Trash can presents taking off from work now. I am so sorry to inform you guys, but
Looks like you guys are gonna be doing having to do some extra work this weekend because our friend Micah is not a team player
He decided that he wanted to take a whole week off of vacation next week
So it looks like you guys are gonna be working
overtime, but the company offers
Seven days of paid time off. I was just taking the paid time off. That's given
I don't really understand like we also booked this vacation a year in advance
It also happens to be my honeymoon. I just got married
And this is the first first vacation I've taken in years actually well listen Micah
I wish you would be more like stew who has never taken a vacation off. Is he burnt out?
Yes, and that's why I have not hired any more people because I know that stew never takes a vacation
Did you resubmit a recall approval request? Yes, you did
I mean good for stew and I mean I understand that he hasn't seen his family for ages and
Besides like at night and you know maybe on Christmas and I know he like missed like some birth of his kids and stuff
But you know, that's not really my thing. I like my wife and you know, I want to go to Bora Bora
I mean we put the tickets. I can't just like go back on that
Well, it sounds like Micah that you're putting that family over your actual family here at
United Tech
We are a family and if you can't understand that you know what go ahead take the vacation off take the week off
I know that's included in your contract and while you're at it
Just go ahead and take off more time because you're unemployed. This isn't a right to work state
So it's gonna be hard to fight this but I guess I'll take my vacation and have to apply elsewhere later
but yeah, at least I know that you would stew suck and
I'm out of here. So you're lucky. I'm not flipping you off right now
I'm Chris and I'm Micah and this is the order box podcast
Well, buddy you just got back from a big important trip. It's been great. It's been fun. We are winding down
Season two man, and we got I think we got this episode and I think one more right till we hit the next season
And then we hit the next season. It's gonna be crazy season three. I you know, I know we talk about it almost every week
But it's just I don't know it's still mind-blowing to me every stinking week, too
It's gonna be the dark side. No, I'm just kidding
It's not gonna be the dark side of doughnut box, but yeah, welcome to all of our listeners
Season three dark scenes. No, I'm joking. But yeah, welcome to all
Not talking about dark. Well, you know, it was interesting the place that I was visiting
It got dark at like four o'clock in the afternoon
This time of year and that was very very weird. Just just a side note
For those of you living in the Northeast region of our country
There's very little daylight this time of year found that out
It's you know, sun comes up at like seven eight in the morning and it goes down at four
There's the rest of time. It's dark speaking of all our listeners
We want to welcome those that are listening returning listeners. Thank you to all of our listeners in Europe and Africa
Over in the Middle East in Australia Asia, Florida Georgia, Texas
Where else we got people listening from, you know, I just said the Northeast so I got a shout out some of those states Pennsylvania New Jersey, New York
You know, Massachusetts was one of them if you go a little South Virginia
Maryland, you know, you guys have really been cranking it out all through the South Florida. We didn't include them
Man, it's it's really awesome. I mean Kansas, Iowa Midwest too. It's it's it's awesome, man
It seems like every time we're looking we got new locations and some of these places
I've never heard of you guys are really teaching me some geography. I'm not gonna lie to you
Well, yeah, let's go ahead and jump into our first segment, which is the old-fashioned doughnut
So why could you want to go ahead and jump in? Yeah, let's do it. So today we're gonna time somewhat talk about
Just some different experiences that we had and Chris earlier this year speaking of trips
I heard that you went to Orlando on your honey abode kind of what we did in the intro too to kind of talked about that
But hey, what how was Orlando man? Orlando was great. It was a great time. I often think about it
A lot. I'm always telling my wife
I'm like, hey, you want to go back to Universal Studios
We went back to we went to Universal Studios
My wife had been there and I've been there but I hadn't been there in like 10 years and the last time that I went
I never got to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
So it was actually kind of cool to go to that place. So it was a fun time and then we went to Daytona Beach for
for a day
But it was a fun time. I really enjoyed it. Yeah, absolutely. Would there be anything so I definitely know you went to Universal
Is there anything within Universal you would definitely recommend by any of the listeners if they're going there?
