Bear 11 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: from Need to Breeze is on all this is happening. 12 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: Thank you guys for checking out the Sunday Sampler. 13 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: So the new. 14 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: Record is coming out in September. Caves, I don't know, 15 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: give me what why Caves? Is there some sort of 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: deeper meaning about Caves? 17 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's more and more I 18 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 3: understand this, like because it's so cyclical, like when you're 19 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 3: working on a record, to me, the artist job at least, 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: you know, as I see it, is that that you 21 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: go into this some sort of subconscious place when you're 22 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: trying to like you know, I'll use the word universe 23 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 3: from it of like you're just trying to like receive 24 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 3: and process this information and you try to stay there 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: longer than most people would want to. I don't buy 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 3: into the idea like you got to have a crappy 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: life to have to write good songs. I don't buy 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: into that at all. But I do buy into the 29 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: fact like when those things happen, you need to marinate longer. 30 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: And so that's what the Cave represents to me of 31 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: kind of like it's really the song is you know, 32 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: the line is coming out of the cave. That's what's 33 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: really about. Of like, Okay, we've spent this time together, 34 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: we process all this stuff, we put it on paper. 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: We don't know what it is. Here you go, and 36 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: now we're gonna all celebrate this together. So I think 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 3: that's where it came from. And then yeah, the record 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: is really interesting. Like we've always had a chip on 39 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: our shoulder, I think because of being from a small town, 40 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: all the Christian thing all that. I feel like early 41 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: on our careers, like everywhere we went, you know, we 42 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 3: just had this angst about like We're about to dominate this, 43 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 3: you know, just look and I feel like this is 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: the first record, in my opinion, where we were able 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 3: to get out of our own way in that way. 46 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: Because what I look back and I go, wow, that's 47 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: I can see that sort of like ego thing dripping 48 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: into this song has no place there. It's it's not 49 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: it's not serving the song at all. And and so 50 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: I think when I hear it back, now that's what 51 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: That's the takeaway I have from the record, which of 52 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 3: just like there's a little bit of a freedom there. 53 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: It's thankful, which is different for a rock band to say, 54 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 3: probably just in the sense of like we get to 55 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: do this, like we get to put the stuff out 56 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: into the world and people appreciate it at whatever level 57 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: that is. I think that's probably surprising to me. After 58 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: all we've been through that, like we still have the 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: opportunity and the sort of creative freedom. 60 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: To do it. Are you surprised you guys are still together? 61 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah? 62 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, Now I can see it going a lot longer, 63 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: which is crazy. But there was I mean ten years 64 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 3: in our career we had just an absolute meltdown of 65 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: all kinds for probably two to three years of just 66 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: like personal relationships are going to crap everything in the band. 67 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: It's like my brother was in the band at that 68 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: time and it was really rough and both of us 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: were not good humans anyway, you know. At the time, 70 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: we're just like really struggling with all kinds stuff. And 71 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: then so it was separate dressing rooms. It was there's 72 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: no encouraging word before the for the show. It's not 73 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: it's it is just get through it, whatever it takes. 74 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: At the same time, you have this crazy ambition driving 75 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: everything that's not feeding the yard at all. Just it's 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: absolutely like if we go harder, if we go harder, 77 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: you know. So yeah, I think I think it was 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: a time there for a while, Like I was sure 79 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: it was over, and she was like, well, we'll just 80 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: play this next tour and see how far it gets. 81 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: So I'm yeah, I'm surprised. 82 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: I was talking to Kicks Brooks, who's half of Brooks 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: and Done. He was talking about playing a show and 84 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: him and Ronnie weren't getting along and they had just 85 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: been I mean, they're killing they had twenty number one 86 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: to be doing it fifteen years or so. They just 87 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: were not like any relationship, Like I mentioned earlier. It's 88 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: not just a band, it's my friends to do a 89 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: radio show, it's husband white relationships. 