Hi, I'm Chris.
And I'm Micah.
And this is the DonutBox podcast.
Well, buddy, it's been another great week, another great episode.
Hey, you had your plane trip.
How was that?
It was good, man.
It was good.
I got to nerd out and for all the plane nerds out there, you can go check out that video
here very soon on our YouTube channel.
So yeah, there's that.
Or if you're just plain curious, I went to Nebraska.
So for our listeners in Nebraska, I went to your state.
Yeah, a place called McCook, actually, Nebraska.
Have you ever heard of it?
No, I've never heard of it.
You were only there for like a couple of hours.
How did it look?
Was it very flat?
If you're familiar with Lubbock, Texas, it looks like Lubbock, Texas is in flat, but
instead of dirt, it's grass.
And so like it's just kind of just miles and miles of grass and cornfields.
In fact, it looked like at some points the plane was going to taxi off the end of the
taxiway and into a cornfield.
Backbone of America, Nebraska.
We have plenty of listeners in Nebraska and Ohio and Iowa and Florida and Canada up in
New York, Pennsylvania, California, Georgia.
Where else?
Oh, man, we've got Washington, Oregon overseas.
We've got Singapore.
We've got Germany.
Australia.
How bad was that Australian accent?
I don't know.
It was all right.
It was pretty decent.
Yeah, we've got our friends down on deck.
And, you know, we've got, I said Germany already, I think, but if not, we've got to
shout them out too.
Man, we've got folks up in the UK as well.
Ireland, we really appreciate it.
Man, it's awesome.
Great.
So let's get ready to jump into our show with our old fashioned donut, which is a story
from our past.
Back in Augusta, Georgia, we had a thing called a flea market.
Now for our international listeners, a flea market is a place where people like kind of
rent booths and they sell like not really used stuff.
But how would you describe a flea market to people that have never been?
I mean, it's just it's it's a market where everybody just kind of brings their stuff
to sell.
And depending on which ones you go to, you know, I've been to somewhere.
It's just kind of people, like individuals just going to sell their individual stuff.
And then I've seen it where it's like almost a full on business where these people are
like conducting a full, you know, storefront out of these places.
So it kind of varies in between there.
But yeah, it's just people selling stuff.
And I mean, you can find almost anything at a flea market, but no, it's not what it sounds
like.
You're not going there to shop for fleas.
No, not at all, man.
I just remember it being random stuff.
It's not like a traditional market, like probably in Europe where like you buy fruits and vegetables.
I mean, you can.
That's like the farmers market here.
But like people just sell goods and stuff.
And sometimes it's like cheap imported stuff.
Just know that like you're never going to get a lot of good quality things at the flea
market.
It's like more like going to it's like one big garage sale or one big like community
sale kind of.
Yeah.
It's like a community sale.
It's like Facebook marketplace all in one place.
And the original Facebook marketplace.
I went with Micah a few times, but Micah and his family actually had a shop there.
So you want to tell them a little bit about that?
Yeah.
So had a shop there, which helped out a little bit with like the main storefront as in what
I was talking about earlier.
But it was not a place called the red, what was that called the red?
It was called the barnyard.
Barnyard flea market.
That's what it was.
And I am not going to talk about how gimmicky the dang storefront.
My folks had where it was.
It was pretty bad.
It was pretty.
But anyways, where I started making some money was outside.
There was these tables, right?
So there was indoor area and that was of course more expensive.
Or you had just the regular tables like the outside tables and 10 bucks.
And you could just sell on this table.
And so man, that's what I did.
And it was kind of like my first job over there.
What you say?
Not like your first place that you were working for maybe, but like you were selling your
own stuff.
Your first place I actually made kind of money.
Your first source of income, I guess you could say.
I actually sold on your table, but you charged me a percentage to sell my stuff on your table.
Yeah, that was kind of a jerk thing to do.
I wasn't exactly, ladies and gentlemen of America and around the world, I wasn't exactly
always the best friend.
So you know, I really appreciate Chris for sticking with me.
I would charge you a percentage now.
Yeah, he charged me like 20% off of whatever.
I don't think it was like 50%.
It was probably like, yeah, it was like 20 to 30%, I think.
And you were like, yeah, or maybe it was 25.
I don't remember.
But I remember that I sold a lot.
And I think I sold more than you did that day because you just kept getting mad when
people would like not, not buy your stuff, but they were buying my stuff.
I don't even remember what I sold.
I know I sold some baseball stuff, but that's all I could remember.
It was some baseball, I think it was some of your, your catcher stuff.
If I'm not mistaken or something like that, I don't remember exactly.
But I'll tell you why I was probably charging a percentage at the time.
And that leads to the next point, the people of the flea market.
And so, man, there were some interesting people there.
One, we're going to call him Don.
Yeah, we referenced him in the, one of our first episodes, like episode 11 or
episode 10, I think it was, it was called in Graniteville.
