Trash Camp presents that one friend that asked you to help them move. Yeah, Mike
I'm so glad that you're here man. Appreciate you coming out here, bro. We don't have that much to move
I'm so glad that you came out dude. No one else wanted to help me move. So I appreciate you man
Yeah, man, you've been my friend for a long time. It's no problem. I don't mind at all
And yeah, you say it's not that much stuff. So I'm not real worried about it
You know what it's not in the morning. We'll be out of here in a few hours, right?
Oh, yeah, for sure for sure. Maybe I saw it about the stairs and everything, but let me just give you a layout man
So we got we got the bed over here. We got the dresser
We got the table. We got the couch. Oh, man. I forgot to tell you bro
We got this heavy all-mort thing, dude
Oh, it barely fit in the door when I got in here, bro. It's pretty heavy, but uh, yeah, yeah
Oh, dude, I also forgot we got that love seat, bro
You didn't tell me you lived on the fourth floor and we're still climbing stairs. Yeah, bro
Yeah, I'm sorry dude like yeah, that's a bunch of stairs, but we should be able to knock this out pretty quick
Yeah, yeah for sure for sure. All right, man. So I guess what do you want to start with?
And all you know all all of it seems pretty pretty heavy. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely heavy
So I figured since it's all heavy
I think we we can go ahead and start with the packing and everything like that
We can go ahead and just pack everything up because I haven't gotten a chance to pack all the all all my stuff up
So wait wait like nothing's in boxes or nothing. Oh, yeah, bro. I just have a
Honest this move just kind of popped up on me. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, man
But didn't you have to give you a place like a 68 notice you were leaving? Yeah. Yeah, bro
But yeah, I mean it won't take us that long to box everything up man. I mean we could just throw everything in a box
I know I know it looks like a lot, but it's really not what you just go with all
Well, and when you got to be out by man like what do we got to have this all done? Oh, yeah
I got to be out by noon, bro. Yeah, we got to be out by bro. It's not in the morning like we got three hours
Yeah, yeah, well, we might as well. We better go ahead and get get packing. I don't have a dolly. Yeah
Yeah, we better get this when it gets started else. They're gonna have the security guard. Yeah, I don't have a dolly either
So, uh, yeah, we better get we better get started
Hi, I'm Michael and I'm for this is the donut box podcast
Podcast man, it's gonna be a great episode. I'm excited man. How are you doing this week?
Doing good man. We're back to our normal format. We had a fun last week where we
Remastered the first episode which was always great because we got to listen to it and go back to way back in the beginning and
Do it the way we want to do it. So if you haven't heard that yet go back and check out our last episode as well
Really appreciate that. But yeah, we appreciate all of our fans all across the globe
Man, where are some of the places internationally we got? Oh, of course in Australia down in Africa in the Middle East
Canada for sure also a lot in the UK in London
Of course in Ireland over in Spain France in the Russia area. So yeah, we got a lot of national international listeners
Man us wise, you know, don't don't make me start singing patriotic songs
But East Coast West Coast North South all over the place our friends up in Canada as well our neighbors to the north
We really appreciate you guys. So yeah, man, let's get started
With our first segment which is our old-fashioned donut, which is a story or in this case
It's gonna be a character from our past. So Chris this person we've kind of talked about him before yes
You know, we really haven't expanded upon this character. I don't know man
You know, I was thinking about this before the podcast and I was thinking about you know
Because there's a lot with this person, right? Like there's a lot like we're probably gonna have a few other things
Just on this person like old-fashioned wise
He's got to be one of the deepest characters that we have wouldn't you say or at least like I don't know for me
There's a lot there. Yeah, I could I could talk a lot about this guy
I
Will try to do my very best. I will I promise I will try my best to talk about him in a positive light
I don't know. He again. He was our our youth pastor. I think we called him pastor Tim in a previous episode
Well, I mean he was our youth pastor. So think about it from sixth grade to
12th grade so about seven years. We knew this guy and of course as you've been listening
We were at the church almost every every week and multiple times during the week. So we saw a lot of this
I'm gonna pause you just right quick. I don't know or go ahead and finish your point
But I got something I got to ask you before I was just gonna say this guy is just a different
Different cat man like again if you grew up in church, you always have that crazy youth pastor, but this guy
Was on a different level man just on a different level. Do you do you remember the first interaction?
because we knew of him right because I
Don't know we were in children's church beforehand, right? So naturally youth is the next step up
But you know and kind of didn't associate why would the youth pastor associate with some kids, right?
So didn't really know each other but once we moved over. What was your first experience with?
Do you remember your first experience with him like the first time you ever talked to him or had something happen?