It's like, yeah, you definitely have to do this. This is a must
Yes, you definitely have to get yourself a butter beer frozen at one of the places in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
You also need to ride Hagrid's magical adventure
It was a really probably one of my favorite rides
But it is the most popular ride probably in the park and you need to get there either really really early if you're staying at one
Of the resorts you actually get to get into that part of the park an hour early. So take advantage of that
But if not kind of go it like towards the middle of the day because most people try to do that first
So it gets kind of busy
But I would definitely recommend getting there really early in the morning when the ride first opens so that you can go ahead and ride
that ride and
Go ahead and knock it off your list because it is a pretty popular ride
We also got to ride the Spiderman ride like four times and that was pretty fun. That's like a no-weight ride
Make sure if you're gonna ride the water rides
Make sure you ride those at the end of the day because I
Made the mistake of accidentally taking my wife on one of the rides
I convinced her that we were not gonna get that wet on the rides and oh boy, that's always how it works
It's always how it works. It's you'll say oh no, no, no, that's not gonna happen and the next thing you know, bam
It's you get you like go up against the waterfall and it like stops under the waterfall or something
Oh, yeah, that's definitely what happened to us
I didn't think we were gonna get that wet on the rides, but it turned out we went under every waterfall
Just happened that way and my wife was not so happy, but uh, but yeah, it was fun
There were some great restaurants that we ate at we actually spent three days there. So if you can spend three days there
It's definitely worth it so that you can go back and ride more of what you want to ride
But you guys went to Florida you didn't go to Orlando, but you definitely went to Florida
tell me about Florida and your your
Experiences. Yeah, so it was I went to Key West
Went down to the islands in the Keys of Florida if you've never been down there. It's really really great
We started off in Fort Lauderdale though
And did some things there, you know, ate at a fancy restaurant and you know shout out to Florida
You guys are awesome. I'm gonna you know probably retire there, but I digress it was it was really cool
It was like I said, we started off in Fort Lauderdale. We ate
at Fogo to Chow, which is a
Brazilian steakhouse. It's in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It was really nice and
So we got all dressed up for that. But then of course we also had some seafood
But you know Fort Lauderdale is more that city experience, you know by the water, you know a little bit
More elegant and things like that
And then as we headed down to the Keys, you know, you have kind of that
we had more of the I
guess shaggy
beach and fishing experience right
To where not as nice a little bit more gritty, but just you're in paradise, you know
I mean, it's it's really cool. A lot of the islands are awesome
The island of Marathon is really really an awesome place
There's the Crane Hammett State Park or I don't know if it's a state park, but it's a it's a park and
It's really cool. It's really really cool
If you get to go there, there's all sorts of stuff including they have a
Like pool where you put your feet in and like fish give you a pedicure because they like eat all the dead skin off of there
I was like, yeah, I ain't gonna do that
But you know, they had all sorts of stuff like that
And then we we spend some time in Key West as well if you get the chance to go to Key West all the way down there
Do the butterfly conservatory? I know it's like okay butterflies, but listen whether you like butterflies or not
It's a pretty pretty cool place
You know, of course it talks about the whole process, but basically it's just a big
It's like a greenhouse almost, you know kind of windowed
But it's just a big dome almost and it's got all these plant life
But just tons of butterflies so the moment you walk in there
You're just like surrounded by them as well as some tropical birds and there were some flamingos and turtles and you know
You just kind of have a good time and you're able to walk through there and then they also have some benches and it's kind of a
Serene experience. I mean, I don't know if you've ever seen hundreds of butterflies of just all sorts of kind just kind of flying around but it's
It's it's quite peaceful. I mean if you're in a bad mood, you'll leave that place not in a bad mood
I think would you say that was probably your favorite part of the whole trip or was there another favorite part actually my favorite part
I think was
fishing from from our hotel room so the hotel that we chose was a
It's typically for a fisherman, you know, and so you know, it was nice
but we had dockside access and
We rented a fishing pole and basically, you know, we were we were doing catcher release, but
The hotel was in this little cove and so all the fish would come into the cove, you know and feed and everything
especially around nighttime and
Man, it was it was quite fun. You know Chris
We've been on those fishing trips before where you cast that line out there and you won't get a nibble all day
This is like you cast that line in there and you're getting hits right off the bat
it's a matter of you got to hook them before they steal your bait and
Most of the time it was either you hooked them and reeled them in or they stole your bait
You're having to rebate it real quick and throw it back in but it was really that was probably my favorite part
But I just love fishing, you know fishing is really fun, especially when it's hot fishing like that
And it's just we were pulling up fish of all different kinds and I'd never been fishing in the keys before and there is a wide variety
Especially because like that cove I was talking about it's around about mangroves and so, you know
There's all sorts of stuff that lives around the mangrove mangrove snappers. There was all these reds over there
I mean, we were pulling up suckers with teeth
That you wouldn't believe like not sharks but just I mean the ocean everything is trying to kill each other and it just
It was interesting to see all the different species and just the different colors and
Especially being tropical fish like they were they had like green and blue accents all over them. It was really really cool
Definitely whenever I went deep sea fishing in Florida
It was a lot of that too where you would just drop your line in the water and by the time it hit the bottom
You would have a fish on the end of it, which is it's always kind of cool, right?
