky days, But sometimes

279
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 7: lucky is going home home to that eternal place where

280
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 7: pain's no longer something you own, where you sing of

281
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 7: amazing grace. Girls lie by their mama's side that bright

282
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 7: morning she flew away, and their eyes tear up, and

283
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 7: God looks down and says it's her lucky day. Yes,

284
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 7: these are lucky days. If you look close enough, you

285
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 7: can catch a glimpse of grace somehow, even in the

286
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 7: hard stuff. When that dirt rode ahead is not what

287
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 7: you planned, get down on your knees and pray for pennies.

288
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 7: These are the lucky days. There's good and the bad

289
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 7: and joy in the mess. These are the lucky days.

290
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 7: That's so awesome. And then I sat on a penny. Oh,

291
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 7: heads up, and it was like, okay, thank you, mom.

292
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

293
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 9: I love that sentiment of like saving them up, you know, because,

294
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 9: like I mean, I certainly we've talked about a lot

295
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 9: about the highs, but there's some rough days, you know,

296
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 9: like owning a business. Just stuff will happen, or like

297
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 9: I'll get a bad review or something, and I got

298
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 9: to like draw back into that reserve of like a

299
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 9: great day that happened, or even like with my dad,

300
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 9: my dad did not wear jewelry ever, like to the

301
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 9: point where so my mom didn't want to change you

302
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 9: last name when she got married, and so my dad

303
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 9: didn't like wearing jely, so he didn't want to wear

304
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 9: a wedding ring. It wasn't like a creepy thing like

305
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 9: he just really didn't like wearing jewelry. My parents were

306
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 9: married till the day he died. And when we were

307
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 9: cleaning out his stuff, I found a necklace and it

308
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 9: was a zodiac symbol, and it was like something my

309
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 9: grandmother had given him, because my grandmother was obsessed with jewelry.

310
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 9: And I never saw him where it. I never saw

311
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 9: it ever, but I took it. I wore every single day,

312
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 9: and every couple of months there would be like a

313
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 9: thing where I'd be like thinking about my dad, and

314
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 9: then like the necklace would fall off, or like the

315
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 9: class would break, or like.

316
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Just all this weird stuff.

317
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 9: And then like three months ago, I got into a

318
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 9: car wreck. I got rear ended by an eighteen wheeler.

319
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 9: But the one thing that happened is that when I

320
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 9: got to the emergency room, They're like, oh, you need

321
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 9: to take off your jewelry to do the X ray.

322
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 9: And I realized that the chain had broke and I

323
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 9: had lost the pendant and it was gone. So I thought,

324
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 9: maybe it's in the truck. And when I got back

325
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 9: home before they towed the truck, I like went looked

326
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 9: in it and I went back to like where the

327
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 9: accident happened and where I got out of the car,

328
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 9: and I couldn't find it, and it just like racked me.

329
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 9: I've never had like a material attachment to something like that,

330
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 9: but it was this thing that was like it was

331
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 9: a real lesson. It was just like that didn't matter

332
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 9: to my dad. You know, that's not my dad. And

333
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 9: although it's like so horrible and it was, it felt

334
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 9: so emotional. After a couple of days by I was like,

335
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 9: it's okay, Like I didn't do anything wrong. It's not

336
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 9: like I was careless with it, you know, and I

337
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 9: had to like let go of it. But it was

338
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 9: just like another one of those moments with him.

339
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: Let's do alive. Oh the w S so losers?

340
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 3: What up?

Speaker 2: Everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports,

368
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: had made plans with these other group of people to

369
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,560

00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: to go.

387
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 12: But you'll always remember your first but.

Speaker 2: he just storms off, dude out, gone get back here, kid,

394
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: he's never been to grandma's house. Never back here, you motherfucker.

395
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: And he decides this walk and walk and he's gone

396
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: for an hour. He's gone for two hours, and we're like.

397
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 12: Okay, kid, I'll stare at you all the playgrounds.

398
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: All of a sudden. We get a call at my grandma's.

399
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: It's Forrest's mom. Forrest is lost. He went walking out

400
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 2: of the house and Markham and walked for two hours.

401
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 2: But he had no idea how to get back. So

402
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: he had to use this is back in the day, kid.

403
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 12: What kind of landmarks are you seeing?

404
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: Sweet back? So he had to use a payphone to

405
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 2: call his mom in Austin. His mom in Austin had

406
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: to write down some stuff he was by. She had

407
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 2: to call my grandma's house. We had to go find Forest.

408
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: Do you see the green river?

409
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 9: Meow?

