It's Morgan here. And this 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.480 is my favorite part of the Best Bits podcast because 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:15.840 I get to bring on a fellow show member and 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.360 we get to talk about life and all the exciting 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:21.040 things that are going on. And this weekend, I have 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:25.320 a listener favorite. It's Scuba Steve. What's up Scooba? Oh, listener, 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.480 I always love hearing that. I still feel like you're 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.520 lying to me. But that's okay. I'm not lying to you. 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.000 But you guys are all their favorites. But do you 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.960 do get a lot of more comments? I should say, 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.640 so cool? Cool cool? It shouldn't make you feel good. 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:42.600 I appreciate the feedback. Yes, I'm very excited. You know. 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.919 I'm gonna be a hundred percent honest with you. I'm 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.000 a little bit hungover because I went to the Cary 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.080 Underwood concert last night, so we are. Yes. I saw something. 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.839 I saw a tweet here of yours this morning when 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.920 I was getting up super early, and I was like, today, 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.360 it's gonna be a rough day. When I read something 0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:00.120 that says my buzz has worn off, it's past my 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:04.360 bedtime and I shouldn't have eaten cake. I was like, today, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.559 it's gonna be really cool. I woke up and saw 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.600 that I treated that. I was like, what in the 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:15.280 world was I possibly thinking? It was hilarious? Yes it was, 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.399 I know the moment that this happened, but I still like, 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:21.399 woke up and things were a little fuzzy. Yeah, it 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.760 was a good time, but I am I'm struggling struggle bus. Yes, 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.160 you know, we got a lot going on, so but 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.720 this may be a little chaotic. That's fine. I'm good 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.040 with it. That's who we are, so that makes sense. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.800 We're going to kick things off at Lunchbox. He used 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.000 the water bottle test to see if his wife is cheating. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.960 And this is just kind of a whole thing in 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.760 itself because it came from TikTok and Lunchbox trying it 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.320 on his wife, and his wife is way too smart 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.480 for that. She's like, what are you doing? But he 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.200 got audio of the whole thing, and we've basically found 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.800 out if she's cheating on him, and yeah, spoiler, she's not. 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.240 But you'll see that here in the mid there. Our 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.880 foods apparently that are very unique to the United States, 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.680 And I want to know if you were to move abroad, 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.600 which one of these could you live without without? Okay yep. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.440 So like you go abroad, you're like, never gonna have 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.680 these again, that's okay, okay, or you're gonna try and 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.079 smuggle them into Europe to bring it on you exactly. Yeah. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.440 Peanut butter, peanut butter, that's only in America. Yep. So 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:25.120 like there's from my understanding, there might be versions of these, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.840 but these are like these legit, like they don't taste 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:29.799 the same. They could be a version of peanut butter, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:31.880 but it's not the peanut butter that you know and 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.400 love here. It's only in Okay, got I think I'd 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.960 be okay with that because overseas they got nutella and 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.120 things like that. So I could survive. Yeah, And you know, 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.040 I've as i've gotten older, I really love almond butter. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.639 Almond yes, however, peanut butter, oh yeah, yeah, it's delicious. Yeah. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:49.120 And I didn't anticipate that because when I first made 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.600 this orch, I was like, this is terrible. But now 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:55.680 I'm like, I love almond butter. Yeah, so something about it. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:57.560 So I'm with you. I think I could go without it. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.680 But yeah, I do love nutella when they put them 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.519 in like the crepes, oh yeah, oh my gosh, yeah yeah, 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.480 oh yeah, and a crape. Woh yeah, a little crystal. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.440 My grandma used to make us crapes. Grand us to 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.400 make us crepet a little crepe maker. But except where 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.560 we were, we were like sugar kids. So the only 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.320 thing I'm sure crapes I found out as an adult. 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.240 They are more than just what we had. But we 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.040 just in our crapes solely. It was just the crepe 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.280 and then she'd put like powdered sugar down the middle, 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.440 like it was cocaine or something. She lined it with. 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.320 She lined it with with sugar cocaine, and then rolled 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.200 it up like a joint. And that was like our 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.280 breakfast on the weekend. Oh my god, the sugar and 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.080 a crape. Do you do this with your kids? Now? 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.400 Have you passed on the tradition? I haven't yet because 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:37.920 I need to get that crepe maker. I haven't seen 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.560 it anywhere. It's one of those like asking on TV 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.080 things from the eighties, and my Grandma's got it. So 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.280 when next time I'm back home in Orlando, I'm gonna 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:45.840 sneak it and take it. I was gonna say, you 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.320 may have to take it, because I don't think she's 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.600 making crepes anymore. I don't think she is either. Yeah, 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.360 I don't think she get her wrists or two weeks 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.600 now she didn't pick anything up. Yeah, oh my goodness. Okay, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.960 barbecue sauce, Oh, that'd be really tough. I would I 0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.600 could make my own barbecue sauce. So I guess I 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.360 could live with at it because i'd make it. How 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.600 would you make it? So I make a Carolina version 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.360 type barbecue sauce. Yeah, From off the top of my head, 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.920 it's like it's usually like a sweeter based one, so 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.920 I'll put like brown sugar to keep it sweet. But 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.160 I think it's from I get in the room. Off 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.280 top of my head. It's like a vinegar um ketchup, 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:22.600 brown sugar, sugar, mustard, and like a few other things 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.520 and you boil it on a pot. And isn't that 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:30.599 weird about barbecue sauce how it's made with other sauces? Yeah? 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.960 I think about the people that love barbecue sauce especially, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.800 and maybe you know some of the places that are full, 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.159 like restaurants, they don't. Maybe they use different things, but 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.880 the fact that, like the thing that you're remembering has 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:48.640 ketchup and mustard in it exactly condiments to make a condiment. Yeah, okay, 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:52.560 So homemade barbecue sauce instead of the store bought Yeah, yeah, 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.320 I like it. I could live without it because I 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.359 don't eat meat. Okay, true for you yet, so it 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.000 just really kind of goes the wayside anyway. Yeah, meat condiment. Yeah, 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.200 I I do really love this is a strange thing, though. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.080 There's a place in town called Tailgate Brewery that I love, 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.920 and they make homemade chips and they put barbecue sauce 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.880 like smothered in them with like melted cheese. That sounds 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.200 awesome and it's amazing. I love homemad chips when they 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.160 slice the potato and it's like out but a chip. Yeah. Yeah. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.880 Go to Tailgate Brewery and they make like these loaded 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.480 homemade potato chips, barbecue sauce, cheese. You can get meat 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.520 on them, and they're served with ranch. Tailgate Brewery, Yes, 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.280 it sounds like it. Is that a national chains. I 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.680 don't think so. I've only seen it here, okay, but 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.400 there's a few of them in town. Okay, so they've 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.000 kind of chained in Nashville, that's the thing. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.760 so it's like a maybe a local chain, yes, and 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.039 they have good beer and everything. But yeah, you will 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.000 love this place. Okay, all right, Cool. I don't think 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.960 I've ever seen it. Yeah, it sounds really but I've 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.240 never seen it before. H there's one in Midtown. You 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:50.919 probably have driven by it, but I go to the 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.040 headquarters one. That's the really cool one. Very kid friendly too. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.960 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, ive seen this before. Okay, cool, 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.400 you would like those really like barbecue sauce. Yeah, I do. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.760 About Cereal Cereal, they don't have Cereal anywhere else but here. 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.280 This is truly an American thing. Yep. Somebody said they 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:08.880 moved abroad and they're like, I really miss seeing the 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.760 aisles of Cereal because it's just not think you know, 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.320 and especially in like Europe and some of these other places. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.000 Our food, based on what I've seen on TikTok, our 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.920 food is just so sugary and so processed, and that's 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:26.160 just really not how most of the other countries foods are. Yeah, 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.440 I've seen that. And then our portions or like Americans 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.440 are so dang fat. They're like, you eat so much, 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.760 so much sugar. Dad. It's like, yeah, but it's but 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.400 you're not living a good life because we got some 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.360 damn good food over here, and I'm okay with it. Yeah, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.279 we're all addicted. Is that I'm okay with onset diabetes. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.520 I don't give a crab. Give me that damn sugar. 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.800 I want it, yep. So so what about Cereal? Could 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.200 you live without it? I could not live without Cereal. 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.400 There was no way. You're not doing well so far, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:48.960 I would not do it. That's why I haven't left 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.880 a Maria. I mean I'll travel. I mean the first 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.159 I've traveled is places that are still close enough to America, 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.160 like the Bahamas and Mexico. You're gonna be that guy 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.360 that smuggles in with your suitcase of food. I'm bringing 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.320 some Cereal. Yeah, hell yeah, okay, number one Cereal for you. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.680 Number one Cereal. I think as a kid, it was Oh, 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:08.920 I liked Lucky Charms, but I was always pissed because 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.640 my sister would get the box before we could, Like 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.360 as soon as we come back from the PX, which 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.800 is like this navy bass type shopping thing, she would 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.440 come back with a box of Lucky Charms that fffing afternoon, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.880 she'd open it up and I'd hear her eating all 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.760 of the marshmallows, and so the next morning we'd wake 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.600 up and they'd just be the freaking you know the 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.600 other parts of the Lucky Charms no one wants. So yeah, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.280 I like Lucky Charms, but I never really got it 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.560 until I was an adult. Let's say, my adult cereal 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.440 will be Lucky Charms because I finally got to have 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.280 the marshmallows yepin for you. Yeah, but as a child, 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.840 this sounds really weird, but I grew up with my grandparents, 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.680 so I used to love and I still love the 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:46.160 oatmeal squares. I have seen them. I don't know what 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:48.600 their like official name is. I mean it's a oatmeal. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.040 It's like Quaker Oats oatmeal squares, okayqua girls. So it's 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.560 not Kelloggs, the like one brand that I know. No, no, no, no, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:57.080 I believe it, like you know the Quaker old guy, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:58.880 let the cartoon guy with the blue hat. I know 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.280 them because of oatmeal, but I don't know him from cereal. Yes, 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.640 it's not a cereal that most children are Probably any 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.400 children would ever order or ask for. But it looks 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.840 like this, and it's usually like a brown sugar flavor. 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.080 I mean, I'm sure you've seen it on the aisle. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.040 Oh yeah, okay, I have seen that, but you've never 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.000 picked it up, because why the hell would you get this? Yeah, 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.680 I know, out of all the options, that's not what 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.000 I would choose. It's a it's an over seventy person 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.560 type cereal, which is why I had it because my grandparents. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.360 But man, I'll tell you what. I could eat six 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.119 or seven of those bulls sometimes in a Sunday morning, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.800 or if we were to skip school and stay home 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.520 and watch Prices ride, I would slam some quicker O. 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:36.160 I mean, does it taste like the brown sugar cinnamon oatmeal? U? 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.280 So I don't like oatmeal, So I don't know. I've 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.080 helped meal once and I almost throw up. Okay, well, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.600 let me tell you this is the best. Like the 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.080 only option for oatmeal is this brown sugar cinnamon. Just 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:48.560 like you know how the pop tart? Have you had 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.720 the brown sugar? Yeah? Like clutch, don't teo me don't 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.559 have pop tarts overseas either? Is that on the list 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.040 or we don't. That's not on the list, but I 0:08:56.080 --> 0:09:01.200 don't think it's gonna be So if it's got sugar 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.920 in it, it tastes good. It's not gonna be overseas, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.640 probably not. If it's a processed yeah, it's probably not okay, 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.800 but yeah, og og taste. So like, that's what I 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.520 think of when I think of these oltmeal squares. So 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.800 did it have like this very kind of sugar Cinnamy 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.800 send them in the taste too? It did. It was 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.160 very plain and bland, but then that sugar would come 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.600 through and kick, especially when you drink the milk afterwards 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.240 you can taste it. Oh my god that I love 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.199 it so much. And I think I also loved Honeycombs 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.280 as well. I remember Honeycombs. Yeah, like, but out of 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.800 all the fruity like sugary options, these are the two 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.600 that you're choosing. I mean, if I could, if I 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.240 only Kitty One Cereal for the rest of my life, 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.200 it'd be Omeal squares and I'd be okay. Yeah, it's 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.400 I think I saw him that box too. They got 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.280 like ten grands approaches, like a healthy cereal seven year 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:45.920 old eating that like that was like I loved it 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.440 well in all fairness. Yeah. The cereal that I loved 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.880 growing up was Raising Brand. Okay, so it's kind of okay, Yeah, 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.800 it is kind of also an old person cereal, which 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:56.960 I love it brand too. My dad ate it and 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.679 it was always at the house and we even always 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.400 had fruity pebbles. But let me tell you what I 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.560 did with this raisin bran. Okay, it might have been healthy, 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.240 the great choice because it had raisins and all fins 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.120 and you know, the good cereal in it. But what 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.280 I did, and this is probably why I liked it, 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.400 is I doused it and put more sugar in it. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:17.000 I had. I had this cereal and then I had milk, 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.120 and on the top of it, I would just douse it. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:25.400 Don't ask me how I learned or figure this out. Yeah, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.400 but for years I couldn't eat Raisin Brand without sugar 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.800 on top of it, and it already had so much 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.240 sugar it does those I feel like those raisins because 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.640 they're the way they're processed. They're like pactful sugar pellets. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:39.719 Oh yeah, this is not a healthy cereal, like it 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.640 disguises itself as one because the green side of it. Yeah, yeah, 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.080 it is not it, especially how I ate it. It 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.200 isn't no, and it gave me gas. I remember I 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:53.800 was farting all day long. People cet. Yeah, first my 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.560 grandpa would fart and then I would follow with some 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:57.240 hearts of it, and then the whole house would just 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.640 smell awful. Oh my god, that's funny. So this is 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.280 why you're sticking to the oatmeal sea that makes sense? 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.960 Less gassy. Yeah. Now I've you know, at least brought 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.560 in my horizons. And now my really big favorite is 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.959 when they put the and this is a new one. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.520 They released fruity Pebbles with marshmallows. Oh cool, okay, so 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.160 good because I love fruity pebbles and cocoa pebbles. Yes, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.920 and it's like if you mix Lucky Charms and fruity pebbles, 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.760 but like the best parts of them. Yeah, it's like 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.720 TGI F Fridays. Did you ever watch that? Oh yeah, 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.800 Like you'd be on the you watch Failing Matters and 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.600 someone from Step by Step would come on the show 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.240 and you're like, whoa, yeah, Susanne Summers on the set 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:35.160 of it, like I'm possible, like the best day ever? 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:36.760 Did She had to rush over to her other set 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.600 because their shows about the start in twenty minutes. How 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.320 is she going to do this? Yeah, that's so cool. 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.360 So it's exactly like that. It's like combining all your 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.600 favorite things. That's so badass. I'll have to try that now. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.960 Oh you'll love it. Because my oldest is almost five 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.480 now and he's like, he loves cereal and so I'm 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.240 all about like reliving the cereal again with him. Oh 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.320 my gosh. Yes, it's so good. Okay, and it should 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.160 still be out there. I think they kept it because 0:11:57.160 --> 0:11:59.240 it performed really well, so it was limited time and 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.120 then and they were like, got to keep it. I think, 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.920 don't bote me on that, but I believe it's still 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.560 out there. Oh yeah, okay, cool, there's there's our Cereal 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.120 chat for the day. All right. What about Kraft mac 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.800 and cheese? Um? Yeah, I can live. I mean as 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.439 a kid, I couldn't, but now as an adult, I 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.480 really don't care. My son couldn't live with that because 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.960 he loves macaroni and cheese. But again, I can make 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.720 homemade macaroni and cheese. Yeah, And there's so many versions 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.240 of like pasta cheese basically at this point that especially 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.839 probably in Europe you could totally evolve. Oh my god, yeah, 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.200 you're all. You're near Italy. You can get really good 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.880 homemade pasta from people who created pasta. Yes, I feel 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.000 like that what we could do without. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.640 Speaking of another bad meal that I had growing up, 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.559 I U see mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and bread 0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.760 with butter. That was my dinner. He's my sister. Well, 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.720 I was vegetarian, like my parents are, like, what do 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:49.560 we feed you? And cheese? Everything was cheese. It was 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:54.080 grilled cheese, cheese, pizza, mac and cheese, like they had 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.079 one food group. True, especially back then too, the vegetarians, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.400 especially where you grew up in Kansas, people were probably 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.240 Wade Charring, What the what the hell's wrong with your kid? Yeah, 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.120 there wasn't like veggie options of come on the South, 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:06.920 forget about it was that was more like a West. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.840 Even in the West Coast it was still kind of newer. 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.640 Did you eat the velveta one where you could scrape 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.760 the cheese out of it? Oh? I did love velvet 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.880 I did, But listen that Kraft mac and cheese chef. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.000 If I ever genuinely am like so nostalgic and just 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.880 need like a taste of home. I make kraftmac and cheese, 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.600 I guess some homestyle golden potatoes masks, yeah yeah, And 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.800 then I get a slice of white bread not toasted. Yeah, 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:39.400 but aren't even toasted at least put them but it 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:42.920 was still good. I don't like. I genuinely look back 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.440 as my diet as a kid, and I scuba. I 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.120 was ripped. Like. Granted, I played a lot of sports, 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.680 so I think that really yeah, but the things that 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.120 I ate, oh my gosh, how is it possible that 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.000 I'm still here? I don't understand in any capacity. So yeah, 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:01.640 that that was my craps back and cheese day. So 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.640 that's my thing I can go without. Yeah, totally. That 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.160 does makes sense to think about now, Like you grew 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.040 up in an era where vegetarians weren't a thing, and 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:08.160 you live in an area where it was, and so 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.040 it must have been really difficult for your parents to 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.520 find things to feed you, Like, what the hell do 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:13.679 we feed? Or we don't even know what to do? 