Up to that point, had done 200 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 10: practically everything I could think of to try. 201 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 6: To get off the streets. 202 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 10: As we've talked before, it's not easy and nobody can 203 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 10: do it alone. 204 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 6: They've got to have help. 205 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 10: And I was tired, and each day that went by 206 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 10: it seemed I was getting closer to that being the 207 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 10: life that I was going to live forever, and I 208 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 10: I couldn't handle that. 209 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 6: I didn't want to handle that, I didn't want to 210 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 6: deal with it. 211 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 10: So a little bit before the holiday season, I realized 212 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 10: that the promise I had made to myself at the 213 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 10: beginning of year not to spend another holiday season on 214 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 10: the streets, the only out I could see to keep 215 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 10: that from happening was to end it on my terms, 216 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 10: and so I checked in to Hallmark in on Trinity 217 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 10: Lane in Nashville, Tennessee. And that is done with a 218 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 10: sense of sarcasm. Because the room was nineteen dollars, I think, 219 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 10: so that tells you how luxurious it wasn't but it 220 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 10: was Hotel California for me. I was going to check 221 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 10: in and I had no desire to check out. I 222 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 10: had made the decision that I was going to end it, 223 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 10: and I was okay with that. I was calm to 224 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 10: a degree. But I realized that that's how far I 225 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 10: had sunk. But for the grace of God, I would 226 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 10: have succeed. People have asked me, and we've talked about it, 227 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 10: and well what happened? Well, I wish I could tell you, 228 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 10: because I went from sitting at that little table with 229 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 10: the pills in front of me, a few letters that 230 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 10: I had written to a few people, not knowing if 231 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 10: they would ever get them or read them. I was ready. 232 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 10: I was done hurting. I was done going to bed 233 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 10: at night, falling asleep, hoping I didn't wake up the 234 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 10: next morning. The next thing I know, I hear a 235 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 10: knock on the door and I'm startled. I'm shocked, and 236 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 10: I'm going, who's knocking at my door? Because nobody knew 237 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 10: I was there, and I had looked at the clock 238 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 10: earlier that was beside the bed, and it was nine 239 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 10: o'clock Christmas Eve, and I thought, good a time as 240 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 10: any well, when that knock on the door came and 241 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 10: it startled me. I was sitting there for a minute, 242 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 10: and then another knock followed it, only this time there 243 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 10: was a voice with the knock, and it said, sir, 244 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 10: are you staying or are you checking out? And as 245 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 10: I looked at the door, I caught the clock again 246 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 10: and it set eleven o'clock. But it wasn't eleven o'clock 247 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 10: Christmas Eve, it was eleven o'clock Christmas Morning, and I 248 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 10: was like, what the heck? I cleaned my language up. 249 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 10: I think I used something a little more colorful back then, 250 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 10: and I was kind of in a state of shock, 251 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 10: and I reached into my pocket and I pulled out 252 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 10: what money I had left, and I counted it out 253 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 10: and I said, I'm going to stay another night. I'll 254 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 10: come down and pay in just a minute. So I did, 255 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 10: and that was the beginning of my journey back. I 256 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 10: would like to tell you at that moment, that was 257 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 10: my come to Jesus minute. 258 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 6: But it wasn't. 259 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 10: I wasn't there yet because, as you know, knowing my past, 260 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 10: God and I did not get along for many, many years. 