That is my favorite part 13 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 3: of it. 14 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: You know me too. And I kept up my Christmas 15 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: tree just so I could truly have a white Christmas. 16 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 3: Same about there's snow outside, you have the Christmas tree on, 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 3: it just feels cozy. 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: Yes, And we have to have at least one of 19 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: those moments a year and then I'll be okay taking 20 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: it down. 21 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 3: How long are you keeping all your Christmas stuff up? 22 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: Because we're still full Christmas over here. 23 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: Same, I don't have a plan date in this moment 24 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: in time, so it could be up through the end 25 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: of January could be up into February. I'm pretty sure 26 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: last year I kept it up through the end of February. 27 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: I just was really enjoying it, So we'll see if 28 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: I can beat that time. When are you guys taking 29 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: your sound? 30 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 3: I think going into this, we were saying this is 31 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 3: our last week. I think no storm might be the 32 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: end of it. So we'll see you though. 33 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: Okay, you're doing better than I am. Part of me 34 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: is just also lazy, and I don't really once need 35 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: the effort to take it down, all right. Starting with 36 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: this shout out from Kathy and Boston, she said, I 37 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: just wanted to say I love hearing him on the show, 38 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: so shout out Mike. 39 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: Appreciate that, Kelly. 40 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, like it feels weird to say I 41 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: love hearing those things. But sometimes just like, oh yeah, 42 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 3: people know I exist. 43 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: They absolutely know you exist. All right, we're getting into 44 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: these questions now. This first one's like odd, but I 45 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: obviously want to bring it up because I don't know 46 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: how or why she thought this. Maybe because your wife 47 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: tutors some of the kids in the family. But Katie said, 48 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: is Mike's wife still a teacher? 49 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: Never been a teacher. 50 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: She did do some tutering. She's very smart, much smarter 51 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 3: than than I am. She teaches me things, so in 52 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: that sense, she is a teacher. No, she also doesn't 53 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: tutor anymore. She did that in college and then just 54 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: loves teaching kids and I think that's always fun for her. 55 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: But now with her job, she just can't do it anymore. 56 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: And what is her job? Just so the people can 57 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: know that she's not a teacher. 58 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 3: Uh, I don't know if she'd want me to say 59 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: not that it's yeah, but she not a teacher. 60 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: Not a teacher, Okay, just confirming for everyone out here. 61 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: I think I'm assuming that's why they think that's because 62 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: she did help tutor like Amy's kids and Eddie's too, right. 63 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, And she's talked about her job in college, which 64 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: she worked at the University of Texas, so she's always 65 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: been around education. 66 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: Got it, Okay, So just some confusion there. Alissa and 67 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: Illinois would like to know if you have any concerts, 68 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: big trips events planned for twenty twenty five. 69 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: You know, going into this year, I said to myself 70 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 3: and said to my wife, I'm a little bit over concerts. 71 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Wow, And I think. 72 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: It was last year, I kind of completed my list 73 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 3: of artists that I'd never seen. I've now seen all 74 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 3: my big favorite artists. I've seen Blanklin eighty two, I've 75 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: seen Green Day, Post Malone in a stadium setting. I 76 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: don't know that there's anybody else that I would want 77 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 3: to see to pay the amount of money that concerts 78 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: cost these days. Yeah, I think the only other person 79 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: would probably be Tyler the Creator, but he just announced 80 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: that he's doing Bonnerout, and I don't want to go 81 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: to Bonnaroo. So there's really no one else that I 82 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 3: am dying to see in my lifetime. 83 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: And I think, why don't you want to go to Bonnaru. 84 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: I like festivals were your thing though, especially like you 85 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: used to do the the mosh pit festivals. 86 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: Yea, but Bonnaru is like you have to go in 87 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 3: camp and be out far away, like if that if 88 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: Bonnarou was like in Nashville, I would go one hundred percent. 89 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 3: But I'm not about that life of going somewhere and 90 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 3: camping out, Like I would love to go to Coachella, 91 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: but I don't want to do that whole experience. 92 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: So I think I'm past going to festival. 93 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: The only festival I could really ever see myself going 94 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: to now is maybe Lollapalooza, but that's just because I 95 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 3: love Chicago and usually has a really good lineup. But 96 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: I think for twenty twenty five, unless it's a smaller concert, 97 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 3: like a smaller band that I like that's playing a 98 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: club or like a medium sized venue, I think outside 99 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 3: of that, I'm not too into going to concerts this year. 100 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: That's funny. It's funny you say that because I literally 101 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: we had done a bowling thing the other night and 102 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: it was really awesome. It was for a charity event. 103 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: But I looked at Lunchbox and I was like, I 104 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: don't think I can do all the events this year. 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: I think I'm tired. Like last year, I feel like 106 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: I tried to do everything and go to all the shows, 107 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: and I was like, I tired. 