15 she was 15 going on 16 I think and 120 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:17,160 I just remember because it was always in this condo and a condo just like typical beach 121 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:22,080 condos have a bottom layer where people park their cars and stuff like that. 122 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:29,640 I just remember her being like daddy I want to drive the car I want to drive the car because 123 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,920 we were all going to go somewhere I think it was to the outlet mall or something and 124 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,400 she's like I want to drive the car and Myrtle Beach was not exactly especially on the beach 125 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,440 like that whatever road it is next to the beach it's it's not a take walk man I mean 126 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,000 it's pretty pretty hairy stuff like there everybody was almost getting the accents and 127 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000 that's where it thing. 128 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,200 I just remember her dad being like no it's just not safe and she full on had this temper tantrum 129 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,040 she was just like daddy I want to drive the car you're gonna let me drive the car and 130 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,360 he's like no like I'm not gonna let you drive the car and I mean just in front of everybody 131 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,840 just like stomping her feet and just like getting real mad like a toddler dude I remember 132 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,880 she just got so mad and finally like her dad just got in the car and started driving but 133 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,920 like he stayed calm the whole time but bro she was just going off on images and she was 134 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:25,320 just saying like you never let me do anything you never you're not a fair dad you always 135 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,520 say that you're fair and you're not fair at all and I mean she just went on this whole 136 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,160 thing bro it was something else all over her her wanting to drive the car and I think she 137 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,560 just had her learners permit like not even her driver's license and she said I want an 138 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:49,320 oopa-loopa now knows like bro like you need to yeah exactly she played the keyboard for 139 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,640 the church and she was an all right keyboard player singing why oh boy yeah it was not 140 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:02,200 good at all she was very flat and what I mean by that is like musically flat like she could 141 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,360 not hit a note to save her life and I just remember like when we would be back there 142 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,760 running sound certain songs bro well we'd be back there running sound there was a feature 143 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,920 where you could like put on your headphones and you could solo out like in your headphones 144 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,400 not on the play not in the room where everybody else could hear it but you could solo it in 145 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,000 your headphones to where you're like okay where's the problem so I can know where to 146 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,760 fix it and almost every time the problem we'd hit that solo and be like oh yeah just the 147 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,640 problem oh yeah man but you know what was bad she would always sing with somebody that was 148 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,360 um no actually you know what I think she was too sharp and there was another girl that 149 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,000 was too flat and so whenever they sang it was just not a good thing yeah it was it was 150 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,680 old pit old pit was too flat she was flat as all get out like and the thing was at the 151 00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:00,480 time you got to think I don't know if how popular it is now but a lot of the songs that 152 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,760 we were singing in that youth group like and I think maybe it was because the standard before 153 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,040 we're getting into something completely different I'll get off in this second the band they had 154 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:16,760 before it got to this point was a lot better musically like they were good singers very 155 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:22,040 good musicians and let's be honest it kind of turned into a bunch of 16 year old kids 156 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:29,200 versus adults with some experience and so I think the same songs remained but the musical 157 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:36,040 talent wasn't exactly there so I bro I remember did you ever bring friends and you're just 158 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,280 like I hope to God we're not singing one of these songs tonight because it's just painful 159 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,960 and even you know watching some of the friend you know could you talk this place up like 160 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:52,120 oh man come to my church it's cool and you get there and you know it was just terrible 161 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,920 yeah it was bad but anyways we are gonna we'll segue into the next people that we're gonna 162 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:05,560 talk about we'll call her Jana that's what we'll call her and she was actually the senior 163 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:11,920 pastor's daughter-in-law she was married to one of the pastor's sons who was actually 164 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:18,680 a pastor and he had tried to start his own church in north august but I think it failed 165 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:25,680 and they eventually came back to our church oh but Micah has a beef with Jana he did not 166 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:30,680 like Jana for some reason and I don't know why but he did so first and foremost what 167 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:37,200 happened was there was kind of an in-between period in like the way that the previous 168 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,200 children's pastor was ousted was pretty pretty bad I wouldn't say like he wasn't necessarily 169 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,800 ousted I guess the way he left wasn't very good right he left in the church split yeah 170 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:54,640 in a church split so it was kind of nasty there and I remember in the interim so there were 171 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,560 several people in the interim but you got to think I was just kind of old enough to 172 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:04,760 not be in that children's church realm but old enough to kind of help out at that point 173 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,440 you know give give kids some leadership role they you know I loved it I thought it was great 174 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:14,700 right even if it was just small stuff but they had me doing all sorts of stuff right 175 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:21,920 a lot of it was tech related items right because the previous pastor children's pastor like 176 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,480 his kids ran all the tech stuff like you're not running the tech stuff his kids are running 177 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,720 it well those positions became open once they left so it was like okay I want to run tech 178 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:39,080 I want to do all this stuff