I'm Micah and I'm Chris and this is the Donut Box Contest
Well, man, I think it's time to take the donut box from the counter in this opposite episode
Yep, we're doing everything in reverse the show from beginning to end
Except what the Bible says the first shall be last and the last shall be first and speaking of last just kidding
TV trash can dot com TV trash can dot com go like us
Subscribe share all the good things is is that where they can go? Yeah TV trash can dot com and then also all of our social
Media's Instagram Facebook all that good jazz. So wherever you're listening from come like us come follow us come talk to us
We love it. So we can also if you're good with the man
We can actually move into our eclair which is our positive advice and I think I went
First last time so I think I technically get to go first again this time
Technically because a lot shall be so my positive advice is to think outside the box man
It's easy to get into a habit into a routine
And you just get comfortable with things but think outside the box, you know
You don't always have to do things by the status quo
And so there are a lot of people that they're really good at that me
I'm not that great at it thinking outside the box is kind of hard for me sometimes
But it is good once you think outside the box it brings fresh perspective and it helps
Revitalize some things that you've been needing to do whether that's work wise whether that's in your life
Just get creative with it, you know tap into those creative juices and some people are like oh well
I'm not creative, but everybody's creative in some
Shape form or fashion. You just don't know it. So yeah, mine is think outside the box
Awesome man and mine is be mindful of how you talk with yourself, right and what I'm talking about, you know, I've been going through
I would say
It's been kind of a hectic time, right and I did something the other day
I was actually moving something big from the storage unit over to another location and
Wouldn't you know it? Have you ever gotten in your own way? I know I know we all have right but in my car
the seats fold down right and
I for some reason fold it up the seats full on knowing I'm gonna be bringing this big oblong shape
Item out and putting it in the car, right? And so here I go. I open up the storage unit
I walk all the way out there with this big heavy item
It's all walkie weird and everything and you know you set it down to put it in there and you go oh man
Why the heck did I put the seats up right? You're all out of breath and you're extra tired
You're like why did I put that obstacle in place now easily and I have in the past and we've all been kind of guilty of it
Like man, Mikey you such an idiot like why'd you put the seats back up?
It is so important to talk to yourself. Well in those moments you're you have the right to make mistakes
We all do everybody can't be a hundred percent all the time and sometimes your brain ticks a little funny and sometimes you make mistakes
especially when you're tired, so I just invite you and encourage you to
Think about how you're talking to yourself and how I'm trying to think about it is
You know if I was somebody else right if the if the president of the United States walked in the room
How would I talk with him if Jesus walked in the room right now?
How would I talk with him right or you know really anybody of
Significance and importance. How would I talk with them? I've talked to them with the utmost respect and you know
Wouldn't wouldn't they say and things like that and it's important to do that to yourself as well because you deserve that
Especially when it's coming from yourself so positive self-talk is very important. Yeah, it is for sure man
Hey, I like starting off the donut box podcast with some positive advice. It's kind of nice. Yeah, it is nice and refreshing
Jump right to it nice and encouraging things to get you going on your Monday morning
And like what like I said dig outside the box and that's what we're doing
But uh, yeah, man, I think we're good to move into our next segment, which is the mystery donut
And that's our improv segment so Michael. What do we have on the improv segment?
You know, I know we did this a couple weeks ago man, but at the same time
I I love bad sermons. We're not necessarily gonna do bad sermons, but I just definitely want to do
I say we do black preacher voice man. Like where do you think we should be? We haven't picked a location. Oh, I have a great one
a great one
Out christmas shopping out christmas shopping. Okay sounds good man. So
Uh, sounds like the black preacher is gonna be over at the mall
They're not even necessarily, you know, we always call them black preachers, but you know
It's it's the style more than anything, right? It's that southern it's that southern
Preaching southern gospel preacher. I guess is what you can call it more than anything. Right? Exactly. All right, man
Well, we can go ahead and get that started. Um, you want to start? Yeah, I'll start go for it
Oh and brother we're here at the mall today to get the christmas shopping done because we haven't got it done
Because we're so busy doing the work of the lord and I see all these stores around
And I see it like how it's the kingdom of heaven because Jesus
It's everything that you need in one basket. I'm telling you and as we're shopping for this christmas season
We got to remember that Jesus. I said Jesus
Uh, Jesus is the reason
For the season whether it's jc penny
Old macy's or the dillard's down the hall. It don't matter where you go this christmas
It's about jesus and what it says abundantly in the bible. It says in aphesians 2 9
It's not something you did that you could be proud of because you witnessed stolen you spit more than you asked for
And what you couldn't have your means for and now you're gonna ask the lord for manner from heaven
Even though it's only a week away and you're gonna say jesus
I need you to give me the check that I cashed
Even though I didn't have the means I didn't have the funds
But he's gonna provide for you because even though you've made the mistakes
Everybody's made the mistakes. Oh lord brother. I made mistakes in my time
But like it says in aphesians
It's nothing not something you did that you could be proud of but what it'll be
It isn't gonna be a story that you could tell to your children and your children's children
Well, I'm telling you this brother Williams. I'm being led to the footlocker
Because I see a pair of air Jordans
That are taking me
To the glory of glories
It said he who dwells in the secret place
And that means the footlocker
Will abide in the shadow of the almighty and he said trust in the lord
And he'll give you the desires of your heart
And I think I'm desiring them Air Force ones. I think I'm desiring those air Jordans
I think I'm desiring those new dockets
With the blue and black gold trim halloween and the next stop after that
I feel the lids in my heart. Oh Jesus
Because what we're gonna do is we're gonna get us some sports teams
We're gonna get us and brought it on the side. We're gonna have brother Williams
Right on the side of the hat
Because what's gonna happen is I'm gonna go in there
I'm gonna find my favorite sports team
And I'm gonna pick the hat and I'm gonna lift it up and I'm gonna say lord
When I go out in the streets and they see brother Jetson on the side of the Dallas Cowboys hat
They will know that it's not just the Cowboys
But it's brother Jetson
over at fake alive revival center
That has the hat and that he will help them and he
Can lead them to the lord this holiday season
Amen hallelujah. Oh and brother
It says taste and see
That the lord is good and I'm feeling
Let to go to the orange juice
I'm led to go to the auntie and pretzel factory
I'm led to go to the
meanwhile
Chinese walk for fame
Can I get an amen amen? Oh lord?
