1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: It's time for the Bobby Bones post show. Here's your host,

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones. Hello, friends, the most regretted college majors. Mine

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: isn't number one journalism. And you know I was talking

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: to who oh it was Mike. Who who'd I talked

5
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: with about college majors? Jordan Reynolds. So we've been doing

6
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of Bobby cast to get caught up for

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: the end of the year. Jordan Reynolds is a songwriter

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: who wrote a bunch of he'd written a bunch of stuff,

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: but he wrote a bunch of Dan and Jay massive

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: song starting with Tequila and all the way down. I

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: actually had a lot. I had a really good time

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: with him. That'll be out in a couple of weeks.

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: But we were talking about college majors and he was

14
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: a vocal major, but he's not never a singer. But

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: he was like, I don't want to do music. So

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: he moved in it from Saint Louis and I was like, wow,

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: it's a TV radio major one of my deals, and

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: you don't need that. And I told the story about

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: how I went to Texas State and told the kids

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: in the radio class, don't do this, don't study this,

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: if you want to do it, just go learn it

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: on the real world while you go to college and

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: study something else. Learning it in college doesn't help you

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: at all because no station, especially in the radio world, goes, oh,

25
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: you have a college degree from radio that you here's

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the leg up, not one single one. TV different because

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: there are some skills that you can learn at the

28
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: college television station. But I got in a lot of

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: trouble and they said, don't never come back to the

30
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: school again. And then later I got years later, I

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: got a letter, go and we're sorry about that. You

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: can come back, but we're talking about that, and I said, yeah,

33
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: for like what we do, or like it'd be like

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: going to podcasting college. You know, you just do it.

35
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: You get on the internet, you look up how to

36
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: do it, and then you do it wrong, and then

37
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: you do it kind to wrong. Then you do it okay,

38
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: then you do it pretty good, and if you have

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: the patience, you end up doing good and you can

40
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: make a little bit of money or alive. But journalism

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: is a number one major and that's me and I agree,

42
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: no need number two, sociology, number three, liberal arts, general studies.

43
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I still think these are valuable

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: in that you did prove that you could take a task,

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: look at it, finish it, you have it. But it's

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 1: just this specifically is the least valuable of all. I'm

47
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: also at a period where I don't even think you

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: have to go to college. I went to college. My

49
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: family had ever been to college. Nobody my family godes

50
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: went to high school, but I went up. Was important

51
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: to me to go. But if somebody was like my kids,

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: if we ever kids like, I don't want to go

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: to college. I want to already know what I want

54
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: to do. Cool, you can always go back to college,

55
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Go get it, Go start working on what you want

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: to work on. I definitely don't think you need to

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: go to college at this point. Now, there are some

58
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: things that college does lead you into a little easier,

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: a job in finance, you know, specific type jobs. But

60
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: I definitely am not a you have to go to

61
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: college type guy. Education at five and they keep on

62
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: going down. But most people, they say, almost half say

63
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: that third job major was stupid and they shouldn't have

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: done it. Yours, I don't. I mean I liked I

65
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: mean I was a political science from fill my junior

66
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: year and I hate political science. Yes, no, no, no, no.

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: A junior, I hated it so much and then I

68
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: switched and I just needed to graduate kind of on time.

69
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: So my adviser, in order for me to get out

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: in four and a half years, she switched me to

71
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: agricultural development because you have to have not a minor,

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: but an emphasis in something, and so I mean just

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: by the classroom if it's no somebody who took a class.

74
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: It was like, if you've like my twelve hours of

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: polycide transferred over because that counted his emphasis. Yeah, at

76
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: a minor in French, Oh are you using that? We really? Yeah,

77
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: but I mean I don't use mine. Well, I strategized

78
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: my French miner because we had to take a foreign language.

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: For to be a communications major, you had to take

80
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: four classes for three hour classes of a foreign language.

81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Spanish was full. I want to take Spanish, but that

82
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: would have been good, and so then I was like, well,

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: I guess I'll take French. I was terrible at it,

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: but I finished one two one year, one two. The

85
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: next year. Then they said for your minor, we only

86
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: need fifteen hours for a minor, and I was like, wait,

87
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: any one more class, I have a French miner and

88
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, so I took a French lit class,

89
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: which is all in English. We just learned about literature,

90
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: and so the Devin French miner. Nice, that's cool, bog,

91
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, we're worthless, right, worthless lunch watch you Oh

92
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: easy speech, communication nailed it, and public relations made the

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: list and minor in general business. That's why I'm a businessman.

