1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,360 Trash can presents everybody on New Year's Day. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:10,800 New Year? New me. I got this new resolution. I'm gonna go join the gym today. 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,680 2024 is gonna be my year. I'm gonna stop eating for the whole year so I can lose 500 pounds. 4 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,800 You know what? Righteous brother, I'm there with you. You know what? It's called intermittent fasting 5 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,480 and you're right. We should all do that. You know what? Let's fast and do keto on top of it. 6 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,720 That's what I think. 2024, I'm deleting all toxic people out of my life. Absolutely. I'm gonna have 7 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,080 it queued up to where right as it hits midnight. Just delete all of them and then I'm gonna post. 8 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:47,920 I'm gonna schedule on Facebook and Instagram to post a picture of me with New Year, New Me at 12.01. 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,200 Yeah. Because you know what? I'm gonna be more tech savvy this year too. I'm gonna learn how to code 10 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,360 in just a few days actually. I'm gonna be a full stack developer by the end of the month. 11 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:04,480 That's New Year, New Me. Two days later. So you plan on going to the gym today, man? 12 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:11,520 Oh no dude. I gave that up bro. I went the first day, first 10 minutes. Yeah. It's just not for me. 13 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:18,960 You know, I actually prefer to work out at home. I might go to buy some work out equipment at all. 14 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,960 Maybe. I don't know. We'll see what happens. But didn't you spend like $1,000 on work out clothes 15 00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:29,120 and all sorts of stuff to go to the gym and sign like a two-year membership contract then? 16 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:39,360 I'm sure I'll go. I'll just go tomorrow. Yeah. I mean, I understand the developer thing didn't 17 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:48,160 really work out. I got to lesson one and it said that two equals three and I was already out. So 18 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,280 I don't even know what they're talking about. I didn't really even text the name of what I was 19 00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,720 supposed to be doing. But yeah, I figured that that's pretty much it. I'm Chris and I'm like this. 20 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,440 New gear. Oh, that's what I'm saying. Wow. 21 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:26,000 Wow. And we're honest. Welcome to the podcast. This is the Dota Box podcast. We appreciate 22 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,120 you being here and we're going to do a little free form today. Happy new year. This is the first 23 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:38,000 episode of the 2024. We made it all the way to 2024. What's really interesting is I know that we 24 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,720 started the podcast in November of that year. But can you believe it was 2021? Like we're going to be 25 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,440 going into 2024 and technically the podcast started in 2021. So it's weird to see that number 26 00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:00,480 roll over. But man, it's so great to be on the air. So great to see another year blessed to do it. 27 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,920 But super psyched to have all you guys listening internationally and domestically here in the 28 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:14,000 United States. Anywhere you want to give a shout out to Chris? I mean, everybody. Everybody's doing 29 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,840 great. We just love everybody. All of our listeners. It's so amazing to see the new places on the map 30 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:26,080 pop up every week and every day. Yeah, we talk about we'll be like, Hey, do you see what we got? 31 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,680 You know, and, you know, we just need that listener Antarctica. You know, that's what that's 32 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,440 how we know we really made it there at Scott station or something. And anyways, so this episode, 33 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,280 we're actually going to be free forming it talking about Chris and I's, what would you say? I 34 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,600 wouldn't even say like it or most thoughts, but more like what we think about life in depth. 35 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,240 Just kind of going through some some interesting questions and, you know, there's probably even 36 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,600 things that we don't even know about each other that we we feel about life and different, 37 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:07,520 what do you say, controversial topics, but highly questionable topics, right? To where people have 38 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,520 lots of questions and there's a lot of mystery surrounding it, right? Yeah, I don't know. You 39 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,760 have all the questions. So I really don't know what we're going to talk about, but I'm I'm ready 40 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,720 for it. I'm ready to talk about it. So let's talk about it. Yeah, heck yeah. So let's start off with 41 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:30,880 this. Christopher is a man of the clergy. So we automatically know that he believes in both heaven 42 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,520 and hell as, you know, places that you would go. Now, we're not going to get into the whole theology 43 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:45,360 of everything. The question is, we know what it says biblically of what heaven is. Let's start 44 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:52,880 with Chris. If you say I died, go to heaven today, you make it in. What is heaven? What do you actually 45 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,640 think that it's like? Because, you know, we get a very limited window via text. What do you think 46 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,680 it's like? So when I was a kid, I used to think heaven was just we were just going to be singing, 47 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:10,400 doing worship songs, doing worship services all day, 365 forever and ever and ever. And I was like, 48 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,160 man, like, I love worshiping God. I was like, but is there going to be anything else? So it says in 49 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,480 the Bible that streets are going to be made of gold. You know, of course, we're going to worship, 50 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,560 worship God, worship Jesus, right? That's the whole point of us being there. But I do believe, 51 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:31,280 I do believe that we're going to have different jobs in heaven. I don't know why, but I just 52 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:36,160 believe that we're going to have different jobs in heaven. I mean, the Bible says that we're going 53 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:44,320 to live in a nice mansion. Now, I don't know. I had the impression that everyone got their own 54 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,920 mansion when they died and went to heaven. But the older I get, I don't think that's the case. I think 55 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,720 there's just like maybe a