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.880 Oh yeah, Well, and I didn't like anything I was 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.000 at that time because I was so young. I didn't like, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.320 I didn't want broccoli. I want green beany kid. Yeah, 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:26.000 I wanted the best food and that was cereal and stuff, 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.720 cheese and carbon exactly. And as a parent, you're like, 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:30.120 as long as she's eating, I don't give a crab, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.080 ye whatever, who cares? That's what do you get to. 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.160 You're like, as long as she's fed and isn't angry, 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.680 feed or whatever she wants. Yep. But see that's the problem. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.160 Now my metabolism is all the same. I cannot eat 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.960 that stuff anywhere exactly. Yeah, I feel yeah, this is 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.680 this is why I have a gluten into all. Yeah. 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:50.480 Oh man, Okay, well we'll end it on this one. Ranch. Ranch. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.320 I don't give a crap about ranch at all. I 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.640 can go away forever. I think it's gross, all scuba, 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.560 I don't like ranch. Well, hey, speaking of cheese, Velveta 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.640 cheese is also on this list. Cool. That'd be tough, 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.880 but I can get over because I've progressed in life 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.120 past that. Okay, we've we've moved forward. Taco seasonings also 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.240 on this list. Seasoning I don't know. I mean, it's 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.160 it's in my it's in my pantry. I use it, 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:14.440 but I could go without it. Cornbread cornbread um at 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:15.760 one point in time, I would be like, hey, no, 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.000 I eat it, but but I'm over. I don't really care. Okay, 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.280 flame and hot Cheetos I don't care about. I don't 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.360 like flaming hot Cheetos yet I like Cheetos. You probably 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.120 care about the flaming ones. Yeah, And when the Bobby 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.560 shared that fun fact about Cheetos in the like World 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.240 War two how I created, I'm like, hey, we probably 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:36.520 should have looked into that more y. Yeah, scotchy maple syrup. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.840 Maple syrup would be tough because I love breakfast and 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.920 my breakfast person and I love me some syrup on 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.760 my waffles or pancakes. Yeah, i'd be real tough to 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.600 be without. How do you eat? How do you eat 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:51.479 like pancakes, fringe toes, waffles without maple syrup? Yeah? Yeah, 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.520 maybe they don't have those things. Is this so this 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.960 is overseas or this is outside of the United States 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:58.120 of America, outside of the units, because then I just 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.880 moved to Canada then, where they are big on maple syrup, 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:02.880 and I'd still be Okay, Yes, I think you should. 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.360 I think there's maybe some that have some of these, Okay, 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.400 but not what we are like you said, just not 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:10.720 what we're known to us. And then Reesee's peanut buttercups, 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.040 I'd be really hard and I love those. That was 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.240 a really every tough like I said, it's basically all 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.520 of our procests. Yeah. Although they have really good candy overseas, 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:20.640 like in Europe, like they have like the Kinders and 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.880 all that crap that they have. I think i'd I'd 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.840 be okay. I'd find something there I could enjoy. Yeah, 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.720 and freaking Belgium they have the whole like that's where 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.520 chocolate was made. Yeah, I think it would be okay. 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.320 I'd be able to find something similar to it, if 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.240 not better. But I do know that like when you 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.880 get cravings for things in nostalgia and then you can't ever, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.120 I have learned if I get a craving for something, 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:39.880 I can't make up for it. I just have to 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:43.720 like satisfy that craving in some capacity, or I'm just 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.120 gonna eat a bunch of stuff that's not going to 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.120 satisfy the craving. I'll try and they won't feel. I 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.160 remember my first moved to California. I was like, man, 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:53.320 I'm gonna miss me some public subsubs. I really want one. 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:54.800 And I went to a place called Safely, which is 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.080 like their version of publics and I went I remember 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:58.320 my first day at work and I wentever I was, 0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.760 I mean, I really want to sub, and like you, 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.760 I went to where they make their subs. It was fine, 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.120 but man, it wasn't a public sube at all because 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.960 it didn't come with a good sweet tea and those 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:09.840 those whatever, those Debt brand of chips they always had 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.920 as freaking amazing and so for like fifty almost fifteen years, 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.760 I was like, ah, you need it. He needed it's whatever. 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.560 I'd go back home to Orlando to visit family. I 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:19.080 was like, I need to go to public to get 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.200 a pub sub. I want to go to Tijuana Flats 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.720 and get their caso whatever thing, and I want to 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:25.679 go to the Ortlanta Magic Game. The three things that 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.120 I can't get over in California. Oh yeah, and those 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.640 are very specific to Florida, like there's no getting them 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.960 over there, No, not at all, know what notsoever I did. 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.680 I had my first pups up when I moved to Nashville. Okay, 0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.359 like maybe two years ago. I had my first one, damn, 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.400 because yeah, he didn't have Publics if a long time. 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.840 Publics was just in Florida. Yeah, the only recently expanded 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.280 outside to go for the North. Okay, that makes sense 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.920 for you. Yeah. So Hillary that used to work on 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.400 the shows from she's a huge public span And when 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.880 we had to go get food for a float trip, 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.920 She's like, we need Pubsuz. I'm like, what the heck 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:02.080 is a pub sub? I'm some bar and drink you like, 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.160 what are we doing? And yeah, she was right though, 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:07.160 and you are right. It is. Yeah, the most delicious 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.040 sandwich I think I've had. It compares to like how 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:11.600 you go and get pups Up. I go home and 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:15.600 get Good Sense, which is like my favorite sandwich place. Okay, 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.600 it's listen. I got a year of free sandwiches from 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:19.800 there when I was in college and it was the 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:21.840 best year of my life. So it's called good like 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.720 sense like like like since you've been going money, oh 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:28.359 like sense that sense? Good sense? Okay? Cool? Like what 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.679 was our signature thing that they were? It wasn't like 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:32.960 a pups up, but they just all their ingredients are 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.240 so fresh, like just they right then and there and 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.960 it was just everything about and they made this cheese mix, 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:41.320 which is my favorite sandwich, okay, where they pull like 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.000 five differ cheeses on it and it's like and I 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.800 eat cold sandwiches most of the time because I don't 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.000 have meat on them. Okay, it was just so good, 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.560 Like something about how they're ingredients the bread that they make, 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.040 I don't I can't explain it to you. Scuba. Well, 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:54.960 you have to explain to me how you got free 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.359 subs for a year though I endured a drawing and 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.800 I picture, yeah, my freshman year of college. Can you 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:03.640 imagine it's bad. I always put my name in those 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.520 damn boxes at the front where it's like get it's 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.000 usually get a free meal or whatever. I've seen the 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:09.399 ones where it's like free for a year, and they 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.280 never freaking pick me. Ever, I've never known anyone they 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:14.480 ever picks, which I always thought it was a bullcrap 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.880 contest that no one ever they just wanted you for 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.920 a mailing list or something. I never thought anyone ever 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:20.760 won these things. That is also true. Okay, did you 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.119 get put on a lot of mili Yeah? Yeah, I 0:19:22.119 --> 0:19:23.560 would get a lot of emails and phone calls and 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.919 text messages. They didn't want about their ten percent off 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.560 or whatever. But act you are a real person. That 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:29.840 one yep, and a year of free sandwiches. And let 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.840 me tell you, I use every bit of that as 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.200 a freshman in college. It's good sense still around. Oh yeah, 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.240 when I go home for Christmas, I always get one. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.520 Is it which at all? Yep? They have them in 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.879 like all of Kansas. Ye, good sense. Delhi Fresh Subs. 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:45.720 I think it's in the Midwest. I don't think it's 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.879 expanded past the Midwest, Okay, I believe Yeah, yeah, they 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.000 find your location. They have a whole map. Yeah, it's 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.440 really good. So it just like very fresh ingredients, okay 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:58.199 for like a good sandwich shop. And never underestimate a 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.600 good sandwich shop. Oh hell no, oh no, there's a 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.120 spot in the Bay that me and my wife it's 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:04.560 ane the most ones, like if we go back to 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:07.080 the Bay, we got to go there, mister pickles. And 0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:10.400 if I could expand en franchise them here in Nashville, 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.399 I would love to do that because Sam, like you, 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.520 it's all about the fresh ingredients. They're really really good. 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:17.480 They have really good bread that they put in there there, 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.600 like Cuban sweetbread. They usually use and then Dutch crunch bread, 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.840 and then they've got the fresh baked cookies and oh 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.239 it's just such a really really good sandwich shop. Like 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.879 I've found some places here and they're like, you know, 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.159 like I said, pops up and there's fine things, but 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:35.240 it just never compares to the one that you know 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.160 when you were love and remember. So your spot good 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:43.040 sense is all throughout Missouri, Kansas a little bit. Actually 0:20:43.040 --> 0:20:45.760 not even in Kansas. It's in Kansas City, but I guess, well, 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.560 so there's one in Manhattan, my collegetown in Kansas. When 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:50.960 I stop popping on the map, and then they have 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:55.280 Arkansas in Wichita, there's obviously two there. Yeah, they just 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:56.800 may not be on the map right there, but yeah 0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:01.480 they're definitely there. Okay, cool the West mid Do you 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:05.040 ever find yourself driving through Kansas. There's a bunch in 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:09.640 Saint Louis very cool. Hell yeah, they're really good, good chain. 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.880 I would definitely choose them over subway every day. Oh yeah, 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:15.840 they headquarters is De Soto, Kansas, so imagine where they 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:19.399 started maybe Okay, hey, Kansas, Kansas got the food. We 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.600 also are at the home of Pizza Hut, so hell yeah, 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.240 exactly pizza. It's awesome. Yeah, none of the nostalgic place 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:26.640 I know. Okay, we could talk about food all day. 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.240 This could turn into a food podcast. You and I 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.280 are going to be hungry and it's not gonna be pretty. 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.240 Now I'm hungry because I haven't had food yet. So sorry, 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:36.920 so sorry, but we had to talk about it. It's fine, 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:38.960 it's good. We did also have to talk about rejected 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:40.840 segments on the show this week that's coming in at 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.520 number six. But we're not going to talk about the 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.919 rejected segments. But this is one of my rejected segments 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.120 that didn't make it. I'm rejected or the show or anywhere. 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:55.080 It's dead. Yeah, it's dead here it's revived on the 0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:57.840 best bit. And I thought that's pretty funny because I 0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:59.280 need to tell you a story and I want to 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:01.480 know if this is a happened for you. Okay. The 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.560 question is, who's the wildest person you've caught sneaking a 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.879 peek at your Instagram stories? Okay? And the reason this 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.159 is getting brought up is because recently and I, you know, 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:16.520 amazingly have a lot of followers on there, and that's 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:18.080 really cool, and so most of the time I don't 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.160 really see anyone I know in my stories. It's just 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:25.040 a bunch of people. But one face looked very particular 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:27.840 this past week and she was popping up a few 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:31.280 times and it was my high school bully. Oh wow, 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:34.800 I bet you didn't see that one coming. No, be like, 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.280 and it was Tom Cruise, Like, whoa, I mean that 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.560 would be really really cool. Holy crap, that's hilarious. I 0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:44.160 was like, your best friend. Now, I love everything you do. 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:47.159 I mean, she's definitely very curious about what I do 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.959 and what I've been up to. And I saw her 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.120 and she did it a few days, like it wasn't 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.400 just one day, and like, you know, accidentally saw it 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:55.919 was a few days. So I don't even know if 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.879 maybe she's still looking at it and she's like, you know, 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:01.520 a fan of the show. Something has happened. But I'm like, 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:06.520 oh my gosh, have the tables turned? Yeah? Oh yeah. 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.960 So that that was my very interesting moment. I saw 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.080 this happen, and I was like, I and all the 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.199 things that I ever thought to happen, that was not 0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:15.000 one of them, not at all. If you get a 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.560 DM that says, hey, Bud, chance you could any Morgan 0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:20.720 Wall on tickets of him, then you know the objective 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:22.879 and the agenda here. Oh yeah, but listen, there was 0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:25.280 never a you know, that was never fixed, that was 0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:28.360 never reconciled. Like it's still still up in the air. 0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.960 It's still not a consituation. Got it? Cool? Cool? Cool? 0:23:32.560 --> 0:23:35.520 So that's mine. Wow, Okay, what about you? So I 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:36.720 was thinking I had a couple of them, and I 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.080 was thinking about the one from a while back, and 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:41.040 it was on Twitter, and it was even more. It 0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:44.440 was so weird. You ever heard of Devin Sawa saw 0:23:44.680 --> 0:23:47.560 He most recently was in the Chucky TV show franchise, 0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.199 but he was the teenage heartthrob in the nineties. He 0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.240 was in Casper a little Giants. Oh okay, yes, he 0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.240 looks familiar like he was. The final Destination was his 0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:57.480 big one. So he was in a lot of like 0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.399 nineties two thousands and just kind of just went appeared 0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:02.439 for a while. Yeah, which I respect because I was like, oh, 0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:04.600 this guy went away, had kids, did a family thing, 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:07.879 and took all his nineties money and just living it up. 0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.240 And then one day, it was like maybe five years ago, 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:13.080 he'd posted something and I commented and then he he 0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:16.280 never comments back. To anyone, and he was like, Scuba Effins, 0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:19.080 are you the real Scuba eff and Steve? And I 0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.480 was like and I was like, what Devin Sawa knows 0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.640 who I am? Well, that's happening right now? What's what? What? 0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:26.560 What world do I live in? Because I just remember 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:27.879 him being like this kid I would see on the 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.200 on the screen like and I wanted to be him. Yeah, 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:31.320 as a kid, I want to I want to be 0:24:31.359 --> 0:24:33.159 an actor and I would be just like Devin Sawa. 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:35.399 Was he in these movies? Was he the kid or 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.320 was he like a dad because he's a kid. No, 0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.080 so he's a dad now. But when he was in 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.960 the movies, like he was like the JTT era Jonathan 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.840 Taylor Thomas. So he was always like the the guy 0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:47.040 that everyone was like, the heart throb. And then in 0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:51.000 Final Destination he was like the main character and Final Destination, Um, 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.160 I think he's one that kept living all throughout them 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.080 or whatever. But yeah, he played that. That was his 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.560 character and then just kind of disappeared and came back 0:24:57.560 --> 0:24:59.840 recently and now he does acting, but now he's much older. He' 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.840 adult and different, you know, different person. But I was like, 0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:04.840 oh my god, you know what the hell? And then 0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:06.320 and then he followed me and now him and I 0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:07.800 tweet all the time and stuff. I'm like, what the 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:10.160 hell is happening right now? Still to this day, you guys. Yeah, 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:13.200 it's crazy. Yeah, just like all his work and wild. 0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:16.680 That is wild, still acting, still acting. Yeah. The most 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:18.480 recent thing he did he did a Bruce Willis movie 0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:21.200 and then he did the you know, Chucky the Doll. 0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:23.159 They came out with a new TV show franchise and 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:25.119 he was in that for a few episodes or a 0:25:25.160 --> 0:25:27.600 season or two, so he still doing light acting again. 0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:29.680 But I was like, wow, it's really cool. Devin saw 0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.840 what the hell it's crazy? That is a wild That's 0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:33.399 a good one. What the hell is so cool? And 0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:36.960 then on Instagram to fit the theme of that. Recently, 0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.560 it was at at the Cmas, I posted a picture 0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:41.920 in front of the guitar and a guitar in front 0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.240 of the drum set of the Black Keys drummer. Oh yeah, 0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:46.159 Patrick Carney, and I tagged him in it and I 0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:48.199 was tagging one in it, and then he reposted it, 0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:50.119 and then he followed me, and then he started like 0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:53.440 looking at my stories and liking things and coming on things. 0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:55.760 By his kids stuff or whatever, and I was like, whoa, 0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.280 because I've loved the Black Key since like two thousand 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.840 and thirty. So basically, you guys are bff. I guess so. 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:03.440 But so at the Million Dollars Show, because he's married 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:06.080 to Michelle branch Oh, I didn't know that. So at 0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:07.920 the Million Dollars Show he was there and I had 0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:10.000 this moment where I was like, oh, do I say 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:11.600 anything that I go up to him, like what do 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.280 I do? And he was like standing right there, so 0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:16.200 like backstage on the if you're looking at the stage 0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.800 on the left side, we were all hanging out over there, 0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:20.280 and I like where you come in from those doors. 0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:22.160 We came from the back area and he just buy 0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.360 all the posters that everyone signs. He just and he's 0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:26.359 very like he sticks out like a sore thumb because 0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:28.560 he's like a tall dude, Like I do I know 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.840 you're talking about now? Just because of this description, very 0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:34.520 like hipster looking guy all by himself, like kind of 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.680 thumbing on his phone, very like LA. And we had 0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:41.240 his other counterpart here in studio when we had Hank 0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:45.240 Williams Junior in Dan Hour back, so he was the 0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.879 cord they go with the sunglasses that was playing, and 0:26:48.000 --> 0:26:50.120 Bobby's asking him what what's like working with Hank Williams 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:52.240 and stuff? So he does they so they have a 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.080 group and then he does his own thing on his 0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:55.639 own too. But so we met him, and when we 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:57.720 met him, I was really nervous. I've never been nervous 0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:00.560 before to meet people, except for like bands. I really like, Yeah, 0:27:00.600 --> 0:27:03.080 you guys in like these rock bands, man, like they 0:27:03.160 --> 0:27:05.760 get you. Oh yeah, totally get me. So then when 0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:08.159 I saw him there, I'm like, I was so nervous, 0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:10.280 and I kept toying with like going to talk to him, 0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:12.359 not talking to him, And then when I find mustlet 0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:14.199 up the Courage.

But you ever 0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:20.240 be a best online? I know, but I was so nervous, 0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:21.920 and when I finally out the Courage, it was too late, 0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:24.879 and I was like, oh, Scooba, I'm so disappointed. I 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:26.200 told my wife and she said, what the hell's wrong 0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:27.520 with you? She's like, if you follow each other on 0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:29.359 Instagram and you talk to him me, he looks at 0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:30.960 your stuff. It's like, just say something to him.

He wasn't even working, I know, 0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:47.160 and I have like no real friends, so you give 0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.840 him my real friend here in Nashville. Hey, I feel 0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:54.760 offended now I just resent that well not real, but 0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:57.359 I thought I'm kidding. I met more like, you know, 0:27:57.560 --> 0:27:59.080 like people who like who have like like a kid, 0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:02.640 like my wife from like, hey he turned bright red.