so long story short this lady comes in first of all Christopher 179 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,120 would you say she was a nice woman like I'm gonna give I'm gonna give the benefit of the 180 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,800 doubt and leave it open maybe I just had a bad experience was she a nice woman to you 181 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:53,760 um I think she she was I didn't really have any particular ill feelings I think part of 182 00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:01,960 your issues is I think your paternal unit kind of projected some of his bitterness at getting 183 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:09,000 shot shafted for the role onto you and I think you are like oh yeah so you were upset and 184 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,880 so then you were kind of like yeah she's mean I don't know so there's part that and then 185 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,640 I also think there was part I don't know what all happened behind closed doors but she also 186 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,920 kind of treated me pretty funny like I wouldn't say bad like she wouldn't be like no you can't 187 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:31,680 help her whatever but she would kind of relegate me to a singular role and almost I don't know 188 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:36,400 the way she talked to me was kind of different than most other people and you got to think 189 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,680 so the person who had left before that um was like a former drama director too so like 190 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:47,560 I was very involved with drama so her and I had a really it was actually her sister-in-law 191 00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,560 yeah it was actually her sister-in-law and there were some things that went down there 192 00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:57,120 and so pretty much um we had a good rapport and I think maybe that was the biggest problem 193 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:04,520 was we had a good rapport um she really liked me she was very very nice you know and was 194 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:11,480 just like man just thanks for for um you know helping out stuff like that and when this new 195 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:17,920 lady came in I think honestly it was more like you know when somebody's annoyed at somebody 196 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,920 or anointed their kid or whatever she always kind of had that exacerbating like yeah I 197 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,480 guess you can help help be crowd control right and it was always kind of like oh I really 198 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,400 don't want you here um kind of feeling and that kind of sucked I think that's more of 199 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:37,680 what it was if we're being 100 honest you know but you kind of you kind of have some 200 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,000 sort of feeling about it but you're probably right I haven't really thought about that 201 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,960 aspect because um what Chris is talking about that children's past a role um my paternal 202 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:55,680 unit filled that role kind of interim between people sometimes and I always got snubbed 203 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:01,160 for that so I think there was part there but I also think there was something who knows 204 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,280 what happened behind closed doors between old what do we call her? 205 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:12,760 Yeah I think also too I was friends with her uh her middle son so we were kind of friends 206 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:20,160 and I hung out with him and uh the music or the worship pastor son a good bit um when 207 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,840 I was in youth for a while and so I think she was also nicer to me uh maybe because of 208 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,440 that but the only thing I really remember about Jana is that's what that's when I started 209 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:37,000 serving on the tech team as well but I also remember um this was like the first time instead 210 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,440 of like children's church we had like one a whole huge party and I just remember the 211 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,680 party being themed uh Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory theme and like to her credit 212 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,440 like the environment and everything it was like a pretty cool party that's all I really 213 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:57,080 remember I don't remember what the tie-in was for it but it was a pretty killer party um 214 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,040 again I was like a seventh grader and I was helping our sixth grader and I was helping 215 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:09,480 out um but um her oldest daughter and we've talked about this and kind of referenced this 216 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:15,560 in a couple episodes but she actually got one of the other uh youth kids kicked out 217 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:21,200 of the church because she lied about him completely yeah yep she lied about him coming 218 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:27,800 on to him he said that uh well what had happened is they were both uh I guess alone in the 219 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,360 game room which they shouldn't have been alone in the game room we don't know the full details 220 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:40,440 of what happened but she um she claimed that that kid had um actually I guess done some 221 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:47,120 things and kind of came forced himself on to her which uh was not true and so it was 222 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:52,440 a rumor and a lie and he actually was told to leave the church he got kicked out um the 223 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,200 police I don't think were ever involved as far as we know but we did find out later that 224 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,200 that uh that it was just a rumor um and she pretty much ruined that guy's life and so 225 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,760 much so that he had to move up north to get a better life because he would work at jobs 226 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,000 and there would be like congregation members who would go up to his employer and they would 227 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,280 spread the rumor and this was like two three years after it happened and it was oh yeah 228 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:25,520 no he was even longer than that man like even longer than that so something else too with 229 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:31,680 that guy I had a class with his sister like I was and you gotta think like I we grew up 230 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,680 with his sister too right like she was kind of closer to our age and so like I would hear 231 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,800 things from her and stuff like that and I would ask how he was doing and bro it was 232 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:46,720 constant it was a constant thing for him like that stigma never left him until he left the 233 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:52,680 state and that is so sad for that dude because he was actually a really cool guy yeah he 234 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,160 was a really good guy really stand up guy I mean he was like you know it was hard for 235 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,200 him because I know he was like big in the baseball and like he was playing for one of 236 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,240 the schools and they had to leave the church and we and we love