Didn't we call him big news?
Yeah, Graniteville.
He was the one that we went on to go to that creepy house with and go on that
pick. Yeah, we talked about him briefly.
So this is the full story about Don, the, the cheapskate man.
Oh man, that dude was a cheapskate and a half.
So first and foremost, he kind of, I don't know how exactly you would describe it.
You know who, you know how I can describe it?
If you've seen Star Wars, right in the Phantom Menace, you know, Wato, the, the bug flying
dude, that is who Don was to this place.
Like he had three stores combined into one and it was the most random stuff, like big,
small junk.
Oh yeah.
Like, and I'm talking most of it.
Like he even tried to sell me some stuff.
I remember when I first started going out to the tables and selling the tables, he tried
to sell me all these bins worth of stuff.
He said, oh yeah, you know, I'll take a hundred bucks for him.
But you start looking through him and it was like broken children's toys and just like
just weird random, you know, broken items.
Most of them were broken and you're sitting here gone.
I'm not going to spend a hundred bucks on a bunch of broken stuff, but he would try to
pass you on like, hey, why don't you, why don't you come buy this for a hundred bucks?
He was a con man.
I feel like he was a con man.
Oh, he was big snake oil con man type guy.
Oh yeah.
I'm not sure I can't confirm it or not.
I'm pretty sure he was maybe on drugs and he was trying to support his habit.
I feel like that's what it was.
He was, he was definitely on drugs.
This is okay.
This is the expo.
No, no, no, he, yeah, it was just, it was weird man.
It was, it was, he was an interested fella.
I just remember he had a big old nose and the thing was he, here's another thing that would
happen, right?
He would play on your good nature.
So he knew Chris and I most of the time, he'd be like, hey, do me a favor, go.
I remember there was one time he was like, can you run this
something to this other vendor that was like across the way, right?
Sure.
So we go over there and do that, go back to him and he's like, okay, I'm going to buy you a soda.
We were just like, oh, that's okay.
And he was just like, oh, all right, fine.
So just because he knew like, oh yeah, or like he wouldn't even offer most of the time because
he just, he knew that he would always just try to get out of stuff like that.
I'll tell you who he reminds me of, but I'll tell you after the podcast because I'm not
going to go on the record to tell you right here who he reminds me of.
But I'll tell you after the podcast, but yeah, he was just a shady guy, a real shady dude.
You, you bought a pair of spurs at the flea market, didn't you want to tell him about that?
Yeah, I did.
So you got to also think too, this was like Western where in the Georgia area was or the
Augusta area was not very prevalent. Like there was a place over in Thompson, but it was like
really small. And I just remember this dude came over and had like all these custom spurs and
yeah, I was like, yeah, I want to buy one from, from them.
And they weren't bad. They're like 40 bucks if I remember.
You know what's funny?
Recently, I just bought those spurs off of Micah and gave them to my mother-in-law as a gift
because she likes using them as decoration. So that's where those spurs are now, like 12 years
later and my mother-in-law's house. You know, I'm glad they found a good home.
I'm glad they found a good home.
You want to tell them about that Middle Eastern man that got into it with his wife?
That got into it with his wife?
That was, that was great. So he, now he was definitely a snake oil salesman.
And I don't think he was Middle Eastern. I think he's from the Middle East.
He's from India. I don't, I'm not sure though. I have no clue, you know, there's no tellings.
But he had this table. It was kind of weird. It was like in the middle of an aisle almost.
And he was the only one that kind of had that. And he sold like China, like Chinese made knives
and like really cheap, like cutlery sets. Like I'm talking like super cheap.
Like you can buy a full cutlery set for like 20 bucks.
And so anyways, there were several times, man, he had this, he had this wife and he always made
her walk behind him. And Chris and I were sitting there one time in the car. And because a lot of
times what would happen is we would go to this, they had like a food place over there. It was
pretty good. I had like burgers and stuff. And we would get lunch. And of course we would like
sit in the car, eat and we watched, we watched this happen. And unfortunately,
the guy that we're talking about stops and his poor wife wasn't paying attention and like runs
into the back of them and man, she got scolded. Like what I tell you about walking behind me and
all this stuff. Oh, it was bad. Oh, I thought he hit her. Did he hit her? I don't think he put
hands on her, but I don't think he hit her. Not like hit with the clothes, but I feel like he
slapped her. I thought he did. I don't know, man. I remember he started on that one. I just
remember it was one of those things we were like, ooh, that was interesting. Yeah. Before you started
working there and stuff, we went there a couple of times and I remember that I was going to buy
when I first was starting to shave, like buy an electric razor from there. And my dad was like,
no, because he knew that it was going to break in probably two days. And he was like, no,
I actually go to the store and get you one. But then we bought my mom like some because there
were a lot of like Asian people there and they had like those little water fountain things that
you could take home. Do you remember, you know what I'm talking about? Oh man. No, no, no. Yes,
I do. I got to tell them about this one too. Do you remember, are you talking about the Asian stand
that it was like four and one and they had built almost like a makeshift like back into it out of
like PVC and tarps? And I mean, it was everything was on the floor. And I mean, it was not even a
dollar. Most of it was like 25 cents. It was like the cheapest stuff you could possibly imagine.