Good, I remembered mine for some reason to be honest not really. I don't really remember my first ever interaction with him
I remember sitting in on his services
To be honest with you man like in those seven years. I can maybe tell you
One or two things I ever really remember him preaching on just because he didn't really preach he more went on
Personal tirades or personal rants and then just picked out a scripture and then just decided to rant about think about
So, you know, we have what fries our donuts, right? Think about what fries our donuts
You know not really in our style be it his but what fries your donuts?
Except you put a scripture in front of it and then you talk about what fries your donuts after that that was essentially what it was
Would is that an accurate statement? Yes, it's basically a this is what fries my donuts
This is what you're doing wrong and most of the time it whatever fried his donuts
It was usually something that had happened to him maybe an encounter that he had had with a youth kid or maybe it was a
Like a personal topic that just really made him mad
Somebody had done something to just make him upset or make him bad and that's usually what his tirades were about
Well, Chris, let's talk about it because in season three we're going no holds bar. So the first thing
Let's see if you remember this the first thing I remember was
There was a lot against brands, right? Like I remember some of the tirades were about
Brands and how they're not
Okay, so let me give you a prime example. So this was around 2010
And I remember axe body spray was a big thing or axe period, right?
I think they just come out with the body wash or something like that
and of course if you've ever seen an axe body spray or
or
axe commercial on TV
It's very it's kind of edgy, right? I mean, it's very PG-13. I would say it's very it's a lot of time
It's a guy with girl up on you know, it's good marketing
I remember he would show us like a commercial an axe commercial like there's that and it's like but this same company also
Has dove like though the ladies, you know soap and it's like, you know
Show that commercial and it's like women are beautiful and you know this so you know how dove is right where it's like very
Gentle and you know, I don't know that different marketing tone
He's like just the same company and it's like so we should outlaw
We should outlaw the parent company and everything like that. Do you remember stuff like that? Oh, yeah
I mean, there's plenty of people that are like, oh, yeah
Don't don't get apple because the bite taken out of the apple is a code for the sin that Adam and Eve did and I'm just like
Okay, whatever bro. I also remember. Okay, so we're kind of like tying this in but like so
Whenever we were about to go like on these quote-unquote
Spiritual weekends where it was like all weekend long like you it was basically like a lock-in
But like you were do like go into like
Worship sessions and all this stuff well before you had to like fill out this paper and
Basically, it was like almost like a professional of all the sins that you've ever done
And it was like and they have these boxes that you can check
It's like I've had impure thoughts or I've thought about a woman this way
No, no, no, no, no, okay check and then it's like, oh, yeah
I I played Dungeons and Dragons you can check that box. It's like, oh, yeah, I've had Pokemon cards
I can check this box and so I was like, okay. I don't know why Dungeons and Dragons is a sin
I don't know why Pokemon either and so what you would do is at the like
It was on one of the nights but they had like a whole message about you know
Submitting your sins to God and you take that paper and you would throw it in the fire
And it would be burned away and I was like I get the concept
But like I was like Pokemon cards really bro or like Dungeons and Dragons like they were super like hardcore strict with like that
Stuff yeah for sure some of the other ones I remember
Don't have craft foods like craft macaroni and cheese and stuff like that don't have any of that because they support of
the
lbgtqia movement it wasn't called that at the time, but there you go
Wasn't supportive to gay rights, so
They were craft wise so it's like we shouldn't support them as a church. I remember that so don't have craft products
The one that I remember the absolute most is I guess somebody had gotten in trouble
And just kind of going back to what Chris said before a lot of times we got this sort of thing because
He caught somebody doing something they probably weren't supposed to whether it was big deal or not
And I don't know I guess he caught somebody with the gal or something
And I remember we had a Sunday school class with all boys and it was in a different building than the main church building
And so we were over that over there and all I remember is him going over the song of Solomon and talking about
He was just like talking about what love is
You don't know what love is and all this other stuff and then all I remember it's like all you should be focused on you should
Be loving Christ and then all I know is it got worked all the way up to you don't have the balls to stand up for Christ
And that was the biggest day and I remember there was I don't know why there was always somebody that would come by and take numbers
Is that still normal Chris if somebody would come by and be like how many people are in Sunday school kind of thing?