410
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: And we get him back to the house and his

411
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: dad's like, you really want to go to Woodstock? He goes, yes,

412
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: I want to go to Woodstock.

413
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 12: Getting the cat kid if you've been shot.

414
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 2: So the next morning we drove to the Greyhound station

415
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 2: in Chicago and we dropped Forest off and he went

416
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: to Woodstock ninety nine in New York.

417
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 12: Class is heading out. Hurry and get over there, kid,

418
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,320

00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: he had clothes and a bag and some money. He's

Speaker 2: still alive and that is it. Bro. Everybody else canceled him,

425
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,480

Speaker 2: stuff that bad. Hey, he went to Woodstock ninety nine.

Speaker 2: He said it was awesome for the first two days,

431
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,080

438
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 13: Hey, it's Mike d for Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, and

439
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 13: each week I give you spoiler free movie reviews of

440
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 13: movies you should watch and movies you should avoid. And

441
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 13: this week was quite possibly one of my most controversial reviews.

442
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 13: I'm talking about Leave the World Behind on Netflix, which

443
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 13: is a movie I still think you should check out,

444
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 13: but you should listen to this warning before you do so.

445
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 13: So here's just a little bit of my review of

446
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 13: Leave the World Behind on Netflix. Let's get into it now,

447
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 13: a spoiler free movie review. Today we're talking about Leave

448
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 13: the World Behind, which is on Netflix. It's also in theaters. Oh,

449
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 13: this is a review that I've been waiting to do.

450
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 13: And when I say that, it's because either I was

451
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 13: so passionate about a movie and loved it so much

452
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 13: I can't wait to share it with you. The other reason,

453
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 13: and I say that, is because I was so infuriated

454
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 13: by a movie that I cannot wait to tell you

455
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 13: about it, which is this one. This is the one

456
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 13: I was infuriated with because I love movies about the

457
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 13: end of the world, one of my favorite genres. I

458
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 13: think about the end of the world all the time.

459
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 13: My most reoccurring dream is the world ending, of things

460
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 13: coming from the sky, and I've had that in my

461
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 13: life since I've been like thirteen years old. Torments me.

462
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 13: So I love movies about the end of the world,

463
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 13: movies that do it well. Let me say, and that

464
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 13: is exactly what this movie is about. And the cast

465
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 13: is amazing. The one and only Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawk,

466
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 13: Maherschela ah Lee. Those three actors combined alone should make

467
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 13: it just all out enjoyable. And then you have Kevin

468
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 13: Bacon thrown in there, who I feel is the X

469
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 13: factor in that casting, because maybe if it was eighties

470
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 13: nineties Kevin Bacon, I'd be like, oh, yeah, it's gonna

471
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 13: be great. But now when I see Kevin Bacon cast

472
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 13: in a movie, I start to question their decision. The

473
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 13: movie is based on a book, and I know that

474
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 13: I'm gonna get it into some things I didn't like

475
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 13: about it, and people are gonna yell in the come

476
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 13: and saying it's based on a book. If it's based

477
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 13: on a book, they should have fixed the things while

478
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 13: making the movie that the book got wrong then. But

479
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 13: it's also from the ex executive producer and director of

480
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 13: Mister Robot, which lines up perfectly with the material we

481
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 13: have here in this movie. So what it's about is

482
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 13: Julia Roberts and Ethan Hank are married. They're living in

483
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 13: the city, and they decide they want to go away

484
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 13: for a weekend and a really fancy airbnb. They're spending

485
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 13: a weekend away with their kids, enjoying life. They're out

486
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 13: on the beach one day and this giant ship just

487
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 13: comes onto the beach where they are, and it's really weird,

488
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 13: but they think nothing of it at the time. And

489
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 13: then some other weird things happening with their cell phones

490
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 13: networking with a Wi Fi being down, and this movie

491
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 13: just starts to create all of these weird elements and

492
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 13: all of this mystery. And then they get a knock

493
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 13: in the middle of the night and it's Maherschelo Ali's character,

494
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 13: who is the actual owner of the home, and he

495
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 13: gives them a story on why he shows up on

496
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 13: their doorstep. So this one has to be very careful

497
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 13: with because I don't want to ruin it for you,

498
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 13: because I will say at the start of this that

499
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 13: I was still highly entertained by this movie. I would

500
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 13: even say oddly entertained by it, because again I love

501
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 13: movies about the end of the world. And then you

502
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 13: have Marshall Ali's character, who is there with his daughter,

503
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 13: so you have them two coming together with Ethan Hank,

504
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 13: Julia Roberts and their two kids. What this movie did

505
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 13: very early, I would say, in the first thirty minutes.