I'll tell you what the holy spirit told me one more thing right now and he said the cinnabon
Is having a sale on all this stuff right now and if you want dessert
That is the place to go because the cinnabon is anointed from the lord that
Oh, Jesus
What happens is they come out and it's so warm and they put the snow they put all the
Sherby's chocolate on top of it and then you have yourself a chocolate cinnamon bun because it is of the lord
And that's what he said to do on today and that is the day let me tell you brother
Let's go ahead and pray this out
Because I got a prayer beat. I mean our elders beat. I mean a check forward meeting that I got to get to
So let's go ahead and pray. Let's bow ahead and close our eyes. Dear lord. We thank you
That we're here at the mall today. We thank you for the jc penny
We thank you for the macy's
We thank you for the footlocker
Lord, we even thank you for the game stop and I'm feeling in my spirit
That some of y'all need to go to the lens crafters
Because you need to get your sight adjusted
Because we walk by faith and not by sight
And some of you need to get your vision adjusted
And you can't go to lens crafters
But you got to go to the spirit crafters because he's the only one that can give you the vision
To walk by faith and lord I pray for all the individuals who go to the non-safety stores in your eyes
The hot topic the spits gifts the only hot topic is the name of Jesus
And we pray that they see that this holiday season that they don't see the Santa Claus downstairs
And they said oh they lack but but no they can sit on the lap of Jesus
That's what we need this holiday season and lord I pray that they see that
Through everything that they do through all the overspending and the stress that they have that lord
They will see that it ain't about Santa Claus, but it's about Jesus Christ
That was our mystery donut. That was pretty good, man because they're it that is just like a uh buffet of
illustrations that a preacher can use is going into the mall so uh yes they can it's it's a
cornucopia of what we could have went with there and uh
Yeah, man. It was great. I love that time
But let's segue into our next segment, which is what fries my donuts and what fries your donuts, buddy
Bro, I can't stand youtube influencers. I'm pretty sure I've talked about this before but man
Um, and you know, I am I'm you know, I'm not calling out my wife
But this is how I know about this stuff
Otherwise, I really wouldn't know about any of this stuff
But my wife likes to watch a lot of this stuff, man
Bro, this this stuff is just straight garbage. These people are garbage and what I really don't understand is
You know, and it's big on youtube and these people are making money good for them for making money
What I really don't understand and what makes me mad about this
Why in the heck are people surprised when it's like these people turn out to be bad people?
We we knew this already, right? These people and you know, I'm gonna throw some names under the bus
There's a dude out there named Peter Bond. I don't know the other
Dude folks, I just know him because I you know, I see him all the time on my tv on my big screen tv
He's always sitting there talking about everybody else and all this person and that person and whatever and it's just like bro
You know
Y'all all friends on the side. I know y'all are it's all a cash grab and a big old circle. That's what it is
It's everybody talks crap about everybody else
But I guess what I really don't understand what you know and cash grabs are cool and whatnot
But it sucks so many people in and it's amazing how many views these people get
Right and the thing is it's like there'll be people
That they know are sexual predators or like really bad people right done bad stuff in the past
And then when they continue that behavior the whole entire career
Is pretty much talking mess about oh these people are bad people
Well, no duh they've been bad people since the freaking beginning before they even started on this crap
And my thing is most of the time what's weird is it's supposed to be like about makeup, right?
