Ladies and gentlemen, it's Mikey and Chris.
You can't borrow any more, or Dave Ramsey will hit the floor.
He'll kick you out of his door, living on loans.
Living on loans, buying on time, without no bank money, you ain't worth a dime.
Like in old fashioned credit story rhyme, living on loans.
Hi, I'm Chris, and this is an Alan Jackson, this is the Donorbox Podcast.
Without somebody, nothing ain't worth a dime.
Just like in old fashioned story book rhyme, living on love.
It sounds simple.
Gotta love that good old song.
What's up man?
It's episode eight of this season.
Yeah, long time no see.
New year, new me.
Shut up, share them.
Anyways, that's such a great video if you haven't seen it.
But hey, we would love to welcome all of our guests from around the world,
and here in our homes, I always said home state of the United States,
but that doesn't make any sense.
Our home country of the United States, we really appreciate that.
Shout out to our folks in the home state of Texas, all across the South,
and up and down the West Coast, Oregon, Washington, Cali,
all the way across the East Coast, all the way up in New York, Massachusetts,
even going Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
all the way down to Florida, all the way into the middle of the country as well,
and the bread basket states, where else internationally we got, man?
Australia down under, France, Spain, the Middle East, Malaysia, gotta love them,
UK, Ireland, all those good places, man. So we're rocking and rolling, moving and shaking.
Yeah, man. So I'm super excited for this episode.
You ready to get this thing cracking?
Oh, yeah.
All right, man. So if you haven't been with us before, we always start off with the best
donut, which is the old fashioned donut, which is a story from our past.
Here's what we're going to be talking about today, man.
We're going to be talking, first of all, actually, you know what?
I'm going to let you start it off.
It was a particular time you came over to my house and, yeah, everybody left, didn't they?
Well, this was one of the first times that I had went over to Micah's house whenever he first
moved here. I had been over a couple of times before. Most of the time, usually how it worked was
on Sunday after church. And again, if I ever have or not if I have kids, when I have kids,
and they ever do this to me, I will be like, don't ever do that to me ever again.
But we would put our parents on the spot in the middle of church.
We'd be like, hey, can I go over to Micah's house or can Micah come over to my house?
And most of the time, it was me going over to Micah's house just because they lived closer to
the church. So I would go over Micah's house. I've went over a couple of times.
But this particular time, and I know why, this particular time, I think there was a Sunday school
event. Remember Bernard's Sunday school class, the gold bracelets, they were going out for a,
I think it was a Sunday school event. I don't know. They were all getting together. And I remember
my parents were going out to Micah's parental units were going out. So they had the idea like,
hey, you can just drop me and my brother Matthew off at Micah's house. And so we were going to
have to have a babysitter though. Why did they give you a babysitter? Because you know what,
dude, they, you were basically a latchkey kid. They basically left you home all the time by
yourself. So why did they give you a babysitter? I think honestly, it was for the look of it,
because they probably didn't want to leave, you know, because what was the first thing that you
probably could say like, oh yeah, we were just over there by ourselves. Because yeah, most of the
time I didn't have a babysitter. Like there was there was no babysitter most of the time. It's
like, yeah, we going out and was mostly left by myself. I'm not really sure. Like I said,
I think it was just because they knew that you were coming over and it was just like, yeah,
let's just get a babysitter for the look of things. I don't know. Yeah, because my parents would have
never let me and my brother go over if there was no babysitter. They would have been like,
no way, Jose. But we had this particular babysitter and her name was Jessica. And I secretly had a
crush on Jessica. So I was excited about it. She was who didn't man. Let's stop there. Who didn't?
Okay, this gal she was okay. She was course was like a teenager at the time. Right. She was like
eight years older than us. Yeah. Yeah. But she was like a good friend of ours is sister, like
adopted sister. Shout out Patty ice. And yeah, man, it was who didn't have a crush on her basically
is what I'm saying. Like I mean, yeah, now she's now she's looking a little rough. I'll just say that.
But I don't know why we decided but you were what actually you were upset because you liked
her sister better because I think her sister let you get away with more stuff. Yeah, I think so.
I don't remember what it was. So these two sisters were also my tutors. Like they would come over
sometimes and like help me with my homework and things like that. And I always remember like I
liked her sister better. And I don't even remember why I don't know. I think it was because
you're probably right. She probably let me do more things or eat something I wasn't supposed to or
something like that. Well, so Mike and I my brother was like kind of there but like he just was
kind of doing his own thing. I think he was probably playing video games or something. I don't
but Mike and I had the great idea. We're like, you know what? We're going to make her night
a living terror. That's what we're going to do. We're going to just get on her nerves and make
her quit. And so I remember we did some other stuff but I remember I don't know what it was.
Michael lived in a basically two-story duplex and his room was upstairs and everything else
was pretty much downstairs and he was like, you know what? She likes pictures. So let's lower
down this. I remember it was your basketball cards that were framed. It was in like this black frame
and you were like, let's lower this down. Yep. You still have that in your house.
I still have it. I still have it. Yes, I do. Side note. Have you looked it up? Is it worth anything?
It's worth like 10 bucks. It's not worth any. If he would have signed it, it would have been better.
