We made it to a year considering 32 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: the very first line of this podcast was Gavin saying, 33 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: we're just trying not to say stuff to wreck our 34 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: own careers. True, we made it. I don't know about you, guys, 35 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: but I'm still waiting for a check. It's been a year. 36 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: It's true. We really started this podcast to get Gavin 37 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: and Grotto, but so all all of our checks have 38 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: kind of just been going Gavin's way.

You know what I think the line. 59 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Let's here's a question to you guys. What do you 60 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: think the line of the year was? I have mine 61 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: the funniest moment of the year. Oh, I know what 62 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: yours is. It's the one that Ryan said when he 63 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: goes mind. Oh no, No, that was a good one. 64 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: That was a good one. The the hardest I laughed, 65 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: I think all the year was Dmitri when you said, 66 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: what's Judy sex? It was with Leela Debil We did. 67 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: I think it was like episode four, Yeah, and and 68 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: you just were I just looked at you and you 69 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: said it right at the perfect moment. And because anybody 70 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: heard it, what did she say? She said duty sex, 71 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: meaning like you have to do it. Yeah, but we 72 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: all heard Judy sex. And she's like, you know how 73 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: you have Judy sex? And we're all like the room 74 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: just got quiet, and I was like, I'm assuming everyone 75 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: else hearned out. I don't know. Yeah, grant that I'm 76 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: not like sexual, no at all, but I've never heard 77 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: of Judy sex. And I was for sure that wasn't 78 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: in your Comma Sutra instructional. Does anybody else have off? 79 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: This is just off the cuff? Does anybody else have 80 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: a line? The funniest line of the year, the funniest 81 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: thing somebody said the entire year. God, no, I don't 82 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: I don't remember the year. I mean, I think if 83 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 1: you remember, I gotta go to Gavin. And the problem, 84 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,479 Speaker 1: the reason that I don't remember is because it was 85 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 1: one of those just that he yells out. He's yelled 86 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: out things like where's my check, He's yelled out things 87 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: like I need a steak. So he's yelled out these 88 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: random you know, it's gonna come to me. He didn't 89 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: yell out one at one point somebody else go, but 90 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna come to me. He yelled at something so random, 91 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: and I was like, it took me a minute to 92 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: realize what the hell he was talking about. This is 93 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: This is the one that I thought was Gavin's best 94 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: one of remembering how he does all the hypotheticals. If 95 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: you listen to How Many Think podcasts, you'll find a 96 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: Gavin de Graw hypothetical. And the best one of all 97 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: time was talking about uni brow a woman like if 98 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: a woman shaving her eyebrows, maybe she might need a 99 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 1: uni brow in case she gets stuck in cold weather 100 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: outside of the Mall America Wall of America in Minneaports. Yeah, 101 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: it was that her car broke down and she needed 102 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: the warmth. That was the day that the listeners realized 103 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: that none of this was scripted, because there's no in 104 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: hell anyone would script that. It's just a crazy mind 105 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: to Gavin to grow. Mean, what if she needed a 106 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: uni brow to keep warm? Yeah, okay, that's clear to 107 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: nip the small sweater out of and wear it does? 108 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: Does anybody else have a line or should we go 109 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: to Easton? No? I was trying to think of something funny, 110 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: you said. Over the course of the year, Brooks and 111 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: I have yet to come up with anything, so we 112 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: should probably all right, he said, you're up, Wow, after 113 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: that devastating burn out. Here's our first question. What have 114 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: you learned about yourself in the last year? Um, I'm 115 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: getting fatter. I went from a thirty three to thirty six? 116 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: Does that? Does that work? Podcast? Life does not sit 117 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: well with you? Well, fun I've learned that I like 118 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: Rick's second shin better than his third. Oh man, this 119 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: is not This is not the way this show was 120 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: meant to go. You should go back to the Seinfeld quotes. 