And I remember, I remember my parents bought batteries from there and like they maybe lasted
a day, like the batteries of Pista. It was always the worst crap. Yep. Yeah. We bought my mom like
a water fountain thing for like her birthday or something. And it broke like within probably
a couple of weeks. And so we were just like, yeah, I remember those little water fountains. Like they
had them hanging on the wall and stuff. Yeah. But I will say though that barnyard as far as flea
markets go, it was actually a pretty nice. It was pretty nice. Yeah. Like usually flea markets are
pretty run down and there's a lot of sketchy people and always selling bootleg DVDs. And if you
don't know what bootleg DVDs are, that's when people go into the movie theaters and they record it on
camera, like with a video camera. This is before streaming now. Like if you have the streaming
service, it's pretty easy for you to get movies, but people would go and record the movie in the
movie theater with a video camera and then sell it before the movie actually came out on a DVD.
So that's actually how I watched Revenge of the Sith a couple of times. Like after I saw it in the
movie theater and then I was like, oh man, I can't wait until the movie came, movie comes out on DVD
and someone apparently had a bootleg copy and I watched it. It was still pretty good. Hey,
you know, you got to do what you got to do. That's pretty, that's pretty nice. I got to end it on
another note here. One of the cool parts about it or one of the fun parts about it was when the
Crown Vic boys would roll up. You remember? Oh yeah. We got to tell about the Crown Vic boys.
Yeah, we can't leave it off without talking about the Crown Vic boys. So the Crown Vic boys was
exactly what it sounds. It was, they were all in Crown Victoria's, like the four Crown Victorias,
and they were all on 26s, like big rims. 26 inch rims. Yeah. And they were, you know, at the time,
like early on at the time, it was spinners. And then later on, the spinners changed to just regular
rims. But they would always have the Lambo doors, like the doors that always pop upwards. And it
was always like a big entrance whenever they would show up. And whatever reason, like they would come
there almost every weekend. Like they would just roll up on there every weekend. Yeah. And they
traveled together. There was like four or five of them or like four to six of them. And they like
traveling to get, so they like traveled as like a, like a crew. And that was like in the big era of
where having your car tricked out was like super cool. And so like they would ride up with like
blaring rap music. And so they were like a thing. It was pretty cool. It was a whole, it was a whole
entrance. Like everybody would stop and look at them. That's for sure. But yeah, even, even them
riding around town, they would be riding together. Like it was, it was interesting. Yeah. You could,
you could look in town and know where the Crown Vic boys were. That was pretty cool. I forgot about
though, them. Yeah. The Crown Vic boys. And then last but not least, some of the weird things we saw
on there. I remember there was, do you remember the zebra that came up there? They brought a,
were you there? I wasn't there for that. Oh, I think that was, oh boy, that was with, okay.
Anyways, but yeah, they pulled up with a zebra and I thought, okay, it's just a horse. But apparently
somebody had bought a zebra and they went and was shopping at the flea market. Of course,
that drew a lot of attention, right? I mean, zebra in the parking lot. Crazy stuff at the
flea market, man. Crazy stuff. We're going to move into the next segment and it's not the
Jaleigh donut this week. It's you're fired. You're fired. Oh, we're going to talk about people getting
fired, huh? But it's going to be interesting how they got fired or the dumbest reasons why they
got fired. So you ready for you fired? You're fired. Yes. I still want to find the Donald Trump
clip that says you're fired. Maybe I can record it. This one says this lady clocked in one minute
late at the Red Lobster. It was Easter Sunday and she had to fight her way through an army of pastel
hat wearing Karen's. That's funny to even get in the doors. So basically she's saying it was very
packed. The manager told me that they would let her finish her shift, but that was it. And then
so she was basically being told that the end of the shift she was going to get fired. So she said
that she just walked out and considered herself fired. She says, I may or may not have liberated
a lobster from the lobster tank on the way out and yelled, he's coming out with me and then
it left one minute late. I mean, but it is Easter Sunday though. It's like a busy day and you're
like one minute late. Here's the thing. You work and maybe the manager would like forget about it.