There's always that rush and the drill in of fishing and reeling something in and it is always cool to see like those different colors of
Fish because you just don't get to see those except in the ocean
What would be what would be like your favorite vacation that you've ever taken? Oh man, that's hard
I don't know if I can rank them like that because they're all so different and good in their own ways, you know what I mean
But I mean Q West definitely is up there
I mean that's
It was a really really really good experience. Yeah, I would actually say that that was probably the best vacation as
of so far
Is there anything that you would wish you would have done or like done differently? Yeah, you know honestly next time
I'm just like I'm thinking about
You know the first time I we we wanted to go to Fort Lauderdale and then drive down because we wanted to drive through Miami
Because there's a route that you can take that goes by this town in Florida called Danny of Beach
Or I don't even know how to pronounce that correct if you're from Danny of Beach and I'm pronouncing it wrong
I'm very sorry
But you can head south and pretty much it's all ocean or like I more like condo front, right?
Like you see glimpses of the ocean, but it's a lot of condos
But it goes all the way to South Beach Miami the really popular area, you know where it goes into the 50s Art Deco
You know what everybody goes to Miami for right so we wanted to drive through there
And then it kind of takes you up and around
The Miami airport and naturally that's what I wanted to do so and then you go south and there's only one way
To Key West and one way back
So you take that road down and it goes through the Everglades and then it turns into tropical
Paradise right so I saw that once as a kid wanted to see it again
And it was it lived up to the hype, but I think this next time, you know since I've seen that already
And let's just get there, you know because
Probably would have been better if we just stuck to one place, you know a little bit more relaxing instead of moving around quite a bit
I will say this and I don't know if you were like experienced it whenever you were driving in Florida
But like for those of y'all that don't live in Texas like you could go like five hours in Texas
And it feels like two hours
But like when you were driving in Florida, it felt like you were like going 30 minutes and it felt like five hours
And you're like bro, are we not there already? But like
Texas is definitely so spread out that like five hours is like
Definitely nothing so it only feels like two hours really. Yeah, absolutely in Texas is just a whole different beast
I'm gonna I'm gonna digress a moment
I know we're taking some time here, but the trip that I was just on up in the Northeast everybody was talking about
And Chris we've kind of talked about this with other cases, too
They were talking mess about two two and a half hours right there one guy was sitting here going all my parents lived two and a half
hours away and you know in a different state and
New Hampshire he's like oh they live over in New Hampshire and
He's like yeah, I only make that trip like once a year because two and a half hours, you know, that's like a Thanksgiving or Christmas trip
That's not something that I want to do. I'm like two hours two and a half hours
It's like bro. I drive that to the office sometimes like here in Texas like that's not even I was I was like people do that
To go have dinner somewhere like if it's a good restaurant people drive from San Antonio D'Austin
that's about two and a half hours and
Didn't drive back the same day
And it's not even that big of a deal
And you know six eight hour drives. That's a weekend trip man. Yep. That's nothing we do that all Texas is just a different beast
But uh, yeah, man interesting to hear some of the vacation spots and all that good stuff
So I'm ready to move on if you're if you're right
So we're moving into our next segment which this week it's tie your shoes cuz you trippin
I love this one Chris. What do you got for us?
Well, the tie your shoes cuz you tripping segment is always about either worse date stories or people got caught
Cheating in relationships or people just messing up in relationships and they need to tie their shoes cuz they tripping
So this one or actually all these are about worse date stories. So you ready to hear the first one? Alright
Yeah, let's do it. I don't know if this one is like really considered
first date or like sorry not a worst day, but I think maybe just
Expectations were not met. So I wouldn't really consider this a worse date stories. Oh, so they were just a bum, huh?
Oh, we gonna find out here. We go
So this girl says the guy told her to meet him at his job and she assumed that they were gonna go get dinner after his
Ship wrong we sat in silence in his security car for an hour as he played Jeff Dunham
Jeff Dunham's comedy my friends texted me and asked if I wanted to go to Taco Bell with them
So I left no second date. What do you think about that one? That's that's pretty weird. So
Just sitting there listening to Jeff Dunham like Jeff Dunham's cool and everything
But not for a first date
Weirdly sitting in a security car cuz something something tells me the left-off bits of this is sitting there in silence
And what is he gonna be watching it on in his security card his phone?