But they never talk about the makeup like it's never about the actual product. It's all about the drama about it
I just think the whole entire thing is stupid and there's so many people
And I guess what pisses me off is there's so many people on youtube making money talking about the same old stories on repeat
And then if there's new stories, it's like bro. That's not really surprising
But based on what you said before like what what why is this even a thing? Why do people keep getting in this trap of
You know, it's not even to me. Listen. I we call ourselves trash can TV. I love some trashy TV
I love some good marie jerry springer. You know, you name it. I love it
But you know this crap this isn't good trashy TV, right? Like they could even you know
I guess that's what it is, right? It's a big circle cash grab at least make the stories entertaining or something
Or changing up every now and then it's just for me, bro
It's garbage and these people are making millions and it's it's just garbage
So I'm I'm confused. Did peter mon do something bad. Are you just talking about him talking about bad people?
I'm talking about those people in general. There's him. There's like a bunch of other people pretty much
Every time I so I don't we can go in on peter mon real quick
So he talks about these people like jeffree star and shane dawson and all these other people
I don't really know anything about he's still talking he's still talking about that. That's what I'm saying
That's the part that makes me mad is it's just like bro. That was what like four or five years ago
Like what's what's happening now or they're talking about this other person at her name's callin something
And it was because she was this popular influencer
Whatever, right? And they were all friends with peter mon. Oh, it's a crap
And then all of a sudden she was like talking to underage kids and like selling them panties or some crap
And then he's been talking about that for ages and it's just like bro
Why do people keep watching this and keep giving money for the same stories on repeat?
And then the other times I'll tell you why because people love gossip and those people can milk the gossip for it's like
They can just add maybe like one nugget of new information
Um to keep people like on the hook, but people love gossip until it's about them
That's really what it boils down to I think what makes me mad more than anything is
A lot of these people are just straight fleeced into thinking that this is all real
Most of it is not real most of it is they realized how they can get views and cash grabs
And they're all working in a giant circle to get the views and the money. That's really what's happening
Um, and so it's happening a lot of circles, but I you know for me
It's just in the other part and this is kind of small
We've talked about it before on this podcast, but peter bond in particular what I don't like about him is
99% of the time besides the Shane Dawson jeffree star stuff that he's been going on for forever
It's literally and if you're into this sort of thing cool
I just don't get it this dude. He literally will talk about his life. He'd be like, yeah, so I went to the store
And there was this guy there and he was in line
And pretty much what happened was he was buying tape and it'll be like a 15 minute story about this dude buying tape in front of him
And it'll be about nothing and you're just like
A lot of people take time out of their day to me time is very valuable, right?
Like I wish I had an abundant amount of time to just listen to some guy talk about what he did today
But to me my time so valuable I could give two cracks about what he did today, right?
Like as bad as that is to say, but I think what what bothers me is for me in my mind and maybe
This is the the root of the issue of what we're talking about right now. If you're making buku's of money
Let's let's make it about talent or something that's special, right?
Let's let's make it about something that you can do that is special or different than the rest of the populist
Anybody can get on there and talk about what they did today
Like why are they the ones making millions of dollars, right? That doesn't make any sense
like to me it doesn't make any sense of
Why can certain people do that make millions of dollars?
But it just doesn't I guess it just doesn't make sense to me and then at the same time
It's just like I don't understand why it's so popular
I think it's more or less people fall in love with I guess maybe their persona because like for me
Like there's a guy that I listed to named Jim cornet and he just reviews stuff and rest of like he's an old wrestling guy
Like was in the business forever and like I don't always agree with his opinions or what he has to say about things
But like he is so funny to listen to
Like just him reviewing stuff that like that's why I keep watching him because I'm like oh
I'm wrestling like stuff is always happening. So I'm like, oh, I wonder what Jim cornet has to say about this
Like even though like I I may or may not agree with him
But I totally get it man. If you're just I'm like, how come I can't do that
Maybe it's just a persona thing. I don't know but I'm just like why
Why do people choose to watch that stuff? Like I don't I don't get it man. I don't understand even even to a deeper scope
Right. Um, now don't get me wrong. Some of these videos instagram reels. I'm not on tiktok
But let's be honest instagram reels is mostly the same thing. So for me, especially like my wife
She's in on a lot of I wouldn't say it ain't on a lot of those circles
But she knows who a lot of the people are. There'll be a lot of times where it'll be even in the sports world
It'll be like so and so is throwing out the first pitch
And I'm like who the heck is that and they'll be like, oh, you don't know them there from tiktok and whatever
What's crazy to me is these people could be elevated to a celebrity status because they're making
Shorts that are 30 seconds long. Like that's insane to me
Like I don't I don't know why you know, like it was one thing when okay, it's like
Tom Cruise, right? Yeah, naturally he's a celebrity because there's very few people who are very popular actors
Things like that, right? So if you see them in the street, but it's incredible because
Basically anybody can do it, right? It just and but it could just hit it big and then before you know
It's just like, okay, you know, you're throwing first pitches out
It's just crazy to me that because to me most of them just don't have any real talent
But they're making millions of dollars
It's just crazy to me say this last thing and I'm then I'll get off it
But I think as an actor
I think I would be
Frustrated at those people because like you work and you struggle and you're going from like audition to audition to audition
And then someone can get famous in like 30 seconds from home, you know, it's like that would kind of make me mad a little bit
I think oh, yeah, especially if you've been you know, because most actors what
What most people don't understand is the market's been saturated for actors for a long time
But you know, most people have gone to drama school
Done a lot of you know, they've they've worked really hard once you get into movies
Unless you get really lucky somehow or know somebody, you know, you really have to work at it and even those bit roles
Like everybody thinks movie stars make a boo boo's of money unless you're a big name guy
You really don't like you can even have
Big spots, right where people will see you in things
Um, what was I reading the other day? There was some big time movie where it was like
It was a supporting role for sure
But they only made like 50k for the role and it was a big movie and it was just like really and you know come to find out most
Small time actors, right the B rated actors that are trying to make it. They just don't make any money either
So I can imagine why they'd be upset. But yeah, we can move off of that
it's just we live in weird times and
To me, I guess the root of it all is
I don't see these guys is actually having any sort of actual talent anybody can do that. Why are they making millions of dollars?