108 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 3: I think for me, like I feel like I'm a 109 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 3: little bit jaded by the concert experience, just because with 110 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: our job, we have been able to go to a 111 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 3: lot of concerts, and I'm grateful for that, like we 112 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: get free tickets a lot of time to go to 113 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: these concerts. I guess it's that I want something a 114 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: little bit more out of the experience, and unless somebody 115 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 3: that I'm going to see is going to put on 116 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: like a real production where there's which is obviously an 117 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: expensive thing to do. Touring is more and more expensive 118 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: for artists, so I can see why some things are 119 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: scaled back. But unless I'm going to something that feels 120 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: like a big art piece and they have a lot 121 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: of different sets and stages and costume changes and it 122 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: feels like a big production, I don't think at this 123 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: point I could justify the price of having to pay 124 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: for concert tickets and not getting something that I feel 125 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: is worth my money. 126 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do feel like that's how a lot 127 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: of people are starting to feel with concerts. So hopefully 128 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five the price has come down at 129 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: least a little bit. I would be ideal for. 130 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: Like real fans. 131 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 3: That's what's the thing about, Like people who love these 132 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: artists and want to go see them, and they can't 133 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 3: go see them because tickets get bought up and then 134 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: they're resold at an incredible amount and you can't even 135 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 3: go see your favorite artists. So you're not even feeling 136 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,679 Speaker 3: filling these stadiums with real fans. 137 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: It's just yeah, you know twenty twenty five. Let twenty 138 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: twenty five be the year that all those ticket masters 139 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: scammers are gone with the wind. Yeah, what do you 140 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: do to discipline yourself for running and eating? Ride? This 141 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: is from Bobby, not Bobby Bones Bobby with I E. 142 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: I think with running, I set out every week to 143 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 3: kind of have a mileage I want to hit, and 144 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 3: I just make a point of my day to do 145 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: it before I want to power down. So I try 146 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: to whether it be usually like the first thing after work, 147 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm gonna go get this run, and because 148 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 3: if I wait and do it later, I'm not going 149 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: to do it. And that's the only way I've been 150 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: able to discipline myself of getting it out of the 151 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 3: way as soon as possible. I think that's with anything, 152 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: with running, going to the gym, ending in my life, 153 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: the things I don't want to do, I try to 154 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: do first because you do them, you get them out 155 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 3: of the way, then it's not such a big deal, 156 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 3: and then you're done. You have the rest of the 157 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 3: day to do whatever else you want. It's about doing 158 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: those things you don't want to do when you don't 159 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: want to do them. 160 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, you're really good about that you have really 161 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: good discipline, and discipline is something that you have to 162 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: teach yourself. For sure. It sounds something that comes. 163 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Actually, I think for me, it probably took like 164 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 3: a solid three months to kind of build that up 165 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: in my head, and even like a full year until 166 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: it really became like a part of my DNA. So 167 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: it does take some time. Because I have shared my 168 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 3: story of losing weight. I've lost over one hundred pounds 169 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: and kept it off I think for going on eight 170 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: or nine years now, and it's that kind of discipline 171 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 3: you gain knowing that it's not going to happen super 172 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: quick and not going to happen overnight that really allowed 173 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: me to do it because I failed a lot of 174 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: times before it actually stuck. And I don't talk about 175 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: those times. Most people don't talk about those times. You 176 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: remember the time that you actually accomplishment. Accomplish it. But 177 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: there were a lot of times where I would try 178 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: to develop these habits and I wasn't disciplined. I was motivated, 179 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 3: and I'd get motivated for like two weeks maybe a month, 180 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: but after that, I'm like, all right, I'll just go 181 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: back and I fail this time. So there was a 182 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: big difference in once I actually got disciplined of like 183 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: put things in place and gave myself these parameters to 184 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 3: work in that it ends up sticking. So it is 185 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: hard to do. But I think it's once you form 186 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: that habit. It does take a few months, maybe a year, 187 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 3: that it'll kind of just get built into you and 188 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: then now I just don't even think about it. It's 189 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: just kind of how I roll. 190 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, you're you're great at that. You're you should 191 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: be like the motivational speaker for discipline. You've nailed it. 192 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: It's really all just about developing a routine. I think 193 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 3: I'm about I love checking things off a checklist. So 194 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 3: it's having that routine and having that checklist of like Okay, 195 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: I'm gonna do this, I'm going to do that, And 196 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: as soon as that's checked off, that's just comforting to 197 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: me because I'm like, Okay, I did it. 198 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 2: I can move on. 199 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. I do love a checklist too. Isn't it weird 200 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: how we all like love that feeling of like oh 201 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: mark that off, oh mark that off, like the feel 202 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: good feeling. 203 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: Every day. 204 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 3: I have a note that I'm like a working note 205 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: where I just put all the things I want to 206 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 3: do that day, and there's just some comfort of doing 207 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: it and then clearing it off the list and clearing 208 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 3: off the note. 209 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: Mm hmmm.

