So, you know last few times we've been 56 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,600 Asking interviewing probing questions to each other and guess what that's not going to change this week 57 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,920 Since we're on our free flow. We're going to ask each other questions. Man. I uh, wrecked my brain a little bit 58 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,200 This week with some of these questions. So I'm excited to hear your answer on some of these 59 00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:34,200 Well, it sounds like you want to go ahead and start us off since you have all these questions 60 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,720 Oh, oh, okay. Well, all right the first question that I have 61 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:42,680 Uh, and this has to do with our friendship. What is a personal value or belief? 62 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,320 That you hold that you feel has significantly influenced our friendship 63 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,120 Oh, that's a really good question because that was going to be a similar question that I asked you right off the bat 64 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,120 See, this is why we're friends. Um 65 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,240 I I would say probably just 66 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,040 uh, loyalty like 67 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:06,120 Um, it for me, it's really hard to let people in but once I let people in 68 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,800 Like I'm loyal to you like I'm loyal to you until you give me a reason to not be 69 00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:15,800 And so I think that has influenced our friendship just the fact of like, hey 70 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,680 Like I'm just going to be around whatever you need 71 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:24,440 Um, and the one thing that I do appreciate our about our friendship. It's not always about the activity 72 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:32,440 It's just about like being friends together. So like Mike and I you know, whether it's playing video games or it's doing uber eats 73 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:38,360 Or it's doing this podcast or it's going fishing or whatever it is like 74 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,840 It doesn't matter like I'm happy to just hang out with my friend like yeah 75 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Like I'll go watch airplanes and just sit there and talk like I may not care about 76 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Like the airplanes as much as my good does but like just hanging out with my buddy 77 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,560 Uh, just talk of all 78 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,280 You know, we watch airplanes. So I think maybe 79 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:03,080 Uh, I don't know just having that loyalty because loyalty is a big yeah, and I think along the same lines for myself is uh 80 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,840 somebody that's uh 81 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:11,000 Very trustworthy like what I like about you is you're very accountable. You're accountable to yourself sometimes to a fault 82 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,160 Sometimes you're accountable to yourself to where it's like, hey, uh, you don't have to 83 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,160 Be down on yourself on that. That's actually a good thing. You know what I mean? 84 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,400 It's like some people aren't accountable enough 85 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,480 and you know 86 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:29,320 Therefore again, if they do something that's not to your liking and you tell them, hey, that's not acceptable 87 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,000 You know a lot of people will just blow you off or whatever. Chris is not that way 88 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,080 In fact, he'll try to make it right almost to a fault. You know what I mean? Like 89 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,400 The man will bend over backwards make sure that like he'll break his back 90 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:46,680 And you have to tell him like hey, it's not a big and you know that could be kind of somewhat detrimental 91 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,440 you know with some people that try to try to mess with you and 92 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Um 93 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,240 Trying to you know exploit that but at the same time it's like 94 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,560 I don't know. I could trust you a lot because I know that you know 95 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,840 You're being genuine, you know what I mean and that if something happens, you'll make it right 96 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,080 You know, like even if you even if you did something it's like, hey, I'm not about that which 97 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,760 Never really happens and I think it's one of those things too, man 98 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,200 We've known each other for so long. There's not a lot of crap talking that we can do to each other that 99 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,600 Is going to hurt our feelings. So there's not a whole lot that's like, hey, you offended me here 100 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,640 But I know that if there was ever something that what were to happen 101 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,720 I I could talk to you and be like, hey 102 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,040 Like there's a problem and I didn't like that and like you'd make it right, you know, I mean in fact 103 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,760 Again going to the other point. It's like I'd probably have to tell you okay. You've made it right 104 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:42,520 You can stop now. It's all good. I promise it's all good for sure. I heard this saying is like 105 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,920 Find someone that you can trust your kids with your wife with and your 106 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,280 Money with or your wallet with and if you can trust 107 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,240 Yeah, if you can trust someone with those three things then 108 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,480 That's a friend for life and that's that's for for sure true 109 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:03,320 Um, so kind of going similar based off and this is I guess kind of a follow-up question and this is the question 110 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,080 I was going to ask you 111 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,360 What's not like affecting our friendship boat? 112 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,960 You said being a trustworthy person is a big deal to you 113 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:19,160 But what are some other like core beliefs that is just true to who you are like true to who mic is like 114 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,720 You say these are some of my like core beliefs trust is a big thing and then I also say that um 115 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,360 Like you talked about loyalty is a big thing another thing for me is 116 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,360 On it like and I guess it goes along with the trust is uh 117 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,160 Like I 118 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,320 So divulging a little bit 119 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:44,760 And I used to have a big problem with lying about things like I used to lie left and right in fact like I think at 120 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,160 One point I was probably on the path to be a perpetual liar if I would say so 121 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,400 and you know 122 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,200 things kind of shaped me over the years and it's to the point now where it's like 123 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,440 You've been burned by your own lies you've been burned by other people's lies to the point where 124 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,840 The truth is very important and honesty is incredibly important 125 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,200 And of course that ties into trust as well. I try to be honest to a fault and that's hard to do 126 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,200 because 127 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,200 You know, especially in our society people don't talk about this. We've I think we talked about it when fries my donuts 128 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,800 But sometimes you are expected to lie like let's be let's be real there is some