You know what I mean? Here's my thing. Is that the full story? Because I've worked in retail. I've
worked in other places too. And sometimes what will happen is somebody has a history of being late,
history of being late. And it's just like, listen, it's Easter Sunday. I need you here 15 minutes
early. Like I like need you here even early that day. And it's like, so she shows up a minute late
or he shows up a minute late. And it's like nine oh one or whatever, you know, it's, it's like, okay,
I normally told you 15 minutes before, but I've told you in the past, like you never know. But
if it is just on the one minute thing, yeah, they tripped. Yeah, like you said, we don't know the
whole story. And that's how it is with a lot of these like, oh, we don't know the whole story. So
keep that in mind. All right, this next one, this person said, I got fired from my first ever job
as a counselor and training at the summer day camp that I went to every year as a kid. This person
was given the 67 year old group. And one of them asked if this person had a girlfriend. And the
girls are gross. Why would I ever do something like that sort of way? He was just like, oh, yeah,
of course I have a girlfriend, but girls are gross kind of a thing. Then the kid asked him if
he had ever kissed his girlfriend. And he said yes. And the kid was like, you gross. And then
everybody laughed about it. And the counselor was like, Oh, okay, that's all of it. Well, I guess
the kid went home and told his mom that night. And the lady freaked out. And she demanded that the
counselor be fired for teaching her child about sex and giving details of the counselor sex life to
her child. The guy was 13 at the time when this happened. He said, all I said was that I kissed
a girl and the camp fired him right then and there. So I could understand if it was like an adult,
but this kid was like 13. So of course at 13, you were like, yeah, of course I have a girlfriend.
Of course I kissed her. And it's not like he was like, Oh, and here's what we did. And it was like
all graphic or nothing. I mean, honestly, it just sounded like he just said, you know, like, Oh,
yeah, we kissed. That's it. I can guarantee you if you hang out with any kid for any amount of time,
they're going to ask if you're married or if you have kids. I promise you it may be even like within
the first like 10 minutes kids ask that stuff all the time. Kids are nosy. That's what they are.
They know he is messed up. I ask you everything about your life. They'll interrogate the mess out
of you. All right, next one. This person got a mid level position at the company where this company
apparently boasted at how family oriented they are. He said this is the kind of company that has
a small arcade, a pup putt and ping pong table at the office and it encouraged people to relax
and play with them. After a month of being there, this person decided to play with some co workers
and ping pong since they're pretty decent at it. The owner and his son ended up walking through
the doors and they challenged this guy to a ping pong match. This guy says he played the sun and
absolutely demolished him. The sun got extremely upset and walked away after throwing the paddle at
the guy. Later that week, he was fired for not fitting in the culture. What are you supposed
to do? Let him win? I mean, but maybe like not demolish him. You know what I mean? It's like the
owner son, but at the same time, it's like that sounds pretty stereotypical. Again, we also don't
know the full story. Like, did he was he like a was he a bad winner? You know, boom in your face.
It's just like you may own the company, but I own you stuff like that. All right, you're buying.
All right, two more. This person got fired from a McDonald's for asking too many customers how
their day was going. Not because it slowed anything down. Mind you, I only did when it was slow. They
put in complaints to corporate that I was being invasive. The first time I thought my manager
was making a joke. So did the customers say that they were being invasive or did the co-workers
say that they were being because maybe they were being a little invasive? If you got complaints
about it, no one puts complaints about someone that's saying, oh, how's your day going? Yeah,
maybe he's asking some weird out of bounds questions. Like, I mean, that's my thing. Have you seen
that little video short about the my country buffet in the 90s where it's like, how's your day going?
And it's like the guy at the buffet asking really weird questions. Maybe it was something like that.
Yeah, maybe it was the delivery. I don't know. Some people are really weird about the questions they
ask. So yeah. All right, last one. And I think you're going to get a good kick out of this because
this reminds me of caveman. The boss didn't know how to use a measuring tape. And they, yeah.
And apparently the boss fired some fire this person for cutting the lumber to the wrong size,
quote unquote, to his measurements. So it was like the boss didn't know how to use the tape
measure and he got fired for cutting it to the wrong size. That sounds like caveman, doesn't it?
Yes, it does. In fact, they didn't let that dude measure anything. I'll just let you know that
they didn't let him measure anything or cut anything. He was a porter and a, you know,
he like screwed things into place. That's what they did with him. They made sure that he did
task. He couldn't mess up. It's like, okay, it's like when Dwight is a quote unquote, steering
the ship on the booze cruise. It's like you make a thing. He's doing something, but he's really
not. It's like you're a senior member. You've been here a long time and really he's not doing
he's not doing any of the important work. Well, that's it. Well, we're going to move right into
our next segment, which is, you know, we like to play games and you know, we like to do quizzes.
So I got a quiz for you. Oh man. What's the quiz this week? The quiz is animated movies. So not
just Disney movies, but Dreamworks movies as well. And don't worry. I didn't ask any questions about
any movies that you haven't seen. So like none of the new stuff, because I know you haven't seen
any of the new stuff. So most of these questions are about movies that you probably have seen.
I recently saw one on Disney. It was called Elemental. It was actually pretty good.
Surprisingly. But are you ready for our quiz? Yeah. What was the last movie that the person Walt
Disney made while he was alive? A. The Ristakats. B. Peter Pan. C. The Jungle Book. Or D. Robin Hood.