that family like my I don't 237 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,520 know about your family but my family and my mom kind of still stayed close with them after 238 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:19,520 they yeah same here I mean yeah it was it was pretty crazy man that whole thing went 239 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:25,320 down so fast it was it was like he was there and all of a sudden it's like he wasn't and 240 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,680 it was just like what what the heck happened and he was very involved so it was very obvious 241 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,360 one day he just wasn't there like his his dad was our Sunday school teacher for a little 242 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:37,600 bit or at least with my Sunday school teacher yeah he was my Sunday school teacher for a 243 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,480 little bit too awesome awesome family awesome family it's sad it's sad man stuff like that 244 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,080 happens but I'll tell you this much weirdly enough I've been watching a lot of documentaries 245 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,200 about cults and I'm not saying this is a full on cult or anything but there are some qualities 246 00:18:52,200 --> 00:19:02,480 bro oh I have been to you have been to well I'll just say this in this particular instance 247 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,480 it's just very very interesting how a lot of things went down and how kind of some of 248 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:15,600 the hierarchies were and what you were trying to strive to get to and a lot of these facets 249 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,440 and you know I think about the the guy we're talking about they got kicked out and I think 250 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:26,600 about his family and you know they kind of they kind of work their way into the ranks 251 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,880 of that church if I'm not mistaken wasn't wasn't the mom like a teacher over there too 252 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,840 yeah she was a teacher at the Christian school so like they were they were really really 253 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:41,000 heavily involved it was just it's crazy because even watching a lot of these cult things here 254 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,760 you know it's it's amazing what kind of lies and rumors that are spread to protect certain 255 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:52,920 things that are found out and stuff like that and again we don't know the full story right 256 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,560 a lot of it is pieced together and what we know and what we know about the people and 257 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:05,000 stuff like that but it's still just amazing how it all went down and how some of that 258 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,400 stuff was really hush hush like like happens in cult you know it was for sure well we're 259 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,160 gonna move into our next segment and normally we do the jelly donut but this week it's you 260 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:21,800 fired you're fired stories about how people got fired right some not funny stories but 261 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,280 interesting stories are you ready for these yeah let's hear about how people got fired 262 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:34,160 this one is kind of sad so this guy missed a whole week of work because he had to be 263 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,080 tested for cancer he didn't have cancer but it was an autoimmune disease that he did end 264 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:45,320 up having he said but the manager at the store said that this guy was quote unquote unreliable 265 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,800 and quote unquote distracted and the guy says well yeah I was being tested for cancer I 266 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:56,040 mean that's fair right but I don't know man you know it's pretty crazy lots of employers 267 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,640 would be like oh he's a liability because he's gonna be out for treatment and it could be 268 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,320 something as stupid as that I hope you suit him yeah it's crazy how the a lot of these 269 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,880 companies they try to make anytime where they try to make work your whole life or be like 270 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,720 you know what work your family and it's like no your family is your family like you know 271 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,640 what I mean no company is loyal to you trust trust on that unless it is a like deep run 272 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,600 family business where you know the family and you know they trust you and they really 273 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,280 you know all that good jazz but in most cases companies not understand. 274 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,880 Alright this guy worked for Mickey D's he says that he was the guy that was responsible 275 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:39,280 for cooking the fries he says that one evening this guy comes in orders him orders himself 276 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:44,040 a burger and fries they serve him accordingly the next morning the same guy comes in and 277 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,400 he's screaming about how the fries he ordered the night before were soggy and demanded to 278 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,960 speak to the guy who's writing this by the state of him in his face he had clearly been 279 00:21:53,960 --> 00:22:01,480 drinking the night before the guy goes up to him and this customer is belligerent and 280 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:09,760 so the guy starts apologizing he says he said and the guy said do you think I'm lying just 281 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:14,960 to get a refund I just had the fries before coming here and they were soggy apparently 282 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:22,360 the guy had was drunk got out of his car left the bag of burgers and fries in his in his 283 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:28,280 car and overnight and then when he got in the car in the morning he was mad because the 284 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:33,520 fries weren't crispy so the guy kicked him out of the restaurant and two hours later 285 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,760 the owner of that franchise comes in and fires that guy for kicking quote unquote his nephew 286 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,800 out of the place all the other staff members were on his side but he threatened to fire 287 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,640 them as well if they had a problem with his decision the place closed down because they 288 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,360 couldn't find people to work there as the owner kept firing people for petty reasons 289 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:56,360 so that guy was that owner's nephew and dang that's wild yeah that's pretty nuts yeah 290 00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:01,480 I don't know man that's pretty nuts but I mean there's a reason it closed down right 291 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,920 and can't be running a business like that especially yeah sounds like there was a lot 292 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,680 more to it alright this person was working on a cash as a cashier during at a grocery 293 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,520 store and she missed a case of water underneath someone's car and turns out that that person 294 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,400 was a secret shopper or something this lady had a couple days off and she came back to 295 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,520 look at the schedule and she was told that