90 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 2: Anything has to be. 91 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: Nurtured, and you have to go through the bad times 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: to make the good times even better. And it's a 93 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: lot of survival. And he was like, we just want 94 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: to do it anymore. Martle Hacker was like, hey, don't 95 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: be an idiot, like you see all those people here. Yeah, 96 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: he was like, you got to figure that crap out. 97 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: And so they broke up. Yeah, but he always remembered 98 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: that and they ended up getting back together, and I 99 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: was like, man, we don't even feel like we really 100 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: missed a beat. But he was like, if I could 101 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: tell people now, like it's like figure it out, go 102 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: away if you need to, Yeah, get therapy for you, 103 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: get therapy for other people, and then but stay together. 104 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: Because of what they had with each other and what 105 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: you guys have, it's so rare, regardless of the relationship 106 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: and how it is perfect, to you actually find a 107 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: unit that can do what you've done is so rare. 108 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 3: I think it's easier now knowing, like being able to 109 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 3: value that or like seeing what we have. There was 110 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: a time there where it felt like you know, even 111 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: though the thing was big, there was like some other 112 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: future thing that we were trying to be that we 113 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: weren't yet. So there was always this like frustration that 114 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: I didn't I don't think I could feel back then 115 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: that I feel now. So it I mean, it's part 116 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 3: of its aging obviously, or just like kind of getting 117 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: some perspective. 118 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 4: Hey, it's Amy Brown from Four Things with Amy Brown, 119 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast. 120 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 4: I am definitely someone who, well, because my mom had 121 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 4: cancer and my dad had cancer, I sometimes have thoughts, well, 122 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 4: I'm going to get cancer. But then I don't want 123 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 4: to have those thoughts because I feel like if I 124 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 4: have those thoughts, then I'm inviting the cancer. And I 125 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 4: know that it's not necessarily linked to that for sure, 126 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 4: but I do think our thoughts have a lot to 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 4: do with how our body responds to stress. And if 128 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: I'm constantly stressed that I'm going to get cancer, well 129 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: you see where I'm going with that. But breast cancer 130 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 4: does not run in my family, so I've never had 131 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 4: much concern for that. And I got a mammogram last week. 132 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 4: I thought everything was fine, and then I got a 133 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 4: letter in the mail saying that I had some dense tissue. 134 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 4: So I booked an appointment to go in a week later, 135 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 4: which was today, and I kind of was like, oh, 136 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 4: dense tissue. 137 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 2: I googled it. 138 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 4: It's very common, nothing really to worry about. They just 139 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: want to be extra cautious. So I'm on the phone. 140 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 4: When I'm there, I've got my I'm just like like, let's. 141 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: Go get this done. 142 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 5: Chop chop. 143 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: And the woman looked at me and she said, do 144 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 4: you do you know why you're here and I said, yeah, 145 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: dence tissue and she said, yeah, no, we found a 146 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: spot in your left breast that wasn't there a year ago. 147 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: And instantly my whole demeanor change, like I honestly feel 148 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 4: it in my body right now, even though I'm letting 149 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 4: you know right now before I get into the story, 150 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 4: I am Okay. I don't think I would be here 151 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 4: like la la la telling you the story if I 152 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: had gotten different results today, for sure. But I literally 153 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 4: just felt into my body like how I felt the 154 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 4: minute she looked at me with a very serious face 155 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 4: like oh no, no, you're here for a very specific reason. 156 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 4: And then she pulled up my scans from last week 157 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: and showed me this spot on my left breast that 158 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 4: wasn't there a year ago. And she's said, the radiologist 159 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: wants to get new scans and then if he's satisfied, 160 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 4: you can go. If he's not, then we're gonna need 161 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 4: to get an ultrasound. But you will have results before 162 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 4: you leave here today. You're not gonna leave here without 163 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 4: knowing if you need more tests done or if you're 164 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: in the clear. Meanwhile, I am like trying to hold 165 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 4: back the tears because again my mind just starts racing. Well, 166 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 4: I knew this was going to happen. My mom had 167 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: it although she had anal cancer. My dad had it, 168 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: although he had like throat cancer maybe tongue as well. 169 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: Neither one of them had breast cancer. But still now 170 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 4: it's in my head. Meanwhile, I'm like, don't cry, don't cry, 171 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 4: don't cry, and she's like, could you go ahead, and 172 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 4: just like yeah, turn that way and I'm gonna smush 173 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 4: this down. She's like is that too tight, and like 174 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: it's not too tight. Honestly, lady, I can't feel anything 175 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: you're doing to me because my body is here, but 176 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 4: my mind is not here. My mind is in the 177 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 4: future living with cancer and how I'm gonna deal with it, 178 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 4: but also how I'm gonna beat it, and how it's 179 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 4: going to be awesome because I'm not going to let 180 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 4: this defeat me, and I will find out what is possible. 