You know, that's a good question. I don't know why, but I want to say it now. It can't be a close
to the old. Walt is still alive. Yeah. Like the last one that he made before he died. Or was
cryogenically frozen. Yeah. That's a joke. Let's go Jungle Book. That is actually correct. He died
in the middle of, passed away in the middle of making that film. So pretty good. What was Dreamworks
first animated film? So Dreamworks, people from Disney actually left Disney and they went to go
start Dreamworks. What was their first animated film? A. The Prince of Egypt. B. Ants. C. Chicken Run.
Or D. Shrek. It wasn't Shrek. Was it Prince of Egypt? Hold on.
And. The little ants. Which one came first? I feel like it was, you don't know whether it was, but it's
the one that came first that. I'm going to go with Prince of Egypt. Man, that's the one I thought it
was at first too, but it's actually ants. And the tricky thing about that is, is that ants came out
like two or three months right before Prince of Egypt. That's what I thought because I was like,
it's all kind of right there at the same time. Beauty of the Beast takes place in what country?
A. Germany. D. England. C. Scotland. Or D. France. It's France. That is correct. Good job.
All right. Next one. Which Dreamworks movie was inspired by the movie The Great Escape?
A. Chicken Run. B. The Road to El Dorado. C. The Little Mermaid. Or D. Ants. I'm going to do Chicken Run.
Yeah. Have you actually seen Chicken Run? Yeah. I've seen Chicken Run. I'll tell you what. I didn't
mind Chicken Run, but I remember then we had to watch like, have you ever seen Wallace and Gromit?
It was like the same creators that. Yeah. I'm not a fan of that Wallace and Gromit. I wasn't either.
And so, but Chicken Run was kind of the only thing in that segment that I liked, if that makes
sense. Kind of that claymation style. Wallace and Gromit is like more British humor. And I feel like
with Chicken Run, they at least do have some of the American humor because the main guy is American.
So, I don't know. All right. Which Disney animated movie saved Walt Disney Studios from financial
ruin in the 1980s? A. The Aristocats. B. The Great Mouse Detective. C. Robin Hood. Or D. The Rescuers.
Robin Hood? No. It's actually The Great Mouse Detective. So, yeah. Disney, Walt Disney was
tanking like really bad in the 80s. Was The Great Mouse Detective. Help you save it. Turn
around. Have you seen The Great Mouse Detective? Remind me what it's about. Maybe. I've seen so
many movies that have mouse license. It's basically Sherlock Holmes, but he's a mouse. And he has to
go help save this girl's, this girl's father who got captured by Rattigan, the big old rat. Oh,
yeah. No, I do remember that. I've not thought about that in years. Yeah, that's, dang, okay. You
unlocked a bit of memory there. I probably haven't seen that since I was probably like
44 years old. But yes, I have seen that. I unlocked a core memory for you. The Great
Mouse Detective. Yes. Live on the podcast. There you go. That's what I'm here for. That's why I'm
your friend. Val Kilmer. Sorry. Val Kilmer played the lead role in which Dreamworks movie. A. Shrek.
D. Ants. C. The Road to El Dorado. Or D. The Prince of Egypt. Oh man. Wasn't it The Road to El Dorado?
It's actually The Prince of Egypt. Oh man. Okay. Val Kilmer was Moses. Was he really? Yes,
that's who's in it. He's the voice of Moses. That movie, I'm telling you, that movie has one of the
best soundtracks ever. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. It's so good. And as all-star cast, it's got Ralph
Phineas and Michelle Piper and Jeff Coldbloom, Sandra Bullock. It's that. Yeah, it's got everybody in there.
Number seven. Which 90s Disney movie started the tradition of featuring a major comedian in its
animated movies? A. The Little Mermaid. B. Beauty and the Beast. C. Aladdin. Or D. The Lion King.
Trying to think of the timelines here. That's the hard part is it's like, you know, you think about
all the different movies and you're like, it just depends on which. Because I want to say Lion King.
It's actually Aladdin. So Aladdin with Robin Williams, he started the trend. And now if you look at
the Disney movies, there's a major comedian and almost every one of them from that point on. This
one's going to be hard, maybe a little bit, because I've only seen the first one. How many Shrek movies
are there total? How many do they make? A. Three. I might actually get this right. B. Five. C. Six.
Or D. Four. Now are we counting the... We're not counting like the Puss in Boots. We're just talking
about strictly Shrek. Because Puss in Boots is like its own spin-off movie. I'm going to go with
two to five or six. Because anyways, I'm going to go five. It's actually four. I thought there was
more than that. It's actually four. There must have been some other side movies. Because I thought...
I thought there was more than that. I thought there was a fifth one. Yeah, I think there's some more
side movies for sure. Maybe that's what it is. All right. Because wasn't there like Shrek happily
ever after or whatever? I thought that was a fourth one. I don't know. Too many. They went to the...