That's the bottom line. Yeah, I totally get it man. I feel the same exact way. So no talent frauds
phony a big fat phony
That's from uh, that's from good old family guy. I want a very first episode
It's okay, man, but we can move into our next segment, which is the first one we have to go
We have some trivia for you now
It's not a christmas story trivia. It's the christmas story trivia
So it's about uh, the christmas nativity the birth of christ trivia for you
So it's if I get it wrong
Then uh, it's kind of very bad on me, right? Well, I don't know
No, especially since you did that like uh, you're doing the pastor thing at the beginning. I'm not sure
I tried not to make them too hard. I tried to throw some easy one ones in there
I'm not I mean, I didn't make it like super easy like oh, yeah, who was born on christmas jesus
jesus
Was it barabas?
Yeah, oh, I gotta tell you a funny story about barabas and a little bit, but I'll tell you that after the podcast
But anyways, I have um, so it's technically 12 questions, but two of them are true and false
Or sorry, true or false. So 10 multiple choice two true or false. Are you ready?
Yeah, man, let's do it. Okay. So there are four gospels in uh, the new testament the gospels tell about Jesus's birth life
Death resurrection, right?
So which one of the four gospels is the only one to not
Not mention Jesus's birth or his beginning
Matthew mark lucor john, I believe it's john correct
Uh, it's actually mark. I thought it was the last book in the the order which was
john
But am I I guess i'm wrong on that john technically mentions is the beginning because it says in the beginning was the word the word was with god
So that's technically kind of a I don't know that's a not trick question
But it's definitely a it was one of the more difficult questions for you. Hey, but um, I get you though
I was I thought you were about to ask me which word before about so I was like, oh, Matthew mark lucan john
This one's a true or false
True or false Jesus was actually born in a cave. Uh, false. Uh, it's actually true. So the uh, the whole stable and uh
all that stuff like uh, a lot of historians believe that Jesus was actually born in still in a manger
But uh, it was like an actually it was actually in a cave like kind of a sidebar
So, okay, I mean, I guess that would make sense right because you know the land of israel and a lot of that region
You know, they have a lot of hills, but the rock hills right so I can almost see them
I mean just like the tomb, you know that Jesus was buried in was
Inside of a rock and the door was made of a rock, right?
So I can also see it being like instead of building a barn or a stable just digging to the rock and it's a shelter
I'm gonna go bible nerd on on you guys for a little bit and so sorry if you guys are like, oh my gosh
This is just getting away there
So when it says that there was no room for mary and joseph in the inn
It's not like an actual inn or a hotel that like people stay out now
It was more or less like a guest room and like a family member's house
So when they said there was no room for them, it was like they were trying to stay with family and there was just no room for them
And their guest room so and they had like a cave that was kind of almost connected to the house
So that's probably where Jesus
You know, this might sound kind of and I hope this isn't learning any other questions that you have here
but um
Something that I didn't realize until like high school. I heard the story a ton, right?
But I did not realize that this is another kind of biblical side note here
um
That they had to go to joseph and mary had to go to Bethlehem because joseph was from Bethlehem and they had a census
and if
And the way the romans were conducting it is you had to go up to
Wherever you were from to be counted and so that's why they had to make the whole journey
Because for me as a kid as weird as it is like my mind, I guess blocked out the part that they had a census
So I was just like oh well they had a travel. Well, I don't know
um
but just in case uh
Y'all didn't know even though it's written there
But that was kind of later on when I was going back through it. I was just like, oh, okay, that makes sense
Speaking of census this brings us to the next question. What was the name of the emperor that decreed the census that forced mary and joseph to travel?
A. Julius Caesar B. Tiberius C. Nero or D. Caesar Augustus?
Nero, correct?