121 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: These guys gonna start you think, I mean tears by 122 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: the time this is over. Serious Okay, two to three 123 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: sentences each guy? What have you learned the most about 124 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: you or something unique that you've learned about yourself through 125 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: this journey the last year, Rick, you're up, I'll go, 126 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: uh podcast journey. You know, to be honest, At the 127 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: very beginning, I was talking to Amy when we were 128 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: just you know, coming up with a lot of this stuff, 129 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: and I was super hesitant on doing it. Um. I 130 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: never thought that I was going to be a somebody 131 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: to talk and be on the radio or a podcast 132 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: or any of that nature. And UM, I am certainly 133 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: glad that I did it. Um. It was sort of 134 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: a fear of mine. I wouldn't consider this public speaking, 135 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: but I think when you hear yourself on a microphone, UM, 136 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: or you listen to an episode, I always kind of cramped, like, 137 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: oh that was me. But I've definitely gotten over that fear, 138 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: and that was something this podcast helped me leap over. UM. 139 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: And so now when I'm talking to work colleagues or 140 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: I'm on a running a meeting or anything of that nature, 141 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: I think this has actually really helped me. UM. And 142 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you guys, which is super comfortable and fun, 143 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: but we're also talking to our audience, right. So UM, 144 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: that was something that I definitely learned and enjoyed through 145 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: this journey with you guys. So it's been fabulous and um, 146 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: I always think about it and I'm always laughing at 147 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 1: the end of these awesome I do what about your brother? Uh? 148 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: You know, well, I'm not gonna I don't know if 149 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: the question was meant to be what we've learned most 150 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: about ourselves through the podcast or just in general over 151 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: the last year, I would say, Um, for me, I 152 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: and this isn't part based on the the amount of 153 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: feedback I've gotten from you guys and from listeners, which 154 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: basically my takeaway is that I need to be make 155 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: concerted efforts in the next year to be more go 156 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: with the flow. I think I'm very schedule oriented, regimented. 157 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: I think structure gives me sanity and peace of mind. 158 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: But I need to find a happy medium as best 159 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: I can to have to be able to just be 160 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: flexible and not be so regimented with schedule. And I'm 161 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: going to make strides to do exactly that. That's powerful awareness, dude. 162 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: I can resonate with that because I was the same way. 163 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: I was very when my schedule got interrupted. It just 164 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: derailed my whole like thing like, So that's powerful awareness. 165 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: That's I'm I'm happy for you, but that's that's incredible. 166 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: I will tell you my my two children are waiting 167 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: for me to put them down right now, which is later. 168 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: It will be later than normal. And the amount of 169 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: anxiety I have is tremendous. So how long will it take? You? 170 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: Do you want to go? Do it now? And we'll 171 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: ask the other guys this question. No, keep going, keep going, Dmitri, 172 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: that's the big step right there, he said, keep going. 173 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: He's gonna roll with it. Uh. I gotta tell you 174 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: what I've realized over this year doing the podcast is, Um, 175 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm not as open as I originally thought. It was like, 176 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: I know, I got a lot of feeling I don't 177 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: share a lot of feelings. I don't share a lot 178 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: of memories. I don't share a lot of things that 179 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: kind of affected my life. And um, and I think 180 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: I've I've grown work accustomed to that. Number one, I 181 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: think we have such a a good We get along 182 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: so well, the five of us, and I think as 183 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: we were talking it it was like the microphone wasn't 184 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: there and we were just really having a conversation and 185 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: that kind of helped me. And then seeing some of 186 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: the stuff that people would post in this that you know, 187 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: I realized that it's not just about me saying maybe 188 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: what I'm feeling or things that in my life that 189 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: have affected me. Like, there's people going through things, and 190 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: there's people that maybe don't talk either. Maybe here's something 191 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: and it helps them. So, you know, I realized that 192 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: while I was keeping a lot of things close to 193 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: the best, whether part consciously in part subconsciously, I think 194 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: I realized that it was wasn't It's not necessarily the 195 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: best thing for me or you know, maybe for other people. Yeah, wow, 196 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: that's awesome, bro, Gavin, you want to write a song 197 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: about that? Your turn? You're out a way to rhyme 198 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: all that. Uh what have I learned? I don't know, man, 199 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've learned anything other than I 200 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: need to have more canned food here. Thank god, that's 201 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: what I learned earned. Uh, you know, the COVID thing 202 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: taught me a whole lot about just because I don't 203 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: cook at the house doesn't mean I shouldn't have some 204 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: stuff here in case I had to. Uh. So there's 205 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: always that. The other one is, you know, a g 206 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: whiz guys, so nice to have friends and uh nice 207 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: to be able to talk to people about just a 208 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: whole bunch of random that otherwise I'd just be, you know, 209 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: having this one conversation basically with with just very very 210 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: probably one or two other guys that I that I know. 211 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: But it's nice. Uh, it's nice to not get paid 212 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: for this time with you and uh to Uh that's 213 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: probably my favorite part. No man, I I mean I 214 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: I think I've learned. I've learned it several little things. Uh, 215 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: one of which is, uh, I'm really happy to be single. 