So you got to think this fool literally sat there and went, alright, we're gonna pull up Jeff Dunham on YouTube on my phone
Or whatever platform, you know
Yeah, that's that's pretty bad. I can understand why she was like, yeah, I'm out
I hate when people make me watch stuff on their phone. Just send it to me that way I could screen it
Although my wife does have this habit of we'll be laying in bed next to each other or sitting right next to each other
And she'll literally send me a like an Instagram reel that moment like and we're having a full-on
Conversation or something and I'm like you could have just showed this to me on your phone, but whatever mine does the same
Alright
This next one
Apparently this guy showed up to the date in cycle shoes
He took them off during the dinner put his feet up on the stool next to next to the ladies food
She at are he asked to switch seats with the with his date to have his back to the wall and facing the door
Quote just in case ended by asking the girl to meet his friends on the comm you for date number two
So apparently this man lived on a comm you whoa
Oh
Okay
That explains the cycle shoes and taking taking them off. Yeah, that's why I was just like all right disciple of David Koresh
No, no no second day. I tell you I'll choose cuz you trip it cuz that's yeah, that's messed up
Yeah, that's that's pretty bad especially
Listen, you need to ease them into it if you're gonna try to get them in like you can't do that on the second date
Maybe like third or fourth if you feel it out, right? Okay, so this next one
Apparently this guy and this girl had been seeing each other off and on
For a little while. I guess they planned like a romantic weekend
Somewhere and they were at a hotel
and so
The girl goes to the bathroom and she like comes out of the bathroom and apparently she had been texting her phone was like
Interhand and she kind of like turned it to like I guess her body like turned to the side to where the guy could see the phone screen
But apparently she had been
sending
Risqué photos
To someone like while she went to the bathroom and it turned out that it was her ex
Yeah, and so the guy excused himself to hit the bathroom. Yeah, he
He left the road he hit the road stuck her with the bill and everything and I was like well
She should have been sending illicit photos to her ex. That's messed up. Yeah, tie your shoes cuz you tripping. That's terrible
But you know today, I'm not really surprised. I know I never understood what older people talk about
They're not even that old, but I'm just like nowadays. I'm not surprised. All right
Here we go a couple more
This is a big red flag
The guy took her to go see a sidekick who proceeded to tell them that they wouldn't last as a couple and they would end up splitting up
On the two-hour drive home. He cried and said he didn't see the point in dating if they weren't gonna end up in a proper relationship
She just wanted to get the heck out of there
But to make matters worse when he pulled up outside of her house
He locked he locked this lady in the van and wouldn't let her out and then apparently he
Well, he watched her from his van for about three weeks afterwards and would call her continuously
So so much so that she couldn't use her phone because he was blowing up her phone too much
So that's I just cuz you tripped. That's pretty messed up. Oh, that's really messed up. That's really messed up
You know, it's interesting. I actually I'm gonna digress just for I'm gonna move over here just for a second
I just remember the tie issues could you tripping story that I heard in real life and
From somebody if you don't mind Chris, I'll need to take over your segment for a second. All right, cool
So I was at this Backwoods mechanic at one point and we were sitting there
And he was he like pulls up his shirt and shows me this stab wound in his chest and he goes
Yeah, my first wife see okay. I got to do it in the accident. Yeah, but first why stabbed me
I was like, why why'd she stab you for he goes on telling this story about how
You know the little the psychic calls like the miss Cleo like you can call the psychic's over the phone
Yeah, the psychic hotline. Yeah, so apparently
you know, he said he was he was sleeping and
She came in there and she had been talking to one of those psychics over the phone and
he said or the psychic had said that he had been cheating on her and
And so she she full on like they got into a big old fight and she full on had a knife in her hand
Like when she came in the room and stabbed them all because of phone psychic said that he was cheating on
Yeah, don't trust psychics ladies and gentlemen anytime. They're like, oh, yeah, let's go to a psychic
But yeah, he showed me the stab wound and that was a pretty wild story
I was sitting here and then he was like it may try to stick me with the bill too
They called me up and said I owed six hundred dollars something like that. I said I didn't call no miss Cleo
You better call my wife. She's gonna be the one paying that I got stabbed over it
It was a whole thing next one and then I'm gonna like I have one more
That's like official
But then I'm gonna tell you this other one that I found because it was like too long
But I'm gonna tell you the short version of it because you're gonna get a good kick out of it
This guy says that a friend set him up with a girl who knew they went on a date
She he said that she was cute funny smart and everything that you'd hope for for a blind first date
And to be clear we both knew that it was gonna be a date after spending a good part of the day with her
They ended up at a frozen yogurt spot
They talked for a bit and then she mentions how much fun she had then she says how much her boyfriend would like to spot
And that we should all hang out again next week. Oh man, that's horrible. Hi. Yo, she was cuz you tripping bro
She was like, yeah, this was fun. She was like, I need to bring my boyfriend here. It's like, oh, man
That's messed up. Well, my question was was it supposed to be like yes a date
But maybe they're in an open relationship or looking for like a third person in the relationship because that's a thing
I don't know man. It doesn't say alright
I'm gonna tell you this next one real quick and this is like the most
Mississippi thing you're ever gonna hear it's gonna be funny. Oh boy. So this lady says that she I guess
her friends set her up with one of
one of her friends or something and this guy was like a
police deputy sheriff in the town and they have been like texting back and forth
And apparently he did tell her it was like hey like my pictures are old like I'm actually kind of overweight
And so he said slightly overweight and so she's like yeah, no big deal like looks don't really matter
So he picked he picked her up, right? And apparently this guy was like
350 pounds like he was like this massive dude and she was like, okay, and he said that he wanted to go to
He wanted to go to this local restaurant that was in another town
Mind you this guy is like a police officer, right?