So 224 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: my teeth are straight and I could get them off 225 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 3: now and move on to the next part of this, 226 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 3: but I kind of allowed them to. I trusted them 227 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 3: and saying like, hey, we think we can work on this. 228 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 3: And get this fixed. But I think I'm at that 229 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: point now where I think I just want them off, 230 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 3: like it is what it is. I don't think I'm 231 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: trying to get perfect teeth. I think I've already felt 232 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: a lot more confident where they are now and in 233 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: my appointment that I have coming on me, Like, yo, 234 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 3: how can we just move on of this now like 235 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 3: we tried it.

I'm turning 237 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 3: thirty four this year. I don't think I want to 238 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 3: turn another age and still have them on. 239 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean you have to do whatever makes 240 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: you feel happy and comfortable versus you know what everybody 241 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: else is trying to get you to do too, so 242 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: I bet they would. But also like, if you want 243 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: to keep doing it, keep doing it if it feels 244 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: good to you. 245 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I don't mind having them like, it's more 246 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: so the people who are comment on everything I post 247 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 3: saying when are you getting those off? 248 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 2: You've had those forever? 249 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: Like I know, guys, like I am the person wearing these, 250 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: I'm aware. I'm not unaware that I like, oh I 251 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 3: still have them on. I'm aware and I am the 252 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: one going to all my appointments and doing all these 253 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: things and paying for it. I am fully aware that 254 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: I've had them for a long time, and I think 255 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 3: the thing I've just kind of felt in the last 256 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: few months is like I'm also just sick of having 257 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 3: them on my teeth, and like they've tried. They've added 258 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 3: more things tom and more things poke me in my mouth. Yeah, 259 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: they affect the way I speak a little bit. So 260 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: I think I've reached my endpoint on that where even 261 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 3: I'm at that point where I don't want to move 262 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: forward with them anymore as far as like trying anything else. 263 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: So I've reached the point that some people have reached online. 264 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: Of being sick of them. 265 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: A dang online people man that I mean, it is 266 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: not at all in any way the same, But there 267 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: was a part of me, like I'll be lying if 268 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: I said I didn't get rid of my banks because 269 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: I was just tired of dealing with people call me 270 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: about it, Like, I do understand that. 271 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 3: It sucks when you post something it has nothing to 272 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 3: do with it, and that's all people want to bring 273 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: attention to. You're like, I just made this really great 274 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 3: post and all he cares about what is on my 275 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: face or what is on in my mouth. 276 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: Literally, you're like, there's nothing else going on in your 277 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: life that it's more important than asking that question. But 278 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: that's why I say, like I did. I I got 279 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: rid of mine finally because I was tired of stiling 280 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: them because they were how much effort and work. But like, 281 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: I did that for me, So just do it for you, though, 282 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: don't do it for the fricking people online, because you 283 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: gotta do whatever is gonna make you happy. They're gonna 284 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: do it regardless, and unfortunately, even if you get them off, 285 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: then they're gonna have something else new that they're gonna 286 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: constantly comment on. So from after that, I listen, I 287 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: don't know what they find. They find things, I promise 288 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: you they find things. They're crazy over there. All right, 289 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back. 290 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 1: What movie are you most looking forward to in twenty 291 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: twenty five? This is from Ashley. 292 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 2: Before I saw. 293 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 3: The Superman trailer, it was the New Captain America. But 294 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 3: I think after seeing that Superman trailer, I think that 295 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: is the one I'm looking forward. 296 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: To the most. 297 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: Don't say that the New Captain America gets me hyped 298 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: every time I see it. 299 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 3: It looks great, Red Hulk looks great. I think Harrison 300 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 3: Ford is going to be amazing in it. I can't 301 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 3: wait to see how Anthony Mackie steps up, and now 302 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 3: that they're using more about the fight between Red Hulk 303 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: and Captain America, I think that is going to be amazing. 