181 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 4: From that, I start asking myself all these deep questions, 182 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 4: because you know clearly I have cancer. Now she does 183 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: the skanch said go sit outside, we'll come talk to 184 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 4: you in ten minutes, and I'm like, okay, trying to 185 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: hold back the tears they come out. He's not satisfied. 186 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 4: We need you to go do an ultrasound, and I'm like, yep, 187 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 4: m hm, I knew it. I got cancer. The whole 188 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 4: time she's doing the ultrasound, the story is building. I've 189 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 4: already had my breasts removed in my head, and then 190 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 4: I'm like, am I gonna get implants? Or am I not? 191 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 4: Have I lost my hair? It's crazy what our minds 192 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 4: will do. I sit there for ten minutes after that, 193 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 4: and she comes in and says, okay, you're all clear. 194 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 4: Just make sure you do your self exams throughout the 195 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 4: year and come back next year for your yearly appointment. 196 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 4: And then I was just sent on my way and 197 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 4: It was just this emotional roller coaster of I got 198 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 4: there kind of easy breezy with my coffee, ain't no 199 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 4: thing dense tissue, and then boom, went into almost two 200 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 4: hours of stress and literally my body feeling as though 201 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: I now have this disease. And then well, lah, I 202 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 4: just walked out of there, easy breezy again and got 203 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 4: in my car and drove away. And it just got 204 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 4: me thinking of things sometimes we avoid because we're nervous, 205 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 4: because honestly, that experience was so taxing on me that 206 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 4: I'm like, well, I don't want to go back next 207 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 4: year for my scan. I mean, obviously, I know I 208 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 4: want to go because I want to be as proactive 209 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 4: as possible, and I don't want to take advantage of 210 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 4: the fact that I even have access to care like this, 211 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: and there's some people in the world that don't, so 212 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 4: I need to go. But I also don't want to 213 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 4: feel all those emotions again and go through that. And 214 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 4: then it got me curious about genetic testing because I've 215 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 4: never had that done, and I was reading this whole 216 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 4: article about the genetic tests that are available for certain 217 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 4: types of cancers, and there are some potential pitfalls with 218 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: genetic tests tests. 219 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: I did read that. 220 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 4: Because if the test reveals no known genetic cancer links, 221 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 4: then that puts you back to square one in terms 222 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 4: of figuring out why a cancer is common in your family. 223 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 4: And if the test does confirm that the presence of 224 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 4: an abnormal gene is there, that doesn't automatically mean that 225 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 4: something bad is going to happen. And in some cases, 226 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 4: the gene creates only a slightly higher risk, like slightly 227 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 4: higher I saw the American Cancer Society said that most 228 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 4: cancers are not passed down through families. The number of 229 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 4: inherited cancer cases is only five to ten percent. Now 230 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 4: the story is different if your parents had breast cancer 231 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 4: or any other hereditary cancer, So definitely do your own research. 232 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 4: I just wanted to share with you my very personal 233 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 4: experience and how I am not going to put off 234 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 4: my test next year, even though it was highly stressful, 235 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 4: and I'm not going to put off my obgian appointments. 236 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 4: And if you have anything that you've been avoiding, book 237 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 4: the appointment. Maybe you also have a hard conversation you 238 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 4: have been avoiding and that is building up stress in 239 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: your body, or you're not happy with certain things in 240 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 4: your life and you know that there needs to be 241 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 4: a change, but you keep putting it off. Body keeps 242 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 4: the score. Stress leads to inflammation, and inflammation leads to disease, 243 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 4: and that doesn't necessarily mean cancer, but certain ailments are 244 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 4: going to show up if we're not taking care of 245 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 4: ourselves and doing the hard things, which again could either 246 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: be going to that appointment, or having a tough conversation 247 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 4: or making a major life change or whatever it is 248 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: that you need to do to take care of you. 249 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: That was really what I was inspired to get on 250 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: here and share with you. But I don't think what 251 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 4: my parents had is a hereditary thing, and the likelihood 252 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: of me getting it is very low. So I want 253 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: to live as though I'm not going to get it, 254 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 4: and I don't want to live in fear. But I 255 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 4: do want to be prepared and I do want to 256 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 4: be proactive. So hopefully at least one of you needed 257 00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 4: to hear this encouragement. 258 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 6: Let's do it live We oh the one two sore losers? 259 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: What up, everybody?