216 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: You guys can film that for me every day and 217 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: uh and uh no, and because I think it's important 218 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: for all you all to have a single friend at 219 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: all times. And I like being that guy because I 220 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: can get off the phone one of you and be like, oh, 221 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: you know what such and such, just it about what's 222 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: going on. Oh no way, seriously, I think that get 223 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: to do that is he's in the conversation with himself 224 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: over there like I'm sorry, I forgot you guys are 225 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: on my zoom. Um yeah, give us one one thing 226 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: the podcasts like really made you aware of her? How 227 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: did like two to three sentences real quick? Because we 228 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: bring on the next question. To be honest with you, 229 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: I think probably the best thing that's happened on the 230 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: podcast is that I could have conversations with professionals and 231 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: topics on kind of touchy subjects of things without ever 232 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: having to say that I went to a shrink. Yeah, 233 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: and that's cool. Yeah, I get you. UM. For me, 234 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: it's been actually because I I was as you were saying, 235 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: I resonated with what you were saying. Dmitri on. As 236 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: a guy, I just stuffed bottled. Every emotion was very 237 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: just internalized everything. UM. Didn't outwardly express any emotion anything 238 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: like that, and so I was no good at emotional intelligence. 239 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: I had no emotional intelligence and capacity to express emotion. 240 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: And it was one of the reasons why I wanted 241 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: to do this podcast was to step into a space 242 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: where I had to learn to and and train the 243 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: muscle and practice UM expressing myself more and opening up more. 244 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: And I have felt amazingly expressed and relaxed through this 245 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: journey through sharing this stuff on the podcast, through this 246 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: space that we all five create hold a safe space 247 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: for each other to share what they are going through, 248 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: to share their hearts. Uh. And I've never in my 249 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: life felt more emotionally expressed, and it's been absolutely wonderful 250 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: for me. Easter. Next question, Okay, next question, what surprise 251 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: you most about one of the other guys? Mm hmm anybody? 252 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I'll start, uh So, I'll give you two 253 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: quick things, the first of which would be I'll touch 254 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: on Brooks. Uh So, all the guys that played hockey, 255 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: and you know that I played soccer in college. All 256 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: the hockey players a bunch of Canadian guys. Uh. I 257 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: thought I had hockey guys figured out because they were 258 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: just complete bros. Brooks. I thought he was gonna be 259 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: just a stereotypical hockey guy, uh which means not very deep, 260 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: just a bro. But he's a very deep human being. 261 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: And at first I question if that was authentic admittedly, 262 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: or kind of saying what he thought he had to say. 263 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: But having gotten to know him of the course of 264 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: a year, we have a great rapport. We we bust 265 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: each other's balls. Some people think it's offensive, and I'm 266 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: mean too, Brooks. Uh Brooks has a thick skin and 267 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: it's part of our stick. But I would say that 268 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: he's he's a very genuine, real human being with deep 269 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: values and I respect that about him that I question 270 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: at the beginning. I believe he's completely authentic and I've 271 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: learned that over the course of the last year. And 272 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: the second thing I will say is that I learned 273 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: that Gavin we had an amazing time together, uh, probably 274 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: ten months ago at this point in London. We had 275 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: beers over lunch. He was a true gentleman. He walked 276 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: me about ten miles through the park back to my hotel. 