506
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 13: So I don't think this is spoiling anything, but I

507
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 13: realized that the movie had bitten off more than it

508
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 13: could chew, and it just hit me that I knew

509
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 13: that all the little things it was setting in place,

510
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 13: it was never going to be able to deliver on

511
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 13: everything that I wanted as far as answering all the things.

512
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 13: It reminded me of one of my favorite shows of

513
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 13: all time.

514
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: Lost.

515
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 13: People either love or hate that show, mainly because at

516
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 13: the end of Lost, you don't get all the answers

517
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 13: of what happened on the island. I am on the

518
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 13: other side of that that I loved Lost, and I

519
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 13: believe that it was more about the journey than the destination.

520
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 13: With Lost, they had such great characters that I bonded with,

521
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 13: and I felt like I went through a lot of

522
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 13: things through the course of that show that even though

523
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 13: the finale was what it was, I found that the

524
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 13: journey getting there I enjoyed. In this case, with this

525
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 13: movie that's two hours and twenty minutes, almost two and

526
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 13: a half, there were so many things going on and

527
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 13: so much mystery being built that it never really fully

528
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 13: satisfied me. Throughout the movie, they are trying to figure

529
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 13: out why all of these catastrophic and weird events are

530
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 13: happening around them. There's also a lot of tension between

531
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 13: all of the characters, primarily between Julia Roberts' character and

532
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 13: maherschel Ali of her not fully trusting him for some

533
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 13: odd reason and him kind of having this dark hidden

534
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 13: pass that he's not being fully upfront with them either.

535
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 13: So there's a lot of back and forth between just

536
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 13: characters not trusting each other, but also them trying to

537
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 13: figure out why they don't have internet. Is it just

538
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 13: a blackout? Is it something bigger? And throughout the entire movie,

539
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 13: there's just all these things just getting bigger and stronger

540
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 13: and bigger and stronger until you wait for it for

541
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 13: the big thing to finally happen and it's fully revealed

542
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 13: exactly what is going on here. And I would have

543
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 13: to say that I have never wanted to know the

544
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 13: ending more while watching a movie.

545
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: This was one that.

546
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 13: I was like, I got to see it through to

547
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 13: the end just because I need to know how this

548
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 13: movie ends. So credit to them for hooking me in

549
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 13: and creating all this mystery to really make me want

550
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 13: to finish a movie, which is really important with a

551
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 13: Netflix movie right now, they're so focused on their completion

552
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 13: rate that this is a movie that will get you

553
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 13: to want to watch the entire movie. That being said,

554
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 13: it felt like it was doing an impression of m

555
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 13: Night Shyamalan mixed with Jordan Peel. Those are two directors

556
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 13: who do a movie like this really well of creating

557
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 13: some big mystery and then there's gonna be some overarching

558
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 13: theme or overarching message that the movie was trying to convey.

559
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 13: It never really had its own distinctive style that I

560
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 13: was just kind of craving. It really tried to do

561
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 13: it through the use of cinematography. Now, if I have

562
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 13: to give this movie just gold stars for it's because

563
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 13: of how great it looked visually. That is really what

564
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 13: had me suck in in this movie. That I found

565
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 13: myself saying a lot throughout it is how did they

566
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 13: get that shot? Because it's not even that it's a

567
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 13: full on bad movie in its own right. It's still

568
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 13: an entertaining movie and probably did what it set out

569
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 13: to do so based on entertainment value and also based

570
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 13: on the fact that you did have a good cast here.

571
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 13: The acting was actually on point throughout this entire movie.

572
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 13: But being what it is, I give leave the World

573
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 13: behind three out of five blackouts.

574
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: Carlone. She's a queen and talking, so she's getting really

575
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 4: not afraid to face so just let no one can do.

576
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: A week have your kid line it sounds cut line.

577

Speaker 8: does it all. Tune in now and here Tory Gerbig.

590
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 14: I am just so excited to be here with Toy Gerbig,

591
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 14: who is the founder of the CEO, just the absolute

592
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 14: total machine, incredible woman, wife, mother, entrepreneur. Your bandwidth for

593
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 14: life is extraordinary. Like talking to you, I already know,

594
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 14: I'm like, I'm just I can't wait to hear what's

595
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 14: in your brain because you can do so much, and

596
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 14: you have done so much, and I know that you

597
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 14: encourage others to do these same things that you have done.