Actually Caesar Augustus my man. Was it Nero after that? Yeah, Nero was like way Nero was like after Jesus is dead
So technically do you remember that play Julius Caesar? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah
So Caesar Augustus actually uh his is actually Octavian
Oh from that so that's who that actually is. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. You know another side of the order
Kind of breaking it down here. That's actually one of my favorite. I'm not big on
Theater, you know a ton of theater performances. That's actually one of my favorite Julius Caesar
A2 Brute I have no clue why that one sticks with me, but there you go
Uh, okay. What did joseph do for a living? Was he a shepherd? A fisherman? A carpenter or a merchant?
Man, he was a carpenter. Yeah, there you go. Town. Did Mary and Joseph have to travel from not travel to but where did they have to travel from?
A. Nazareth B. Jerusalem C. Bethlehem or Deesa Maria? Dang, I have to think actually. No, it was Nazareth.
That is correct. That's where they had to travel to. All right. This one is a true or false question
True or false the wise men were there when Jesus was first born. They were still on the way
They saw the star and headed there. That's actually a lot of that's also kind of a
Misconception to like you have the nativity scene and the wise men are there, but they didn't get there till almost two years later
That's what I was saying most or that's what I was about to say is
I've heard a lot of historians say that it's kind of debated like a year or two years
But you know, he was born they saw the star and I mean they had to literally travel all that way
They didn't see him until he was in fifth toddler stage
Number seven the angel Gabriel said that Jesus would also be named. What?
A. Jehovah Jireh B. Emanuel C. Noel or D. Saint Nick? Dude, it's Saint Nick
What were the what were the first three options?
A. Jehovah Jireh B. Emanuel C. Noel or D. Saint Nick?
Jehovah Jireh
It's actually Emanuel
Said I need to read again
Uh, all right number eight
Where did Joseph and his family have to flee to when Herod was going to kill them?
A. Ethiopia B. Italy C. Asia or D. Egypt?
That is correct. In what city was Jesus born?
A. Jerusalem B. Corinth C. Bethlehem or D. Nazareth?
That was Bethlehem. There you go. All right, three more. What was not one of the gifts that the wise men brought to Jesus?
A. Gold B. Cinnamon C. Frankincense or D. Mer?
Man, they they didn't bring those cinnamon now even though back then cinnamon was a hot commodity
But I remember being like what in the heck is uh, I knew what gold was but frankincense and mer
I was like what the heck is that but apparently they're incenses and that was a big deal. Yeah, that's incense and mer is like, uh
For death like preserving and stuff. So that is one. All right
um
Number 11 the Old Testament prophet said that Jesus would be a descendant of who?
A. Noah B. Sampson C. Paul or D. David was David correct? That is correct. There's the whole thing
I've heard other preachers and everything said and so I can have Jesus could come down the lineage and from David
You know because David did a whole bunch of messed up stuff Jesus's name in Hebrew is a shortened version of which other famous
Bible characters name
A. Joshua B. Moses C. Noah or D. David?
Oh, I actually don't know this one here. Let me see if I can guess here
Um, you said it was short for another name. What was one of the options again?
Um, his name in Hebrew. So Jesus is the Greek
Or yeah, Jesus is the Greek version, but his name in Hebrew is a shortened version of which other famous Bible characters name
A. Joshua B. Moses C. Noah or D. David?
You know, I'm gonna do Joshua because I know it's Yeshua. That's correct. So I'm gonna go Joshua. Yep. Yeah, Yeshua
Yeah, it's like basically it's like Yeshua is the shortened form of Joshua
Right, so Joshua means the Lord is our salvation
Um, but Yeshua means the Lord saved subtle difference. Well, good job, man. I got most of them, right?
I just uh, I need to brush up on the small details like Caesar, Augustus and stuff
But for the most part it's all still there. Yeah, man. All good stuff. So uh, yeah
Jesus is the reason for the season my man and ain't saying the claws. All right, man. You already do the jelly donut
Why do you say private pile? Sir jelly donut sir. A jelly donut. Yes, sir. And I got some uh,
Which is our jail report. I got some uh, Christmas arrest stories for you. Oh, dude, let's do it
Florida mother gotta love those Florida people
A Florida mother was recently arrested for allegedly lying about a burglar stealing Christmas gifts for her kids
After the community came together, uh, and donated several gifts to this lady
The leek county sheriff's office got a tip stating that the original gifts were never stolen and were actually hidden at her relatives house
So they sent the Grinch to help take her into custody then post the video on social media
The lady was arrested on charge of fraud slash false reports of law enforcement
So they got the Grinch and to put her in handcuffs man. Well, I mean that was a that was a good way to do it
That's not like something some of my family would do to be honest with you
It's bad as that is to say I was thinking about several family members of like if I got a phone call that they were getting arrested for doing that
Yeah, yeah, it's really messed up though because it's like you're taking advantage of um
Of people's kindness, right? Like you're saying oh, I need gifts and all this stuff
But you're really taking advantage of other people. Can I tell a side story right quick? It is a family story
But this is this was around Christmas. So I've got um, I've got a couple but
I'll just do one. So I've got this aunt and she's got this daughter and
Uh, pretty much Christmas was happening on a weekend one year
And it was on a Saturday and I remember we were going to have Christmas in the morning initially, you know gifts and stuff like that
Um with family, but then we had to push it to the afternoon
And it was like, okay. Well this one cousin from Oklahoma can't come in till the afternoon or whatever, right?