That's okay. That's all right. Well, so he was like, let's what we're going to do is we're going
to lower this down in front of her and we're going to distract her with this picture. I don't
know what our hair brain eight-year-old genius scheme was at the time. But she was like, we're
going to use this dog leash and we're going to lower it down. What happened, Michael? I just dropped
it on her head. I don't remember if I actually just dropped it or if I full on just thought, oh, yeah.
Because what I don't understand, and of course, again, we were like eight so it doesn't make too
much sense. Most things eight-year-olds do don't make sense. The dog leash was not as long as the
length that we were trying to lower it to. I just know that. That dog leash was definitely not long
enough. And so I don't know what the heck we were thinking, but yeah, we dropped it on her head. And
I'm sure that hurt. I mean, because the metal part hit her first. Like she got hit in the head with
the metal. Like on the top of the head. And she was mad, bro. Like I would be mad too as a 16-year-old.
She's like, what the heck are y'all doing? And I remember that was kind of like the end of the night.
It was like, yeah. It's like, oh, we stayed in the room after that. We didn't come on out after that.
Yeah. It's like, when people start getting hurt, you're kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we better stop, stop. So I've got another side story about her. One more thing here. I remember
got older, right? And remember how we were talking about previous episodes being a part of the drama
department? Well, she was really big in that too, like the church drama department. And she always
had this specific role in this play or like in this, it wasn't even a play, it was a skit, right?
And it was supposed to be like all the things that temptations of the world that basically pull you
away. And each thing kind of straps you down and by the end, Jesus comes and takes all those things
and puts it on him and yay, Jesus got you kind of thing. I always had several roles in that too.
For some reason, I was always the guy with the money, like we had all this fake money and I
would like throw all this fake money at her and all this other stuff. You're the drug dealer.
That's what you were. That's true. I was the drug dealer. I never got to be the loser. There was a
guy that like was a loser. Never got to be that guy. I got to be Jesus once. And that was that was
a thrill. Anyways, I digress. So pretty much, I remember, bro, she would get into it, like
really, really hard. There was one time because there's one portion of it where like she's trying
to get to Jesus and basically we're supposed to like throw her on the floor. And I remember,
she told us she's like throw me as hard as you can. It's just like, yeah, we're not going to do that.
And I just remember like sometimes there was one time she came up and like she was all bloody
because I mean it was like a carpeted floor and like she got thrown down and like she was like
scraped up and just like dang girl. Like she she took it real serious. And believe it or not,
speaking of, you were talking about me still having that Shaquille O'Neal picture. I was going
through some stuff not too long ago and I found a dollar bill from that play or from that skit.
Like a fake dollar bill and it had blood on it, bro. It was like, I guess it was from one of those
times that, you know, that we did that. So, you know, there's blood on that money. We'll still
count it. Just say that. Just so you just so you know what we're talking about, I will tell you
every youth group in America at 2008 to like 2010 did this skit. So, if you want to know what we're
talking about, type in Life House Skit. Life L-I-F-E-H-O-U-S-E Skit and it'll pop up on YouTube
and you can see what we're talking about. But anyways, yes. So, I do remember,
I do remember that. We'll go into the next story in a minute, but I will tell you whenever I first
met Jessica and why I had a crush on her. I don't know why, but it was like one of our first Sundays.
This was way before you guys came. It was like one of our first Sundays there and my mom and dad had
met up with the Sunday school class and they were starting to get to know people. Well,
they were having this event at the lake and we went and there was like this tubing thing and
you had to wear like a life jacket or whatever. And so, we went on the boat and everybody got a
turn on the tube and I remember Mr. Reynolds, that's when we first met the whole Reynolds family
and my mom and dad were kind of worried about like me and my brother and they were like,
are they going to be okay? And Mr. Reynolds was like, yeah, it's like, Jesse will watch him.
Like, she'll stay in the back of the boat and she'll watch him. If anything, she swims like a
dolphin and she'll save them if they get in trouble. And I just remember being like, oh,
she's so beautiful. Like my eight-year-old little cell.
Yeah, just all story-eyed. It was like out of a movie in my head. That's how it was. But anyways,
we can move on to the next story. So, this next story is actually about a time,
Micah and his family, of course, they lived in that duplex. So, they wouldn't usually have a lot
of people over. Usually, it'd be like one or two families. But I can remember a couple times that
they had a good bit of people over and we got invited to a Super Bowl party over at their house.
And this is where I will let Micah continue to take the story. So, I just have to say one,
okay, we'll actually get into that. So, it was the Giants and Patriots Super Bowl. And we'll talk
of 2007. Yeah, it was the big year that the Patriots went undefeated and blotty, blotty,
blot and then they played the Giants. I just remember there was like a ton of people there.
And you got to think, we were also really sheltered. The first thing I remember about that is we,
there was this guy that was invited and he was one of my Perinco units friends from work.
