231 00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:49,960 I wouldn't say obsessed with. 232 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,840 I, you know, I do love the WWE and I do love wrestling and wrestling knowledge, 233 00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:02,200 man, but it's, maybe it's not a obsession more than a fascination with cults. 234 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,320 I have like a huge fascination with cults. 235 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:13,560 Like I would just wonder how they like get started and how they shift really quickly 236 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:19,560 because most of the time cults follow like a typical pattern where they start out with this 237 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:23,160 group of people and what they're believing is pretty much true. 238 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,200 And then there's something that just like switches and then all of a sudden it turns into a cult. 239 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,080 And then of course with cults comes like financial scandal, you know, sex scandals, 240 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,280 all that stuff. 241 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:41,240 And so I'm just always curious like how did this cult become, go from being a group to being a cult? 242 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,280 So that's something I think I'm fascinated with. 243 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:50,280 I'll tell mine in just a second, but springing off of yours, what's interesting about the cult bit 244 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,720 is if you study gangs, gangs are a lot the same way. 245 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,240 Most of your major gangs, bloods, crips, they all started because they were just trying to 246 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,880 protect their neighborhood from a lot of racism and violence that was happening. 247 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,560 And so a lot of it was started, I wouldn't necessarily say for a good cause, but it was 248 00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:08,280 to protect each other and things like that, right? 249 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,480 And then it became turf wars, selling drugs. 250 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,320 You got to make money somehow, right? 251 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,520 And especially if you're doing it, it just, it's weird how it starts off with good intentions 252 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,480 and then the road just becomes very skewed down the line. 253 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:27,880 And I wouldn't say that the way we grew up, we didn't grow up in a cult, but the way we grew up 254 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,680 had maybe some cultish tendencies. 255 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:38,280 And so I always want to make sure I never like fall back into that way of thinking again. 256 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,920 So anyway, sorry, what is your obsession? 257 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,720 I think part of what's fascinating, I'm doing one more thing here. 258 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,720 I think part of what's fascinating and you talk about, you know, our past and things like that, 259 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,600 I think it's because it's somewhat relatable in a lot of these instances about how some of 260 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,520 these people can get sucked into some of these things. 261 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:01,000 Some of my obsession going off of that, one of the things I'm obsessed about, 262 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:09,880 similar but different dictators, dictators very, very much fascinate me about the Kim family in 263 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,400 North Korea, especially. 264 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,360 It's very interesting, you know, and the question that I have, especially being 265 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,960 in somewhat of an environment to where you can relate to something like that, 266 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:30,120 are those people really brainwashed to the point where they think these things or are they just 267 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,200 so oppressed that they're forced to feel these things? 268 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,120 They have to say that or they end up in camps. 269 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,560 Where's the line? 270 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:39,800 Right? Because for me, I know some people have, I'm sure it's a mix, right? 271 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,200 I'm sure some people are 100% sold on the ideas and I'm sure some people see right through it, 272 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,560 but don't have a choice. 273 00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:50,680 It's just kind of that weird line for me that's like, okay, are you brainwashed or are you just 274 00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:51,880 having to go through the motions? 275 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:58,760 And I don't know why that fascinates me in that bit, but kind of to a similar note, 276 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,520 who is the most fascinating dictator for you? 277 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,360 Again, the Kim family, all three of them. 278 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:10,040 The dad, Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, and then now Kim Jong-un. 279 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:17,000 Even Kim Jong-il or Kim Jong-un's sister, who's pretty much running the show. 280 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,920 A lot of people don't know that. 281 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,400 A lot of people think Kim Jong-un's doing the, he's the front because they don't want to have a 282 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,000 woman running things and that's not a good look for them in their mind. 283 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,160 But the sister is ruthless, man. 284 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,720 If you ever look her up, she's pretty ruthless. 285 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:42,200 Anyways, I think what's interesting to me about them to go into that is they tell their people 286 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,160 one thing, but then they're doing something completely opposite and it's right there in 287 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,720 their face, but then somehow they're still worshiped. 288 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,000 I'm not saying that that's what I want or I would want to know how to do, 289 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,720 but that just fascinates the mess out of me because we see that in other facets of life. 290 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,880 Heck, we're even looking at it in this election and we're going into some touchy stuff, 291 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,920 but my thing is like Donald Trump, the dude just got convicted, right? 292 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,080 And yet people love him. 293 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,280 People are almost borderline worshiping this man and you're sitting here and he can do all this 294 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,200 bad stuff right in people's face and they're like, oh, no, he had to do that. 295 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,840 And it's like, it just is mind blowing to me. 296 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:26,440 And so the Kims are the same way, you know, they, for a long period they had prohibition, 297 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,320 right? You couldn't drink any alcohol, but at the same time, the Kim family was one of the biggest 298 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,800 importers of cognac in the world, right? So it's like, it's interesting. 299 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,480 They won't allow Western movies. 300 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,320 They won't allow Western media. 