No, 0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:16.600 I'm never gonna see m again because we're never gonna 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:18.080 have that moment. It'll never be there. And he was 0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.000 like it was almost the universe was telling me as 0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:21.480 he's he was like standing there.

And now 0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:45.640 I don't know when that moment ever happening. Now, I 0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:49.760 would like to point out how you can see how 0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:52.560 it's really hard to meet people in person for dating, 0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:55.040 because that is what it's like. You're like the anxiety, 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:58.480 very attractive. Yes, great, I should go up to him. 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:02.240 Never going to happen. Yeah, just missed opportunity. Yeah, it's 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.400 lung gone. And then you just had that moment with 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.400 your man. Yeah yeah, I know you could have had 0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:10.360 a whole man crushed best friend bromance situation and you 0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:14.880 didn't let it happen. I didn't. That's my fault, dang me. 0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:18.680 So yeah that I would say, like, hey, it could 0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.320 happen again, but I just don't see that happen again. 0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:22.920 So let's just be really here. Unless I happen to 0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:25.160 see him at the same place again that next time, 0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:28.840 it's just no, it's dead. It's dead. Scuba. Well, you 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.560 know what, you still have your moments on Instagram and yeah, 0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.479 you can safely say that We'll keep making you happy. Yeah, 0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:37.720 I'm trying to find like a silver lining. I know 0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:42.320 there isn't a silver lining. You know. He lost out 0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:49.920 because I'm awesome coming and had up in number five spot. 0:29:49.960 --> 0:29:52.120 Bobby shared how he got started in radio after a 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.640 listener called in and kind of wanted his story. So 0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:58.440 short story version, Scuba, what's yours? Because Abby and I 0:29:58.520 --> 0:30:00.240 on a recent Best Bits we like talked about the 0:30:00.240 --> 0:30:02.120 evolution of our careers, which was really fun, So I 0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:04.600 want to hear yours. So mine, I mean the iteration 0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:06.480 of it of just getting into the radio side and 0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:09.440 skipping everything leading up to it is My original plan 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.360 was to attack from the inside. And what I mean 0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:15.040 by that was I was in a band and there 0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:18.200 was a local radio station called WJRR, and it was 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.200 like the station that into this day is still the 0:30:20.240 --> 0:30:24.680 powerhouse rock station. Stations have come and gone and couldn't 0:30:24.680 --> 0:30:27.320 compete against them. They literally have killed other stations across 0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:30.400 the street because it's that powerful of a radio station. Wow, 0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.640 Like it's super power, Like it just rules that market. 0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.479 And Orlando's a very big rock market. Country and rock 0:30:35.520 --> 0:30:38.080 also bled so you got that. But it's that's the 0:30:38.120 --> 0:30:40.680 station in Orlando besides XEL, which is the pop station. 0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:44.440 So they do a weekend thing called Native Noise, and 0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:47.480 it was all about you know, like local bands and stuff. 0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.440 And so my plan was to get a job in 0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:53.400 radio to infiltrate and then get my bands music on 0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:57.560 the radio. Oh was this your scream o band where 0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:00.440 you're the lead scream singer? Yeah, yeah, the leads. I 0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:01.760 don't know if that's how what it's called, but that's 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.440 just how I was called it. Lead screamery, I lead vocalists. Okay, 0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:08.760 it actually it's called the lead scream yeah okay. So 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:12.000 the plan was to take this and bring it in 0:31:12.000 --> 0:31:14.160 inside and get on the radio. And so that was 0:31:14.200 --> 0:31:17.080 my whole plan. And then in that plan it obviously 0:31:17.160 --> 0:31:20.040 turned into much more. It turned into a career. But 0:31:20.160 --> 0:31:22.080 when I went in there and I had to work 0:31:22.080 --> 0:31:23.560 a lot like it was. I was an intern, so 0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:25.240 I was working for the I wasn't even on the 0:31:25.320 --> 0:31:27.240 rock station yet. I got an in with the pop 0:31:27.320 --> 0:31:30.280 station XL one or six seven, so I had to 0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.720 get my way in but threw away to get to 0:31:32.760 --> 0:31:34.600 the next end. And so I didn't have a job 0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:35.840 with the rock station yet, but it was there and 0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:37.200 the cluster. You know how it is when you're working 0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:40.200 for any company or our job. Everyone mingles, everyone's in 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:43.640 the same building. It's all right there. So I was like, Okay, well, 0:31:43.640 --> 0:31:45.560 at least I'm in, and I'm gonna just network and 0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:48.560 talk to the rock guy and figure this thing out. 0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:52.520 And my time and dedication to this. It was an 0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:55.440 internship first, and then a position was I was working 0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:58.200 like seven days a week. I was working the morning show, 0:31:58.280 --> 0:31:59.720 and I was staying as long as I could to 0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:02.280 just do whatever I could. And then the hours and 0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:05.560 time went into this job, and then they were starting 0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:07.800 to get butt hurt because I wasn't coming to band 0:32:07.840 --> 0:32:10.600 practice or we couldn't schedule any more shows because I 0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:12.200 was so busy because I was working on this. And 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:14.360 I was like, but no, guys, this is the plan. 0:32:14.440 --> 0:32:16.360 We have to work on this like, I'm going to 0:32:16.440 --> 0:32:18.680 get in and I'm in. Now, I'm in, I'm in, 0:32:19.040 --> 0:32:22.360 so just be patient, and of course, and then other 0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:24.440 things happened, and then the band ended up breaking up 0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:27.200 because I wasn't around anymore and I was constantly doing 0:32:27.200 --> 0:32:30.120 this work thing. So what ended up being the plan 0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:32.200 to get in to play the music ended up being 0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:34.720 my way to get in to start a career. I 0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:40.080 love this yep and Steve yeah, and so it worked 0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:42.200 out for me as far for me, not for the band. 0:32:42.560 --> 0:32:45.040 And I always had aspirations anyways, just an entertainment as well. 0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.160 So it also kind of filled buckets of wanting to 0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:49.920 always be on Nickelodeon, which was in my backyard. Nickelodeon 0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:52.880 Studios was there in Orlando Disney, so I always wanted 0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:55.520 to be an actor, so this kind of like filled 0:32:55.520 --> 0:32:57.760 that and got me into entertainment. So I was like, okay, cool, 0:32:57.760 --> 0:33:00.280 So the band's no longer together, but now I'm filling 0:33:00.320 --> 0:33:03.240 this need for the entertainment side of me. And I 0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:04.920 was like, well, hell if it, I'm just gonna the 0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:07.240 band's over. I'm just gonna pursue what I want. And 0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:09.000 so I just kept grinding at it and then it's 0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:13.520 funny enough. I got laid off from the Xcel Morning Show, 0:33:13.800 --> 0:33:15.440 and like three months later, I got a phone call 0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:17.680 from the rock guy who I was networking with, and 0:33:17.720 --> 0:33:19.800 he's like, hey man, I got an opportunity coming up. 0:33:19.840 --> 0:33:23.040 Just laylo or you know, I got something. And then 0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:25.400 sort not three months later from the layoff to then 0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:27.680 I got hired. I'm by the rock guy. So I'm like, 0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:30.080 if this band would have waited, I'm now on the 0:33:30.160 --> 0:33:33.680 rock side, Like I'm here now I manifested it. I'm here, 0:33:33.680 --> 0:33:36.280 but now there's no band, there's no music to put out. 0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:39.080 Did you ever even though the band was still not there, 0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:41.960 did you ever play your music? No? We never had 0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:45.360 anything recorded. We had like these like little crappy eight 0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:48.800 track like cassette recordings. It wasn't like a studio recording, 0:33:48.960 --> 0:33:51.040 got it. You didn't have anything to play, nothing to 0:33:51.120 --> 0:33:53.880 play really. But I figured that within this process I 0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:56.000 would get in and then we'd I'd meet people to 0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:58.280 be able to go to a recording studio, get recording time, 0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.320 or use the studio to record something decent. Police play 0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:04.240 on that like the main shows like Money their Friday, 0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.240 but at least the weekend native noise. I could at 0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.480 least get in there and put it on there with 0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:11.680 LT and and I was like, but they were gone, 0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.480 and so they lost their opportunity. But then it worked 0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:16.719 out for me because again it started his career and 0:34:16.760 --> 0:34:18.560 then then but then when I got in with him, 0:34:18.600 --> 0:34:20.719 then we started it was a sports station, and then 0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:22.080 he had me work at the rock station. Then I 0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:24.399 end up going back to the morning show at XL 0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:26.000 with Johnny and working with them, and then I was 0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:29.040 working like every day, all hours of the morning and 0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.759 night and never sleeping. But then it paid off because 0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:34.120 then I left Orlando and moved to San Francisco and 0:34:34.480 --> 0:34:36.799 did all that, and then San Francisco to LA and 0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:40.000 so was San Francisco. How long were you there for 0:34:40.239 --> 0:34:43.080 before you did LA and Seacrest? So I was there 0:34:43.360 --> 0:34:46.080 for about five six years, and I had moved there 0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:48.520 with no job because I quit my job in Orlando 0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:54.440 and moved with my was then fiance turned wife turned xploys. 0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:57.800 Okay yea her revolution she was my band in that chapter. 0:34:58.200 --> 0:35:00.920 Oh yeah, kind of go away. I guess you want 0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:04.080 to kind of parallel it, yeah, the parallels. Yeah, but 0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:06.960 for me it was it was a good thing because 0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:08.960 I would have never left Orlando and not saying that 0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:11.120 would have been fine. But I was always getting the 0:35:11.200 --> 0:35:13.480 carrot dangled of oh, you'll be full time one day, 0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:16.759 and I was working part time but not working part time, 0:35:17.040 --> 0:35:18.440 and I was okay with that because I knew that 0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:19.799 this is my grind and I loved it and I 0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:21.799 wanted to be there, and I was okay with it. 0:35:22.760 --> 0:35:24.399 But I never was I don't think I would whatever 0:35:24.400 --> 0:35:25.719 I mean, I would eventually got it, but it would 0:35:25.719 --> 0:35:28.359 have taken forever because it's a it's a market where 0:35:28.400 --> 0:35:30.040 if you're there, it's a bunch of homers and they 0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:32.239 have been there forever and they don't want to lose 0:35:32.280 --> 0:35:33.759 a job because it's a great gig, so they're do 0:35:33.880 --> 0:35:36.279 whatever it takes to keep their job because it's a 0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:38.440 great city and a great place to be on morning 0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:40.600 drive and have your own show, and you don't really 0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:43.320 lose that gig until someone retires, gets fired or dies. 0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.719 So I had to have that, you know that come 0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:48.600 to Jesus of all, it's never gonna come, or it's 0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:50.560 gonna be a long time. So I'm gonna go to 0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:55.480 San Francisco with my ex wife and I knew nothing 0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:58.719 about San Francisco. All I knew was the song California 0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:01.400 Girls Katy Perry. I think it was a song two 0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:03.279 thousand and eight and nine or whatever. I knew the 0:36:03.640 --> 0:36:05.640 forty nine ers, and that was it. I didn't even 0:36:05.640 --> 0:36:08.439 realize Oakland was across the bay, like that was that close. 0:36:08.480 --> 0:36:11.400 I had knew nothing geographically about San Francisco, packed up 0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:13.279 the U haul, drove across the country with her and 0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:17.200 two dogs, went to San Francisco with no job. I 0:36:17.239 --> 0:36:18.880 sent a few emails before I left the company to 0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:20.520 like the pds and stuff like hey, I'm coming in 0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:22.600 your area, my personal email if you want to meet cool, 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.200 and they all ended up responding, which was cool. So 0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:26.960 then when I got to ask stuff with no job, 0:36:27.000 --> 0:36:29.520 I met the PD of Wild ninety four nine, who 0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:32.040 was like the top forty station, And then I met 0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:34.839 the operations manager of the whole cluster, and I met 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:38.560 a couple other people, and and then that was another 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:41.760 thing where it was like three months later, the meetings 0:36:41.800 --> 0:36:45.800 turned into Hey, I've actually got an opening with Ryan Seacrest, 0:36:45.880 --> 0:36:48.520 like the affiliate thing here, and it's nothing that, not 0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:50.239 a morning show, not what you were wanting or what 0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:51.759 you were used here, what you came from, but it's 0:36:51.800 --> 0:36:53.680 still an in And I was like, I'm all about 0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:56.279 in because my end last time turning to more so 0:36:56.280 --> 0:36:59.479 I was like, yeah, I'll locally edited the Seacrest crap 0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:00.959 and put it on the air and do whatever whatever 0:37:00.960 --> 0:37:03.680 you need all literally, I would clean the boards, I'd 0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:07.319 do whatever the hell he needed to prove myself to him. 0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:09.880 And then that then was there was an opening. There 0:37:09.920 --> 0:37:12.040 was an opening on his morning show on the hat 0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:14.440 Ac station, which is Star one on one three with 0:37:14.480 --> 0:37:17.239 a guy named Don Blue who's legendary to the Bay 0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:18.799 like one of those guys who had been there since 0:37:18.800 --> 0:37:21.360 the seventies, and so he was like the staple of 0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:23.239 the Bay area. So then I got to work with 0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:26.280 him in his final three year two and a half years. 0:37:27.360 --> 0:37:29.520 I worked with him for about a year in change 0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:32.160 of that and kind of like re energized him and 0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:34.200 had fun with him and got to learn a lot, 0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:37.080 like this guy is full of knowledge and in a 0:37:37.200 --> 0:37:39.399 massive market like that, And so I learned a lot 0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:41.560 from him and got put under his wing. And then 0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:43.839 I positioned and then I got and I was like 0:37:44.239 --> 0:37:46.440 I was looking for something younger because I was in 0:37:46.520 --> 0:37:48.600 my twenties and I was like, I want like a fun, 0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:52.200 outgoing show. And that's when I met jav and Rico 0:37:52.280 --> 0:37:56.200 and that whole group at Wild and then I got 0:37:56.239 --> 0:37:58.640 that job as their executive producer and we started syndicating 0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:01.040 the show and all this stuff. So it was always 0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:03.440 like getting somewhere. I guess my whole point is for 0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:06.600 anyone listening to this is taking that opportunity, whether it 0:38:06.680 --> 0:38:09.680 be super small and insignificant. It's all about getting in 0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:12.600 and once you're in, the hardest thing in the world 0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:14.239 is to get into a company and get into a 0:38:14.239 --> 0:38:16.440 business that you're wanting to get in. But once you're in, 0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:19.719 you're in. You've now made it. You're in, and now 0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:23.520 it's all about navigating yourself within that company and networking 0:38:23.520 --> 0:38:25.560 and meeting the right people and busting your ass. I'm 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:29.840 proving yourself. Especially in the entertainment industry. Oh, especially entertainment industry. 0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:31.560 It's all people are like, Oh, I just want to 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.360 get on TikTok and blow up and become famous. F that, 0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:37.760 And if it is happening to you, congratulations, you got lucky. 0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:39.879 But it really takes a lot of grinding and hard 0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:43.840 work to make something in this industry and in my opinion, 0:38:43.880 --> 0:38:48.920 makes something that's credible. And I'm trying to find the 0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:52.000 right words. That's trying to put down any tech talk superstars. 0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:57.040 But there's a lot of grinding that's gone into your grinding. 0:38:57.080 --> 0:38:58.719 I didn't wake up one morning and shoot a video 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:03.879 of me in bed and when viral and someone someone 0:39:03.560 --> 0:39:07.600 really now whatever it's a podcast and someone someone do 0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:10.640 owed it and you became famous. F you. I grinded 0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:12.440 my ass off for years and years. It made no 0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:18.080 f and money. Oh hi, Remy, I told Chaos. Today's 0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:19.759 also in the studio. Yeah, I'm trying to hold my 0:39:19.800 --> 0:39:21.759 emotions back. We started talking about San Francisco and all 0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:24.479 that crap. But um so, I just I kept moving, 0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:26.360 kept moving, and kept moving up and moving up, and 0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:29.440 then learning a lot from like just like some of 0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:33.719 the most um I guess, instrumental people in the industry, 0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:36.920 especially on the West Coast. So it was really cool 0:39:37.040 --> 0:39:39.479 for me to learn from all these people, especially thinking 0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:41.319 back that my whole point was just to keep come 0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:44.000 into this business and get my music on the radio. 0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:47.120 And here I am doing all these things and meeting 0:39:47.120 --> 0:39:49.360 always really cool people and working with these amazing people. 0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:53.600 And then in that process of going on the JB Show, 0:39:53.880 --> 0:39:56.439 he gave me the courage because my wife was doing 0:39:56.440 --> 0:39:59.560 all these crazy things, mostly probably for content because he 0:39:59.560 --> 0:40:03.239 had got great content out of it, but encouraging me 0:40:03.320 --> 0:40:06.920 to leave her and be single and date and enjoy 0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:10.239 a city like San Francisco and the melting pot of 0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:13.360 the people that lived there and so many different cultures 0:40:13.440 --> 0:40:16.480 and it was a good experience. And then he then 0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:18.959 connected me with my now wife and that whole thing. 0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:24.759 And so then after San Francisco SAH, I went to 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:26.920 Seacrest and I left jav which is a really hard 0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:29.000 thing because he was kind of like a big brother 0:40:29.040 --> 0:40:31.600 and a father figure at that part of my life. 0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:34.399 So I left him and he was really mad about 0:40:34.440 --> 0:40:35.880 that because he thought I left him for Seacrest. But 0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:37.840 I didn't leave for Seacrest. I did another one of 0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.160 those moves where I always wanted to I always wanted 0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:41.719 to be in LA as a kid. That LA was 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:43.879 my thing. I've always wanted to be in LA, going 0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:45.239 back to when I was talking about how I wanted 0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:48.720 to be on Nickelodeon and Disney, LA was always something 0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:52.360 I always wanted and so when I was in San Francisco, 0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:53.440 I was like, oh my god, I'm so close to 0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.479 LA now. And I think I reached this feeling after 0:40:56.520 --> 0:40:58.120 being on a show for a few years of like 0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:00.719 this is cool, but man, I'm still miss saying like 0:41:00.760 --> 0:41:02.080 I've done so much in radio now, I've done a 0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:03.640 lot of cool things. I want to tack all the 0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:07.120 LA side of this. So then I wasn't any openings. 0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:09.799 I tried applying for jobs within the companies that moved 0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:12.440 down to LA and transfer I tried. I applied for 0:41:12.520 --> 0:41:14.800 Valentine's morning show on my FM a couple of times 0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:18.440 and didn't take me. And that's another fun story because 0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:20.440 then I ended up meeting him and working with him 0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:21.920 a lot in LA, and he was always like, damn, 0:41:21.960 --> 0:41:27.560 I should have hired you. So like all these really 0:41:27.600 --> 0:41:29.400 fun stories about how all my life parallels and I 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:30.920 ended up meeting people in the industry that I never 0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:33.080 thought i'd meet and work with, and people that had 0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:34.520 passed up on me that I ended up working with 0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:36.120 and gaining their respects. So it was like a really 0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:38.960 cool career that I've had here in radio. And then yeah, 0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:41.279 I went to LA with no money and um with 0:41:41.719 --> 0:41:46.400 my then new fiance, who then became ioked like, whenever 0:41:46.400 --> 0:41:49.319 I moved there was a transition personally and professionally. And 0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:50.960 we had just gotten engaged and I moved to LA 0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:53.200 without her. Yeah, you couldn't just you know, do a move, 0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:54.759 and that'd be a big thing. You had to go 0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:57.000 all out. I had to go ball to the wall. 0:41:57.239 --> 0:41:58.800 And she was staying in San Francisco because that was 0:41:58.840 --> 0:42:00.440 where she's from. She said, I'm not leave my family. 0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:02.720 I'm not going to LA with you. Yes we're engaged, 0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:05.080 but I'm not going with you until you've got something solidified. 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:07.600 Because I had moved there with no job, and then 0:42:07.640 --> 0:42:09.960 I got the doctor Phil job because I was like, well, 0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:12.560 I'm gonna leave radio f radio, which was tough because 0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:14.319 like I put so much into radio. I put ten 0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:16.920 plus years into this, worked really hard at it. But 0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:18.839 I was like, I really want to try this entertainment thing. 0:42:19.120 --> 0:42:21.319 And I got to drive my Honda Civic on the 0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:24.200 Paramount lot and see all these cool things and work 0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:26.600 with doctor Phil and all those people. I did that 0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:28.200 for about six months, and then I got the phone 0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.399 call from Dennis Clark, who was a guy I worked 0:42:30.440 --> 0:42:33.480 with in San Francisco consulting with shows, and he would 0:42:33.480 --> 0:42:35.520 consult our show and he's like, hey man, he goes, 0:42:35.520 --> 0:42:38.080 I hear you're in LA I'm like yeah, and he's like, well, 0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:40.439 I got a job with Ryan Seacrest.