It was the same guy that went on the moving trip with us that didn't do squat. But do you remember
that guy? He came and I remember I was shocked because he brought a cooler beer and that was a
no-no, right? It was like, oh, he's got beer. That's so bad. And I remember he was like, yeah,
I placed a bet on this other stuff. And I was like, oh, he sports betting too. Bro, I was like,
mm-mm, this guy ain't no good. This guy ain't no good. I remember that was like the first thing
that I thought about was just like, yeah, because he was like, yeah, I bet on everything,
including the coin toss. And I was just like, this guy is just, he's addicted to gambling
and to alcohol too. Look at him. He's already had two beers. And I was like being very judgmental.
Anyways, so I remember, like Chris was talking about that duplex there, most of the adults,
actually all the adults were downstairs and we were all up in my room upstairs. And I had a big
bubble TV, right? Like the big old school bubble TV. We were watching up there. And I'll never
forget the David Tyre re-catch, like the crazy helmet catch that's, you know, that game was known
for. I guess there was a delay in the TV from upstairs to downstairs because we saw it first,
like 30 seconds, I guess, ahead of time. And we were all going nuts. And then like 30 seconds later
then we heard everybody else going nuts downstairs. But it was just kind of we were also with the guy
who was rooting for the Patriots. So he was quite mad when that happened. I do remember that as well.
One other thing I remember and we can get to what you remember as well with that.
For some reason, my parental units really liked getting wings from this one Chinese spot,
like up the road. I don't know why they liked it, but it was called Happy China. And they would always
go get a bunch of wings from Happy China. And bro, I'm not even sure those are wings for being honest.
Yeah, I don't know. All I know was like, I thought it was the coolest thing because, again, like all
the adults were downstairs watching the game. And we got to be like upstairs, like kind of having
our own thing, you know, and not having to sit around with the adults and like we could just grab
our food and like go upstairs. And I was like, this is really because we didn't have that like at home,
you know. And I was like, this is so cool. And it was me, Mike, my brother, Matthew, that guy,
Aaron, that we were talking about that was a Pat's fan. And I think Patty Ice was there.
Or was it just the four of us? Was it Patty Ice or was it not? It wasn't Jay Rizzle. So it
either was Patty Ice or it was just us. I think he might have been there too, though.
But I just remember I was like, oh, yeah, this is great. Like it was one of those times where it
was just like, yeah, I don't know. Like for me as a kid, Super Bowls were kind of a big thing.
I'm just thinking about that. Like, even if it was just us at the house, my dad kind of made a big
deal out of the Super Bowl. Like even if we didn't really care what teams are playing, like us making
the snacks and like, you know, watching the game together, that was kind of a big deal for us.
Yeah. I mean, I'm sure that's a pretty common story across the United States. I mean, you know,
the Super Bowl gets so much viewership just from non football fans across the board. It's like,
everybody watched the Super Bowl. Everybody seems to watch the Super Bowl. It's pretty crazy.
What is your most memorable Super Bowl? That one that you just talked about is kind of one of mine.
One of mine for some reason, I remember watching the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Arizona Cardinals.
And really the reason that I remember that one so much, I really liked Kurt Warner and Larry
Fitzgerald at the time. In fact, I really wanted the Kurt Warner Bible back then. Like really bad.
You remember that? Like it was like a football Kurt Warner Bible. I didn't know he had his own
Bible to be honest with you. So there was that one. And then that Super Bowl, all I remember was
Arizona was up by a lot. Oh, and the coach was from Augusta too. Ken Weasen Hunt at the time was
from Augusta. So it was like, Oh yeah, like we want them to win. And at the time it was like
Pittsburgh. I like Pittsburgh was okay. Like they had Jerome Bettis and like coach Cowher and then
but I wasn't really a group for them. And Arizona had never won a Super Bowl either. And so I really
wanted them to win. They were up by a lot. But I just remember Pittsburgh coming back and winning at
the last second and and San Antonio Holmes had like a big catch in the corner of the end zone that
was debated of like whether it was catch or not. And I don't know. It was that was probably my most
memorable one. And I think that was just because the game was so crazy. And it also was just like
that last second touchdown was just kind of a deflator man. It was like, Oh man, what about
what about the halftime show of 2004? Just kidding. Just kidding. Oh, I'll never forget that. If you
don't know what that is, look it up. If you're not old enough to remember, look it up. Justin
Timberlake, Janet Jackson. That's what I'll say on that. And I'll never forget who was playing
there too. It was New England and Carolina. Yep. It was a it was a running joke for years. I don't
know if it's still a I don't think it's a joke anymore. I think they've kind of forgiven. Yeah.
And you know, to be honest, Janet Jackson is not very popular. Justin Timberlake definitely is.
But Janet Jackson is not as popular as she was at that point for sure. Yeah. Well,
we're going to move on to the next segment, which is the jelly donut. And that's a jail report.
So, Micah, what do you got for us? Well, man, we have arrest stories from the new year. So that's
always fun. So you're ready for this one. So this one is from the wonderful state of Florida.
So there you go. Florida 2024. We appreciate your story here. So this person was armed with a machete
and was reportedly walking down the street naked on in the early morning hours of the first. So
basically what happened was he gets arrested. And they asked him why he was walking down naked
down the street. And he said, I was going to chop down a fresh Christmas tree because the one that
we had at the house was dead. And where he was at was in the middle of town in the Orlando area.