350 pound police officers like and so he's like dipping like spitting in his spit cup
And she's kind of just like turned off by the whole thing they go to the buffet and apparently he's
introducing every oh not the buffet
He's introducing everybody to her as his girlfriend and this is their first date mind you and it's like oh, yeah
This is my this is my girlfriend and everybody's like oh, that's so nice. Well, it gets better. She
He's like hey, can we go back to my house real quick? I need something
I need to grab something so they go back to the house and apparently like his whole family is there like his mom his dad like
Grandma grandpa everybody and they're all like yeah, we're just so excited to meet so and so's girlfriend
When are y'all gonna get married and she's like, um, this is like my first date and they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah
so when's the wedding and then
Of course typical like southern thing and then like he's like, okay
We're gonna go meet up with some of my other friends
Apparently he takes her to go meet up with some of his friends and they're gonna go gigging which gigging is like hunting for frogs
Yeah, and so and so she's like I did not know this was gonna be a thing and so apparently one of his friends wives
We're like, oh, yeah, so you're so and so's girlfriend and she is like
No, this is like our first date and he's like well, we went gigging on my first date now
We're married and it was like bro is like the most Mississippi thing I had ever heard in my life
Yeah, that's a real backwards thing too and the bad part is you have to turn him down lightly because he's also a police officer
You know and you don't know what that's gonna get troubled. Yeah, but then you can just run away from him because he won't be able to catch you
Run from a month. Well, we're gonna move into our
Next segment, which is the donut. Oh, I I'm sad to say we don't have a quiz this week, Micah
Micah and I actually did go to the movies
When he came up to visit and Micah never goes to the movies
So I thought we could do like a movie review. Yes, we can and we can both talk about it
Yeah, cuz you actually saw it
We went to go see Killers of the Flower Moon, which is the new Martin Scorsese
Leo de Caprio film and without giving away spoilers. We won't do that
But what were your overall impressions of the film? Did you like it? Not like it?
What do you think I liked it? It was okay. It was a typical movie with the De Niro Scorsese thing going on
as far as length
and then also
Kind of a light
I mean, it's not a mob movie per se
But it kind of has like the underhanding dealings that you would come to know from a De Niro character
but at the same time I thought the acting was really good actually because
You know the storyline really sucks you in it's you know, it's about a Native American tribe and
With their oil money, you know, and so it's it's got a lot of twists and turns to it
And you know being such a long movie there. There's a lot of time for twists and turns especially from the beginning
I don't know about you like I saw where some things were going but other things I really didn't like other things
I was like, oh shoot. Okay, that went a little different than I expected the ending did not end how I thought it was going to end
Which is okay, but again like Michael said it was about the Osage Indians and it's kind of like at the
I think it's after the First World War. So it's like the 19
Like right after like ish 1930s
What do you think of Leonardo DiCaprio and a lot of people have said like this is his best performance
What do you think I think it was one of his best here's here's the hard part him and Django is very hard for me to not say
That's his best performance because he really went all out in Django like that was a really good
I don't know to me not a lot tops that for for him
But yeah, no it was a very very good because it was very compelling
You know really all the actors all the way around it was it was really really good
What I thought was good as well is
Now they did have some I wouldn't say goofy scenes, but there was like one scene
I am not gonna say that but pretty much
You know it was cool. They had actual members of the tribe there and
You know, I think some of the actors potentially were part of the tribe too, right? Yeah, I think so
And again, there was a lot of I don't know if it was a book
But there was a lot of like symbolism and cut scenes
And I I don't know about you, but I really did like how they incorporated the heritage of the Osage
Native American tribe in there. I did like Leonardo DiCaprio's accent
I thought he pulled off like a good like Oklahoma West Texas
Accent like I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot it was Leo DiCaprio for half a minute, you know and I will say this
The Nero pulled off a pretty good southern accent. I mean I kind of wasn't expecting that from him
It was a soft southern accent like it wasn't full on but you know, that's how he talks anyways, right?