They went for the money pod a little too many times. Number nine. Who voices Hades in Disney's
Hercules? Who's the voice of Hades? A. Billy Crystal. B. James Woods. C. Gilbert Godfrey.
Or D. Jerry Seinfeld. Is it James Woods? James Woods. Yep. It is James Woods. That's actually
the only movie that I like James Woods in. I think Family Guy turned me off of James Woods.
I hate James Woods because of Family Guy. I think that's the only reason I don't like James Woods.
I'm kind of the same way. All right. Number 10. Last one. Phil Collins did the soundtrack for which
animated movie? A. Toy Story. B. Tarzan. C. Lion King. Or Defining Nemo. It was Tarzan, which I will
say this. That was a good soundtrack too. Phil Collins did a good job on that. That was a good
soundtrack. Do you remember our little friend Zacharotea Cheese? Whenever he was sad, he was
singing that song from Tarzan. You'll be in my heart. Yes. Yes, I do. I don't know why, but that
always makes me think of it. Tarzan the movie was like, okay, the soundtrack is like, I feel like
it's way better. Yeah. But then again, Phil Collins is just, he's pretty good. Yes, sir. All right.
That was pretty good. See, you knew a lot more than you thought you did. Yeah. Yeah. You're right.
I knew most of the movie. Yeah. I guess every movie that we talked about, I had seen. Yeah. I tried
not to make it too hard for you, but we're going to move into our next segment, which is, What
Fries My Donuts? Micah. What's got you going, buddy? Oh, so this one's kind of a media one, but
man, I can't stand watching people follow the toxic traps over and over and over again. That's why
I like to stay off of social media because, you know, you'd be, sometimes you'd be watching people's
life unfold in front of their face, you know, and some of it, can you give me an example?
Yeah. So it's like, say, say somebody, say it's a lady gets divorced from this really awful husband
figure and post all this stuff. And it's just like, he was terrible to me and my kid and bloody,
bloody, bloody, and next thing you know, it's like some time passes and then they're back together
and you're sitting here going, hold on. Why don't we just keep on going back to that? And you can
tell it's not a good thing. Like you could tell in the pictures in the post, you could tell it
ain't no good thing that they ain't happy with nothing that they can't stand in life. So why
do it over and over again? Go out there and find you, you know, you dude or your lady or, you know,
find a better situation for yourself. Whatever the case may be, whether that's work or whether that's
school or, you know, if it's a lot of times we just keep on putting ourselves through this stuff
over and over again, even though we're uncomfortable and unhappy with it. Now, that's not to say that
if you're uncomfortable with everything, you should just change it or quit it. But what I'm saying is,
you know, if there's something that's bad for you, if that dude or that woman is not good for you,
don't just keep on going back to it. Look for something else, you know, you know, keep, if
you keep doing something and expectation of a different result, that's insanity. Don't be insane.
Does this hit a little really close to home for you? Maybe a little bit, but, but, hey, and I will
say this as a person that has gone through that, what's very important is if you are finding yourself
in that cycle is to not get isolated from your support system and your friends because your
friends nine times out of 10, they see it and they're saying, don't do it. Don't do it. But what
do we do? We don't listen to them. I mean, Micah has told me millions of times, don't do it. It's
not a good idea. I don't listen, right? Luckily, thank God, you know, that I have a friend like
Micah, a good support system. But yeah, man, it is hard sometimes, but at the same time, it's like,
I don't like people that complain about it, but don't do anything about it. That's what I don't
like. Well, and that's, that's, I guess that's the biggest thing that I'm saying to like, you know,
and a lot of the times you see it on social media, like I said, where they'll post something and it's
just like, Oh, I made it out of an abusive situation or I made it out of, you know, whatever
situation. And then you look and you're like, so you brought you and I'm not trying to judge anybody
because I don't know anybody situation. But at the same time, you're looking on the outside end
going, I don't know, a few weeks ago, it was a very dire and terrible situation where you just
being dramatic. Or was it actually a really bad situation? If so, why the heck are you back?
Like figure out some other way. If it's truly something that's bad, I don't know. It's just
it's really hard for me to feel bad if you're going to complain. And, you know,
like Chris said, not really do anything about it or just keep putting yourself in the same situation
over again. Yeah, exactly. It's like what Kat Williams said. If you 25 and you still posted
that men ain't nothing or that women are all dogs, it's like, no, all the men you mess with
are dogs. It's like, all men ain't dogs. It's all the men that you mess with. It's like, maybe you
need to take a look at yourself. That keeps you, what's what's making you keep attracted to these
these losers and these bumps. I'm not going to quote it word for word. You can go watch a special
because he says some things that I can't say on family. But he puts his point across. I'm like,
yeah, don't be complaining. Oh man, all men are dogs. Oh man, men are worthless. It's like, no,
all the men you mess with. But then again, here's what here's what gets all my sorry, this one gets
all my nerves. You all want to be complaining about it. But then when you got a good nice guy,
you'd be like, Oh yeah, he was nice and he was good, but he not husband energy. I'm like,
he's a nice guy. He treats you nice. He doesn't call you fat. Like what's wrong with them? It's
because they don't want that. It's because they got that anyways, we can go all in on that one
before you segue into it. You know what this brought up to me? This brought up to me when we
used to say, I've been noticing something about you a trend if you will. If you will. We used to
say that all the time. We would be like, I've been noticing something about you a trend if you
will. That was like our catchphrase for the longest time. We're just unlocking core memories today.