301 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:48,360 Kim Jong-il had one of the largest DVD collections and movie collections of anybody on the planet. 302 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,440 And you know what one of the movies he had was? 303 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,000 It was Team America where he was represented. 304 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,880 That's the question. 305 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,320 If I could ask him anything without getting killed, and of course he's dead, 306 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,800 but it's like watching that movie where you saw little Kim, the little puppet, what did you think 307 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:07,640 of the representation of yourself? You had to like it. You kept the movie. So, you know, I mean, 308 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,960 it's just, it's, it's just weird to me and it's fascinating. I don't know how to describe it. 309 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,240 For sure. For sure. All right. Next question. 310 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,400 What is a common misconception that people have about you? 311 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:25,960 This is a very simple one. Music genres. People get so shocked when I know rap music primarily, 312 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,000 or like hip-hop music. I don't know. People never expect that out of me. I don't know why. 313 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,560 I guess it's because I'm pasty white. I have no clue. But talk about hip-hop music. 314 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,240 Talk about some of the other stuff. I'm trying to think. Another common misconception is, 315 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,600 and this is a hard one. It goes a lot, it's pretty deep, is a lot of people take my kindness for 316 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,480 weakness if that counts in this. So many people think, oh man, he's nice. So he's a pushover. 317 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,880 And that's a misconception. I mean, probably in the past, and there's probably some things that 318 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,400 I'm probably too lenient on still, but come a long way in standing up for myself. And so 319 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,480 I think that's still the common misconception is, oh man, I can get one over on this guy. 320 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,720 You can try it. We'll see. I don't know. I'm sure you've had to combat that a little bit too. 321 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:18,520 Oh yeah. A lot of people think that because I'm quiet, they underestimate me and like what I could 322 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:25,160 do. And so like, especially in my field of work, like whenever I get on a stage and like teach 323 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:30,440 or preach people, like I had no idea that came out of you. Like you're so quiet and this and that. 324 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,880 And I'm like, yeah, like a lot of people underestimate me. And I've been, I've been kind 325 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:42,200 of like underestimated my whole life. So I'm used to it. But yeah, I think a lot of people just 326 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:50,280 underestimate what I can do. I think also a lot of people are surprised when I'm as funny as I am. 327 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,000 They're like, you're really funny. We had no idea. And I'm like, uh, yeah, like it just takes me a 328 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,600 while to warm up to people, you know? Yeah, especially to a group. Yeah, for sure. And I 329 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:06,040 understand that. I mean, I've been shut down enough to the point where it's like, yeah, 330 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,680 you only want to make jokes in front of people you know, we're going to take it well. 331 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,720 Chad GBT came up with some from the last time too. I think we asked that one too, 332 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,880 but I'll ask this one again if we've asked this one. What is a skill or hobby that you've 333 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,360 always wanted to try but haven't skill or a hobby that I've always wanted to try? 334 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,680 Like I've said, I've wanted to do parasailing. I know skydiving was one too, right? 335 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:39,320 Skydiving. I've wanted to do skydiving. Man, honestly, a hobby, I really want to get into like 336 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,720 ATV like four wheelers. Like I feel like that would be pretty fun. 337 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:49,800 Yeah, it's fun stuff. It's fun stuff. Yeah, I don't blame you there. I've done ATV so I can't 338 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:58,520 say like I'd like to get back into it, but this is never done. I think my obvious choices were 339 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,680 I've flown a plane. I think I'd want to fly a float plane. I've always wanted to do that 340 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,520 where you can land on land or water. You know, I've always thought the idea of being able to 341 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,720 land on water and go fishing for the day sounded really good. It's a very expensive day to go fishing, 342 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:21,800 but hey. And then I think for me, I like the idea of skydiving. It's just hard for me to get into 343 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:30,120 it, man. It's hard for me to work my way up to it. But I don't know. I think for me, this is not 344 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:34,440 necessarily a hobby that we haven't done, but more specifically, I still want to ride King 345 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:41,160 Dekal, the big roller coaster in New Jersey. What is one skill that you think everyone should learn 346 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:48,440 and why? I think everyone should learn empathy and how to... I know that's kind of... 347 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Would you consider that skill? I think it's a skill. If you can feel where somebody else is, 348 00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:01,160 do you think so? Because to me, I feel like it's... If you have good empathy or have empathetic skills, 349 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:08,520 then you can read rooms. You can read people a little bit better and you can react to them 350 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,240 and understand where they are. Because I feel like the biggest disconnect is we're not understanding 351 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:20,920 where the other person's at. I think some people just lack the ability to even learn that though. 352 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:27,240 You know what I mean? Oh, for sure. Everybody can learn how to make a groovy sandwich. But 353 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,560 learning empathy, I think that's one that not everybody can learn. I guess that's true. And 354 00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:39,720 what's hard is for me, that doesn't make sense in my mind, right? Because I feel empathy and things 355 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,160 like that. And it's like, no, sure, everybody can feel it. But no, for real, I do think that some 356 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:51,640 people can't learn empathy or are incapable of that. So you're right there. Let me see this. 357 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,760 I think that I'm going to go really basic. Change a tire. So many people don't know how to change 358 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,160 a freaking tire on the side of the road. You know what? I think everybody needs to learn how to do 359 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:06,680 that if you're going to drive. That's what I was going to say too. Everyone needs to learn how to 360 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,640 change a tire, man. It doesn't matter if you're a guy or a girl, you need to learn how to do that. 361 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:19,080 Because that comes in handy for