Like he has an accent, but it's not I don't know
It's not overly harsh if that makes sense on any front. I thought it was good movie
I thought it was good movie. Would I buy the movie? Probably not. Would I go see it again? Maybe maybe I would
But I thought it was a good movie
I'd stream it if I had a lot of time like if it's something like I need to put something on in the background
And I have a lot of time maybe to me it kind of falls in the same category as the Irishman
It's like now I wouldn't say falls in same categories and like it's the same style of movie but like, you know
What I probably might know is it one that's like super like oh man
This is one of my favorites of all time. No, but is it a good solid movie? Absolutely
I think I definitely think it was obscure enough to win one of those like Oscar awards one of those best picture
Because when every time like a movie wins best picture
I'm always like really there were so much so many other better movies than that
But I definitely could see this one winning a best picture at the Oscars
Oh, absolutely. And I guess for me too what made it really good and a mark of a good movie is it doesn't just make you feel a lot of emotions with it
But it also makes you think and that causes you to feel emotions if that makes sense
Like there was portions of the movie and I even looked over at Chris at certain points
And I mean I wouldn't say gut wrenching like it wasn't that bad
But there were some moments that would make you a little uncomfortable or maybe like
Like, you know, one thing is, you know, there was some things going on between, you know, Lee Arner, Capri Arner's character and his wife
And it, you know, makes you relate to what that would be like in your married life and then it kind of, you know, really puts it in perspective
And I don't know, things like that
Especially because there was with the name like Killers of the Flower of Moon, there's a lot of death, right?
So we've all experienced people dying, especially family members
So, you know, it's one of those things to where I think it was good because they really nailed the emotions behind it
And that's sometimes movies will miss on that
But I think everybody did a really good job of the people who needed to be heartless or heartless and cold and callous, right?
And then you kind of had the in-betweeners and then you had, you just have to go see it
For sure. Well, we are going to move into our next segment, which is what fries my donuts
What fries your donuts this week?
Oh, we got multiple parts
So speaking of death, I went to a funeral and, you know, not upset with the funeral
We've talked about funeral processes and, you know, why it can be really hard
But here's one thing that I just, and plain and simple
We didn't grow up with a lot of this man, but I've seen this a lot more where there's the handshake line or the grieving line, right?
Where you go by the family members and you shake their hand
Well, in this instance, we had to do it four times with these family members, right?
And my thing is it's hard enough going around the first time and telling them something
But what in the heck are you going to say by the time it comes to the fourth time?
You know, second and third time gets really difficult by the fourth time you're like, man
Yeah, I really, you know, inside you're like, man, I don't know what to tell you
I'm really, I'm sorry, it's like, but I've already told you that, you know, three times already
It just becomes difficult. I think that's too much
And for me, I think that's too much on the family too, because, yeah
It's just too much for everybody, just once is good, I feel like
Shake their hand, tell them you're there for them, that's good
But we don't need two, three, four times, you know what I mean?
I know that's specific, but still
No, I agree. I think once is good enough for the family, it's exhausting
So once is enough
Yeah, especially, I mean, you don't want to keep her money
I mean, they're already at their funeral most of the time and even, you know, this was open casket
So you're sitting there looking at them too, so it's not, wasn't easy
But anyways, the next thing, totally different subject
And you can tell that I've been to the airport, but we've talked about this before
This one in particular, but why do people stop in the middle of the, this was big in Atlanta?
Atlanta in particular
People stopping in the middle of the main aisle, right?
There's plenty of sitting areas, right? Places you could pull off to the side
Most of the time you're getting something out of your bag or tying your shoe or whatever
People will stop in the middle of that flow of all these people
And I couldn't tell you how many people I had to like, avoid, right?
Like you're, you're like right in, you know, right behind them
They'll stop in front of you and you're like, whoop, and you got your bag and everything
You're like, dude, I'm about to run into you, what are you doing? Like, get over
It's like being in traffic, except with people
I really, I can't stand it sometimes
I think we should run them over, I think we should
I agree, man, oh and the other thing too, here's another one
I sent Chris a picture, but I had this lovely woman who decided I was her, her napspace several times
And yes, I did shove her off, I said nicely like, hey, you know, and like woke her up
And she didn't move properly and went right back on my shoulder
So I just started nudging her off of me
Because, listen, you pay good money for a seat on a plane, right?