she was fired for missing a case of water 296 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,160 man dang for a missing case of water my thing is if it's a missing case of water they know 297 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:37,840 she didn't steal it why why fire like even if it's like that much of an issue can't 298 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,160 you just supplement it with part of your check or something yeah or maybe she's had that 299 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,720 problem before maybe she was on her last like but still I have a I have a quick story so 300 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:52,600 I was working as a an assistant manager for the grocery chain that I used to work for 301 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,160 and one of the big wig guys from corporate I mean this guy's like a big wig guy and the 302 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:02,320 story I was working at it was known for like a lot of like the president of that company 303 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:09,920 would would shop there right and so this guy he was bagging his own groceries and I went 304 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:15,280 up to him and I was like hey like I can bag these for you but and he was like no he was 305 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,200 like he's like I got it and I asked like three times he was like no no I got it so I like 306 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,040 left it like I said okay all right and I left him alone well apparently after he left he 307 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:31,320 called my boss and told the boss that no one had bagged his groceries and he had to carry 308 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:36,600 out his own groceries and I was like this this dude and my and my boss told me he was like 309 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,800 well you should have gotten one of the sackers to bag it for him and he didn't ask you because 310 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,120 you're a manager and I was like doesn't matter this dude was lying on me bro I remember when 311 00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:51,480 you told me that messed up you know people yeah people be messed up man three more this 312 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,320 lady was a waitress at a small restaurant in a small college town she got fired when 313 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,720 she finally confronted the owner because he kept withholding people's tips which is super 314 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:06,200 illegal for BS reasons like they were late or other things and she said I kept telling 315 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:11,720 people and that some of them some of the workers were immigrants and it could barely speak English 316 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:18,200 and she told them their rights and so he got mad at me and he fired her because she was 317 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:24,200 confronting him about withholding tips that's illegal yeah that is illegal and especially 318 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,480 because they're not getting paid that much in the first place all right this last one 319 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,880 sorry I thought we had two more this is the last one this is gonna remind you of boot 320 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:39,240 growl I'm pretty sure all right so this person and this is very serious and so this is not 321 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,760 a lot of matter this person was sexually and violently assaulted by a fellow employee on 322 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:50,360 a night out and when she reported it to the manager and told him that she was gonna report 323 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:55,800 it to the police the manager fired her because the person who did it sold more units per 324 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:01,720 month than she did and keeping him happy was more important than how I felt safe working 325 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:07,720 alongside him again so she was so the manager was like well he outsells you so uh I'm gonna 326 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:14,840 fire you and I was like bro that is a boot growl move yeah definitely definitely that's 327 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:20,520 that's messed up though that's really messed up um trust me it's probably a good thing 328 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,800 it's probably a good thing you got fired you

00:26:54,920 the uh fired stories I'm good to move on to the donut hole turn as well so what we doing uh I 334 00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:01,960 don't have a crit let me start that over I don't have a quiz but uh we'll we'll resume the quiz in 335 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:07,320 two weeks um but I do have two movie reviews because I saw some movies over the holiday break 336 00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:12,600 and I'm here to review them because I haven't done a movie review in a while yeah let's do it so the 337 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,800 first one is called the iron claw which is a wrestling movie it's actually about the von 338 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:25,160 eric family who was a family in Texas uh in the 70s they wrestled they were big like in the late 339 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:32,920 70s 80s and the 80s era um and there was actually five of them and it's kind of a tragic story because 340 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:40,760 all of the kids except for one died um and so not like in a fire it's like they all died off one by 341 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:49,480 one um and the main uh guy Kevin von eric who is the only remaining brother that's left was played 342 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:54,120 by Zach Efron and he actually did a really good job now I know what you're thinking I'm not that 343 00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:59,960 into wrestling there's not a lot about wrestling it's more about their family um and so it was it 344 00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:06,680 was a really good movie um I will say they did actually um leave out one of the brothers um from 345 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,400 that was actually in real life they did not put him in the movie I don't know why there's some money 346 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:17,720 issue there I don't know I don't know man um but I mean it was like really good I mean of course 347 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,680 it's the sad story but Zach Efron man he was like phenomenal like he did really good in the wrestling 348 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:29,240 scenes and like you know he he got jacked for the movie and everything I will say though the guy that 349 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:38,120 played Ric Flair was absolutely horrible dude like he did not act like Ric Flair he didn't talk like 350 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:45,080 Ric Flair I think he kind of similarly looked like Ric Flair from that era but he was a bad Ric Flair 351 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,280 but the movie was pretty good I saw commercials for it it does look pretty it looks very interesting 352 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,000 actually so you say it's mostly about the family and it's actually pretty not a ton about the actual 353 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,400 wrestling bit but it's about either drama yeah it's mostly about the family I mean like yeah but 354 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,480 of course the family you know is into wrestling so it's about them and the business and like 355 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,760 all that good stuff and so um it's pretty good and if you don't know anything about wrestling like 356 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:14,040 and you're interested just in history stuff like it's a cool movie to watch