304 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 3: I can't wait to see what other characters are introduced, 305 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: because they have to introduce some other people in this movie. 306 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: I think this is gonna be a big piece for Marvel. 307 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 3: But when you look at superhero movies right now and 308 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: where people stand on them, I think what is gonna 309 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: happen with the Superman movie is going to be so 310 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: much bigger of a statement of superhero movies for the 311 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: next one year specifically, but for the next five years. 312 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: I think that is going to set an entirely different 313 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 3: trajectory of creating that divide between Marvel and DC, which 314 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 3: Marvel has always been seen as the best. DC has 315 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 3: always been seen as the bomb. But I think if 316 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 3: that movie comes out and is as successful and changes 317 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 3: the tone and really shows you what DC characters are about, 318 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: that is also going to make Marvel have to be better. 319 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 3: So I think it's gonna be the competition between those 320 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: two studios that we need. It's like Coke and PEPSI 321 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 3: like those two are competitors and it makes sodas better. 322 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 3: I think if DC can step it up and put 323 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: out movies, then not only fans love, but also make 324 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 3: a lot of money. That's going to challenge Marvel to 325 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 3: keep making movies that are also still testing that because 326 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: they're gonna have real competition, especially especially if they start 327 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: putting out movies around the same time and battling against 328 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 3: each other. So I have also not been the biggest 329 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: Superman fan just in my lifetime. 330 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: Like he feels a lot more classic to me. 331 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: The comic itself dates way back before me, and I 332 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 3: feel if they can humanize him a little bit more 333 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 3: and broaden what people feel about Superman, I think that'll 334 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,479 Speaker 3: definitely change that perspective. 335 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: You know what what made him a little bit more 336 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: human for me was watching It's called the small ms Smallville. 337 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: I think it's called Smallville with uh what'd you ask me? 338 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: C W show? 339 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was a CW show, uh or 340 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: maybe Whovill, but it was it's about it's about Superman, 341 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: but it's yeah, it's Smallville and it's like his entire 342 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: like actual there's like eight or nine seasons of it 343 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: and I've bench watched all of them. 344 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was huge back in the day. 345 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: M hm. That was one of the ones that when 346 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: I was on my kick of rewatching things and I'd 347 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: gotten on all like the superhero stuff, and I went 348 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole of all the DC shows and 349 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: then somebody's like, oh, you have to watch Smallville, and 350 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: then I did. I was like, oh, shoot, this is 351 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: actually really good. So that one that one did do that. 352 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: So I will be curious to see if, like how 353 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: that movie makes me feel with all of the connections 354 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: now that I have to DC, because I feel like 355 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: I've watched everything in the DC world. 356 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think now that James Gunn is taking 357 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 3: over DC, who he's a great director. He did all 358 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 3: of the Guardian's movies and he is kind of going 359 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 3: to be the one who's going to be kind of 360 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: controlling everything as far as like we need to have 361 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: some cohesion here. These movies need to make sense and 362 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: they need to all match together. I think with him 363 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: behind it, I think it has the potential to be 364 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 3: a really great movie. 365 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 1: What's the other Is he the one that did Suicide Squad? 366 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: Yeah? These Suicide Squad not the bad one, but the 367 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 2: better one. 368 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, gosh see this is also the problem with these. 369 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, I get it that you've been trying 370 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: to like make them better, but like the fact that 371 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: there's multiple versions of the same thing stresses my brain out. 372 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 3: I think that's what money's in a lot is there's 373 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 3: different versions of Batman. They've had all these different characters 374 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 3: and mostly things that didn't work. It's streamlining it for 375 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 3: people who aren't that familiar with everything and making them like, oh, 376 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 3: this is how we're restarting everything and this is everything now. 377 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: It's a tough thing to do because even me sometimes 378 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 3: I'm like, how does this connect again? 379 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, like, what are you guys doing now?

