84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,440 I'm eager to get into your life. 85 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,200 I understand that you bought your first car with cash and let me tell you, even in the 86 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,120 day and age that we grew up, that kind of wasn't real common. 87 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,800 I mean, how many people, you know, I think their parents, you know, paid for a lot of 88 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,000 it, but Chris, you bought your own car, the Buick, we've talked about it before, but I 89 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,880 don't think we've talked about how you bought it, what you did work wise to get there. 90 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,400 And there was a couple of different jobs, right? 91 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,680 Well, it was mainly because of Chuck E. Cheese. 92 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,840 That's mainly what it was. 93 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:48,680 I worked at Chuck E. Cheese. 94 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,880 I know you talked about me working at the Masters Golf Tournament, but that was to buy 95 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,480 my plane tickets to come out to Texas. 96 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,480 That's right. 97 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,660 For some reason, I thought that was also to save up for your car. 98 00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:00,660 But no, that's all right. 99 00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:01,660 That's right. 100 00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:04,200 It was to buy the plane tickets for your first trip out to Texas. 101 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,200 Yeah. 102 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,680 So, yeah, I'll go into that in a little bit. 103 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:14,440 But Chuck E. Cheese, so it was my first job and I was looking around for jobs and I applied 104 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:20,280 everywhere and I just happened to go to Chuck E. Cheese and was like, let me give it a shot. 105 00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:21,960 And so I applied. 106 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,880 They hired me on as a game room attendant and we've talked a little bit about what that 107 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,160 means, but basically the game room attendant did pretty much everything. 108 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:37,120 They bus the tables, they fixed all the games, they restocked the games with tickets back 109 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,000 in the days when games would spit out tickets. 110 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,640 Now they have it really easy because they just spit out a card and you can just swipe 111 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,560 it and whenever you play a game, the tickets just get added to your card, which I'm like, 112 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,160 that is absolutely genius. 113 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,840 And so I would also have to bus the tables and then at night, I would have to wipe down 114 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:03,520 all 100 games, bus all 100 tables, fill all the cheeses, all the napkins, sweep under 115 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:10,960 the tables, refill all the games with tickets and then I'd have to vacuum the whole store 116 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,320 and then I'd have to mop. 117 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,080 And it was like pretty big and it was only like one person that did it at night. 118 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:21,080 And so it was a lot and I worked there for, I think it was 10 months and I just saved 119 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,040 up all my money and I remember like a lot of people would be like, hey, like let's go 120 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,840 out to E or let's go do this thing. 121 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,480 So a lot of people, they would want to go out and I'd be like, no, man, I'm trying to 122 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,800 save money for my car. 123 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:39,040 So when it was time to buy the car, I remember I looked in like the newspaper and all that 124 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,400 good stuff and there was like this huge car lot. 125 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,360 And so we went up there and it was this 96 Buick. 126 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,640 My test drove it and it was like right in my price range. 127 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:57,360 And I, that's when I learned about tax tag and title because the sticker price is what's 128 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,720 on the sticker, but they also have to charge you for your taxes, your title and your like 129 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,800 licenses and stuff. 130 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,040 So that's usually an extra like 200 to $400. 131 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,680 So I learned that real quick. 132 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,560 But I remember like my grandpa went and checked out the car and they were like, yeah, this 133 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,040 car was like pretty in pretty good shape and I only have one previous owner. 134 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,440 And so I bought the car cash and yeah, man, I picked Mike up. 135 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,840 I think it was before he got his truck. 136 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,600 And so I was his ride for a while and then when he got his truck, he could drive on his 137 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,200 own, but yeah, it was, it was cool to have your own car, man. 138 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:40,400 Now my parents paid for the insurance, but I bought the car and I paid for the gas. 139 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,760 So I mean, it was like, I guess it was a fair deal. 140 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,760 I would say. 141 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,240 And I think if I remember correctly, it wasn't like $2,500, something like that. 142 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,640 I think it's how much it was. 143 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,120 It was $2,500 with a tax tag and title. 144 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,480 So I bought it straight up cash. 145 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,520 So that was, that's kind of, I'm not proud of a whole lot of things in my life. 146 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,400 I mean, there are a couple of things that I'm proud of, but like that's one that I'm 147 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,880 really proud of. 148 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,800 But yeah, so yeah, enough about me. 149 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,360 We'll ask some more questions about me later. 150 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,440 But Micah, we've talked about your love of planes, man. 151 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:25,120 Where did that stem from and what have you always wanted to be when you, when you grow 152 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,120 up? 153 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,840 I was a kid off as a kid. 154 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,760 I grew up part of my life in Germany because my dad was in the military and so was over 155 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:41,200 there and there was an airport over there in Frankfurt, big massive airport. 156 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,040 And you know, I don't know. 157 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,760 I saw a lot of where we were living. 158 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,200 There was planes flying over the house and things like that. 159 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,080 So got to see that quite a bit. 160 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,560 But the 747, the big jumbo jet, you know, the four engine, double deck or son of a gun. 161 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,000 I don't know. 162 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,080 It was just, it was just massive. 163 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,040 And at the time, this was like pre-911. 164 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,120 So you know, there was like an observation deck and I just remember you'd go out on the 165 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,720 observation deck and you could see everything they were doing. 166 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,120 And it's just such a, they were just such massive machines and all these people and you 167 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,280 know, I don't know, it was a glamorous looking life. 168 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,560 And so I wanted to be a pilot, like a commercial pilot when I grew up. 169 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:23,880 But I'll tell you this much, I kind of got into that world a little bit. 170 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,320 I actually went to a flight school that was geared towards getting you to be a commercial 171 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,320 pilot. 172 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,840 And man, I did not like the lifestyle actually. 173 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,080 I mean, a lot changed. 174 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,120 So it kind of weirded to go back, right? 175 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:44,680 So being in a military kid, you know, my parents weren't exactly there a ton, right? 