couple mansions. One big house. Yeah, one big house and there's many 56 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,760 rooms, right? Because Jesus says I go to prayer place where you in my father's house, there are 57 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,440 many rooms, right? And so, so I'm like, oh yeah, that's it for sure. We're definitely going to get 58 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:11,840 to know everybody and see everybody, see the loved ones that we know have passed and that have gone 59 00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:20,000 on to heaven. I think it is, I think it's just going to be a place full of peace. I do believe 60 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,080 that we are going to eat in heaven. Do you believe that we're going to eat in heaven? I think we are. 61 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:30,960 Not because we need to eat, but I don't know. And see, this is where it kind of gets for me. I'm 62 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,600 going to go kind of into what I think it is. Honestly, heaven, you know, a lot of things in the Bible 63 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,280 also could be a lot of symbolism as well. You can also look at it as a lot of symbolism too. 64 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:50,800 And as wonderful as a place as it's depicted and things like that, I guess here's more of what I 65 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:59,600 would like for it to be. I think it's individualized, right? There are things that you get in and 66 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,320 there are things for you like, right, you know, the football stadiums over here, the airports over 67 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,680 here, you get to fly what you want, whatever, cross the Emerald Sea, you know, have a good time. 68 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,480 And what I'm hoping that that is, is more than anything, if you want to talk about it on a physical 69 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,160 room, because it also says that, you know, we're going to come back to ruling right over the earth, 70 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,920 like, you know, all the dead shall rise to do that at some point. There is a theory out there, 71 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,880 and we're getting into weird territory here. I don't know how Chris feels about this, 72 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,480 but there is a theory out there that essentially when you die, yes, you do go to a heaven-like 73 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:44,800 place, but it's almost a holding area. And after the big apocalypse of earth happens and everything 74 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,680 that's depicted in Revelation, that all the souls will actually come back to earth and 75 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:56,160 might as well reign over the earth and take what's what's great about the earth, and it's 76 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,800 basically going to be in its purest form once again. I don't know how true that part is, but it's 77 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,000 interesting to think about. I would almost want it to be going back to what I would like it to be. 78 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:15,200 I almost want it to be simulations, right? Yes, you get to because how many times have you been 79 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:22,400 sitting there in life going, I would love to see what the 1950s was like in this region of the world 80 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,000 without like political turmoil or things like that. Just give me or at least where I would know 81 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,240 I'm safe, right? Like I'm protected, I'm safe. Give me that to where basically you can go travel, 82 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:41,120 do whatever you want to do, have a good time, that sort of thing. And that's eternity. And where 83 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:46,000 the worshiping God comes in is it's going to be so amazing to go, wow, this is really cool. 84 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:54,560 Thanks God for allowing me the opportunity to go around and see what all and not just life has 85 00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:01,040 to offer, right? Because what eternal life has to offer if you're baiting it that way. 86 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:07,200 I don't know. What do you think about that, Chris? I don't know. I don't think it's going to 87 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:13,600 be that way because I'm like, for me, it's like if I get to eternity and like I'm in the presence 88 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,960 of God, I'm not going to care about what happened in 19. I'm not really going to want to go back or 89 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,640 time travel or anything like that. So I for me, I'm like, I don't think that's what it's going to 90 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,400 be because it's more of like, I feel like it's going to be like a whole corporate thing, right? 91 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,440 Because that's like the big, big part of it. And yeah, I do think we're going to have jobs in heaven 92 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,360 and stuff, but I'm kind of like, yeah, like I don't really think none of us are really going to, 93 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,600 I think we're going to love heaven where it is so much that we're not really going to care 94 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,720 or to want to go back or to know. Like we'll already know what it was going to be like. You 95 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,880 know what I mean? Like we'll have that knowledge, not that we're all knowing like God, but I think 96 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,840 there's part of the things that we've wondered we'll be able to ask questions and I feel like we'll 97 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,680 be able to know. But it's always like, I don't know, it's weird. Like there are certain definitive 98 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:06,960 things that are in the Bible that are about heaven, but again, there's so much that it's like 99 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:16,080 nobody knows unless you've been there. I do know that I think everybody in heaven is like, 100 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:22,000 you know, you're having, you get a new body, right? Because you're, you know, says that there's 101 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,160 no imperfections or anything. So I don't think there's like people that even though they're old, 102 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,080 when they pass away and they go to heaven, I feel like they maybe look like the younger versions 103 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,880 of themselves. I don't know. That's just what I've heard. But again, you know, there's so many books 104 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,680 out there that are like, yeah, this guy died and went to heaven. It's like, I'm not trying to discredit 105 00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:47,600 those people at all, but it's like, nobody really knows unless you've actually been there. And I 106 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,120 don't think that heaven is like out, like the heaven that we go to is like a holding place. 