You don't, I like to get window seat because you get at least a little bit more space
Some people like aisle, but you know, my legs are big
I got to kind of, you know, stuff them somewhere
At least the window, you kind of have that curvature of the plane there
But this lady was full on like, head on shoulders
Starting to put body weight into you to where like, you're up against the wall of the plane
That ain't right, man, don't be doing that to people
Like if you're tired, cool, but even the seats, I don't know if you know this
Most people don't, but if you want to sleep the seats, if you pull the headrest
Like you can pull the headrest to where it like holds your head in place almost
And kind of makes a cushion and it's very comfortable
Yeah, it's like a neck pillow
Yeah, it is, it's, it's, and for me, it's comfortable
I actually napped a little bit today doing that
So, but most people don't know that that happens
And it also avoids you getting on somebody else too
So please do that
This is controversial, this next one
And, but listen, big people, I love you, I do
But at a certain limit, we got to have you buy two seats
I'm just saying
I, you know, people spilling over into you
Like, I know they're not comfortable, I know you're not comfortable
Like nobody's comfortable in that situation
And hate to be that guy, but again, you pay good money for this seat
And if it's a two, three hour flight, you're uncomfortable for two or three hours
And the window seat's a blessing and a curse, right?
Because you're sitting on the window seat
But if you're stuck like that, you're stuck like that
There is no moving
And, you know, I had that experience
And last and final one is personal hygiene
Holy crap, I had two people on this, on this trip
I don't know why, but they spelt, they both smell like spoiled milk
I don't know why
And the hard part is, you know, just when you kind of get used to it
Then they would move and you would get a new whiff of it
And you're like, bro, don't move if you're going to stank like that
Like seriously, like, you know, you know you're going to be on a plane with a ton of people
And oh, one of the ladies that smelled like spoiled milk
I'll just tell you this much right now
She took like 10 minutes to wipe down the seat back
To wipe down the TV, to wipe down the tray table
Like before she actually sat down and I was like
But you couldn't wipe yourself down before you got on this plane, please
Anyways, I digress
That's what fries my donuts
I said couldn't put on deodorant or nothing?
That's what I'm saying
It's just like, you all, you're all good with hygiene
But apparently you can't wash yourself, I don't get it
But yeah, that's what fries my donuts, man
It's like, I love flying
It's some of the people that just make it a little tough
But, you know, good news on one of my flights
I actually had a full row open
So that was really nice
Because then you can really stretch out
That is always nice
Well, cool deal, man
Well, we're gonna move into our next segment
Which is the improv segment, our mystery donut
And we got the randomized
What do we got?
Yeah, man, so we're gonna pick a few categories
We love the randomizer
So what are you thinking today?
You wanna do like an object
Or like a profession, a location, and an emotion, I'm thinking
Alright, so the profession is a farmer
At a truck terminal
I don't know what a truck terminal is
I'm gonna change that one
I'm thinking like a truck stop, but I'm not sure
At an astronaut training center, okay
And he's in a determined move
Well, that's not exactly fun enough
Let's do something
Oh, he's troubled, that's great
Okay
Oh, cool, trouble
Okay
Alright, I can start
Okay, perfect
Well, yeah, buddy, I got this delivery of a...
It said 14 boxes of potatoes
And about 20 boxes of tomato plant
I don't know where y'all gonna eat all this stuff
Where do I even...
Where do I even put all this stuff?
Listen, you put it in the bag on the kitchen, okay
I don't know what to tell you
You come out that field and it's like you lose your mind
You've done this a thousand times
I don't know what your problem is
Well, I just wanna know if the invoice has already been paid
Because I've put my blood, sweat, and tears
And it's like my family
I'm like selling off my family
I need to make sure I'm not selling off my family
I'm like selling off my family
I need to make sure I get compensated
Because if I don't, I'm gonna be able to make it
Make it another year
Well, listen, I'm gonna tell you something
You ought to be just not worrying about your little family
Or corn and whatever else you're bringing in here
Because I'll tell you this much
What's happening here at Space Center
Is we're gonna take it back to the kitchen
And me, member of the FDA
Former farmer extraordinaire
I'm going to make it to the best pureed things
For these space guys to eat
Alright?
