00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Hi, I'm Chris and I'm Micah and this is the Donut Box Pot Pass.

2
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Alright man, dude, we're rocking and rolling through season three.

3
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
It's hard to believe we're already 12 episodes in.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Man, what's your thought process going through?

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
It's hard to believe that we midway through February.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
We had our Valentine's Day episode last week.

7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
I'm telling you man, it's just rolling a little too fast for me.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
What you thinking?

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,000
I don't know.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It's very true what they say.

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Like the older you get, the faster time flies for sure because I'm like, oh yeah.

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Bro, I'm a little nervous because if that's true man, being in our 20s already,

13
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I don't want to know what it's going to be like at 60.

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's going to be waking up and going back to bed again.

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Well, people are always like, yeah, you know, it goes by fast.

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
And I'm like, oh man, I feel like we just did our Valentine's Day episode last year.

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
But you know, time flies when you're having fun, man.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And this Donut Box podcast is definitely the highlight of my week.

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
I hope it's the highlight of our audience's week.

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
So if you're listening, we are so glad to be bringing you this podcast.

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
We want to thank all of our listeners nationally and internationally.

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Where we got listeners listening from.

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Australia, the UK, all over, I mean, Moscow, Russia.

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000
We've got people over in Africa, South Africa as well.

25
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
South America, we've been getting some more attraction in South America.

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Have we not?

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Yes, we have.

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
And you know what's actually funny about Australia?

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:54,000
So this Saturday, there is a WWE event that's going to be in Australia and it's taking place at 7 at night.

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
There time, but you know what time it's airing our time that I have to wake up and watch it.

31
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
It's going to be like 4 a.m. or something.

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Yes, it's at 4 a.m.

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
I have to wake up like a little bit before 4 a.m.

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Just to watch the WWE event.

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
I'm like, man, that's going to be an early morning.

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
It's going to be a little bit different.

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
But I'm planning on waking up early and then going straight back to bed after it's over.

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Shout out to our Aussie listeners in particular there.

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
But yeah, man, we're stateside.

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
For sure.

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina.

42
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
We've had a lot of listeners over on the East Coast for sure.

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Definitely in the Midwest.

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Detroit, Michigan, Chicago, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas.

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
And we can't forget our home state of Texas.

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Also out in California, in Washington, Oregon, Arizona.

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Got to love all those places, man.

48
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Oh, and we can't forget Canada, man.

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Canada has been like a big one in the past, I'd say three months or so.

50
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
So we thank all of our neighbors to the north.

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Heck yeah.

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Well, man, let's get started.

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And if you're new here, we appreciate you giving us a listen.

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Our first segment is the old-fashioned donut, which is our first donut out of the box.

55
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
A story from our past.

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,000
So Chris, a story from our past.

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
In this case, we're going to talk about a few characters.

58
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:26,000
And if you've listened to the podcast before, ROGs, they know all about all the crazy fun times we had at church and how we were always there.

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
And this was no exception.

60
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,000
We've kind of talked about this before, but we'll get into it a little bit more.

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,000
We did a homeless ministry where we cooked for them called the Bridge Ministry.

62
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Isn't that right, Chris?

63
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Yeah.

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:47,000
I want to pause real quick because actually, the other day, Mike and I, we were just hanging out and just talking.

65
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And we were like, hey, I kind of wonder what this church, we call it few hope.

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
But we wonder, like, what does it look like now?

67
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
So we went on their Instagram page, man, like totally redone.

68
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
It's like, it's not even the same place.

69
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
And I'm just thinking, like, wow, this is crazy.

70
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,000
But now there are a lot of, like, ministries like this now.

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:16,000
A lot in a lot of cities, they're called, like, the Dream Center, which is based, the idea came out of the Dream Center, I think, in California.

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Yeah, in Los Angeles.

73
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
In Los Angeles.

74
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
So, like, in 2007, I believe this is when the Bridge Ministry started.

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
And it was, like, pretty revolutionary, like the first of its kind.

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Now, of course, a lot of churches do have homeless ministries, but the thought process was to take church, like, to the homeless and to do it under one of the bridges in our local city.

77
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And so providing a meal, providing clothes, but then also they would have church service outside.

78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
And so I remember the first Saturday that we ever did it.

79
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000
And again, if you have grown up in the church world or if you've ever planted a church, a lot of times you do what's called church in a box,

80
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,000
where you just have everything that's mobile and you put it in a truck and then you unload it, set it up, and then tear it down.

81
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
And that's how it was every Saturday.

82
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
And we did that.

83
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
At first it was every other week, but then it started becoming every week.

84
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Yeah, it became every week.

85
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
While we were doing it, though, it was every other week primarily.

86
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
And the leader of the kitchen was a man named Stan.

87
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
And he only had one eye.

88
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
And the other one was a prosthetic.

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
And so every now and then he'd had to get his eye changed and he would change colors.

90
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000
That's a different story.

91
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
But he was actually a really, really interesting cook, man.

92
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
I'll, something about it, dude never used a measuring cup for anything.

93
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And you got to think about this.

94
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
We're cooking for very large quantities.

95
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
What we're talking about is how many homeless people would show up, man?

96
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,000
It was like at its peak, 300, 400, maybe?

97
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Or do you think it was around that number?

98
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Probably not that much. I'd say probably at least 200 when it first started.

99
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
I got you.

100
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
And so it was still cooking for a large number of people.

101
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
And luckily the church that we went to had an industrial kitchen.

102
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
And so we cooked in there.

103
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000
But dude never used measuring cups or anything.

104
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000
He would just, you know, whether the spice be paprika, salt, whatever,

105
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
he would just, you know, just about that much ought to do it.

106
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
And all he was right on the money.