107 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:59,280 I think it is the actual heaven, but at the same time, it's also like the Bible says that there's 108 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,400 going to be a new heaven and a new earth. So it's like, I think, I think to your point, I think 109 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,440 that earth, once, you know, the apocalypse and revelation, all that happens, like the earth will 110 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:15,040 go back to its original state, the way that God designed it when it was like in the Garden of Eden. 111 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,760 So I do think there are parts of that. I'm gonna get angry with it, but there's other parts where 112 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,440 I'm like, I don't know. But there's like, there's like I said, definitive parts that we all know. 113 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,200 But there's some stuff where it's like, I don't know what else we're going to do in heaven or what's 114 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,400 going to be in heaven. And so it's okay for us to not know. It's okay to wonder and speculate and 115 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:42,160 ask questions. The main thing is getting there. That is like the number one focus. That's like, 116 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,160 oh, yeah, like, let's make sure you're good to go there first. Yeah, no, for sure, for sure. 117 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:54,560 It's just it's very interesting of because like you're like you're saying and not to be a dead 118 00:11:54,560 --> 00:12:01,680 horse, but you just get such a limited window of here's what it would be like. And again, the Bible 119 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:07,600 is full of symbolism, right? There's a ton of symbolism. So it's how much of it is symbolic 120 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,040 and how much of it is okay, let's take it and its actual word that that's actually what it's 121 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:20,160 going to be like, right? So it's it's interesting. So on the contrary, we're going to move over to 122 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,200 another side. And, you know, hopefully this doesn't make anybody uncomfortable of what 123 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,440 you think this would be. But the other side, what do you think that hell is true? You know, 124 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:37,200 again, it says in the Bible that there's going to be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I think it's 125 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:43,360 going to be watching Coco Melon for now. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. But I do think it's 126 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:51,760 going to be like a very dark place, just very dark, cold. I mean, it is torment, right? So like 127 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:58,880 having to relive like the worst moments ever, right? And so just being in a dark place, cold, 128 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,760 I mean, they say it's hot. Like just I think it's going to be, you know, how in the summer when it's 129 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,880 like so unbearably hot that you cannot just get comfortable. Like I think it's going to be that 130 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:14,080 times like a thousand, right? To where it's like it's going to be just absolutely miserable because 131 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:20,960 it's like, you know, the devil or hell is meant for the devil and like the demons, right? It wasn't 132 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,480 meant for humans, but it's like if we make that that choice, we can, you know, go there. So it's 133 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,360 like it's not a nice place. It's definitely not somewhere you want to go. It's not it's not the 134 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:38,480 place that you absolutely want to go for for sure, for sure. Now let me ask you this. There is a lot 135 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,000 of people that actually believe based on what it says and based on the characteristics of our planet 136 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,600 that hell would actually be located in the core of the earth. So like your soul would actually just 137 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:55,280 descend into basically the pits of the earth and all that liquid magma and everything you would have 138 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:02,000 to live amongst, you know, because even underneath there, yes, there's a lot of magma things flowing 139 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,000 and it's very, very hot, but there are ridges and all sorts of interesting characteristics beneath 140 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,480 there. Do you believe that that is where hell is? Or do you think it is in a room? No, I don't, 141 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,960 I think it is in another place. Again, I don't know where that is, but I think it's definitely, 142 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:26,240 it's definitely, again, I used to think that hell was like below your feet or whatever, but like, 143 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,520 you know, they always say like in the Bible, like a second heaven or the third heaven, like 144 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,600 the prophets like, yeah, I was taking to the third heaven or the second heaven or whatever. 145 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,040 It's like hell is somewhere and there, I don't know where it's at, bro. I don't really care to 146 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:48,160 know where it is. But it's like, I understand that. Honestly, I think that there are different 147 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,120 spiritual planes, right? And I don't think that, you know, it's easy enough to point at a place 148 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,960 and go, that's hot. That's probably where it's at, right? But I honestly think that it's on a 149 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:05,760 different spiritual plane that we can't understand nor see or, you know what I mean? But also, you 150 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,560 don't want to in that sort of thing. What's interesting, though, I know you're about to move 151 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,200 on. What's interesting is if you study the Bible and the gospels and everything, Jesus actually 152 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:20,080 talked more about hell than heaven because it's like, hey, like this place is so horrible. Like, 153 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,880 like make sure you know, you're on the right path, right? Make sure you're, you know, 154 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,120 and that's why Jesus like, I hear I came to give you the path of salvation, right? I'm the way, 155 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,280 the truth of life. No one comes to the Father except through me because it's like, he doesn't 156 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,560 want anybody to go to go to hell. And so that's like, a lot of people are like, yeah, I, it really 157 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,040 bothers me when people are like, oh yeah, I can't wait to go to hell. Or it's like, oh yeah, I'll 158 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,760 see you in hell. And I'm like, hey, that breaks my heart when people say that because I'm like, dude, 159 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,480 hell is such a horrible place. Nobody should want to go there. I do want to, I know we're about to 160 00:15:52,480 --> 00:16:01,600 get off of this. I do want to, there's another theory out there. And I know that general reincarnation 161 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:07,840 is kind of a weird topic, right? Because it is believed in some religions and then ad hoc just 162 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:18,320 by some people. I've also heard that hell is actually coming back to earth as a