I don't know what it is, but it's working. So but yeah, it's, I don't know that's such as it makes
you real upset. It just it's just like, man, I don't understand why you'd be doing that. But
it is what it is. I mean, you can't live people's lives for them. But at the same time, just I'm
just asking you on behalf of us, just don't be insane out there. Don't keep going back expecting
somebody to change or a situation to change when you know what it is. Because if you know what it
is, it is what it is. So nothing's going to change. Yep. I can say a lot more, but I'm not going.
It's like we can make a whole episode on just that topic right there. Shall we go to the improv
segment? I think we shall. Reginald. Oh, right. It's a fail field. Random random story. Lubbock
airport one time. I had to drive these pilots and flight attendants over to the plane that was
waiting for them. And for whatever reason, they were like, we're going to call you Reginald,
and you're going to be our chauffeur. And the whole entire time they were like, Reginald. And
I don't know, that was an interesting time. That would get on my nerves. Oh, it kind of did. But
I mean, it was a car full of flight attendant. So I kind of wasn't upset about it. Classic 18 year
old Micah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, again, lock unlocking core memories. So let's do our improv
segment or our mystery. And what are we going to do? We are going to do the randomize. Okay,
let's go. Let's pick three things. A profession, setting and a mood. Okay. So what we're going to
do is I'm going to do a profession in a location doing something. That's what we're going to do.
So the profession is an architect. Okay, I can get with that. And the architect is on a private
island doing the dishes doing the dishes on a private island. Okay, well, that works. I guess
architects are boring. All right. So yeah, we can go for it. You want to start or you want me to
start? You can start. Well, let me say this. I just finished the new building at 43 West Avenue
in New York Center. Have you seen? Have you seen it looks like a shard of glass? Oh, Reginald,
Reginald Fairfield. Do you see the architectural structure of this hair BNB? It reminds me quite
of the Spanish Aztec design that I that I designed back in Phoenix, Arizona. Now that you pulled
out your British accent, I got to do it too. I have seen and one time I shall say is it was
not too good. Last I would like to point out is the angles are just not what you would think an
angle for that kind of building would be. Reginald, could you please hand me the dish soap so that I
can wash these dishes? Well, now you have kind of a cockney thing going on. Oh, Reginald, if I had
asked you to analyze my accent, you wouldn't be an architect, would you? You would have gone to school
for something else. Did I ask for you to be a linguist? No, I didn't. Now please hand me the
bloody dish soap so that I can wash these bloody dishes. I will say this. Being an architect can
be a little hard, a little hard and deep. Because the thing is it makes you want to drink that.
Oh, Reginald, could you please open up the rubbish can so that I may scrape off these eggs into the
rubbish? That's something I never understood. Why everybody says rubbish. Why rubbish? It is just
poor taste. Now, Reginald, you're a bloody Brit, aren't you? You wanker? Please hand me the dishes
so that I can scrape off these eggs off onto the plate. I very much would not like egg residue
while I'm trying to eat my fishing cheat. Who's an alien, bloody wanker? You could have called me a wanker.
Oh, Reginald, do you think that this air BNP is structurally sound? I never saw crack over there
in the living room. Oh, well, I'll just say this. Would you like a spot of tea? Ah, yes,
mighty good, my chap. I would most well enjoy a glass of tea. Oh, get it yourself, you bloody wanker.
Last time I get you, bloody tea. I'm going to put these dishes away and I'm going out for a nice
stroll on the beach. I shall see you at second breakfast. Yeah, I'll see you too, bloody wanker.
That was our improv segment. I don't, I love how they just kept evolving and changing over the time,
man. I don't know. I don't know why. Why am I mind? I thought an architect was going to be British.
Yeah, I don't know, but you cracked out the British accent. I had to crack mine out.
And then next thing you know, it just kept changing. And listen, you know, sometimes the
Cogni has to come out a little bit. Sometimes you have to call it to the bloody wankers.
We'll see. We'll see. They're, uh, they're from a certain part of Britain that they're from,
not from London. They're not refined. So sometimes the Cogni accent comes out every now and then.
You know, you got to, it's kind of like, it's kind of like me and Chris. It's like we come from
Southern humble beginnings, but you don't want to let that thing out. You know what I mean?
You don't want to let it off the loose off the chain. You can if you want, but you don't want to.