Like they 309 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 2: can be sitting there and just miserable and then someone 310 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: points and goes, you're on the screen. You're on the screen, 311 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: and they jump up like they are the happiest person 312 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: in the world. It is so fun to watch. It's hilarious. 313 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 6: I agree with you, But they are kind of going 314 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 6: down a little bit now that people can film themselves 315 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 6: and go on Instagram and become their own famous. Back 316 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 6: in the day, you never saw what you looked like. 317 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: Now, you want to know the second thing that makes 318 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 2: everybody happy? A baseball. A baseball, a simple little baseball, 319 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: whether it be a foul ball, a home run, or 320 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 2: a player running off the field, throw it in the stands. 321 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: When they throw it in the stands, everybody around that 322 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: ball jumps up and is sticking their hand in the 323 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: air trying to grab the baseball. And when they get it, 324 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: what do they do stick it in their pants. No, 325 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: they grab it and they show everybody around them. I 326 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: got a baseball. I got a baseball. I got a baseball. 327 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 2: And we all do it. We all do it. It's 328 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 2: it's it's uncontrollable reflex when someone is running off the 329 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: field with a ball that you start going right here, 330 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 2: right here, w a ball, A ball, a ball. 331 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 6: And my theory on that is it's you your excitement 332 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 6: as a kid. Most of us haven't thrown a baseball 333 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 6: since we were a kid, and our careers came to 334 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 6: a conclusion at eighteen in college, and so there's that. 335 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 6: But it's also he chose me out of everyone around 336 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 6: me to throw me the ball, masculinity. I'm also able 337 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 6: to catch this ball and show that I'm greater of 338 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 6: an athlete than everyone around me.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 552 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 5: from nineteen ninety is a top ten film for me, 553 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 5: so I want to look at all of the aspects 554 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 5: surrounding the nineteen ninety film how this movie was based 555 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 5: on a comic book in the eighties Urn TV show. 556 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 5: But before I get into all that, I want to 557 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 5: share with you how I was first introduced to the 558 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 5: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and it all stems from my 559 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 5: older brother, who was born in the eighties and who 560 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 5: was such a big fan of that original cartoon and 561 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 5: is really the reason that I love the Turtles as 562 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 5: much as I do, because I was born in nineteen 563 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 5: ninety one. This first movie came out before I was born, 564 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 5: but I just remember seeing it so much because he 565 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 5: was such a big fan of it, and through me 566 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 5: wanting to be just like my older brother and into 567 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 5: all the things that he was. Ninja Turtles was one 568 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 5: of those first few fandoms that I was completely a 569 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 5: part of, even though it was just maybe a little 570 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 5: bit before my time, with the cartoon coming out in 571 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 5: the eighties and these movies being out when I was 572 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 5: a baby, but all through my childhood I remember watching 573 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 5: these VHS tapes with him and bonding so much that 574 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 5: over the years it has been a form of how 575 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 5: we stay connected as brothers, with the two thousand and 576 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 5: seven animated movie being one of the movies I remember 577 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 5: going to see in theaters with him and being really 578 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 5: excited about it, and even with the live action movies 579 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 5: coming out in the twenty tens, it has been a 580 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 5: way that we've always bonded and connected with each other. 581 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 5: So I think for a lot of kids, there is 582 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 5: a deep personal connection with this franchise unlike anything else 583 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 5: really out there, and even more so than Marvel movies. 584 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 5: And superhero movies. There is just something that instantly connects 585 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 5: us with our childhood when it comes to the Teenage 586 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 5: Mutant Ninja Turtles. And that's why I love now that 587 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 5: there is another reincarnation in the twenty twenties that is 588 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 5: going to be that for some kid, because I feel 589 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 5: there are only certain movies, maybe ten total, that I 590 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 5: love every single aspect of the film, and I don't 591 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 5: even look at it as a movie. When I sit 592 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 5: down and watch them, it just feels like I am 593 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 5: watching a part of myself, a part of my life 594 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 5: that I don't focus on the directing style. I don't 595 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 5: focus on the cinematography. I just think of them really 596 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 5: as life experiences. Everything from the New Line Cinema logo 597 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 5: in this movie I just have embedded into my head. 598 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 5: I hear this sound, I see this logo, and I 599 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 5: immediately associated with this first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, 600 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 5: and there are very few movies that do that. And 601 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 5: then after that logo, well you get that opening scene, 602 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 5: but what really sets it off is that theme song, 603 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 5: Let's Go. 604 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 6: Yep and there you just have me. 605 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 5: You just grip me with that song, and it doesn't 606 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 5: let go through the rest of the movie. So what 607 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 5: this first movie served as was the introduction to the 608 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 5: teenage mutant Ninja Turtles. And in this movie you find 609 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 5: our four friends who are living underground in the shadows 610 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 5: of the sewer and are protecting New York City from 611 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 5: a gang of criminal ninjas. 