176 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:47,240 Especially my daddy wasn't there a ton. 177 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,400 And you know, a lot of what I had, I'll have a lot of friends who were pilots and things 178 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:52,400 like that. 179 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,320 And that's the biggest thing is, you know, they really don't get to see their family 180 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,120 a ton, especially right now because there's a big pilot shortage. 181 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,040 They don't get to see their family a ton. 182 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,240 They're on the road all the time. 183 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,400 And you know, they missed those moments like the holidays are coming up, right? 184 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,680 Like we talked about Thanksgiving, Christmas, like, you know, you won't be able to see them, 185 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:11,880 things like that. 186 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:18,400 And so I don't know, there was that and there's, it's different when it's a job at a business, 187 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,400 right? 188 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,440 And so it's fun, your own is fun when you fly and you're on somebody else's schedule 189 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,280 and on somebody else's time. 190 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,920 It's a job and a business, right? 191 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,160 And so it just kind of turns you off after a while. 192 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,280 So priorities change a little bit. 193 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,400 But now I still love planes, love planes of all kind. 194 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,080 But and here's the thing about Michael. 195 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,400 Michael can just look at a plane and Michael can even like close his eyes and he can hear 196 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,080 a plane and he can tell what kind of plane it is. 197 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,080 Is that true? 198 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,080 That's that's true, right? 199 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,320 Yeah, for for most things. 200 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,800 Now, a lot of people, whenever I say planes, they're like, Oh, military stuff, military 201 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:56,800 stuff. 202 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,480 I know like basic stuff, but really not much. 203 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,840 I'm kind of a different guy. 204 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,920 I like commercial aviation a ton. 205 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,680 But yeah, it's, it's a lot of that. 206 00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:09,680 And I guess over time, it's gotten kind of easier just because, you know, I think we've 207 00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:14,680 talked about cars and stuff like that on here and how there's kind of just general, you 208 00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:20,600 know, a few different makes and models and just kind of all the same, but a little different 209 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:21,600 per manufacturer. 210 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,280 It's kind of the same thing with planes now. 211 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,840 They're all pretty much the same in design, except for a few little nuances. 212 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,000 But there's a lot less of them and they're a lot more just kind of generic now. 213 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,800 So it's a little easier now. 214 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,040 Used to be it was a little harder. 215 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Funny thing about Micah is that I'm never flying. 216 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,760 Like I'll tell him like where I'm going and stuff. 217 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,160 And he'll be like, yeah, I'm tracking your flight right now. 218 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,200 He's like, you're going to be flying on this plane. 219 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,400 And this plane is pretty cool because it'll give you like the history of it and be like, 220 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,760 oh yeah, these are, these are not made that anymore. 221 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,840 There's not that many more of these. 222 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,240 So enjoy this flight. 223 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,960 And so you recently took that flight on one of the, I guess it was the last remaining 224 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,480 plane of its kind or something. 225 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,640 And so to me, man, I'm like, I want a plane like it flies as long as it flies. 226 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,840 Like I don't care about Micah. 227 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,520 Like he loves planes. 228 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Now let me ask you, so do you think at this point, like knowing what you know, would you 229 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,840 just rather flying be like a hobby? 230 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,320 Like you want to get your pilot's license and you would just like do it as a hobby or 231 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,760 would you still want to be like a private pilot or? 232 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,480 I would love for it to just be a hobby. 233 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,120 Have my own plane, go out and do my own thing. 234 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,520 Like, you know, in the morning go burn a little fuel, that sort of thing. 235 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,320 Really and truly, if I had to do it for a job and a career, I think I would want to be 236 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,600 more of the instructor route. 237 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,640 I like to teach and so it'd be nice. 238 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,400 And that way you still get to be home a lot. 239 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,400 Yeah. 240 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,280 Tell them about the game that you have played about planes. 241 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,240 I mean, it's not really a game, but yeah. 242 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,240 Flight simulator. 243 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,240 Poor, poor Chris. 244 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,880 I'll tell you this much. 245 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,400 Whenever we shared a room together, how, how many hours do you think I put in? 246 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,400 Yeah, it was playing. 247 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480 Here's the thing about flight sim. 248 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,440 You would even before we had to share a room, like even when we lived back in Georgia, you 249 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,120 be like, yeah, I'm flying to Brazil right now or I'm flying to some, some, but like 250 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920 you, like it's like in real time. 251 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,560 So you would just kind of like once you got in the air and all that stuff, like you would 252 00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:27,760 just kind of let it fly. 253 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,880 And then you'd be like, hold on, bro, we got to pause our game because I got to land this 254 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,320 plane because it's about time for me to land. 255 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,360 But like he would be, he would, he would like nowhere he was at and he'd be like, yeah, 256 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,880 bro, we got to stop real quick. 257 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,680 Yeah, we got to stop playing basketball because I got to go play in this plane. 258 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:46,600 So yeah, that's my wife has to deal with that. 259 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,720 So she also got really, really mad because on the, you know, more modern flights. 260 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,480 So like even in that flight simulator, you could pause it, but now you could pause it 261 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,880 like midair and you do whatever you need to do. 262 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,040 I just don't like doing that. 263 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,160 I like keeping it real time and everything going like it should and things like that. 264 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,320 So it's just funny because she gets kind of agitated about it. 265 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,720 Sometimes like, you know, you could pause it was like, Oh, I know, but like, we're, you 266 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,560 know, we got to fly this approach right now. 267 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:15,720 You know, that's actually, that's actually a weird fact. 268 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,160 I don't think really anybody knows about me. 269 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,600 We're divulging this on the donut box podcast. 270 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,680 So flight simulators actually how I learned how to fly more complex systems. 