Speaker 1: one can do with quiet Carol Carola. Hey, y'all, welcome
Speaker 1: to Hyper Caroline Hobby. I am your host, Caroline Hobby.
Speaker 1: I know music, I know people, and I know the
Speaker 1: questions do you want to ask? So let's get Hyper
Speaker 1: heads up. These are adults having adult conversations, so there
Speaker 1: could be adult content this week on the podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: so excited because I have my first athlete, Tim Shaw.
Speaker 1: He played football at Penn State. Then he went to
Speaker 1: play for the Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, and
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. What and he recently was diagnosed with a
Speaker 1: l S and has become a spokesperson for a LS
Speaker 1: and put so much inspiration and awareness to the disease.
Speaker 1: And it's amazing to hear what he has to say
Speaker 1: about that. He also has several businesses that everyone must
Speaker 1: know about, especially if you live in Nashville. One is
Speaker 1: hot Box, which is the best way to get to
Speaker 1: work on it. So get excited. This interview is so
Speaker 1: great and I know you're gonna love it. Here's Tim Shaw. Hello, Tim,
Speaker 1: You're sitting here in your lovely house. This is Tim Shaw, everyone,
Speaker 1: and it's amazing. How long have you been living here?
Speaker 1: I've lived here from a little over a year, but
Speaker 1: I moved from like this ultimate bachelor pad to this
Speaker 1: family home. So it's been a cool adjustment. I know,
Speaker 1: you know, I think the bachelor days are. It's fun
Speaker 1: to have a bachelor pad. But even as we get older,
Speaker 1: like Michael and A thinking about like getting more like beautiful,
Speaker 1: neighborhood oriented, little safer, a little like more quiet, family oriented.
Speaker 1: It feels nice. As you grow up you do things like, yeah,
Speaker 1: adult thing is not fun, but it is necessary at times,
Speaker 1: it really at times, I guess it is necessary. Let
Speaker 1: me check our levels here. Okay, I think we've got
Speaker 1: this doubt into him. Um, so how has adultsing? Ben?
Speaker 1: How old are you? Thirty? Wonderful? Wonderful? Not for two
Speaker 1: months long or a couple of months. I'll be thirty terrific.
Speaker 1: Yeah the words right out of my Is that what
Speaker 1: you're going to say? Yeah, I'm thirty terrific right now. Ye,
Speaker 1: it's a good year good. The thirties have been like
Speaker 1: real life. I think the thirties are underrated. I think
Speaker 1: people glorify the twenties, but I think about all the
Speaker 1: mistakes we made in the twenties. Idiot just now becoming
Speaker 1: halfway logical in my head. Right, So the thirties are
Speaker 1: I think. I'm excited. One have been great, thirty two
Speaker 1: can only be better, and then you have thirty tremendous,
Speaker 1: three mendous forward to thirty three minuts is the one
Speaker 1: I'm turning July thirty. Yes, my girlfriend comes up with
Speaker 1: all these catch phrases. I'll look for your calendar that
Speaker 1: coming out with all the So what have you liked
Speaker 1: most about the thirties. I really liked transitioning from an
Speaker 1: athlete to a businessman. It's been really fun and challenging,
Speaker 1: um and almost creating a new identity for myself. To
Speaker 1: tell me about it. What was your original identity and
Speaker 1: what is your identity now? What's funny? Identity is something
Speaker 1: that I've so I go with a lot. I think
Speaker 1: when you grow up as an athlete and you have
Speaker 1: success and success to the NFL, it really defines you
Speaker 1: and and everything you do revolves around that life of
Speaker 1: being a professional athlete. So regardless of whether you want
Speaker 1: to be or not, it essentially is your identity because yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's it's something that I thought, you know, I
Speaker 1: didn't want to be, just that I didn't want to
Speaker 1: be lay what was that or pigeonholed or any of
Speaker 1: those things, But it really was such a huge part
Speaker 1: of who it was. So it's been really cool too.
Speaker 1: You know, it's been difficult to leave that life, but
Speaker 1: also really great to realize, hey, there is more to life.
Speaker 1: There are is, um it doesn't go downhill after the NFL.
Speaker 1: Life can get better and more enriching, more filling things
Speaker 1: like that. So what have you found to be more
Speaker 1: the most enriching that you have experienced post NFL. Well,
Speaker 1: when I talk about enriching, it usually involved other people.
Speaker 1: Rather than just making my life better, it means making
Speaker 1: other people's lives better. So for me, that's really involved, um,
Speaker 1: not only giving money, by giving time to certain efforts
Speaker 1: and organizations. And I'm really excited about an organization and
Speaker 1: I'm part of right now that we're starting. It's called
Speaker 1: very tesse Elite, and it's a performance company that is
Speaker 1: going to UM impact youth through sports performance. So just
Speaker 1: using UM people who are are excellent, excellent physical trainers
Speaker 1: UM to influence kids that way and and just be
Speaker 1: good role models and too, UM be mentors and teach
Speaker 1: leadership and things like that. So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 1: We're just started in two thousands and sixteen. How did
Speaker 1: you get this going? I met these two guys, these
Speaker 1: two trainers that are just infectious, and they're so good
Speaker 1: at what they do, and I was thinking, how can
Speaker 1: I come alongside and enhance what these guys do. So
Speaker 1: I'm able to bring some some business acumen and some
Speaker 1: money UM to help kids the program going UM and
Speaker 1: just watch these guys do their thing with the kids. Okay,
Speaker 1: because you also have a football camp, so you're super
Speaker 1: busy and super giving back, which I love about you.
Speaker 1: I've noticed in all of interviews I've read about you,
Speaker 1: you love spreading joy to others. I think can listen
Speaker 1: this is something that needs to change because I think
Speaker 1: you say a lot of people aren't like that. Here's
Speaker 1: what I believe. They're like that because they don't understand
Speaker 1: how it enhances their own life to go out and
Speaker 1: impact other people. So when you do something, you know,
Speaker 1: quote unquote charity work or you know, a mission trip.