107
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
This man had one eye and he was eyeballing everything with his one eye.

108
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Yeah, he was literally eyeballing it.

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
You're absolutely, that's great.

110
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:37,000
But yeah, so apparently, and he was big on telling this story as well,

111
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,000
or he got a lot of this cooking fame.

112
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
And I, you know, it was at this, he used to work at this place called Scania's Barbecue.

113
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Now, if you're from the Augusta area or been to the Augusta area,

114
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
this is like a, I guess, a pretty prominent barbecue place, right?

115
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Like, I mean, I've seen it featured in magazines on TV.

116
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
It was like, if you turn on the local news, they would talk about, you know,

117
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
it's being featured in something else.

118
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000
I remember going once and I wasn't too impressed.

119
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Had you ever been to Scania's?

120
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Yeah, I've been to Scania's and let me just sidebar.

121
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Texas barbecue is way different.

122
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
It's a lot of like beef and all that good stuff.

123
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Georgia, it's pork.

124
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
And all I have to say is Texas barbecue is the best.

125
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
But when you, when you don't know any better, when you don't know what,

126
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
what Gourmet takes tastes like, you'll settle for the Taco Bell.

127
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
It's all I guess, I guess that's very true.

128
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000
So, but he was working at the Scania's barbecue and they actually catered to the president.

129
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
It was Truman and actually catered to him.

130
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
And so that was like his big claim to whatever he was.

131
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,000
He was real young, apparently like super, super young and they catered.

132
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:58,000
Now I have to ask you, was this before or after he was homeless and living outside Julian Smith?

133
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
I don't know.

134
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
And by the way, I want to break off and say something too.

135
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
This isn't one fries my donuts, but there's this place called Julian Smith casino.

136
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
I think we talked about this the very first time we talked about him too.

137
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
But there was this place in the Gusta called Julian Smith casino.

138
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
It is not a casino.

139
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I don't know why they call it a casino, but it's like a banquet hall or like an event center.

140
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
So I really don't know why they call it a casino.

141
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:29,000
But anyways, yeah, I don't know the time period in which this was that he cooked for the president.

142
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:37,000
But apparently he wasn't even officially like working for the place because so this is where we should bring in his brother here.

143
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
He had his brother working with us and his name was Steve.

144
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And Steve would always try to counteract this story of, oh, yeah, if you cook for the president, where's the pictures and the story then became, oh, well, there's no pictures because I was getting paid under the table and I wasn't even supposed to be working.

145
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,000
So it's all up for speculation.

146
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Maybe the homeless period was during that.

147
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Maybe he was homeless during that.

148
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Maybe that's why he's getting paid under the table.

149
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Yeah, maybe that's what it is.

150
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Maybe we pieced it together.

151
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Maybe it was simultaneous there.

152
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Something else that was interesting about one eye stand, he did not like the restaurant chain.

153
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
And I actually saw this a few weeks ago.

154
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Do you know Ruby Tuesday was closing like they're they've went bankrupt and they're closing all their restaurants.

155
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Oh, really?

156
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The last time I saw the last time I saw Ruby Tuesday was in the Orlando airport.

157
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
So I I didn't know they still.

158
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Yeah, well, apparently the few of them that left their closing and but back in the day, there was a place called Ruby's Tuesday and it was real prominent and man, did he hate it.

159
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
But his wife absolutely loved it.

160
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So if he ever made us mad, we just call his wife up and be like, yeah, Stan said he wants to go to Ruby Tuesday tonight.

161
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
And oh, did he?

162
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
And yeah, it was great.

163
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Hold on.

164
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Can I I know I know we keep taking rabbit trails, but Stan also knew a lot of what was going on in my personal life at home.

165
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,000
And the only reason why he knew that is because my mom had this friend named.

166
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Well, I guess she thought it was her friend, but it was her Bible story friend named Doreen.

167
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And I guess my mom confided like a lot of stuff like that was going on like just you know how you know, like things happen in marriage and all that good stuff.

168
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Well, I guess Doreen was a big blabbermouth and she always told Stan's wife and then Stan's wife always told Stan.

169
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And so Stan would always come up to me like, Hey, buddy, are you doing OK?

170
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
I heard what's happening at home.

171
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Wait, hold on.

172
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
No, no, no, no, no, no.

173
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
I didn't know about this.

174
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Okay, hold on.

175
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
We're divulging even even Mike is finding out on the podcast about this.

176
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Hold on.

177
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
I had no clue about that.

178
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
All Doreen blabbermouth.

179
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Yeah, Stan knew a lot about my home life just because Doreen was a blabbermouth and blabbermouth to Stan's wife.

180
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And Stan would just be like, Hey, like if you ever want to talk, I'm here and I'm like, what do you know?

181
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
And he'd be like, Oh, yeah, I know you're I know.

182
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
I know things aren't going so great at home.

183
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
And I'm like, Oh, OK.

184
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Yeah, I remember there was a there was another time when I had my first girlfriend and I don't I don't remember what happened.

185
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:26,000
I think I was like text there or called or no, no, no, that's what happened that we were in the middle of cooking and she called me and she was like, she was like, Hey, baby, something something something.

186
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And I came back in there and I remember Stan like he like looked at me dead in the eyes and he goes, We need to talk about that.

187
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,000
I was like, talk about what he goes, you're too young for love.

188
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
He came in his whole talk about how it was too young for love.

189
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
And I didn't know what it meant yet.

190
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
And it's just like, you don't need to be calling nobody, baby.

191
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
The only thing you need to be focused on is your schoolwork and Jesus.

192
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
But here's the thing, man.

193
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000
So I don't know if you remember this and maybe I'm making this up.