Yeah, like take attendance. Yeah, you know, I just remember it being you know now
It's not that huge of a thing
But I remember he said that right as the the number counter came in and it was it was a lady
And I just remember you're like, oh, he said he said you know balls to stand up for Christ in front of her
Oh, but you know, it was always stuff like that, you know, it was always like, you know, you shouldn't be doing this
You should be you should be standing up for Christ and you don't have it, you know, you don't you don't have the discipline
Yeah, but he never came to our small group Sunday school class before like and so he came that one time and never came back again
So it was like, oh, yeah, like definitely somebody messed up in the group like somebody had another thing that like they were big on was like
You can't listen to it like any secular music and then they were like they were like don't
They were like don't have it. You can't have a Facebook don't or sorry
You can't have a myspace
Get Facebook instead because Facebook is the Christian alternative to my space look how that turned out which I don't know who
Which I don't know who brought that up a Mark Zuckerberg did not start that there's no Christian thing or whatever
Like I know my space had some crazy stuff on it, but I don't know anyways
There was that but I'll tell you this much
He also
Side note, I remember I was listening to Christian reggae music and if you didn't know that was the thing it is and there's some
Actually good Christian reggae folks out there if you want to listen to that
I remember listening to that and trying to convince him that it was Christian and he did up telling me that
There were spirits in there that were gonna come out and it's the style of music
It doesn't matter what they're talking about that sort of thing
It would be stuff like that
But on the same token what was interesting was he was a huge
Like rock and roll fan or heavy metal fan like he loved Christian like almost scream music men
And then really hard metal music and then of course he was back in the 80s
So he really liked this band called striper. You remember the striper stuff Chris. Yeah, they were they were they're actually pretty decent
like they're they're they're the equivalent of a like a van Halen or a
One of those 80s hair bands. I guess I'll say this the the main singer guy
Definitely has a vocal range like dudes got a really good vocal range, but he can hit a really really high note
Which in the 80s was exactly what you wanted for rock and roll music and don't get me wrong
It's it's very good, but not when it was on repeat man
I remember there was one song in particular to hell with the devil that was the one that was like on repeat all the time
The bad part is is that he made us sing that song during worship time like
Basically the the youth group was his was like his playground like not in like a bad like pedophile type way
But like it was his playground for where it is like, oh, yeah
I feel like putting on this music video
So I'm gonna put this on or we're gonna play this song for worship because I feel like it or
We're gonna talk about this
Cuz I feel like it and I'm telling you man like he wouldn't call your name out
But he would make you a public spectacle. He would definitely embarrass you if you were messing up
In a oh sometimes sometimes he would though like there. Oh, yeah
You call you out my name. I'm gonna tell you story. I'm gonna tell you story really quick
Devolved I don't know why I was this is I'm gonna tell you this story and I'm gonna tell you another story
I know we're running long on time
But so it's our it's our podcast talk as long as you want just let it so first of all
first of all, I remember during it was this party and it was called the masquerade party and
And I was used as his sermon illustration
But I didn't volunteer to be used as a sermon illustration
He was talking about how how people like to wear a mask and you can't really see who they are and he just like walked out as
He was talking to the mill of crowd and like he just took my mask off
He was like see he was like you put this mask on and did it and you try to make people think you're this and that
He's like put on the inside. He was like people don't really know who you are
And I was just like and I was just kind of embarrassed because like everybody was looking at me
And I was like, bro, I don't know what this fool is doing
But okay, then the second second story real quick. He was talking about I don't remember what he was talking about
But it was in like his Sunday school small group and he was all talking about how
How even though you're still young
Like you're 13 or 14 you're too you're too young
Or you're yeah, you're not old enough to be a be a father
But you're still old enough to be a dad like you could still be a dad and have a kid
So you need to be careful about like what you're doing and what you're saying to these ladies
Do you remember that and he called a certain person's name out?
Specifically yep, and he was just like you could be a father. It's just like dang
I'm 15 bro like I'm not trying to be but at the same time this dude was kind of like
He was talking to older older girls and they weren't getting
You know pretty steamy so I think he did use that opportunity to call that that guy out
Oh man, so you devolves are another story. I gotta tell about another one
So I'm actually headed out of country with the dude going on a missions trip
And we had to stay behind because some other stuff that happened
But anyways, we're in line in security and it's just he and I and
I was 16 at the time
And he starts going on about and Chris. I don't know man
I don't know if I was necessarily what you would consider a ladies man
Like yeah, I flirted don't get me wrong
But like I never really had no like steady gals in my life
Or anything like that or I don't think I was actively dating a bunch of people in the youth group or anything like that
um
but anyways
He starts giving me this whole lecture about
How um, I'm looking in the in the wrong pool
He's like he's like you like to fish right and I'm like, yeah, I like to fish
He's like well imagine fishing in the sewer ditch and it's been stagnant for years
That's what it's like looking in the world. You need to look for yourself a godly woman
That's like that's like fishing in the stream of life
He's like the most pristine stream you ever saw and that's where you gotta find your wife and I was just like
Yeah, I appreciate that
But like I'm really again. I'm 16 years old. I'm really not looking for like a wife or a relationship
Or they weren't even looking for a relationship. I'm just looking to have a good time, right?