And so it's like, okay fine. So we all go to dinner when they finally do get there that evening and somebody finally asked my cousin like hey
so, you know, um
Why why it takes a long to get here because it's only like a three four hour drive
And she goes, oh, we had to wait for the Salvation Army to uh to bring the gifts in the turkey dinner
Like the Christmas turkey dinner to us and we're like the Salvation Army
Like and they just like bought a new car and like had done a whole bunch of other stuff. But at the same time
they were like all food stamps and had the Salvation Army delivering them presents and all sorts of stuff and they had pond or
Schemed it off like they were needy and they were not needy at all. So it was uh,
Like I said, I could see my family doing some some ish like that
Since I do work for the church
It is kind of sad because a lot of times around this time of year a lot of people are calling and they make their rounds
So the churches to try to get help
Because they spent all their money on Christmas gifts like they spent the rent money and then they're trying to get the church to pay for
Their rent. So it's it's just yeah, I know we're joking about it with the improv stuff about, you know
Spitting too much, but that is a very real thing this time of year. Yes, it is. All right, uh, okay
A cedar rapids man was arrested Wednesday on charges
When he stole extension cords and related items from public holiday displays around
Cedar Rapids, which was keeping uh, it made the Christmas displays
dark
This man was arrested on three counts of fifth degree theft and one count of
Criminal mischief and a legal possession of prescription drugs. So the guy stole power cords
From the public and so it made all the public call it is holiday displays go dark. That's messed up power cords, huh?
I mean, there's got to be something else to that like
I apparently had illegal prescription drugs on him. So who knows but my thing was it's just like why the power cord?
I don't know that's petty. Yeah, what is petty?
You want to talk about being a Grinch in a different way steal the power cord so that nobody has lights and joy?
Apparently this one is still ongoing. So they haven't caught this person yet, uh, but it's in Lafayette, Louisiana
Go figure. Um
So, uh, they released a report for a man dressed as the Grinch and he was stealing Christmas decorations from people's houses
Police say they have a person of interest, but they're still searching until arrest is made
They said that a man dressed as the Grinch climbed a fence, uh on Coolidge Street
Around 9 40 p.m on sunday december 3rd to enter a local restaurant
The suspect crawled under defense and tried to make entry into the business
But was unable to as a refinal resort the suspect located some Christmas decorations that were in the back area
Restaurant and left with those but apparently he's been hitting more houses
I'm just wondering if it's to like resell or something
Like I don't I don't know if that's a market this time of year, but you know, I wouldn't be surprised either
I would not be surprised
Uh next one, uh, sorry the final one
Uh deputies in polk county said that they have arrested a woman who was caught on video taking amazon deliveries from the front
front porch of a home
In winter haven video from a surveillance camera installed by the victim showed a woman dressed in black walking up to the porch
Where the packages were visible than leaving with multiple boxes
The suspect then leaves the area in a red truck
Deputies say that the lady simply followed the amazon truck and immediately stole the packages that were being delivered
According to the sheriff's office. She admitted that she was planning to re-gift the stolen items for Christmas. That makes it well
I mean
porch pirates are a huge thing, especially this time of year
I would imagine it's not just for that, but it's also for you know, the money aspect of you never know
What's going to be in that box and then you go resell it or pawn it and then you get the fast cash from yeah, exactly man
It's it is just absolutely crazy that people are
Uh doing that that time of year and she was just following the amazon truck and just you know
Sounding like she had a good little scheme going but nowadays so many people have ring
Uh doorbell cameras and all that good stuff. And so it's it's kind of a lot harder to get away with that
Yeah, there's there's so many things that can deter people
People try it man people try it there was
Speaking of one I saw one the other day where somebody was disguised as a bush. Did you see that one? Have you seen that one?
where somebody
um
Was like a bush and they like walked up to the door and
Like scooped the package under the bush and like walked back out in the yard and
Was all disguised. It's just like what the heck? No, I haven't seen seen that
If y'all would put that kind of energy into doing productive things man the world would be great
We'd have all sorts of stuff going on. Yes, it would well
We are going to move into our last segment
Which is normally our first segment and that is the old-fashioned donut, which is a story from our past and uh
I guess we're going to talk about
She was technically my first girlfriend
um, but
Micah also has some ties because
My first girlfriend was her dad was actually Micah's football coach
So that made uh head football that head wasn't the assistant
It was the main the the main guy the main varsity football coach. Anyway, let's go ahead Chris. Sorry
So, uh, that made it for an interesting dynamic between uh, you know me Micah
my girlfriend and her family so, uh
I don't know. What should I say about uh this person? What should I even call her?