sure. For sure. I also say everyone, and this is kind of outdated 362 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:24,920 now, but I feel like everyone should learn how to tie a tie. Your boy, girl, everyone should learn 363 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:30,120 how to tie a tie. Yeah, especially because you'll be at your best friend's wedding as his best man 364 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:34,840 and saying, hey, can you tie my tie at the last second? True story. For sure. For sure. Still 365 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,440 need to learn how to tie a tie better and quicker time. Anyways, I just never have to do it, man. 366 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:47,160 You know, it's like I never put on a tie, so I don't have to. Anyways, let's see. What's the next 367 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:53,080 question here? Again, I'm having to scroll past some of these because it's like, we already asked 368 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,560 that. Okay, if you could instantly become an expert in any subject, what would it be? 369 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:09,240 Ooh, an expert in any subject? Man, I don't know. I'm like, man, like, I'm not an expert in 370 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:16,840 WWE or wrestling knowledge, but okay, I'll tell you what it is. I wish I could become an expert 371 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:22,120 in being a mechanic and fixing cars. I feel like that would save me a lot of money, like, just to 372 00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:27,480 be able to know, like, just to diagnose a problem with a car, like, instantly and be able to fix 373 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:33,080 it. Hearing based off of a tick. Yeah, it's like, oh, I hear, you know, to the point where it's like, 374 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,920 oh, there's a ticking noise and you know exactly what that ticking noise is without even doing 375 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:43,320 anything. What about you? Exactly. Mine is very, very simple and very, very predictable. I don't 376 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,440 want to know everything about aviation, just mainly, you know, a lot of how things work and how to fly 377 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,440 everything. That'd be great. But you know a lot about it. You're pretty much an expert. I would 378 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:58,040 consider you an expert in the field. Okay, I'll say expert in civil aviation, because people 379 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,640 always be like military and I'm like, man, I don't know nothing about them. I know some about the 380 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,920 military, but not nearly as much as commercial. So some areas maybe, but not across the board, 381 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,680 I think. And then of course, but see, when I'm talking about like expert of everything, maybe 382 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,400 I'm going too in depth, but I'm like, yeah, I want to know the inner workings. I want to know how the 383 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:24,040 bushings work on these engines, you know, or like, I don't know, just knowing everything about everything 384 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,600 with it. I think people would consider you an expert in the world of aviation. I would say by 385 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:35,160 today's standards, like I would consider you, you know, a lot more than average bear, I guess I 386 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,960 should say. I mean, I guess that that is true. And hey, we've got our avnerd buddies out there. And 387 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,200 if you're halfway through this episode and want to see more, you know, there's the Aviation Society 388 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:50,920 out there on Instagram. Anyways, all right. So the next question, did I ask the last question? I did. 389 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:56,280 I got the question. What is the best trip that you've ever been on? And why was it so special? 390 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:03,720 Like, what made it special for you? Oh, man, a best trip as hard at all of them. I think it was the 391 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:11,240 summer of 2016. I went to Florida with my grandparents. And we went to the Blue Angel Camp 392 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:17,080 Ground in Pensacola, Florida, and did all the fun old people things and campers. I don't know, man, 393 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:22,280 that's always a fun summer vacation. What stuck out to me was when we've talked about in the podcast, 394 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,560 you know, I don't have the best relationship with my parents, but that summer really, 395 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,400 being out in Florida and things kind of made me start thinking about the relationship I wanted 396 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:37,560 to have or not have with them. And so I think really a lot of that kind of turned the tide. And so 397 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:43,560 that summer kind of helped move that process along, if that makes sense. So I'm fond of that. And then 398 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,920 that was the last vacation I got to spend with my grandfather before he passed away. So it's kind of 399 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:55,080 like multifaceted there. How about yourself? I would say two. And they both involve universal 400 00:22:55,080 --> 00:23:03,160 studios. So my honeymoon this past, not this past year, the year before, that was a great trip just 401 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:09,880 because I like, yes, it was my honeymoon, but we just had fun. I really got to enjoy universal 402 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:16,440 studios. It was fun. And then the first time I went to universal studios, that was like the last 403 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:24,200 big family vacation that we had as a family with my mom and my dad and my brother. And I just remember 404 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,800 like, everyone had so much fun and we spent so much time together. And like, normally people would 405 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,960 be fighting, but like nobody fought. And we still talk about that vacation to this day, just because 406 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:43,720 it was such a fun vacation. It was the last big one that we all took together, which was in 2011, 407 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:51,000 I think, or 2010. That's awesome. Yeah, I've still, yeah, to be in the universal, I still want to go. 408 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,800 All right, let's see what the next one is. This one's a good one. What is a piece of technology 409 00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,360 in this world that you could, that we could live without or you think we should get rid of? Is there 410 00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:06,440 a piece of technology that's like, to ask that one? Okay. I think you asked that one. Oh yeah, 411 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:12,520 because I said printers. And you know, the first thing on my mind was printers. We use too much 412 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:17,560 paper in this world anyways. Okay. Ooh, I already know the answer to this one, but I want to hear 413 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,880 your answer. So we're going to ask it. Do you think humanity is headed in the right direction 414 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,680 overall right now? Do I think humanity is headed in the right direction? Yeah, overall right now. 415 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,160 I already know the answer. Oh, how much time you got, brother? How much time you got? I'll tell 416 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:39,480 you no. You know why? Because people nowadays, man, people are selfish. People are selfish, selfish, 417 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:45,800 selfish. They only care about them. They don't have grace for other people. Cancel cultures, 418 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:54,840 a big thing. Everyone talks about my truth, this, my