Here's the thing
I don't know what it was about Micah and I think I think it was just because
The energy that you put off was just definitely like that 16 horn dog
Like you were just looking for anybody that you think so bro
But like but like here's the thing like you weren't rude about it
You weren't vulgar about it. You were just like, yeah, I'm just gonna hit on every girl
I see which is what every 15 year old 16 year old kid does like
Like that's not a problem. So like Micah kind of developed this reputation is like, oh, yeah, you gotta watch Micah
He's gonna go after the but he but rarely not to dog on you
Rarely ever did that ever work for you. It's not like you were not a problem
You were not a threat. You were probably one of the last people
They had to worry about you doing something inappropriate
with a girl at the church like
Yeah, bro, if we're being honest my game was pretty weak
Like I I don't know most of the time
Like hindsight 2020 I think about some of the things I tried to try to spin at and tried to see like oh man
See what would stick and boy was I uh
Was I pretty bad the opposite and when it did come your way like when the girls were like trying to flirt with you
It was told you were totally oblivious to it. It went right over your head
So it's sure sure enough. I was totally oblivious to it and then when I did catch on to it and be like, oh, yeah girl
I like you there just like oh, yeah, I liked you four weeks ago and now you in the friend zone
It's like oh man my life six and then I just didn't realize but you know what honestly
I think back and that was probably the best thing honestly if I if I knew how to
Uh get with women well back in the day would not have gone
Super great, but man, I'm ready to move on to the next uh segment if you are I am and just one last thing
I say that uh, Micah was oblivious
I was also oblivious to that as well. So he wasn't the only one, but yeah, I'm ready to move on again
Thank god or we might have been fathers too soon. The next segment is
The jelly donut or the jail report which this week we're gonna be doing something else
It's called a coast guard because you washed up
And uh, yeah, man, we're gonna talk about some celebrities that um, they done man
They they washed up that used to be good, but now
Not anymore. So man, you ready to start? I'm ready, man. I'm gonna take you back to a day. Think about it. It's 2005
eight o'clock and what's coming on on that sunday night? It's extreme makeover home edition
And if you were like my family it was switching between football
And whatever tie pinnington and the crew were doing over there with extreme makeover home edition, but it brings me to my first person
Dang tie pinnington
We need to call the coast guard because you don't wash up. Yeah, he's washed up
Chris that man that man. Have you seen him lately? I think you know, I saw him doing some other show
It was like a diy show or something like that and bro
Not only was he not great on television homie looked
Absolutely terrible. Oh, yeah, it was like a lottery commercial. Yeah, he yeah
He he came down like the chimney upside down, but I saw him. I was like, oh, bro
You're looking rough. He's been on some like
Not extreme makeover home edition
But yeah, he's been on some like home renovation shows and I'm like, oh, yeah, like some hgtv kind of stuff
But here's the thing bro. I'm like, I'm like, you know what? I missed tie pinnington on the cocaine like he's not as fun
Yeah, man. He was all on cocaine in the early 2000s, but now he's not see, you know, it's and you know
He was also drinking a lot and I just I'm just saying cocaine drinking did him a favor
Just like some people it's cocaine is never okay. Just hear me that I'm not endorsing it's not it's not
But I think we do also have to be honest like cat Williams
Would say and we do have to be honest and say the facts are
Ty pinnington was a lot more funny now
I wouldn't say funny, but he was a lot better on television and he was a lot
I don't know. He was a lot better to watch. So just saying
Okay, from an entertainment value, homie washed up. All right, next one. Now talking about Michael Myers, old boy from
Call the coast guard on him. Mike Myers, man. Your time was the 90s with SNL late 80s early 90s
My thing is why what happened? What happened? He was funny. All you have to do is keep the same style
Did he just want to diversify or what's going on? No, I
I will tell you though his style of humor
Is only specific to that era man. And so it's it is one of those things of like his comedy
It was funny for that era, but like now in 2024. It's not that
Like not that funny. I say what you will like say what you will about
Jim Carrey. I love Jim Carrey, but to be honest with you
I don't think he would make it in 2024 bro
Like I think his style is definitely like a 90s
Early 2000s like even some of the references he makes him a
Aspen to our pet detective and some of the jokes he makes. I'm like, yeah, bro
That was definitely a 90s thing that that would not work today. Well, I mean and
You know, even Jim Carrey kind of evolved say
Say like yes, man, right like later on, you know into the 2000s. He was definitely a different character
It was definitely a different character
Um, but say what you will Jim Carrey is still great and
Yeah, he will never be on the washed up list even if that is the truth because we love him
Uh, but back to Mike Myers what I will say about Mike Myers though
I think we talked about this before I tried to watch the pentaverate and you know that had a lot of potential to it
Like I thought oh man like this looks like he could actually be funny
That that was not funny at all. They could have done so much different and I think
I don't know. I don't know man. Just he just ain't who he used to be man
He just ain't who he used to be washed up call the coast guard. All right
So the next person and you know what I never really liked this person from the beginning and I'm glad that they're washed up
And that is Ellen DeGeneres. I never thought that she was very funny
And she always kind of gave that you know, I'm a I'm an eight hole vibe and turns out she was dude
I called it for years. I said it for years and everybody was like, oh, no
You're just saying that because because of her lifestyle it I said her lifestyle doesn't have anything to do with it
I can just tell that she is just not and like again when she was on the sitcom
Before she even got her before she even got her show. I was like dude. You're like you're just not funny to me
Like I don't connect with you. I don't get your humor. I don't I don't even know what your humor is supposed to be
I don't get it. Yeah, I don't I don't understand but even now
You know
Even Ellen fans, right? Like hardcore fans her show is obviously not on the air anymore because of the controversy that's happened
but
You know a lot of her fans even towards it was like man, the show is just not very great
one of the biggest things that was a draw to her show towards
the last few years I feel like we're
They're stupid like games almost that they would do where they would pull people from the audience
But really and truly again that was Ellen kind of being an a-hole like there was a lot of times where it's like
Okay, now she has the choice of like she would always put people through the absolute worst, right?