So there was no no trees around there. And apparently when the cops pulled up initially,
he had the machete on the ground and he was doing push ups in a parking lot. I think it's like our
friend says in the video, I'll basalts. Yeah, I think so. I think so, man. Next one. I don't know
why this is a thing. But this person was arrested on the 31st. So it wasn't quite on the first.
But this happened at 617 p.m. And a male suspect and a female suspect. Now the female suspect
was in a wheelchair at the time. So the male suspect is pushing her into a grocery store.
And she then wields a machete. Now hold on, machete, not in a hatchet, I'm sorry. Wait,
it says machete up here. I'm not sure. In the in the in the headline, it says machete. And then in
the article, it says hatchet. So I'm not sure. But apparently she pulls out a hatchet and starts
threatening people behind the counter when the market store or floor manager comes up to try to
defuse the situation. So then the male confronts the floor manager and says, you're going to take me
to the safe. This point, the floor manager says no. And they tried to take a few the lady in the
wheelchair tried to take a few swipes out or with the hatchet, they called the police, the male fled
the female there. That's not funny. But left the female in the wheelchair there in which she was
then arrested. So and then they found him later. So she was legitimately in a wheelchair like, like
for real, for real. My thing is, I don't know why she didn't roll like try to roll away. She obviously
she had use of her hands if she's wielding machete. But she said, she said, you'll never catch me alive.
I'm telling you, bro. But my thing is what I think is crazy is just there's a there's a picture
here and I wish you guys could see it. But the picture is of him walking into the store. And
here's the lady, you know, you know, hatchet, it's definitely a hatchet or like a machete looking thing.
And like wielded out and the guy's pushing her in. And then the next picture that they show is the
guy running out the door and she's there, not facing the door like still facing towards inside
of the door. And she looks like where the heck did this guy go? And apparently shortly thereafter,
she got away. Props to the floor manager for standing her ground and being like, yeah,
no, I'm not taking you to the safe like props on her. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty, pretty interesting
situation there. All right, so this is for our international listeners. We don't talk about
overseas arrest a lot, but we got a few. So this guy got arrested after assaulting his father with
a sake bottle. This happened in Japan. So police in a Chicago, I think is what it says here.
So they arrested a 28 year old man of assaulting his 50 year old father by hitting him in the
head with a sake bottle. This happened around 1115pm on New Year's Eve. So just a few, you know,
45 minutes for the new year. So apparently the police were got to the scene. And the man who
was a employee of a paper company, Michael Scott, question mark, his wife had been visiting their
parents in their home and all four were drinking alcohol at some point. The man, the paper company
man and his father got into an argument in which the man his father and head with a sake bottle
with such force that the bottle broke and the man's father suffered a large gash to his head.
So the victim called the police on the son and the son was arrested on the spot and the police
are trying to sort it out. But what it looks like right now is the disagreement was over
some internal family matters is all it says. That's wild man. Saki will make you do some crazy
stuff. You got to be careful with that stuff. Apparently, but I mean, my thing is that's,
I don't know if anybody's actually tried to break an alcohol bottle before like a sake bottle or
even a beer bottle. It makes it look so easy on TV like, oh, you smashed over somebody's that, bro,
it's hard to smash those things. Oh, those bottles are dummied up, bro. Those bottles are
gimmicked up like the glass is soft. So it's there. Yeah, it's a different kind of bottle. Yeah,
I'm telling you because like we've tried wine bottles, all sorts of stuff. I mean, you can hit
those suckers up against trees and things and it won't break. Yeah, but here's the thing like,
and then, but then you like drop it like a little bit. Oh, yeah, bro. It's the same thing with
pasta jars. When I used to stock, I guess that's true. When I used to stock groceries,
I would like, I would have a pasta jar kind of like drop and it would like from a good distance
and it would not shatter. But then like you just like accidentally knock it off the shelf just a
little bit. Dude, maybe it's like the angle. Yeah, maybe it's maybe it's the point in which it hits
or you know, I'm not sure. But yeah, man, that's pretty pretty nuts. But apparently had a large
gas to the head, which I can imagine if you broke a bottle over a guy's head. All right. So this
next one, and I want you to give the best Australian accent for for this next location, and it's
Darwin. So go ahead and say Darwin, your best Australian accent, Darwin, the witch in a grub.
There you go. All right. So this happened in Darwin. A lady was arrested on New Year's Day.
Emergency services were called out just after midnight, because they were receiving reports
of multiple vehicles on fire in their driveway. And so this was a couple neighbors called fire
crews get there and extinguish the fire on multiple cars. It looks like three, according to the
picture, or at least the picture I'm looking at. So they get everybody and they also evacuated all
the homes, right? And so no injuries were reported. But a woman in her 50s was arrested at the scene.
And the police said they were called down the road where they viewed this woman putting
cotton swabs. Now you got to think this is a newspaper from it looks like yeah, it's from
Australia. So they're calling it cotton swabs. But from the look of it, it looks like one of those
kind of like a rag soaked in alcohol. And apparently they were she was lighting it,
putting it in their gas tank, and waiting for it to go, which then engulfs the car and flames.