truth, that. Truth is relative. I feel like 419 00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:00,440 there's really not any morals anymore. Like yeah, there's like morals on big stuff. Like of course, 420 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:05,400 you know, don't be a pedophile and don't murder people. But like other than that, there's no 421 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:11,800 morals. People are just doing whatever they want without any consequences. And if you try to like 422 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:17,800 say, Hey, this is wrong. They're like, stop judging me. So no, I don't think humanity is headed in 423 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:23,240 the right place. I think it's very hedonistic. Oh yeah. That makes no absolutely no follow up 424 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:29,640 question. And I know how you feel about this, but you know, I want to hear it again. Do you think 425 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:35,640 COVID really accelerated a lot of that or changed the culture to where it's way more selfish and 426 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:41,320 way more promoting yourself over everyone else? I agree with you on that for sure, because I think 427 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:47,880 during COVID, everyone was so afraid. And it really invoked panic to where it was like if somebody 428 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:54,360 even, you know, came within six feet of you, people like get away from me. And so we started to 429 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:58,680 treat each other and people were ugly about it too. Like people were very ugly about it. And so 430 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,280 they didn't wear a mask. They were ugly about it. You're like, I mean, there was a whole, yeah. 431 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,880 It's a whole thing. And so people only started to care about them and their family. And they 432 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:14,600 realized, Hey, we can be here quarantined all together. We're fine. We don't really need anybody 433 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:21,160 else. And I think being in that survival mode, people never really came back from that. So now 434 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,960 that everything's opened up, it's like, Oh, like, I'm just going to protect me and my family. I 435 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,800 don't care about anybody else. I agree with you on that. And I also think that things like, you 436 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,120 know, we live in a great day and age for some things like delivery, grocery delivery to your 437 00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:41,720 home or food delivery to your home or different things like that. Amazon stuff like that, right? 438 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,280 And I think that had stuff to, you know, part to play with it too. If you had a pandemic back in 439 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,440 the day and things like that, you still had to go to the grocery store, right? And you still had to 440 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,400 go talk to people and you still had to interact with people. A lot of the times in this case, 441 00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:01,400 you just got it all delivered to your house. Some people just never left, right? And I really think, 442 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,680 you know, you do any sort of case study on people who are confined prison wise or anywhere else, 443 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,160 man, it changes some stuff. And, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people got changed 444 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,880 by that experience, you know, in a worse way and a lot of their bad characteristics are coming out. 445 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:23,160 Next question is, what is a movie or TV show that you think everyone should see? Man, that's a, 446 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,280 it's kind of a tough one. I had a few flashed through my mind, but when I said, okay, why would 447 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:33,400 you say that? It's like, I don't know. No, just tell us. Okay. The first one that flashed into my 448 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,920 mind was Family Guy. And I'm like, why Family Guy? I don't understand. This is my own mind. And I 449 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,000 don't understand. I don't understand why I'd want people to watch Family Guy. But there you go. Just 450 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:48,440 the early seasons. I don't know. Maybe it was because that's what taught me about life, that and Jerry 451 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:54,040 Springer. I mean, I mean, listen, coming home from school at four o'clock in the afternoon and watching 452 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,440 Jerry Springer and a couple of trainees throw down. I mean, there's nothing more about learning about 453 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:07,400 life than that. Anyways, so yeah, I would say that I did show my grandfather, Team America, 454 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:13,160 speaking of that. And I'm kind of ashamed of showing him that, but hey, culture. So yeah, 455 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:19,960 I guess Family Guy, guess that's what we're going with. I would say, I don't know. There's a couple 456 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,600 that I have in mind because everyone's like, oh, I hate the office. Like I don't think so much TV 457 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:32,680 shows because everyone has their preference, right? So TV shows is different. But movie, I don't know 458 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,680 why I say this, but Soul Plane. Like I feel like everyone needs to watch Soul Plane. I feel like 459 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:45,800 everyone needs to watch The Lion King because that's just a great movie. Which oh, I need it. Oh, 460 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,960 something else. I didn't even tell you this. I watched all about the Benjmans too. So we got to talk 461 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,480 about that at some point. Oh yeah. What'd you think of it? Did you like it? I thought it was funny. It 462 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,080 was definitely the time period and it was definitely Ice Cube. Man, that dude never takes that snarl off 463 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:06,520 his face. That's like his signature. Yeah, he's hilarious. I think also everyone should watch, 464 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,800 I don't know. I guess maybe I was thinking like all the bad boys because I think they're just great 465 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:19,640 movies. But I'm trying to think like what is one movie that's just like a cultural masterpiece? 466 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:26,840 Okay, I'll tell you what it is. It's the movie Gaslight. No, Gaslight. Shawshank prediction. 467 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,320 You should definitely watch Gaslight. Everyone should see it. It's an older movie, but everyone 468 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,440 should watch that movie because then they can understand the term where the term gaslighting 469 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,400 comes from and then they can actually use that term appropriately. You know, there's one movie 470 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:48,040 that I feel is really underrated and I think it's just watch it because I like it. But that's Flight 471 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:53,640 of the Phoenix with the whole Dennis Quaid and Tyrese Gibson. I don't love that movie and I don't 472 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,760 know why you love that. I don't know. It's wild. I don't know. It's an interesting one. Anyways, 473 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,400 well, is it any surprise that it's aviation related? Why do you think I like it? 474 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:11,320 I'm thinking it's a surprise. Let's see. Oh, this one's an interesting one. How do you think your 475 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,520 life would change if you became instantly famous? Oh, we kind of talked about this the other day. 476 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:23,960 I mean, obviously, I think I would be probably more stressed out because you couldn't really go 477 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:31,240 anywhere without, you know, people wanting autographs. You definitely wouldn't have any 478 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:38,680 privacy anymore. You would have to do a whole bunch of like, I think you're just your work and your 479 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,400 daily life would change if you were famous. Now, what am I famous for? That's the real question. 