Speaker 1: Those things they sound really um, really religious or or
Speaker 1: really like goody, but but they're not. They're what they
Speaker 1: are is they're impactful not only other people, but therefore
Speaker 1: they impact you. And so every time I've left a
Speaker 1: mission trip, every time I've done a service project, you think, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and do good for these people, but
Speaker 1: you walk away having enriched your own life way more
Speaker 1: than you could have impacted the people. You're like the
Speaker 1: way you feel, the things that you learned, the perspective
Speaker 1: that you gain. How do you feel when you do
Speaker 1: things like that? You you feel selfless and um, it's
Speaker 1: a term that we understand, but it's not a feeling
Speaker 1: that we experience all the time. So you have this
Speaker 1: feeling of there is so much more there's so there's
Speaker 1: so much more important out there than me. There's so
Speaker 1: much bigger of a picture than my life. There are
Speaker 1: so many people out there who need things more than
Speaker 1: I need things. So you just feel this sense of
Speaker 1: of bigger than me, in this sense of goodness in
Speaker 1: the world. And so my hope would be that you
Speaker 1: would in a year from an hour or whenever you
Speaker 1: would say, you know what a lot of people are
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, I know a lot of people who
Speaker 1: live that way. And because we're out here, we're striving
Speaker 1: for us, us to us right, And I've the same
Speaker 1: thing I was. I was trying to make it much
Speaker 1: money as I could. And and we do that, right,
Speaker 1: we chase things, but in in and is stopping pursuing
Speaker 1: the money and the fame and start pursuing things that
Speaker 1: impact others and serve others in your life will be
Speaker 1: just so much better. And it's hard to it sounds
Speaker 1: kind of weird, but it's just I want people to
Speaker 1: try it. I want I want people to hear my
Speaker 1: words and go, no, that's not true, or just try
Speaker 1: it one time for me and let me know. And
Speaker 1: I want you to experience. I want people to experience
Speaker 1: that feeling of being impactful and and seeking something that's
Speaker 1: greater than yourself. When did you stop chasing as much like,
Speaker 1: when did you stop chasing? And when did you stop
Speaker 1: chasing success and fame? When did you really commit to
Speaker 1: this mindset? It was a slow process for me. It's
Speaker 1: such a great model of Yeah, who was your model? Well?
Speaker 1: What I was what I would call a model of
Speaker 1: servant hood. And um, first of all, my parents. My
Speaker 1: parents are people who, um, you know, blue collar, followed
Speaker 1: with a teacher, and my mom stayed at home and
Speaker 1: took care of four boys. Bless yes, so we're not
Speaker 1: talking about a wealthy family. But they were always showing
Speaker 1: us how if you give what you have and serve others.
Speaker 1: They would always loan someone in a car. They would always,
Speaker 1: you know, if someone was in town and we didn't
Speaker 1: even know they needed a place to stay, they stayed
Speaker 1: at our house. I mean, just constant um acts of service.
Speaker 1: So I had that model, but it was it was
Speaker 1: really in college and in the pros where UM, people
Speaker 1: started to encourage me, Hey would you come and speak
Speaker 1: to this group of people, UM, or hey I'm going
Speaker 1: Well a lot of times it would be speaking about
Speaker 1: my faith um and and or speaking about my football experience.
Speaker 1: And any time you get a chance to speak to
Speaker 1: a group of young people, you really have to check
Speaker 1: yourself and say, what do I have that these young
Speaker 1: people can benefit from? So that's where you start talking
Speaker 1: about Let me tell them about leadership. Let me tell
Speaker 1: them about how did I get to state to play football.
Speaker 1: How did I get to the NFL? Then you start
Speaker 1: talking about hard work and things like commitment and dedication,
Speaker 1: so um, it was then I think it was speaking
Speaker 1: that really started me on the path of understanding that
Speaker 1: I could be impactful to other people and and that
Speaker 1: turned into service projects. So um halfitap for humanity. One
Speaker 1: of my favorites. Just the fact that you can go
Speaker 1: out and a group of people to build the house
Speaker 1: for someone else in like four weekends. Blend so many
Speaker 1: people just siting and getting drunk on the weekends, when
Speaker 1: really you can go change a whole life. Oh, it's
Speaker 1: amazing and people do this all the time. So if
Speaker 1: you if we open our eyes, there are so many opportunities. Um,
Speaker 1: you don't have to give your life away, you don't
Speaker 1: have to give all your money away. You just give
Speaker 1: a little bit of time once a week, go to
Speaker 1: and after school program. I mean, there's just so many opportunities.
Speaker 1: So for me, it was gradual process. And I'm not
Speaker 1: there yet. You know, I still like to make money.
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with making It's about what's your where's
Speaker 1: your heart at and and what's your purpose and all
Speaker 1: those things. So what is your purpose? Man, the greatest
Speaker 1: question ever asked. I know, are we all trying to
Speaker 1: narrow that down? Life is a journey of finding purpose.
Speaker 1: You know. For myself, I know that God put me
Speaker 1: on this earth. He gave me a lot of gifts
Speaker 1: and talent and abilities. And for a long time I
Speaker 1: thought football was my purpose. I believe it was. But
Speaker 1: when I more so understand how I've gotten, you know,
Speaker 1: pretty wonderful good is that football is just something I
Speaker 1: did to express myself and it was my it was
Speaker 1: my avenue to be impactful. So my purpose is to
Speaker 1: possibly impact people and more specifically positively impact them. Um
Speaker 1: to find their own purpose. So I do that through
Speaker 1: whatever it is that I'm doing. And it was football
Speaker 1: for a time, you know, and now it's it's businesses speaking,
Speaker 1: is um certain? So let's talk about football. How did
Speaker 1: did you grow up playing? Because are you from England?