situation 129 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,360 Yes, there are small lies, but you know 130 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,160 Weren't you always told don't even say white lies? 131 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,080 But you know how many times have you been at somebody's house and their food's terrible and you have to say? 132 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,560 Oh, yeah, no, it's great. Right like it's you don't want to hurt their feelings 133 00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:43,800 So you have to lie right you can't say no, it's crap. Yeah, it definitely is and there's a lot more 134 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,800 You know, that's that's a nuance that I can you know name off top of my head 135 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,520 But there's a lot of other ones where you're sitting here going 136 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:56,520 You know, I'm not 100 I'm not being 100% truthful. You know what I mean? And so it bothers me 137 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,520 those little things bother me, but 138 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,520 I would say that and then 139 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,520 I think worth work ethic is something else like if there's something that I feel like 140 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,480 If there's something that I feel like I can hang my hat on it's it's work ethic. It's like 141 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,520 Yeah, I was gonna say nobody can say that I'm not afraid of a little bit of work 142 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:20,600 Like if you if you knew anything about my life like hey, I'll say this and it's the same for Chris 143 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,800 Even putting on a podcast every week. You can't be afraid of work 144 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:29,000 Like even what we do here. This is just a side thing that we do right and it's fun for us and whatnot 145 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,520 But it's still work like and it's still a lot. It's still a lot of work and even though we're in a groove 146 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,880 You know, it's still it still takes our time each week. So 147 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,720 You know, there's things like that and 148 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,720 um, you know, there's things like that and but at the same time 149 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,840 Never really been afraid of that hard work and I know you haven't either 150 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,600 I think uh two going back to where you were kind of sharing about 151 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:58,680 Like having the issue with lying. I think that was number one probably your upbringing 152 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Just because of the people that you were around but also too 153 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,640 You were putting a lot of situations where if you told the truth it wasn't good enough 154 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,760 So you just told had to tell people like what they needed to hear to kind of get out of it 155 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,440 um, but I think also too like with your 156 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,240 Gift and again, I'm not trying to go pastoral 157 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,800 But Micah has a very like he kind of can tell things and read things and know 158 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:30,280 When things are going to happen before they happen. And so when Micah is very like, hey like 159 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,280 This is not right or there's something off about this person like 160 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,280 99% of the time he's usually pretty right 161 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,720 And so I know that can be kind of frustrating when you tell people hey 162 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,840 We need to do this or hey something's off about this person. I'm telling you I'm telling you I'm telling you 163 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,960 And then people don't listen to you. So I know that's that's hard 164 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,920 You know, probably a hundred times worse when you actually see 165 00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:56,520 It is frustrating when it's like everybody likes this person 166 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,920 But there's something off about them and I don't know what it is 167 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,520 But it's like a hundred times worse when you know what's off about them 168 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,840 But nobody else sees it or they choose not to see it. I think that's the frustrating part too 169 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,320 And then because what you can see 170 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,480 Happening is okay. You could tell who they are you could tell by okay 171 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,440 What's happening you could tell what's coming down the road, right? 172 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,240 And you're going all I see is pain and anguish coming down the road for these people and that's hard 173 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,840 But tell me tell me if you're uh, if I'm wrong 174 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,840 But one thing I have found is similar to like hey, there's something off about this person 175 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,000 I don't know exactly what it is and then I I'm like, oh man 176 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,760 Like I'm just being judgmental and then what six months down the road 177 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,960 There something does end up being wrong with them. You're like, no 178 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,760 What I should have trusted that gut feeling the whole time because I was right like have you ever had that happen? 179 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,000 Oh, yeah, and it's like a major character thing too. Like it'll be a major character thing 180 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,960 It won't be something small like it's never something super small. It'd be something like ooh, that's pretty bad 181 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,880 um 182 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:04,760 Yeah, that that's happened quite a bit and then I don't know the other thing too is um, I don't know if you've had this 183 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,760 But I've had people 184 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,840 I don't know how much you feel about you know magnetism and whatnot, but 185 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,720 Really people repel from you like I guess they're too similar or whatnot 186 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,320 But like have you ever had these people to where you've never met them before? 187 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,440 But you just look at them you can look at them and go 188 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:30,840 So that person and myself would not get along and like from the bat like I don't know why those people always have 189 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,880 bad energy around you and like 190 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,160 Or automatically don't like you or something and I don't know I'm able to peg that of like 191 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,920 I don't know why but that person doesn't like me even though we've never spoken before 192 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,720 It's like I could already tell we're not going to be able to get along 193 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,080 Like I could tell that it's so funny because whenever me and Micah are like hanging out together 194 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,840 I think it's like that gift of discernment double because we'll both like we ain't even gotta say nothing 195 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,720 But like we'll see something pop off or something 196 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:05,000 And like we'll just look at each other and then after we'll be like are you thinking what I'm thinking and he'll be like 197 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,600 Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of like something's off about this person or I bet 198 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,360 I can tell that this person's situation is x y and he was like, dude 199 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,560 I was thinking the exact same thing and I'm like, yep 200 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,360 This why we're friends 201 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,360 It's like you could tell that stuff.