271 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,480 Like, you know, most people, like what I flight train on in real life or Cessna is the small 272 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,720 like single prop planes, but you know, flight simulators, you could fly all the way up to 273 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,560 the airliners and that's always what I've been interested in. 274 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,880 I had no idea how autopilot worked or, you know, any of the radio frequencies and things. 275 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,160 Honestly, it was like trial and error over the years and then come to find out you start 276 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,400 putting two and two together. 277 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,440 And then finally I found how to do autopilot. 278 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,640 That made my life a lot easier. 279 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,480 A lot of people talk mess, especially on flight simulator of like, Oh, you know, oh, you turn 280 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,240 on the autopilot, you're not really flying. 281 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:08,160 For me, where you're honing your skills, like, yes, there are skills and just regular flying 282 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,840 or you hone your skills or take off and landing because those are the most critical points, 283 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,840 especially landings. 284 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,800 And that's always my favorite is, you know, getting to do that. 285 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,840 But you know, 33,000 feet maintaining yourself. 286 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,840 It's boring. 287 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,160 You know, you can let the autopilot do that in my mind. 288 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,160 Yeah. 289 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,800 I got two more things I'm going to say that we'll get off this, but number one, our friend 290 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:35,400 Aaron, he's actually a pretty successful YouTuber and that's a lot of what he makes on his channel 291 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,920 is a flight sim videos. 292 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,840 And so they're actually pretty good and he's actually pretty entertaining. 293 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,040 So yeah, he's got great content actually. 294 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,480 So shout out to Aaron. 295 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,320 If you're listening, he's a cool guy. 296 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,680 He's actually, I was just going to say, go look him up. 297 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,680 Yeah. 298 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,080 Aaron Reins, go look him up for sure. 299 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,760 And then number two, my question was, now, some of y'all have never seen this movie. 300 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,360 But Soul Plane, how do you feel about that movie? 301 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:11,240 How do you get like upset about some of the things about the plane and Soul Plane? 302 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,200 No, because it's a comedy movie. 303 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,080 So you know, it's going to be really inaccurate. 304 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:22,520 I mean, you can't have spinners on there and whatnot or hydraulics or any, you know, some 305 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,000 of the features that the plane had there. 306 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,000 No. 307 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:32,920 And what I do get mad is sometimes in TV and movies, they, what they'll use is they'll 308 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,560 use stock footage of like a plane taking off or landing, right? 309 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,080 And the hard part for me is there are some basics. 310 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,000 Like, I know this is to people who don't care, right? 311 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000 And they're just watching TV. 312 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,000 It doesn't matter. 313 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,160 But for me, it's like they'll show a DC three, which is like this little prop plane, right? 314 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:57,200 And then the inside is the, this main, you know, cabin, huge passenger airline and you're 315 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,080 going, okay, yeah, right. 316 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,880 That thing sits six people. 317 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,000 How is there 18 in a first class and a business class cabin that don't make no sense? 318 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,200 Like, that's the stuff that pisses me off. 319 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,680 I'm like, see the logistics just, it doesn't work out. 320 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,240 So your senior year of high school, we've talked about it a little bit before, but it 321 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,840 was kind of a tumultuous time. 322 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,120 I don't know, most people senior year is a little interesting, but you know, part of 323 00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:26,640 your senior year, you knew that you were moving to Texas. 324 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,360 So kind of how did that go? 325 00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:32,040 Like what do you mean about me moving to Texas and how my attitude was? 326 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,440 Yeah, like, I know that senior ride is definitely kicked in, but it was, it was an interesting 327 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,640 time for Chris. 328 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,000 We're just going to divulge this a little bit too. 329 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,280 We've talked about it, but to put it in full picture here, you know, he started dating 330 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,640 this particular gal. 331 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,360 We've talked about her in the past and then at the same time he had his car too. 332 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:56,840 And not just that, but he was a part of the police explored program. 333 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,560 And about that point was like, yeah, kind of stepped away from church and the youth group 334 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,160 kind of thing at the time. 335 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:09,880 So like, tell us about what was going on with, I guess, dark side Chris over here. 336 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,880 What was going on? 337 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,400 Oh, if we have to, that is not a proud moment in my life. 338 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,320 It was basically looking back on it, I'm like, yeah, man, I just squandered that senior year, 339 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:25,440 but I had been not bullied, but just kind of treated poorly by a lot of people I knew, 340 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,080 not Michael, but like it was like, man, I tried to reach out and have friends and just 341 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,160 didn't really feel like I fit in. 342 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,720 Except when I started the police internship program, that's when I started having friends. 343 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:42,320 And bro, once I found out that I was moving to Texas mentally, I was like giving the middle 344 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,000 finger to everybody, I would just like, you know what, I'm moving to Texas, I'm going 345 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,840 to burn all the bridges I have right now. 346 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,560 I was like, I never go see none of y'all fools again. 347 00:18:53,560 --> 00:19:00,040 And so I remember, so the girl that I was dating, she broke up with me in January. 348 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:05,840 And of course me, I was like, still trying to hold on and like still trying to be the 349 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,880 friend and she was like kind of using that. 350 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,000 And like as soon as I found out I got accepted into Texas, I just came over there and was 351 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,840 like, yeah, bro, I'm moving to Texas by sorry about you. 352 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:16,840 I don't care. 353 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,880 And she was like, but, but, but like what about this and that? 354 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,560 And I was like, yeah, bro, I don't care. 355 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,680 I'm moving to Texas. 356 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,040 Even with the youth group leaders, bro, that's the time that we pepper sprayed each other 357 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,880 in the parking lot. 358 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,640 Or I got pepper sprayed in the parking lot. 359 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,880 And yeah, and so then the youth leaders were trying to say stuff to me and I was like, 360 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,280 yeah, bro, I don't really care. 361 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,280 Like I just, I didn't really care. 362 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,480 I was in a bad spot that whole year, man. 363 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,480 Just cause I was like kind of tired of doing like the good, goody two shoes thing. 