Speaker 1: Did you re raise in England? I was not raised there,
Speaker 1: but I was born there. Just one more layer to
Speaker 1: your cool, just let you throw out there like, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, queen and good you know
Speaker 1: you're the queen. Do we have some tea here? But okay,
Speaker 1: right now, okay, I was wondering, wait till okay is
Speaker 1: a holiday? Um, so it was. I moved to Michigan
Speaker 1: actually a great state of Michigan. Okay, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: just get all off in your necktime there you go. Okay,
Speaker 1: when the people think that you know, you got it's
Speaker 1: a nice neck. So I moved to Michigan when I
Speaker 1: was very young, from England. From England Michigan. Well that's
Speaker 1: where mother's from. Okay, yeah, my father's British from my
Speaker 1: mom's from. So she moved to Britain for love. Yeah
Speaker 1: whoa your m the story in itself yeah, okay, absolutely, yes,
Speaker 1: that's a shot man. We were quite dangerous, clearly moved
Speaker 1: across the whole country for the whole the world for
Speaker 1: a man. Not country, new country okay. Yeah. So it
Speaker 1: was just growing up with my brother and I we
Speaker 1: loved the game of football for no reason. All my
Speaker 1: parents were athletes, um, and first of reason, the game
Speaker 1: really just look you spoke to me and as a
Speaker 1: sixth grader, bade my parents to play, and it was
Speaker 1: I was in love from that point forward. I just
Speaker 1: the game was made from me. I just love the
Speaker 1: physical contact of it and just what was required of
Speaker 1: you to be great? What is required to be great?
Speaker 1: What's required is everything you have, So you like to
Speaker 1: give it all to Oh my god, I I don't
Speaker 1: know another way really, and I'm it's It's one of
Speaker 1: the things I'm most proud of my ability to commit
Speaker 1: to something and give it everything that I have. So
Speaker 1: that is an amazing trait. By the way, it's what
Speaker 1: it's what I did was football from day one. It
Speaker 1: was like, as soon as that they showed me like, hey,
Speaker 1: this is what it takes. Oh okay, I just went
Speaker 1: and it was that when it takes. What took to
Speaker 1: be great for me was UM, working hards and everyone
Speaker 1: I saw, and then UM allown myself to be pushed
Speaker 1: to limits I never thought I could. So what happens
Speaker 1: when you get to those limits and you actually do
Speaker 1: more than you think you can't? What happens there? What
Speaker 1: happens is you expange your mind. Because what we do
Speaker 1: is we limit ourselves. We put um, we put feelings
Speaker 1: or you know, we put stopping points on well, you know,
Speaker 1: I could never do more than this, I could never
Speaker 1: do more than that. And the problem with that is
Speaker 1: is typically when we put those limits on ourselves, whether
Speaker 1: I mean, this is life right, this could be reading,
Speaker 1: this could be business, this could be whatever. And as
Speaker 1: soon as we put those limits, then we actually we
Speaker 1: subconsciously we make ourselves live those limits out. That's interesting.
Speaker 1: It's like telling yourself, and you know what, I'll never
Speaker 1: get into med school. So you might go ahead and
Speaker 1: try to study for the exam, but you you don't
Speaker 1: pass it because you if I told yourself, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna get in if I won't, so you study with
Speaker 1: that in your mind rather than saying I'm gonna get in.
Speaker 1: And therefore, when you're studying, you're thinking positive like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I need to pass this. I'm blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and so what's really The human mind is
Speaker 1: so powerful. We we convince ourselves right or wrong. And
Speaker 1: so for me, it was allowing a coach or a
Speaker 1: teammate to push me beyond those limits that I had
Speaker 1: set for myself and and understanding. I remember my high
Speaker 1: school coach, um, he said, you know, it's a tim
Speaker 1: look around you. You may be the best of what
Speaker 1: you see, but there's people out there. You know, when
Speaker 1: you go to college, everybody was the best of their
Speaker 1: high schools. It's it's explaining your mind and setting new
Speaker 1: limits and breaking through the old limits. So when you
Speaker 1: first felt that, did it feel amazing? Oh? It's added.
Speaker 1: It's an addicting thing. Um. You can become addicted to
Speaker 1: success or to even just achieving thing. Right, That's why
Speaker 1: people set daily tasks for themselves. It feels good to
Speaker 1: check off the bobs, like, hey, I did that, I
Speaker 1: did that. Um, so we can use that in a
Speaker 1: positive way. Right, you become addicted to getting better, become
Speaker 1: addicted to improving yourself, become addicted to helping be I mean,
Speaker 1: either things that can just propel humans do great heights.
Speaker 1: So you you love football. You discovered it when you
Speaker 1: were like in fifth grade or whatever. When you said so,
Speaker 1: then you decide you set this goal You're going to
Speaker 1: go to Penn State. Is that a goal you set? Well,
Speaker 1: it was the goal have to get a college scholarship somewhere. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you got stake, Yeah, options you did. First, you
Speaker 1: had a lot of timp show your shop are I mean,
Speaker 1: as a high school kid, I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 1: I was a grown man. I mean like I grew
Speaker 1: up so fast physically that when I was in high school. Man,
Speaker 1: then who you ask? Okay, okay, but you've always be respectful,
Speaker 1: of course, that's of course. I feel like we've got
Speaker 1: a dog track. Okay, back on track. Because that was
Speaker 1: so physically um advanced from my age. Colleges were very
Speaker 1: tragic to me because I'm already size and speed that
Speaker 1: they needed. So yeah, um, I had a lot of
Speaker 1: college options. But George, Pennce State, why did you choose
Speaker 1: pens State? Was m was different? It was far enough
Speaker 1: from home but not too far. It was blue collar,
Speaker 1: It was a very um story program, very respected, very big,
Speaker 1: kind of all the things I wanted in the college program.
Speaker 1: And I just really was blown away by the people
Speaker 1: there when I went to visit. So I really had
Speaker 1: a last defense that it was awesome. You love phin
Speaker 1: Sate and you switched positions, like you played something at
Speaker 1: Penn State and then your first college was not college?
Speaker 1: Was Carolina? Right? Professional? So what did you play at
Speaker 1: Penn State? So football is a game where yeah, the
Speaker 1: younger you are, the more the coaches will try to
Speaker 1: find a spot are you? And um, I was an athlete,
Speaker 1: so I played running back in high school. I played
Speaker 1: linebacker in high school, both those, but every college told
Speaker 1: me I was going to be a linebacker. Well, I
Speaker 1: got to Pense, I played running back. I thought that's
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, and I had some success,
Speaker 1: but then they switched my position while I was there,
Speaker 1: and ultimately I played linebacker and that that turned out.
Speaker 1: It was difficult at a time, but um, it really
Speaker 1: turned out to be a great thing. Obviously I played
Speaker 1: in the Pros playing linebacker, so it was definitely a
Speaker 1: positive change. So you went from you're now your linebacker.