194
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Maybe I'm having a Mandela effect, but we would we would always pray on Saturdays before like the food would go out.

195
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Right.

196
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
And so I remember like standing in the circle like the leader of the bridge ministry.

197
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,000
But if you stood next to Stan or Steve, they would just like keep like goofing around during prayer.

198
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Yeah.

199
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Oh, no, they would pester you.

200
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,000
They would like they would like they would like try to squeeze your hand really hard or they would try to get to get you to laugh.

201
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:26,000
And so you never wanted to stand next to either one of those two because they were always trying to make you laugh during prayer.

202
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And then you'd get in trouble.

203
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
You would always get in trouble or they would say comments.

204
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I remember they would say comments like really under their breath and people that know me even now, I cannot say things under my breath.

205
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
My voice is just loud.

206
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
People hear what I say.

207
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:48,000
So I remember there was one time to where after prayer, I don't remember which one of them say they would always say,

208
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:56,000
well, that was a great nap because the guy that would pray the leader of the thing, he would just drone on for a little bit.

209
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
And so they would say, oh, well, that's a great nap.

210
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
And I said that one time, bro, I got in so much trouble.

211
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000
They heard what I said, even the main guy and he was just like, well, if I need to shorten up my prayer, baby, you have something wrong with your spirit.

212
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
I'm just like, oh, it was a it was a whole moment.

213
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000
It was a whole bro, we got a we got a sidetrack one more time.

214
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Did we tell them about the last time about this particular leader and the donut incident?

215
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Like, I mean, it's called it.

216
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

217
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Yeah, this is a we told about that in the smoking pastor episode.

218
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Yeah, we did when we saw it.

219
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,000
Yeah, or episode six.

220
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,000
No, it's episode six of the very first season, the very first season.

221
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
So you can go back and listen to that.

222
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
But yeah, man, pretty, pretty crazy stuff.

223
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Something else I remember, there was another character there.

224
00:13:51,000 --> 00:14:00,000
His name was Eric and Eric, he was from St. Kitts, I believe, in in the Caribbean.

225
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
So he had a really, really thick accent.

226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
I'll be honest with you.

227
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Did you understand him part of the time?

228
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Dude, sometimes I would just have to nod my head and be like, oh, OK, and then I'd have to ask him to repeat himself like a few times, just because his accent was so thick.

229
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Sometimes I didn't understand what like he was saying to me.

230
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
I really I would I would really try.

231
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Then there'd just be a point where like, oh, OK, and then I would go back and ask like Stan.

232
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
What did he say?

233
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
Now, he was a really nice.

234
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000
But Stan could understand.

235
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Yeah, Stan can understand him.

236
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Great.

237
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I have no no clue why, but but you know, they were all good buds.

238
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,000
And Eric's job, we'll talk about this a little bit.

239
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,000
So there was two days where you would have to volunteer.

240
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
It was either Thursday or Saturday and Thursdays.

241
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I like Thursdays.

242
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
We didn't get to do it too often because of course school.

243
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:58,000
But Thursdays, it was like Thursday, like 9am to noon, and it was prep day where you'd cut all the stuff up and like prep for the Saturday to come Saturday.

244
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,000
You would cook it all and we would load it up in the planet dope truck.

245
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
No, I'm joking.

246
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:20,000
There's a big green truck and basically what they did was they took refrigerators and like fitted it to where you can put pretty much the shelves with the pans of food all in there.

247
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And then it locked and then they would drive it down there.

248
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:32,000
So of course Thursdays was always a lot less of a hectic time where you just prepping and stuff like that always had a good time.

249
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Eric was always in charge of the gravy.

250
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
And I don't know what he did to that gravy, but the gravy was always really good.

251
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,000
But I'll tell you this much, he would prepare it on Thursday and Saturday would roll around.

252
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,000
He would take that pot of gravy and you got to think it's a big, you know, big stock pot, right?

253
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,000
The top of it was just white and you would have to almost like chip at it.

254
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
It was a big block of like fat at the top.

255
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
And basically you had to take that whole big white blob of.

256
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Have you ever seen that before when there's just like all the fat accumulated on top of there?

257
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Or do you remember that?

258
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I tell you what, that gravy was good, but there was a lot of fat in that.

259
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
I'm telling you.

260
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
So it was very interesting stuff.

261
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Last thing I'm going to say about it, bro.

262
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Homeless people are picky sometimes.

263
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
You wouldn't think they'd be picking what they eat, but they picky sometimes.

264
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,000
So we got all of our food donated to us.

265
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
And what we got donated a lot of was carrots.

266
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Chris, homeless people didn't like carrots today.

267
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
No, they did not.

268
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
But I have noticed that when it's like, hey, I'm going to buy you a, like, hey, I'll buy you a meal.

269
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
And then they're like, oh yeah, make sure you get this, this and this.

270
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
And I'll be like, oh.

271
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:50,000
It's like that specific, but we full on, you know, because we have all these carrots, what are we going to do with them?

272
00:16:50,000 --> 00:17:02,000
We would literally steam them, mash them up and put brown sugar and like that syrup and then like marshmallows on top and bake it and serve it like it with sweet potatoes.

273
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,000
And they didn't know any, any different and they would eat the sweet potatoes.

274
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
So that was, that was interesting.

275
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,000
We had a lot of carrots.

276
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
So we did a lot of quote unquote sweet potatoes.

277
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:22,000
One of these days we actually need to talk about like actual services being down there at the bridge ministry because that interview itself was, was very different as well.

278
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,000
But you, but you know what's crazy?

279
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Oh, the things that you see.

280
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
So not in like the main kitchen, but in the warehouse where they kept all like the food and all that stuff.

281
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
That was the first time I ever tried tab.

282
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Do you remember tab?