277 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: Was very very gentlemanlike of him. Uh, and then we 278 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: said goodbye. But we had an amazing conversation over beers 279 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: and like really bonded and I value the friendship I 280 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: have with both of you, and slightly with Dmitri and Rick. 281 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: That was awesome, brother, Thank you so much. That was 282 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,719 Speaker 1: a great day right in London. That was Um, d 283 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: meet your ear turner. What's something that surprised you about 284 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: that you've learned out about one of the guys. Well, 285 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's kind of weird to follow that because mine, 286 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: actually I think has to be Gavin as well. Um, 287 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: I think you just have a brooks. You and I 288 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: had met once, we had lunch and stuff before things 289 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: got started, so I kind of had an idea. Um. 290 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I met Gavin ten minutes before the 291 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: first episode. I think we all did. And it was 292 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: like I didn't know what to think. You know, you 293 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: think rock stars they got a certain thing, they're a 294 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: certain way that Honestly, if I didn't know that he was, 295 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, did what he did. He had his fan 296 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: base and and and stuff like that, I wouldn't I 297 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't have guessed. He's such a normal guy. And it's 298 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: funny Ryan mentioned London, but mine was up in Tahoe. 299 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: Man like Gavin came up. He brought in his zong 300 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: but eat and uh, we just got to talk in 301 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: and we're like, all right, we're bored.

Um, I think my takeaway from this podcast 325 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: so far is with you guys, is you know, going 326 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: into it, I didn't know any of you right, so um, 327 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: you know, and we're all sort of within the same 328 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: age group time frame, give or take five to eight years. 329 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: But getting to know you every time i'd fly down there, 330 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: getting to know you every time we talked or we 331 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 1: did a zoom call, um, whether we were down at 332 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: the steakhouse having a quick beer after recording, and I 333 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: had to go to the airport or whatever I think 334 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong. But the whole point 335 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: of this podcast is for men to open up and 336 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: to share their experiences and their feelings and how they interact. Um. 337 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: And to me, that was, you know, coming in and 338 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: actually getting to know each one of you guys, and 339 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: to be able to now pick up the phone or 340 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: get a text from Dmitri and Ryan or Brooks or whoever. 341 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's like, hey, are you guys, You're okay? 342 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: How's life like? Not even having to do with the podcast.

Or you know, it's like to 346 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: have that ability with the five five of you, with 347 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: five of us, four of you. UM, that's my takeaway, 348 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: and it's it's really nice to have. It's you know, 349 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: so I hope it's reciprocal obviously. UM, but that that 350 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: I extremely appreciate. Amazing buddy, Thanks for yeah. Next question, 351 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 1: please come on, man, I'm kidding, no, all these guys 352 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: now the Uh, Honestly, I think I think it everything 353 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: that everyone said so far, I can I can literally say, 354 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: did on on all of it. I think everybody is 355 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: uh has been able to open up to each other, 356 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: not just on here, but um but off the mic, 357 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, on the phone or just 358 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: you know, normal shooting type type talk. You know that 359 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: that uh you know, regular friends would have, which is 360 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: a nice thing to be able to have. I think, 361 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: you know, once you once you give people the benefit 362 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: of the doubt to give them a minute to to 363 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: show themselves to you, and they reveal themselves to you, 364 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: you get to pick up who who who they are. 365 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: And every one of these guys as has a lot 366 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: to offer and and I think that the beauty of 367 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: each of them and all you guys is that you 368 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: you don't you don't go around telling everybody, uh you know, 369 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: how well you do and how good you are at 370 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: what you do, um and and you don't have to 371 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: you know. In fact, I think you know, in some 372 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: cultures it's it's insulting to even talk about your your 373 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: career much you or even ask anybody, hey, what do 374 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,920 Speaker 1: you do? You know what I mean? And so it's 375 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: with us, I think the way we gell in general, 376 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily a base on what we do, what 377 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: our profession is it's we get along in a in 378 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: a character sinse and and every one of you guys 379 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: have had some special time with uh learning learning you 380 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: not necessarily learning your jobs or or or uh you know, 381 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: your your profession or how you make an income, but 382 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: learning learning your personality types. And you know, I see 383 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: a handful of winners all being able to hang out 384 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: with each other and not be competitive with each other. 385 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: And I think it's a beautiful thing.