94
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm making business deals trying to get that money. I mean.

95
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: The most ridiculous one was my roommate. Though he got

96
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: a degree in philosophy to teach philosophy. That's pretty cool

97
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: be a philosopher, though I feel like I am a

98
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of times. You can just call yourself one. Yeah. Yeah.

99
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: He was gonna go into criminal justice. He went, and

100
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: but it was gonna take four and a half years.

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: So he switched to philosophy. And he would come home

102
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: and argue with me, Hey, how do you know we're

103
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: awake right now, We're not dreaming? Absolutely, do you know

104
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: we're not a simulation? And I'm like, oh my god,

105
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: you don't know. That's the point of it. You don't know.

106
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: But that is what he did all day. He got

107
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: a degree in that. Yeah, I love it. Those classes

108
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: changed my life in many ways that I continue to

109
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: take philosophy classes even after my first two. I'd tell

110
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: you start about my philosophy professor. How do you know

111
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: he's real? I don't. I don't know anything real. The

112
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: only thing we know is real really is us. And

113
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: then we're confused about that. I don't know what you're thinking.

114
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: I can't see in but here's what happened. You know

115
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. No, I go to my fo. He's

116
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: an idiot. I'm thinking, like, what are you talking about? Yes?

117
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: But are you just saying that to me? Made me

118
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: question the fact that I shouldn't be figuring out what's

119
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: happening in here? Oh right? I mean it's yeah, See,

120
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: this is what I'm talking about. This was my roommate

121
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: living with him, and it was just like, I can't

122
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: I can't talk to you because you come up with

123
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: these dumb conversations, and I don't think it's dumb. I

124
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: went and I learned about the cave, the allegory of

125
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: the cave, and it was one of the greatest things

126
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: I'd ever learned, because what it taught me was I

127
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: don't know anything going on, I see things my perceptions

128
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: do say, I see touch, feel, but I really don't

129
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: know anything. And they start to wondered, what is there

130
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: even a known? However, I learn it, I'm gonna go

131
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: into it, but I'm so moved by it. I dial

132
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: in on this class. I don't even want to take

133
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: this class because they're like, this, professor is so hard.

134
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: And I take the class because it was the only

135
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: one I could get into. At that point, I was working,

136
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: and I had to be selective on what times I

137
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: could take things. Heaps working a full time job, so

138
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't just go take the class. Oh, I really

139
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: want that class, Well, it's only offered it three Well

140
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I had to drive an hour to get to work

141
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: by then, so I couldn't. So I took this really

142
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: hard class. And it's really hard professor. They said, don't

143
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: take and I'm like, God, I can know, So I

144
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: go on. I learned about the cave Plato's rocking It Man.

145
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: People lived in a cave the whole time. In the cave,

146
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: they were basically chained to the ground. Right, these these

147
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: two people three two or three chained to the ground,

148
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: and they lived in the bottom of a cave, and

149
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: on the wall of the cave, all they saw was

150
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: like lights, and that was from the outside of the

151
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: cave coming in. It was like the fire made reflection

152
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: on the lights. But they had never actually left the

153
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: cave because they were chained to the ground and they

154
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: could only look forward in their entire world. Was this

155
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: what they saw in front of them? It'd be like

156
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: what you see every day in your life, what's in

157
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: front of you. But all they ever saw was in

158
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: front of them. One of them was freed. He goes

159
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: out of the cave and he sees the whole world,

160
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: and he sees birds, and he sees mountains. He breathes

161
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: there differently, and he sees green grass. He's his colors

162
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: he's never seen before because the only they'd ever seen

163
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: ever in their whole life was the reflection of the

164
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: fire in the cave and on that wall. And he's

165
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: able to experience all these things. He's only out for

166
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. They put him back in the channer,

167
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: back down to the position he's been his whole life,

168
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: and he goes, yess, you're never gonna believe this. Out

169
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: there colors, birds, little things that fly other people, mountains, clouds,

170
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: blue skies, rain water coming from and they're like, what

171
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: are you talking about. There's no they can't even comprehend

172
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: what those persons saw. They don't even believe he left.