animal or 163 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,680 something like that. And depending on how good or bad you were in life, it's kind of the treatment 164 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,800 that you get. So, you know, if you were a bad person in life, basically, you get all of those 165 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:36,560 things back to you in life again, but as a dog or as a, you know, if, if, you know, if you were 166 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:42,320 smiting ants with a magnifying glass, you'll be an ant that comes back that gets burned alive kind 167 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,640 of thing over and over and over again. And that's eternity. I don't think so because I feel like 168 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:52,480 that is too, again, that's a horrible punishment, but I feel like that's too easy. You getting off 169 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:58,560 the hook for it. What the hell is like literally, it's like, you're hearing people screaming and 170 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:05,600 it's so hot and you're being tormented by demons, like, you know, hearing all those voices and 171 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:12,000 everything you do. You can't get away from it. I just feel like being re-incarnated as an animal 172 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,320 is like kind of an easy scapegoat. It's like, oh yeah, like that's bad, but it's like, it's not as 173 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:26,560 bad as like actually having the thought of hearing, hearing voices screaming the whole time and being 174 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:33,520 in pitch black darkness and being hot as blue blazes and feeling cold and empty and there's no 175 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:39,520 light. Like, I don't know. So I don't agree with that theory. One other element to it, there's also 176 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:46,160 people that believe that, right? And they also believe that that could be your form of purgatory. 177 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:51,520 Like you're not necessarily, you know, good enough to go to heaven, but you're not necessarily bad 178 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:57,200 enough to go to hell. So you're put back on earth as, again, an animal or something like that to 179 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,720 almost prove yourself. And I'm sure you probably just, you'll probably dismiss that notion too, 180 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,480 but what do you think of that opinion? I don't personally believe in purgatory or that there's 181 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:15,120 it in between. Yeah, I don't believe that because then it says, then it's based of, okay, you can 182 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:20,400 get to heaven based on your works, right? And so it's like, none of us really are good enough. So 183 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,240 it's not a works-based thing and it's not a, I'm having to prove myself. It's like the faith in Jesus 184 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,280 and walking that out. So it's, so I don't believe in that because then it's like, okay, I can earn 185 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:36,400 my way into heaven. And that's just not true. So I don't believe in that theory. I completely agree, 186 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,400 but wanted to hear your opinion on that. Okay, we'll move off of that one. And again, 187 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,160 sorry if that was a little uncomfortable. Hell can be a little bit of an interesting topic. 188 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:49,440 Hey, but it's serious. It's real, bro. Like you, I mean, you got to talk about it. You got to talk 189 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:56,080 about it. It's uncomfortable because it is a scary thing. So next thing, and this is kind of a 190 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:02,880 different realm. First of all, do you believe that aliens are real? Do I believe that other life forms 191 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:09,760 exist on, I don't know, it's hard to say because the galaxy, like there's not just one galaxy, 192 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:16,000 there's many galaxies. And in space is ever expanding. Like it's still expanding. Yeah, 193 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:25,360 but at the same time, so my thing is, is like, okay, if, if there are aliens or other life forms, 194 00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:32,320 then how does that, are they just angels or demons on other planets? How does the salvation work for 195 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,320 it? I don't believe that Jesus like went to those planets and did the same thing over. I don't believe 196 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:45,440 that. So it's like, I don't know. I feel like if people see aliens, I feel like maybe it is like 197 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:52,160 spiritual beings, like an angel or a demon, or maybe it is just the government. So I don't know, 198 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,120 man. It's kind of hard to say I'm leaning towards that I don't really believe in aliens. 199 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,680 More or less, I believe if people see aliens, it's probably the government or again, 200 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,840 maybe a spiritual being. So I'm going to go into kind of both things that you said, 201 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:18,000 what I believe with that. So I can totally see it being a spiritual side of things, right? Like 202 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:23,680 they're saying, because what does it say to that, you know, God's going to come down and chariot of 203 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:29,760 fire? What does that sound like? Right? Again, Bible's full of symbolism, right? We're not really 204 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:37,920 looking for a chariot, a full on chariot of fire coming down. To me, if you take that as face value, 205 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,840 what happens to a spaceship when it comes and enters our atmosphere, it's going to be burning, 206 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,440 right? Like it's going to be on fire, like even you have the right protective gear around that ship, 207 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,960 it's still going to, you know, the heat from it is still going to make it glow red hot as it's 208 00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:04,560 coming in. So what what if the chariot of fire is no more than what we consider a UFO coming down? 209 00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:12,240 And that's where Jesus comes back, right? That's kind of a weird theory. But, you know, 210 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:18,320 if you think about it, there is merit to it, right? There is a possibility that, okay, now I 211 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,880 don't think it's going to be like Jesus coming down on the flying saucer or anything, right? Like, 212 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:29,360 I don't think it's going to be that level. But, you know, going back to the whole heaven idea, 213 00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:34,640 you're talking about a new, you know, a new heaven and a new earth. What if that holding place is 214 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:41,040 just another planet for now, right? That is very earth like. And really, when you're being taken 215 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:47,440 off, if it is a spiritual thing, what if we're just seeing, okay, these are the vessels, the ships 216 