Or sometimes you're 398 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: exhausted or this or that, but at the end of 399 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: the day, you always choose them, and you always speak 400 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: about your kids with love, and um, it's an area, 401 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: none none area, it's a it's a phase of life 402 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: where I hope to get to one day to be 403 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: a father.

Yeah, 410 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: I I knew your music before, but I'm super blown 411 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: away by, as Dmitri said, your depth. Um, you see 412 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: the world in a really unique and intricate way, and 413 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: you have an amazing perspective, and you have really deep, 414 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: profound thoughts that sometimes leave the rest of us just 415 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: in like awe, You'll say stuff that's just beautiful in 416 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: the whole room kind of just like pauses for a sect, 417 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: just to let that thought, that sentiment sink in. And 418 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: so UM, I can see where the the heart and 419 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: the intent comes from in your songs and where the 420 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: creativity and the artist, um, it's expressed through song. And 421 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: I think us four are so privileged to just have 422 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: the conversation with you, um, to see the artistry behind 423 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: what other people here through their record player, through the radio. 424 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: You know.

And I think you all 428 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: do the same. And it's that's how we we all, 429 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: we all you know, talk our own different versions of 430 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: of our language and express ourselves and our our best capacity, 431 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: uh and trying to explain ourselves to each other. And 432 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: and uh, it's a beautiful compliment, man, Really, honestly, I 433 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: don't even know what to say.

I love how you break with a 436 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: real subtle humor also, you know, and you know, one 437 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: of the other things I like about this group is that, 438 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's got a sense of humor. Everybody likes 439 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: to google off, everybody likes to go around, everybody likes 440 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: to talk to each other. But I also think that 441 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: part of part of what makes it special is we 442 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: all also make it a point to get deep and um, 443 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's not just a lot locker room of 444 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: hazing happening here and uh, and it's it's nice to 445 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: be to be in that that setting and at least 446 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: have that understanding with each other that we can't get 447 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: deep with each other, you know. I mean, obviously we 448 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: all have our own versions of a filter and things 449 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: like that. We all have other lives and stuff, so um, 450 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: you know, but we we certainly, I think we we 451 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: expose what we what we allow ourselves to expose.

So I don't 489 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: think any of us really knew each other. And I 490 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: think the point of the podcast was, you know, how 491 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: it got how men think. So we're gonna sit down, 492 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk, and that's truly what we did that day. 493 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: And I thought the conversation was so interesting and I thought, 494 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: you know, we all, for as different as we are, 495 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: we all had a little bit of a similarity enough 496 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: that we could talk and we could get along. And 497 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: so there was a lot of questions arks leading up 498 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: to that first episode. Um about when it was done, 499 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: I felt like we had a pretty good friendship right there. 500 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: Um And so for me that I think that was 501 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: the best episode because of that. That was that was 502 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: so fun. We all had no idea how that was 503 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: gonna go. And when we got done, we all looked 504 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: at each other were like, day, that was pretty good. Yeah, 505 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: you know, I remember that, Yeah, Rick, your favorite episode 506 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 1: from the year. You know, I think, uh, well, this 507 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: one's not over, so I can't say this one right well, 508 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if it's going that well for you, I 509 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: mean I think it's pretty good. I left. No, I 510 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: don't know if it was. If I could actually say 511 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: it's it was definitely a fun episode. Unfortunately, Brooke you 512 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: weren't there and Ryan wasn't there. But I think it 513 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: was a combination of the episode and then obviously the 514 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: weekend that was going on, um, And I'd have to 515 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: say it was the one we did in like Tahoe, 516 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: um where we were swimming across the race the lake 517 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: excuse me, and Davin was there and Dmitri was there 518 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: and we were getting questions ping from a lot of 519 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: the Batchelrette girls. That was so that was so terrible, 520 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: wasn't it having all those It was horrible, And I 521 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: want is my favorite episode except you did the whole 522 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: thing in a speedo. So I did the