I think I would have still remained in that 208 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000 um 209 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,240 I wouldn't say sheltered but that shell that nerdy judgmental 210 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,160 um state and I don't I think I would have played it 211 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:06,200 Too safe all the time and again, I did play it safe a lot at in high school and middle school and growing up 212 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,160 But I really do think like I would have kind of fallen into that very judgmental 213 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,280 Um stay and I I don't think I would have been that well liked 214 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,960 Um because I mean you can attest to it. I was I was annoying. I was annoying as a kid that age 215 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,640 Um and if something I think you helped me grow out of that like dude just like loosen up bro 216 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,720 like it's okay to have fun um 217 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:38,600 And I without going too too deep into it like right before I met you as a friend like something traumatic had happened 218 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000 um like probably a year or six months before and that kind of like 219 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,400 Thinking back on it that kind of caused me to shut down as a kid and kind of be in my shell 220 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,320 Kind of be that nerdy like hey, I'm just gonna put my nose in a book 221 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,440 Um this and that and so I think I would have and I was also really sensitive 222 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,480 Like really really sensitive at that age 223 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,320 And so dude, I'm telling you like I say this all the time 224 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:09,480 But like I truly think God gave you to me as a friend because like all the storms that 225 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,040 Like I've been through and I don't think I would have made it to be honest with you like I don't 226 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:20,040 I honestly don't know how I've made it through sometimes other than through a god and a wonderful support system 227 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,120 Well, it was one of those things man. It's like you a cool dude one of one of my good friends 228 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,160 Oh, mr. Adrian if you listen in what's up, dude? 229 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,920 um, he he said at Beth and it was 230 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,480 Dude, you're cool. You just need to figure out how to tap into that right? 231 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:41,000 And like it was the same thing. It's like nah, man. You cool and you know, I remember we 232 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,320 It was interesting because and I know we're divulging it to like early on into friendship kind of stuff 233 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,720 but I do remember that 234 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:55,480 You had a sense of humor, right? Like you had a good sense of humor, but you almost like felt bad about laughing 235 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,920 Right? It was almost one of those things where it's like you'd kind of laugh and it's like 236 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,640 Nah, bro. It's okay to laugh like it's it's cool that it's funny like it's funny to me, too 237 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,640 It was almost like a 238 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,760 You know, you almost had to be comfortable enough in the moment to be able to loosen up just to laugh kind of thing 239 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,320 it was I mean 240 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,320 You want to talk about rigid? You were pretty rigid 241 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:20,840 But at the same time all the good qualities were there. It was just like like you said once you got out of that shell 242 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,200 It was a lot. It's a lot better because once people get to know you 243 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:29,960 I mean again, most people like you. I mean 95 of people like you, but there's always that 5% 244 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:36,200 That's stupid. What about you first and foremost? I've thought about this before because it's very likely that this could have happened 245 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,280 There's you know, my father was in the military 246 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,400 Um, we got stationed to Augusta. It's very possible. We had like three other places 247 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,200 We could have went right like just that move. It's very possible that we might not have 248 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,200 You know gone 249 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,080 And so the fact that we moved there first of all was big but like, you know, I think about okay 250 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:01,240 If if we didn't and they were elsewhere hate to be dumb, but like honestly as I see it 251 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:05,000 I'm not sure how it's hard because it's like I'm not sure how my life would have went 252 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,520 I could see how yours would have probably I think you would have stayed in Augusta 253 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,160 I think you probably would have went to Augusta state or 254 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,400 Stayed around there. You know what I mean? Like I don't think you would have came out here 255 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,560 No, your side for myself 256 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:21,480 It's hard because meeting my wife changed a lot of things 257 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,480 But like without Chris, I don't know if like again kind of like you said 258 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,480 I wouldn't have made it through a lot of situations, right? 259 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,520 Because there's always been something that's great about our friendship if 260 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,880 One of us has gone through something or is going through something the other one has probably gone through it already 261 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,680 Or is currently going through it and it's like wait, I didn't know anybody else was oh great. You are too great 262 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,200 We could figure it out 263 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,400 And so that's always been good. I think what's hard is it's just like without that 264 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,520 I don't know what life would it look like. It's really hard 265 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,520 because 266 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,920 It was I mean constant for so long 267 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,040 I don't think it would have been nearly as good and I think that probably 268 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,280 Being that only child 269 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,520 I think that I probably would have not besieged deep friendships, right? 270 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,480 Like been cool with acquaintances because being a military kid 271 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,960 You kind of have that expectations people come and go right people come and go all the time 272 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,440 And so you don't have a real deep relationship 273 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,720 You enjoy them while they're around and then once they're gone they're gone 274 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,440 They're gone and that's probably how I've lived my life with a lot of friends wise, right? 275 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,440 Like it's cool while they're hanging out but because that's all of my other friends have been 276 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,320 It's just like yeah, they were cool while they were around but you know now life is 277 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,920 Tickets course and we're in all in different places my question for you and again. I'm not trying to be like 278 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,200 Oh, I'm this boy Boy Scout same thing 279 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,440 Whatever, but do you think you would have maybe been more 280 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:50,920 Or susceptible to fall in with a rougher crowd or do you think? Oh, yeah, sure 281 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,240 Been like oh whoever I'm friends with where I'm friends with because that is one thing like 282 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,880 I noticed, you know 283 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,960 Like through our friendship like you always had that tendency to gravitate towards like 284 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,480 Not they weren't the horrible crowd, but they were definitely like 285 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,960 The troublemakers I would say and I think the hard part about that is it's because I always see the good in people 286 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:17,160 and a lot of times the troublemaker crowd I related to that because I got in trouble a lot at school too 287 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,680 And you know, I did a lot of that on my own and a lot of it's misunderstood stuff and like misplaced 288 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,240 You know what I mean? So it's like 289 