I don't know what to say. We can just call her Tim Lee. Yeah, I'm gonna try I'm gonna try to be nice on the podcast
I I don't want to be too, uh
Disparaging but let me put it to you this way
uh
She was not as bad as varuca salt
Um from willy wonka in the chocolate factory, but she was but she was very spoiled
Um, she was definitely an only child
um, and she was a
Rich kid, so she was very used to having things her way went to a private school as well a uh catholic private school there in town
Kind of I would you call that school? I would say it's upper echelon because I mean you got to pay pretty good to get in
Yeah, I would say that I don't remember
What we called him but in the bow jingles episode there was a guy that I met and he uh from the youth group and he was very
Upset that I stole his girlfriend. Um, I broke the bro code
We told that story and that was the girl but technically, you know, they had already broken up and I was just kind of the rebound
That's what I was and I was a nice guy and I was very giving and so
Uh, she was like, oh, I can boss this guy around and get what I want from him. So uh,
Yeah, so it it didn't really last too long. It lasted three months, but it was my first actual real girlfriend
um, and so I I
Kind of regret it because I like for those three or four months
Like I put everything on hold like everything including like my police internship program the youth program
I was like skipping school skipping shirt. Like I was just not a I was just not in a good place
Um, but mica, how do you what do you want to add to this? Uh, so I just remember how it started was
You know kind of saw this coming and whatnot
Of course because go to the youth group and then also
um
You know just kind of just kind of saw this coming and you know, I would say this it's it's a great area of how
Chris got kindly because the thing was the previous guy his mommy told him that he couldn't date
Her anymore and so he had to break up with her and then got mad when chris swooped in so um, you know
It is what it is
But if you remember that but if not, there's a little recap there all I remember is when very first started
Uh, and it's just like I I think you told me hey, I'm thinking about asking her out
Like officially because y'all have been talking for a little bit and it's like I'm thinking about asking her out
And I remember bro. I had a stern talk with you. I because that year
I uh was in line to have a starting position like on the varsity football team, right?
and so
And I had moved up and this was like my sophomore year and that was kind of uncommon
um, most of the time was like junior or senior, right and so
Basically, I had a conversation with it was like don't screw this up
For me kind of thing just because you want to date this girl, you know, you got to remember who her dad is
So like don't screw this up for me. Do you remember me having that conversation with you? Oh, yeah
I was just like don't don't mess anything up and whatever and uh, chris gave me that assurance and I just remember
I'm gonna talk mainly about um
We'll call him uh, who should what should call him? I want to call him elmo because that's what
Or you can call him elmo. Larry. Okay. Yeah, so we call him elmo because uh, he used to get so mad
He was a very short man. He was probably what five foot two maybe something like that
And when he would get mad he would get so red, you know, he'd look like a pissed off tickled me elmo anyways. Um, so
elmo her dad
It actually I can't call him that sounds so disrespectful. Sorry. I don't disrespect the guy. He's a cool guy. Um,
Larry that's fine. Anyways, Larry comes to me and we're in practice or after practice and he's like
So I hear that your best friend is you know, date my daughter and everything
He just had a billion questions and I was nervous his mess
But I think the time that kind of
Got me uh, what I guess back to her back to old kinley there
The thing that I remember is exactly what you said you pretty much hit nail on the head. She was a spoiled rich girl and uh
She was kind of weird though. Like I'll be honest with you. She
She was kind of weird. She had some quirks about her. I kind of like exactly describe it, but she wasn't let me
I'll tell I'll I'll full disclosure season three. Uh, too bad gloves are coming off
All right, go for it. This this girl she would dress up like a pioneer from little house on the prairie
Uh, just for fun. Like it was very weird and you just be like, oh
Okay, she had a weird fascination with little house on the prairie. I don't know what I'm not just that
I also remember we had several times. I went over there with chris to to and you gotta think this is to my head football coach's house
um
Go over there and went over there a few times and I remembered there was like a shrine for her dead dog
Like almost it wasn't a full it was like a decent space for this dog that had passed away and like the ashes were like
Yeah, it was yeah, it was like borderline creepy like it was very well and gloves are off
Even now she's got a dog and I swear she loves a dog more than her husband
The way that she'd be talking about him. Um anyways, so
but enough about her, um
So the head football coach man, I think after a while bro
I could swear that her parents probably loved you more than she did be honest with you because you know how I know her
um her mom actually liked me more than she did because
It was her mom that went and got me christmas presents not her like and it was just like
Ro like yeah, it was bad because I remember like we were hanging out and I was like, oh like, you know, where's your mom?
Uh, and she was like, oh she wants to go get your christmas presents and I'm like
Oh, like did you pick them out and she just has to like go pick them up?