I don't know it was she always uh, she was a jerk, but she disguised it or tried to disguise it with humor
I had those. Yeah, I can't stand it. All right. We're gonna run through the next ones right at it quickly
um
The next one Cedric the entertainer ol said he the entertainer which uh, he hasn't he hasn't entertained me for years
He's never entertained me boy. Oh
Let cat williams pop off
Cat williams said that everything that cedric's ever been in has been canceled and i'm like
Yeah, bro. Like I even his stand-up like anything i've ever watched him in
I've never thought he was
Is entertaining never thought he was funny if you got to put the entertainer in your name, dude
You're not bro. It's the what what can I say? It's the delicious rapper
Factor right there, but something else too man. He even like even if he was good right now
What makes him washed up too?
What what is he doing? Like I was over at um, my wife's grandparents house, right?
And we were over there watching tv and you know how sometimes people let the tv just kind of slip and it keeps on going
You know to whatever the next thing is on tv
You know, he's got a sitcom. I don't even know what it's called
But I mean bro. It's a white people show like it's an old white people show
And that's that's what he's on and bro. He's not only is he not funny
It's almost it's just really painful like the the wife is the mom from everybody hates chris and but everybody else in that show
Is white like it's and I'm not saying that's a bad thing
But at the same time it's just like with the canned, you know, it's it's a typical
CBS sitcom right and you're sitting here just like man
This guy is really and the fact that it's coming out that like he he stole cat. Williams jokes like I don't have respect for you
Bro, all right, man. This one is you know, this one ain't gonna be what fries you donuts, but it's gonna be close
Hulk Hogan. Oh, yeah, that guy's washed up. I mean, he's trying to stay relevant
He's definitely like, oh, yeah, I'm still the greatest in the world
I never thought Hulk was that great never been a whole fan and everyone's like why Christopher
He's he's one of the godfathers of legends and legends and it's like hulk hogan
Hogan only cares about one person and that's hulk hogan like there have been so many stories that have come out where hulk was supposed to
Help the locker room and help them get a title and then at the last minute he like no
That's not gonna work for me and he's just a very selfish person
But like I saw a commercial for the royal rumble coming up and hulk hogan was like, yeah
40 years a hulk of mania brother that all these stars that you see now is because of me
Da da da da da da, it's like, you know what you never know who's gonna show up to the royal rumble
And I might just have one left in me and I'm like, oh nobody wants to see your old behind wrestle like nobody cares
Nobody cares about you like you're irrelevant like that that era is gone. It's dead
Let me ask you this if he's still is he still a big cash cow like is it still a big cash grab? No
When he shows up
He's not like I mean if he like kind of shows up again, but a lot of those fans are like
Now the person that hit that is kind of taking his spot is the rock like because all the
Millennials have grown up
And so now anytime the rock shows up like that's what the cash grab is which i'm not a rock fan either
But that's a different story for a different day weird weird side note that I read about
Um, did you know that and this is totally different sport totally different topic?