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:53,200 or the vessels that are taking the souls from this side to the other side, right? To whatever 217 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:59,120 planet that is, where, you know, it's being held and that's where heaven's going to be until the 218 00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:06,080 earth is returned. There's all sorts of variations there. Now, on the other front, 219 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:13,200 because it's one of those things to where like I can believe multiple sides of this, 220 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,120 like there's it's one of those things to where I don't really don't know what to believe. So, 221 00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,920 it's like, I can, if somebody told me this is the way that it was, and there was definitive evidence, 222 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,680 I'm not going to be surprised. I also could see there totally being, I do believe that there is 223 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:36,560 life out there besides us, right? I actually believe it at some point because yes, like coming from 224 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:42,240 apes does make sense to a certain extent, but certain people have different characteristics. 225 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:49,840 Even there's studies done by like 23 and me and DNA, you know, testing companies and things like 226 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,400 that. And I don't know if you've seen, but it will actually give you a percentage of how much of 227 00:22:54,400 --> 00:23:02,080 of primate that you are, or like how much percentage you're said to have or your family blood. And 228 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:10,240 like, don't get me wrong. Like some I can see, but then there's others where it's like, I don't know, 229 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,240 man. There could totally be aliens living amongst us kind of thing, like you watch men in black, 230 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,920 and it's like, I wouldn't be surprised if something like that was going on, right? Like our government, 231 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:28,640 if anything, if there actually was stuff, I believe that, you know, they've made contact in 232 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,920 Roswell, there was the Battle of LA where they shot at the UFO for a long time and all sorts of stuff. 233 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:43,040 Honestly, I think that they probably, and here's why I think so, technology jumped up very vastly 234 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:50,080 between especially the 50s to now. It's insane. You talk about the internet, and I've heard about 235 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,480 UFO crash landings and things like that. And one of the main themes that people have talked about 236 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:03,040 is a lot of binary, right? One person touched a UFO and they were knocked back and all they saw 237 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:08,160 was binary and they were able to write out the zeros and ones and it translated into a message 238 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,760 and all this other stuff. Like the internet, trust me, I work in IT computers and internet and stuff, 239 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:20,960 that's not, we're basically manipulating a rock and shooting electricity to it and making, like 240 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,560 what is recording us right now is we're shooting electricity into a rock in different pulses, 241 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,920 making data come out of that. Like how in the heck would we have figured that out? That doesn't 242 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:38,400 really make a lot of sense to me, especially when you think about where we were the 50s, the 40s, 243 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,040 like we were kind of cutting edge because of a lot of the wars that we were in and because we 244 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:50,400 had to be innovative. But at the same time, that jump over to a lot of the advanced, even we go 245 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:56,160 into the aviation realm, avionics, advanced avionics and things like that, there was a massive jump 246 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:03,200 during that time. And I think war had a part of it, but I also could totally see, you know, them 247 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:08,560 having extraterrestrial beings, they figure out some sort of different form of technology and we've 248 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,480 manipulated it to be able to use it on our side. Now, what I've honestly thought has happened before 249 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:22,560 was maybe UFOs, why would they come visit us but not make their presence known? I think it's 250 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,800 pretty simple. We're pretty primitive compared to them, right? They're coming and flying to us, 251 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,240 they figured out how to travel light years, and they're now coming and visiting us. And just like 252 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:38,720 we do to more primitive areas of the world, like there are people that pay big money to go into 253 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,600 the middle of the Amazon rainforest and go visit a tribe that has barely seen any sort of outside 254 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:49,680 contact, right? People go on vacation and do that. I think it's no different, right? See what it was 255 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:58,160 like eons before whatever civilization or kind you are was like. And because, you know, even on 256 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,240 earth, that's fascinating. Even thinking about something like North Korea where they're so locked 257 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,680 down. And it's basically like walking back into the 80s, 90s, right? Because that's where their 258 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,560 technology is. I imagine it's a lot of the same thing. They come back and go how primitive that's 259 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:18,480 cute. And then I even imagine where like the men in black and stuff stuff come in. How many people 260 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,200 just like decide to stay? How many aliens are just like, okay, I can live amongst them, right? 261 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,880 Get a skin suit, get a job. I like it here. It's way more simple than my planet system. 262 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,600 Like that makes total sense to me. Like I could totally see something like that happen and just 263 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:38,720 keep it under wraps sort of thing. But like I said, that whole spectrum, I can kind of see 264 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:46,640 all those sides to the equation. I know. I'm like, bro, I don't believe. I'm like, no, that's cool. 265 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:51,440 You believe that? I'm like, no, I don't think aliens come here to earth. I'm like, if there's 266 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:58,560 other life forms, maybe there are other planets. But I'm like, I don't, I don't really believe 267 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,280 that there are like I said, I think they're either spiritual beings or it's the government. 