And I'm like, oh 0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:47.520 my god, I'm like yeah, dude. Like five years ago, 0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:50.120 I used to put together the affiliate show like I 0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:52.200 never thought that I would ever be able to. And 0:42:52.200 --> 0:42:53.839 then I used to watch American Idol in the early 0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:56.960 two thous like, well, yes, I'll entertain the offer, Like 0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:58.480 what the hell is this?

Okay, you're fine, 0:43:02.680 --> 0:43:04.719 you're good. You'll just give me a beat. And then 0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:06.759 so like a week later, he's like, okay, I want 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:09.600 you to meet this woman Claudine. She's ahead of the operations. 0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:11.440 And I'm like, oh my god. So I go through 0:43:11.440 --> 0:43:13.879 this whole interview process and then I meet the guy 0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:15.640 who was job I was taking because he was leaving 0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:18.200 to go take Valentine's job. The guy that I had 0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:21.239 applied for a few months before this, and I'm like, well, 0:43:21.280 --> 0:43:24.319 this is like so serendipitous. And then I meet him 0:43:24.320 --> 0:43:26.000 and it was a guy name is Brian Burden. I 0:43:26.080 --> 0:43:28.799 used to get his affiliate emails in San Francisco like 0:43:28.800 --> 0:43:30.719 five years ago, and I'm like this whole thing. I'm like, 0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:32.520 oh my god, I get to meet you, Brian. I'm like, 0:43:32.640 --> 0:43:35.600 I used to get your emails. So many full circle moments, 0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.000 so many full circle moments. And anyone who's listening to 0:43:38.000 --> 0:43:40.680 this who was an affiliate of mine on the Seacrest 0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:43.600 End and now Bobby Bones show side, like whenever I 0:43:43.719 --> 0:43:46.000 meet them, I kind of I geek out meeting them 0:43:46.000 --> 0:43:47.799 because they're an affiliate, because I used to get geek 0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:49.640 out meeting these and it's just like a whole world 0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:52.799 full circle moment. And then I left Doctor Phillip quit 0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:55.440 the show, which is also very tough because I was 0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:59.359 willing to let go and start working towards this path 0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:01.160 of la and the right. When I was there, within 0:44:01.200 --> 0:44:03.200 a month, they were already like they were like because 0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:04.799 they knew who I was and where I come from, 0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:08.640 They're like, you're willing to take this bottom wrung, low 0:44:08.760 --> 0:44:11.480 level nobody producer. And I was like, yeah, because I'm 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:13.040 I want to learn from the bottom and work my 0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:16.920 way up. And within a month they had already hey 0:44:16.320 --> 0:44:21.240 and within a month, and within a month they had um, 0:44:21.280 --> 0:44:25.960 I'm allergic to dogs, by the way, Remy's literally like 0:44:26.120 --> 0:44:30.000 ready to cuddle up next to the scum. But um, 0:44:31.000 --> 0:44:32.920 what was I saying? Crap? Oh? Yeah, So within a 0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:35.640 month I was already applying for an associate producer, which 0:44:35.640 --> 0:44:37.680 is like three positions up from where I had started. 0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:39.600 And they would want me to be a talent booker 0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:41.200 and find the people that would come on the show. 0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:43.960 Like I was one month away from meeting Catch Me Outside. 0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:47.719 How about that one month out such a big ball? 0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:51.439 It was huge. So I was one literally one month 0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:53.279 away because when I left the show and then one 0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:56.440 month later Catch Me Outside was was was filming, and 0:44:56.480 --> 0:44:58.120 I'm like, and I mean my friends were texting me 0:44:58.160 --> 0:44:59.680 who worked there the sill They one of them picked 0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:01.680 the up from the airport or wherever she's coming from, 0:45:02.040 --> 0:45:04.560 like like, this girl's crazy, and then and then like 0:45:04.640 --> 0:45:08.040 and then sure enough she was crazy, and so yeah, 0:45:08.080 --> 0:45:11.080 Doctor Phil and Ryan Seacrest, and then with Seacrest, I 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:13.239 got that at that point where I was like, well, 0:45:13.239 --> 0:45:15.239 I want more, and I wanted more within the show 0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:16.920 and it wasn't available because somebody was in that role, 0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:18.520 and I was like, I respect that, but I want more. 0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:21.319 And then again I was another Dennis Clark moment where 0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.040 he called me He's like New York or Nashville, and 0:45:24.080 --> 0:45:26.759 I'm like, either one's fine, and then he's like, all right, cool, 0:45:26.760 --> 0:45:29.560 whole tight another whole tight scenario, of course, lots of 0:45:29.600 --> 0:45:31.120 whole tights.

And then so never been in Nashville 0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:46.040 except for that quick interview process. I was literally here 0:45:46.080 --> 0:45:48.120 in twenty four hours in and out, so I've never 0:45:48.120 --> 0:45:49.760 really been here. And then we drove across the country 0:45:49.760 --> 0:45:51.839 and not knowing anything about Nashville, not having a house, 0:45:51.880 --> 0:45:54.680 having nothing, same experience like I wanted dif from Roland 0:45:54.719 --> 0:45:57.920 up to San Francisco, but this time much more on 0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:00.959 the positive side moving with a job or is having 0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:03.239 to quit a job and hopefully getting a job. And 0:46:03.239 --> 0:46:05.200 I was like, wow, like fifteen twenty years later, I'm 0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:07.720 now moving with a job. I'm moving with my soulmate. 0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:12.040 We have a kid. Holy crap, Like this is unbelievable, 0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:14.280 and like back to the other side of the country 0:46:14.280 --> 0:46:16.879 where you had originally started exactly, not coming back towards 0:46:16.920 --> 0:46:19.799 the East coast, closer to my side of the family. Yeah. 0:46:19.880 --> 0:46:22.440 So it's like it's been a really really wild journey 0:46:22.760 --> 0:46:25.120 of this whole radio thing of of like always like 0:46:25.160 --> 0:46:26.960 trying to leave it and then it always broke me 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:29.480 back in. Oh my gosh, and with the same company. 0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:31.240 I never left the company. I mean I left the company, 0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:33.640 but never really left the company. I've been with since 0:46:33.640 --> 0:46:35.399 it was Clear Channel. I've been with it back when 0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:38.400 John Hogan was too Yeah, yeah, you were ogs. We 0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:42.200 are ogs. But I don't feel good about that. But exactly, 0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:44.360 it's a lot of years Scuba. Oh yeah, like the 0:46:44.440 --> 0:46:46.319 early two thousands, I've been with this company. Like it's 0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:49.560 I've been around for a minute. But hey, it's really 0:46:49.560 --> 0:46:52.719 cool to hear your story and see just the process 0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:55.000 of how that's all happened and the ebbs and flows, 0:46:55.160 --> 0:46:58.719 because yeah, it's really easy to see things online and 0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.800 look at an out cider perspective. It's really funny because 0:47:02.600 --> 0:47:04.960 often online people are like, I'll share, I'm like, I 0:47:05.000 --> 0:47:07.239 got the Sunday scaris and I'm like, dang, I don't 0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:09.919 want to work, and they're like, you have the perfect job, 0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:13.120 it's amazing. I'm like, I'm human. Like at the end 0:47:13.160 --> 0:47:15.520 of the day, it's amazing. What we get to do 0:47:15.600 --> 0:47:17.600 is incredible, and I've worked really hard to get here, 0:47:17.840 --> 0:47:20.439 much like you. Yeah, but we're still human. It's still 0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.759 a job, and it's still like, yes, everybody would love 0:47:22.800 --> 0:47:24.239 to not work at the end of the day. Oh yeah, 0:47:24.280 --> 0:47:25.920 of course. Oh my god, if I had, if I 0:47:25.960 --> 0:47:27.799 had the financial freedom, m'd stay home right now. I'd 0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:30.160 be in Hawaii right now. Yes, I have my family 0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.760 showing on the beach. It cracks me up. I'm like, guys, 0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:35.960 it is especially to get here and especially all the 0:47:36.000 --> 0:47:37.960 things that we go through on a daily basis, Like 0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:40.680 it's amazing, it's incredible, and that is not lost on 0:47:40.719 --> 0:47:43.080 any of us. But it's a journey, and it's been 0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:45.399 a journey and it will continue to be one. Oh yeah, 0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:47.399 and I'm sure the story you talked about and then 0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:49.680 my story that's that's it in a nutshell, that's like 0:47:49.680 --> 0:47:51.960 a three minute version of what we could sit here 0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.720 and talk about it, all the layers for probably five hours, 0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:58.279 maybe multiple days of all the god dang it, I 0:47:58.360 --> 0:48:01.560 keep cussing. It's all right, I got another beep note 0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:07.520 to beep notes and for Lynn, I try to give 0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:12.520 up cussing, but it has not worked out again. We've like, 0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:14.160 I guess to your point, it's it's been a journey. 0:48:14.200 --> 0:48:16.399 It's been a lot. And I also thinking in any job, though, 0:48:16.400 --> 0:48:19.160 you're always trying to want and strive and do more. 0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:21.600 And I think in our industry we all were always 0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:23.520 wanting more and more and more and do more and 0:48:23.600 --> 0:48:26.880 get more and and and try to always there's always 0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:29.359 that chasing of that of that dangling at the caret. 0:48:29.400 --> 0:48:31.320 I've like, I just want so even in my in 0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:34.400 my in me, now I've been here for almost I 0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:37.319 think it's four years, and I'm like now, I'm like 0:48:37.440 --> 0:48:39.960 not saying what's next, but I'm like, what else do 0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:42.760 I want to do? In my career because I've achieved 0:48:42.760 --> 0:48:46.160 so much in all these different facets and I'm like, 0:48:46.280 --> 0:48:47.600 now what do i want to do. I'm like, do 0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:49.080 I want to go back to LA? And I know 0:48:49.160 --> 0:48:52.920 this is whatever, this is not whatever. I'm being very transparent. Yeah, 0:48:52.920 --> 0:48:55.440 I like transparencies. I mean brand transparent, and I'm allowed 0:48:55.440 --> 0:48:58.200 to because you know, this is my life. And and 0:48:58.239 --> 0:49:01.160 we've talked about that with my wife because she's from California, 0:49:01.160 --> 0:49:03.919 and it's really tough, especially not having three kids. It's 0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:07.359 very tough not being near family. Like yeah, I've got 0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:09.520 they can fly in, but when you live in the 0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:12.880 same vicinity as your family, it really takes a village. 0:49:12.960 --> 0:49:16.360 Especially with three f and kids. It'd be nice to 0:49:16.400 --> 0:49:19.880 be around her mom and her family. My family is 0:49:19.880 --> 0:49:22.560 great too, but they're they're taking care of my grandma 0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:25.840 in different space where she's got Dude, she's got freaking 0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:30.520 ten ants. Yah's village. She's got a legitimate the Bay Area. 0:49:30.840 --> 0:49:33.200 There's probably one hundred and fifty people in her family 0:49:33.200 --> 0:49:35.319 that live in the Bay Area that I could call 0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:37.040 and text any one of them and they'd be like, yeah, 0:49:37.040 --> 0:49:38.200 I'll watch your kids from in if you need to 0:49:38.320 --> 0:49:40.360 do something or take care of something or whatever, Whereas 0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:42.200 here it's a little difficult. I've got a couple of 0:49:42.200 --> 0:49:45.560 people and it's tough because they've all got there and 0:49:45.840 --> 0:49:47.839 they're not family, so I feel tough. I feel weird 0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:49.960 being like hey, and they're like they will, they will 0:49:50.000 --> 0:49:53.320 do it, but it's not the same as immediate family 0:49:53.440 --> 0:49:55.719 helping out. So we're in that space. Differs a different 0:49:55.760 --> 0:49:58.200 kind of situation, different situation. And then me on the 0:49:58.200 --> 0:50:00.600 career side, I'm hungry and i want more and i 0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:02.879 want to do other things, and I've learned so much 0:50:02.920 --> 0:50:04.160 in my career that I'm like, I kind of want 0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:06.600 to take the lot of the talents, Like like Lebron, 0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:08.360 I want to take my talents to South Beach. I 0:50:08.440 --> 0:50:10.400 kin't want to take my talent's not to South Beach, 0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:12.160 but in that figurative way, I want to take it 0:50:12.239 --> 0:50:16.000 and do something on my own. Um, I've learned. I've 0:50:16.040 --> 0:50:19.080 learned from the biggest and the best that and I'm 0:50:19.120 --> 0:50:21.120 not trying to sound hockey but like I have, Like 0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:24.359 I've been around like Ryan Seacrest, I learned from some 0:50:24.480 --> 0:50:27.360 people and then in my SSEF journey and even Bobby, 0:50:27.400 --> 0:50:29.239 I've learned from a lot of great people that have 0:50:29.680 --> 0:50:33.000 that have or at the top in their careers, and 0:50:33.000 --> 0:50:34.839 I don't know what looks like for me, but there's 0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:36.520 no that I've learned a lot behind the scenes, in 0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:38.200 front of the scenes, what to do, what not to do. 0:50:39.000 --> 0:50:42.680 Uh So I don't know. Yeah, I mean it's exciting. 0:50:42.680 --> 0:50:45.319 It's exciting and terrifying at the same time. Oh, I 0:50:45.360 --> 0:50:46.960 throw up at the at the side of any time 0:50:47.000 --> 0:50:49.920 there's a new transition. But at any anything I do 0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:52.120 that it's really scary, but it's always ends up being 0:50:52.160 --> 0:50:54.279 just fine. And I guess that's my whole point to 0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:59.120 tell anyone about this, is that the words of Steve Harvey, 0:50:59.440 --> 0:51:02.239 and they remember him saying this, it was like he 0:51:02.320 --> 0:51:04.799 always has great words of wisdom. Oh my god, he does. 0:51:04.840 --> 0:51:06.560 And I've seen him do a couple of shows when 0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:09.560 I was living in La where in between like the takes, 0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:11.439 he does this thing where he comes out and talks 0:51:11.440 --> 0:51:14.680 to the audience and it's so powerful and one that 0:51:14.760 --> 0:51:16.320 he did that always will stick with me. And I 0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:18.719 remember hearing it like ten fifteen years ago. He was 0:51:18.760 --> 0:51:21.319 telling this whole story about having a jump and he's like, 0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:23.000 and if you don't, and he basically was like yeah. 0:51:23.000 --> 0:51:24.560 He goes, he goes, if you don't, he goes talking 0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:26.600 about how basicly, how like how did someone like Sam 0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:30.960 a Bobby or Ryan. He's like, you know, they didn't 0:51:31.000 --> 0:51:34.319 just get up. They it took time. And he goes, 0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:36.800 the key is people like that. He goes, we jump 0:51:37.200 --> 0:51:39.280 and he's like, if you don't jump, you're never gonna 0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:42.920 know the what could have been? Or the what who's 0:51:42.960 --> 0:51:45.759 and what's or there's always like, well, what would have 0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:47.359 happened if I would have taken a chance, like going 0:51:47.360 --> 0:51:50.359 back to me saying hi to Patrick from the Black Keys, 0:51:50.360 --> 0:51:52.239 Like it's a smaller version, but like what would have 0:51:52.280 --> 0:51:54.120 happened if I did would have gone to him and said, hello, 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:56.080 I didn't jump, but it could have spawn into something 0:51:56.160 --> 0:51:57.879 or could have been nothing. But if you don't jump, 0:51:57.920 --> 0:51:59.960 you will never know. And he's like, he goes, you're 0:52:00.000 --> 0:52:02.000 gonna jump, and he goes, if you when you're jump 0:52:02.040 --> 0:52:04.080 off the cliff, you're gonna fall. It's gonna hurt, Like hell, 0:52:04.320 --> 0:52:07.120 there's gonna be moments where you're you're gonna get cut 0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:09.319 and scrapes and bruises, which is like, are coming up 0:52:09.360 --> 0:52:11.560 in this industry and working hard and not getting paid money, 0:52:11.560 --> 0:52:13.879 and we're not getting paid enough. He goes, there's gonna 0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:16.560 be scrapes and bruises and it's gonna hurt, like hell. 0:52:16.640 --> 0:52:18.880 He's like, he's like, but you at least jumps, and 0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:20.919 if you fail, you at least jumped and you tried, 0:52:21.080 --> 0:52:22.759 and you get back up and you do something else. 0:52:22.960 --> 0:52:24.799 But then he goes, but then there's that time you jump, 0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:26.919 and then you're gonna get the and then you're gonna 0:52:26.920 --> 0:52:28.640 get back up, and then you're gonna be like, holy crap. 0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:30.799 And then you're there and you jumped and you made it, 0:52:31.040 --> 0:52:32.680 and here you are. I'm not doing you justice of 0:52:32.680 --> 0:52:34.239 how he said it, because he had this beautiful thing 0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:36.680 that's kind of like going, but it's still empowering, it's 0:52:36.680 --> 0:52:39.080 still inspiring. Yes, that's like the cliff notes of it. 0:52:39.120 --> 0:52:41.359 And so I've jumped every time because of that. Every 0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:43.239 time I've left the city, I've jumped and it's hurt, 0:52:43.560 --> 0:52:45.839 but then it's always worked out. So that's my whole 0:52:45.840 --> 0:52:47.680 point to anyone listening. If you're in a rut, whether 0:52:47.680 --> 0:52:50.040 it be a relationship or a friendship or a career 0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:52.920 or anything, you just gotta jump. It's gonna suck, it's 0:52:52.960 --> 0:52:55.040 gonna hurt, and it's hard to jump, but you gotta 0:52:55.120 --> 0:52:56.960 do it because otherwise you'll be living your whole life 0:52:56.960 --> 0:52:58.759 go on what if? And living your life go on 0:52:58.800 --> 0:53:02.040 what if? Is way worse than hurting yourself through the 0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:04.759 process of trying to figure it out. No, you're so right. 