I started journaling my life right 459 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: around twenty sixteen when I moved here, and I've been 460 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 3: doing that consistently. Now twenty sixteen, how long I've been here? 461 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 2: Nine years? Eight years? 462 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: Wow? Wait, every single day or like once a week. 463 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: What's the situation for. 464 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: A period of my life here. 465 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: I'd say from twenty sixteen to probably twenty eighteen, it 466 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 3: was pretty consistently every day, if not the other day. 467 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: And I was also traveling so much at that time 468 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 3: that anytime I was on a plane or back of 469 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 3: a car, I would journal. So I literally have this 470 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 3: log of just years of my life. So I've always 471 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 3: wrote that in thinking that someday I could turn this 472 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 3: into a book, because I read a book probably around 473 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 3: that same time where that is what the entire book was. 474 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: It was like journal entries, and then in between it 475 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 3: was a lot of narrative of this person's life. And 476 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 3: I always thought that was a cool format because that's 477 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: something that when you write it, it's so raw and 478 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 3: it's just like, oh, here's this diary entry, but then 479 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 3: you can go back and tell a story around it. 480 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 3: I just thought that was an interesting format, and also 481 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 3: for me who has trouble reading long books. Sometimes I 482 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: think it's a good way to go back and forth 483 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: of like here, I am reading a traditional book, but 484 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 3: then there's a little excerpt here that really kind of 485 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 3: gives you a dive into that person's life. So I 486 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 3: have years of that and sometimes I'll go through and 487 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 3: read it and I'm like, Wow, this is crazy that 488 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 3: I stuff that I wouldn't remember. It could just be 489 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 3: like a random Tuesday on a day where I was 490 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 3: feeling something. At the time, it felt insignificant, but you 491 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 3: look back on it like, oh, that was like a specific. 492 00:22:59,320 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: Moment in my life. 493 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 3: So I think I don't know that it would be 494 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 3: entirely just my experience on the show, but it would 495 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: be like a chronological of my life during those early 496 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 3: stages of moving here for the show, and I think 497 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: a lot of it probably would be about it because 498 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: it's surrounded with the travel that I did, like for touring, 499 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 3: going out for Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, that's 500 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 3: all in there, So it's obviously going to be embedded in, 501 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 3: probably more so like my and Bobby's relationship, because a 502 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 3: lot of that was all what I wrote about, and 503 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 3: just like how that dynamic was, Yeah, oh. 504 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: That would be super interesting, Mike, Like, really, that would 505 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: be like a cool book to read, and just the 506 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: setup and stuff that the idea that you have. 507 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 3: That's awesome, which is wild because of all the stuff 508 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 3: I've been thinking about writing, I never thought of starting 509 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: with that, and now that I talk about it, I'm like, 510 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 3: I think that would be the easiest thing for me 511 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: to start with, because I wan My goal this year 512 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 3: was to write more create stuff and what I was 513 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 3: better at in the past year. Of like I mentioned 514 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 3: how I journal my life in the last year. Anytime 515 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 3: I'd have any kind of idea for a movie or 516 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 3: a script or a short story, I have this big 517 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: wog of just all these small ideas that are titles 518 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 3: and quick little synopsis of anything I hear that I'm like, oh, 519 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 3: that could be a thing, I write it down. So 520 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: my idea was to go this year pick out some 521 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 3: of the best ones, which I've already kind of started 522 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 3: doing and fleshing them out a little bit. But that's 523 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 3: totally like fiction and a lot harder to write, which 524 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 3: I'm finding that it's hard to build a world, it's 525 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 3: hard to write dialogue and to write something that somebody 526 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: could take and turn into something else. So I think 527 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: now I kind of have two directions to go in 528 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 3: where I can't take some of the stuff I already 529 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 3: have and it's already written. 530 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. No, that's totally true. And doesn't it make you 531 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: think of like stan Lee who came up with all 532 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: the Marvel stuff and he was just like, how where 533 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: you know what? I mean? Like, this is wow that 534 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: people have the thoughts. But I think you sit down 535 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: long enough, I think some of that sets just starts 536 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: kind of flowing naturally. So I'm excited for you. 537 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 3: I think a lot of it is just observing and 538 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 3: being in tune with the things around you and hearing things. 539 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 3: A lot of the things I write down are things 540 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 3: we talk about on the show. Somebody will say a 541 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 3: concept or say something and I think that could be something, 542 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: and I write it down in the moment while we're 543 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 3: doing the show, and I'll come back to it later 544 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 3: and think about it more. Sometimes they're jokes, sometimes their 545 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 3: movie ideas. Sometimes they're just things that I think could 546 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 3: be a bit later. But I think it's just observing 547 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 3: the world around you and taking time to write it 548 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 3: down because that's the hardest thing of You can have 549 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 3: a great idea, but if you don't write it down, 550 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: you're not going to remember it. So I've just tried 551 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: to get into the process of even if it seems 552 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 3: like dumb, and even if I go back and look 553 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: and think like why did I even write that down, 554 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 3: just write it down because you never know what it 555 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 3: could turn into. 556 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, listen twenty twenty five for Mike d could 557 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: be a big year Japan writing a book. I mean, 558 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean the options are endless. 559 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 3: I would have eighteen hours on a flight. I could 560 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 3: definitely get some writing done. 561 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: You definitely could. Maybe that's why you have to go 562 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,239 Speaker 1: so you have to sit in a place and you 563 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: have to write for eighteen hours. 564 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 2: Good idea. 565 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: Oh, Michael, thanks for joining me, Thanks for taking time 566 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: on our little snow day situation, and for being here. 567 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: Tell the people where they can find you.