173
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: They couldn't see him. He just got quiet. They don't

174
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: they don't know that he left and ran around and

175
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: so all this stuff felt these things. So they're like,

176
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: you're the biggest idio ever. You're so stupid. That doesn't happen,

177
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: That can't possibly exist. He's like, no, I went out

178
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: of the cave. I saw it all. They're like, no,

179
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: that you're so dumb. That can't happen, because the whole

180
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: world is just here. What we see, this is our

181
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: whole world. There's nothing more than this. And he's like,

182
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: what what we think? But we haven't had the ability

183
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: to actually get out of here. But they let me.

184
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: I was able to go, and so again we were

185
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: able to let feet. The walk got stopped. Okay, you're

186
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: you're now insane. You're now insane, and we're not going

187
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: to be your friend anymore. Now he left cave. He

188
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: was able to see all this stuff. And what that

189
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: is is, how do we know there are people that

190
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: can see and do things that we can't the fire

191
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: to us what we see every day in our life

192
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: and what we're able to take in with our eyeballs

193
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: and our ears and our senses, and we're not even

194
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: able to see things that our dogs can see or people.

195
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: Some people can think things differently better, But we are

196
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: the people in the cave, and that wall is what

197
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: we're able to see and experience every single day, and

198
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: what's on it, And we go, no, there's no, there's

199
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: no way outside of our earth there can be things living.

200
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to even be that. It can be

201
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: things here with us that we can't smell or see

202
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: your touch, or it can be it can be a

203
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: limit less amount of things because we probably can't even

204
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: think of them. And are we those people in the cave? Yeah,

205
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: in some way sure, because we can't ever see anything

206
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: but what's on the wall. Anyway, that's the allegory of

207
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: the cave. I wanted to apologize everyone listening and let

208
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: you guys in here, I should have never brought up

209
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: philosophy in my roommate. Getting changed change my life, right,

210
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: And so then I started to just dive into all

211
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: of these different philosophers. Everybody from I mean, somebody called

212
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: this that was this morning or was it recorded about Voltaire?

213
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: When I was like, no, Voltaire actually said it was

214
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: Voltaire who said it, who said I may not agree

215
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: with you, but I'll fight to the death. You're right

216
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: to say it paraphrase. And so but I started to

217
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: study all of these philosophers and everything that I had

218
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: learned growing up. And I grew up in a in

219
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: an environment that wasn't very welcoming to new ideas, wasn't

220
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: very inclusive because everybody just went to work. There was

221
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: no there was no we don't want to learn it. It

222
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: It was like there's no time to learn it, there's

223
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: no welcoming it because you got to pay the bills.

224
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: And a lot of my even belief system was tilted

225
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: because of all the things I learned that I didn't know,

226
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: which taught me all the things that I knew I

227
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: could never learn. So why would I say things couldn't

228
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: happen when I don't have the ability to understand what

229
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: can and can't. So all this stuff in my mind

230
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: is just I just boom every day. And it was

231
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: a hard class too, But every day I was challenged

232
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: with the point where I would be exhausted, and I

233
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: would be sad. I would be really sad because here

234
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: I am questioning a lot of things that I was

235
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: taught for no reason. I was just taught it because

236
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: people around me were taught it, and you just pass

237
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: it down without actually knowing it. But because it was

238
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: told you from a generation before, you just go up,

239
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: must be true. That's a hard thing to do, to

240
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: have to start wondering, oh, all that that was told

241
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: to me, for all the that maybe isn't true, or

242
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: some of it's true, none of it. You have to

243
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: start questioning everything again. It was the first time I

244
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: had any sort of education to start questioning things that

245
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: I had been conditioned to learn and know. As professor

246
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: was just bus people's balls too, no curve, you just

247
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: took test people just people were quit in class, struggling,

248
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: struggling like BC. I never got to see in college

249
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: until French I did get to see, but I was

250
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: in that low B spot. I didn't want to get

251
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: to see it, and I ended up with a lob.

252
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: But the class was so hard, and but that teacher

253
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: I really and I don't think he even knew who

254
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: I was. But I was a student that was very

255
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: dedicated to learning because I was so interested. I was.

256
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: I was curious, and I really appreciate at him because

257
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: you could tell he cared even though he was very hard.

258
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: He walked to school every day, and a lot of

259
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: times I'd see him. I don't want to pick him up,

260
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: but I was like, oh, I'm he didn't want to ride.