0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:06.640 I feel like you're speaking to me because you are. 0:53:07.840 --> 0:53:13.680 It feels very personal. I wasn't talking to you directly. 0:53:13.880 --> 0:53:17.359 I know I am. I am firing, yes, but that's 0:53:17.400 --> 0:53:21.160 the words of another wise, Steve more wiser than me. 0:53:21.200 --> 0:53:25.320 You're Steve Harvey. Yes, I love him. Well, thank you 0:53:25.400 --> 0:53:27.160 for sharing that story. It was really it was really 0:53:27.160 --> 0:53:28.920 cool to hear all all the things of where you 0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:30.840 came from and where it began. Yeah, well, thank you 0:53:30.880 --> 0:53:33.759 for listening. Yeah. Always when we got we still got 0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:36.080 more to talk about too, because we're not the number 0:53:36.080 --> 0:53:38.840 four spot and just number four. Yeah, we're going to 0:53:38.880 --> 0:53:41.799 speak to this Hey, listen, you had a story to tell, 0:53:41.840 --> 0:53:44.960 and I was like, I wanted it. I wanted the story, 0:53:45.080 --> 0:53:47.400 I know, but we did have an Employee of the 0:53:47.480 --> 0:53:50.440 Month chosen for February and that happened this week, so 0:53:50.680 --> 0:53:53.360 I don't want to give any spoilers here. Yes, but 0:53:53.440 --> 0:53:55.200 I have a question for you. Yeah, yeah, what's up? 0:53:55.480 --> 0:53:57.880 Do you think? And you you may even have a 0:53:57.960 --> 0:54:01.080 more personal because this will could connect to you and 0:54:01.160 --> 0:54:03.759 something that you made have dealt with while you were dating. 0:54:04.360 --> 0:54:07.000 Do you think hat fishing? Do you know what halt 0:54:07.040 --> 0:54:08.920 fishing is? Well? Yeah, guys like me who don't have 0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:10.800 hair and they wear a hat and then they just 0:54:10.920 --> 0:54:12.520 always wear a hat, always wear hat. In the moment 0:54:12.560 --> 0:54:14.200 you see without the hat and they're like like, oh, 0:54:14.600 --> 0:54:16.279 either it could be good, like oh I didn't know that, 0:54:16.320 --> 0:54:18.280 but that's fine, or oh, oh my god, you should 0:54:18.280 --> 0:54:21.280 put the hat back on, even in bed, in a shower, 0:54:21.560 --> 0:54:24.040 at the swimming pool, keep the hat on always, or 0:54:24.400 --> 0:54:27.360 they choose to like them choosing to always wear it, 0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:30.879 I should always wear it's probably yeah. Is the same 0:54:31.160 --> 0:54:35.759 as women wearing makeup? Yes, you do? This is I'm 0:54:36.160 --> 0:54:38.080 so curious, and let me tell you why because I 0:54:38.200 --> 0:54:41.919 had posted something and for me, I don't think there's 0:54:41.960 --> 0:54:44.920 anything wrong with the guy that's ball. I think it's fine, 0:54:45.040 --> 0:54:47.279 but the hat fishing is a problem for me because 0:54:47.320 --> 0:54:50.440 it shows lack of confidence and it shows insecurities and 0:54:50.520 --> 0:54:54.400 it shows some sides that maybe somebody isn't quite ready 0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:59.320 to be there, you know, fullest version of themselves. And 0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:01.759 so I had stated that hat fishing is something that 0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:04.000 I pay attention to on dating apps. I'm like, if 0:55:04.280 --> 0:55:06.120 this is a sign of that, because and let me 0:55:06.160 --> 0:55:08.160 tell you why, I've dated guys who have slept with 0:55:08.200 --> 0:55:11.200 their hats in bed. Are you serious? And I'm like, sir, 0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:14.959 that's not gonna work long term. Like I have seen 0:55:15.040 --> 0:55:17.959 the insecurities that come with hat fishing on three different 0:55:18.000 --> 0:55:21.600 occasions in beds. I was kidding about, like showering with it. Yeah, 0:55:21.640 --> 0:55:23.879 I'm not. This is that's something. This is a real thing, 0:55:24.920 --> 0:55:28.399 genuine like refusing to take off the hat okay, wow. 0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:31.759 And I think because I think there's it's not the 0:55:32.239 --> 0:55:34.560 fact of them being bald, it's the fact of there's 0:55:34.600 --> 0:55:37.279 something associated with that insecurity of it or them. Yeah, 0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:39.320 instead of just like owning it and be like this 0:55:39.480 --> 0:55:42.319 is who I am. I don't give a crab. Yes, 0:55:42.480 --> 0:55:44.040 I just shaved it, moved on. And this is why 0:55:44.080 --> 0:55:46.040 I'm asking you because I'm sure you probably had that moment. 0:55:46.600 --> 0:55:49.000 You've all had those insecurity moments. But when you're at 0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:52.680 thirty years old. Okay, my guys, something's got to give. 0:55:52.960 --> 0:55:55.319 Oh dude. When I was I was like twenty one, 0:55:55.440 --> 0:55:57.200 I had to. I had to give on my hairline 0:55:57.320 --> 0:55:59.560 because I was like, this is my mohawk win from 0:55:59.640 --> 0:56:02.000 here to here to hear to almost of the almost 0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:03.640 of the back of my head. I'm like, well, it's 0:56:03.680 --> 0:56:05.399 time to shave my head. And even when I shave 0:56:05.480 --> 0:56:06.800 my head, you could still see the lines of it 0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:08.960 like fading back. And then I was like, well, now 0:56:09.040 --> 0:56:10.840 sounded like really full on shaven. I didn't get the 0:56:10.880 --> 0:56:13.120 courage to shave it until I met my now wife, 0:56:13.160 --> 0:56:15.160 and she was when we were early on dating. She's 0:56:15.239 --> 0:56:17.719 very honest, which I really appreciated. It was sometimes it 0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:19.840 was tough again, like going to jump. It was always 0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.400 sometimes you're like I don't want to hear that. But 0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:23.279 then you're like, all right, well, I was already thinking 0:56:23.320 --> 0:56:24.880 that myself. It's nice to hear it from you, and 0:56:24.880 --> 0:56:27.160 I appreciate your honesty, and you gave me feedback and 0:56:27.239 --> 0:56:28.360 how to fix it. And she was like, I'll just 0:56:28.360 --> 0:56:30.759 start shaving your head for you. And she would shave 0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:32.040 it and she's like, see, you look so much better. 0:56:32.040 --> 0:56:34.359 And now you actually look younger. And I was like, okay, cool, 0:56:34.400 --> 0:56:35.759 And I was like, all right, shave my head. Not 0:56:35.880 --> 0:56:38.920 so bad. She opened that up for you, and I 0:56:39.040 --> 0:56:42.640 love that. The honesty is tough, but it's key sometimes. Yes, 0:56:42.960 --> 0:56:44.920 And this was me being very honest. But a guy 0:56:45.120 --> 0:56:48.160 came up and he was he was hit to the 0:56:48.239 --> 0:56:50.960 heart and my guy and he was like, it's the 0:56:51.040 --> 0:56:53.560 same as where a makeup. I was like, maybe for 0:56:54.200 --> 0:56:57.080 some women, I would agree, because some throw it on 0:56:57.360 --> 0:57:01.000 hard and they make my sleep with it. Like there 0:57:01.040 --> 0:57:03.000 are some women I know who will sleep with it, 0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:04.840 they don't want to take it off. Yeah. Where But 0:57:05.400 --> 0:57:08.400 for me, like me stating that is me saying no, 0:57:08.600 --> 0:57:10.319 I'm going to show up. You're probably by the second 0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:12.000 or third day're gonna see me without my makeup. I'm 0:57:12.000 --> 0:57:14.239 sitting here right now. If you without makeup, yeah, yeah, 0:57:14.440 --> 0:57:17.200 that's just like I'm owning who I am. I'm at 0:57:17.280 --> 0:57:18.920 that point in my life, which is great and I 0:57:19.000 --> 0:57:21.320 love it. And if you're in your early twenties, I 0:57:21.400 --> 0:57:24.120 think this is okay. But for someone as a twenty 0:57:24.200 --> 0:57:26.800 nine almost thirty and on a dating map, that's a 0:57:27.080 --> 0:57:30.200 that's me seeing okay, you're not at the same point 0:57:30.280 --> 0:57:32.720 that I'm at. Yes, but then also this is very 0:57:32.760 --> 0:57:35.800 superficial and I'll just say it, hey say it. Yeah. 0:57:36.000 --> 0:57:39.160 So I also have learned through my wife that all 0:57:39.240 --> 0:57:42.760 that makeup, it's also really bad for your skin. And 0:57:42.840 --> 0:57:44.240 so a lot of times, I know people will hide 0:57:44.240 --> 0:57:47.080 it to hide blemishes or pimples or whatever, but a 0:57:47.120 --> 0:57:49.120 lot of times that makeup you're hiding it is causing 0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:51.000 more problems to your pores and your skin, which is 0:57:51.080 --> 0:57:53.040 making it worse and worse and worse, which it almost 0:57:53.040 --> 0:57:54.960 puts you in a cycle of having to constantly always 0:57:55.160 --> 0:57:57.400 put on makeup because you're insecure by your skin. But 0:57:57.440 --> 0:57:59.520 if you would just take a break for a little bit, 0:57:59.760 --> 0:58:02.200 you're skin will go back to somewhat normal and then 0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:03.840 you won't need it as much and makeup anymore. You 0:58:03.880 --> 0:58:06.080 can just do light touch ups. And again I'm speaking 0:58:06.080 --> 0:58:07.880 from a guy's perfective or what I've heard from my wife, 0:58:08.080 --> 0:58:10.960 So please don't shoot me, but like that's what I've 0:58:11.000 --> 0:58:13.680 heard and what I've seen. Like my wife, bless, she's 0:58:13.840 --> 0:58:16.960 absolutely gorgeous. I think she's so much prettier without makeup 0:58:16.960 --> 0:58:19.200 than when she is with makeup. But she's even got 0:58:19.280 --> 0:58:20.560 to the point nowhere I've told I'm like, you don't 0:58:20.560 --> 0:58:21.920 need to put on a whole lot. And she's never 0:58:21.960 --> 0:58:23.960 really been a whole lot of makeup person anyways, more 0:58:24.080 --> 0:58:26.040 only for just like really big occasions like a wedding 0:58:26.200 --> 0:58:28.560 or something huge. But I'm like, just put it on, 0:58:28.600 --> 0:58:30.720 because similar to her to me tell me to shave 0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:32.840 my head, i was like, Babe, I'm like, you're fff 0:58:32.920 --> 0:58:34.760 and gorgeous without makeup, so if you do want to 0:58:34.760 --> 0:58:36.480 put some on, maybe just put on a little bit 0:58:36.480 --> 0:58:38.200 and just like highlight what you want to highlight, like 0:58:38.280 --> 0:58:41.280 your eyes or your eyebrows or whatever. And when she's 0:58:41.320 --> 0:58:43.360 really beautiful without it, and then when she does highlight 0:58:43.480 --> 0:58:45.800 just the minimal amounts, I'm like, oh my god. She 0:58:45.880 --> 0:58:48.520 cancentuates certain pieces of like well, you're already beautiful, and 0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:50.760 I'm like, oh my god, wow. And then her skin 0:58:50.880 --> 0:58:53.080 is so nice, not because she doesn't she's constantly cleaning 0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:54.240 it and not having to put all the makeup on 0:58:54.360 --> 0:58:56.040 and not caring about it and not putting as much 0:58:56.040 --> 0:58:58.160 on and she used to before and all that crap, 0:58:58.200 --> 0:59:00.480 and not caring about what her workplace at the time 0:59:00.600 --> 0:59:03.280 cared about presentation or look. She's like I'm beautiful with that. 0:59:03.320 --> 0:59:04.919 I don't. I don't need it, don't need to kick 0:59:04.960 --> 0:59:07.080 it on. And it helped him prove her skin as 0:59:07.080 --> 0:59:09.480 well too, and she's always had nice skin. But I've 0:59:09.520 --> 0:59:11.880 seen it even with my sister and other people. Less 0:59:11.920 --> 0:59:13.960 makeup is so much better for your skin. And I 0:59:14.040 --> 0:59:15.720 also feel like a lot of women are really beautiful, 0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:17.760 and most women are really beautiful without the makeup. And 0:59:17.800 --> 0:59:20.400 that's just how I look at it. And the makeup 0:59:20.440 --> 0:59:22.520 again is nice. It's fine. You can do it to 0:59:22.600 --> 0:59:24.160 make yourself. It's like, but I put on a nice 0:59:24.160 --> 0:59:26.040 shirt or dress up nice. I see how it can 0:59:26.080 --> 0:59:28.400 make you feel like, oh, I feel really good. That's cool. 0:59:28.480 --> 0:59:30.360 But I but I also want women to know that 0:59:30.480 --> 0:59:32.240 ninety percent of the time, you don't got to kick 0:59:32.280 --> 0:59:34.080 it on. Just be yourself. Yeah, And if you and 0:59:34.160 --> 0:59:36.200 if guys don't like you for yourself, then that's not 0:59:36.320 --> 0:59:39.240 the guy you should be with. F that guy because 0:59:39.280 --> 0:59:41.160 he's got his own insecurities that he's putting it on 0:59:41.240 --> 0:59:43.280 you for your makeup or whatever. And I'm telling you 0:59:43.360 --> 0:59:44.600 right now, any guy, it's like you need to be 0:59:44.920 --> 0:59:48.200 in high heels and wearing larns right and wearing makeup 0:59:48.640 --> 0:59:53.440 and leave that guy yesterday. He sucks because if he 0:59:53.520 --> 0:59:55.480 can't love you for the way that you look naturally 0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:57.760 and who you are as who you are, and you 0:59:57.920 --> 1:00:00.240 have to wear makeup all time because of him, or 1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:04.240 you feel like you have to because of him or whatever. Yeah, 1:00:04.640 --> 1:00:06.320 you definitely want to be able to own and be 1:00:06.480 --> 1:00:09.440 exactly who you are in all assets. Yeah, Like I 1:00:09.600 --> 1:00:12.480 love I'm the aspect of makeup for me is I 1:00:12.640 --> 1:00:16.640 love getting dressed up. I love like giving myself like 1:00:16.760 --> 1:00:19.720 a day where I'm like, oh, yeah, I feel really good. Yeah. 1:00:19.840 --> 1:00:22.360 But I also love going to the gym without makeup 1:00:22.440 --> 1:00:24.720 and like just getting in a good sweating and I 1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:27.160 don't have to worry about it. Yeah. Like I love 1:00:27.240 --> 1:00:29.800 both of those sides of me. But I also know, 1:00:30.000 --> 1:00:31.960 like and that that just all goes back to the 1:00:32.040 --> 1:00:36.800 same point. I don't think in your twenty six to 1:00:37.000 --> 1:00:39.160 forties hat fishing and wearing makeup are the same thing 1:00:39.880 --> 1:00:42.120 in your early twenties. I do. I do believe that 1:00:42.280 --> 1:00:44.520 because I think that same thing is happening for men 1:00:44.640 --> 1:00:47.600 and women. Yes, but I think women as they get 1:00:47.640 --> 1:00:50.320 older are like I don't care, I'm You're learning to 1:00:50.400 --> 1:00:53.280 embrace you're starting to go against societal standards and you're 1:00:53.280 --> 1:00:57.000 starting to understand things, and so they're also expecting men 1:00:57.080 --> 1:00:59.760 to be doing the same thing, right, Yeah, and so 1:01:00.000 --> 1:01:02.520 that's why I'm saying, like, at almost thirty years old, 1:01:02.760 --> 1:01:05.160 half is not the same as makeup. I see it 1:01:05.200 --> 1:01:06.960 in that perspective. Yeah, And I also look at it, 1:01:06.960 --> 1:01:08.160 I was like, wow, women are way stronger than men, 1:01:08.160 --> 1:01:12.120 which they usually always are anyways, emotionally and physically and everything. 1:01:13.040 --> 1:01:15.880 So it's like, yeah, yeah, for me, I definitely got 1:01:15.960 --> 1:01:17.360 on it sooner, and but it was through the help 1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:19.320 of a woman to tell me not to do it. 1:01:19.360 --> 1:01:21.000 I didn't do it on my own. Yeah, I would 1:01:21.000 --> 1:01:22.960 have still probably kept wearing hats and kept trying to 1:01:23.200 --> 1:01:26.640 figure out my whole stupid hairline. Yeah, so they get 1:01:26.720 --> 1:01:28.560 proves your point they aren't the same because of that, 1:01:28.880 --> 1:01:30.600 And it's funny when you bring it up. It took 1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:33.600 a woman to help me realize. So it really proves 1:01:33.680 --> 1:01:36.640 really proves the point that women are stronger and get 1:01:36.680 --> 1:01:41.440 it and and yes, yes, and listen, if I was 1:01:41.520 --> 1:01:44.040 in my early twenties and that was the situation, I'd 1:01:44.080 --> 1:01:45.920 be like, yeah, okay, we'll figure it out. Yes, but 1:01:46.320 --> 1:01:48.439 not at this point, you know, I can't. I can't 1:01:48.480 --> 1:01:50.960 fix anybody. If there's one lesson I have learned, so 1:01:51.080 --> 1:01:53.440 you cannot, and all of my relationship actually at this 1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:55.920 age range, yes, you cannot. And one of the biggest 1:01:55.960 --> 1:01:58.960 things that you cannot fix or help anybody with is 1:01:59.000 --> 1:02:01.640 their own insecurities. That is all on them. You can 1:02:01.760 --> 1:02:04.160 try to and you can try to make them feel comfortable, 1:02:04.200 --> 1:02:06.680 which will then gain them the confidence, but you can't 1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:08.560 be like flipping a switch and I think it's just 1:02:08.600 --> 1:02:10.800 gonna go away because it ain't. Yes, and people like 1:02:11.120 --> 1:02:13.480 and it's funny because it goes so much deeper, and 1:02:13.520 --> 1:02:16.160 people are like, well, that means they can't have insecurities. 1:02:16.160 --> 1:02:18.880 I'm like, no, everybody's going to wow too. It's human 1:02:18.960 --> 1:02:21.120 nature yet, but at this point in your life there 1:02:21.200 --> 1:02:24.280 are things that should have happened by now. If we're 1:02:24.360 --> 1:02:27.040 on the same page, yes, yeah, and that's cool that 1:02:27.160 --> 1:02:30.120 we're not. Yeah, then you're just not my person exactly. 1:02:30.120 --> 1:02:32.200 And that's like the lessons that I've learned. But man, 1:02:32.320 --> 1:02:34.400 this guy like took that so hard to heart and 1:02:34.440 --> 1:02:35.880 he was like, this is the same thing, and I 1:02:35.960 --> 1:02:37.920 was like, this is a much bigger discussion than me 1:02:38.080 --> 1:02:41.080 responding to a comment, Yeah, yeah, oh my god, Yeah yeah, 1:02:41.440 --> 1:02:43.360 but he was hit in the heart.