283
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Oh, it was disgusting.

284
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Yeah.

285
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Disgusting.

286
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Because they had like all they had to drink down there was tab and I was like, okay, I guess I'm going to drink this.

287
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Oh, it was disgusting.

288
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
And I don't know how old that was because at this point tab had been in a business for a while.

289
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Had it not?

290
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Like, I mean, it wasn't, I thought tab went out of business in like the early 2000s.

291
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
I was like 2006, 2007.

292
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
So I think it was still around.

293
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Yeah, it was all I know is it was gross and disgusting.

294
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
And yeah.

295
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Interesting times, man.

296
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Well, are you ready to move on to our next segment?

297
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000
That's all. Yeah.

298
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,000
That's all we're going to say about one-eyed stand.

299
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
I guess.

300
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Well, we can come back and talk more about one-eyed stand.

301
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000
What else do you want to say about one-eyed stand?

302
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,000
There's a lot we can talk about with one-eyed stand.

303
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,000
No, we can, we can move on.

304
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,000
We can move on.

305
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Okay.

306
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Cool stuff.

307
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Well, this week we're going to do it a little bit different.

308
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Normally our next segment would be the jelly donut or the jail report.

309
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,000
And the following segment would be the donut hole.

310
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
You know what?

311
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
We ordered a different box this week.

312
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,000
We're doing two donut holes in a row.

313
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
So a little bit different.

314
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
So first things first, man.

315
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:52,000
We got to talk about this football season NFL wise and our picks that we made at the beginning of the season and how true they became.

316
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
You ready to do this?

317
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Oh, yeah.

318
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
My Jacksonville Jaguars pick dark horse.

319
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
I didn't come true.

320
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,000
No, I did not.

321
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
They didn't even make the playoffs, my man.

322
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
But hey, that's okay.

323
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,000
So let's talk about it.

324
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,000
So at the beginning of the season, Chris and I chose,

325
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
if you remember the AFC championship game,

326
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,000
like the two teams that were going to be in it and then the NFC championship game and the Super Bowl and the winners of those.

327
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:24,000
And then we picked a couple of dark horses of teams that did not make the playoffs previous, the previous year.

328
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,000
And we said they would this year and we're going to find out how right we were.

329
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,000
So Chris.

330
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Yeah, I'm ready.

331
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
I don't remember anything I said.

332
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
So I hope you recorded.

333
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Oh, I did.

334
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,000
I did.

335
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Luckily, we have a podcast that we recorded it back to not just listen back.

336
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
So what happened?

337
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
AFC championship wise, you said the chiefs versus Jacksonville.

338
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Okay, I said the chiefs versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

339
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,000
In reality, it was the chiefs versus the Baltimore Ravens.

340
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,000
So we were right on one front there.

341
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,000
Who would have saw that?

342
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Yeah, who would have funk?

343
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
NFC championship game.

344
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:10,000
You said the Niners versus the Minnesota Vikings and the Niners being the San Francisco 49ers versus the Minnesota Vikings.

345
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
And Vikings didn't do so hot, but that's okay.

346
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
You got the Niners, right?

347
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
I was right about the 49ers.

348
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
And then for me, I said Niners versus Eagles.

349
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
That didn't work out, but we got the Niners.

350
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Hey, we picked both of the Super Bowl teams though to be like in the final four.

351
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
So yes, we did.

352
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
That's good.

353
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:33,000
We picked both Super Bowl teams and Chris, you actually picked the chiefs and I picked the Niners.

354
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:40,000
So you actually got it all the way right as far as like the Super Bowl, who was going to the Super Bowl and who won.

355
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
So congrats to you, man, but we picked.

356
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Oh, did I say, did I say who was going to be in the Super Bowl?

357
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Yeah, you said who was going to be in the Super Bowl.

358
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
Like by saying who won those games, basically that said who was going to be in the Super Bowl.

359
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,000
And then you said which team was going to win and you said the chiefs and I said the Niners.

360
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Oh, wow.

361
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Hey, that gets the prophecy, man.

362
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
I should have bought some money.

363
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Yeah, I know, right?

364
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I know, right?

365
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000
So on to the last part of this, man.

366
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,000
So remember, we made these dark horse picks and Chris, you were kind of like, man, I don't really know.

367
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:19,000
But it was about teams that did not make the playoffs the year before and, you know, did this next year.

368
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
So my choices were Denver and Detroit.

369
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Now, Denver, they didn't make the playoffs.

370
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
So it didn't happen.

371
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Detroit, I don't know if you heard man, but Detroit was in the NSC championship.

372
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000
I didn't say who's in the NSC championship, but it was actually the 49ers versus the Detroit Lions.

373
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
So the Lions were one game away from the Super Bowl.

374
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Oh, yeah, I heard they were actually pretty good this year.

375
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,000
NFL scriptwriters, I would have been a lot more entertained if it was Detroit versus the chiefs, actually.

376
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Or if the Browns were in for a little bit, they were in the first round of the playoffs, they would have made it all the way.

377
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Could you imagine a Browns or like Cleveland Browns Detroit Lions Super Bowl?

378
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000
That'd be insane.

379
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
What did I say? I forgot. I said the Jacksonville Jaguars.

380
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
I know that's all I said.

381
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,000
For you, you said the Rams and the Raiders.

382
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,000
You said the Rams and the Raiders were going to get in and neither one of them did.

383
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Oh, neither one.

384
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Okay, I'm not trying to like, I'm not trying to hijack your donut hole or be the conspiracy theorist, man.

385
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:32,000
But please, you just have to, you have to at least think that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey getting together is no accident.

386
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
And the chiefs going to the Super Bowl and winning the Super Bowl is no accident.