268 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:09,600 And I believe that if people did like with the binary stuff, I think maybe they, maybe it was a 269 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:16,000 dream, maybe God gave them that dream or they saw that vision or maybe it was something else. 270 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,920 I don't know. But I'm like, yeah, but no tellings. But to me, I'm kind of like, well, it's not that 271 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:32,000 important to me. So it's not like, oh, it doesn't affect my life, man. So I'm like, if they are, 272 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,120 they are not, we'll find out one day. Not until the mother ship shows up, right? 273 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:45,680 Yeah. But all right, well, we can, we can move on to the next one here. This one's a little bit 274 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:53,840 more light. Where are some places around the world that are on your bucket list to travel to? 275 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,880 Like where are you like, man, if I had the money right now, we're hopping on a flight and going 276 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:04,640 to X. Definitely. I want to go to Israel, which is like sounds like the pastor's cliche answer. 277 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,880 But I do for, I do want to visit. I do want to visit England. I do want to visit London. 278 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:17,360 I don't think I want to stay very long. I, I, for some odd reason, I want to visit Australia. 279 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:22,240 I think that would be, I don't know. I feel like that would be an interesting place to visit for 280 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:28,560 sure. I did want to visit Italy, but everyone says Italy is like super dirty. That's what I hear. 281 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:35,120 I don't know if that's true or not. It's from what I hear, it's very overrated, a lot like Paris. 282 00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:42,240 Now granted, I went to Paris when I was a kid. So it's a little different. But did you know 283 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:49,600 in Paris, they actually have the Japanese embassy has a department that basically translates to the 284 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,240 depression department because people are so disappointed with their trip to France 285 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,560 that they literally become depressed and they have to help them out at the embassy. 286 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,960 But I heard Italy is a lot of the same way and not just that, but I've heard a lot of Italians 287 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:11,040 really do not like the tourists, especially when you're in the touristy areas. And I hear that a 288 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:16,240 lot of the Italian people are very rude. Yeah, that's what I hear. I think Australia, New Zealand, 289 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:22,000 I don't have any, any desire to go to like any of the Asian countries. 290 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,800 I'll stop you there. The only Asian country that I'm like, yeah, let's put this on the list is South 291 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:34,800 Korea. My buddy Ryan shout out to my buddy Ryan. He talked, he talked me into it. He was stationed 292 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:43,520 there in the US Army. And pretty much, you know, the geopolitical stuff is very interesting to me. 293 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,720 I find North Korea and the fact that, you know, they're basically in a ceasefire have been for 294 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:55,600 that entire amount of time. Basically, I would go for just to see what it's like. I like Korean food 295 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:01,520 as well, or at least the Americanized version of it. But to go to the DMZ, right, to see what the 296 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:08,640 highly highest military zone in the world is like, because let's be honest, here in the States, we 297 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:15,280 don't really see anything like that. I guess, well, we live in Texas, I guess, if you want to go to 298 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:22,720 the border of Mexico and Texas, it's kind of militarized at the moment. But I think, you know, 299 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:28,160 it's definitely something that would be interesting to go see. I think that's the only Asian country, 300 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,800 maybe Thailand, but here it's just mainly because of the beaches. Like I'd go to Thailand. 301 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:38,480 Yeah, Thailand. People go to Thailand for other stuff. That's not, that's not good. That's why 302 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:46,400 people go to Thailand. I want to just see what Canada is all about. I want to see if, see what 303 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,480 it's like over there. See how the people are. I just want to see what's up in Canada. Yeah, 304 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,560 like any particular part of Canada. Not really. I just want to go to Canada and see what's up. 305 00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:00,080 I totally get you. I totally get you. Weirdly enough, I've wanted to go to kind of the lesser 306 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:07,680 known places in Canada, like Saskatchewan. Like what the heck is in Saskatchewan? Like, I don't know, 307 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:16,800 but I'm kind of interested. But Canada is one I would like to go to. Weirdly enough, I want to go 308 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,360 to Antarctica mainly just because not a lot of people have been there. And I'm pretty sure it's 309 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:28,800 a giant ice sheet, you know, but at the same time, I'm sure you see some pretty extreme things there. 310 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,520 I mean, it's a very extreme part of the world. It probably is better in theory than actually 311 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,800 as in person, if we're being honest, but it's something that sounds interesting. Oh yeah, 312 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,320 definitely not trying to go to Antarctica. One of the other places I really want to go to in the 313 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:49,040 Pacific is I want to go to Fiji. Also want to go to Bora Bora. You know, it's pretty much 82 degrees 314 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:55,200 all year round and beautiful beaches, right? It's just where all the millionaires go bring their yachts, 315 00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:00,880 so it's pretty dang expensive. But it's, you know, it seems like it would be a really gorgeous place. 316 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,920 I mean, it's in the middle of the Pacific. It takes a long time for the mainland US to get there. 317 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,360 So it's definitely an undertaking that you have to be prepared for if you want to go out there. 318 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:19,760 But I think it'd be pretty, pretty fun. But yeah, New Zealand, Australia is definitely on my list too. 319 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,440 I'd love to go. Yeah, I want to find a kangaroo. Just kidding. Not really. 