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:32,920 But at the same time broken people are broken people sometimes and you don't know that as a kid, but I digress the thing is 290 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,560 I don't know man. I think that I probably would have 291 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:46,440 Um, I think there's a lot of influences that that helped me with this, but I definitely think that 292 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,880 Um, if certain things were to happen and you know, if our friendship didn't exist 293 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,320 I think that there probably would have been a higher possibility of me having been in prison at least once or twice 294 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,000 By this point in my life or having a kid or having a kid 295 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,400 I think mine. I think a lot of mine is like kid or legal activity 296 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:11,640 Like I think a lot of it would have been I don't know how to put it like I could I could see myself doing a lot of 297 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,200 things because there was a point in time where 298 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,760 Um, and I think it was the area we grew up in right and rap music and things like that 299 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,000 But I really wanted to do a lot of legal activity that sort of thing 300 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,600 It's like make your money on the street so you can buy businesses kind of thing. But again, that was the uh 301 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,080 I think that was kind of just the the time and what was being 302 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:39,960 Mainstreamed over to us. It's like if I would have continued on that path then you know, you know 303 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,360 Because one of one of my ideas at least back then I don't know if I even told you this but one of my ideas 304 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:49,880 And this was like eight nine years old was uh boosting cars like that's what I thought about doing was like 305 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,440 Yeah, all and this is dumb to think about now 306 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,480 But it's like all I need to do is just boost a few cars and I could turn them around on the black market 307 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,480 And I'll just that's how I'll make my money like I won't even need a job 308 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,560 All you have to do is just steal a few and it's like that's some dumb that's some dumb thinking 309 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:07,640 So, you know 310 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,800 If it would have continued like that. Yeah, I probably would have been in jail or prison one last thing on it 311 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,640 But the thing is you know 312 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,960 I had to go to church to hang out with you at least for a long time until you got a car 313 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,600 So it's one of those things it's like that's you know, that's a lot of what kept you going to church 314 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,600 Maybe want to go to church. So I guess in that sense. Yeah for sure 315 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,240 Well, though, I'm gonna switch gears a little bit and kind of ask more of a lighthearted question 316 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,600 And then we can get back to the to the nitty gritty, but 317 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,320 Would you rather? 318 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:45,000 be able to hold your breath as long as like infinitely in space or underwater 319 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,920 underwater 320 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:53,240 Probably really I'm surprised you didn't pick space. I thought you were gonna pick space for sure underwater is dope, man 321 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,200 I don't know. I don't know why like I really want to get all my scuba stuff 322 00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:02,360 Like I really that's something that I've been thinking about here lately a lot and so 323 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,160 um, I don't know man the ocean's a very 324 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,640 Interesting place and I mean barring of course that you can survive temperatures things like that 325 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,520 man, there's all sorts of stuff like you can dive between tectonic plates and Iceland and 326 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,720 um, I mean underwater is a whole different 327 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:25,480 It's got its own eco ecosystems and all sorts of stuff, man. It's cool. I mean spaces would be awesome as well 328 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,240 It's just I don't know man right now 329 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,840 I guess I'm more on an ocean kick and you know how I feel about the water 330 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,640 But I think I would pick the same thing because I do want to like if you were to 331 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:42,520 explore the ocean and like the tropics and pretty places and all that stuff like it really is a whole 332 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,840 like beautiful world down there 333 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,760 So if I could hold my breath infinitely and be able to explore down there 334 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:55,000 I think that would be really really what what's interesting too is places you wouldn't think so but places like Alaska 335 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,960 If you look at their coast and like under the water and things like that. It's totally different as well 336 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,720 It's like tropical, but in a different way because it's cold. It's where it's weird 337 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,440 um, so I'd want to see all that but 338 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,080 Yeah, for sure. Um 339 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:15,560 All right, so it's funny that you went to a would you rather question because my next question is a would you rather question? 340 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:21,800 So would you rather have an extra hour free time every day or would you rather have an extra day off every week? 341 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,200 Extra day off every week 342 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,760 But then again 343 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:32,200 Yeah, you want that I have to like is it like hey like you literally cannot work on this day 344 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:37,880 I mean, I would say so. Yeah. Yeah, I would want an extra day off during the week. I promise you I would 345 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,520 if I could work, uh 346 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:48,840 Three 12s or 10 4s or whatever or 4 10s whatever 4 10 dude. I would I promise you I would rather work longer 347 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,720 less days didn't have to work like 348 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,720 Longer throughout the week. So um, because really and truly that hour free time 349 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,520 I mean, you're not gonna feel it. You're not gonna feel it 350 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:06,200 But you feel the extra day off. I'll tell you that much and so the I feel the same way 351 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,040 Um, bro, I had a 4 10 schedule. That was the best schedule 352 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:13,080 I ever had in my entire life and especially because my 353 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,960 Two of my days like one day off was a weekend day and then the other two were weekdays 354 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,080 I don't know why bro. Like I hated working weekends 355 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:27,720 But back in those days I used to love being off weekdays because nobody else was on this is of course pre covid when 356 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,960 Now everybody's out and about no matter what day it is. It's like back in the day 357 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,840 It's like if you had a weekday off. It's like ain't nobody out. Are you gonna be the only one? 358 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:43,800 Pretty much everywhere. It's great. Exactly. If I could work Thursday Friday Saturday or have Friday Saturday sunday up 359 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,320 dude 360 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320 Yeah, game changer 361 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,960 Absolutely. I'm there with you man. I'm there with you. Well, deal. All right. I have another question 362 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:58,840 It's also a would you rather would because I know you would not want to go back and relive elementary school 363 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:05,240 Would you rather relive middle school or relive high school? That's that's hard 364 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,480 I really didn't like either one of them 365 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,680 either, but I know this sounds dumb 366 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,800 The only really thing that I'm like, yeah, it's 367 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,640 probably for the football aspect of it and 368 00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:24,680 Probably middle school and that was because I was bigger than everybody else by like double. So it made it 369 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:33,400 