387
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:45,000
Chris, I was about to go on a whole improv what fries my donuts on this because that was the next part of this.

388
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
You know, this season was incredibly boring.

389
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,000
I'll tell you that much.

390
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000
You know why the moment they started dating, we knew we knew who did was going to go to the Super Bowl.

391
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,000
We know as long as the Swifties held on, they were going to go to the Super Bowl, right?

392
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,000
If it ever started losing the NFL money, they would have broke up.

393
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
There's a lot of money at play, man.

394
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000
And my thing is, you thank them getting together in the season and all this other stuff.

395
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,000
It happened to coincide when she's on her biggest tour, like biggest comeback tour.

396
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Yeah, right.

397
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Come on.

398
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
But here, here's the thing too.

399
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
I heard that she just recently did a whole clothing line for the chiefs.

400
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
That's like a Taylor Swift chiefs collaboration.

401
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:32,000
So if they're all like Jessica Simpson never did that for the Cowboys.

402
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000
So like if they because they're just dating, they're not married.

403
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
So like what happens if they break up?

404
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Like it just doesn't make sense to me that it's not scripted.

405
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,000
It's incredibly.

406
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
And there's a lot of, come on.

407
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,000
In my opinion, they're being paid off.

408
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Like that's what it looks like to me.

409
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:57,000
It looks like they've been paid large sums of money to, you know, pretty much date publicly.

410
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Because I mean, there's a lot of money in it.

411
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Again, the NFL has made so much money off of chiefs stuff this year.

412
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
It's not even funny.

413
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:11,000
And now that they've won the Super Bowl, oh my God, like they're making all sorts of money.

414
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
But let me, let me just be an advocate.

415
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:21,000
I'll be an advocate just to play both sides just to, just so we can put ourselves in the other people's shoes.

416
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
So what, what about the people like, oh, you're just jealous.

417
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
You're just being a hater.

418
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,000
She's just being supportive and you are, you're sending out the message to young girls.

419
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
Listen, here's, here's the problem that I have with this.

420
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Here's the problem that I have with this.

421
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
It's not her.

422
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
It's not whatever.

423
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000
It's the fact that it's oversensitized.

424
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Like this has been something that has been drug out and drug on for this whole, this whole entire season.

425
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Never before have we seen, like I've seen stats this year of the chiefs are eight and three when Taylor Swift's at the game.

426
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
That doesn't matter.

427
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Like those things don't matter.

428
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:06,000
And they should because they're not doing that for like some own vials who, who like, I think she's no who is also married to a player.

429
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
She's married to a player.

430
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
Like yes, they will show her on the sideline every now and then.

431
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,000
And you know, here's another thing.

432
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,000
I don't care if you, if you have money, if you have a partnership with NFL, I don't care.

433
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,000
But where it becomes a problem is when Taylor shove down your throat.

434
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,000
That's the problem that I have is you can't watch a football game without her being shown in a box every two seconds.

435
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
We don't do that for anybody else.

436
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Yeah.

437
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000
But most, most sports, like they just do a quick like, Hey, like, Will Ferrell's here at the game.

438
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Or, Hey, Denzel's here.

439
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
And it's multiple and it's multiple celebrities.

440
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Like it'll be like, here's who's at the game.

441
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:50,000
You know, Will Ferrell, LeBron James, they'll go through like multiple people and say like, okay, and they'll do like their little quick wave, right?

442
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
And they'll have their little thing.

443
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:58,000
But what happens is it's the broadcast is like the football game and Taylor, like it's, it's a mix of both.

444
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
That's what the broadcast has become.

445
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
And that's just not.

446
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,000
Yeah.

447
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:09,000
It's almost detracting from the actual sport and it's like she is part of the entertainment piece.

448
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:17,000
So like, if you are, if you're going to do that, like, I'm, I'm cool, but please don't try to make me believe that this is all real.

449
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Like just, just tell me that it's fake.

450
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Tell me that it's scripted and then I can believe it.

451
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
I, I watch, I watch wrestling.

452
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Like I can believe it.

453
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
And I'm a little bit on the opposite front.

454
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Ignorance is bliss, man.

455
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Like my thing is, is it scripted?

456
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Absolutely.

457
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,000
But this is way too obvious.

458
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Don't make it obvious.

459
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Make me, you know what, make it seem as fake as possible.

460
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Right.

461
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Like, or not as fake as possible as real as possible for me.

462
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Don't let me know that it's fake.

463
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Like obviously I know that it's fake.

464
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,000
And you know what the proof is.

465
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000
I was, you know, listening to this, the episode back, right.

466
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000
And, you know, it's amazing that we chose exactly who was going to be in the Super Bowl.

467
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Like we chose exactly who it was going to be.

468
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Why?

469
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Because it was that predictable.

470
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,000
Like you're not even a hardcore watcher of what is going on.

471
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And you know who, and you knew who was going to be in the Super Bowl is going to win it.

472
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
That's, that's how predictable we've gotten.

473
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And for those out there that's like, oh no, the NFL is not rigged.

474
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Listen, it's classified under entertainment as and not a sport.

475
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,000
So, and guess what else is just, just like WWE, it's entertainment, man.

476
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
There's too much NFL has already said there's too much money out there.

477
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
They're not to control some of the variables.

478
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000
It's all controlled, man.

479
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,000
It's all controlled.

480
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
They, they know who they want to win.

481
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,000
And the moment that Taylor Swift entered into it, that's the part that we didn't predict about this season.

482
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Chris, we predicted the Super Bowl, but we didn't predict that Taylor Swift was going to be so far involved.

483
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
That's what we didn't.

484
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Oh yeah, we didn't know that we, you would watch more of Taylor Swift than you would the, the, the, and you know, a lot of, a lot of people are actually mad at Taylor Swift.