261 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 10: But it was the beginning and March of twenty fourteen, 262 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 10: I walked off the streets. So my lowest turned into 263 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 10: my highest, and I've not looked back. What I thought 264 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 10: was me giving up was really me letting go. And 265 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 10: it wasn't until I was ready to let go of 266 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 10: trying to fix things that God saw the opening and 267 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 10: he took it to fast. 268 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 9: Forward you fourteen hours that you can't explain right right 269 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 9: where you're like, how did I get here? 270 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 11: Right? 271 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 10: And he took that opportunity. And I tell people now, 272 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 10: whether they're homeless or people that I counsel with and 273 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 10: people that I know that are down, I go. You 274 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 10: wanted to change, let go, let go of the past, 275 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,359 Speaker 10: let go of the pain, let go of the hurt, 276 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 10: because until you do, there's no room for anything else. 277 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 6: And there's got to be room. 278 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 9: And thankfully, y'all, you were not successful no in twenty 279 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 9: and thirteen, because the lives you've been able to impact 280 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 9: since then are countless at this point. And you celebrated 281 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 9: your sixty eighth birthday this year. Thanks for reminding me, yes, yes, hey, 282 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 9: we got to celebrate that because you know, come a 283 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 9: long way, yes from that hotel room, which I think 284 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 9: is a perfect setup into another point that you posted 285 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 9: that really moved me, called sixty eight years of yesterday. 286 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 9: So I'd love for you to read that one. 287 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 10: Next, sixty eight years of yesterday. There was a time 288 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 10: when the odds of me reaching this point weren't very good. 289 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 10: Yet here I am, and in the quiet early morning 290 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 10: hours before the sun puts a spotlight on this day, 291 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 10: I can't help but look back and try to put 292 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 10: my pass in perspective and ponder what may lay ahead. 293 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 10: I was so self absorbed that I never considered what 294 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 10: it would feel like to reach this stage of my life. 295 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 10: I never thought I would, and I wasn't sure I 296 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,479 Speaker 10: wanted to. Most people spend decades preparing for their later years. 297 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 10: I spent that time living only for the moment, with 298 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 10: total disregard for the future. Now I find myself hoping 299 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 10: I'm around for a while longer. Did life go the 300 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 10: way I'd hoped or planned? I can't say, because I 301 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 10: wasn't much for doing either. I think that luxury disappeared 302 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 10: from my life when I was twelve. But as I 303 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 10: sit here and try to describe it, I'm transported through 304 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 10: the years on a whirlwind recollection that seems surreal at 305 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 10: best and unreal at worst. Regrets. Oh yeah, Still, I'm 306 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 10: blessed because I have lived long enough to change my story. 307 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 10: It wasn't until recently that I questioned or cared if 308 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 10: my existence would have counted for something. Would I pass 309 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 10: on without it having had a positive impact in this 310 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 10: world or leave having made a difference, even if just 311 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 10: in a very small way. I wasted so many years, 312 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 10: But I thank God for never giving up on me 313 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 10: and for allowing me time to hopefully make a difference. 314 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna do it live. Oh the one, two, three, 315 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: sore losers? 316 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 8: What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I know the most 317 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 8: about sports. I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, 318 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 8: because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all. 319 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male. 320 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser, 321 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a 322 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops hopefully 323 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe a little fescue to 324 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: be determined. Over to you, coach. 325 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 8: And here's a clip from this week's episode of The 326 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 8: Sore Losers. And here's a clip from one of and 327 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 8: here's a clip from one of the episodes this week 328 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 8: on the Sore Losers. Take this clip and play it 329 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 8: and betting. I guess if it's a push, you get 330 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 8: your money back.