Uh, it was fun playing football and then it was also interesting getting yelled at by parents on the other side saying show us his birth certificate 370 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,000 He's a grown man 371 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:35,960 kind of stuff 372 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,920 so 373 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,520 Like back then that used to like embarrass me, but you know, of course if I if you go back with your mind's eye now 374 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,120 I would just that stuff is funny. It's like, I don't know why that stuff would just be funny is messed to me now 375 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,400 I think I would do middle school because again high school was kind of 376 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,320 High school was rough for me. Like it it just really was 377 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,600 um 378 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,120 a rough time 379 00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:02,520 Um, but I think middle school because you still don't have that many responsibilities now 380 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,600 It you know, it sucks that you can't drive 381 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,240 But I feel like middle school like you don't take anything too serious 382 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,280 like you're still trying to figure things out and like 383 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,800 Middle school wasn't horrible for me. I know I did bigger academically in middle school 384 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,520 Like I got better grades in middle school than I did in high school. Believe it or not. It was also better for that as well 385 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,960 All right, so this one's a little bit of a deep question here. What is a recent challenge that you faced? 386 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,440 Uh, that you wish you would have handled differently and what did you learn from it? 387 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,800 So is there a situation that you experienced here lately that you're like, man, I should have handled this a little differently 388 00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:43,160 Or learned a lesson differently from it. Probably I think it would just be 389 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,920 uh 390 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,920 Hang in I'm trying to think 391 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,920 Um 392 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,640 I think there were some things like in this this these past 393 00:27:54,680 --> 00:28:00,680 I don't know probably through the summer was kind of a transition period for me with with my old boss leaving and me taking the reins 394 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:07,960 And so I think there was a lot of things where I was like, hey, we should do this. We should do this. We should do this 395 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:14,440 Um, and I wish I would have like done that sooner because like it was kind of like, hey like 396 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560 I didn't have the power to do it. Um 397 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:24,040 So I think maybe just fighting harder for those things and being like, hey, this would this is a potential 398 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,840 Uh roadblock or this is going to be a potential problem. I was right about that like 399 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,200 Two years ago, but I wish I would have fought harder for it because I'm seeing the uh 400 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,840 repercussions of that now 401 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,120 um 402 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,360 But I don't know. I think I've I've learned to handle conflict 403 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,480 Like 404 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,760 somewhat better 405 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,520 I feel like I have because you know me I used to just pop off from the hip 406 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,520 Or I would just be passive aggressive and not deal with it all at all. And so I think I've found that balance 407 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,760 I would like to think I have but again, I don't always get it right 408 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,520 Um, and I I'll be the first one to admit to you. I don't always get it right 409 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:07,640 And of course now that you said that it you're gonna be tested about it. So, oh, please 410 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,760 Please not. I was tested yesterday. You already know I was tested and I don't want to get tested again 411 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,680 I get what you're saying. What about you? I'm gonna say by joke one first 412 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:22,520 Trust no one. No, I'm joking. No, it's I think for me. It's you know 413 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,960 Again, it's kind of what you were talking about earlier when you were talking about gift of discernment and kind of 414 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,760 Seeing what's around corners and trusting your gut 415 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,600 Like, you know, one of my biggest problems that I have is 416 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,560 The majority of time when my gut tells me something 417 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,200 Or this is what's coming down the pipeline or this is what's happening or prepared for this 418 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:48,200 It's for a good reason. Like there's never there's never been a time where it's like, oh, that didn't come, you know 419 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,600 that that wasn't 420 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,080 You know, you you prepared for that for nothing. Normally, that's not what happens and so 421 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:01,080 But there's too many times kind of like Chris is saying to where I push past and go. No, no, no 422 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:05,240 That can't be what's happening. That can't be what's happening and then I get to the moment 423 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,200 It's like I somewhat prepared but not all the way because I didn't 100% trust my gut, you know 424 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,400 And so I think for me there's there was a situation not too long ago or it's like my gut was telling me 425 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,560 Hey, this is what's going on and 426 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,840 um, I didn't exactly do it and 427 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,720 You know, I was kind of half in half out and what ended up happening is um 428 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,720 Pretty much 429 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:36,280 If you don't nip certain situations in the bud it festers a little bit and not like it's a big problem 430 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,280 But at the same time now I'm having to take care of an even bigger problem 431 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,200 Than before 432 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,440 Because it didn't stand up for certain things. You know what I mean? So it's 433 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,440 I think that's my biggest thing is trust your gut and when you see something coming down the pipe react 434 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:57,320 You know what you're talking about and even if I was wrong, you know, I should have just trusted my gut on it 435 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,360 but 436 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:04,040 I think that's the biggest thing and that's kind of a repeat one for me. I don't know. It's hard in life because 437 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,880 You know when your gut's screaming at you to do something 438 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,200 Um, but all the other signs are showing you other things, you know, it's it's a little tough to say. Yeah, let's do it 439 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,440 You know, it's like, uh 440 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,440 I don't know at least for me. It's my next question is there and again 441 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,200 You don't you don't have to work in the industry that they're working 442 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,920 But is there like a celebrity or just someone that you would either like 443 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,720 Think would be really cool to work for 444 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:37,480 Or to work with the one that I've always wanted and I think as good as mark cuban 445 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,200 I think he'd be cool to work with like I think he'd be cool 446 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,960 Like he'll make sure you get results and things like that 447 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:49,880 But at the same time, I think it's just demanding excellence out of people and I but I think you'd be a really cool guy and he seems 448 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,920 Pretty understanding about things like a lot of his world views a lot of his sports views 449 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,480 um are more common man than 450 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:04,920 A billionaires views, you know what I mean? So I think he'd be cool to work. I'm thinking I would like to work with cat 451 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,360 Williams 452 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,360 I think he would be great to work with 453 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,920 Yeah, I don't know.