364 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,720 It wasn't, I was like going out and partying or, you know, cussing people out or anything 365 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,720 like that. 366 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,760 I just was making a lot of decisions that weren't me. 367 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,160 And I think I was doing it out of a lot of pain. 368 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:12,160 And I was just kind of frustrated with things that were going on at home and mostly between 369 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,760 like me and my dad. 370 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,680 And so I was just like ready to get out. 371 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,240 Like I was just ready to leave the house. 372 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,960 I was ready to be done with Augusta, Georgia. 373 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,880 And so I just had a really bad attitude and like looking back on it, man, I wish I would 374 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,560 have cherished like those moments and would have, because if I couldn't go back, I'd do 375 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,560 my senior year way differently. 376 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,440 Like I goofed off. 377 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:36,680 I skipped school a lot and I was just like, yeah, man, like just forget this. 378 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,160 So it was not a good time for good old Christopher. 379 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,520 That was, that's not a problem moment in his life. 380 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,120 Now, now as negative as that was, we'll talk about this. 381 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,720 Where would, where would Christopher senior year go and skip school? 382 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Like if you, if you skip school, what was it? 383 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,320 Oh, so here's the thing. 384 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,160 And my mom is going to totally be upset when she hears this because my mom doesn't even 385 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,160 know. 386 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000 So I'm going to confess this on the doughnut box. 387 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,760 I told you, I told you, season three were going to be edgy. 388 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,600 Basically what I would just really do is I would like go to my home room and I'd go 389 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:15,600 to my first period class and then I would like fake sick and then I would just go home. 390 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,600 That's really what I would do. 391 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:21,200 I would go home and watch TV and I even remember like all my birthday. 392 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:26,440 I pretended to go to school, but then after like my parents left for work, I just came 393 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,680 right back home and I watched TV. 394 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:34,560 So like I skipped school, like not to go anywhere, but like I just skip school just 395 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760 so I could stay at home and watch TV. 396 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,760 Yeah. 397 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,560 I didn't like go out to lunch. 398 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,080 I never skipped school with anybody. 399 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,920 And it's not like we have like a day to go to the same school. 400 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,760 So it's not like we would go and hang out. 401 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080 You know, I think that was probably for the best. 402 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,360 You and I would have gotten in a lot of trouble if we went to the same school. 403 00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,360 So wouldn't it be? 404 00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,720 So I just was like, yeah, I'm just not going to go to school today. 405 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,400 Like, and in my mind, I was like, oh yeah, I got like this many unexcused absences before 406 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,200 I graduate or before they start calling my parents. 407 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,440 So I was, I was, I was calculating. 408 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,920 I was like, yeah, it was bad. 409 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,000 And you think about that stuff. 410 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,280 And then you also think about, uh, I have this many unexcused absences before I can't 411 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,400 exempt in some of my exams at the end of the semester. 412 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,160 Oh yeah, man. 413 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,080 You think about all the little requirements and then you work around that side note. 414 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:35,560 I actually, one time I skipped school and this is my junior year, but I just remember, 415 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:41,100 I don't know, this, it was perfect because this guy had his girlfriend's house like right 416 00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:45,600 outside the high school and we had a class that was right outside and they would allow 417 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,960 you to walk outside between, you know, different parts of the school. 418 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,880 So we conjured up this plan. 419 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,120 We were like, yeah, it was like me and three other guys were like, yeah. 420 00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:57,320 So what we're going to do, he had his car parked right over there. 421 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,000 We're like, we're just going to walk over there. 422 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,000 There's a little fence. 423 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000 We're going to jump the fence. 424 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,360 We're going to get in the car and go and we'll be back before the next period. 425 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:06,160 Man, we, we got out there. 426 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,160 We start driving. 427 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,160 We're like, okay. 428 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,520 So what do we do? 429 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,720 We were like, so it was almost like prisoners in a prison break. 430 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,120 Like, but once we actually got out, we were like, okay, what are we going to do? 431 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:18,160 And he's just like, I don't know. 432 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,680 And then one person was like, you want to go to cracker barrel? 433 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:21,680 It's like, sure. 434 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,080 But then there was a bunch of 16 year olds who went to cracker barrel and then toys are 435 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,120 us and then went back for our next period. 436 00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,880 So what a wild time. 437 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,640 It is like, it is like prison. 438 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,920 And that's the difference like between high school and college. 439 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,280 Cause once you go to college, like you feel so free. 440 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,240 You feel like you can come and go as you please. 441 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,680 You don't feel like you're stuck there. 442 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,280 And so yeah, I totally get it, man. 443 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,240 I totally get it 100%. 444 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,240 But yeah. 445 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,240 Sorry mom. 446 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,880 If you're listening, which I know she is. 447 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,280 I was skipping school senior year. 448 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,720 Like I said, not a great time for Christopher. 449 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,080 I was skipping school and I was part of the police internship program. 450 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,680 So you do the math of how that worked out morally. 451 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,040 Hey, it worked out. 452 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,040 It worked out. 453 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,040 You're a great person now. 454 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,440 But speaking of bad times on myself. 455 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,440 Yeah. 456 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:19,600 Is there any time you want to ask me about that maybe, I don't know that you remember 457 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,320 that was interesting times for me. 458 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,880 Interesting times for you, man. 459 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,920 I know that because I was going to bring up the fact that you skipped football practice 460 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,880 to go go to work. 461 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,880 But we won't. 462 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,000 We won't divulge that story. 463 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,880 But yeah, I think it was, I think whenever this was kind of when our friendship was like 464 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:50,560 on the rocks and I was not in a good place and you were dating that girl, you know, who 465 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,560 I'm talking about. 