598
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 14: But there is a special breed of people like yourself

599
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 14: who can literally take an idea like you did of

600
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 14: starting a clothing line online and starting it out of

601
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 14: your house for like three hundred dollars and then turning

602
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 14: it into what is it, one hundred and forty one

603
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 14: million dollars in sales you made last year. I mean,

604
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 14: not all people can do a to be like that.

605
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 14: So it is incredible to talk to you, Tory.

606
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 8: How are you? I'm great? Thank you for having me

607
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 8: on here today.

608
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 11: Do you.

609
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 8: Do you just go? Is that what happens?

610
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 14: Like you just get an idea and start, like, talk

611
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 14: to me about this vision Because a lot of people

612
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 14: love clothes, a lot of people start little side hustles.

613
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 14: Not everyone becomes this massive.

614
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 8: Empire.

615
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 6: Yeah.

616
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 15: Absolutely, So it really wasn't even honestly about clothes as

617
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 15: much in the beginning of more of what do what

618
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 15: can I sell online to get out of debt? My

619
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 15: husband and I honestly didn't have a lot of money

620
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 15: at the time. We combined, I believe made you know,

621
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 15: fifty thousand dollars income salary. That's him and I both

622
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 15: did it together. And of course we had a mortgage

623
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 15: we had student loaned itb that was higher than that.

624
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 15: We had our one year old, and I was like,

625
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 15: we were drowning, and so we started selling things online

626
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 15: eBay at the you know, just monogram things, monogram scarves, accessories, whatnot,

627
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 15: and it really transitioned into clothes. Whenever I started a

628
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 15: Facebook group. It was more accessory focused in the beginning,

629
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 15: but also I just saw a gap that there wasn't

630
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 15: anything great that was also affordable that you could get.

631
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 8: At your local stores.

632
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 15: You know, it was very expensive in the market or

633
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 15: very cheap. You know, there wasn't like this mid level

634
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 15: great items that you'd get for thirty or forty bucks.

635
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 8: In the clothing world, it was like.

636
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 15: Hundreds of dollars name brand stuff or you know, stuff

637
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 15: that's going to fall hard.

638
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 8: So whenever I started.

639
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 15: A Facebook group in twenty thirteen, it really quickly transitioned

640
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 15: to clothes because all of the members in there were like,

641
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 15: can you get this? I would love this. I would

642
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 15: love tops that help me feel more confident. I would

643
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 15: really love to see more, you know, things that are

644
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 15: inspirational for you know, designer styles, but not really with

645
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 15: that price point. So it kind of transitioned into to

646
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 15: offering something for the customers that I had that help

647
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 15: them feel confident but also didn't break the bank.

648
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 14: Because I feel like pink Lily is really in a

649
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 14: league of its own. The other people that might compare

650
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 14: and tell me I'm totally awkward. Would it be like

651
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 14: Forever twenty one H and M? What's the difference there?

652
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 14: Because if I'm going to shop cheap, it would besides

653
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 14: not the pink Lies cheap, but like if I'm gonna borable,

654
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 14: I would think what would.

655
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 8: Be the competitors? Would it be like an H and

656
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 8: M or Forever twenty one or is that just the.

657
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,919
Speaker 15: Difference with H and M and for Every twenty one

658
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 15: is the mass production that they do, so you're going

659
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 15: to see so many people wear in the same exact item,

660
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 15: whereas with us being more of a curated boutique and

661
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 15: you know our own ideas for the most part, and

662
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 15: then we also limit how much we bring in and

663
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 15: we don't overproduce, Like you're gonna have very like you're

664
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 15: gonna stand out. You're gonna wear something, and you're not

665
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 15: gonna like worry about going into a party or to

666
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 15: a concert and seeing a ton of people wearing the

667
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 15: exact same thing. So while the price point might be

668
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 15: very similar to the H and M the Czaras of

669
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 15: the world, we're not mass producing the way to the

670
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 15: level that they are.

671
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 8: So you're you're going to be able to like have

672
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 8: a unique piece.

673
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 14: Okay, I love that, So kind of talk to me

674
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 14: about how this thing grew. You started it, and it

675
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 14: started in your house, and then it grew and grew,

676
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 14: and then you finally quit your job and yeah, I

677
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 14: opened to make like fifty thousand dollars and you made

678
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 14: like a million or something.

679
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 8: Yeah.

680
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 15: So our first year, we launched January twenty fourteen from

681
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 15: our house.

682
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 8: Had no idea how to launch a website.

683
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 15: I had just graduated college a couple of years prior,

684
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 15: and like, we did a little website, but I was like,

685
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 15: I'm not a website person. So my husband did it.