Um, I think we've all played this game of 475 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,240 Kill screw mary is what we'll call it 476 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:50,440 Um, I I've come up with my own version of this. It's called closed casual and committed and it's talking about restaurants 477 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,440 So the first one obviously 478 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,200 The restaurant you would close the second one you would visit casually 479 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,520 So like I'm not eating there all the time, but I'd eat there sometimes and then committed 480 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,600 It's like I'm eating there every like pretty much all the time for the rest of my life 481 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,600 Ready and you know since you love to give me ones that like I hate 482 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,920 I'm giving you some that you hate burger king taco bell or windies 483 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:19,240 Burger king taco bell and windies.

I think that's the same for me 488 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,400 Um, except I would close taco bell. I think I would casual windies and I would commit it to burger king 489 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,880 I do burger king a little bit over windies, but burger king has gone downhill for sure 490 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:55,240 But I just I'm not a huge fan of windies either. So what's my next question or what's your next question for me? 491 00:34:55,240 --> 00:35:00,280 What's a story from your life that you love to tell like you like I could tell this story all the time 492 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,840 Oh god, uh, there's a lot of those. Well, I'm not blanking right now. I don't know 493 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,280 I feel like a lot of my stories come over up organically in conversation. Um 494 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,680 That's why it's hard 495 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:19,400 What about yourself? Do you have one up top of your head? You know, I always shared the uh, the sneaking into the movie story 496 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:25,160 Um, I shared the pepper pepper spray story. That was one that I was thinking about 497 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:30,040 I was like, I do share that one quite a bit. I share the xlex brownie story quite a bit 498 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:37,400 You know surprisingly enough as much as it's my favorite story. I don't share it that often the camping trip story 499 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,720 I don't really that is it, you know, this is why we're friends. That's exactly what I was thinking 500 00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:45,720 I was about to say that I don't share that story a lot, but that's actually one of my favorite stories 501 00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:51,160 I don't know why I like that one. It's it was fun. What what is I feel like there's got to be another one 502 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,160 That's like, yeah, oh, I like telling the graniteville story. Like that one's probably one of my 503 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,640 More I think that was more like a favorite not in a funny favorite 504 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:05,560 But more than an intriguing like what what was going on, you know, I mean like it still gives me that feeling of like 505 00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:10,680 What was going on even though we'll never we'll never know we'll never find out so next question here 506 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:18,040 Would you rather win 10 million dollars today and get it in a lump sum or have a guaranteed income of 100,000 507 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,360 dollars a year for the rest of your life? 508 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,400 um the smart thing would be is to get the guaranteed income of 100,000 dollars a year 509 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,200 for the rest of my life 510 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,440 But to be honest just with 511 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,760 Everything going on. I I just want 10 mil right now 512 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,360 So I'm taking the 10 mil well and for me 513 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,640 I'm as long as you get to keep your job and everything else 514 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,000 I would take the 10 mil, you know, go ahead and buy a house buy 515 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,800 Probably some new car you're like buy new cars stuff like that and try to stick the rest of the bank 516 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,000 And if you invest it well, right or you invest some of it well 517 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,640 Then I feel like you can get the rest of your income out of it for the rest of your life 518 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,880 Anyways, you know with the 10 million you wouldn't take a vacation though. Oh, yeah, I would I would take immediately like 519 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:09,720 Yeah, no, no, no, I would I would take that's what I was gonna take a good vacation like because the thing is if you have 10 million dollars 520 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,160 um 521 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,800 You know, I've never taken a 15 grand vacation 522 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,600 But guess what you can and 15 grand's a drop of a hat you have to be careful thinking like that 523 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,640 But if you do one, you know a really nice 15 grand 524 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,760 Could you imagine having 15 grand for a vacation like I'm gonna drop 15 20 grand on this next vacation 525 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,160 Well, then where are you gonna go on your vacation if you're spending that kind of money? What are you gonna do? 526 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,920 Shoot, I don't know man. You know what? I do know I'd go to Bora Bora 527 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:40,440 I'd go over to it to hit I've always wanted to go to Tahiti go out there in the middle of the ocean in the Pacific and 528 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,320 Fish for a few days. That's what I would do either take a very long cruise 529 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,880 I don't know if I could be at sea that long or I'm going to Orlando 530 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,480 Universal Studios and getting the top tier of everything 531 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,520 If I'm spending that much, you know, it's interesting 532 00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:01,560 It's like, oh, yeah, if we spent that much money, but truth be told with you know, just because 533 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,960 And I mean we could we could share it. We've both been pretty broke in our lives whether it's been 534 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:12,120 Children wise like when we were kids or even as adults. We've had our broke moments where we didn't have any money 535 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,160 And so for me, I don't know even if it's like, okay, you have 15 to 20 grand 536 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:23,160 Like I don't know if I would spin all that like what all would I spin that on maybe I'm more simple than that 537 00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:24,680 but it's like 538 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:30,040 Even because think about it even if you go eat fancy meals every day, which I would not want to do right? 