466 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:52,560 And that. 467 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,560 Yeah. 468 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,480 And you just kind of seem like just miserable. 469 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,200 You were working at the airport. 470 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,160 You were like working really, really hard. 471 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,240 And you bro, you were just 16 hours. 472 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,920 16 hour days, bro. 473 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:11,960 And like I hardly ever saw you just because you were like, you were exhausted, man. 474 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,920 You kind of, you kind of just seemed like you were just, you were just surviving at 475 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,080 that point. 476 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,120 So how is that time for you? 477 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:21,560 Tell us, tell us a little bit. 478 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,320 You don't have to divulge all those secrets. 479 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,480 So it was actually interesting times. 480 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:32,080 So that particular, I guess you kind of have your first, your first major relationship or 481 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,400 your first like love, love that you have. 482 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,400 And that was her for me. 483 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,920 And you know, it was also one of those relationships to where you blow past a lot of red flags 484 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,760 and you try to make the puzzle piece fit even though it doesn't. 485 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,080 We've all had those relationships, right? 486 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,920 But I definitely have. 487 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,400 I'll be the first to raise both my hands for that. 488 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,400 Yeah. 489 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,400 It's just like, you see all the red flags. 490 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,360 I mean, there was so many red flags for her from the very beginning. 491 00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,240 Honestly, she didn't even want to date me. 492 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:04,120 And she told me that straight up from the beginning, but I wanted to date her. 493 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,760 And you know, anytime you put yourself in a situation where it's like they don't want 494 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,560 to and you try to force the issue. 495 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,320 I wouldn't say like they have the upper hand, but the kind of person that she was, she used 496 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,320 that to her advantage. 497 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,640 So that wasn't good. 498 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,680 But I'll just say this, man, it was a real toxic relationship. 499 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,560 And she was a very broken person. 500 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,840 And what's really hard about dating broken people is you want to try to fix them, right? 501 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,800 And you think, oh man, like nobody else can fix them, but I can because we have the special 502 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,960 connection and all this other stuff. 503 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:42,520 What that ended up getting me to was I ended up actually living with her. 504 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,280 And this was, I mean, I was fresh out of high school. 505 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:53,880 Like I had graduated in, when people graduate high school, May, I guess was where my graduation 506 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,240 was. 507 00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,960 And I was, I guess, living with her and her family by September, October, something like 508 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:01,960 that. 509 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,960 And I technically like I was living and that's the reason Chris wouldn't see me a lot is 510 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,120 because pretty much what happened is that family knew that I was working long hours. 511 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,960 They lived kind of right around the corner where our house was or where Chris and I were 512 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,240 living was about 30 minutes away from the airport. 513 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,080 So it was a little bit of a drive. 514 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,120 And most of the time I would get off at 12, one in the morning. 515 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,400 So they were just like, you know what, why don't you just come over here? 516 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,640 And so what had happened is, of course, I moved a bunch of my stuff over there. 517 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,080 So I was essentially living there, right? 518 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:41,320 What ends up happening is this was a very traditional Mexican home. 519 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:47,400 And basically, you know, the man brings in the money and the women take care of the rest. 520 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,200 And so pretty much that was my job. 521 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,800 And you put the money into the pool with the rest of the family. 522 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,280 So pretty much that's what happened was my paycheck went towards the family and paying 523 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,960 bills. 524 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:05,760 And so it was a real, you know, I was a part of the family for the most part. 525 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,280 Well, her stepfather, oh, by the way, guys, if you can hear a cat meowing in the background, 526 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,680 that is, yeah, we're fostering a cat right now and they're being very vocal. 527 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,000 So bear with us. 528 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,920 You get to hear them wanting to talk on the podcast. 529 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:26,000 But pretty much her stepfather actually, like the other man in the family pretty much passed 530 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,080 away unexpectedly. 531 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:34,280 And so that kind of fell to me and was working, was working, you know, 16 hours trying to 532 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,040 try to make that money. 533 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,880 And I'll tell you what, man, that was a that's a hard time for a 19 year old. 534 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200 I wasn't expecting all that. 535 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,160 Nothing really prepares you for that. 536 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,000 Especially, you know, most 19 year olds, they go out on their own, you know, get an apartment 537 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,500 first. 538 00:28:51,500 --> 00:28:54,840 And but it was full on, you know, taking care of a whole family. 539 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,840 So that's pretty crazy. 540 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,680 But yeah, man, so that was a crazy part of my life. 541 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,880 But I tell you what, man, we've also had some some great times as well. 542 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,400 And one that I want to talk about, and it's fairly recent, I wouldn't say fairly recent, 543 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,320 it's been over a year now. 544 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:19,200 But you know, Chris went from one business to another one industry to another, and actually 545 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,000 found his dream role, speaking of dream jobs, you know, in the dream profession that he wants 546 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,200 to be a part of. 547 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,800 Chris, I want you to talk about that a little bit, because, you know, that's awesome. 548 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,040 And especially anyways, I'll let you explain. 549 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,040 Oh, yeah. 550 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,680 So I saw it's actually kind of stepping back into that dream role. 551 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:46,200 Because so like before my divorce and everything, I was in ministry, I was a kid's pastor, then 552 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,240 going through the divorce and everything had to step out of it for a while, just to kind 553 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,280 of heal and, you know, get everything back on the right track. 554 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,280 Right. 555 00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:00,200 So it was it was it was definitely tough because walking through divorce was a hard season. 556 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:07,040 But man, man, it's going on two years almost, going back into ministry, man. 557 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,040 And I love it. 558 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,120 I get to teach kids about Jesus every day. 559 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,840 But more than that, I get to help other people who want to do that. 560 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:22,320 So I've been doing kids ministry for going on seven years now as staff and as like volunteers. 