So she did that to three separate cars. The reason is unknown when they asked her about it.
She said because I felt like it. Dude, somebody got some problems. Happy New Year's New Year,
new me. Yep. That's what I'm saying. All right. So next is police investigate a legal firecracker
incident as there's a few arrested on New Year's Eve. So a woman could lose her eye after a fire
cracker exploded in her face. So this is also in Australia. You guys in Australia, you know,
had a party on New Year's apparently. So this was just Southwest of Melbourne. And the woman was
hit in the face shortly after midnight where she was taken to the hospital. The man was arrested,
among others during the festivities. So apparently, this guy was had made his own fireworks
in his backyard. And part of the arrest was because he had hit other people with these fireworks,
because they were quote unquote malfunctioning. But from police's discovery, it appears that
they were intentionally set to go off and hit people somehow. I don't know how you find that out.
I'm guessing the way that he had him propped just kind of led him to that. But he was arrested on
on 20 counts of apparently he hit quite a few people. There was one that landed in a group
of people at a park off of Slender Street, that's what it says. And the Roman candle style firework
blew up, causing several injuries, including shrapnel to somebody's lower leg. Dang, that dude
deserves to be put in jail for intentionally trying to hurt people like that. That's really messed up.
So and he was also arrested. Apparently, he had some other day, bro. So I scroll down on this one.
So here's everything he was charged for. So he was charged for illegal creation of a weapon,
20 counts of various incidents, including assaults, things like that. But he had previous charges
for sexual assault, traffic offenses, robbery, and operating an illegal CBD trade.
Wow, that guy's got a long rap sheet. And apparently on New Year's, he wanted to have a
little fun and shoot some fireworks at his neighbors. What a guy. All right, last one.
So this one's kind of an interesting one. A man tries to steal a school bus. So this was
definitely after the New Year happened. It was about four in the morning on the first.
And Mr. Brian, that's his last name, he was running from police at the time, was arrested
because he was trying to flee and he was fleeing on foot. He got to a back lot of the Oskalea
County. I'm sorry if I mispronounced that school bus depot and was hiding in it. Apparently,
police then started making their way through the lot and which one of the buses started to leave
and they started following him. When they finally caught up to him, he was at a racetrack gas station
attempting to fill up the bus because apparently he was about to run out of gas and that's where
they caught him. Wow, that's crazy, dude. So he was trying to get out on a school bus.
I like how the headline says try to steal school bus. It sounds like he successfully
stole a school bus and got down the street enough to get it to the gas station. Yeah,
it does sound like he successfully stole one. Pretty crazy, but yeah man, so these people are
starting off their new year right, you know, in lock up. I don't know. Pretty crazy stuff, man.
That's all I got, man. You ready to move over to the donut hole? Yeah, two more to the donut hole.
All right, man. So this, I did do a quiz this week. So this is kind of an interesting one. This is a
hodge podge of general knowledge that's typically based in the United States. So it's kind of just
a random hodge podge of stuff that are US based, but it kind of just bounces around. So are you
ready? Sure, I'm excited for this. All right. So the first one, the star, the lyrics of the Star
Spangled Banner were written to celebrate the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. Oh, that's
something else I should probably preference. These are all true and false as well. So none of them
are multiple choice. It's all just true or false. So the first one, the lyrics of the Star Spangled
Banner celebrate the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. Is that true or false? It's false.
It's the War of 1812. I think. Yeah. All right. You're right on that one. It is false. All right.
So the next one, this one's, like I said, these are random. Michael Jordan took a break from the
NBA to play in minor league baseball. Is that true or false? That's kind of a trick question
because he played major league baseball. So I don't, I guess it's true. Yeah, you got it right.
It is kind of a trick question. He did play minors, but it was for two games until he got
bumped up to the majors. I think it was more for a formality, right? But yes, Michael Jordan did
take a break from his career to play in minor league baseball and then major league baseball.
Okay. So the next question, this one's going to be one that I don't think you'll know,
but we can definitely try. Is it true or false? It snowed in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the month
of July. Oh, I believe that's true. It's actually false. Minneapolis has never received snow in
just three months and those three months are June, July or August. But any other time of the year,
yes, they get snow. So think about that. Even up till May or September, they're still getting snow.
That's why I don't live there. Yeah, that's pretty nuts. All right. So the next one,
one, Florida was one of the original 13 colonies of the United States. Is that true or false?
I think that's true. It's actually false. Georgia was the furthest one south. Florida was a part
of Spain. Oh, okay. Yeah. I wasn't sure. Wait, you said 13 colonies? Yeah, the original 13 colonies.
Dude, I told, dude, I totally misheard the question. I thought you said it was going to be like the
14 colony, the 14. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Not enough. Not enough yet. The original 13 colony.