612 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: Ah. 613 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 5: I love that storyline, but that's really what this story is. 614 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 5: They are just trying to make the world above them 615 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 5: a better place by taking out all these bad guys. 616 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 5: But they can't be seen because they have a dad 617 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 5: named Splinter, who is a rat who rescued them as 618 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 5: kids after stumbling upon to this ooze, and they turned 619 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 5: into these creatures who love pizza and love kickin. But 620 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 5: I think as a kid growing up, I really saw 621 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 5: myself and Michelangelo, and that is actually why my family 622 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 5: gave me the nickname. Growing up as Mikey. Everybody knew 623 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 5: me as Mikey, and it was because of my love 624 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 5: of the Ninja Turtles and my love of the character. 625 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 5: He had so many iconic lines in this movie, like 626 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 5: this one. 627 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 6: Pizza Dudes got thirty seconds. 628 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 5: He had the charm, like in this line. 629 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 6: She called me Mikey. 630 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 5: But looking back at this movie, as an adult, I 631 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 5: really just think I am more of a raphae Yel 632 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 5: who he is the moody teenager in this movie, and 633 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 5: I think that is what lots of kids watch this, 634 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 5: They were able to identify with a different character. And 635 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 5: who are you most like? Are you more like Leonardo Michelangelo, 636 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 5: donatelo or A Rafayel? Now as an adult, I think 637 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 5: I am much more of a Rafayelle, who I actually 638 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 5: think is a lot more sophisticated than a teenager in 639 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 5: this movie. He just has this rage for no reason. 640 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 5: It showcased in his first battle with Casey Jones freak, 641 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 5: I gotta wa so Frank, Frank, like that come back, 642 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 5: I'm not. 643 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 2: Finished for you. 644 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 5: That vocal performance, all of that, it just gets me 645 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 5: of like, like I just feel that now more as 646 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 5: an adult, of when I feel like an outsider, when 647 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 5: I feel like people don't get me, I feel very 648 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 5: much like Rafayel. And sorry if I got a little 649 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 5: bit excited and talked over that clip. I just really 650 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 5: felt that Rafayel performance there. And there's just so much 651 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 5: emotion showcase in this movie, and it's greatly reflected through Rafayel, 652 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 5: who is going through this mental journey of just finding 653 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 5: his and trying to get Splinter back after he was 654 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 5: taken by the Foot Clan, and having the thing you 655 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 5: love the most and care about being taken away from you. 656 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 5: So you hear it first in his encounters with Casey Jones, 657 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 5: but then later once he finds out that Splinter has 658 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 5: been taken. So when I look back on this movie, 659 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 5: it is surprising to me how big of a hit 660 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 5: it became because it was so different than the cartoons. 661 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 5: You hear it here, You hear all the emotions, you 662 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 5: see the action in this movie, which is for a 663 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 5: kids movie, pretty violent. They actually use their weapons in 664 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 5: this movie, and I think that's why whenever the sequel 665 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 5: came out Secret of the Ooze, that they got away 666 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 5: from the use of their weapons and instead they were 667 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 5: using other things like sausages or other objects to inflict 668 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 5: pain on other people. Because kids were starting to emulate 669 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 5: the Ninja turtles and whacking their brothers and sisters with 670 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 5: a stick or even worse, trying to find a sword 671 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 5: to stab somebody with. So there was such a big 672 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,720 Speaker 5: tone shift between the first one and the second one, 673 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 5: and never again in a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles, whether 674 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 5: it be a TV show or a movie, was this 675 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 5: same energy captured. I don't think you could ever really 676 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 5: do a movie like this again, unless like a big 677 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 5: director like Christopher Nolan gave it the Dark Knight treatment, 678 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 5: which would be amazing because I think there is a 679 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 5: darker Ninja Turtles story to tell, even more so than 680 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 5: this one. I am no longer afraid to say that 681 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 5: this movie from nineteen ninety is a top ten film 682 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 5: for me. 683 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for listening.