561 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,920 So I've been doing it for a while so I can help other people who want to do it. 562 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,760 But before that, I did like prison and youth ministry. 563 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,280 So not youth that are in prison, but I did youth ministry and prison ministry. 564 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:42,640 I went to Bible school, got all my Jedi powers so I can marry people and perform funerals. 565 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,160 But yeah, man, it's great. 566 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,280 I get to enjoy what I do every single day. 567 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,960 I get to help other people who are wanting to do the same thing, kind of help them get 568 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,600 to an elevated level, man. 569 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,720 And so it's really cool. 570 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,840 Never thought I'd get paid for doing something that I love, but you know, it's great. 571 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:00,840 Kids are awesome. 572 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,840 I get to be myself. 573 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,600 I get to tell awesome jokes. 574 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,560 And the cool thing about working with kids, sometimes it's better than working with adults 575 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,760 because kids like they get it and they don't have so many blocks and you can be fun and 576 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,240 goofy. 577 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,560 But at the still same time, like people underestimate kids and how smart they are. 578 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,120 So it's really cool, man. 579 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,000 But yeah, so that's a little bit about me stepping into my dream role. 580 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:31,520 I had one thing, one fun fact that people don't know about Micah is that Micah loves 581 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,360 to cook. 582 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,280 So Micah, when did your like love for cooking start? 583 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,560 I don't even know. 584 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:44,800 I kind of do remember as a kid even, and you know, maybe this was a different time. 585 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:50,200 Do you remember that, you know, like cable, prime time cable, there used to be like cooking 586 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,200 shows like that? 587 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,920 That's not a thing anymore for sure. 588 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:58,680 But you remember the Emeril Lagassee, like I remember he was a big one, be like 8pm, 589 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,320 like it would just be like on a prime time thing and he would like have his own cooking 590 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,040 show and stuff like that, or even like Rachel Ray at the time. 591 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,560 And you know, that's more like on food network stuff. 592 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,360 But I just remember watching that and even like Iron Chef, I don't know if you've ever 593 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:17,240 seen that before where it's like a competition show from the 90s where they have to cook 594 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,400 something from a secret ingredient and stuff. 595 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,000 And that's pretty cool. 596 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,920 But it wasn't until I moved out on my own. 597 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,160 And you know, you got to start cooking for yourself. 598 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,080 And I don't know. 599 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:32,160 Here's what's dumb, man. 600 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,520 I don't know if you were like this, but when I first got out on my own, I thought for whatever 601 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,840 reason, okay, you do what college kids do and eat ramen every meal. 602 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,120 And that's about how that's going to go. 603 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,080 And you know, I started doing that. 604 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,240 And I started actually having some health problems. 605 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,000 Like I wouldn't say health problems, but like minor health problems, right? 606 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,680 Like kind of blurred vision, some weird stuff going on, went to the doctor. 607 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,600 You know, the doctor tells me, yeah, it's because you can't eat ramen every freaking 608 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:03,600 meal. 609 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:07,000 It's full of salt and you have no meat protein. 610 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,920 Like there's nothing there really. 611 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,480 MSG, yeah. 612 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,360 And so it's like you're really not getting nourished at all. 613 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,840 And so I just remember that doctor saying, you know, if you're going to eat ramen, you 614 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:22,360 have to doctor it up or at least add some meat or protein or something to it. 615 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:28,240 And that's kind of how it weirdly started was, and you know, even whenever I was a kid, 616 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,760 summertime, I was a what they call a latchkey kid, right? 617 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,440 You had to stay inside and wasn't allowed to go outside. 618 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,560 And so sometimes I would start doctoring up some stuff. 619 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,440 And one thing that I would doctor up with seasoning was ramen, but I never like added anything 620 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:44,440 else to it. 621 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,640 So I already kind of knew how to tweak with some seasoning because of the back then. 622 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,800 And then I started adding like sausage or something like that to it, right? 623 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,080 Like you can go buy a pack of sausage real cheap. 624 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,600 So I cut some of that up, put it in there. 625 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,200 And it kind of became that way. 626 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,080 And then it became, okay, how can I make this? 627 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:07,320 And basically it became, how can I make this cheap food, not be cheap food or not feel like 628 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,440 cheap food, right? 629 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:16,320 And that's kind of how it started, you know, even like Chef Boyardy ravioli, there's some 630 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,480 things you could do to Chef Boyardy ravioli that makes it like, oh, shoot, that's, that's, 631 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,920 you know, you can't even really tell that comes from a can stuff. 632 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,680 And that's kind of just where it started. 633 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:33,680 And then after a while, what one of my main dishes that I really like to make is schnitzel 634 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:39,000 like German schnitzel, like it's pork and it's, yeah, our listener from Frankfurt is 635 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,760 probably like, oh yeah. 636 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,760 But it's really good. 637 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,760 My grandmother has a recipe. 638 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,920 And believe it or not, I didn't even ask her about it. 639 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,040 Literally I just, I had just seen her do it for years. 640 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,480 And I figured one day I bet I could replicate that. 641 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,040 And we had all the ingredients on hand. 642 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:57,720 So I replicate it. 643 00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:02,080 And I tell you, my wife devoured it, loved it. 644 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:08,480 And pretty much why I love cooking is, I don't know, it's a lot of times what I have issues 645 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,080 with in life is a lack of control. 646 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,840 I'm sure a lot of people can relate to that is, but cooking, you can control a lot of 647 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,840 aspects, right? 648 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,160 You can, you can control how fast you cook it, how slow you cook it, you can control 649 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,440 how big you dice the onions that are going to go. 650 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,760 I mean, you could scale up, scale down, you could micro manage the crap out of it, or 651 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,840 you can just enjoy yourself and be like, I don't really, you know, we're going to have 652 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,840 fun with it. 653 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:34,840 I don't know. 654 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,200 That's kind of what I like about it. 655 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,280 They said that if you work with your mind that you should rest with your hands. 