Speaker 1: You went to Penn State, Carolina Panthers, then you gotta
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, and then Tennessee Titans. Are you
Speaker 1: changing positions? All these teams just changing teams. So we
Speaker 1: started special teams at Titans, right, So specialty teams is
Speaker 1: not a different position, It's just a different phase of
Speaker 1: the game. I think a big misconception about pro sports
Speaker 1: and the NFL and specific is that you go somewhere,
Speaker 1: you stay there for five years and you know, retired.
Speaker 1: But a lot of guys jump around teams not because
Speaker 1: they want to, they jump around because one team says
Speaker 1: you're not good enough for one team. Says we have
Speaker 1: some people like better or oh my gosh, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: So I was I was cut. I mean I was
Speaker 1: cut four four times. How do you handle that well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, it's very humbling, obviously, but it's
Speaker 1: those type of things where they make you just they
Speaker 1: really make you check yourself and check your ego and really,
Speaker 1: what do you believe in? How bad do you want
Speaker 1: to play football? Because when when the man called you
Speaker 1: upstairs and says, Tim, thank you for your time, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you go. Um, you know that's difficult,
Speaker 1: so you need to really I want I want to
Speaker 1: go through it again and and fight for another chance.
Speaker 1: So that four times I was yes over the court.
Speaker 1: My first four NFL seasons, I'll paid for four different
Speaker 1: teams ash. So that's emotionally exhausting. It wasn't amazing too well.
Speaker 1: So playing football in the NFL is an amazing experience.
Speaker 1: It's when I was a fifth grader, that's what I
Speaker 1: wanted to do. So you'll be able to live out
Speaker 1: your dream from from child. Who is really a special thing.
Speaker 1: But you're a special club. Once again, not everyone does that.
Speaker 1: You unique is unique. It's a very very small number
Speaker 1: of people who make it to that level. But with
Speaker 1: the good comes to bat and the bad was being cut,
Speaker 1: moving every year, um, losing friends, you know, going through
Speaker 1: just the instability of not having any job security and
Speaker 1: no commitment. So just that that affects life, It affects everything.
Speaker 1: So I was so committed to being a football player
Speaker 1: and reaching my potential as an athlete that it was
Speaker 1: just never an option for me to stop. So when
Speaker 1: I got cut, even the third time, actually just kept
Speaker 1: making me stronger because after the first time, I got
Speaker 1: picked back up, and after the second time, I got
Speaker 1: picked back up, So it made me I knew that
Speaker 1: I could play this game and I could play at
Speaker 1: this level. So it just built my confidence. And thank
Speaker 1: goodness you got cut last time because you ended up
Speaker 1: in Nashville exactly finally brought me to where I belong
Speaker 1: and this is where you belong. It is Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it here. And I spent three and a half
Speaker 1: seasons here playing which was fantastic, and really just enjoyed
Speaker 1: making Nashville home, getting comfortable here, the people, not just
Speaker 1: my teammate, but the people in the community across Point Church.
Speaker 1: And I'm jealous that you and Pastor Peter actually like
Speaker 1: real friends, aren't you. Well, you know, he's my celebrity crush.
Speaker 1: We've gotten together. He's the coolest person, which is our
Speaker 1: creature cross point. I'm a little bit jealous of his hair.
Speaker 1: His hair, if I could have that hair, I mean,
Speaker 1: would be a movie star, not a football player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear you that here is pretty fantastic
Speaker 1: for anyone listening. Is Pastor Pete a cross point church
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. You'll see google his face. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Nashville, you got to Nashville, what was your favorite team? Like,
Speaker 1: where did you have the most fun? Well? I was
Speaker 1: not in Every city I played in was fun and
Speaker 1: every city was a cool city. Charlotte's great City, the Beach, Chicago,
Speaker 1: just always something going on. They love football so much.
Speaker 1: But the reason that Tennessee was special. In Nashville, people
Speaker 1: are so nice. But also just two be living down
Speaker 1: thousand to have that Southern hospitality with I just love
Speaker 1: to hear. But so I had a blast because I
Speaker 1: got comfortable, and that was what made it so fun.
Speaker 1: To be valued and to be um contributing members of
Speaker 1: the team and to have success. That's what made the
Speaker 1: game so fun. It's the relationship that you built around
Speaker 1: you and make it so fun. So yeah, I had
Speaker 1: success on other teams, but it was that camaraderie and
Speaker 1: brotherhood that I built that made Nashville so fun. I know,
Speaker 1: do you have any favorite players from the Titans, like
Speaker 1: any besties? Well, actually, by the way, your tattoo, which
Speaker 1: I was asking about earlier, it's so cool. I've never
Speaker 1: seen your tattoo like this. Well, it's all I have
Speaker 1: the idea of this, this concept of brother who's love,
Speaker 1: and the idea that you know, brothers are made for
Speaker 1: times of adversity, and and so I'm a m I
Speaker 1: have a tattoo that that includes my biological brothers but
Speaker 1: also my my brothers from another mother. You know. I
Speaker 1: love that. It's this concept that I know, these guys
Speaker 1: always had my back, and whether we're it's still as
Speaker 1: close as we were, you know, when we were closest
Speaker 1: or not, it doesn't matter more. So I can look
Speaker 1: back and say, hey, I know this guy you know
Speaker 1: loves me, has my back and would do anything for
Speaker 1: me if he came down to it. So just that's
Speaker 1: so sweet. On the podcast, it's such a sweet tattoo though,
Speaker 1: and um to get real, to get really real about it. Um,
Speaker 1: I got this after I was diagnosed with ail US,
Speaker 1: and I experienced probably loving a way that I hadn't prior.
Speaker 1: And when you think about football players, you think about
Speaker 1: these tough guys, right, and not everyone on my arm
Speaker 1: is a football player. But imagine, imagine, um me a
Speaker 1: tough football player with the sweetest heart, with the sweetest heart.
Speaker 1: Now I have to tell my best friend the news
Speaker 1: that I've just been given. How do you do that?
Speaker 1: And so if I could do it in person, I
Speaker 1: did it, but most of them were over the phone.