But did you know that dale urnhart is still the highest?
um grossing like as far as like t-shirts and and uh
Merchant dice that's nascar's number one cash cow still dale urnhart even though he died all those years ago
Oh, yeah, it's because of all the I don't know all the red nicks
Bro, they love it. Yeah, I guess bro. All right last one on this segment and we're gonna move on real quick
Uh, david spade. Oh, jeez that guy washed up dude and again that guy was I didn't really like Tim bro
I didn't think he was I didn't think he was good to begin with like he's always been real annoying to me like even
In the movies like tommy boy and something like that man. I never liked him
He he is kind of funny and again
I say kind of funny and some things but he just seems like
He always seemed like a pervert to me
And also too like I feel like him and what's his name? Uh,
Rob Schneider. I feel like they always just rode adam samers coattails. Yeah, I
Rob Schneider for sure
Rob Schneider's never been funny. All right, man. Well, we're gonna move on to our next segment, which is the donut hole
We're gonna run you through this rather quick, but I think you'll like this one, man
This one's a little bit different. Uh, this donut hole
We're gonna talk about the origins of old sayings. So like just random idioms that you can hear
Um, and we'll go through them and where they came from man some different terms and stuff like that
Okay, I might know some of the first one the term sandwich
Do you know where the term sandwich came from? Like I know most people probably know earl of sandwich
But do you know anything else about that? All I know is the earl of sandwich. That's all I know
All right. So this is the backstory. So sandwich
Uh, did come from the earl of sandwich now the earl of sandwich is not a particular person, right?
There is still to this day an earl of sandwich
Um, but the particular one that they were talking about was in the 1800s and or 18th century
I'm sorry and pretty much the earl of sandwich
Um
Was a gambler. It was a degenerate. He was an alcoholic a degenerate and was always broke because of his gambling
So what happened and it sandwiches?
Um, two pieces of bread with something in between
Uh, was a poor person's meal, right? So it actually became as or started off as a joke of like, oh, you're eating a sandwich
Like oh, ha ha ha you're eating a
degenerate
Poor person sandwich kind of thing. I did not know that but uh, that's I mean that makes sense
So every time we say sandwich, it's you know, disgracing the earl of sandwich name
But nobody seems to know that so that was that one was pretty interesting. All right next one cat got your tongue
Do you know that one? Yes, I do. Where did it come from? So, uh, of course the meaning is
um for somebody to remain silent or when someone is remaining silent when they're expected to speak and apparently
Um, there's two stories of how this came to be one is one came from the cat and nine tails, which is um
a torture device pretty much and
Basically, it would leave the victim speechless
So they would say oh what cat got your tongue because you're getting whipped by it or the second one
might come from ancient egypt where liars tongues were actually cut out of their mouths as punishment and fed to cats
So then that could also have been cat got your tongue. So that could have started from there. That's interesting
I never knew that. Um, so the next one the walls have ears. Have you heard about this one?
No, I do know balls the wall and where that
Comes from but have have you ever heard somebody use that term?
Um, the walls have ears. Oh, yeah, I use that all the time
So yeah, basically for those of you, you don't know what that means
It basically means somebody could be eavesdropping or oh somebody could else could be listening. So you better be careful
what you're saying, um, so
The origin was actually france and it was a particular palace and it was believed that this palace had a network of listening tubes
Um, to where it would be possible to hear what's being said in all the different rooms
And people say that's how the queen at the time discovered all the political secrets and plots. Oh, wow. That's interesting
Never knew that. So yeah, that's uh, the possibility of where the term
The walls have ears come from
All right, the next one bury the hatchet. Have you heard that one?
Uh, yes, I have the meaning of bury the hatchet is of course ending a conflict or you know, some sort of fight that's happening
You know, you tell the other person like oh, let's bury the hatchet. So
The origin of that it was a negotiation between the Puritans and the Native Americans here in the United States
Um, and the negotiation was basically
Uh, that the Native Americans would bury all their weapons making them inaccessible. Therefore literally burying the hatchet
Wow
That's uh, that's pretty interesting. All right, man. So last one here. Um
Have you heard of so this one is cold feet, you know where cold feet comes from?