Hey that's how that's how 1:05:10.440 --> 1:05:13.080 a conversation happens. And you persuaded me. I got you. 1:05:13.280 --> 1:05:15.800 I had a strong argument. That's why I didn't want 1:05:15.840 --> 1:05:18.000 you know, I didn't have twenty characters. I needed like 1:05:18.080 --> 1:05:21.440 a full argument. That's why I love a conversation because 1:05:22.080 --> 1:05:24.640 because you have two sides, and then you can keep 1:05:24.680 --> 1:05:26.640 your side, which is still respectful. You can have your 1:05:26.680 --> 1:05:28.640 opinion sometimes a side I can persuade you, and you 1:05:28.720 --> 1:05:31.720 persuaded me. Hey see, if only our government worked that way, 1:05:31.760 --> 1:05:36.680 that'd be great. Yeah, I'll stop there. The story for 1:05:36.720 --> 1:05:41.040 another day. Vocation and compromise. Wow, what an amazing thing 1:05:41.240 --> 1:05:43.920 on his conversation. On his conversation, that's so cool in 1:05:44.000 --> 1:05:46.160 a conversation. It wasn't like I made fun of you 1:05:46.280 --> 1:05:48.240 or I called you names or made thing and then 1:05:48.280 --> 1:05:50.280 went on Twitter and I anyway, I thought, see we 1:05:50.360 --> 1:05:52.560 did it. We did it five you can hear it. 1:05:53.720 --> 1:05:56.400 We did We didn't all right? Cool? Was I hope 1:05:56.400 --> 1:05:58.120 if I hit your hand to have that? Great? We 1:05:58.160 --> 1:06:04.720 needed this to hear it. Lunchbox auditioned for another job 1:06:04.920 --> 1:06:07.160 that happened on the show this week, and we got 1:06:07.280 --> 1:06:09.439 to hear the audio from it. Of course, he didn't 1:06:09.440 --> 1:06:11.400 get the job, but we did hear the audio and 1:06:11.480 --> 1:06:13.640 it was pretty solid. Kind of surprised he didn't get 1:06:13.640 --> 1:06:17.520 the job on Yeah, pretty solid, but what is scuba? 1:06:17.600 --> 1:06:23.000 This is not at all related? Solid? Yeah? I know, 1:06:23.120 --> 1:06:24.480 dang gooda well, if he tried to make that that 1:06:24.520 --> 1:06:26.320 would have been well. I've heard the audio he did 1:06:26.360 --> 1:06:28.760 before I before I came to this show, and oh 1:06:28.840 --> 1:06:30.760 my god. OK, anyways, good audio but really bad, like 1:06:30.840 --> 1:06:32.440 putting it together. Well, you should have seen him. He 1:06:32.560 --> 1:06:35.120 was there, you know, in our studio now there's like 1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:38.080 a little corner office, the whole bunch of computers, and 1:06:38.200 --> 1:06:40.040 every morning i'd come in, he'd be sitting in there 1:06:40.360 --> 1:06:43.080 editing his audio and it was hilarious. He'd be in 1:06:43.120 --> 1:06:45.120 there until like we started to go live, Like he 1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:47.640 take him hours. And like that thing I did with 1:06:47.760 --> 1:06:50.680 the baseball thing, I mean not even exaggerating. It took 1:06:50.720 --> 1:06:52.920 me five maybe six minutes to do it, and then 1:06:53.040 --> 1:06:56.440 Bobby he wanted that the week. Oh good decision like 1:06:56.760 --> 1:06:58.560 that wasn't much there took. I just took his thing, 1:06:58.720 --> 1:07:01.120 changed it at a different elements to it. That also 1:07:01.280 --> 1:07:03.000 was done, and I thought he wanted it because when 1:07:03.000 --> 1:07:04.800 he said he wanted it, we were playing a song 1:07:04.880 --> 1:07:06.200 and it was one of those things where I was like, oh, 1:07:06.240 --> 1:07:07.880 we need it for this next live break. So I 1:07:08.000 --> 1:07:09.560 pumped it in three minutes and gave it to Ray. 1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:12.280 He loaded it, and like those things take not long 1:07:12.360 --> 1:07:14.439 for me to do, but it's funny to hear because 1:07:14.480 --> 1:07:16.800 Lunchbox was like I spent three hours to put that together. 1:07:16.880 --> 1:07:18.680 I'm like, oh my god, dude. I literally flicked my 1:07:18.720 --> 1:07:21.240 wrist and it was done. Yeah, when it comes to technology, 1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:23.680 you know how like people can hone their skills and 1:07:23.840 --> 1:07:27.200 start to learn and evolve. When it comes to technology. 1:07:27.360 --> 1:07:31.600 With Lunchbox, it's never evolved. I met him i Heartready 1:07:31.680 --> 1:07:35.240 Music Festival, Las Vegas, September twenty nineteen. I was introduced 1:07:35.280 --> 1:07:36.880 to him. This is like when I was about to 1:07:36.960 --> 1:07:38.920 get the job and everything, and I met him in 1:07:39.160 --> 1:07:41.000 He was like, hey, this is Lunchbox. Is Steve Hey 1:07:41.080 --> 1:07:43.320 nice s meets a man he was and they're like. 1:07:43.400 --> 1:07:44.640 I was like, hey, if you ever need anything up 1:07:44.640 --> 1:07:46.680 between now and these actually you put email on my phone. 1:07:46.760 --> 1:07:48.720 I was like laughing, like h like, you're kidding, right, 1:07:48.760 --> 1:07:51.080 this is twenty nineteen. And he's like, ah, your kid, 1:07:51.120 --> 1:07:52.800 and he's like, no, seriously, I don't have email on 1:07:52.920 --> 1:07:54.280 my phone. And Amy was like, hey, he isn't an 1:07:54.320 --> 1:07:55.840 email on his phone. I I can do it for 1:07:55.880 --> 1:07:57.920 you right now. He's well, not right now, not right now, 1:07:58.000 --> 1:07:59.880 but later. And guess what here we are four years 1:08:00.080 --> 1:08:02.680 later and still it doesn't have email on his phone. 1:08:02.960 --> 1:08:05.360 And then when he forgot his laptop at work yesterday, 1:08:05.960 --> 1:08:07.440 I was email on them things and I was like, well, 1:08:07.480 --> 1:08:09.280 just pull it up on your phone. Oh, you still 1:08:09.320 --> 1:08:11.640 have email on your phone? You literally have to like 1:08:11.920 --> 1:08:14.120 go to your computer and dial up on the America 1:08:14.200 --> 1:08:16.720 Online to check your email. No, this man is in 1:08:16.880 --> 1:08:21.000 the ice ages. What anyways, we'll stop there with that. 1:08:21.840 --> 1:08:26.080 That lunchbox? Yep? What's an obsession that you don't understand? 1:08:27.920 --> 1:08:30.280 And do you need to think about it? You go 1:08:30.280 --> 1:08:31.680 out with something? Yeah, I have one. I think we 1:08:31.720 --> 1:08:33.439 talked about it once before. I don't remember where it, 1:08:33.439 --> 1:08:35.200 but I don't like, I don't never understood Friends the 1:08:35.240 --> 1:08:37.880 TV show. Okay, everyone was a fan of it, never 1:08:37.960 --> 1:08:39.880 really cared about it. And then when the whole reboot 1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:42.120 thing happened and everyone's all like, WHOA Friends? I was like, oh, 1:08:42.200 --> 1:08:44.800 I don't care. You don't care? Yeah, funny you have 1:08:44.920 --> 1:08:47.240 people latch onto like just different things because it's probably 1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:49.880 a show you really love, people wouldn't care about it, 1:08:49.920 --> 1:08:52.160 And yeah, it isn't that funny how those like just 1:08:52.320 --> 1:08:54.360 certain ones connect with different people. This is like a 1:08:54.439 --> 1:08:56.400 big things. I cared about people who are like I 1:08:56.439 --> 1:08:58.920 don't even know that is. But Friends is a massive way. 1:08:58.960 --> 1:09:00.640 Oh my god, it's huge and it is a really 1:09:00.680 --> 1:09:05.719 good show. Yeah, sure, it's great, so cheesy, it's so terrible. 1:09:06.160 --> 1:09:08.800 Mine's also a show, and it's one, it's newer, it's 1:09:08.840 --> 1:09:11.240 not the Friends, and people are obsessed with Outer Banks. 1:09:11.560 --> 1:09:13.040 Oh yeah, yeah, I haven't seen it yet. I don't 1:09:13.040 --> 1:09:15.160 even I can't speak to it. I watched the first 1:09:15.200 --> 1:09:17.040 season when it came out. Originally I was like, this 1:09:17.160 --> 1:09:19.879 is pretty good. It's it's just like a modern day Goonies, 1:09:19.920 --> 1:09:21.960 honestly is what it reminds me of. And you know, 1:09:22.040 --> 1:09:24.519 I wasn't thrilled with Goonies, so watching it, I was 1:09:24.560 --> 1:09:28.800 like mat so for you. Yeah, remember. So I tried 1:09:28.840 --> 1:09:30.400 to get into it again because they just came out 1:09:30.400 --> 1:09:32.360 with a third season. But when I went to try 1:09:32.400 --> 1:09:34.479 and watch the third season, I realized that I had 1:09:34.479 --> 1:09:38.759 stopped on the second season, episode one half and literally 1:09:38.800 --> 1:09:40.479 deleted it from my watching because it's like I'm not 1:09:40.520 --> 1:09:42.640 gonna watch it, dumb. Yeah. So I don't get it, 1:09:42.800 --> 1:09:45.000 and people are like hype hype, pipe pipe over the 1:09:45.080 --> 1:09:46.800 show on it, Oh my god. Yeah, and I just 1:09:46.840 --> 1:09:49.519 don't get it. Yeah, I don't get enough to I mean, 1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:51.719 I don't even care enough to even get to it especial. 1:09:52.200 --> 1:09:54.400 I just seen the premise and whatever, and I was like, man, 1:09:54.439 --> 1:09:56.000 I'm past that my life to watch something like that. 1:09:56.360 --> 1:09:59.040 So what is something that you like or that you've 1:09:59.080 --> 1:10:02.120 watched recently and you're like, this is good. So I've 1:10:02.200 --> 1:10:04.639 never seen it before until recently my son really got 1:10:04.680 --> 1:10:07.960 into Reckett Ralph. Yes, and so we watched Recket Ralph 1:10:08.000 --> 1:10:12.280 and then Ralph Breaks the Internet. What a cool concept, 1:10:12.400 --> 1:10:14.120 like everything from if you've seen it, you get if 1:10:14.120 --> 1:10:16.160 you haven't seen it, like just from like the video 1:10:16.240 --> 1:10:18.679 game perspective, and then the plug going into the wall 1:10:18.760 --> 1:10:21.519 and then living in that what do you call the 1:10:21.560 --> 1:10:23.720 search protector while that owlet's plug in and when they 1:10:24.240 --> 1:10:27.160 like the whole concept of it is so cool and 1:10:27.280 --> 1:10:29.880 so mind blowing and so fun that I was like, Wow, 1:10:29.960 --> 1:10:31.920 this is a really it's and it's also I feel 1:10:31.920 --> 1:10:34.880 like underrated, like Disney doesn't give it any love anywhere 1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:36.840 in the parks or talk about it or but it 1:10:36.960 --> 1:10:40.160 was such a cool, unique, fantastic series. I want a 1:10:40.240 --> 1:10:42.639 third one, I know, because that's like one of those 1:10:42.680 --> 1:10:45.280 two where both one and two are really good, very 1:10:45.360 --> 1:10:47.720 good and big huge voice actors. You had John c 1:10:47.920 --> 1:10:51.360 Riley playing Wrecket Ralph, and he had Sarah Silverman playing 1:10:51.439 --> 1:10:55.160 that little glitch girl like like a really cool cast, 1:10:55.320 --> 1:10:58.439 and what a really cool franchise that kind of just 1:10:58.479 --> 1:11:01.599 stopped almost like Bay Max, Big Hero six and all 1:11:01.640 --> 1:11:03.479 that kind of just stopped. Oh yeah, I never got 1:11:03.520 --> 1:11:05.720 into those ones, but I take it into Record Ralph. 1:11:05.760 --> 1:11:08.720 I love Direcord Ralph. Okay, yeah, really cool? Is you're 1:11:09.479 --> 1:11:11.599 this is funny. I was having this conversation with Lunchwox 1:11:11.640 --> 1:11:14.040 because his and maybe because of you, his kids just 1:11:14.120 --> 1:11:16.280 watched Record Ralph the first time. Yeah. I don't know 1:11:16.320 --> 1:11:18.080 if you suggested it to him, but they literally just 1:11:18.160 --> 1:11:19.680 watched it for the first time, like two days ago. 1:11:19.760 --> 1:11:22.639 I think it's so. I think Disney like when they're 1:11:22.640 --> 1:11:23.920 trying to like I feel like when they're trying to 1:11:23.960 --> 1:11:25.479 gauge interest or see how it is and see if 1:11:25.479 --> 1:11:27.519 they're gonna do another one, they start populating it on 1:11:27.560 --> 1:11:29.760 their main page. Because I feel like Record Ralph was 1:11:29.840 --> 1:11:31.600 a suggestion. It wasn't like my son did not to 1:11:31.640 --> 1:11:33.120 look it up. Yeah. I think it just was there 1:11:33.120 --> 1:11:34.439 and he clicked on it because it's the video game. 1:11:34.439 --> 1:11:36.519 He thinks video games are cool. I think I think 1:11:36.560 --> 1:11:38.280 maybe Disney is trying to test to see if people 1:11:38.280 --> 1:11:40.639 are gravitating towards it. And if they like it. He's 1:11:40.680 --> 1:11:43.120 now watched Record Ralph probably seventeen times, in the second 1:11:43.160 --> 1:11:45.400 one twenty times, so they're getting the data from my 1:11:45.439 --> 1:11:47.360 household that we want to we want a third one, 1:11:48.000 --> 1:11:50.240 we want to ride, Open to Ride. It's kind of 1:11:50.280 --> 1:11:53.280 like an animated version of Ready Player one. Have you 1:11:53.320 --> 1:11:55.679 watched that? Oh yeah, oh my god, what an awesome movie. Amazing. 1:11:55.720 --> 1:11:57.000 They're coming out of the second one for that, and 1:11:57.080 --> 1:12:00.479 I think it's this year I've been waiting. That is 1:12:00.520 --> 1:12:02.880 my favorite movie of all time. I put it in 1:12:02.960 --> 1:12:06.040 my top ten, Like it's definitely an awesome, cool, cool, 1:12:06.120 --> 1:12:08.960 fun concept really and that there could not saying it 1:12:08.960 --> 1:12:10.280 could be, but it seems like it could be a 1:12:10.360 --> 1:12:12.360 reality for us a thousand years not kind of thing. Yep. 1:12:12.520 --> 1:12:15.200 It literally if I'm I'm picturing and you and I 1:12:15.280 --> 1:12:17.400 have both liked all three of these, Yeah, we've got 1:12:17.479 --> 1:12:21.120 Record Ralph, Ready Player one, and Upload. Yeah yeah, all 1:12:21.200 --> 1:12:25.360 in that same capacity. Yes, different versions, different plots, different realities, 1:12:25.479 --> 1:12:28.160 but that kind of thing, yeah, same vibe. Okay, this 1:12:28.360 --> 1:12:31.920 makes sense now now we we've we've found our genre genre. 