539 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,440 Could you imagine Fogo like every day? I wouldn't want to do that like that would 540 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,000 I wouldn't want to like rich food like that that costs a lot of money to me 541 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,000 It's good, but not all the stinking time. And so I feel like 542 00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:47,800 I don't know. I don't feel like I would spend it all because I feel like I would be like man 543 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,520 What because what else would you do? I mean, yeah, I would go to like museums 544 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,240 But that's like 50 a person to get in right at most and just between me and you 545 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,200 I feel like I don't belong in those places anyway 546 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,840 Like those places like give me a good steakhouse 547 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,120 Maybe like kind of a nicer or like a 548 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:12,760 Like I'm going to the brazilian steakhouse, but that's that's about as high class as I'm getting like I'm sorry 549 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,480 No, it's no. I feel you and with the hotel too. Like I don't to me 550 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:22,440 I don't really care that much about how like I'm not going to stay in a flea bag motel 551 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:27,400 But I'm also not going to stay in a five-star hotel either like the hotel is not as 552 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,840 Because I'm like it's just a bed for me to sleep in I could be wrong now 553 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,760 If it's a resort like the place isn't all inclusive resort. That's different. It's different 554 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:41,160 But at the same time most hotels it doesn't matter what I mean, of course like you're talking about the flea bag motels 555 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:46,520 Uh are a little different, but really the mid-range to higher end hotels 556 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,400 It really just depends on the name like most of the time the rumor is exactly the same 557 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:56,120 You get the same bed. You get the same bathroom. You get the same setup everywhere you go 558 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:02,200 It's just what name is on the outside of the hotel depends on the price and location in town, right? 559 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,840 and so I don't know it's 560 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,960 That's a whole thing, but no I could I could definitely see that but I don't know 561 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,080 I've always wanted to go to fiji to do one of those 562 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:19,000 I don't know if you've seen in one of those floating tiki huts that like you you're over the water pretty much 563 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,520 And it is one of those a lot of those are all inclusive resorts to where they you know 564 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:27,640 Bring the food to you and stuff and you can just finish off your back porch and just hang out sounds great 565 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:33,400 But they're extremely expensive. It's like 10 grand for the week. It's it's like extremely expensive. So if you were to be 566 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,400 in 567 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,400 as a character in 568 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,640 A tv show like you don't have to be 569 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:44,520 Like one of the main characters or anything you just have to be in that world 570 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:50,680 Which tv show do you really want to be a like a part of for some reason my mind says family guy 571 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,040 I really don't know why but it's like I would like to be a character in like where would I fit in? 572 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,760 I have no clue, but then again, it's like where else would you be? It's like king of the hill 573 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,880 It's like well, you're already in there. It's bobby hill. It was you as a kid 574 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,640 I think we we've talked about this but you wouldn't want to be part of the office world 575 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,400 Just be an extra like in the office now. Let me ask you this 576 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,000 We're gonna I'll match your question with the question 577 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,600 Yes, as long as it's like 578 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,840 The consequences aren't real right like as but if it's like, okay 579 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,720 Say michael doesn't get in trouble say these other people don't get in trouble 580 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,560 But maybe like you're the one that's potentially getting downsized or maybe their actions are screwing with you 581 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,400 I would not enjoy that. You know what I mean? Like that's not something I would enjoy 582 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:44,920 But if it's like all fun loving like it is on the show and like, you know, yeah, it's being downsized 583 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,040 But you know, it's not the full cast and like 584 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,720 You know, whatever and you're not getting in trouble for their buffoonery then. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah 585 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,040 I remember a couple episodes ago 586 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:02,920 We asked the question if you could be in any fictional world what fictional world would you want to be in? 587 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,840 And I totally thought about this and I think I changed my answer 588 00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:12,440 But I think I would want to be in the red dead world like with Arthur Morgan and all that stuff 589 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,600 Like I I think I'd be okay being Arthur Morgan. Like yeah, I'm gonna die 590 00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:21,640 But like and I have to deal with idiots, but I wouldn't mind being in that world 591 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,680 Yeah, are you talking more the aspect to be able to go camp hunt fish? 592 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:29,400 like gamble 593 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,000 I don't know kind of do all that open world like 594 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:40,280 You have money no responsibility kind of feel to it. You mean? Yeah, I think I just want to be like Arthur Morgan's best friend 595 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:42,440 but 596 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:47,960 Like yeah, I know he's gonna die, but I don't want to have to deal with the idiots in the gang 597 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,080 I don't want to have to deal with dutch bill all of those guys 598 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,960 But I do want to just hang out with Arthur and like we'll be buddies like 599 00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,600 Causing trouble in the other towns. Yeah going to Valentine and shooting 600 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,200 like 601 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,880 Also, if it was a red dead world where you can shoot up the place and then get shot 602 00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:11,080 And then you can come back to life and it actually doesn't matter because the shopkeepers come back to life too and everything 603 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:17,560 It's just screwing around. Yeah, absolutely. All right. So you're ready for the next one closed casual and committed 604 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:25,640 Now these are places. I know that you you like or I know that you are pretty pretty decent on Texas Roadhouse 605 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:34,200 Cracker barrel a red Robin. So who you gonna close casual or commit to it's a cracker barrel the one here. Love it 606 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,640 No, it doesn't have to be it's a it's a good one say it's the one on i20 in 607 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:46,200 Augusta the one that was you said Texas Roadhouse red Robin. Oh, I'm closing cracker barrel 608 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,600 unfortunately casually committing 609 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:54,040 Casually going to red Robin and committing to Texas Road out Texas Roadhouse. Yeah 610 00:43:54,600 --> 00:44:00,200 I figured that was going to be the answer but see I would probably I'd probably do the same except I'd flip it 611 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:07,400 I'd probably casual Texas Roadhouse and I would do red Robin as my as my committed you. Oh you you like red Robin that much 612 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:12,440 Yeah, I like red Robin a good bit. They I mean they make a pretty dang good burger 613 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,800 I'll say that now. Is it one of those things to where it's like? 614 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,200 So, you know me I don't go out too much anymore 615 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:25,480 But they are one of the few like sit-down restaurants that I do go to 616 00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,720 Quite regularly. I would say it's on my high end. Mine is kind of weird 617 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,760 Is there a superhero? 