480 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:50,680 That is that is a real question. In my mind, if I saw Chris is famous, you know how I've always seen 481 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:56,040 you as kind of a flavorflav character where it's like all the rappers love you and you're just like 482 00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:01,800 a hype man for somebody. Like, I don't know why, but in my mind is like Christopher famous and like 483 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,760 hyping people up. I don't know. I can see it. Yep. That's me. Somebody said that. They were like, 484 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,480 you remind me of that little dude flavorflav and I was like, yeah, he is my spirit animal because 485 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,480 I don't know what it is, but it's like, you say Christopher famous. That's what pops into my mind. 486 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,560 I'm sure there's a lot of other things you could be famous for, but in my mind, you always be the 487 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,040 white flavorflav. I think for me, it would be the same thing. It would just, you know, you got to 488 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,120 get a car that's blacked out so people don't know it's you or else they'd be all up on you. Now, 489 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,840 you know, some celebrities do great with it, right? I feel like they do fantastic with it 490 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,440 and they're able to be pretty private about their lives and things like that. But I mean, 491 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:42,040 you hear all these stories about crazy stalkers and stuff coming for you and your family and you 492 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:47,080 don't know who they are. I hate that stuff. Like, yeah, I don't think so. If you could live in a 493 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:52,840 fictional world from a book or a movie, which one would you choose and why you live in that world? 494 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,480 If you could live in that world, see, the problem is most of the time in books or movies, the world 495 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,640 that they're in sucks and they're, you know, they're having to fight out of a problem of some 496 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,760 sort because it sucks. I'm trying to think and you know what I'm trying to think of? I'm just 497 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:11,960 trying to think of a movie that is set in a tropical beach somewhere that I'm telling you. I don't, 498 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:16,520 I don't know. Oh, there's a, well, I wouldn't want to live in that world either. I was going to say 499 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:22,200 there's a British murder mystery called death and paradise where they're in a Caribbean island. 500 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,040 And it's like, yeah, I'd like to be there, but then come to think of it, it's a very small island 501 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:32,440 and they tend to have a lot of murders. So I don't think so. I was going to say Friday and hang out 502 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,480 with Craig and Day Day, but definitely not. You just want to hang out in the hood with Craig and 503 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:44,760 Day Day or what? Yeah, I think I'd fit in for sure. I mean, it was just up the street from 504 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,480 Balfour. Yeah, I would probably want to live in like the Star Wars universe because if I could be 505 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,040 a Jedi, that would be kind of cool. I'm sure there's some, I'm sure there's some cool planets around 506 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:59,160 there though. I know this, I wouldn't be going out to the Dago bus system. I wouldn't be hanging 507 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,960 out around Tatooine and I know this, I wouldn't be living on Coruscant. That thing looks like one 508 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,920 big New York and I don't think so. I really want to be, would you want to live in the world of the 509 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,560 office? Would you want to live in that world? I guess if I could be Jim to where you're like the 510 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:19,720 number one salesman actually making money and just like secretly roasting people? Yeah, now if I had 511 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,280 to be like a Dwight Hale. Would you want to, would you want to live in the Bernie Mac show? 512 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:30,360 Oh, actually go back one step for the office. Is it the Dunder Mifflin or is it Dunder Mifflin 513 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:36,120 owned by Saber World? Which one are we talking about? No, it's the OG Dunder Mifflin. All right, 514 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,720 all right. So yeah, okay, yeah, I would do that. What was the next one? I'm sorry. I said, would you 515 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,400 want to live in the Bernie Mac show? As long as I'm not one of the kids and I get to be Bernie 516 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:51,240 with the money or just like Bernie's friend. Yeah, that's fine. Go play poker and hear them. 517 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,040 If you can only eat one cuisine or meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? 518 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:03,960 Chick-fil-A. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. Cuisine? Oh, probably pizza, man. I don't ever get 519 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:10,280 tired of pizza. Really? I get tired of pizza. For me, it's Mexican food. I get Mexican food all 520 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:16,040 day, every day, man. Just keep on giving. It's like in the morning, slap some beans in a tortilla. 521 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:21,240 We're good for lunch. Give me a couple of enchiladas with some rice and beans for dinner. Give me some 522 00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:26,600 like carne gasada. We rolling, man. I'll probably be 400 pounds by the end of the week, but that's 523 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:32,280 also like the part of Texas you live in because it's good over there. And I guess that's true. 524 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,640 Man, even the fast food places are good around here, Mexican food wise. But anyways, 525 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:43,640 all right, cool. What's my next one? All right. Oh, we're going to get really deep here. 526 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:49,320 What's the most valuable lesson you've learned from a failure? Trust in yourself. That was the 527 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:54,920 biggest thing was I was putting my, and the failure that I'm thinking about, and it's a long story, 528 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,080 so we're not going into it, but the failure that I'm thinking about was I did not trust myself. 529 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:05,400 I didn't trust my gut. I knew what you know down deep that, hey, what you know and what you're 530 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:13,160 saying is right and you listen to other people. So I guess the two biggest things was don't listen 531 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:20,440 to other people and trust yourself. And ever since then, it's been a lot better because 532 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,800 you listen to where your compass is guiding. And you're not always right, but at the same time, 533 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,320 majority of the time, the people who are trying to sway you in a different direction to have an 534 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:35,800 agenda anyways, you know? How about yourself? What's a lesson? I think it's to not be so hard on 535 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:45,960 yourself, to give yourself grace for sure, definitely with, you know, being married before and stuff. 