you don't really have 357 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:20,680 to know too much um and that's they pretty much kind of spell it out for you um but I mean it's 358 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:26,760 it was a pretty good movie and then the second one I want to review is the Wonka movie that came 359 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:32,360 out it's the pretty cool too Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory yeah it was actually really good 360 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:38,840 it was a very family friendly movie it was a musical um the guy that played Willy Wonka Timothy 361 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:44,200 Chamele is that how you say his name Chalamet is that how you say his name I think he did he did an 362 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:51,720 excellent job um the only thing was he was not as uh corky as Gene Wilder but what I did like is they 363 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:58,680 took um both uh Charlie and the chocolate factory with Johnny Depp and the Gene Wilder version and 364 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:04,680 they kind of uh blended the two together to make that Wonka and so I thought it was like pretty good 365 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,880 I mean it was making some nods at the original and it was a good prequel story of kind of how 366 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:16,440 Willy Wonka got started I wish they would make another movie um kind of on that prequel wise 367 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,160 because they left some things unanswered like how in the heck all the grandparents got in the same 368 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:27,640 dang bed all them years ago well that's well that's Charlie's uh that's Charlie's uh issue this is 369 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,600 mostly focusing on or actually only focused on Wonka and how he got started in the chocolate 370 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:38,760 making and kind of his backstory and where he came from and all that good stuff I guess that's true 371 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:45,320 I guess that's true I will say this though and Gene Wilder's uh Willy Wonka in the chocolate 372 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:52,120 factory you know what I'm telling you that grandpa Joe he is a shikes there bro he is that new scamming 373 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:57,560 people he's scamming people for real he's he claiming that he ain't been out of that bed in 20 years 374 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:02,280 but then all of a sudden he wants to do a little tap dance number tap and jig he ain't been working 375 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,200 for 20 years that's what I'm saying man they be spending all that's what I'm saying they be spending 376 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:13,800 uh any money that he can on uh tobacco and then and then he's all like yeah Charlie I got this uh 377 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,080 this Wonka bar for you and nobody else knows on your birthday how'd he go to the store to get it 378 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,840 that's what I want yeah and how does nobody else know who the hell picked it up for him if they 379 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:29,000 don't know yeah I get you grandpa Joe you know here's my question did you like the older one 380 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,640 or the newer one with Johnny Depp oh the older one for sure I mean Gene Wilder's version is like 381 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:40,120 I don't know it's it's really hard to be don't get me wrong the the newer ones it's a typical Johnny 382 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:46,520 Depp and uh what's his face movie Tim Burton yeah but uh but yeah what I didn't understand about that 383 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:52,760 movie is why did they make the whole little uh side story about his dad being a dentist and and him 384 00:31:52,760 --> 00:32:00,360 being like uh having flashbacks and nightmares about uh his dad the dentist I will say I feel like 385 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:06,120 uh Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory the gene wilder version I feel like it leaves out some of 386 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:14,360 the stuff that's in the book um a little bit but then also to Johnny Depp's version leaves out some 387 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,000 stuff in the book too um but in the gene wilder version when they're all like well why doesn't 388 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:24,040 Charlie get the prize and I was like well he stole the drink and he you know he he did you know go 389 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,120 up to the ceiling so y'all just trying to ignore that he broke the rules but it was a good movie 390 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,280 Wonka was a good movie you should go see it yeah I totally get you I totally get you well we got 391 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:37,960 into some side notes about uh you know Willie Wonka that we didn't necessarily you know so 392 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,880 unanswered questions maybe that uh they can listen to and make some sequels based off of that as well 393 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:49,480 yes sir uh I want them to make a a sequel about what happened to Charlie after you were in the 394 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:55,320 chocolate factory um which would be interesting but anyways we're gonna move into our next segment 395 00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:00,600 which is what fries my donuts what fries your donuts buddy before I get into that just I'm 396 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:07,160 gonna say one more thing you know it's like Charlie gets in there's an economic downturn 397 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,920 sales are down it's like I want to see how Charlie's reacting at this point anyways all right so 398 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:19,240 what fries my donuts man so this is for uh for all those sports people out there especially 399 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:24,600 college football fans and if you're not a college football fan I understand I'll do a brief explanation 400 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:32,680 of what I'm talking about but bowl season is terrible and that is just a part it's the tip of 401 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:38,520 the iceberg but let's talk about the iceberg of the problem bowl season has been terrible this year 402 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:45,640 besides the two playoff games because most of the games don't have people like they're starting 403 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,920 lineups in there they're missing 20 to 30 of the people who are on their teams now we're 404 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:57,160 gonna talk about the whole iceberg reason being is because of the transfer portal and the NFL now 405 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:03,640 the NFL has been there and you know people have gone but it's a lot more acceptable now to train 406 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,960 for the NFL and say okay I'm not gonna play in the um San Diego County credit union whatever bowl 407 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,640 right like we're not gonna do that and understand there here's what I don't understand we're living 408 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:24,200 in a day and age um where if you don't start you transfer if you don't like the coach you transfer 409 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:30,440 if you know you don't like the dorm that is sharing a bathroom but you heard that you Todd has a 410 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:35,080 dorm that doesn't transfer you know we're living in a day where everybody transfers they don't want 411 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:40,040 to just stick around and try to fight it out what's