She's like no, she's like she was just gonna pick them out for you. Oh bro. We didn't even disclose this. I'm sorry
She this girl old kenley she would require
Gifts throughout the month of her birthday like celebrate the birthday for the whole month. It wasn't just the day
It was the whole freaking month. Oh, yeah
Yeah, she she said that she had to have free birthday gifts birthday gifts and post birthday gifts
I'm not kidding. Yeah, it was it was super super insane
anyway, so
I tell you what man I
Um, larry was really cool. Uh, what was interesting was like he was the head football coach over at one school there in the county
and at the time
Um, kenley's mom was the principal at another high school that like we played and we were rivals with so that was always a very
Interesting time of year when we played each other because it was literally a house divided
And we'd lost like a bunch of years and I just remember larry being like I have to go home to my wife
Now I gotta go home to my wife and live for a whole year. Like yeah, it was a whole thing. Um,
but even down to
um, I believe
um, kenley's mom she was an alabama fan and
Uh, oh larry he was an albert fan like he played for albert like played football for albert
So like they were I mean even down to the bed sheets
They they had like a divided bed sheet and then there was like a cut out of nick sabin and like all this other stuff man
It was it was kind of an interesting dynamic
They had because it was kind of like a weird rivalry everything was kind of rivalry-esque
But um, man, I really liked
kenley's mom though like you know larry was cool and you know, I had a lot of interactions with him and he really
Um got on with chris and it was kind of interesting because he typically didn't have any outside players come to his house
But you know, he's like if you don't tell anybody I'm okay with you coming over here with your friend kind of deal
The first time do you remember the first time I actually came over to their house and like he came in
Yeah, I was gonna tell you I was gonna tell you to tell that story. Yeah, I just remember
I just remember he came in and had a bag of golf clubs on his shoulder
And he was like he literally I could tell he caught himself
But he comes inside and he goes what the hell are you doing here?
That was the first thing that he said to me when he came in I had to explain to him
You know I was here with chris and all this other stuff and bro
I don't think he liked it at all
But then he was nice enough to give us a tour of the house, right?
He's like well has kimmy giving you a tour of the house and I was like now so you know like typical
Um proud homeowners they give us a tour of the house. We get to the bedroom
You know, I was joking about the whole sheets in half and you know nick saving in the bed or stuff like that
so we get there right and
Chris will tell you I still run my mouth, but I had zero filter. I said some stupid crap, right at that time
I just remember walking in that room looking at the bed and going all right larry. So this is where the magic happened
Yeah, he was probably just like get out. He was like he's like I like your friend
He was like if your friend wasn't here boy, I'd throw you out and be like uncle field to DJ jazzy
Jeff he would have thrown me right out that front. Yeah, the reason why michael was there is because we were doing
I think I was helping them with their video project and michael was like helping me
So I think that I think that's what it was
But um, yeah, it was crazy. So yeah, we ended up
So the way that we broke up is she actually was seeing some other guy and she told me that she just needed a break and
uh, yeah, and so she made me think that there was like still a
Chance and I remember like I drove three hours to go to her like volleyball
Tournament or whatever and then she was just like yeah, we're done
And I was just like man, and I had to just drive
Three hours back. It was a long drive by myself and being good old, uh, my good old buick
I remember he called me. He said I'm headed to your house and it was like you are because I knew he was gonna be in charlotte
That's where it was at charlotte, north carolina. I was like you are he's like, yeah, I'll be there a little bit
And I was like, oh some happened if he's driving back tonight
um
But anyways the I've got a couple other ones so
This man chris was is he is a good man, but he especially was a good man to her at that point
She was like in love. This was the other thing too. She was in love with cam newton like to a sick level
I don't know. She was like obsessed with who was the quarterback of the carolina panthers for people that don't know carolina panthers
And uh before that he went to auburn. So naturally that's you know her dad
Anyway chris, you know north carolina wasn't too far charlotte wasn't too far
So he buys tickets to the carolina game like decent tickets. I saw the pictures, you know
It was pretty close. I wouldn't say it's like close to the field
But it was you know bottom tier kind of thing pretty good seat
Didn't you tell me she like was like I love you cam the entire freaking time
Yeah, I think I don't remember if my mom actually I think my mom actually did help me out with that
So last one after y'all broke up funny thing is we're moving out to texas chris is having his graduation party, right?
And there was this other girl he was talking to just kind of casually, right?
Like not really they weren't going to do anything like obviously he's moving right?
So they're just kind of flirting on it off. That's all it was but um
So she comes to the graduation party and
Kingly and her mom come to the graduation party and bro
She was jealous is all again even though she cheated on him and was it was some other dude
It was funny as a mess watching her just all jealous and just like bro
Y'all ain't even dating anymore and you you made that happen. So I don't know why you mad
Yeah, it was wild, but I will have to save in I'm married to a wonderful woman now and it's great and she's wonderful and awesome
And she is nothing like that at all. So thank god. We ain't got to deal with the problems that we dealt with with some stupid
Dating stuff like we've oh, yeah, we want if we want to start digging into my past bro. We might start digging in the ears
Oh, no for sure. You know, maybe next episode we'll start talking about some of the uh