Speaker 1: And Yeah, what I experienced in those conversations was the
Speaker 1: deepest um, I broaly love that I've ever experienced it,
Speaker 1: which was um, big strong, scary football players showing me,
Speaker 1: is this a big, strong, scary football her calling right now?
Speaker 1: So that was a bad timing by him. Hey, he
Speaker 1: just wants to be a part of this podcast. Bring on.
Speaker 1: So picture me calling another you know, intimidating football player
Speaker 1: and having to tell him that I've just been diagnosed
Speaker 1: with a death sentence and just feel and here the
Speaker 1: raw um honestly motion and cared for me from these guys,
Speaker 1: even to the point of of weeping and sobbing it together,
Speaker 1: you know, And that's a real thing. And there's something
Speaker 1: that this is even blew me away in those moments, like, man,
Speaker 1: this is this is someone who cares about me so much.
Speaker 1: And so that's what really birthed the idea for this
Speaker 1: sense too. So how did you get the news? Um,
Speaker 1: It was a long process of figuring out what was
Speaker 1: wrong with me, and we kind of just jumped ahead
Speaker 1: of fighting story. But but it was through a series
Speaker 1: of events. While I was playing football, I knew my
Speaker 1: body was messed up physically. The things that I was doing,
Speaker 1: I was just starting to struggle with im. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm playing football, I'm playing NFL football, but little things
Speaker 1: like I'm punching on my hand or a step up
Speaker 1: my foot, I just didn't feel right. That's it hard
Speaker 1: to explain, but this didn't feel right, and I'm losing strength.
Speaker 1: My upper balty was kind of getting weaker, and so
Speaker 1: well I'm storway short. The Titan end up cutting me.
Speaker 1: My performance kind of dropped a little bit, and I
Speaker 1: had to keep going to doctors too, you know what's
Speaker 1: wrong with me? So ultimately, Um, I finally with diagnosed
Speaker 1: at Vanderbilt, and the doctor just um, he said, hey,
Speaker 1: I wanted you a second opinion, but I'm I'm very
Speaker 1: positive that you have a LS. And at this point,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like there's like a huge awareness happening.
Speaker 1: My grandfather had it, so I knew what a LS was,
Speaker 1: but like, I don't feel like it was like a
Speaker 1: world conversation at that point. At if you this was April,
Speaker 1: and if you would have walked the streets and said, hey,
Speaker 1: what lugar disease? Hey, what's a LS, majority of people
Speaker 1: would not know. And so it's kind of a big
Speaker 1: part of my story is the timing of popular Yeah. Right,
Speaker 1: I mean, so it was April when I was I knows, well,
Speaker 1: August the whole world decides to dump water on the head, right, So,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is this is amazing divine timing
Speaker 1: that guess what I hadn't I hadn't come in public
Speaker 1: with my my diagnosis yet, So it was just really
Speaker 1: perfect timing. Yeah, so you decided to announced that you
Speaker 1: did it on the Titans website, right, Yeah, I conducted
Speaker 1: the Titans. There was rumors flying around already, so some
Speaker 1: of the titans new what I was going through, and
Speaker 1: I said, hey, let's let's do this right, Let's make
Speaker 1: a video and really be impactful. And so you know,
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, I was turning on Twitter. Um,
Speaker 1: I got Insta famous. You're super insto famous. Follow me
Speaker 1: T Shaws truth shats Truth. Yes. And your website which
Speaker 1: is t Shat's Truth. Yes it is. I checked it out.
Speaker 1: It's t shirts Truth Yeah, because t Shall speaks the truth.
Speaker 1: How do you feel like the ice bucket challenge affected
Speaker 1: the awareness veils didn't help? Oh, it blew it up
Speaker 1: and in such a positive way. The Icebuger Challenge was
Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air to a LS. This blows
Speaker 1: my mom when I think about it. But the disease
Speaker 1: that we call Luke Gregs disease, Luke Garrick had LS
Speaker 1: in n W seven or between nine. It's like seventy
Speaker 1: five years ago, totally, and and nothing had changed in
Speaker 1: that time. I'm exaggerating, but barely. The The pridnosis for
Speaker 1: someone is still two to five years in seventy five years.
Speaker 1: Why has there been no research on because it is
Speaker 1: very it's a it is it's not a very common disease.
Speaker 1: And therefore it's under funded and therefore it's nothing's been
Speaker 1: done at at a fast pace at all. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like now there's more research happenings. That's amazing the
Speaker 1: biggest impact of the years. But your challenge was not
Speaker 1: only awareness, but the awareness that led to money being
Speaker 1: donated that therefore these two research being done. There's more
Speaker 1: being done in this the last five years. I've been
Speaker 1: done in the seventy five years prior, right, So, and
Speaker 1: that's all awayes And they asked like a challenge was
Speaker 1: a huge, huge part of that. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: it was part of your plan to have this platform?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that with God? Because I
Speaker 1: know you're super Christian and faithful super or super Christian
Speaker 1: social hashtag super Christian hashtag, faithful, faithful hashtag. I wish
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what first and foremost, I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like that that this is what
Speaker 1: I'm going through. Actually hate it, and I wish I
Speaker 1: wasn't going through it. So I wrestle with is this
Speaker 1: my purpose? Is this part of my plan? Our? Rustled
Speaker 1: with those same thing and got I you know we
Speaker 1: have fights about it. What do you tell God, I
Speaker 1: tell him. I don't like tell them to take it back,
Speaker 1: go give someone else, you know, um, because I don't
Speaker 1: want to do it. I don't want to walk this road.
Speaker 1: But a big part of me cannot deny the enormity
Speaker 1: of of my platform and of what LS has brought,
Speaker 1: and the way that LS has brought me to the forefront,
Speaker 1: and of do you know what to speak on it?
Speaker 1: And being able to give a face to a disease
Speaker 1: that was known as blue Cars disease for seventy or
Speaker 1: five years. Now LYS will never be known as tim
Speaker 1: Show disease. Thank God. I don't want to be but
Speaker 1: I know that I have a platform right now to
Speaker 1: positively impact this diseason and people while I'm going through it,
Speaker 1: I can impact. So I hate it, but it's it's here,
Speaker 1: and it's it's mine for not well, I guess they say.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this life is so temporary. You
Speaker 1: are being called to use your life in a huge way,
Speaker 1: which is kind of annoying when you're on earth. I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, it's very annoying. It's like I
Speaker 1: don't want to be using used right I just want
Speaker 1: to go eat to pharmacy burgers. You know, I'm drinking beer,
Speaker 1: So yeah, So you don't want to have to be
Speaker 1: that faithful every day. Life is so short and I
Speaker 1: know that better than anyone that I know, and it's hard.