We also gave a spoiler free review 545 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 3: of the new comedy movie Babes, and I broke down 546 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 3: why legendary director Francis Ford Coppola is spending one hundred 547 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 3: and twenty million dollars of his own money to put 548 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 3: out his own movie this year, So be sure to subscribe. 549 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 3: But right now, here's just a little bit of Movie 550 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: Mike's Movie Podcast. At number six is Shrek to selling 551 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 3: eight point two million copies. Came out back in two 552 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: thousand and four, just celebrated it's twentieth anniversary and they 553 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 3: re released that thing in theaters a great DVD. 554 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 12: And just talked about it having Shrek guy, you know, 555 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 12: I owned it. 556 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 3: I would say of all the DVD actually, Shrek doesn't 557 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 3: make the list. 558 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 13: That came out a few years earlier, so I feel 559 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 13: like that was probably still on VHS because I think 560 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 13: even like the first Harry Potter movie I ever had 561 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 13: was on VHS and that was like two thousand and one. Yeah, 562 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 13: so I don't think the switch really came into like 563 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 13: late two thousand two. Yeah, that lines up, so, yeah, 564 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 13: Shrek two would have been the one that was bigger. 565 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 3: And I feel like people like Shrek two more than 566 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 3: Part one. I'm more of a Part one. 567 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 12: Shrek was the revolutionary. 568 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 3: It was so huge at the time it came out. 569 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 13: Please stay off of the grass, shine your shoes, wipe 570 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 13: your face, all. 571 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 3: Of the adult jokes like that one. The other one 572 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 3: I didn't realize people didn't pick up on was the 573 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 3: fact that Lord Farquhaad killed one of the parents of 574 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 3: the bears. Like at one point you see the family 575 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 3: of bears and you see them missing the mom bear, 576 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 3: and then later you see him and he has like 577 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: this rug that is a bear. So it was all 578 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: these things happening. Also in the background is like these 579 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 3: second subplot jokes that was kind of level for that time. 580 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 13: I think that's the only reason, like my parents enjoyed 581 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 13: taking me to kids movies because there were jokes someone 582 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 13: over my head that they would laugh at. 583 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 3: That's what started that, and now is the thing of 584 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 3: putting in jokes for the parents so that they can 585 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 3: enjoy them too. That's got started with Shrek getting into 586 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 3: the top five. Now from two thousand and nine, Avatar 587 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 3: selling nineteen million copies. I feel like at two thousand 588 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 3: and nine, DVD sales were starting to dip a little 589 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 3: bit because you had HDDVD, you had Blu rays starting 590 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 3: to become a little bit more prevalent. So I'm surprised 591 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 3: it's this high on the list, but also makes sense 592 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 3: just because how big Avatar was, how it crushed crazy 593 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: box office numbers, so I feel like that probably translated 594 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 3: into a lot of DVD sales. But I didn't really 595 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: see this movie making the top five. 596 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 12: If I never saw Avatar again in my life. 597 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 3: The original or any of them, because they original they 598 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 3: have three, four five coming out more. 599 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 12: The original, I didn't really I would be fine. 600 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 3: I didn't really understand it at the time. I thought 601 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 3: it was way over hyped, and it wasn't until The 602 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 3: Way of Water came out that I went back rewatched 603 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 3: that one and I kind of got it again, and 604 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 3: I enjoyed the Way of Water in theaters. 605 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 12: I enjoyed it. 606 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 3: It is very long, there's a lot going on, but 607 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: I can also respect the big action adventure like I 608 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 3: was talking about in Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar goes 609 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 3: next level. 610 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 13: Now in my head, I'm confusing Avatar two and Black 611 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 13: Panther sequel because they both had people in the water. 612 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, movies have been doing that a lot recently. 613 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 12: Which one had like the sound paralysis. 614 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,479 Speaker 3: That was Black Panther two. Okay, yeah, well, I mean 615 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 3: we also had three monkey movies this year, a lot 616 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 3: of monkeys. Whenever a trends starts, it just keeps going. 617 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 3: We had Monkey Man, Kong and Godzilla, and then we 618 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 3: had Plant of the Apes, a lot of monkey movies. 