what's what's wrong with people you know they 412 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:47,080 just want to hop ships so darn quick you know let's be honest what I find so much in college football 413 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:53,000 is people are hopping around why because they think they're all that in the bag of chips and 414 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,960 they're not even the grease on the side of the bag that's one thing but it's really ruining things 415 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:03,560 man because we can't really get decent bowl games because what happens is if you're they're not going 416 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:09,640 to the playoffs or don't have a chance at the national championship all these guys they can 417 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:15,000 say I'm transferring at any point right but they're saying oh I'm going to transfer they 418 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,040 announce it right as the season in heck there was a you know and I follow Texas Tech there was a 419 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:25,560 Texas Tech player he got injured lost his starting job due to injury and he's like oh I'm going to 420 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,760 transfer mid-year right like he knew he's not even going to be on the team mid-year like bye I'm 421 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:37,800 transferring and I'll tell you how different it is so I've got a video game in the other room here 422 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,640 one of my favorites and they haven't made another one since they're coming out with another one next 423 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:47,480 year and a lot of it was because name and likeness and all this other stuff but NCAA football the 424 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:55,720 video game right the last edition that came out was in 2014 or it's it's NCAA 14 but that comes 425 00:35:55,720 --> 00:36:02,520 out the year before that that's how sports games work so 2013's when it came out I'll put it to 426 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:08,600 this way you can play as a coach and at the end of the year you get your transfer request you know 427 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:13,720 am I going to accept this guy or reject this guy I'll put it to this way even the best of teams 428 00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:20,600 at that point had won maybe two guys coming from a different team somewhere else now you're having 429 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:28,040 a 30 to 40 flip of your roster every year like think about that that's insane right what are we 430 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:34,280 doing you know and it makes it terrible because who's suffering on the other end who for me personally 431 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:40,280 at the end of the year do I even really want to watch my team because it was it was yeah the 432 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:44,040 starting quarterback but we were missing this guy we're missing a receiver we're missing an 433 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,960 offense alignment the other team is missing a bunch of people we're watching back up to play 434 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:55,240 backups man you know who wants to watch that and that's the culture we've created it's it's insane 435 00:36:55,240 --> 00:37:01,160 and I can't stand it it's a Gen Z mindset I will say that with the younger generation of oh if I'm 436 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:06,680 not on the winning team or oh I don't get the success without putting in the work then I I'm 437 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,320 not going to do I'm going to go somewhere else where success is easy people don't want to do 438 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:16,120 hard things man people don't want to do the work to become successful they just want it instantly 439 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:23,400 or they we have told the lie so much that oh you're special oh you're going to do amazing things and 440 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,880 it's like yeah you can do that but you've also forgotten that you got to do hard work right 441 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:35,320 and sometimes it takes years to see that being achieved right what really legacy are you leaving 442 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:41,480 if you're up and leaving every every year or every couple years you're not really creating a legacy 443 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,440 man I feel like you're just kind of hopping around trying to chase a high that you're never going to 444 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:52,040 chase right you're chasing the proverbial dog tail right you're just going in circles and you 445 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,840 keep going and bouncing from place to place and you're like oh yeah well it's this place over 446 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,720 and you'll make up excuses and you're like oh yeah well this part this they didn't let me do this or 447 00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:06,040 oh I couldn't get along with this person it's like man ultimately at the end of the day you got to 448 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:12,440 stop and think like am I the problem because you just got to get settled long enough to grow and to 449 00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:18,280 you know produce fruit right and honestly I think just like you're saying moving around and a lot of 450 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,840 these guys do move around every year like we got to the point where you're watching a broadcast 451 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:29,160 and it's like oh man this player is so great he was at Utah this year he was early and then last 452 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:34,360 year was at Oregon year before that he was at Alabama but he was injured that year and then 453 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,920 you know they talk about his whole past you know that's something that we only used to see in the 454 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:46,600 NFL and you know and this is a 22 year old kid probably 21 year old kid bro some of you think 455 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:52,760 it's funny but some of it like especially where we're at now the COVID year right so 2020 even 456 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,560 if you played college football that year they didn't count that year of eligibility so you have these 457 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:03,240 people there was a guy on there the other day it was his last game senior you know senior year 458 00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:08,920 he had been playing college football for eight stinking years he had graduated four years ago 459 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:14,840 how is he still playing college football how he was kept alive is because his first two year or his 460 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:19,800 first year he was redshirted which means that you like you can have an additional year and basically 461 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,160 you're just going to sit on the bench and watch what happened so he's redshirted that year the 462 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,600 next two years he was injured but he was still on a college football team this senior year he like 463 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:35,240 his technical fourth senior year right he played you can if you had redshirted that first year 464 00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:40,280 you can get a fifth year by going to graduate school right homie went all the way and got his 465 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:49,240 doctorate all on scholarship because he had he had the years of eligibility so so we've got we've 466 00:39:49,240 --> 00:39:55,720 got guys who are sitting here who have played in college football for eight darn years which is just 467 00:39:55,720 --> 00:40:01,080 that's