Speaker 1: The only way to know it, like I know it
Speaker 1: is to be going through what I'm going through. And
Speaker 1: it's not fun, it's it's lonely, but but it gives
Speaker 1: me a perspective, and it gives me great purpose and
Speaker 1: it allows me to really be impactful. It allows me
Speaker 1: to make the most of every day. It allows me
Speaker 1: to really dial into what is most important, allows me
Speaker 1: to eliminate a lot of garbage in my life and
Speaker 1: things that I don't need and things that people that
Speaker 1: I don't need to be messing with, and all types
Speaker 1: of stuff like that. So what what have you doubt
Speaker 1: in as most important? Most important? Number one is relationships
Speaker 1: and who who am I spending time with? Who am
Speaker 1: I impacting? And who am I allowing to impact me?
Speaker 1: So those are first and foremost of of what is
Speaker 1: most important. So after that, it's it's what can I
Speaker 1: do two be my greatest impact on the world. And
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm gone in a year, will I
Speaker 1: will I have made them so of what I've been given.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that I
Speaker 1: can't take a vacation or it doesn't mean I can't
Speaker 1: take a nap. It just means that if I do
Speaker 1: those things, make that, make that be the priority for
Speaker 1: that day, and say you know what, you know I
Speaker 1: needed that, I needed that, So what it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: I'm being lazy? Um. And then you know what, when
Speaker 1: it's time to go and serve someone, go and serve someone,
Speaker 1: and and really just being a in tune to doing
Speaker 1: the things that are important. And for me it's really
Speaker 1: almost more so of eliminating things that are not important. Well. Um,
Speaker 1: going back to the relationship thing, there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of relationships in our lives that are are not beneficial
Speaker 1: either way, and we waste a lot of time. Someone
Speaker 1: wants to get lunch or copy in is you know
Speaker 1: that they're a toxic person and know that you can't
Speaker 1: help them, it might not be worth your time. There's
Speaker 1: someone you know, it's just a matter of choosing the
Speaker 1: best action versus going, well, I may as well do that.
Speaker 1: No if if that's not what you're supposed to do,
Speaker 1: don't do it. I um, it's easier for me to
Speaker 1: say that than a lot of people. But I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people who spend a lot of the
Speaker 1: time doing things that they would run not do. Why
Speaker 1: do people do that? Why? A lot of different reasons.
Speaker 1: But you might feel obligated, you might not want to
Speaker 1: hurt someone's feelings. You might um be trying to do
Speaker 1: someone a favorite. Yeah, my endlestries, it's easier to say
Speaker 1: yes and the same or you know what, you just
Speaker 1: don't know what's most important, or you're not in tune
Speaker 1: with what you really should to be doing. So do
Speaker 1: you feel like over through football, through and now through
Speaker 1: a l S, do you feel like you have gotten
Speaker 1: really self aware? I am so self aware? What does
Speaker 1: that mean for you? Number? One is physically, I'm self
Speaker 1: aware of of every movement I make. Alys has forced
Speaker 1: me to so down and contemplate before I do anything,
Speaker 1: and that includes getting up out of this year. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to figure out how to get that done.
Speaker 1: So Number why, I'm self aware of that. But also
Speaker 1: it has really made me forced me to evaluate my
Speaker 1: time and my energy. So what am I spending my
Speaker 1: thoughts on? What am I putting into my brain and
Speaker 1: then who am I spending one time? Was? So I'm
Speaker 1: just so aware of of what I want and what
Speaker 1: I need and what is most important because I am
Speaker 1: not under the illusion that the world is under, which
Speaker 1: is we have time. It's a oh, it's such a busting.
Speaker 1: It's such a bussing. Now you pay the price for it,
Speaker 1: but it's a busting. And for everyone who's listening right now,
Speaker 1: if if there's something that you would really you know
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do, but you haven't done it because
Speaker 1: you're saying I know I have time, you're lying to yourself.
Speaker 1: You're fooling yourself because you don't know. And just because
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened to you, you've seen it half dollars
Speaker 1: where life gets cut short. And so this is not
Speaker 1: a no, it's not a negative mindset's not morbid mindset.
Speaker 1: It's a mindset. If it's most important to you, do
Speaker 1: it right now. Why not If it's not the most
Speaker 1: important to you, then don't do it right I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's plainly simple in that way, and it's not
Speaker 1: as easy and I'm making it sound. But if your
Speaker 1: husband says you are the most important person to me,
Speaker 1: But then he constantly chooses just since spend time with
Speaker 1: someone else over you, then then you're not most important.
Speaker 1: And and that's my point of what you're doing, what
Speaker 1: you choose to do at that moment should be the
Speaker 1: most important thing. And it's a difficult way to live.
Speaker 1: It's a difficult thing to get yourself to that point.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm at that point. I'm I'm seeing here
Speaker 1: right now talking to you because that's why I deem
Speaker 1: most important. I'm not doing it as a favorite of you.
Speaker 1: I'm not is right now is why I be most
Speaker 1: important to do. And um, so I'm learned to say
Speaker 1: no to things that are not let's say, even good things. Here,
Speaker 1: here's what we get caught up right, there's so many
Speaker 1: good things. We have so many good options that we
Speaker 1: can do. It's okay to say no to something that's good.
Speaker 1: Someone wants you to come and play a song in
Speaker 1: their charity event. What's a good event? But you know
Speaker 1: what your mission is over here. Maybe you're mentioning it. No,
Speaker 1: that's not my charity. So it's like it doesn't wrong
Speaker 1: with saying no to something you know what you're mentioning it.
Speaker 1: And you go down that path. So it's it's my mindset.