Yeah, that's definitely false. Yeah. And no worries. All right. So the fifth one, Neil Armstrong
walked the moon the same year that Woodstock happened, the big music festival with all the
hippies. Was that true or false? The conspiracy theory theorist in me wants to say false because
it did not happen. But yeah, 1969, right? So it's true. Summer of 1969 both happened. Woodstock
and walking on the moon. The supposed walking on the moon. Allegedly. All right. Next one,
the White House is the largest office building in the United States. Is that true or false? The
largest office building in the United States? False. You're right. It is false, but do you
know what is the biggest office building in the United States? Titan Towers. I don't know. It's actually
the Pentagon, believe it or not. So which makes sense. It's a big ass place. All right. So number
seven, the US has invaded Cuba at some point. Is that true or false? I think it's false. I think
they tried to, but I don't think they've ever have. Apparently they did. It's apparently true.
And the US invaded Cuba during the Spanish American War of 1898. I was thinking about how
Jack Kennedy messed things up at Piggy Bay. Piggy Bay. Yep. All right. Got to pull that little
nugget out. All right. We got a couple of, we got a couple more here. So Ulysses S. Grant,
who was the big general, who then also became president, Union General that then became president,
had a brother named Achilles S. Grant, who was also a Civil War general. Is that true? That
sounds true, bro. I mean, I believe it. In this case, it's actually false. He didn't have a brother
named Achilles S. Grant, unfortunately. But that does sound pretty cool. That does sound pretty
true. It sounds like something that definitely could be, especially because most of the time,
if you're a big general like that, it would also, it would also make sense that your brother's
pretty big on it too. A couple more left. The best selling vehicle in the United States is the Ford
F-150 truck. Is that true or false? Oh, I believe that's false. It's actually true, man. Ford F-150
is the best selling vehicle in the United States. What? I thought it would be like a Honda Civic
or something. You'd think, man, but apparently it's Ford F-150. All right. Last one here. Germany
had a, or sorry, Germany once had a colony and what is today central Wisconsin? Is that true or
false? I believe that is true. It's actually false, man. They apparently Germany never had a colony
here, but here in our home state of Texas, they had a few colonies. Yeah, I guess so. Why did
horrible at that? Hey, that's okay. A lot of these were really random, so I'm not expected. They were
actually, you know, I picked this quiz because it's stuff we don't normally think about. There's
some weird ones in here. There's the quiz actually goes a little further. There's a whole bunch of
different ones, but like one of them is the two most populous cities in Pennsylvania.
Both start with the P. That's true. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. All right, man. Well, we're ready
to move on. And so the next segment is what fries my donuts? What's got you fine? Oh, since we've
been quoting that new year, new me video, dude, I've been seeing a, not a lot, but what really
fries my donuts is I'll see certain people on Facebook and they are absolutely just blasting
like their baby daddy or like their baby mama or like just someone on Facebook, right? Like,
like they're, they're calling them out pretty much by name and like blasting them. And I'm like,
hey, like you shouldn't, you should probably shouldn't do that. But what gets me is these
people that comment on their statuses like, yes, make this shareable. It's like, yes, we support
you. And I'm like, instead of holding people accountable, we just want to, we just want to,
I think it's the toxicity that we want to encourage, man. I don't like people like that,
that are like, yes, make this shareable. So I could share it too. And it's like, dude, like,
what are you doing? And the, and when I say this, this is not like a 19 year old kid. Mind you,
these are like 30 and 40 year old people that these are grown people that should be way, way too old
to be doing stuff like that. I get it when you're 15 and you want to call somebody out on Facebook
and all that stuff. But at the same time in, that is not the form to do it. And I don't like people
that are supporting that toxicity. I don't like people that are like, yes. And here's the thing,
man, like people are always like, well, I'm going to be a new year, new me. And it's like, dude,
you're the same as last year. You know why? Because you got people that are encouraging you
to stay the same. If you really want to be different. Yep, they're enabling. Yep, that's
exactly the word they're enabling you. And the reason why you aren't growing is because you're
surrounding yourself with people that are enabling you to just be in your behavior and that aren't
challenging you to be better. You want to be better. You want to be what you want to be.
Go hang around people that are like what you want to be. If you want to be more positive,
hang around more positive people, right? If you want to be more disciplined or you want to be
more about business or you want to learn how to do a better business model, hang around people that
have good business models. I mean, I'm telling you, you attract what you hang around. And you know
what? Some of y'all attracted to gutter because that's what you hang around. And guess what, man?
I'm telling you, it's your product of your surroundings. I'm telling you, man, it's so
effective. You think, oh, you know, that's just who Uncle Joe is, right? He's an unsavory fellow.
But hey, you hang around them. That stuff's gonna start rubbing off. It just is what it is. I'm
just gonna keep it real brief and short. But just like you were talking about, I know exactly what
you're talking about, man. There's this girl on my social media. I've fallen head to just,
just, you know, I didn't block but unfriended and unfollowed. But she has four different kids
from four different dudes, I almost said five different dudes, and that'll make sense. But
it's about it's about how it feels sometimes. And so, but what is always constantly happening,
bro, is I always see her on social media, putting these guys on blast like her baby
daddies and whatnot. But not just that. It's like one minute they're like praising or she would be
like praising them. And then the next moment, it's just like he's a violent piece of crap. And like
my kids and all this other stuff. And then the next moment, she's like posting like send me my money
on cat or send me money on cash out. Because I guess we're not having Christmas now. And bro,
what pisses me off more than anything is it's what you're saying, man. She's a grown woman.