536 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:52,520 I think it was more like, hey, don't ever let anybody make you believe something about yourself 537 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,520 that's not true. You know what I mean? Like, or doubt your worth or anything like that. And you 538 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:00,440 got to put up boundaries and you got to put up or decide what your worth is. I think. 539 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:06,520 Well, I'm going to match your, man, chat, GBT kind of put these back to back like this, I guess. 540 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:12,920 But the next question is also deep. What is a belief or something that you, or I'm sorry, 541 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,560 what is a belief that you held strongly in the past and you since changed your mind about? 542 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:25,720 Ooh, a belief that I've held strongly in the past that I since changed my mind about. Oh, 543 00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:36,120 I'll tell you this. And please don't judge me for this. But I, being in my faith, I used to really 544 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:41,880 think that if you struggle with depression or anxiety, that it was like a spiritual problem 545 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,520 and that you didn't have enough faith. Because you don't have the faith to go on. 546 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:54,120 Yeah. But that was like a young naive thing. And having like experienced it myself, I learned that 547 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:59,160 sometimes people just go through that because sometimes there's chemical imbalances, sometimes 548 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:05,160 there's past traumas, past hurts that people need to work with. And that it's okay to like 549 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:12,440 some things like yes, prayer fixes, but sometimes some things counseling fixes and prayer. And then 550 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:17,720 sometimes it's counseling prayer and maybe some medical help, right? Like some medicine or whatever. 551 00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:23,640 And so that has been a belief that I have that I have since changed. Yeah, absolutely. One of my 552 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:31,000 major ones, and some of you will be like, why? I used to not think that women belong to leadership, 553 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:36,840 like at all. And that's a, I know, right? That's a lot of how I was raised in the part of the country 554 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:43,240 and some of this, even some of the religion played into that a little bit. But especially when it came 555 00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:50,120 to when Hillary Clinton was running for president, that was my whole reason at the time of not wanting 556 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,560 to vote for it wasn't because of Benghazi wasn't because of any of the other stuff that people 557 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,240 were saying. It was literally because it's like nope, women can't be president, can't do it, 558 00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:02,440 just not supposed to happen. It's always supposed to be a guy. And since I've changed that, it's like, 559 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,440 you know, my mindset right now is I don't care what you are, as long as you don't, as long as that 560 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,240 doesn't come in between things and as long as you're not favoring one gender over the other or 561 00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:18,600 however that works. And as long as you're doing a good job, who cares? Right? I mean, as long as 562 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,360 they're doing, they're supposed to do, I mean, England's had how many female prime ministers 563 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:27,080 and it worked out fine. So I mean, they had Margaret Thatcher and how many Queens have they had and 564 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,880 that worked out fine too. Look how many Queens America's had just look at RuPaul. All right, 565 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:42,600 next. Oh, all right. Mine is a two part question. Okay. First part of it, what is your favorite 566 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:47,400 holiday just of all time? Thanksgiving. Oh, yeah, I knew that. Why is it your favorite holiday? 567 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,840 One, you can gorge yourself in two football. And a lot of times I just like Thanksgiving food. So 568 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,680 unless you make it funky, I've been to some people's houses or friends' givings where y'all 569 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:02,120 be making some goofy stuff. All I'm saying is I like my turkey. I like my stuffing with not too 570 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,600 much weird fancy stuff. It's just mostly bread. Don't screw that up. You know, I've seen like 571 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,160 raisins and stuffing and crap. I don't think so, Brian. And this is the second part of my question. 572 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:16,920 If you could create a new holiday, what would it celebrate and how would people observe? Man, 573 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:22,600 I think this is really, I am going to pull from a TV show here. I think there's some merit to 574 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:29,720 having Festivus. Have you ever heard of Festivus, Christopher? Festivus for the rest of us. Yes, 575 00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:35,800 it comes from a TV show. It's from Seinfeld and it's George Costanz's dad. He used to celebrate 576 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:41,720 Festivus and pretty much the reason that I would want it's it's goofy holiday and basically each 577 00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:45,720 family just makes up what you want. But the main bit is instead of a Christmas tree, you put up a 578 00:39:45,720 --> 00:39:51,160 Festivus pole and it's just a pole in the middle of your house that you can wrap with garland or 579 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:57,160 whatever. And one of the best things and I think every family needs this is the airing of grievances. 580 00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,760 That's the first thing that you do. You sit down at the table and everybody's kind of problem. 581 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:07,720 Dare it out. Right there. It's not a fun holiday. It's more of a joke holiday than anything, I guess. 582 00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:12,760 But Festivus for the rest of us. That's all I got to say. Do you have a holiday that you would 583 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:19,240 invent? Is there one up top your head that you're like? Yes, I would. The National WWE holiday. 584 00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:27,160 And what we do is we I'm not advocating for this if my job is listening, but we do the Stone Cold 585 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:34,280 Steve Austin. Smash two beers together. Yeah. Do the beers together. And then you and then instead 586 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:39,560 of the 25 days of Christmas, you do the 25 days of WrestleMania. So you watch the first you pick 587 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:49,000 a match from each of the first five or first 25 WrestleMania's and you watch it. So actually I 588 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:57,480 watch on Christmas Eve. This is a tradition that I started last year. I watched WrestleMania 24, 589 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:01,880 the match between Shawn Michaels and Rick Blair. It was Rick Flair's retirement match. 590 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:07,080 And then on Christmas Day, I watched Shawn Michaels versus the Undertaker from WrestleMania 25. 