656 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,680 And so like you, you do a lot of like, I would consider what you do working with your mind, 657 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:45,680 right? 658 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,000 You're not physically like doing a construction job. 659 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,520 So like cooking, you're able to physically prepare something with your hands and you're 660 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,480 able to have like a finished product. 661 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:59,120 And so you're like, Oh yeah, I can physically and tangibly see the results of the work that 662 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,440 I've done and you feel accomplished. 663 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,520 So I totally get it, man. 664 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:04,520 That's pretty cool. 665 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:09,280 Other than the schnitzel, are there any other favorite things that you like to cook? 666 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,800 Other things that I like to cook, I make a really good pasta. 667 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,920 I mean, pasta is super easy, right? 668 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:19,400 But that's one of those other ones that you find out you pull some pasta. 669 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:26,320 You can make sauces really out of anything and you know, go with it. 670 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,920 Schnitzel is the main bit, man. 671 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,760 Actually, you know, I just made some tonight for my wife and myself, but I can do a really 672 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,280 good potato soup too. 673 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,960 I love doing potato soup. 674 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:40,240 So yeah, there's quite a bit of stuff, man. 675 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:44,000 Like I probably, I'll probably think of a bunch more after we get off the podcast, right? 676 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,600 Be like, Oh yeah, I should have said that. 677 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,920 Well, that's great because I cannot like cook to save my life, bro. 678 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:55,760 I can cook like chicken and mac and cheese and I can cook a little bit, but man, the 679 00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:02,080 basics do, but like if it were up to me, I'd starve and my poor wife, whenever she met 680 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,040 me, bro, I was eating the Totino's pizzas. 681 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,920 I was eating the chef boy already. 682 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:12,200 I was eating the bachelor food and dude, I cannot eat chef boy already anymore. 683 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,440 Like I just, I've eaten so much of it that I just can't. 684 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,720 But yeah, just makes you sick. 685 00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:19,720 Yeah. 686 00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:24,480 My brother actually went to culinary school and so he could cook phenomenally, but like 687 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,640 my gift is not cooking. 688 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:32,880 Every time I watch Hell's Kitchen, I'm like, man, if I was on that show, I would die. 689 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:38,160 I was like, that is not my gift, but I enjoy watching people cook and I enjoy that. 690 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,440 It's not fun for me. 691 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,680 I will clean, so I have no problem washing the dishes. 692 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,600 So that's kind of our deal. 693 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,280 If my wife cooks nine times out of 10, I'll wash the dishes. 694 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,400 So that's like my contribution to that. 695 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,280 But heck, man, even camping, it's like, I'm camp chef. 696 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,520 You can't be washing the dishes afterwards. 697 00:37:58,520 --> 00:37:59,520 Yeah, bro. 698 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,520 I don't care. 699 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,080 Like, I would like, dude, I'll wash the dishes. 700 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,080 Like, I don't care. 701 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,080 You cook. 702 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,760 So, but yeah, man, it's pretty cool. 703 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:12,320 So kind of shifting gears a little bit, talking about season two, we just capped it. 704 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,720 What are some of your favorite things about season two? 705 00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,600 Or you're like, man, we really improved on this. 706 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:27,280 I think, honestly, we, something was different about the flow each time that I listened from 707 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:32,680 last season to this season or like the beginning of season two to now. 708 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,440 I feel like we're a lot smoother in what we're saying. 709 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,720 I feel like we're getting a lot. 710 00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:42,120 I know this sounds dumb because even a year in, we were a lot more comfortable than when 711 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:47,920 we started, but still getting very, very comfortable in the flows and what we do and what we do 712 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,920 well. 713 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:53,400 And I really think that we're honing in some of those things that we're doing well. 714 00:38:53,400 --> 00:39:00,240 You know, what I like about it is because of course we listen to each week as well. 715 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:06,800 But from my personal opinion and tell me if you think differently, there are some weeks, 716 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,800 we're all human, right? 717 00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,080 There are some weeks where we have better weeks than others. 718 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:16,760 And I feel like we've gotten to the point now where even between clever editing from 719 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:22,880 Chris and kind of where we are, I can't really tell too much anymore. 720 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,560 Oh, that was when I was having a bad week. 721 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,160 Like sometimes you can, but not really anymore. 722 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:33,920 And used to, I feel like in the first season, parts of the second season, like early on, 723 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,000 I felt like that was something that you could really see. 724 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,200 Or I can definitely tell like, yeah, I was off this weekend or I was off this week, you 725 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:42,200 know what I mean? 726 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,200 Yeah, for sure, man. 727 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:48,840 I, again, I feel like going back and listening to it, I can definitely tell that there was 728 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:54,560 like a lid on myself and you because we're like very careful what we're going to say 729 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:59,920 and how are people going to perceive this, but I feel like this season, like they've 730 00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:02,040 gotten to know more of us. 731 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,280 And so we've gotten to, we've gotten to just be able to flow and groove. 732 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:10,400 One thing that we did find our groove on the donut hole, I have been enjoying the quizzes 733 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,840 and I feel like those have been a good thing that kind of helped beef up the show and adding 734 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:21,840 segments like the Taiyo shoes, could you trip in or the your fired segment? 735 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,440 I think those have been great segments, man. 736 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,560 So changing it up, keeping it fresh in certain ways, in certain areas, you know, that's been 737 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:30,560 really fun. 738 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,640 Even with like the free flowing, I've enjoyed that. 739 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:34,800 It's been good. 740 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,840 I've enjoyed it so much. 741 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:45,080 The one thing I do like more about season one, I do enjoy the intros more from season 742 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:51,800 one and I do enjoy like the stories because those are some of our like best stories are 743 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:59,000 in season one, just with like the camping trip and like maybe, maybe season towards the end 744 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,680 of season three or season four won't go back and retell those stories because not everybody 745 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,160 has heard them, but I definitely enjoy those. 746 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:12,200 But like it was so cool thinking up like the Valentine's Day or the Christmas episode. 