686
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 15: Was like fifteen hundred dollars to get our website going

687
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 15: in the back end and filing all that. I pretty

688
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 15: much was handling what I was buying to sell, doing

689
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 15: the selling, the marketing, and he did all the back

690
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 15: end work for it, getting that business license up, all

691
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 15: the things that I just didn't really.

692
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 14: Want to do.

693
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 15: And so when we launched in January, we were like,

694
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 15: you know what, we would love coming off that Christmas

695
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 15: and seeing like kind of what we sold on etc.

696
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 15: And eBay, Like, we would love to set a goal

697
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 15: for fifty thousand dollars in revenue.

698
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 8: If we sold fifty thousand in.

699
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 15: Revenue, we could probably pay about ten thousand dollars off

700
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 15: of credit card debt and reinvest and grow.

701
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 8: More into product assortment.

702
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 15: And it's just a side hobby, you know, something that

703
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 15: we would just do on the side. And then from there,

704
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 15: within the first seven months, we hit a million dollars

705
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 15: of revenue.

706
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 8: How do I feel? What is that feel?

707
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 6: Like?

708
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 14: Your goal was fifty thousand and you hit a million?

709
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 14: I mean, what is going on internally when that happens.

710
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 15: Yeah, we were actually still at my house too, Like

711
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 15: we were not even like we were packaging orders on

712
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 15: our dining room table still at that point when we

713
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 15: hit the million dollars in revenue, So that was crazy.

714
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 15: I just left my job in April. Everyone tried to

715
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 15: talk us out of it, and especially my husband when

716
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 15: he left in July. They were like, you cannot just

717
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 15: quit your job for this little side hustle that's only

718
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 15: six months old, Like most businesses don't make it past

719
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 15: three or four years, Like, do not do it, don't

720
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 15: leave your insurance, don't leave your benefits, all those things.

721
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 8: But you said, no, I don't care. I'm doing this anyway.

722
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 15: What am Yeah you My parents thought that we were crazy.

723
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 15: They were like, you had a one year old and

724
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 15: not soon after I ended up pregnant with my daughter,

725
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 15: and they're like, you cannot do this.

726
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 8: But what gun?

727
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 14: Like how did you have the confidence to do that?

728
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 8: Like how did you know?

729
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 14: Like you had so much on the line, you had

730
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 14: so much a stake, You got a kid, you're pregnant,

731
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 14: you have debt, You are in a job that's paying

732
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 14: you not great as an insurance Like you said, you

733
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 14: made like twenty five to thirty five thousand a year,

734
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 14: which I means is a lot of work for a

735
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 14: little pay, But like what gave you the confidence to

736
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 14: take this leap of faith? Because I feel like this

737
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 14: is the moment that so many people won't do, and

738
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 14: this is the moment that changes the course of your life.

739
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 8: Are you going to walk in your.

740
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 14: Calling an alignment with what you know you're capable and

741
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 14: called to do and what you can do, or are

742
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 14: you going to play it safe? And I feel like

743
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 14: so many people hit this spot, but they won't take

744
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 14: the leap. And you're even having all these people telling

745
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 14: you're crazy, don't do it all You're trusted, most confident,

746
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 14: closest people too, you're saying, don't do this.

747
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 8: How did you know to do that?

748
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 9: Like?

749
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 8: How did you know that this is what you're supposed

750
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 8: to do? And you had so much at stake?

751
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 15: I think based on like where the sales were going,

752
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 15: you know, every month it was growing, and also knowing

753
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 15: myself and how hard of a worker I am and

754
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 15: how important it is for me to always do better

755
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 15: than before. I trusted that I wasn't going to let

756
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 15: it ever go backwards and saying with my husband, we

757
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 15: were very hard workers. We always had you know, two

758
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 15: jobs throughout college to help support ourselves and I also

759
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 15: knew that if it didn't work out, I have a

760
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 15: degree to fall back on, and I do have experience

761
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 15: in the marketing and sales world.

762
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 8: So I was like, your life is too short. We're

763
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 8: going to just do it.

764
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 15: And it was absolutely terrifying, you know, waking up every

765
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 15: single day saying, look, if I don't hit this amount

766
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 15: in sales, like, I have no money coming in.

767
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 8: So, you know, it was just.

768
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 15: I think that's what drove me the most though, because

769
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 15: I am a very like I set goals for myself

770
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 15: and I knew that every single day I had a

771
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 15: goal to hit and I would exceed those goals, and

772
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 15: I worked really hard to do it.

773