591 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,920 That's just a tradition now, huh? Yep, it is a tradition. We also watch, 592 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,800 like leading up to Christmas, we watch all the Harry Potter's. I don't know. It's not a Christmas 593 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:20,840 movie, but it just feels like Christmas time when we watch Harry Potter. Now, I totally get that. 594 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,680 One movie tradition that we actually have, believe it or not, my family has a movie tradition. 595 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,320 Can you believe that? No, what is your movie tradition? Mainly my wife says, yes, we're 596 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,800 watching this. But every Halloween, we watch Rocky Horror Picture Show. That's lovely. Yeah, 597 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:41,480 it's a very interesting movie. Anyways, we can do it. We can do it. We can do one more piece. 598 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:46,440 It's okay if we go long. Let's do it. Let's do it. All right. So was it my turn or yours? What is an 599 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,480 advent or an invention or a source of media that you think will be obsolete in 10 years? 600 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:58,040 An invention or source of media. The Blu-ray player is already kind of obsolete. The DVD 601 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:05,240 player is also obsolete. DVD player too. I don't know if the printers are going to be obsolete. 602 00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:11,080 Probably not for the foreseeable future. Mainly just because so many people still print things out 603 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:16,040 and use paper copies of stuff. And until that goes away and everything is mainly digital, 604 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,920 let's be honest, when all the other generations die off and there's nothing left but to have 605 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:26,600 emails sent back and forth. Maybe in 10 years, it might be obsolete. I don't know if Facebook, 606 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:34,600 I know people maybe because everything, because younger generations don't use Facebook as much. 607 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:41,640 They're using Instagram and TikTok. Well, they haven't for a while, man. I mean, 608 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:46,360 it's been like a 10, that's been like 10 years. I mean, because I remember like 2013, 2014, 609 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:51,400 it was already kind of like, eh, it's Instagram, everything else. And Facebook was kind of only 610 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:55,400 used for older people and people that were kind of behind on the times. I don't know. 611 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,920 What do you think? That's a really hard one. You covered all the ones I was thinking about. 612 00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:05,240 I think that eventually, this is a bold prediction, but I eventually think that cold, 613 00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:09,480 hard cash is going to be gone. I don't think we're going to have cash at all. I don't think we're 614 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:15,400 going to have paper money. I think it's going to go all to digital currency, which is not good. 615 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:21,720 But I like paper. I like paper money too. But so many people, I mean, you know our governments, 616 00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:25,880 they say they're printing the money, but it's really not going into circulation. So it's 617 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,400 just not a lot of people have it. And I mean, think about this, man, the system that 618 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,600 the banks and everybody else wants you to be in, you put your money in there. It's kind of like 619 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,840 a video game, right? You put your tokens in there. It shows you how much money is in there, 620 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,560 but it's not real money. It's just showing you what could be there, right? That money's gone. 621 00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,160 The bank's already spent it, done other stuff with it. I think it's more, 622 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:56,280 they want to get us to a place in society to where they don't have to do any sort of currency. And 623 00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,440 they can, you know, it's a lot easier for the government banks to dictate things. And I don't 624 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,320 want to go all conspiracy theorists stuff, but it's like, I think they want it to go that way. 625 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,400 It's a lot easier to control than the paper money route. So I think that's where it's going to head. 626 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,040 And it costs a lot to do. It costs a lot to do paper money. It costs a lot to do coins, 627 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,840 especially like the penny. We've been losing money on the penny for a long time. 628 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:22,520 For sure. All right. Last question is a two part question. Okay. I ended on a good one. 629 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:29,000 So think about it. If you could talk to your future self, what is one question you would ask 630 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,400 your future self? How much money we got? 631 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,440 I guess that would be kind of the general question, like how we doing? Like, 632 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:46,920 it's, I guess it's kind of hard because it's like, it's a very broad question, right? And the how you 633 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:54,200 doing? The future me would know you got kids. Like, are we in a house? Do we got money? Yeah. 634 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,480 What's going on? Where are we at? What's the career look like? You know? 635 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:06,680 All right. Then if you can tell your past self from 10 years ago, anything. So yeah, you do the math 636 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,960 because I didn't want to tell people how old you are on the podcast. If you could tell yourself 637 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:20,040 or tell yourself something from 10 years ago, what would you tell 10, 10 year, not 10 year old 638 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:24,760 to you, but you know what I'm 10 year before you, it's hard because I would probably tell them about 639 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,320 everything that happened. I would get out of a certain relationship sooner and say, you know what? 640 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,800 Like, or tell them like, Hey, don't waste your time with this sort of thing. And from your 641 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:38,360 future self and where you'd be sitting at, you'd be better off going this direction with things 642 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:44,360 instead of wasting your time over in this other area pretty much. Like one of the things and I'll 643 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:49,000 elaborate one of the things I would say is I know you want to go to flight school and things like 644 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,960 that. That's not going to work out the first time. And it's going to cause you some problems. So 645 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:59,240 do yourself a favor, go ahead and get into it. Don't go and follow certain people 646 00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:05,240 into the IT field, but go ahead and start getting your certifications. Because if I would have done 647 00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:10,440 that when I first got out of high school and things like that, at this point, it would be like 648 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,240 this career. And of course you're sitting here going to hindsight, but if I had to tell myself 649 00:46:15,240 --> 00:46:21,400 anything, it'd be like, man, you'll make the boo-coos later to