747 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,240 That was like one of our first ones. 748 00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:19,640 And I, I know that like this past one was good, but I hands down still one of my favorite 749 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:25,400 episodes of all time is the first Christmas one. 750 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:31,240 My all time favorite episode though is the first Valentine's Day one from beginning to 751 00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:32,240 end. 752 00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:33,240 Yeah, that was hard to tell. 753 00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:37,280 Like it's, it's like from beginning to end, it's just such a solid episode. 754 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:42,240 It makes me laugh so hard, especially so hands down, I would say that's probably the best 755 00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:44,120 intro that we did. 756 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:49,600 And for those of you who don't remember it, it's the intro where it was the radio show 757 00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:58,880 and it's oral expressions and we're talking about if you've never heard Sunday slow jams. 758 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,880 That's what we were going for with that. 759 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,200 And man, I think every time I, every time I listen back to it, I just, I just crack 760 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,880 up because it's just such a great, it was, you know, every Sunday, it was like every 761 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,880 Sunday you could tune in and you would hear it and it's just, it was so dead on. 762 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,840 The Christian radio one was pretty good intro wise. 763 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:23,360 And then there was another one that I was like, I think when we did gangsters paradise, 764 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,080 I thought that one was pretty good for last, we did that for last Christmas. 765 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,680 I don't know why we did that for last Christmas, but it was still pretty good. 766 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:31,720 Well, and think about this. 767 00:42:31,720 --> 00:42:37,640 We also made our first animated video this year, kind of jumping over to, you know, YouTube 768 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,160 and what we've done kind of in our other work over here. 769 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:45,480 You know, think about it, that's, that's, we've had our first content that we've done 770 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:53,240 together put out this year, you know, since, since a long time, you know, we haven't put 771 00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:55,240 content in a very long time. 772 00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:56,240 Yeah, since 2012. 773 00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,240 Since 2012, I think. 774 00:42:58,240 --> 00:42:59,240 Or 2011. 775 00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:03,880 That was like our last time that we actually made an official video together. 776 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,080 No, it was 2012 because that's when we made the cops video. 777 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:08,720 Yeah, it was 2012. 778 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,640 Which you can find all that on TV trash can.com. 779 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:17,600 But you know, it's just amazing how, how much we've done. 780 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:22,960 I mean, trash can travel, that section of YouTube is really blown up with, with a lot 781 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,960 of views. 782 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:28,280 If we have any listeners from there, welcome from that, from that area. 783 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,280 Plane Lovers Unite, I'm sure that's why you're here. 784 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,560 You're probably disappointed because I don't talk about planes on here at all very much 785 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,280 besides Donut Holds. 786 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,360 We're gonna like, I don't know, have one episode where you just talk about planes the whole 787 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,360 time. 788 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:44,360 It can be like a. 789 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,840 Oh man, you heard it here first. 790 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:46,840 We're gonna have the plane episode. 791 00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,640 It will be a bonus episode. 792 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,120 It won't be like a regular Donut Box podcast episode. 793 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,280 It can just be like a bonus episode. 794 00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,840 It's like an optional, an optional if you want to listen to an episode, I guess. 795 00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,800 Yeah, I think we should do that, bro. 796 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:01,800 Sounds good. 797 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,960 We get, we can do it for, for that fan base. 798 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:10,120 So heck yeah, but you know, something that I'm super excited for talking about the future 799 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:11,640 in season three. 800 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:17,760 You know, kind of what I was alluding to before and how, you know, each season we've 801 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:22,800 kind of gotten more in our groove and how you've talked about, you know, how we have 802 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,560 gotten looser and how we've talked about more things. 803 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,360 And I'm really thinking season three, man. 804 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,800 I've already started working on some content for the next episode. 805 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,440 And I don't know when I say edgy, I'm not talking about being like super weird and out 806 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:44,600 there, but at the same time, like cussing, those things that we found off limits before 807 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,600 maybe they're not off limits. 808 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,840 Yeah, we're not talking about cussing like a sailor or anything like that, but you are 809 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,400 going to get to know the dark side, not just kidding, not the dark sides, but like the 810 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:55,400 dark side. 811 00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:01,200 We're not serial killers, but pulling back the layers, man, pulling back the layers. 812 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,240 Like there was a period in our friendship that we were not friends that we did not speak 813 00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:06,520 to each other for a while. 814 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,920 So you guys will probably get to hear about that. 815 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:15,200 So the nitty gritty, the real life, true crime. 816 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:16,200 Just kidding. 817 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,200 There is no true crime. 818 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,520 There was no crime in that one. 819 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,120 Besides we weren't friends for a little bit. 820 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,880 There was a crime, but it is what it is. 821 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,960 So of course you'll have to find that out on a future episode. 822 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,880 But but yeah, we'll talk about a lot of that stuff. 823 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:34,720 We'll talk about, you know, for me too, I was thinking about what fries my donuts. 824 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:39,600 And you know, Chris, we have a we have beef with a lot of things and there are some topics 825 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:44,320 that we stay away from, but at the same time, it's like, you know what, if we have beef 826 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,400 about it and fries our donuts, maybe we should go into it. 827 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,000 Not going to get too crazy, but you know what I mean? 828 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,320 So look forward to that as well. 829 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,120 And can I add can I talk about family? 830 00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,760 Yeah, your family. 831 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:00,760 I'm just kidding. 832 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:01,760 I'm just kidding. 833 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,760 Yeah, let's divulge it. 834 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:04,760 Let's go out. 835 00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,480

00:46:26,320 I'll just go on comedic. 844 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:31,680 I call them comedic tirades where I pop off about something that's like not really that 845 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,160 big of a deal like Halloween. 846 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,720 Like I'll pop off about it and people find it funny. 847 00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:39,000 I don't know why they do, but they find it funny. 848

00:46:45,880 I'm the same way. 852 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:51,960 Um, yeah, that's, that's why we're friends because we go on comedic tirades about, about 853 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,680 Halloween's