Um, bait. Yeah about like, um, especially on weddings where you're like, oh, I got cold feet. So I ran away. So, um
And the full meaning to you know is um, the loss of confidence or something like that and basically take off
The origin is actually a military term and it was from um, it doesn't say from when
But it was basically from warriors who had been standing too long and their feet had been frozen and were not able to rush into battle
And it said because
Um, they didn't have the confidence that they would go win
So they just stood there instead. They got cold feet and they left
That's the origin of it. Oh wow. Didn't know that. It's interesting. Yeah, I figured break out a few of the the origins
Um, and you know, there there's some definitely some interesting ones. Um
Okay, let's do one more because this one's good big wig, you know where the term big wig comes from
Oh, yeah, I'm sure it comes from like the 1700s and like parliament and all that good. Yeah
That's pretty it's pretty close for those of you. You don't know big wig
Especially here in the states if you refer to somebody like uh big in power or big up in business, you know, all he's a big wig kind of thing
So the origin is back in the 18th century. So you good job there
The most important political figures would wear the biggest most flamboyant wigs
And of course all the influential people had big wigs. So they were called big wigs and nowadays same thing and just kind of carried down
Um, it's interesting how those things carry down. Yes, it is. It's interesting. I got one for you
Have you heard the term saved by the bell? I have but um, I'm not sure the origin of it. So back in the day
This is probably around like I'd say 1500 1600s
With modern medicine or not modern medicine with medicine a lot of people were getting pronounced
Dead, but they really weren't dead. Oh
Yeah, I think I see where you're going
They would they would get buried alive and um
And this is where like the vampires and zombies for folklore comes from
And people would try to like get out of their graves and some of them would be able to bust out of them
So, uh, but they found out that there were a lot of people that were dying
Because they really weren't
Dead they were alive so that what they would do is they would tie bells around their hands
And so if someone accidentally got buried alive, they would just like try to
Move and shake the bell and then there would be a person that was
Um on the quote-unquote graveyard shift
That's also another term and so they would go and dig up the person
And so they wouldn't be buried alive. So that's where the term saved by the bell comes from
Yeah, it's not interesting interesting stuff. Yeah interesting stuff. I love stuff like that
Yeah, it's all a little stuff that you say on a daily basis
But you never know what that comes from and a lot of times sometimes it's a very literal meaning and you go
Oh, wow, that is extremely literal and then there are sometimes where it's like, okay
It's kind of kind of weird how that came about
Um, but all right, man, let's switch gears and um, man, let's get the heat pumping
In the friars because it's time for what fries my dough, Chris. What fries you up?
You're gonna appreciate this one. I do not like people
That complain but when you try to offer them a solution, they don't like your solution
They just really want to complain and they don't want to hear your solution preach brother preach. No, keep on going
I'm just yeah, I'm telling you man. I people you'll be like people will be like, oh
I'm so stressed. I'm so tired and all and I just work way too much. I'm just so tired
And then you're like, well, have you thought about taking a day off? Oh, I can't take a day off
I got so much to do. I got so much to do and then it's like, well, maybe if you
Well, tell me all you got to do they tell you like, you know, well, you could really push that to monday
And you could save that and maybe you could do this on a different day and just rearrange your schedule
And then they're like, uh, they really just want to complain and they really don't want their situation to get fixed
They just want to complain about it and it's that victim mentality that I don't like and it's like, well
I guess I'm always gonna be this way and I just hate how my life is and
It's like, well, are you doing anything to change it? Well, no, I don't want to and any possibility you offer up
Then they just have a problem with it. And I don't yeah and the the hard part too is
Finding out because early on when you're dealing with a person like that before you fully identified like, okay
This is what's going on. You legitimately think like, oh man, their life really is kind of
Um in and up people and everything but the more you get into it the more you realize
Oh, no, they just like to complain. There's a lot that could be done differently
But they just choose not to and most of the time man
It's hard and it's a hard lesson to learn
But you just might as well save you breath because again like chris said all they're trying to do is they're trying to
Get the pity points and if you're not providing the pity points, they don't want your solutions, man
You know what they want from you. They want you to be like, oh, I'm so sorry
I'm sorry. That's I mean, don't be sarcastic, but they want you to be non sarcastic. Oh, I'm so sorry for them all the time
That's exactly what they want. They want the attention. They want all that man
Don't be doing none of that. We ain't trying to have none of that energy around us
We trying to level up in life. We ain't trying to have all that crap also too
Again, we kind of talked about this last week, but it's some people like, oh, yeah, my boyfriend or my girlfriend
They're so horrible and they do all this and da da da da. It's like, well, why don't you leave them?
But I love them. They're so wonderful and it's like bro
Why do you just want to talk crap about the person that you're with like you just like you just want to be like, oh, yeah
This person's awful and then like you get around your you know, your friends or your girlfriends and they're
tearing everybody's spouses down like people just want to complain and toss up and I
I can't do that, bro. Like I got too many things I got to do to sit around and and
Then to have time for people that just don't want to do anything with their life
They're just bumming around doing the same thing that they did 10 years ago at Augusta, Georgia. I'm sorry. That's another rank
Yeah, that's another that's another rank, but I get it or the same things and love it, Texas. Yeah, we calling y'all out
Um, because listen, I'll be I'll be seeing y'all one of the best things about nowadays is social media
Is guess what you get to see what everybody else is doing and I see y'all bum behind sitting around there, but anyways
That's a whole different subject. That's a whole different subject. Don't open that can of worms Christopher
I don't do it. I'd say about that. I'm just if you're gonna complain about
I get that there is a time to just bet I totally get that that's very much needed where you just needed that
but if you are constantly and this is like a chronic
Thing that you're constantly complaining about and you're not wanting to do anything to change your situation
Then you have a problem. I don't feel bad for you about like
Like my thing is if there's tangible things you can do and you just decide not to you can't you can't feel bad like what?
You know is what it is man pretty crazy stuff, but anyways, let's move on into our improv
Which is
What are we doing praying problem?