485
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Personally, I'm not mad at Taylor Swift because I'm sure there's a big check at this.

486
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000
And if she's actually in a good relationship with homie, that's fine too.

487
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:07,000
My main problem is it's the media that I'm having issues with that are pumping this thing out.

488
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000
So, dad go much.

489
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:16,000
It's one thing to, you know, again, like we talked about with whole Jessica Simpson thing, paying to her like, guess who's at the game.

490
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Oh, look, it's Taylor Swift for Travis Kelsey once, once.

491
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:36,000
And then when you're watching ESPN later, it's not like, oh, the chiefs are eight and three when Taylor's been at the game or oh, here's these top 10 highlights with and how they correlate to Taylor Swift songs like this highlight would be this song of Taylor Swift.

492
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,000
It's like, bro, we're relating football plays to Taylor Swift songs.

493
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,000
What the heck is going on at the end of the day and then we can get off this at the end of the day.

494
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:54,000
It's lazy journalism because that stuff is just right there in their lab and it's easy for them to do rather than to go and hunt for a good sports story.

495
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
So I think that's part of what it is to.

496
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Yeah, I think that's what it is to.

497
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:05,000
But there, you know, I, there's a lot of lazy journalism that's been going on for a long time, but we can get off of that.

498
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:12,000
But Jim, and you know, we can actually do, since we took up a good bit of that, man.

499
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
How would you like to jump right into what fries my donuts?

500
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
I'm already on a already on a grind right now.

501
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
So sure.

502
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

503
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000
We're already a little fired up.

504
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
We already got the, you know, the burners going.

505
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
We might as well just jump right into what fries my donuts.

506
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
So Chris, what's up, man?

507
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
What fries?

508
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:37,000
This is not my topic, but I'm going to make this one brief statement and then I'll get into what really fries my donuts.

509
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:43,000
But so I don't like people that are just like, Oh yeah, I'm just going to start a podcast all willy-nilly.

510
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
And I'm going to be successful at it.

511
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Yeah, it's easy.

512
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
All you got to do is just put on a microphone and record.

513
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
And it's like, no, my man, it's not that easy.

514
00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:03,000
But that's what really fries my donuts is when and this is primarily like in a job setting when

515
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:18,000
how can I say this when leadership wants to say we when they really mean you, you know what I mean when they're like, Oh yeah, we're going to do this and we're going to execute this and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

516
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
But what they really mean is you're going to do all this extra work and you're going to execute this.

517
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Yeah, we need to be willing to stay late and come in early and stay late and do all this and sacrifice our families.

518
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
But when it comes to the work, where are these people at?

519
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000
They really mean you.

520
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
So I don't.

521
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And when they're all like, yeah, we're a family, we need to be building community.

522
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Yes, that's true, especially in the job that I work in.

523
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:53,000
But in other places, I'm like, yeah, bro, whenever they say we're a family at the job, that's always the number one red flag.

524
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000
That was the red flag that they're going to try to use an abuse and make you do too much.

525
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:13,000
It's kind of like that intro we did that one time talking about how bosses and people react when you take time off at those toxic environments towards, you know, or it's really passive aggressive, or you get those real passive aggressive comments

526
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:20,000
to, and it's just like, well, Chris decided to go to Cancun for three days while we're in the middle of doing our inventory.

527
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:30,000
But I plan this trip six months ago, it's like, well, it's good to see that your trip and your family is more important than your work family.

528
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Who will have to pick up your slack while you're gone.

529
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Oh, okay.

530
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Yeah, and it's like, it's like, no, like my family is my family.

531
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Like, at the end of the day, man, no job is worth sacrificing your family point blank period.

532
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,000
I don't care what, because I mean, here's the thing, man, like, you're, you're at the end of the day, like your family is all you got.

533
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Like jobs come and go and all that good stuff.

534
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
And you want to do a good job, right?

535
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
Like you want to put your best foot forward.

536
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:09,000
But at the same time, man, like your family comes first, or it's like, it's like, hey, we're going to do this and we're going to, and we talked about this before when they want to take credit for a job well done.

537
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
And like, yeah, we really did great.

538
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
It's like, you weren't here to do any of the work.

539
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,000
But then when you're messing up, it's like, yeah, we really messed up.

540
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
You guys really messed up.

541
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
But then it's like, that's not good.

542
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000
It's only, it's only when it's good for them.

543
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000
And, you know, this is a different tangent a little bit too.

544
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:36,000
But something else that fries my donuts is, are those people that have just like, I haven't taken day off 47 years, or, you know, I have it.

545
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,000
It's like, you know, they're sitting over here or the boss is just like, listen, I haven't had a Christmas with my family.

546
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000
I haven't had this in 17 years.

547
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,000
It's just like, that's on you, man.

548
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Like, I don't understand why that's a badge of honor.

549
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:57,000
You really want to miss that many Christmases and Thanksgiving's like in, you know, a lot of the times, even if you get down to it, those people, it's a badge of honor.

550
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,000
It's a number of like, yeah, I work so hard that but Chris is right.

551
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,000
And family is all you've got.

552
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:11,000
And so next thing that happens is what happens when that job's gone and your family's gone to like, they want it.

553
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000
What aggravates me is just like, that's not a badge of honor.

554
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:23,000
That's not a good thing, you know, that's not, but they'll act like that's like the best thing ever like, oh man, look what I've done.

555
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:42,000
And I saw a report that said like, a lot of the older or like bosses, which is like mostly boomers and Gen X that are like in the boss big management position.

556
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
And I saw someone said, it's like, we're not lazy.

557
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,000
We're just not going to work, do more work than what we're paid for.