Speaker 1: It's totally changed. I mean, what is your mindset is
Speaker 1: just what is most important to you? Do you have
Speaker 1: like a motto of tim Shaw motto, like a life motto,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, I don't want one thing I
Speaker 1: don't want to come across is that it's what is
Speaker 1: most important to me. It means that it's a selfish
Speaker 1: motto because when you a lot of times what's most
Speaker 1: important to me is doing something for someone else. Right so, um,
Speaker 1: it could look very selfish or it could look very
Speaker 1: outwurd focus, which is what I really want people do
Speaker 1: probably get their lives, is our focus. And um so
Speaker 1: for me it's hey, what is the most important right now?
Speaker 1: The point of of me talking with you is I
Speaker 1: think there's some things I prayed that there's something that
Speaker 1: I might say so that might impact one and this
Speaker 1: is a great avenue to have them here. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say something and tell me. You might think I'm crazy,
Speaker 1: but do you think you are kind of like a prophet,
Speaker 1: you know, like one of those chosen people who was
Speaker 1: called to this earth to really enlighten people. Because you
Speaker 1: have always been that in my mind, like a beacon
Speaker 1: of light. And you've been faithful, but you're never pushy,
Speaker 1: you know, like so many people who are super faithful
Speaker 1: shove it down your throat and the last thing you
Speaker 1: want to do is believe what they believe. You know,
Speaker 1: you have always been this beacon of faith and I
Speaker 1: don't know, just like bigger picture and now you have
Speaker 1: this big platform, like I wonder if you are a
Speaker 1: modern day profit. Well thank you first of all, but
Speaker 1: I mean the answer is no, I've never I've never
Speaker 1: thought that. I've always known this. I have always known
Speaker 1: this from from high school on, is that that guy
Speaker 1: has given me a platform and he's given me the
Speaker 1: ability ability to communicate. So the combination of my platform
Speaker 1: and the ability to communicate, I've really felt a responsibility
Speaker 1: to two um kind of like like you said, And
Speaker 1: to me, what that means is, I want people to
Speaker 1: see who I am and how I'm living. I don't
Speaker 1: need to preach, I don't need to um shove any
Speaker 1: religion or or anything or shoving agenda. I just want
Speaker 1: people to see the way I'm living. I want them
Speaker 1: to say, man I want to live like that, or man,
Speaker 1: what why does he live like that? Or why is
Speaker 1: he different? Why is he what is this stuff he's
Speaker 1: talking about? So I just believe that people are most
Speaker 1: willing to listen when you know, when they know you
Speaker 1: care about them, when they know you're not trying to
Speaker 1: change them, or you know, tell them they're wrong, because
Speaker 1: guess why I'm wrong. I'm not also, and I'm I've
Speaker 1: made a lot of mistakes and I've done a lot
Speaker 1: of wrong things. But ultimately, where to love people? Where
Speaker 1: to impact people? So? Um, I no a profit, I
Speaker 1: don't think so in life maybe past Oh yeah, you'll
Speaker 1: go neck and nect it might be Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: close cough. Okay, So let's talk about your businesses because
Speaker 1: you are a businessman. Yeah, I love it hot Box,
Speaker 1: which that is thriving. Everyone in Nashville I know goes there.
Speaker 1: So hot By business is the coolest, most badass work out.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get still too scared to try. I know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. You need you're The problem is
Speaker 1: you'll get addicted to so. I mean it's just you
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's a place where people go
Speaker 1: and they just feel comfortable of being themselves. Right. The
Speaker 1: group of people that work out there are just like
Speaker 1: family in um it's just such a warm and inviting environment.
Speaker 1: So I physically cannot take a hot box close anymore.
Speaker 1: My body won't do it. But I love to just
Speaker 1: go in there. Yeah, because the energy is great, and um,
Speaker 1: I love the staff that worked there. It's just it's
Speaker 1: a cool place to be in and people are in
Speaker 1: there getting healthy, which is awesome. You also own a
Speaker 1: co own a music venue. Well, the music men you failed,
Speaker 1: So listen, I'm not the best businessman in the world. Okay,
Speaker 1: I met some failure. Um, I was a part owner
Speaker 1: of twelve the Porter for a while. I didn't know it. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: more No, it's it's going to reopen here truly. Okay. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's if you're going to own a venue, that's the
Speaker 1: one to go for. Yeah. Well, you know, we're trying
Speaker 1: to restaurant in there and just didn't go well. But
Speaker 1: so hey, we all have failures in there. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't really think it counts us I really don't believe
Speaker 1: in failures anymore. I used to think failure was a
Speaker 1: real thing, but I kind of think it's just a
Speaker 1: way too redirect your course. Absolutely, absolutely the reason and
Speaker 1: then my money too, right down the Usians lifestyle, you know,
Speaker 1: musicians terrible. But I have another a couple of other businesses.
Speaker 1: The one that I think I want the world to
Speaker 1: know about. It's called Music Loft. Music City Loft, that's right,
Speaker 1: and Music Loft is they're condos. They're vacation rentals downtown Nashville,
Speaker 1: Fourth and Church. I mean, yeah, I cannot get a
Speaker 1: better location. And these kindos are just beautiful. They are
Speaker 1: you know, exposed brick and wood beans, you know, and
Speaker 1: just all really unique and cool and um this is
Speaker 1: where we run these out one weekend basis, so people
Speaker 1: coming on on VRBO and it's just a really really
Speaker 1: cool way to come and stay in Nashville. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of like a bed and breakfast but way modern
Speaker 1: and tighten with air to kind of do different websodes.
Speaker 1: So how many do you have? So I have? And
Speaker 1: are they getting rented? So this is great? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Nashville is great. I mean Nashville is awesome. The way
Speaker 1: that people are just experiencing Nashville now, I means the growth,
Speaker 1: the tourism. It's such a cool city be a part
Speaker 1: of right now, just the excitement surrounding our city. Right
Speaker 1: in Ationwy people are moving to Nashville. Gosh, hot spot.
Speaker 1: So a partner and I own them, and she does
Speaker 1: an amazing job running the operation. Just a pinmal business woman.
Speaker 1: And it's just exciting to be a part of the
Speaker 1: market as it is right now. Any other businesses, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do a lot of a lot of real estate investing.