just mind blowing to me um you know and don't even get me started about we're kind of in 468 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,760 the wild west of this but you heard me talk about the name and likeness thing and I'll get off of 469 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,680 this in just a second because I could feel a whole podcast with this but we've gotten into the whole 470 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:14,440 name and likeness thing where the ncda it used to be a very big thing uh reggie bush was a big 471 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,480 example they I mean they took his heisman trophy away because he was signing autographs and things 472 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:24,120 like that's a big no no you would if you're a college kid you don't make the money but the 473 00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:29,480 problem is who is it was primarily the college and it would go back to the ncda and the kid was 474 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,400 cut out of it completely so basically just making the money off the back of the kid so I understand 475 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:40,600 and get the money you know the kid you know the player needs money as well um beyond scholarship 476 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:48,920 and I get that but where we're at right now is basically it's like okay you can make money however 477 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:53,800 it's just been exploited the last two or three years what happens when there's no regulation right 478 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:59,720 it just goes haywire we've got these kids in high school making hundreds of thousands of 479 00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:05,880 dollars in endorsements and they're not even in college yet we've got colleges offering people 480 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:11,400 five six million dollars to come transfer here or come to our school and we'll have it in in i l deals 481 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:16,360 and really what it's becoming beforehand it was a lot about the money and the big money would rise 482 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:22,120 to the top but now what we're creating is you know what's the most money you can get me to get to 483 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,680 that school and so the people with the most money are going to have the best players period so they're 484 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:31,960 gonna have to fix that I mean even nick sabin was saying the average phone call with their recruits 485 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:36,600 nowadays the first thing that comes out of their mouth used to be oh you know what's the scheme 486 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:41,320 who's the quarterback gonna be you know they ask a bunch of questions now it's a coach let's talk 487 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,440 business first how much money can I get from getting there that's the first question that's 488 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,640 being asked nowadays in college football and I think that's ridiculous it's pretty it's pretty 489 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:57,320 crazy time I'm not opposed to people getting money but it's become a crap show but becoming 490 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:04,600 millionaires while the rest of the general college kids are struggling or they're they're working their 491 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:09,320 butts off just to make it through school and then they end up with debt out there eyeballs a dollar 492 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:15,880 student debt yeah that makes me sick yeah it's it's pretty it's pretty crazy all because you can 493 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:22,520 throw or catch a ball you know I love the sport but what it's becoming is you know it's becoming a 494 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,480 very nasty nasty business and they're gonna have to do something about it well like I said I could 495 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:32,520 fill a whole podcast with that so we'll get off of that and move on to our improv section if you're 496 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:37,720 gonna yeah yeah we're gonna move into improv we're gonna play a game fortunately unfortunately 497 00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:44,200 let's just do two scenarios and we can go off of that do you have any ideas for what scenarios 498 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:50,200 yeah let's do the first one because I've experienced this last week in the emergency room okay I'll start 499 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:57,560 fortunately we got to the emergency room just in time unfortunately you haven't paid your deduct 500 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:03,480 or you haven't met your deductible so it's gonna cost you out of time fortunately there's not a long 501 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:09,560 list so uh we'll probably get seen pretty quick unfortunately there was a whole entire bus that 502 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:15,400 went off the side of the hill and they're all coming in ahead of you on the ambulance uh fortunately 503 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:22,040 it's a miracle that those people survived because they would probably uh be dead unfortunately you're 504 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:28,360 right but there's only one doctor on staff to take care of the 37 people fortunately the neighborhood 505 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:34,040 clinic is still open and I'm gonna go unfortunately that burned down last week fortunately I don't 506 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:40,200 live in podunk usa and there's multiple clinics around town unfortunately the other clinic's not 507 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:47,400 24 hours fortunately it's okay it's not that bad it's just a flesh wound unfortunately it becomes 508 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:56,680 infected instantly somehow fortunately I my wife bought essential oil so I'm good essential oil okay I'm done 509 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,520 bro that's a scam that's a racking in of itself I was about to say what essential oils are we 510 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:09,560 talking about time or essential oil young living that's what I'm talking about those young living 511 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:16,040 essential oils uh anyways all right uh I got into the scenario how about going to the movies okay 512 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,440 sounds good I'll start that one fortunately they had my favorite movie playing this week 513 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:25,560 unfortunately we're gonna have to sit through 25 minutes of commercial fortunately most of the 514 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:30,760 movies I actually want to see unfortunately they're gonna have a couple of those commercials that were 515 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:36,600 made by students at different colleges and they're not very good fortunately the popcorn 516 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:42,680 prices actually went down unfortunately they only serve Pepsi products here fortunately I don't mind 517 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:47,960 Pepsi products for some reason unfortunately Pepsi products are more likely to put holes in your 518 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,920 teeth and reduce your sperm count I just want to know is that actually true or did that something 519 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:58,840 use me to uh it's true about mountain dew oh yeah mountain dew uh the nectar of the south anyways 520 00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:04,600 fortunately I don't tweak mountain dew in particular so it's not a problem unfortunately 521 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,800 that's all they have here fortunately I don't know I don't have another one the mountain dew got me 522 