But you got four kids in this equation, like you got to do better for your kids. Like it's one thing
for you to be messing up on your own. But it's another thing to be subjecting your kids to a
bunch of this stuff. And a lot of the people you're talking about probably do have kids or people
they're responsible for. And man, that really fires me up because it just it's aggravating
thinking about these kids that are in this situation, and not having constant parental figures.
Because even her, she's all about herself and all about what's going on with with her situation,
right? And about the kids. So they technically don't have any parents right now, which is really sad
because she's all about herself. Let me guess, she's also one of those type of people that also
will post these motivational things that are like in 2023, we're leaving behind the negativity,
we're leaving behind, and then it's all like, I'm going to or posting a thing like I'm going to do
better for myself and I'm going to have standards and then like, and then like two days later,
she's posting a picture with this dude that you know is a scumbag. Either that or she's posting
her new Onlyfans page that she just opened up. One of the two. And you know, the thing is,
I don't know, man, it's just it's like, she I'll tell you, but you're right, I'll tell you exactly
what she did. She full on the moment the new year hit, she put a whole inspirational quote,
but it was a biblical pay, you know, biblical inspirational quote about how, you know,
God's got to take out the trash, you're like, she's, I don't remember the scripture, but the whole
line she said was God's got to take out the trash before it's new and he took out the trash before
this year started and he knew what I needed. And then two days later, bro, she was with some other
dude and like it was you can just tell us just like, oh, yep, you right back in that same pattern,
right back to it. And that's the part that gets me fired up. And I know that we're taking a little
bit longer on this, but that's part that gets me fired up when they when people like or like, oh,
yeah, God takes these people out of your life or re and posting all this scripture and an
inspirational quotes, but they but they live in like hell all throughout the week. And I'm not
trying to like pass judgment on anybody, but you can't take the benefits of God without having
the relationship with God. And that's what gets me, bro, these people want to post all this stuff
and be like, oh, yeah, like, God's going to see me through and do it. And it's like, yeah, that's
true. But like, you can't just be living any kind of way you want, neither. You know why, bro?
It's because these people, again, it just shows how much about their self that they are.
It's them putting that out there. It really ain't about God. It really ain't about any of that.
It's the Oh, see, and especially because the culture we live in, especially in the South,
and that's where this young lady be living at. If if for, let's be honest, there's a farce out there,
if you post something biblical and Oh, you know, God's going to make a change, people just going
to believe that automatically, like, Oh, they're trying with God and everything, AKA that equals
they're trying. Nah, man, that don't mean nothing. Right? That'll be nothing. And I feel like so many
people put that sort of thing, or even if it's not Biblically based or God based, encouraging,
right? It's like, Oh, we'll see, they're really trying to be uplifting and encouraging. But man,
that's that's a farce. That's all farce. And it's all just to just to hide the fact that they're
still doing the same old things. But they're trying to make people think that they're doing
different. And what bothers me about that whole thing, if you put that same effort of all the
hiding and all the BS that they're trying, if they would just put that effort into bettering
themselves, it probably take them less effort to better themselves and be out of it on the other
end, then it would to hide all their crap and be a fake person in the process. But hey,
that's what fries my doughnuts, man. You know what I'm saying? And I'm going to try not to do
the passive thing, but you casting your nets on the wrong side of the boat, you casting it in
tender, you casting it in plenty of fish. And you wonder why you smell like the perch from Friday
night on a Sunday morning, telling you. Well, that's a great segue into our into our improv
segment, our mystery doughnut. And we're going to do the randomizer. Yeah, man, we gotta love the
randomizer. So we'll make this quick. But here's what we're going to do. We're going to do a
profession in the location doing an action. So let's start off here. So the profession. Oh, man,
is the corner. So what's the corner going to be doing? The corner is going to be having computer
trouble at a history museum. Oh, okay. That's pretty good. All right. That's a random you want
to start it? Yeah, I'll start. Um, I think I'm going to have to call it because I got the records
for Ulysses S. Coriant mixed up with the records for Abraham Lincoln. I'm trying to pronounce the
cause of death on both of them. I say we just put it as stroke on both and be done with it. I don't
think we even need to bother with any of this. We obviously just I don't think we need to bother
with this. The historian in me wants to just put stroke, but the corner in me knows that I need
to do finish this job and see it through. Now there was a large hole on the top of Abraham
Lincoln's head. I wonder what that was all and you know, it really aggravates me about these
computer problems that were always having makes me want to it makes me want to load myself up in
a freaking car. Anyways, tell myself the cause of death and what time it is. Anyways, all I'm
saying is I'm sick and tired of being in the stupid museum talking about people who died back in
the 1800s. Yeah, he died from a stroke. I've been a coroner for 30 years and I know hole in head equals
stroke. Everything was so much easier in 1988 when we kept everything in files in our basements.
We didn't have to do none of this mumbo jumbo upload it to the computer and get it lost in the
data base. I can't even get in because I locked myself out of this computer because I forgot my
past. Hey, you remember the Rickman case? You remember the guy he hung himself in his garage
and nobody found him for three weeks and then bubbled up like a balloon and exploded all over
his garage. We had to take care of that. Like, here's my question. What pieces do we bring back?