Speaker 1: That's risky business. You're a daredevil. Well you know all
Speaker 1: that stuff. You have to you have to pick into
Speaker 1: the right spots and it is risky. But but in
Speaker 1: the nationals booming the market like Nashville, you had to
Speaker 1: pick pick your good spots. And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: Here's why I'm good at what I do. I'm so
Speaker 1: smart that partner with smart people. I don't have to
Speaker 1: be the smartest guy. I don't have to know everything,
Speaker 1: but I needed partner with someone who does. So I
Speaker 1: really pat myself on the back for picking great partners
Speaker 1: and therefore we work better together. You always loved it.
Speaker 1: I have. I have And the NFL hell allowed me
Speaker 1: to experience, you know, approachsing some houses and that might
Speaker 1: not want to move or things like that. I kind
Speaker 1: of was able to start figuring out the markets and
Speaker 1: how it all works. But ultimately, I'm you need to
Speaker 1: surround yourself with fire people and to always get good
Speaker 1: advice and always m be thorough in the processes that
Speaker 1: you're going through. Who has been the greatest influence on
Speaker 1: your life? Well, that's a question that brings a lot
Speaker 1: of people to mind think about. I spent so much
Speaker 1: time around my parents, so they've greatly influenced me. Just
Speaker 1: all those things, like little by little every day, every day,
Speaker 1: every day, so such great examples of of humans who
Speaker 1: just want to third others and do right. Um and
Speaker 1: then it football. I've had a couple of great, great
Speaker 1: mentors and great men who have taught me that there's
Speaker 1: more to life than football. These are guys like Rizzy
Speaker 1: Pleasant and he was a Titans chaplin for seventeen years
Speaker 1: and just this, guys like Dying Wild can look back
Speaker 1: over while life as they man. These people cared about
Speaker 1: me enough to tell me that there's more than football.
Speaker 1: You wear two different colors, she's quite often what is
Speaker 1: the reason for this? Tennessee's and dressed too. She was.
Speaker 1: I noticed like I saw you all spiffy and not today,
Speaker 1: I saw you all spiffy though in a suit and
Speaker 1: you kind of a black and a brown one that
Speaker 1: takes some balls. The basest one I've ever done it.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. This grandmother that I met
Speaker 1: at the wedding where I were wearing those, she was
Speaker 1: after you. Oh she didn't know. She said, what what?
Speaker 1: What happened here? Said? Don't you like? She don't care.
Speaker 1: She's gonna tell you what? Number one. I'd like to
Speaker 1: be different. I'd like to just so that's something simple
Speaker 1: I can saying, you know what, I'm different, And that's
Speaker 1: kind of my way. I say I'm promoting diversity, right,
Speaker 1: you all should be different, but I really believe you should.
Speaker 1: Just you don't want to be yourself. Yeah, don't be
Speaker 1: afraid to stand now, stop following the crowd, stop doing
Speaker 1: what everyone else is doing. Come on, let's let's be ourselves.
Speaker 1: Let's be original. You don't have to do something crazy, right,
Speaker 1: But really, it started off as an experiment. I was
Speaker 1: trying to see if I was an influential person. A
Speaker 1: little test trends years ago, five years ago, you're doing that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: now listen, I think people are starting to catch on.
Speaker 1: Five years later. Yeah, if you go yeah, you'll see
Speaker 1: it more and more. Okay, so when you see that,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I started it, but I think
Speaker 1: you might have so, and I think you might be
Speaker 1: an influential person. I think the verdict is out and
Speaker 1: it's come back. Yes, but I think in the fashion world,
Speaker 1: Oh no, now you got some, you got some your
Speaker 1: you got some, you got some swag. Okay, so let
Speaker 1: me I want to make sure I've covered all the
Speaker 1: things I wanted to talk about. Best man, Tim, tell
Speaker 1: me about that. Oh well, you're my best man, Tim,
Speaker 1: You're welcome. That was a it was a fun writing
Speaker 1: effort that has really worked out. So okay, now we're
Speaker 1: going with the t shats strong. I like that. And
Speaker 1: you also do a walk ye the Nashville. There's really
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff out there, and I would
Speaker 1: to encourage everyone that find the cause that you can
Speaker 1: get on board with its right. The Nashville had the
Speaker 1: Musco Distrite Associations Association. I mean, they do funders rails.
Speaker 1: So I just tried to get on board with those
Speaker 1: and just help them with their efforts. They've already got going.
Speaker 1: I'm just bring my added a little om to it.
Speaker 1: So um, those are a couple of things I've jumped
Speaker 1: on board with. But I would encourage people, you know,
Speaker 1: find whatever that that causes that you can feel connected
Speaker 1: to um and and find something that they're doing and
Speaker 1: help them out. So you love to travel, You're like
Speaker 1: quite the world traveler. You're kind of a dar devil too.

Speaker 1: kind of yeah. I feel like you can either make
Speaker 1: your own opportunity or you can jump on some something
Speaker 1: like calling them boy. So I'm all about just taking
Speaker 1: advantage of of what's putting funny yellow. Yeah you know
Speaker 1: what that was? That wasn't popularly long enough? I love
Speaker 1: yellow off too quickly, didn't bring that, Let's bring it back.
Speaker 1: Michael says that my husband like every day because he's
Speaker 1: always trying to do stuff that I would probably say
Speaker 1: no to. But it's like hey yellow, oh yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So I want to play a little game with you.
Speaker 1: Just two questions, just rapid fire. It's not really a
Speaker 1: big game. How much money would it take for you
Speaker 1: to tongue kiss a monkey? Oh? Like five dollars? I know.
Speaker 1: I mean I tounk his dogs all the time. You
Speaker 1: know when you go to Bali they have a monkey rainforest. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not. How would you feel if you're forced to
Speaker 1: unload an eighteen wheeler full of skittles and organize them
Speaker 1: my color? And what would your strategy be? I would
Speaker 1: use a leap blower to give them out of the truck,
Speaker 1: but I would unload them into buckets and then I
Speaker 1: would eat all the red ones that would like eliminate
Speaker 1: one color. Yeah, that's a good plan. After that, it
Speaker 1: would really just be a random kiss and checked month
Speaker 1: take a lot of patients. I wouldn't enjoy it. If
Speaker 1: a movie or too made about your life, he would
Speaker 1: play you and why well I think the Rock? Oh
Speaker 1: nice choice. I love him. Good ones. He's super positive