whole thing 523 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,719 Speaker 1: in my speedo, which is not why I brought that 524 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: one up. But it wasn't this again, may not. I 525 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: mean the episode was awesome. I loved it, but to me, 526 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: it was also the camaraderie that was built during that weekend, um, 527 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: as Dmitri mentioned earlier, and it was just kind of 528 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: like some of my buddies were there, and it was 529 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: just it was a really fun thing and it just, 530 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: uh it really I kind of drove away from that 531 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: home going, Man, this is really something special. Yeah, yeah, 532 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: what about you? Do you have any episode that sticks 533 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: out it's your favorite? Those were all yeah, man, those 534 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: were all awesome. Um Man, you know what I thought 535 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: The one we had with uh Freddie Prince Jr. Was amazing. 536 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: I thought that guy told great stories. He had a 537 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: lot of insight, you know, he just he brought something 538 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: that that uh I hadn't seen yet on the on 539 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,959 Speaker 1: these you know what we we've been doing, and he 540 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: had he had such a level of comfort on the 541 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: mic and with himself, UM, great sense of humor, really 542 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: well read, a lot of just so many interests, you know. Um, 543 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: it's great when people have just these you know, some 544 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: some people have just an extraordinary amount of interest and 545 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: they delve very, very very far into them. UM. And 546 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: I found that got to be just so much more 547 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: fascinating than I had anticipated. Um. And that episode really, uh, 548 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: that really got me because he went the guy he 549 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: was just he was so entertaining to me. You know, 550 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 1: it was I was just sitting there just kind of 551 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: listening to him, you know, tell his story is, and uh, 552 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: you know, it just felt like he just had the 553 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: whole thing just so so well handled. I was kind 554 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: of blown away beyond to be honest with you, comfortable. 555 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: Let me just say that I'm glad that Freddie Prince Jr. 556 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: Can be to you what we all just said you 557 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: were to us. I'm trying to think that some of 558 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: mine because I've done some episodes, yeah, with some gas 559 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: like Dave Hollis. The episode with Dave Hollis was wonderful 560 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: because I feel like he's like I related so personally 561 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: to it. I feel like he's a couple of years 562 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: ahead of me and life journey. He's a couple of 563 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: years older and Nick I see myself going through the 564 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: same stuff that Dave was talking about. So that was 565 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 1: really cool for me. The episode I just did last 566 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: week with Scott Evans, a discussion about racism that's really 567 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: current to what's going on in the world today. Um, 568 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: that was so like powerful and like having a having 569 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: a space to have these meaningful conversations. I'm so grateful 570 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: for that. Um, But I'm also just thinking about how 571 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 1: many times, how many times we laughed over the past year, 572 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: how many times I drove home after recording two episodes 573 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: at the studio and just laughing and just like just 574 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: have just had the best time and didn't even think 575 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: that we haven't even got paid for this. You know, 576 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: you're aful for the opportunity to get together and laugh 577 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: with you guys. And in Pebble Beach we had a 578 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: bunch of laughs. Um. Just I don't know just the 579 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: amount of laughter. I don't know if I could pick 580 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: a single favorite episode, but the amount of laughter that 581 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: being around you guys has brought into my life for sure. 582 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: Brooks Brooks, Brooks, were you laughing when you drive home? 583 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: Because you were in l A and you drive a 584 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: lecture car and you're like gas prices? It was less 585 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: about when we brought to the table more I'll save 586 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: the money. We got it, uh, Eastern next question, brother, 587 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: we got two more right? This is actually the last one. Okay, yeah, 588 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: so so make it a good one. Uh. What's the 589 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: goal you have for year two? Mm hmm, I'm gonna 590 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: get back down to a thirty three. You got Rick, 591 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: get that SWEETO or that SWEETO. Know the SWEETO sweet 592 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: sweet sweet It just got a new name. Oh my god. Um, 593 00:34:53,400 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: your turn. What was the question, Eastern? What's the goal 594 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: for the season two? We're in season two here? One 595 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: of my goals? I mean sure, this is like the 596 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 1: rsc l N E on wheel Fort everybody's everyone gets 597 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: the answer of I want to get paid. Let's move. 598 