261
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, I don't know. He

262
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: just walked with his books. Older guy Beard. He come in,

263
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: loved philosophy, wasn't didn't it wasn't the warmest, nicest guy,

264
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: wasn't mean, but just came in, do the job, passionate

265
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: about it, a little, a little weird. Then would leave.

266
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: And so finally the whole summer I was just working.

267
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: I was like, many, when I go back, I'll call

268
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: him mister Jones. Like I'm gonna go back. I cannot wait.

269
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to mister Jones. I'm gonna go to

270
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: his office and knock on the door and I say, hey,

271
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 1: mister Jones, you've changed my life. You don't even know

272
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: who I am and his Bobby. I was in your class.

273
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: There were eighty other people in this class. But I'm

274
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: gonna tell you you changed my life, and I planned

275
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: because I had wanted to do or reach out to him,

276
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: I never did. And I was like, you know, if

277
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: I see him on the side where I'm picking him up,

278
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: because I had all these new feelings and emotions, and

279
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: I had a lot of growth, most of my growth

280
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: utalizing at a lot to row. And so first day

281
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: of school, I go and I look, and they they

282
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: built a new building because we were in like those

283
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: temporary trailers, like I don't know what they portables for

284
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: that part of of the campus. His office wasn't a

285
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: portable for it. And And I'm trying to find out where

286
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: his office is because they just rebuilt one of the halls.

287
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: And I go over and I look, and I can't

288
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: find his name on the list. Must be another building.

289
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: So I go over to the little center where you

290
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: ask you have any questions, I say, Hey, what happened

291
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: to mister Jones. They said he died like two weeks ago.

292
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: I never told him. Always I wanted to tell him

293
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: before I left, And I was like, oh wait, I'll wait,

294
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll wait, I'll tell him a new year, I'll tell him,

295
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: I tell him, I tell him he died two weeks

296
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: before I was able to go and actually go. Hey, man,

297
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: your passion for this and your ability to express it,

298
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: and you how you challenge me in this class has

299
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: shaped who I know I'm not. And I built it

300
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: up and I waited too long and I was two

301
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: weeks late, and I regret that, and I don't regret

302
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: many things. I pushed a button that costs a million

303
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: bucks once. That was tough, But that's really a big

304
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: regret for me because that I could have done it

305
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: at any point. I could have done it when the

306
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: school end, I had the same feeling. I was just

307
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: nervous to do it and scared to do it. But

308
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: then when I went to do it, he was dead

309
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: or was he? What? There? So anyway? So good thing

310
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: about your roommate, Huh? How about that? Yeah? Man? Shout

311
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: out John. For those that are new to this show,

312
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: this is how a five hour show used to be.

313
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: We played no music. We come on five o one.

314
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: Something I'd have on a piece of paper and I

315
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: would go, oh, how about this as a shortage and

316
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: toilet paper shortages, man, and it'd be an hour of

317
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: some weird and we would just go for five hours

318
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: no music. Sometimes we'd be like, let's just skip commercials.

319
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: We get in trouble for that one. Yeah, we or

320
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: then we play like two commercial blocks back to back

321
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: because we'd never get to them. But that is kind

322
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: of what this show used to be, and then it

323
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: is what it is now. We've play a couple of

324
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: songs and we have to get commercials because if we don't,

325
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: our affiliates leave us and we don't need that. They

326
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: don't need to be in the allegory of the cave

327
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: right in the middle of it and leave me, you

328
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So anyway, that's that, that's the

329
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: whole story. That didn't I mean, I obviously didn't plan

330
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: to get there because it wasn't the idea. Yeah. Well,

331
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: Also a takeaway from that for listeners, don't punt. Don't punt,

332
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: go do it. Oh yes, go for it like you're

333
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: gonna regret it. Don't punt crap. If you have something

334
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: you would like to say to someone, go ahead and say.

335
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: Never a perfect time for anything. It's not even about

336
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: saying something. There's there's not a perfect time. You want

337
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: to have kids and a perfect time that's true, You'll

338
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: never be ready if you're waiting to get a house

339
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: because you're not exactly and you don't know when. There's

340
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: not a perfect time. There's not a perfect time. The

341
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: perfect time is right now. Now. Don't do anything it's

342
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna get well, not even rash. Don't do anything that

343
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: is irresponsible. But if you're like, you know, we could

344
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: right now. But what we need is for this to

345
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: in the market to and there's not a perfect time.