We're gonna do the questions only game where we have to ask each other or drive a story only asking each other questions
it's kind of a
Little bit of harder of a game, but I like it accused me on my toes, but I have a
I have a suggestion for one of them
We'll do two but I have a suggestion for the first one doing the taxes because it's tax season, baby
Oh, man. It's tax season man. It's tax season. It's not. Oh taxes this year. Which is BS
But anyways, we're gonna talk about that
Um, yeah, man doing tax you want to start it?
Are you filing with turbo tax this year? Why not hr block? What exactly is a 1099?
Why are you asking me for should I should I claim my dog as a dependent this year?
Is your mama dependent this year? Are you really gonna ask me about my mama? She's a dependent
Why wouldn't I ask if your mom's a dependent? Do you not know that my mom can claim me as a dependent?
Why would you be able to do that?
Weren't you aware that I had to move back in with my mom last year?
When did this happen? Did you not hear about the a little thing called covid of 2019 and I lost my job?
I don't remember this day. That's another question. Oh man. That's hard. So you got me there
Um, sometimes it's hard because you you just want to be saying statements anyways. All right. I'll do the next one
Um, I don't know why mainly because I'm looking at something military at boot camp
All right, I'll start okay
What is this supposed to start time is chow is that the drill sergeant you hear that
Did you hear that he kicked five guys in the face last year? Did you hear it might be chuck north?
Where do you think we're gonna get stationed after this?
What time does it look like we're going running in the morning?
Are they gonna get mad because I forgot to bring a poop bush. Where am I supposed to?
Why is the drill sergeant yelling in that guy's face? Why does it yell at me?
Do you get off on something like that? Why would you ask me that question?
Why would you want him to yell in your face? Do you really want to know is it okay for him to hit people like that? Well
Why wouldn't it be don't you read the laws? Isn't it illegal for him to hit people in the face now?
I don't know. I want to come back from that. Yeah. All right
Okay, do you want to do one more? Uh, we can move on to the eclair. All right, man
So our next segment is the eclair, which is our positive advice
And uh, man, I think I went last time so if you want to kick it off. Oh, yeah, I got another leadership thought for you, man
Another leadership thought so again. I am totally stealing from john maxwell's five levels of leadership
So do not quote me. This is not a christopher
Uh, quote, but john maxwell has five levels of leadership, right?
So if you think of it like a pyramid at the very bottom
You're in a leadership position, right and people are going to follow you
Only because of your position because they have to
What you want to do is get to the next level is where people are following you because they want to because you have a
relationship with them then you want to get to the next level where
people
Follow you because of the results you produce then you want to get to the next level level four because people
Uh, know what you've done for them, right? You're developing other people
You're taking people under your wing and then the next level the fifth one
People follow you because they know what you're about and your reputation, right?
And so fifth is like the ultimate peak
But a lot of us stay at that level one because we're like, oh, yeah, i'm the boss
I'm in charts like people got to do what I say
But I found that in order to leave people well and to get more done in the organization
You have to create relational equity with people and again, you don't have to be their very best friend
But like checking in on them being like, hey, how are you doing taking a interest in their personal life again?
Like I said, you don't have to be best friends, but letting them know. Hey like we're in this together
I'm not lording over you like I'm not just pointing and barking orders like I'm in the mud with you
And we're going to get this done together and that's when you start moving up those levels of leadership
And the more the higher you move up the more you get people to follow you
And so yeah, that's a little leadership tip from uh, john Maxwell via christopher. Yeah, so yeah, there we go
Good stuff, man. Um, so mine for this week. It's really really hard and i'm going to use a
aviation analogy it's
You always take off and you always land in the wind no matter into the wind no matter when
Life is getting tough whenever life is kind of not tough
You always got to think whether the wind's calm or the wind's blowing
That's always the direction you have to land with it. It's never going to be easy to do anything
And it's definitely not going to be easy
Um starting something or finishing something right so the thing is remember you're going to face that resistance
But most of the time when you're facing that resistance
It means that you're pushing on what you need to push on
In order to make your life better or to take that next step and whatever your goal is
So just remember man, you feel that wind against you all that's going to do is lift you off
And if you feel that wind against you and you slow it down because you're about to finish up whatever it is
Uh, it's calling it's going to take you home as well. So just remember that
Um, but you have me what what an episode you got to got to love it
um
You know went a little long, but you got to love those little long episodes because we we like to talk we like to talk
So that's good stuff, man, but um
This point we got to plug everything
Um got to got to talk about it man. We've changed up a few things, right?
We changed up a few things at this point in the episode. I normally tell you to go to our socials
Um, and I'm going to tell you to do the same thing, but uh, facebook instagram
We are trash can network at trash can network. So go find us over there like subscribe on that good jazz