320 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:31,360 Get your tail whooped on that deal. Do you have any more places or do you want to move to the next? 321 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:38,000 No, that's it. Here's the next question. Have you ever wanted so just just because I know Chris and I 322 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,640 know he has not. Have you ever wanted to go hunting like you've never been hunting for pretty much 323 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:51,280 any animal? Have you ever wanted to go? I mean, like I'll go, but it's not like it's not like hey, 324 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:59,680 like, oh, let's go like, yeah, it's not that I have an opposition to killing animals or anything 325 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,640 or an opposition to guns. It's just kind of like it's not my jam. It's not really my thing, man. 326 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,040 To be honest, I rather go fishing. I find that like more relaxing to me. 327 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,760 But I don't know, maybe maybe if it was bow hunting, I think I might enjoy that a little bit more 328 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,200 than actually just like shotgun hunting. But I think I think I would enjoy bow hunting. 329 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,600 But I'm not like, oh, yeah, like let's go. It's just never been a big decision. 330 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:32,480 I was just kind of a short side question there. Nothing really more to say on that. So next question 331 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:41,520 being, is there anything that you're planning this next year? So 2024, I would just entered. 332 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,240 Is there anything that you've never done before, but you're like this year is the year I'm definitely 333 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,720 going to be. It's not that I'm planning it, but it's something that I want to do that I really 334 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:57,280 want to do. I really want to go skydiving or parasailing, especially because I'm turning 30 this 335 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:04,000 year. So I really want to do that. Bungie jumping is kind of like, eh, I don't know. I've heard too 336 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:12,640 many people have too many accidents with that. But parasailing for sure, or hang gliding, or skydiving. 337 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:18,000 I feel like skydiving is probably the most attainable one. But that is definitely something 338 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:24,480 that I would like. I am going to say this on the Donut Box podcast. And that means that we're 339 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:31,120 going to have to video it to have evidence when this actually does happen. But I am convinced 340 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:38,720 and I will go skydiving with you. Like I before was a staunch no. You can think some folks from work. 341 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:46,400 They there's actually a place just not too far from here in the city of San Marcos. And yeah, 342 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:52,320 there's a very nice skydiving place and you can jump in tandem, you know, and all that good jazz. 343 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:58,080 You can wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We're not talking about the indoor skydiving place. 344 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:02,880 We're talking about actual legit skydiving. No, we're talking about going up in a 345 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,520 yeah, we're talking about going up in a twin-autor plane up to 16,000 feet and jumping. Ladies and 346 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:15,040 gentlemen, this man loves planes and he's not that scared of heights, but he does not like 347 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,800 glass elevators. He does not like jumping out of planes. I don't know why. What's interesting, 348 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,760 here's what got me. Here's what got me because I was talking with them and they're very much about 349 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:32,080 it, right? In fact, one of these guys that I'm referring to is going to get his solo license. 350 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:38,000 Like you can go if you do enough hours and take a test, basically you can, you know, jump and 351 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,960 be by yourself parachuting. And you know, my biggest thing is I really don't like free fall 352 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:51,280 drops. Like roller coasters, cool free fall drops. They're just not my bag. Like that heart in your 353 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:58,000 throat feeling is just not, not good. I can handle roller coasters, but just not that free fall drop. 354 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,440 So I was telling them that and they actually said it's actually right the opposite. Like you don't 355 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,920 feel that in your, in your stomach. They're like, yeah, it's a lot of adrenaline, but you actually 356 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:18,400 get used to it pretty quickly. So it's not, it's not very intense. Like basically it's a graceful 357 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:24,000 going down a terminal velocity sort of thing. And it's not that really intense feeling that you 358 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:28,480 would expect a fall drop. For sure, bro. Yeah, it's interesting. I've always wanted to do it. 359 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:35,520 I may not look like it, but I am an adrenaline junkie. And so I do enjoy that. Is there anything 360 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:42,160 that you're planning for 2024 that you've not ever done before? Well, now skydiving. Honestly, 361 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:50,240 I want to, each year I'm trying to travel to a new place or at least fly to new plane. So I'm 362 00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:56,000 thinking, you know, this year, you probably, you know, some of you have seen the video of me going 363 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:02,080 to a cook in the middle of nowhere. I'll probably take some some flights, just some some interesting 364 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:07,520 ones on planes I've never done before or places I've never done before, something like that. 365 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:14,160 That's probably going to be the the fresh new thing for me, besides skydiving. Because like I 366 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,480 said, I do want to make that happen. If it's, if it's one of those things where it's not that 367 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:25,280 feeling, I've always wanted to know what some of those experiences are like. Because, you know, 368 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:31,920 one of the guys was also talking about going through a cloud, right? Like literally, they got 369 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:36,480 to go through it wasn't a big cloud, because you have to be able to see the airport at all times. 370 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:42,160 But they were able to go through a cloud. And I know it's probably just like being in fog. 371 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:47,520 But that's got to be a very insane experience. I've always flown on the plane, looked out the 372 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:53,120 window and thought, what does that feel like being in that cloud? So that must be pretty interesting. 373 00:37:53,120 --> 00:38:00,400 And I don't know, just being that high. And it would be very interesting to feel what it's like 374 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:08,160 out there. I will say one of my 2024 goals. And I don't know if this is going to happen, but it's to 375 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:16,400 take a picture with either Cody Rhodes, Sting or CM Punk this year. That is that is like on my list. 376 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:24,000 Sting is retiring this year, his last match is in March. And I'm hopefully trying to get something 377 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:32,000 signed by him personally or get a picture with him. And so that is like the most tangible one. 378 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:39,440 But I'm trying to get at least a picture with one of those three this year. That is like one of my goals. 