1:12:31.960 --> 1:12:35.040 Oh yeah, oh so good. Okay, But what I was 1:12:35.080 --> 1:12:38.519 talking about with Lunchbox was, I don't think. And the 1:12:38.600 --> 1:12:40.040 kid that you're watching it with, how old is he? 1:12:40.400 --> 1:12:43.519 He turns five, like in a couple of weeks. I 1:12:43.720 --> 1:12:47.760 don't think until kids are about eight or nine do 1:12:47.920 --> 1:12:51.960 they quite understand the plot. They lash onto characters, definitely, 1:12:52.160 --> 1:12:54.679 and they love characters, but like as far as what's 1:12:54.720 --> 1:12:58.519 happening that how the storyline? Yeah, that's my theory. I 1:12:58.560 --> 1:12:59.880 don't know if it's correct. It's more of it just 1:13:00.120 --> 1:13:02.200 a theory. I'm not stuck to it. But what do 1:13:02.280 --> 1:13:03.960 you think? Do you think your kid is like I 1:13:04.080 --> 1:13:06.519 get this, I know what's happening, So I think it's 1:13:07.160 --> 1:13:08.920 in general, I think most kids just because like even 1:13:09.280 --> 1:13:11.120 us as a kid, or we'd watch stuff and just 1:13:11.200 --> 1:13:12.640 go right over our heads so we don't get the 1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:14.720 emotional scenes whatever. But my son, which is really weird, 1:13:15.040 --> 1:13:18.080 he's connected to all emotions. Like my son and then 1:13:18.080 --> 1:13:20.519 even my daughter who's two. When there's like a loves 1:13:20.640 --> 1:13:22.120 like I'm not a love scene, but like when someone 1:13:22.439 --> 1:13:26.479 like Entangled, when um, when what's her name? The girl 1:13:26.520 --> 1:13:29.160 with a long hair of punzel Punzel and she has 1:13:29.200 --> 1:13:32.639 like that falling for a finn the guy like there'll 1:13:32.680 --> 1:13:35.240 be a part where or even in Tarzan when Tarzan 1:13:35.320 --> 1:13:37.320 meets Jane. I remember I watched her and she was 1:13:37.400 --> 1:13:39.120 watching it and like they were doing that, like the 1:13:39.280 --> 1:13:40.880 you could tell her it's like starting to flirt. My 1:13:41.000 --> 1:13:42.920 daughter would like cover her eyes and watch it like 1:13:43.000 --> 1:13:45.479 this with a smile. I'm like nervous for a love scene. 1:13:45.520 --> 1:13:48.120 I'm like what, Like, how do you even know that's happening? 1:13:48.160 --> 1:13:50.439 And then my son would get sad, like when and 1:13:50.600 --> 1:13:52.519 going back to wreck at Ralph when her car got 1:13:52.560 --> 1:13:54.280 smashed by all those girls. He was like, why are 1:13:54.320 --> 1:13:55.840 those girls? That's so mean? Why are they doing that? 1:13:55.840 --> 1:13:57.880 And he would get really sad, and I was like, 1:13:57.920 --> 1:13:59.639 oh my god, Like I didn't even like think about 1:13:59.680 --> 1:14:01.360 those things as a kid. I don't know if it's 1:14:01.360 --> 1:14:02.960 because the way we're raising them or just how the 1:14:03.000 --> 1:14:05.639 world is evolving and changing now. If people are thinking 1:14:05.680 --> 1:14:08.200 about things, well, my kids are like they gravitate towards 1:14:08.240 --> 1:14:11.519 the emotional side of film and television shows of when 1:14:11.600 --> 1:14:14.280 it's sad or happy or whatever. And I just watched 1:14:14.320 --> 1:14:16.439 him going like WHOA. I just would watch this and go, 1:14:16.600 --> 1:14:19.960 they're racking around, this is cool, But he's like actually 1:14:20.000 --> 1:14:22.759 getting sad and feeling for them, and for their emotions 1:14:22.800 --> 1:14:24.679 and feelings. I'm like, who the hell, you're not even 1:14:24.800 --> 1:14:27.880 five yet. What the hell? So they are. I'm not 1:14:27.960 --> 1:14:29.599 saying all kids are, but my kids for some reason 1:14:29.640 --> 1:14:33.000 are very connected to emotions. Well my only like connection 1:14:33.040 --> 1:14:35.160 because I obviously don't have kids. It's just more I 1:14:35.280 --> 1:14:37.240 was thinking back to being a kid, and I was like, 1:14:37.439 --> 1:14:39.679 maybe when I was nine or tended, I really start 1:14:39.760 --> 1:14:43.439 to like connect and love shows and like have an 1:14:43.479 --> 1:14:45.920 idea of what was going on. Yeah, but I didn't 1:14:46.000 --> 1:14:48.360 know if that was still the case. It's super interesting. Yeah. 1:14:48.439 --> 1:14:50.120 I was like I was interested by it, Like, wow, 1:14:50.160 --> 1:14:52.000 you actually like you're feeling this, Like you should just 1:14:52.080 --> 1:14:55.240 watch and just laugh at me. You're emotionally connected now, 1:14:55.400 --> 1:14:58.400 I was like, helly, okay, cool dude. Yeah, so it's 1:14:58.400 --> 1:15:02.000 not everyone, but they are definitely emotionally at things. I 1:15:02.120 --> 1:15:03.880 was like, okay, well, hey, and if you have kids, 1:15:03.960 --> 1:15:06.080 please let me know. I'm just so curious about this 1:15:06.240 --> 1:15:09.120 of just like the evolution of like if it's still 1:15:09.160 --> 1:15:11.439 the same, if it's different, And to your point, maybe 1:15:11.520 --> 1:15:14.680 we just because we're evolving, that's also evolving too, which 1:15:14.760 --> 1:15:16.519 is great. We should be evolving in human race, so 1:15:16.600 --> 1:15:20.439 I'm good with that. Yeah, wild, well, I am stoked. 1:15:20.520 --> 1:15:23.559 Can I share my excitement with you? No, I'm good. 1:15:24.560 --> 1:15:29.840 Can you take it back? Because the first episode of 1:15:29.920 --> 1:15:31.920 the new season of The Mandalorian came out and I 1:15:32.080 --> 1:15:35.280 am so happy. I saw Anthony Mackie posting something about it, 1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:37.240 like you wanted to be a part of Mandalorian or whatever. Oh, 1:15:37.280 --> 1:15:39.479 I do love Anthony Mackie. Yeah, so he's not part 1:15:39.520 --> 1:15:42.679 of that. Imagine. No, he's not the Star Wars universe. Man. 1:15:42.880 --> 1:15:44.640 And like, if there are two things I love, it's 1:15:44.680 --> 1:15:48.400 Marvel and Star Wars, like and Harry Potter. Yeah, I'm 1:15:48.439 --> 1:15:51.720 an old school Harry Potter girl. Yeah that's from back 1:15:51.760 --> 1:15:56.200 in the day. But I man, Mandalorian is just so 1:15:56.600 --> 1:15:58.479 freaking good. Even on a level of not being a 1:15:58.520 --> 1:16:01.080 Star Wars fan. It's well because you know, when you're 1:16:01.120 --> 1:16:03.799 involved in all these characters and the storylines of what's happened. 1:16:04.400 --> 1:16:08.000 But Mando and Grogu, who are the two main people 1:16:08.080 --> 1:16:11.080 in this, it's just so awesome. Like I literally got 1:16:11.160 --> 1:16:13.679 chillbumps while when they first came out, like a newer 1:16:13.840 --> 1:16:15.639 because I've never I've never heard of from like Star 1:16:15.720 --> 1:16:17.840 Wars is a newer because I know they're creating a 1:16:17.840 --> 1:16:21.000 lot of new things and people. So Grogu and Mando 1:16:21.080 --> 1:16:22.880 we're not a part of any of the original Star Wars. 1:16:23.880 --> 1:16:26.080 They are still part of the storyline in the sense 1:16:26.160 --> 1:16:30.479 there's connections because Grogu is what used to be baby Yoda. 1:16:30.800 --> 1:16:33.879 He is baby Yoda. Okay, gotcha, but his name is Grogu. 1:16:34.360 --> 1:16:36.640 Is he evolve into Yoda at some point? Oh, we 1:16:36.720 --> 1:16:38.960 don't know. I mean, he's still technically a baby at 1:16:39.000 --> 1:16:41.320 this point, but he's a species of Yoda, so he's 1:16:41.360 --> 1:16:44.360 not like a young Yoda. It's just the same species. 1:16:45.560 --> 1:16:49.000 But the Jedi are involved, Mandalorians are involved, and so 1:16:49.200 --> 1:16:52.240 there's definitely connections to that Star Wars story and a 1:16:52.320 --> 1:16:54.559 lot of things that happened, and a lot of old 1:16:54.640 --> 1:16:57.040 characters have made appearances in the show over the course 1:16:57.080 --> 1:17:00.280 of time. So it's really really good. But just like 1:17:00.560 --> 1:17:03.160 I'm not kidding, it is one of my favorite TV 1:17:03.240 --> 1:17:05.679 shows of all time. So this is the second season 1:17:05.720 --> 1:17:08.240 of it. This is the first episode of the third. 1:17:08.320 --> 1:17:09.960 I haven't seen any of it. I'm so far behind 1:17:10.000 --> 1:17:12.360 all that. Did you did you watch the original Star 1:17:12.360 --> 1:17:14.200 Wars movies? Yeah, I've watched the original Star Wars. Yeah, 1:17:14.200 --> 1:17:15.920 I've seen Star Wars. And then I'm telling you, like, 1:17:15.960 --> 1:17:18.839 even if you don't watch anything else, like, this series 1:17:19.040 --> 1:17:21.560 is far and above one of my favorite. It's just 1:17:21.680 --> 1:17:24.840 so good. Okay, and I haven't seared wrong yet, you 1:17:24.920 --> 1:17:29.040 know you haven't. Trying to thank you. It was probably 1:17:29.040 --> 1:17:31.280 one of the best suggestions you've given me, Like you 1:17:31.360 --> 1:17:33.080 did love that one. That was awesome. Yeah, you haven't 1:17:33.080 --> 1:17:35.080 starden me wrong yet, so we're good. See, I'm telling 1:17:35.160 --> 1:17:38.920 you this one, this is a good one. And Pedro 1:17:39.040 --> 1:17:41.640 Pascal is the one that plays Mandalorian. Okay, cool, and 1:17:41.760 --> 1:17:43.760 I just love him as an actor as well. He's 1:17:44.040 --> 1:17:46.280 like major popular right now. He's been in a lot 1:17:46.320 --> 1:17:49.240 of things. But yeah, Mandalorian came out. They give you 1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:50.960 the full season at once, or they like slow dripping 1:17:51.000 --> 1:17:53.400 him out just one episode. I love that. That's why 1:17:53.400 --> 1:17:55.640 it's supposed to be. Yep, it's really good. But now 1:17:55.680 --> 1:17:57.479 I'm like, and they ended all they always ended on 1:17:57.520 --> 1:18:00.439 a freaking cliffhanger. Hell yeah, that's what us when you'd 1:18:00.439 --> 1:18:03.720 watch live television, you get to this huge cliffhanger and 1:18:03.720 --> 1:18:05.240 then like someone's about to jump off a cliff and 1:18:05.240 --> 1:18:08.120 they would stop it be like next week on Fugitive 1:18:08.240 --> 1:18:10.760 You're like, oh, like, dang, that's how I'm sitting. I 1:18:10.840 --> 1:18:12.599 was like, you've got to be kidney to me. Hell yeah, 1:18:12.600 --> 1:18:14.960 I'm all about that. Yep. So it's very good. You 1:18:15.000 --> 1:18:17.599 will enjoy it, all right, Cool, that's my recommendation. But also, 1:18:18.120 --> 1:18:21.080 do you remember the Scary Movie series? Yeah with um 1:18:21.439 --> 1:18:23.439 like the funny scary movies. Yes, they where they basic 1:18:23.439 --> 1:18:26.160 it ad a parody of Scream, Yes, yes, yeah. In Casper, 1:18:26.360 --> 1:18:30.000 obviously you were talking about the actor, and so I 1:18:30.200 --> 1:18:33.960 watched like the best modern mix of those two movies 1:18:34.080 --> 1:18:38.040 in a long time of Casper and scary movie. That's 1:18:38.080 --> 1:18:41.320 a weird combination, I know. And speaking of Anthony Mackie, 1:18:41.400 --> 1:18:43.280 he's in it. He starts in it. Okay. It's a 1:18:43.320 --> 1:18:45.439 new Netflix movie called We Have a Ghost. Oh. I 1:18:45.479 --> 1:18:48.160 saw that. It was my like like suggestion things, and 1:18:48.320 --> 1:18:51.160 it was so good. I loved every minute of it. Like, 1:18:51.400 --> 1:18:53.479 of course has cheesy moments. That's why I say, like 1:18:53.560 --> 1:18:56.040 it is, I'm okay with some cheese. It's it's scary 1:18:56.120 --> 1:18:59.040 movie and Casper combined because like there's definitely an emotional 1:18:59.120 --> 1:19:02.080 thing that happens there. Hilarious moments that I laughed out loud. 1:19:02.200 --> 1:19:04.160 I was crying at the end. I was got the 1:19:04.160 --> 1:19:06.200 guy from Stranger Things in it, David Harbor. Yeah, he 1:19:06.320 --> 1:19:09.160 got Tack Natara all of her. Yeah. It's just great cast, 1:19:09.400 --> 1:19:12.840 just so so good, really cool, And I don't like 1:19:13.040 --> 1:19:16.160 scary movies like this is definitely like a humor scary 1:19:16.680 --> 1:19:19.480 type situation. That's why I say it's the perfect combination 1:19:19.520 --> 1:19:23.160 of scary movie series and Casper. Yeah. Really cool. Okay, Yeah, 1:19:23.240 --> 1:19:24.519 I've seen previous four it and I was like, yeah, 1:19:24.560 --> 1:19:26.920 maybe I'll get to whatever. I feel like a no take, 1:19:27.040 --> 1:19:29.160 Like I know her personally? Really what do I feel like? 1:19:29.200 --> 1:19:32.240 I know her? I think the only girl that I'm 1:19:32.280 --> 1:19:34.960 thinking of. Oh yeah, okay, so yes she I was 1:19:35.040 --> 1:19:36.600 thinking of the wife in the movie. But yes she 1:19:36.840 --> 1:19:38.360 isn't it. I feel like I know her, know her 1:19:38.360 --> 1:19:40.160 like from way back to the really yeah, I don't 1:19:40.160 --> 1:19:41.640 know why she looks so familiar, like I've seen her 1:19:41.680 --> 1:19:43.679 and talk to her. She's also in a decent amount 1:19:43.680 --> 1:19:46.080 of shows too, Okay, but I don't know if that 1:19:46.200 --> 1:19:47.840 has anything to do with it. But she's definitely a 1:19:47.880 --> 1:19:50.719 big actor. But I'm a big fan of Anthony Mackie. 1:19:50.800 --> 1:19:54.000 He's great. Cool, So that whole I'm telling you, this 1:19:54.120 --> 1:19:56.360 is a great movie. So if you have some downtime 1:19:56.640 --> 1:19:58.760 this weekend to watch it, because I think you'll get 1:19:58.800 --> 1:20:01.519 a good laugh. You'll it's like full of satire and 1:20:01.640 --> 1:20:04.120 it was just like the whole movie from start to finish, 1:20:04.240 --> 1:20:07.600 was very enjoyable to watch it. Can I can my 1:20:07.720 --> 1:20:11.280 kids watch it? Yea kid? Yeah. It's not like there's 1:20:11.280 --> 1:20:15.560 nothing bad in it that happens. It's like there's I 1:20:15.600 --> 1:20:17.559 don't even think there's any cuss words. Maybe there might 1:20:17.600 --> 1:20:20.360 be one or two, like or they get scared. Yeah, Like, 1:20:20.439 --> 1:20:22.920 I don't even think there's cuss words in it. It's 1:20:23.040 --> 1:20:26.120 very like family friendly, cool and not scary at all. 1:20:26.200 --> 1:20:28.560 There's like moments where they you know, they try and 1:20:28.600 --> 1:20:30.559 get you. Yeah, but it's like Disney, so it's fake. 1:20:30.800 --> 1:20:33.439 Yeah yeah, yeah, I feel so. I think you like 1:20:33.560 --> 1:20:36.800 that one. That's another So if Mandalorian and we have 1:20:36.880 --> 1:20:40.120 a ghost on Netflix? Okay, algestions, How is it a 1:20:40.200 --> 1:20:42.160 long movie or were I talking like Old School nine 1:20:42.160 --> 1:20:43.600 any more? Yeah? I think it's maybe an hour and 1:20:43.640 --> 1:20:46.320 a half. It didn't feel long. I don't actually know 1:20:46.400 --> 1:20:48.320 the runtime on it, but it didn't feel long because 1:20:48.320 --> 1:20:50.760 it was so good. Okay, cool, So I think you'll 1:20:50.800 --> 1:20:53.080 like it. And that's all I have you got any 1:20:53.120 --> 1:20:55.680 others besides your Record Ralph series. I think that's the 1:20:55.760 --> 1:20:58.320 only thing he's been watching Record Ralph. I'm trying to think. 1:20:58.520 --> 1:21:01.240 And then he's I don't know why, but he's like 1:21:01.320 --> 1:21:06.120 recently become obsessed with watching UM song like alternative esh 1:21:06.240 --> 1:21:09.920 rock songs paired with almost like movie promos because he 1:21:10.040 --> 1:21:12.160 likes Sonic and all that. So he's been listening to 1:21:12.680 --> 1:21:16.040 the ever Living crap at a Fallout Boy because for 1:21:16.200 --> 1:21:19.120 some reason, Sonic and Fallout Boy. Oh Boy and Sonic 1:21:19.160 --> 1:21:21.040 are going to be the death of you. Yeah, so 1:21:21.240 --> 1:21:23.960 he's And then also because they're paired with they're very 1:21:24.040 --> 1:21:26.280 much Disney now because Fallout Boy sings the Big Hero 1:21:26.479 --> 1:21:29.439 six and um all that and like Spider Man Spidy 1:21:29.520 --> 1:21:32.920 Universe theme songs. Let's like not play it under. I mean, 1:21:33.080 --> 1:21:36.160 these guys are underrated when it comes to creating theme music. 