346
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: There's not a perfect time for anything, because you can't

347
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: predict unpredictable things, which I could do another hour on

348
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: people to go expect the unexpected. That's the dumbest thing

349
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: you ever heard. You can't possibly expect something that's unexpected

350
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: because it's unexpected. Now, you can expect for things to

351
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: happen that you weren't told we're going to happen, but

352
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: you can't expect the unexpected because it's unexpected. And if

353
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: it's unexpected, there is you can't get to the expect expectation. Anyway,

354
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: We're done, Yeah that fifteen minutes do we hit the market.

355
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: I had a question, but I'm scared. I want to

356
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: know what happened to philosophy degree. He went to the

388
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,200

389
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: But if you need to watch one, this is the

390
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: one you watch. Jimy's gonna do a great job. What

391
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be me? I thought they're

392
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna call dang they did. Rumored painting of Shakespeare set

393
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: to sell for twelve million bucks. A man thinks he

394
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: has a previously unknown painting of William Shakespeare. The current

395
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: owner brought it in nineteen seventy five four hundred bucks.

396
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: Leading Shakespeare expert Michael Dobson says that the idea it's

397
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: a portrait of Shakespeare's wishful thinking, and I think that's

398
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: because we've kind of invented what Shakespeare looked like. Yes,

399
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: by the way, they don't even know if there's one Shakespeare,

400
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: or if it was a bunch of people, or if

401
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: Shakespeare was a fraud and just stole. Everybody's worried because

402
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: there's so many. It's so derivative of other things, like

403
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: another hour. I like that though. That's cool. It's like

404
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: the telephone game with history. It is and there is

405
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: a thing. There's what we remember of Shakespeare and what

406
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: they've drawn this painting, and it's a whole thing. But

407
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: some people swear on their life there was no single Shakespeare.

408
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: There was a group of like a troop. Some people

409
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: think there was a Shakespeare body stole everything, or and

410
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: some people think there was there was a Shakespeare, but

411
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: he was just an idiot and they used him for

412
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 1: all the really good works, and they used him as

413
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: like the mouthpiece of it, to be like I wrote this,

414
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: So it was someone who could be the face of it.

415
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: That's amazing. There's a lot of theories about that. A

416
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: doctor doctor seeing more pickaball injuries, nothing serious, but just

417
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: people are playing more so they're geting hurt more. And

418
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: then vandals free more than ten thousand minks from a

419
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: farm in Ohio on Tuesday. An active screwp called Animal

420
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Liberation Front maybe may have been behind it. A lot

421
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: of minks were killed crossing a road next to the property.

422
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: Low weird cats like like coats. Yeah they're not cats,

423
00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: but I'm just they've got the fur and boots with them.

424
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they were gonna die anyways. Yeah,

425
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: but it's a good thing. They're fair with a cat fur.

426
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, Ay. What was your question? Real quick?

427
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: If we have to go, did you have one? Oh? Yeah?

428
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: About philosopher? And I hit it. I don't I'm not

429
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: an expert. I just tell you what well, I mean,

430
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed everything. Are you gonna ask? Are there any

431
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: modern day philosophers? Oh my god, Lizzo? Why man? I

432
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: think Lizzo says them really in depth stuff. Yeah, it's

433
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: in her fun little catchy and she songs and Lizzo

434
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: is awesome. But yes, there are some modern day philosophers.

435
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: I think Lizzo is quite remarkable. Question real quick? I

436
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: think it was about the unexpected. It was more so

437
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: like can you expect the idea and be open to

438
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: the unexpected. Could that be what it's saying, to expect

439
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: the unexpected? Okay, you can't, it's unexpected, but you can

440
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: expect things that you had no idea we're going to happen.

441
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: You can't expect okay, Yeah, you can't run fast slow? No,

442
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: you can't. Can you run fast slow? Because can you

443
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: expect unexpected? No, because it's unexpected. The idea of the unexpected.

444
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: You can expect the idea, but you don't know what

445
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: it is. Right, you can't expect the unexpected. You can't

446
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: run fast slow, right, Okay, I just like the idea

447
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: of being open to the unexpected talking about this stuff. Okay,

448
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: let's go not in that way, all right. We're out

449
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: of here, so you go by