be able to fly, you know, but 650 00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:25,640 just set yourself up now to make that happen. I think I would tell kind of like you said, I think 651 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:31,960 I would tell my past self, hey, like get out of these certain relationships. Don't let certain 652 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:40,280 people come between your friendship with you and Micah. I would say don't let the job dictate 653 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:47,560 your time off. Like don't kill yourself for the job that you're working now. I would definitely 654 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:55,400 tell myself to get out of the law enforcement path and to start on the ministry path. 655 00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,920 Again, like I think the biggest one would be like, hey, this relationship that you're in is not good 656 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:06,680 for you and you need to get out of it right now because you're going to waste years of heartache 657 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:11,880 and trauma and all that stuff and you don't want to do that. And so I think I would tell 658 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:18,120 past self, hey, you know what? You just need to worry about going to school, get an apartment 659 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:24,840 with Micah, hang out, enjoy these years. Like don't spend your early 20s just working away or 660 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:29,320 caring about all this stuff. Like have fun. Like you're in your early 20s. I don't feel like I ever 661 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:35,480 really got to quote unquote have fun in my early 20s. And you know, if it all would have worked 662 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:40,520 out, you know, I think even if it would have been just South Plains or whatever, that is one thing. 663 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:46,760 It's like just go to school, go to college and not just necessarily for the degree, right? 664 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,920 At this day and age, as bad as it is, I think degrees are kind of worthless because everybody's 665 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:56,440 got them. It's all about experience. That's what's that's what's getting people jobs. And so I wouldn't 666 00:47:56,440 --> 00:48:01,880 necessarily say go for the degree, but go for the fun. Like college is supposed to be a fun time, 667 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:06,760 right? You go and do classes and stuff. And I did have some fun in college, like with the people 668 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:12,520 and things like that. I think if I would have balanced it a little bit better with my classes, 669 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,000 I would have enjoyed it a lot more. But at the same time, I was in a bad relationship, you know, 670 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,360 there's all sorts of crap going on. And so it's like, if we could have a redo to where it's like, 671 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,480 you and I got to hang out, we were just, you know, we had an apartment together and 672 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,840 chilled for a few years went to college, whatnot, I think it would have been a good time. Yeah, 673 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:36,600 I think I would have. I think I also would have let them know like, hey, like, you don't have much 674 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:42,120 time left with your dad. Make sure you make sure you spend that time with him and ask him all the 675 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:47,960 questions you want to ask him and all that good stuff. You know, it's wild though. Thinking about 676 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:53,960 this prompt and we'll wrap it up. But thinking about this prompt, it's what's weird about it is, 677 00:48:53,960 --> 00:49:00,120 I'm not 100% sure even if I went back future self, I've improved it to myself from the past of like, 678 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:05,800 hey, this is me from the future 10 years from now, you know, it's 2024, you prove all that stuff. 679 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:12,040 I'm not even 100% sure that 10 years ago, me would have listened, even though I'm 680 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,400 telling you straight up. That's what I was going to ask you. I was like, do you think I would 681 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,480 listen? I don't know. That's a hard one, but I'm not 100% certain I would have. I probably 682 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,280 have been like, you'll know what you're talking about. Yeah, probably like, oh, you don't know 683 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:28,040 anything. You're stupid. It's going to all work out. You're like, bro, I'm from the future. I'm 684 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,960 telling you, it's not going to work out. It's like, I've already seen the path before you for the next 685 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:37,320 10 years. Don't don't do certain things. But you know, me back then, I was so full of pride and so 686 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:41,560 full ego to the point where it's like, oh, yeah, well, I'll make it work. Even if it didn't work 687 00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:45,720 for you, you're, you know, I'll make it work kind of thing. Oh yeah, I was that way too, 688 00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:51,000 bro. I was, again, I was so full of pride and ego and you think you are. Oh yeah, you think you're 689 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,320 invincible and you think you know everything and you think you're Iron Man and none of it's true. 690 00:49:55,880 --> 00:50:00,760 So anyways, man, but that was a fun episode. A lot of good prompts. You got to love AI for 691 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:05,480 throwing some curveballs in there. Some of them I wasn't expecting. Some of them were a little 692 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:10,680 generic and like, okay, I can, you know, it's pretty easy, but some of them really made me think. 693 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,880 So for sure. Well, tell them where they can go for all the socials and funding all the stuff. 694 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:21,080 At the trash can network. It's at the trash can network. Man, trash can network is building and 695 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:27,480 booming. We are just short of having our record number of subscribers. And man, I'm just, I'm 696 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,400 really happy with how that's booming. If you're into the aviation side of thing, you know, we got 697 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:36,280 the Aviator Society over on Instagram, that thing's booming as well and really growing. And I mean, 698 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,920 we're to the point now, you know, it's insane. I need really need to put this more on our TV 699 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:47,640 trash care or not TV trash can. Geez, I'm talking the old branding. Our trash can network Facebook 700 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:54,360 page, we pretty much have daily videos going out, whether it's on trash can network on YouTube, 701 00:50:54,360 --> 00:51:00,360 or over on the Aviator Society. It's, I mean, it's pumping out some content. So if you haven't seen 702 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,600 it and you're interested, go ahead and go ahead and check it out and give us a like and a subscribe 703 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:10,200 over there. That would be great. And so yeah, man. Yeah, everybody can give us a check out, 704 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:15,960 except for my cousin, Steven, until he pays back my mom, pay back my mom, Steven. Yeah, Steven, 705 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,240 make me come over. I haven't cut a promo on him in a couple weeks. So I feel like it was time. 706 00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:27,320 Don't make me come to old South Carolina and find you old Steven. Anyways, well, I think it's time 707 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:35,240 to sign off. I'm Chris and I'm like, and we built this donut box. This is the box we did.