558
00:33:49,000 --> 00:34:00,000
We're having standards and we're not going to like, like kill ourselves at this job and sell our souls and sacrifice everything just to get paid like crappy.

559
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,000
And they were saying, they were saying like, yeah, these younger generations get so offended.

560
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:12,000
And he was saying like, he was like, he was like, no, he was like, actually the older generations are more offended.

561
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,000
He was like, you want to see offended.

562
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,000
He's like, go in there and ask your boss for a raise or talk about pay.

563
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:22,000
I don't know how quickly offended they get. And I was like, you know what, like he's got some points, man.

564
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Yeah. Well, and the other thing too, and it goes back to the original point is just bosses in general and jobs like that.

565
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:38,000
What the whole entire point and what a lot of these people from the older generations think because this is what they saw is I get to a certain position.

566
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
I get to delegate everything off to other people.

567
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,000
And those are going to be the younger people, right?

568
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:54,000
The people that we just got. And so what ends up happening, they're expected to have the old school treatment of like, okay, the bottom tiers are going to pick up all the load.

569
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And the further up I go, the less work is going to happen.

570
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
And that's not the way that it works anymore either.

571
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:09,000
All I'm saying is if you're like in leadership and you are, you are saying, hey, like, we're going to, we're going to do this and we're going to be ready to put in all these hours and do all this hard work.

572
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Now, now I get it. There are some seasons where it's just like, hey, you know, it's going to be a tough season and you're going to have to grind through.

573
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,000
But if you're trying to push that 24 seven, 365, you better be in the trenches with your team.

574
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
With your folks.

575
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Yeah.

576
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:30,000
And working even, working even harder than you're asking your team to work hard at because that's, I mean, that's what a true leader is, man.

577
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Or do your job to advocate for them to get them what they need to work more efficiently as well.

578
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Like show them that you care enough to be alongside them and also to advocate for them.

579
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Advocation is big as well. Like working alongside them is great.

580
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
But if they have an advocate, it's even, it's even better too.

581
00:35:49,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Yep. Yep. And as like, again, as a leader, like your team will only follow you as, as far as you're willing to go and, you know, again, like if you, if you do things and you help them and you are making their jobs easier, then, you know, they'll receive.

582
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:16,000
You know, they'll respect you. So ultimately as a leader, your job is to make your team's job easier, whether that's giving them resources, finding ways, what have you.

583
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
So again, that's all I got to say about that.

584
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Yeah, okay, man. Well, we can move on to our next segment, which is the Mystery Dome.

585
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Or on this topic, Chris, we got a game this week.

586
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Oh, I love games. You know, as a kids pastor, I love games.

587
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Yeah, heck yeah.

588
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,000
So the game that we're going to play this week is the ABC game.

589
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So basically what's going to happen is we're going to tell a story, and it is all the way through the alphabet.

590
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:48,000
So Chris will have to start with a or I'll have to start with a and we'll go BC and we'll just keep on going from there.

591
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,000
So Chris, do you want to start it? You want me to start it?

592
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000
We got to pick a subject.

593
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
What's our, what's. Yeah, I was like, what's our subject?

594
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000
You can just start with random stuff. I don't know.

595
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,000
You have one on top of your head.

596
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,000
I'm going to think of one. Um, at a, at a wedding. Okay.

597
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Alright, let's do it.

598
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,000
A week ago, I was told about this wedding, but seriously, just a week ago.

599
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Can you not tell because I don't have my tuxi. Definitely not.

600
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:24,000
I can't tell easily. They could have sent the invitations out about two months ago for sure.

601
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
But I think they did it a lot later than they needed to.

602
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Great. Here comes the bridesmaid. You know how, you know how she is.

603
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Absolutely hate them.

604
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000
What is it? Do you start with I or just start with that?

605
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I started with H because I said, ha, does ha not count as a word? I can do something else.

606
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
I can't believe that she thought it was a good idea to be wearing white too.

607
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000
She trying to upstage the bride.

608
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:56,000
Just look at this one over here with the shirt that with the, with the Dixie chick shirt over here.

609
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Is that appropriate for a wedding?

610
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Kill me now. Jessica is trying to come over here and talk to me. You know how bad her breast is.

611
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Let me go to the bathroom. I ain't trying to deal with all this.

612
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,000
May I, may I grab you a piece of cake?

613
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
No, no, no. You know I'm trying to stay on a diet.

614
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,000
Oh boy. A diet? The diet's no good for anybody.

615
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Purposefully telling me that is not going to make me stop.

616
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Quit thinking about your diet for a second, man. We're at a wedding.

617
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Ridiculous. Ridiculous, ridiculous. I'm going to do this diet and you're not going to tell me anything.

618
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Set aside the diet just for one day. It won't kill you.

619
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Temptation, temptation, Christopher. Why are you always trying to tempt me? You're supposed to be the good one here. The clergyman.

620
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Unless you want to go through the rest of your life being a boring guy. Just live a little bit.

621
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Christopher, I am sticking to this diet. So don't pester me.

622
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:59,000
What's with using the King James speech? X-ray on my arm because I think I just broke it.

623
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:08,000
You could use that as an excuse to get out of this horrible way. Soics. You're right. I shall do that for myself. Let's get out of here.

624
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Alright, that was our ABC game. I apparently don't know my alphabet. I'm going to have to pull a mic and pull it up on the phone.

625
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,000
It's hard because you're like, when you're doing that way, I'm like, what?

626
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,000
I'll be honest with you. I do have it pulled up in front of me right now.

627
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Yeah, I knew you had it pulled up. I knew you had it pulled up.

628
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:36,000
Listen, man, I have to sing the whole song. Like, it's weird. I know the song and I have to sing the whole song. Anyways, it's a thing.