00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:16,120 yep mountain I think I don't know have you ever had like the um I guess it's like with the original 523 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:21,240 label I don't know if it's the same formula but like with the original label mountain dew maybe a 524 00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:26,040 long time ago I'll be honest with you I think I've only had mountain dew a handful of times I mean 525 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:31,240 it tastes okay but I'm just not huge on it you know what actually turned me off of it and I'm 526 00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:36,840 going to make this incredibly quick um if you ever you've seen Futurama right I don't think you're 527 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,720 a fan of it though yeah I've seen the bits and pieces there's a particular episode where it's 528 00:45:41,720 --> 00:45:47,000 kind of making fun of mountain dew but basically where it came from was like a worm that's like 529 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:54,680 crapping it out in the cans and it's like the green it was like a green nasty looking worm 530 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,080 never since then I don't know I just can't get that out of my mind of like I know it's dumb but 531 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:03,880 I read multiple reports that it puts holes in your teeth and reduces your uh I mean it also 532 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:11,240 to probably does but mountain dew does it quicker and uh you know definitely reduces uh the count 533 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:18,600 and so yeah um I do like mellow yellow every now and then that's pretty good I haven't seen a mellow 534 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:24,680 yellow in a long time yeah I do like um I do like regular Pepsi though like Pepsi is not a big like 535 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:29,400 for me I don't know why most people are like oh you can definitely taste the difference between 536 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:35,320 Coke and Pepsi I'm like the mean I don't really care I don't like fall into one camp or the other 537 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:41,880 I'll drink both I do anyways we gotta move um uh we're gonna segue into our eclair which is our 538 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:48,200 positive advice and I gotta let you go all right so this is coming from a place of ah this sucks because 539 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:56,680 I uh I lost a dog this week and that was pretty that's pretty hard um but you know sometimes we're 540 00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:04,040 in situations and predicaments and you can make a million excuses of why you shouldn't take it easy 541 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:09,880 or why you shouldn't go through things right because so many people tell you oh you lost a dog just 542 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,920 keep yourself busy there is something to that and I'm not saying that that's wrong but at the same 543 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:20,280 time you also need to give yourself a chance to think about things and also go through it because 544 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:25,400 if you don't uh it's just repressed and guess what it will come out later and it'll come out probably 545 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:31,640 tenfold so the thing is it's like you know go through it as much as you need to go through it 546 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:36,440 and you know once you get to capacity yeah it's okay to distract yourself but I feel like it's a 547 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,480 good balance so if you're going through something you know take the time to actually go through it 548 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:46,920 because if you don't it'll come back and bite you later on and we want to um you know shout out to 549 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:52,120 to our thoughts and prayers or work my guy your family because I know to some people they're like 550 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:57,000 oh it's just a dog but it's like man like he and I knew the dog like he was really sweet 551 00:47:57,720 --> 00:48:02,680 he was like you couldn't ask for a more perfect dog and so he had been part of their family for 552 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:09,480 ten plus years and so it was you know it was hard because but you know he it was something that needed 553 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:15,000 to happen because he needed to go out peacefully and you know but you know it's still hard and it 554 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,720 sucks and so uh which shout out to Chris he's putting together a uh slideshow for his forum so 555 00:48:19,720 --> 00:48:23,960 that's pretty that's pretty awesome too so appreciate you for that bro yeah I'm almost done 556 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:30,200 actually probably by the time we drop this podcast I'll be done but uh anyways uh my uh my positive 557 00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,760 advice is just be faithful with the small things a lot of people want the spotlight kind of like 558 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:40,760 we were talking about you know earlier everybody wants that um defining moment or that you know 559 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:46,520 viral moment where they uh you know they just want the spotlight firsthand bro and it's like 560 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:51,480 you can't handle the spotlight until you know how to handle the little things building responsibility 561 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:56,040 right I heard this thing that said uh talent will get you there but character will keep you there 562 00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:01,320 right and so it's cool to be in that spot and be in those places but if you don't have the character 563 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:07,720 to stay in there and to handle it I will tell you you will fall fast right because all it takes is 564 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:14,200 um you get in that in that spotlight in that job where you're making millions of dollars and then 565 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:21,080 you know you can easily blow that not be responsible with it and then you know I'll just do reckless 566 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,000 things with it but just be faithful in the small things and I've found that when you're faithful 567 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,480 in the small things those big opportunities uh tend to present themselves the more that you're 568 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:34,200 faithful with what you got so you can't have more until you're you got uh you're good with what you 569 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:39,800 got so that's my positive yeah yeah man good stuff good stuff all right man we gotta plug the stuff 570 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:46,040 tv trash can dot com tv trash can dot com go visit us over there and of course all of our socials 571 00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:52,520 and uh however you're listening we really appreciate it man we really do it's been amazing and even 572 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:58,440 going into this new year I don't know just going back and seeing how many podcasts we've done 573 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:03,960 and seeing the listenership that's happened so far it's uh it's pretty encouraging for the 574 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:09,000 direction that we're going and I'm I'm happy for all the numbers we've been gaining and shout out 575 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,560 we got South America I'm ready to take this donut box out of the trash 576 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:30,760 sit 577 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:35,760 Without this city on rock and roll 578 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:51,760 It's just another Sunday