That's that was my question. Is that the guy that all we found was his testicles and they were blue?
Yeah, that was the guy. That was the guy. The rest of them was just mush, but it was kind of all
around the room. So it was kind of hard. You know, they said perform an autopsy, perform an autopsy.
And here we are going, how the heck do we perform an autopsy with this piece or that piece? Well,
Richie, I think I'm going to have to go because it's 12 o'clock and there's a Cinnabon with my name.
I thought you were going to say a synagogue with your name on it. Anyways, that makes sense.
I guess I'll go to, I don't really understand why we're in a history museum in the first place
to try to figure out how certain people died in certain ages. But you know what is what it is.
We're coroners. We're weird. That was the improv. I can't believe I don't know why I said Abraham
Lincoln. Everybody knows how that fool died. Do you like how I was just like, you know what,
I've been a coroner for 30 years. I'll tell you, it's a stroke. It's a stroke. Yeah,
sounds like someone else I know. Well, we're going to move into our E. Claire, which is our
positive advice. And I think it's my turn to go first, maybe. Yeah. So my positive advice is to,
is to slow down and to not rush things so quickly because again, we've said this before, but a lot
of times we say, Oh, I miss the good old days and we don't know that we're in the good old days
until they're gone. Right. So sometimes we just want to rush and rush and rush and get to the next
thing. But I have that problem. And so if you just stop and enjoy the moment, then you can be like,
you know what, this is great. And you won't be that person that's always looking back, right?
You're sitting in the moment and you're anticipating what's going forward and you won't
be one of those people that's like, man, I missed the good old days. It's like, yeah,
but you really didn't appreciate them when you were in them. So yeah, that's my positive advice.
Yeah. So mine is on a really, really different random note. But what's been going on here lately
is I've noticed there are so many people that are easily fleeced by certain things. And if I can
share some life experiences of how I've been fleeced before and what some signs are, that's
definitely going to be one. So my positive advice, look out for certain things. And one of the things
to look out for if somebody is trying to tell you and overly tell you that something is what
something is like, you know, listen, I'm the best IT guy there ever was. If somebody is trying to
tell you that, something's wrong. Okay, I call it the delicious wrapper effect. When I was in high
school in the lunchroom, they used to serve us these chicken sandwiches on these chicken sandwiches
were gone awful. Like I'm talking they're really, really bad. But what I thought was funny is at
a certain point, because they weren't getting they couldn't get rid of them. Pretty much all the
students knew that the chicken sandwich was bad. And so they stopped serving the chicken sandwiches
just out in the open. They started wrapping them in these wrappers that said delicious all over
them, right? And I noticed a lot more people started getting them once it said delicious on
there. But then they were just utterly disappointed when they'd get back and go, This is the same
old crappy chicken sandwich, right? There are so many times in life where people would say, This is
the best thing that it ever has been. You know, just remember, if it's too if it looks too good
to be true, it probably is. And if somebody's trying to tell you they're the absolute best,
but there's no evidence to back that up. And yes, please look for the evidence. Like if this guy
says he's the best salesman in the world, but he's driving a pinto, like that ought to tell you
something, right? Right. So I'm just saying, keep an eye out. There's a lot of people out there
that'll tell you this is the best thing for you. I'm the best at this, you should trust me because
of this. This product is the best, you know, whatever the case may be. Heck, it could be family,
right? There's a lot of times family to tell you, Oh, you know, you should trust me because of this,
this and this. Yeah, yeah, just just keep an eye out for that sort of game is sold. Not cold. I'm
telling you, if you are the best, your work will show it, right? People will know you won't have
to say it. You won't have to put that label on yourself. Other people put it on there for you.
So yeah, man, it's been a great show. Yeah, man. So let's start plugging stuff.
TV trash can calm that's TV trash can calm. Listen, guys, we want you to interact with this a
little bit. If you want to talk to us, we got plenty of means to do that. Of course, you can
always comment or message us directly on Facebook or Instagram, even through YouTube, I believe you
can do that. And but if you don't want to do that, you want to send us an email with some suggestions
or what you think, or even a hey, how you doing, you know, you can always send that over to trap
or sorry, trash can TV one at gmail.com, trash can TV one at gmail.com. And of course, you got
the website at TV trash can.com. So go check that out. But yeah, man, we want to interact with you
guys because we see you guys listening, but we want to know what you guys think. And even if you
want to say what's up, of course, we'll give individual shout outs. So you know, let's have
a good time with this thing. We really want to break it out season three. So look forward to that
as well. One day, if we ever not if when we get big enough, we should do like a live show, you
know what I mean? Just do the podcast live in front of a live audience. Yeah, in front of a live studio.
Why? That's just what I was thinking. Well, I'm ready to take this to the trash can, aren't you?
Yeah, man, I'm ready to take it out to trash. Well, I'm Chris and I'm Michael and this is the Donut Box Party.
She don't care about what's in style. She just likes way smiles. It takes more than marble
time living on.
Living on time without somebody.