619 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 3: At number four from two thousand and eight is The 620 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 3: Dark Knight, selling nineteen point two million copies. I remember 621 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 3: getting a copy of this on Black Friday. My mom 622 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 3: and I used to always go to Walmart and Target 623 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 3: and the only thing I would seek out was cheap DVDs. 624 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 13: I bought a couple sets of Gilmore Girls on DVD 625 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 13: on Black Friday. But my mom and I had this 626 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 13: thing where we'd go to Target, and we'd find ourselves 627 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 13: just like grocery shopping. 628 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 3: On accident during Black Friday. 629 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 12: Yeah, we'd end up. 630 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 13: With like popcorn and toilet paper in the basket, and 631 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,719 Speaker 13: the people like, you know these aren't on Salem. 632 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 12: We're like, no, we know, we just were already here. 633 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: We're just looking around. 634 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 12: Yeah, it's not really a thing anymore. 635 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 3: It used to be fun to go. And aside from 636 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 3: finding movies. I remember getting The Dark Knight and it 637 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 3: was the Batman head where it was just in the 638 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 3: shape of the Batman mask and you'd open it up 639 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 3: and have a DVD on either. 640 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 12: Side, kind of surprice. You don't still on that. 641 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: I think somewhere in all the moves in Austin it 642 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: got lost, or maybe we sold it at some point 643 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 3: when we sold a bunch of our DVDs. There was 644 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: a time when my brother and I kind of separated 645 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 3: all of our collections, so maybe he kept it. He 646 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 3: probably still has it. That was always my mission going 647 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 3: to Black Friday is finding the cheap DVDs because you 648 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 3: could find them for like sixty seventy percent off and 649 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 3: they would. 650 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 13: Put out the like circular and they would tell you 651 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 13: which DVDs were going to be cheap. 652 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: And they would just have them in like the big Gold. 653 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 12: Now Black Friday sales start on like October first. 654 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: And it's not the same as all online. You don't 655 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 3: have that interaction with people. You don't have people well, 656 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 3: I guess you don't have people hurting each other anymore 657 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 3: as much, which is probably good. 658 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 12: That was the thing too, Yeah, the craze. 659 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 3: But aside from movies, I would always get the Simpsons 660 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 3: box sets, which are normally were like thirty forty bucks. 661 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 3: You could get them for like ten bucks.

Part one I got a bootleg copy in America, 672 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 3: but part two I got a bootleg copy in Mexico. 673 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 12: Was it in Spanish? 674 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 3: It was in Spanish. 675 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 13: I'm sad you don't know that. I mean, it probably 676 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 13: has computer viruses and we don't have anything. 677 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: To watch it with. 678 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 13: But I would watch a bootleg version of Spider Man 679 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 13: in Espanol. 680 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 3: There were a lot of movies I got as bootleg 681 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: copies in Mexico, and for the most part it was 682 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 3: people sneaking in a video camera into the theater and 683 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: recording it. That was one of those. So every now 684 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 3: and then it would shake or you hear somebody came. 685 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 12: When they'd have the anti pirrating lot at the beginning. 686 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: It was so hardcore. You wouldn't steal a car, but 687 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: why would you steal a DVD? 688 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 12: This is unlocking so many memories. 689 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 3: But I remember getting The Spider Man two in Spanish, 690 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: Passion to the Christ in Spanish. Probably shouldn't have got 691 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 3: a bootleg copy of that. Looking back on that, there's 692 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 3: probably some weird association with getting a bootleg copy of Past. 693 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 12: To the Christ sing that on one. 694 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 3: I also got Gothica, which was a horror movie with 695 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 3: Holly Berry. And then I got a documentary, probably Michael 696 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 3: Moore documentary. Oh no, no, Michael Moore. It was The 697 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 3: Supersized Me. It was just funny to say supersize it 698 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 3: was great. So all those movies I experienced for the 699 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: first time watching them on my portable DVD player in 700 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 3: Mexico with all my Mexican cousins hanging around. 701 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 12: The Passion of the Christ is still really staid to me. 702 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 3: My mom could not watch that movie that it was 703 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 3: hard for her to watch. 704 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 12: It's just just the fact that it was bootleg. 705 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: Maybe that's why she did enjoyed it. She's like me, Oh, 706 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 3: this isn't right. 707 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 5: Caver, She's a queen talking. 708 00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 11: It was. 709 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 5: She get not afraid to face episode, So just let 710 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 5: it flow. 711 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 3: No one can do we quiet Calne is sounding Caroline. 712 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 14: Hey, y'all, it's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby. 713 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 14: And here is a clip from this week's episode.