They will have the best paste tasting
You won't even know
It's gourmet paste by yours truly
Well, that was just concerning me
I'm glad you done put my fears to ease
Because I was worried
Because I was like all that stuff up in there
Up in the stratosphere, up in the atmosphere
That stuff ain't gonna last
It's gonna be like popcorn
You get them little ears of corn near those
Thrusters in the rocket ship
You'll be having popcorn for days, buddy
Listen, are you dumb or something?
Stratosphere
That's where the airplanes go
No, no, no, no, no
We're talking about outside the atmosphere
We're talking about going, you know, orbiting
And all this other stuff
And, you know, we're talking about
International Space Station
And I'm just saying
That squash looks nice now
But I wouldn't even worry about it
Because it's gonna, when it's pureed
It's gonna look like doo-doo, I promise you
Well, listen here, buddy
I don't know where you go off
Telling me that I'm dumb
I may not have had a college education
I may just be a farm boy
But you know what?
There's a poem that says, God made a farmer
You know what he did on the eighth day?
He made a farmer
Now, you know what farmers do?
Farmers make this country go round
I tell you that much
I'm a farmer too
And I'll tell you something
From one farmer to another
You better get the heck out of here
Because I'm tired of the mouth
Listen, you're gonna deliver the food
That's all we need from you
No more family talk
I ain't your family no more
They're coming into pure-rate meats
All right, and it ain't gonna be corn may actually
I'm gonna make it look like it's gonna be nasty
Because you know what?
Think you got that lab coat on
You think that makes you God's gift of farming
Well, you know what?
Buddy, I'm taking me and my crop
And we're going else
I said I'm part of FDA
What did you not understand about that?
Well, I'm taking my crop and we're going
So you're gonna have to get yourself another farm
Plenty of them
Listen, we got a bunch of them on the government payroll
You get your cleatest big buy right out of here
Fine then
Well, that was our...
Well, that was our improv
Yeah, good ol' stuff
John Boyd at the Kennedy Space Center
But yeah, we're gonna move into our...
E-Clair, which is our positive advice
And Michael, I think it's your turn to go first
Yeah, my positive advice is
Life is short, be adventurous
You know, the thing is
I went on this trip right and
Wasn't expecting to do some things
And you know, there was some real tiring experiences
And just on a small front, you know
There was a lot of time that's like, man
I just want to go to the back to the hotel room
Because there was a lot of traveling
It was a lot of work
It was a lot of late nights and early mornings
You know, a lot of running on coffee
Things like that
But if I would have just sat in the hotel room
I would have missed a bunch of experiences
And really cool experiences
And the northeast is very full of history
So, you know, it's really cool
So I got to see a lot of cool stuff
But it did cause me to run around a good bit
But it's totally worked it
Because you won't remember how tired you were
You just remember the experiences
And that's why it's just like, you know
Also, take vacations, man
Like if you can afford it, you know
Be within your means of cash
Like I understand
We've all been there, we've all been there
But the thing is, even if it's a weekend
You know, out of town
Or even a weekend in town
Staycations are cool too
I don't know if you've ever stayed a hotel in town
But sometimes, you know, it's good to just take a break
But, you know, you can even be adventurous
In your own town
There's stuff that is so unexplored
All around you
Even in small towns around you
I know here in Texas, it's like
Every small town that's around has at least
A little something or a little piece of
A nugget of history or something
That's like, oh, that's pretty cool
That's pretty cool
You definitely be adventurous
Take those chances
Make those memories
It's good
Mine is, you know
Sometimes you have to, you know
Do a job to put food on the table
But find something that's going to like
Fill your tank
Because sometimes you can get so burned out
Just because you're simply doing a job
That is outside your wheelhouse
Or you're gifting, right?
So like, if you love to build things
With your hands
But you're stuck in a job where you're like
You're having to put in spreadsheets
Or having to do administrative stuff
And that stuff is like stuff that you hate
You know, that can get you burned out real quick
Now, if it's a job where you're like
You know what, I'm doing this
So I can put food on the table
Like, that's totally cool
But find a way to do stuff that fills up your tank
And for me, that's like coaching
And mentoring other people
It's also doing this podcast
Doing this podcast also helps fill my tank
It helps me get those creative juices out
Because I'll tell you, man
I've got creative things floating around in my head all the time
And this helps me do that
So find things that help fill your tank
Find things that help you do what you were made to do
I heard a quote that said
It's okay to do what you want to do
Until it's time to start doing what you were made to do
And so we all have those things that we were made to do
And so find what it is
And do things that help invest that emotional tank
But yeah, man, it's been a great show
Yeah, it has
And we're going to start plugging our stuff

That's TVTrashCan.com