1:21:36.439 --> 1:21:38.400 Oh but they have that. And what's cool is they're 1:21:38.479 --> 1:21:41.040 they're the sound. They're the because even when when when 1:21:41.040 --> 1:21:43.600 they were newer back in the two thousands, I was 1:21:43.640 --> 1:21:46.760 like they have a very theatrical sound to their performance, 1:21:46.840 --> 1:21:49.120 their vocals, the music. I was always like, this is 1:21:49.160 --> 1:21:51.320 like movie music, this is TV show music. And they 1:21:51.400 --> 1:21:53.000 finally kind of like got in there and did it. 1:21:53.240 --> 1:21:54.960 And music has always been featured, but now it's like 1:21:55.000 --> 1:21:57.559 they are at the staple for Disney cartoons and an 1:21:57.600 --> 1:22:00.920 action hero type for kids movies. And and I never 1:22:01.000 --> 1:22:03.080 saw that coming. I never saw like, never fall Out 1:22:03.120 --> 1:22:06.479 Boy collab Disney. I just never picture that. But it's perfect. 1:22:06.520 --> 1:22:08.560 And they're all parents, they got kids that love it 1:22:08.560 --> 1:22:09.880 and watch it, so I'm sure for them it's like 1:22:09.920 --> 1:22:11.840 this is so cool. But kids, my kids probably now 1:22:11.920 --> 1:22:14.280 finally get to care by music because it's in things 1:22:14.320 --> 1:22:16.640 they care about, ye and so yeah, So so he 1:22:16.760 --> 1:22:22.280 loves freaking Centuries fall Out Boy Century and he has 1:22:22.280 --> 1:22:24.160 like a whole dance routine and he listens to it 1:22:24.280 --> 1:22:26.240 and like it's like, oh my god. And then he 1:22:26.320 --> 1:22:29.400 loves Imagine Dragons Believer because that's another song that they 1:22:29.479 --> 1:22:31.960 play within these videos or whatever. And I'm like, I'm 1:22:32.000 --> 1:22:33.840 listening to songs that I used to hear in the 1:22:33.960 --> 1:22:36.400 radio and then eventually not want to hear it anymore. 1:22:36.640 --> 1:22:38.960 And now I'm hearing around my house over and over 1:22:39.160 --> 1:22:44.000 and over and over and over and over, and I'm 1:22:44.080 --> 1:22:46.400 over it. I love him, and I don't want to 1:22:46.439 --> 1:22:48.760 like kill the creativity because then he goes out into 1:22:48.760 --> 1:22:51.280 the drum set and tries to play believer on my 1:22:51.360 --> 1:22:54.360 drum set. Keep happening. Yeah, I don't want to kill 1:22:54.360 --> 1:22:56.120 the creativity. So in my head, I'm like, this is 1:22:56.200 --> 1:22:58.400 so stupid. So I'm flying it, but I'm like, I 1:22:58.439 --> 1:23:01.080 don't want to. I don't want to be like other 1:23:01.160 --> 1:23:04.479 people and be like, stop doing that. You gotta let 1:23:04.560 --> 1:23:08.120 him keep exploring exactly exploring is key. Then, speaking of 1:23:08.200 --> 1:23:10.880 your kids, Scoopa, Steve, I want to hear how everything's going. 1:23:10.960 --> 1:23:14.040 You got three kids, Oh yeah, and it's a whole 1:23:14.120 --> 1:23:15.680 thing happening at your house, so I want to hear 1:23:15.680 --> 1:23:18.080 all about it, full whole thing. What's going on. So 1:23:18.200 --> 1:23:20.080 it's I think we talked about it somewhat. I don't 1:23:20.120 --> 1:23:21.400 and I don't know what we talked about on the 1:23:21.439 --> 1:23:25.120 show or in the hallways or whatever. But the interesting 1:23:25.200 --> 1:23:27.960 part of it is the dynamic of three kids that 1:23:28.080 --> 1:23:31.479 are all under five and then trying to navigate through that, 1:23:32.040 --> 1:23:34.519 and then they're all trying to figure them they're all 1:23:34.640 --> 1:23:37.320 learning everything from scratch. You got a kid who's almost 1:23:37.360 --> 1:23:39.240 five and he's trying to figure out everything. He's about 1:23:39.240 --> 1:23:40.680 to start going to school and stuff, so that's a 1:23:40.760 --> 1:23:43.680 whole thing. And then you have my daughter who's two 1:23:43.800 --> 1:23:46.280 and she just got potty trained, and then we're trying 1:23:46.280 --> 1:23:48.200 to figure things out with her. And then you have 1:23:48.320 --> 1:23:50.080 the infant, and that's a whole other thing. And then 1:23:50.080 --> 1:23:52.080 they're trying to acclimate with the infant. And then my 1:23:52.120 --> 1:23:54.080 wife doesn't work anymore, so she's trying to acclimates. Are 1:23:54.080 --> 1:23:55.640 not working anymore being a stay at home mom, and 1:23:56.160 --> 1:23:58.400 family's not around. So oh my god. It is in 1:23:58.960 --> 1:24:03.400 a whirlwind a lot that. I mean, do you feel 1:24:03.479 --> 1:24:07.400 like your older two kids have accepted the new one? Oh? Yeah, 1:24:07.400 --> 1:24:09.519 they love her, okay, Like my oldest love is holding 1:24:09.600 --> 1:24:11.040 her and he tries to pick her up and walk around, 1:24:11.080 --> 1:24:14.960 which is very scary over the wood floors like the 1:24:15.080 --> 1:24:16.880 yet like I would put him in her lap and 1:24:16.920 --> 1:24:18.240 then like, hey, hold her for a second. I'm gonna 1:24:18.240 --> 1:24:20.040 go to the bathroom through the bathroom or let me 1:24:20.120 --> 1:24:22.840 grab a bottle or something, and I'll come back and like, look, dad, 1:24:22.880 --> 1:24:25.559 I'm carrying her and I'm like, put it now. Put 1:24:25.920 --> 1:24:28.640 Oh cool, really all awesome, dude, Okay, go back to 1:24:28.720 --> 1:24:31.360 the couch, sit back down. Well, And I don't want 1:24:31.360 --> 1:24:32.840 to go again. I don't want to always be like 1:24:32.880 --> 1:24:35.080 telling them no. And so I'm like, oh wow, good job, 1:24:35.120 --> 1:24:39.439 but okay, but you're also like internally screaming yes exactly, 1:24:39.479 --> 1:24:41.240 I'm screaming at the top my lengs in side, like 1:24:41.240 --> 1:24:43.000 oh my godho's'trub don't rub na dropper and I don't 1:24:43.080 --> 1:24:45.360 scare him because they woldropp her. So I'm like, okay, 1:24:45.400 --> 1:24:47.320 good job. Now, go towards the couch now and sit 1:24:47.400 --> 1:24:49.639 back down. So there's a lot of that, like everyone 1:24:49.760 --> 1:24:52.400 kind of learning each other, and everyone's because everyone's in 1:24:52.400 --> 1:24:55.280 different stages of their lives, like completely different stages of 1:24:55.320 --> 1:24:57.960 their lives. So it's just a lot of that and 1:24:58.000 --> 1:25:00.439 a lot it's emotionally draining and then having a full 1:25:00.479 --> 1:25:02.400 time job and then my wife having a different kind 1:25:02.400 --> 1:25:04.360 of full time job and then coming home and trying 1:25:04.360 --> 1:25:07.240 to find time for us, and it is a it's 1:25:07.880 --> 1:25:09.599 it's I mean, I don't want to complain, but it's 1:25:09.920 --> 1:25:12.200 kind of almost sound like a you know, sound like 1:25:12.400 --> 1:25:14.400 in that way because I'm blessed of all the great 1:25:14.439 --> 1:25:17.760 things that I have, but it's a lot, it's a lot. 1:25:18.160 --> 1:25:21.000 Oh my god, I can't I can't even imagine what 1:25:21.240 --> 1:25:24.280 that's like, having three kids, Like I can't imagine one. 1:25:24.520 --> 1:25:26.240 And I wanted it. I asked for it. So it's 1:25:26.280 --> 1:25:28.519 like I can't say, how did this happened? I asked 1:25:28.520 --> 1:25:30.760 for it? Now you wanted it, and you do want it. 1:25:30.840 --> 1:25:33.960 And as you know, they get older and there's gonna 1:25:33.960 --> 1:25:35.840 be so many exciting things to happen. But definitely in 1:25:35.920 --> 1:25:38.120 this moment when you guys are all learning and understanding 1:25:38.200 --> 1:25:43.000 things hard, it's hard hard. How is your wife doing? 1:25:43.760 --> 1:25:46.800 She is, She's doing fine. She's doing as good as 1:25:46.840 --> 1:25:49.760 she can again because she's transitioning from she's always having 1:25:49.840 --> 1:25:51.519 she she has her master, has her degree, like she 1:25:51.640 --> 1:25:55.680 has her full one degree. Masters. Yeah, no, bachelor's. Oh 1:25:55.720 --> 1:25:57.920 my god, she's a bachelor's degree. Honestly, she has a 1:25:57.960 --> 1:26:00.160 master's and being a mom, so I take it that's 1:26:00.160 --> 1:26:02.440 the exactly master to her mom. She has her bachelor's 1:26:02.479 --> 1:26:04.320 but she wanted to go for her master's but went 1:26:04.400 --> 1:26:06.519 the career out and like she's always worked full times 1:26:06.520 --> 1:26:08.720 and she was like fifteen sixteen. So's I always been 1:26:08.720 --> 1:26:10.800 a career driven person and going to school and working 1:26:10.880 --> 1:26:12.960 full time all that stuff. So this is her first 1:26:13.000 --> 1:26:15.599 time to have been able to have pulled back away 1:26:15.640 --> 1:26:17.799 from the work world and then put into a family, 1:26:18.120 --> 1:26:20.040 which is a whole different thing. It's another full time job. 1:26:20.120 --> 1:26:22.559 It's a lot, it's stressful, and she's breastfeeding and trying 1:26:22.560 --> 1:26:24.000 to watch two of her kids while I'm at work. 1:26:24.080 --> 1:26:26.360 And then I'm trying to come home as fast as 1:26:26.360 --> 1:26:27.639 I can, and but I still a lot of things 1:26:27.680 --> 1:26:30.000 I gotta do, and I always feel guilty being here late, 1:26:30.040 --> 1:26:31.880 and so I'm trying to like balance my work schedule 1:26:31.920 --> 1:26:34.120 of coming home and then working from home a little bit. 1:26:34.120 --> 1:26:35.519 But it's hard work from home because as soon as 1:26:35.520 --> 1:26:37.160 I get home and I put the laptop down, the 1:26:37.240 --> 1:26:39.240 kids want to play at my laptop and they're they're 1:26:39.280 --> 1:26:42.720 misfiring emails or star or like bleeding things. I'm having 1:26:42.720 --> 1:26:46.920 to go by. I'm getting random emails as they all get. Yes, 1:26:46.960 --> 1:26:48.960 if you ever get anything weird or it's a half email, 1:26:49.080 --> 1:26:51.400 or I didn't respond to something, it's probalycast I got deleted, 1:26:51.479 --> 1:26:53.439 or they sent an email leedstions a scent and then 1:26:53.479 --> 1:26:54.960 I'm trying to then I'm not trying to be an 1:26:54.960 --> 1:26:57.439 ass and trying to like tell I'm like no, because 1:26:57.439 --> 1:26:59.479 i want to be able to be present while I'm home. 1:26:59.520 --> 1:27:00.920 But I'm also still having to try to find my 1:27:00.960 --> 1:27:03.000 time to do my thing and be on a conference 1:27:03.080 --> 1:27:05.879 call and trying to be a family man and navigate 1:27:05.960 --> 1:27:09.559 and balance this. And it is difficult. It is so difficult. 1:27:09.840 --> 1:27:13.439 So hey, I've praised y'all so much because parenting live. 1:27:13.640 --> 1:27:14.920 I don't know if I'm going out for it, but 1:27:15.080 --> 1:27:18.120 I love it for you guys. And it's not for everyone. 1:27:18.479 --> 1:27:20.240 Not everyone is meant to be a parent, or be 1:27:20.280 --> 1:27:22.320 a parent of multiple kids or whatever, or be a 1:27:22.400 --> 1:27:25.160 parent at certain times in their life. It's difficult. I mean, 1:27:25.160 --> 1:27:26.920 it is a beautiful thing. If you ever do decide 1:27:26.920 --> 1:27:29.360 to have children, it's really cool. It's beautiful and it's 1:27:29.360 --> 1:27:32.559 amazing Throughout through all of this like craziness, it's still 1:27:32.680 --> 1:27:35.479 really really amazing and really awesome. And to be able 1:27:35.520 --> 1:27:37.920 to be a part of that process. What was one 1:27:38.000 --> 1:27:40.439 moment you've had of the kids recently where you're like, Okay, 1:27:40.640 --> 1:27:44.360 this is all worth it, When like my oldest had 1:27:44.360 --> 1:27:46.240 a meltdown, and he was like, you're trying to calm 1:27:46.320 --> 1:27:48.280 him down because he's almost five and he doesn't get 1:27:48.320 --> 1:27:50.519 he's trying to figure out his emotions. And you're also 1:27:50.600 --> 1:27:54.240 trying to balance the attention between three because he because 1:27:54.280 --> 1:27:55.840 he was the oldest, and for a while there he 1:27:55.960 --> 1:27:59.000 got all the attention, and then a new one comes along. 1:27:59.000 --> 1:28:00.920 He's still got a lot of attention because then mom 1:28:00.960 --> 1:28:02.720 would be with the daughter and I'd be with my son, 1:28:02.840 --> 1:28:04.080 and so we still kind of split it. And I 1:28:04.200 --> 1:28:07.240 have three, so it's full on whatever. So one day 1:28:07.240 --> 1:28:09.080 he had like a full like meltdown and I don't 1:28:09.080 --> 1:28:10.400 even know what it was about, like maybe he's brushing 1:28:10.439 --> 1:28:12.639 his teeth or something stupid, but it was mostly because 1:28:12.640 --> 1:28:15.120 he was tired. And then um, and then I had 1:28:15.160 --> 1:28:16.439 to I forget what I had to go with the 1:28:16.479 --> 1:28:19.519 basketball practice or something, and then we got in the 1:28:19.600 --> 1:28:21.120 car and then he did this thing where he's like 1:28:21.760 --> 1:28:23.720 and he called me by my first name, and I 1:28:23.920 --> 1:28:27.320 was like, he goes Stephen, and I was it was 1:28:27.360 --> 1:28:29.760 like I look back and like I was like for 1:28:29.800 --> 1:28:33.120 a second, and I was like what Stephen. I was like, 1:28:33.120 --> 1:28:35.080 who the hell are you calling me? My calling my 1:28:35.240 --> 1:28:37.280 like my ro name was Stephen, and I was like Stephen. 1:28:37.360 --> 1:28:40.240 He goes, I'm sorry dad. He goes, I'm really sorry 1:28:40.400 --> 1:28:43.760 for the way I acted earlier and and I'm just really, 1:28:44.040 --> 1:28:46.280 I'm really emotional right now. I have really big feelings. 1:28:46.800 --> 1:28:48.519 And he and he was like, he's like, but I 1:28:48.600 --> 1:28:49.960 love you. He's like, get here, a big guy, give 1:28:49.960 --> 1:28:53.960 me a hug. Oh my god. I was like and 1:28:54.080 --> 1:28:55.800 I like started to like try to like hold back 1:28:55.840 --> 1:28:58.160 my tears. And I was like, wow, okay, this is 1:28:58.439 --> 1:28:59.880 this is worth it. And then my wife text him 1:28:59.920 --> 1:29:01.439 like moment later, I think, yeah, we were at basketball 1:29:01.479 --> 1:29:03.599 practice practice. Okay, this all hard to bring three kids 1:29:03.640 --> 1:29:05.920 of bastball practice thing happening. So then she texted me 1:29:06.000 --> 1:29:07.439 and she was having a good moment with my two 1:29:07.560 --> 1:29:09.680 daughters and so oh that's really cool. Like she's like, 1:29:09.720 --> 1:29:10.880 this is all worth it.