379 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:44,080 I think that's that's a good goal, man. I think those are, those are pretty awesome. 380 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:50,880 I think we're good to end it there, man, with what we're going to be doing new in 2024. 381 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:59,760 I think it's fantastic. Every year we're growing, especially podcast and life and everything else. 382 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:06,560 So it's going to be pretty fun this next year. And podcast and life with where everything is going. 383 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:12,480 So, you know, I had a good time talking about it, learned some things about my, 384 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:18,080 about my good friend Chris that I didn't really know about. You know, I'm sure he's, 385 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:25,680 I will say, you know what, you know what, actually this, this month makes 20 years that we have been 386 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:30,720 friends. Was it really this month? Well, I guess it was. Yeah. Cause January, yeah, this month, 387 00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:40,480 because you, you, we met, we met, I remember it was 2004 in January of 2004, because I was in the 388 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:49,280 third grade and it was 2004. I think when you guys got to Augusta, is that right? Am I in the right 389 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:57,200 timeline? Yep. January of 04. Yep. So we have been, we have been friends officially for 20 years. 390 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:02,640 That's wild. Jeez. That's pretty crazy. And I'm not, and I'm not, and we're not even 30. No wonder 391 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:08,720 we're able to pull stories out left and right. We've got 20 years worth. 20 years of friendship. 392 00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:14,480 You got a lot of stories, but you know what's crazy dude? Like think about it. When we're 40 or 393 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,520 even 70, it's like, how many, you know, how many stories are we going to be able to pull? 394 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,800 That's why we just got to keep on, keep on doing some crazy stuff to make those memories happen, 395 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:32,800 which, you know, we will. It's going to be good. I know you're, I know you're trying to wrap up 396 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:40,240 the podcast, but I have a quick question for you. Since it is New Year's, do you do the superstitious 397 00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:47,600 where you eat black eyed peas, collard greens, like all that stuff? Do you guys do that? I'm not, 398 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:55,040 I'm not really superstitious. Honestly, like I'll be honest with you. This kind of sounds old man of 399 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:59,360 me because I'm in my 20s, but I think the last couple of years, I don't even think I made it to 400 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:05,280 midnight. I got to go to sleep before. Oh yeah. I never have either. I really never have the past 401 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:10,480 couple of years. I'm like, yeah, it'll, the new year will be here when I wake up. Like it's, 402 00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,400 I don't know, but here's the thing. Like most people go to parties and like, 403 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,440 I've never really been invited to a New Year's Eve party as an adult. So it's like, 404 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,520 yeah, like there's no point in me staying up. You're not missing much. And unless it's a Christian 405 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:32,080 party, everybody's just getting drunk. Pretty much, that's pretty much all it is. You're not 406 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:39,920 missing much. I'll say this. We're doing the Southern goodbye here. So we're just going to 407 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:47,280 keep on going for another minute. Let me ask this. Did you ever, or like have anybody 408 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:54,080 watch like Dick Clark, you know, do like the countdown and when I guess dry and sea crested, 409 00:41:54,080 --> 00:42:00,800 that old dinosaur Dick Clark. Yeah, we, yeah. I mean, that's, that's always been like a thing. 410 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:07,360 Like, you know, you watch it and all that stuff. I do actually remember that we spent a New Year's 411 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:15,280 Eve party. I was just, yeah. It was actually at our friend Aaron's house and it was me, 412 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:27,840 Micah Aaron. I think Stephen Corlew and Stephanie and his sister and Aaron's sister and my brother. 413 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:34,880 And I think maybe the Reynolds were there. I think I'm not sure if they were there or not there. 414 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:40,080 They may or may not have been there. I don't remember. All I remember about that is I threw up. 415 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,720 That's all I remember about that one. Do you remember? Yeah. I also remember we got in trouble 416 00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:51,760 because we wrote a note to, I think Stephanie and was said, Hey, we think you like Andrew. Is this 417 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:58,320 true? And we slipped it under the door and I remember she was crying about it and Aaron's 418 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:06,240 nice sister, and I use the term nice sarcastically, scolded us and dude, 419 00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:10,560 do you think Kim Lee was a princess? This lady was a princess. We'll have to talk about her 420 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:20,000 sometime. But yeah, but I remember we got in trouble and then Aaron's dad Todd came in and 421 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:25,760 scolded us and I just remember getting in trouble and my parents, I think, still actually have a 422 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:32,800 picture from that time. So and we drank sparkling grape juice. Yep. I remember sparkling grape juice 423 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,720 and the whole reason I got sick is because I had way too much. So yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah. 424 00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:41,760 So I do remember that. I don't remember too many New Year's Eve's, but I do remember that one. Oh, 425 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:46,480 and I remember that Aaron had fireworks, but we couldn't pop them in the backyard because 426 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,440 there was it was cloudy out and they were just like, it's too cloudy out. I just remember being 427 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:56,000 like really mad because I was like, what does that have to do with it? Well, I don't have anything 428 00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:02,640 else. Do you got anything else? Nah, man, we can wrap this thing up. So here's to 2024. It's going 429 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:10,560 to be a great year. And I'm Chris and this has been the first episode of the year. 430 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,560 Yeah.