Yep. There's a whole bunch of accents that always come out for me because I'm always
doing voices or characters or whatever. But, uh, you know, it's all good. My wife sometimes gets
upset about it. Not really upset, but she just is like kind of rolls her eyes and she just puts
up with it. But I have to remind her. I'm like, you know, how many times do you think Andy Serkis
did the smiggle voice in front of his wife? You know, like the smiggle voice had to come out of
somewhere and I'm pretty sure his wife maybe got annoyed with it. But you just have to, you know,
because that's a pretty creepy voice. Oh yeah, it is. Okay. So we're going to divulge before the
Eclare. What is the one that your wife does not like the absolute most? Uh, do you want me to
do it here on the podcast? Yeah, like do the voice? Sure. Go for it. Hey there, buddy. This is your
friend, Chuckles. It's time to come out and play. She doesn't like Chuckles. Yeah. I, you know,
I get that. Um, apparently my wife, she doesn't like one thing in particular and it's my evil
witch laugh. Like sometimes or I'll, oh yeah, I do that too. Do it. You sound like a freaking flying
monkey. That's what you sound like. He's a flying monkey. All right, we got to move into our Eclare.
No, stop. Let's stop monkeying around and uh, move into our flying monkey. Yeah, we're going to
move into our Eclare, which is our positive advice and uh, Micah, I think it's your turn to go first.
I don't remember who went first last week, but take it away. Yeah, it doesn't matter. All right, so
my Eclare this week is, uh, it's a little bit about reflecting on your past and seeing how far you come.
You know, sometimes a lot of people say, you know, don't reflect on your past too much,
but it's good to reflect and see where you've come from. Um, so I was talking to a coworker of mine
the other day and have you ever met somebody who is, uh, not from the, you know, they're not from
the United States, um, or maybe they're from a part of the United States that isn't really, uh,
affluent and is a little impoverished. And, uh, you know, I was talking to her and she was just so
grateful. She was just so grateful to be alive. She was just so grateful to have this job. And,
you know, it was interesting because you could tell when people are just kind of blowing smoke or
just saying something just to kind of say it and you're like, okay, sure, whatever. Right. But then
this person, there that one in a few, you know, she was going on and on in the meeting about
how, you know, this job really helped her, uh, in her time of need because she just was in a
really down and out situation. And if it wasn't for the job, uh, helping her get up day to day,
you know, it, you know, no tellings where she would be. And she was talking about where she
came from and, you know, the fact that she didn't have like hot water and things like that. And,
you know, just some of these luxuries that we take for granted every day, she didn't have those
things. And she was just, again, she was just so grateful of like, man, it's so great that I get to
live here and we have all these luxuries. I could order food at my fingertips and have it here at
my house in just a few minutes. Like I have the opportunity to go to work and make money and make
good money, you know, if I want to or have a choice in what job that I have. And, you know,
it was just, it's just amazing. Um, and, you know, we all, you know, maybe it's not to that extent,
but we all have things that we've come out of, right? We've all had things that we've looked into
and, or, you know, we can look back in and say, man, I came a long way since that point, right.
And so this Eclare is dedicated to those who's come through a lot, but you're on the other side of it.
And, you know, man, you've done good. Now you get to look back and see all the benefits that,
you know, you've reaped over the time. Like Drake said, started from the bottom. Now we're here.
Now you're right, man, because we really do forget all that we've been blessed with, especially here
in America, man. And I know I'm guilty of that. So yeah, remember where you came from for sure.
My name is, man, just be a trustworthy person. You know, there is nothing bigger
that breaks down trust is if you're not pulling your weight. When you're not being honest with
people, when you don't do what you say you're going to do, when you don't show up to work on time,
or you don't even pull your weight, man, like that breaks down trust. And like trust is a big deal with,
you know, people in your relationships, people in life. So just be a person of your word. You know,
the Bible says, let your yes be yes and let your no be no. So that means like, don't tell people
you're going to do something and then don't do it. So just make sure that you are honoring your
commitments, honoring your word, doing all that good stuff, because that's how you help build
trust with people. And so trust is, you know, it takes a long time to build, but it can be easily
broken in a minute. So, but yeah, just be a trustworthy person. So that's all I got.
Absolutely, man. All right, then I'm going to plug all the good stuff. So tvtrashcan.com,

it was. It was a great time. We are so excited for all that's coming up, man. This is our last
podcast episode for the month of September. And then we're going to move into October.
I love October. We are creeping up on that 100th episode, man. I can't believe it's almost here.
We got like four more and we're there. And you know what? Then shortly thereafter,
we're going to be at starting season three, which will mean we've hit two years.
Two years, man. Like right around the Thanksgiving mark. That's when we're going to hit.
It's pretty crazy. We're creeping up on that mark. We're creeping up on that mark. So we'll
have a special episode for you then as well for the 100th and coming up for starting or ending
season two and starting season three. Of course, you know, we're going to have to. Yeah, it's going