Obviously, 737 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 14: it's not like one one moment can't change everything. But 738 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 14: like I'm like, you are here, like it is here, 739 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 14: your operating system is aligned, you got your team in place. 740 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 14: You signed with Big Loud Records and they're so known 741 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 14: for like supporting the artist as the artist and not 742 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 14: changing the artists. 743 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 11: Progressive. I mean, I have this album done before I 744 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 11: signed with them, and they fully embraced what I was doing, 745 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 11: and I was like, well that is those are rogues, 746 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 11: Like that's a Maverick kind of team that's going to 747 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 11: get behind you. But the wires crossing, like I had, 748 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 11: I had a little bit to do with those wires 749 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 11: being crossed in the beginning, just like even you know, 750 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 11: we're trying to talk about how I even got here 751 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 11: and like how Tommy were told. Like I can't even 752 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 11: tell you in a straight line how that first part happens. 753 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 3: It was just spaghetti. 754 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 11: Part of it might be just like my brain even 755 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 11: protecting me from the beginning of that. But I don't 756 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 11: take my foot off the gas because like this is 757 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 11: the time now, That's what this whole album is about. 758 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 11: It's like no one gets out alive. We have a 759 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 11: finite amount of time to get it absolutely. 760 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: Why do you have that urgency? 761 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 11: I just I feel like I've been here long enough. 762 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 11: I know now who I am. I believe in what 763 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 11: I'm doing. I'm not doubling down.

I don't 769 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 11: want to take a break right now. I don't. I 770 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 11: didn't want to take a break when the pandemic happened. 771 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 11: What did you do presented that you did? 772 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 3: Yes, what happened to you during the pandemic? How did 773 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 3: that affect you mentally in your career? 774 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 11: I think, you know, I had a little bit of 775 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 11: an identity crisis of like if I'm not performing, who 776 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 11: am I in? 777 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 3: Like? 778 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 5: Right? 779 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 11: What I'm used to having like one hundred some dates 780 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 11: a year and they were just canceled overnight. And I 781 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 11: had relationships that were friendships, but also there was a 782 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 11: work component. When that was removed, there was like. 783 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: What is the friendship now? 784 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 5: Right? 785 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 3: And is that where some of the loss with friendships 786 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 3: came from? 787 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 14: Yeah, and realized who was really a friend and who 788 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 14: was just kind of in it for the It's. 789 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 11: More I feel like it's it's more complicated than that, 790 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 11: you know. I think that a lot of people needed 791 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 11: to be they needed to feel valuable and I probably 792 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 11: couldn't provide that in the way that you know, I 793 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 11: used to be able to. So I don't I don't 794 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 11: think that it's like, oh, you see who your friends are. 795 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 11: It's not that simple to me. I think that there 796 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 11: was a lot of pressure that all these relationships had 797 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 11: to sustain. That's so hard to untangle now. And that's 798 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 11: one of the reasons that with this current project, like 799 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 11: these songs are so personal because I wasn't collaborating the 800 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 11: same way that I was on previous projects. I was 801 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 11: writing not from the collective we. I was writing from 802 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 11: the I'm going through this. 803 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 12: And so this is your you, Taylor Swift. 804 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 11: This I had to And you know, I also, like 805 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 11: my best friend's dad died, and my uncle had an aneurism, 806 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 11: and my husband's uncles passed away. Like we went through 807 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 11: a lot of loss as a family. And there was 808 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 11: just that beauty too of like cut this is getting 809 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 11: older sucks and like you were confirmed with these inevitable 810 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 11: losses that happen. You know, people went through addiction issues. 811 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 11: I had friends getting divorced, like just the I feel you, 812 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:15,879 Speaker 11: the sheene, the like patina of all the like things that. 813 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 12: I thought were so perfect really wore off. 814 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 11: And I also started this podcast, which was so fun, 815 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,719 Speaker 11: but it was it was like I was throwing my 816 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 11: life and focus into all these different guests and hearing 817 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 11: about their experiences and like, oh, this person's got the 818 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 11: best career ever, there are no problems in the world, 819 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 11: and hearing about their loss and it was just it 820 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 11: became like a really eye opening, sobering time for me. 821 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 14: Was that healing to hear about other artist losses that 822 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,359 Speaker 14: you had kind of idolized and thought it was such 823 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 14: a That's what this podcast has done to me is 824 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 14: this made me realize, oh, my god, everybody's got every 825 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 14: chaos and trauma and so many hard knocks, and it's 826 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 14: all about how you knowavigated yes, and you think. 827 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 11: About that career, what a storied career, that's exactly the 828 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 11: one I want.