629
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:44,000
I know we say this every time we play it, but whenever they ask you to, like, whatever they're trying to do, like, see if you've been drinking or not,

630
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:51,000
when they try to tell you to recite the alphabet backwards, I'm like, even sober people can't do that. Like, that's kind of a bad test.

631
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
That was something too. And I think I said this the last time too. They'll do that with concussion tests too.

632
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Like, I remember they gave me a concussion test to, like, count backwards from 100 by 7 and I was like 93.

633
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:08,000
And then I like had to think about it. Like, I swear I don't have a concussion. I'm just having to do the math in my head right quick.

634
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
That's just not something that I normally do.

635
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:22,000
Remember whenever you, we were in that accident and whenever the ambulance came, they asked you, like, the concussion, like, tell me your name.

636
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,000
And they were like, they were like, who's the president of the United States? And like, you told them it was Joe Biden.

637
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:33,000
And like, in my head, I was like, oh yeah, Donald Trump. And I was like, oh wait, it is Joe Biden. I was like, I would have failed.

638
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
It's like, maybe we should check you out for a concussion, man.

639
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:44,000
To be fair, Joe Biden had just recently become president and it's been six months or so. So who be fair?

640
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,000
Not even, not even. It's a little less than that.

641
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Anyways, but yeah, man. So pretty crazy stuff. Got to love that game.

642
00:40:52,000 --> 00:41:01,000
But yeah, man, we can move into our next segment, which is our E.Claire segment, which is our positive advice to impart to you for this week.

643
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:11,000
And I'll go first since you went first last week, Chris. It's okay to take a shift down at a lower energy and a lower pace if you don't have the energy.

644
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:19,000
So often we get really caught up in this kind of monotony of, hey, I need to do these tasks.

645
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:26,000
And what I mean by that is laundry dishes, those things that happen frequently and reoccurring.

646
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:33,000
Or even the big project at work or even the monthly report that you normally can get done with in a day.

647
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Okay, if you get up and you don't have the energy, do what you have the energy to do.

648
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:43,000
You don't have to just because you normally get something done in one sitting.

649
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Why can't you get 75% of that done and get up and take a break this time, right?

650
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Or take some time for yourself or say, you know what?

651
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:01,000
I'm going to take the time now and I'm going to do this thing that normally takes me an hour, two hours, a different time.

652
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,000
Rerange your schedule. It's okay to be flexible.

653
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
But so often we get it to where it's like, no, I normally do it here.

654
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:13,000
I'm almost getting to a routine of, no, I normally do things this time or no, I always do this in one sitting.

655
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,000
It doesn't necessarily have to be that way. Life is dynamic.

656
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,000
You can pick how, pick and choose where you want to go. We don't have to be in such a regimented mode.

657
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
For sure, man. For sure. Mine is a little bit different.

658
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,000
It's about the power of asking questions, right?

659
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,000
And so asking questions are always a good thing. It helps us get to know people.

660
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:39,000
A lot of times whenever we're in conversations, you know, we tend to make the conversation a lot about us.

661
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:46,000
But I found that if you ask a lot of good questions, it helps you get to know people better and then asking like follow up questions.

662
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Especially if someone's like, I don't know. Those can always help too.

663
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:58,000
And I've found that like asking questions can be a little like a part of like disarming like a tough situation.

664
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Especially if you're having to deal with a difficult situation and you can just be like, hey, like, so what happened the other day?

665
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Like, can you tell me your side and like what you were thinking or why did you do it this way?

666
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:18,000
And I found that asking questions, a lot of times takes, takes like the miscommunication out of things and caught.

667
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
Takes the assumption. Yeah, it takes the assumption out of things too.

668
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:29,000
And so asking good questions is always great. And, you know, I do this a lot with like ministry coaching.

669
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:37,000
And so usually when I like when I'm doing ministry coaching, like I will get the person to tell me like what they kind of want to get out of it.

670
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:44,000
But I just do that by asking questions. And so like when you ask questions, you kind of help them come to the answer like on their own.

671
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:52,000
And so it's just about the power of knowing which questions to ask. And so a lot of times they like come to the realization of something on their own,

672
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:59,000
but it just took you asking them those questions to come to that point. So asking questions, can you be a very powerful thing?

673
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:04,000
And once you learn how to ask the right questions, it will help you in every area.

674
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:09,000
Well, it's been a fantastic episode. But unfortunately, it looks like we don't have any more donuts in the box.

675
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:19,000
So we'll wrap it up here, man. We've got some excited things going on on our socials on YouTube.

676
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:30,000
You know, got some plain shorts. If you're into that, got some other plain videos on our YouTube, come find us over there and trash can network over at trash can network.

677
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,000
That's also on Facebook and Instagram. Same thing. And go find us over there.

678
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:42,000
We'll be posting some more and having some good things there. We also got some more very fun, interesting things to come.

679
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Like more full flight videos, things like that. So all had to come.

680
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:54,000
What I have learned is that there is a whole community that loves planes just as much as Micah.

681
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:59,000
I thought Micah was like a handful of people that love planes that much.

682
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:05,000
But apparently there is a whole community that like want to watch these videos and, you know, I'm all for it.

683
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,000
I just didn't know that community was was so big.

684
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Yeah. And heck, yeah. And if any of that community is out there, shout out to my geeks. I see you.

685
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:19,000
All right, guys. Well, you're weird. I don't understand it.

686
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:25,000
But you know what? I I'm not gonna, you know, different strokes for different folks is all I got to say.

687
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Yeah, heck, yeah. I'm ready to take this box out to the trash. How about you?

688
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Let's do it, brother. Chris. And this is the clock clock.

689
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Yeah.