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: So the next answer, uh No. To be honest, I 599 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: feel like we've opened up on certain subjects, certain topics 600 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: for this podcast, but I think, in all honesty, I 601 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: think I could probably do a better job. Um. I 602 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: want to be able to share more. And obviously being 603 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: new to this whole podcasting, um, to me, it was 604 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: sort of getting in the field for it all and 605 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: getting that. And now that I feel like I have 606 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: that or a little bit of it, um, I can 607 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: sort of open up about things that I may not 608 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: have wanted to share early earlier. Um. So that's something 609 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna work on, which I think is going to 610 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: make all of this podcast going forward, all of our 611 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: recordings more intriguing. Awesome, Rick, good for you buddy here. UM, 612 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: I think I wanna. I want to do more. And 613 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: so I feel like we got the whole. Like we 614 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,800 Speaker 1: get along and we laugh, we bust each other's balls 615 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: and that's cool. And it's been a real fun year 616 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: of that, and we have had some real serious conversations 617 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But what I'd like to do is, um, 618 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: I think it would be fun. It's not dissimilar to 619 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: what rich you said. I think I'd like to take 620 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,360 Speaker 1: it to the next level. And what I'd like to 621 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 1: do is is explore conversations that we have or thoughts 622 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: that we have with each other, as opposed to just 623 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: stuff that's already set in stone, you know what I mean, Like, oh, yeah, 624 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: you're a dad. But so, as you were saying your 625 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: your episode last week on racism, I think, you know, 626 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 1: I think we all bring good perspectives to the table, 627 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,760 Speaker 1: and I'd like to have more conversations about life and 628 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 1: and and be able to help people out that way 629 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: as opposed to just you know, I had busting each 630 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,399 Speaker 1: other's balls and be like, all right, you're a dad, 631 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: you're a swimmer, you know, and we easy each other. 632 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: But I think we I think we have a lot 633 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: of depth and I think we bring a lot of 634 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: stuff in the table, and so I'd like to advance 635 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: kind of what we do and what we can do 636 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: for for others and for ourselves.

I want to take it further. I 675 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: want to be one myself personally. I want to be 676 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: a better host. I want to be more prepared. I 677 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: want to have better questions to driveversation, deeper conversation in 678 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 1: the midst of a podcast. So I want to have 679 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: more preppart. I put that on myself to prepare more, 680 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 1: to prepare this space for us to have a deeper 681 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: conversation UM. And then I really love that we have 682 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: since started, we really started as we've got more comfortable 683 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: with this platform to dive into more hot button topics. 684 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 1: Not we're not scared to go anywhere, you know, like 685 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: the conversation I had last week with Scott Evans about racism. 686 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: That is, that is a real powerful topic to have 687 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: a conversation about, to have a real and honest conversation about. 688 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: And I like that this podcast UM is lessening its fear. 689 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: We always said that from the start we want to 690 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: be real, raw and authentic, and we we had to 691 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 1: learn how to be a podcast crew. But I want 692 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: us to push further and I want us to to 693 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: penetrate into puncture areas that are uncomfortable for men to 694 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: have conversations. Dmitri's laughing at me. Maybe those words weren't 695 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: the best line up To be honest with you, Brooks, 696 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: there's too much going on not to address and have 697 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: these conversations agree, you know, and I think that's what 698 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: we would we should be tackling. Yeah. Um, and then 699 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 1: we don't need to turn into a political show and 700 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: all that stuff, but like strategically plan out what we 701 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: want to focus on when we want to focus on it, 702 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: and build off of that. Yeah, I think I'd be excellent. Yeah. 703 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: I love having a mixture. My goal with each show 704 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: is to have a mixture of value in depth conversation 705 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: and also entertainment so that the listen. Because sometimes if 706 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: you just have a heavy discussion and there's no comedy 707 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: or entertainment, it's it's heavy as a listener. I know 708 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: that from listening to other podcasts. So I love that 709 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: we mix entertainment in there as well to keep it lighthearted. Um, 710 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: while the weather really powerful, discussiout the weather we have 711 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: and dreams.