618 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:39,720 In the whatever DC mark whatever is there a superhero that you just like I don't like this 619 00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:45,880 This guy or girl. I just I don't get it. I have beef with this with this hero captain Marvel 620 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:53,480 Like who the hell is that that's Shazam dog Shazam. Oh captain marvel the girl or like the or the guy 621 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:58,680 No, like the the guy like the guy. Yeah, I think that's Shazam with the white uniform 622 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,240 You know I'm talking about let me let me research this 623 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,520 Marvel and Shazam the same. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah 624 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:09,320 No, no, they're different. Sorry my bad. Yeah, I didn't know who captain marvel was 625 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,160 Who the heck is that guy? 626 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,800 That's what I'm saying. Who is this guy and the only reason that I say that is and it all goes back to 627 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:22,360 Mortal Kombat versus DC universe. He was in that game and he sucked like he was like the worst character on there captain marvel 628 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:27,480 And still to this day. I'm like, who is that guy? Like it's like, who the heck is that guy? 629 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:31,480 You know who might surprise you ask me who my favorite superhero is 630 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,920 Is and always has who is your super favorite superhero? 631 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,000 My favorite superhero is the flash 632 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:43,080 Believe it or not. Why why the flash though? I don't know when I was a kid. I watched cartoon like I used to watch 633 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,400 justice league like the cartoon that would come on 634 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,560 and 635 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,800 I don't know why flash was always my favorite character 636 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,360 But it was mainly just because it's like man 637 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,240 Wouldn't it be cool to have the ability to be able to run like all around the world in an instant? 638 00:45:59,240 --> 00:46:02,200 Pretty much or like run wherever you wanted in an instant 639 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:07,960 Um, and of course being the little kid that was really into football. I was like, could you imagine being the flash and playing football? 640 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,000 And I don't know like that's the whole reason I like the flash 641 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:17,080 And now that I got older it's like, I mean, he's okay 642 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:24,920 But I guess he's still technically my favorite superhero because I don't really have a so would you rather be able to speak every language? 643 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,560 Fluently select every language in the world fluently or be able to communicate with animals 644 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:35,800 That's a hard one probably to speak every language in the world fluently. You know me bro like like 645 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,600 animals, I ain't about animals like that 646 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,640 And you know what we talking animals like that.

What is like the funniest moment or maybe memory that you have that we have had as friends 653 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:19,400 I don't know why and this is again. This is like the one that pops off the top of my head and nobody no 654 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:21,160 No 655 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,160 Listener is gonna understand what I'm saying 656 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,960 But when we were sitting in Jackson, Mississippi at that catfish restaurant and you did the Rick impression 657 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,520 Like I don't know why that was so funny 658 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:37,160 Like that was a I did an impression of a guy that we used to know and what's bad is he kind of had a lazy guy 659 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,400 And I did he did it perfect 660 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,640 Perfect and it was a one and done 661 00:47:41,720 --> 00:47:46,200 I don't think I could ever do the impression of that guy ever again, but I guess I just hit it 662 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,840 Right, he looked he looked just like him and it was just one of those impressions 663 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:56,520 Sometimes you could hit impressions just dead on and then sometimes nah, man.

It's one of the funniest moments. I don't know 667 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,280 I also think about um, we've had we've had some funny moments on some camping trips 668 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,040 That's why I love about camping too is like sitting around the fire and then 669 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:17,880 That's where some of our funniest crap be coming out where we would just be talking mess and I don't know 670 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,080 Some of that stuff is funny. Oh, yeah, just making jokes 671 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,480 About things and yeah, I was thinking about that.

He's like, hey, how are you doing brother? 679 00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:57,640 And I fell out of my chair like laughing really really really hard. Um, and then 680 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,440 also probably too 681 00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,840 This one was more recent when I came 682 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:09,240 Uh down to visit me and my wife did uh in march and we took the microphone and we hooked it up 683 00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:16,600 To the preaching cords and we just started giving each other random topics to preach about and there was just some funny jokes 684 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,920 All I'm telling you this this man was talking we we did one about dog food 685 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,080 And he was like the alpo the kibbles and bits this man was 686 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:33,160 Oh, man, it was it was great. Uh, just like we do on the improv segment. We were doing that in real life. Um, just just to each other and so 687 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,160 anyways 688 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:40,120 Where does where does me impersonating your dad fall in the rankings there? Oh, yeah, I forgot about that 689 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:45,400 That was that's probably in top five for sure. I almost killed him with that one like my joke almost killed 690 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:51,800 I did an impersonation of his dad. Uh, we we saw his dad on the highway and uh, his dad was um 691 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,360 quite grumpy after work 692 00:49:54,360 --> 00:50:00,840 And he like merged two lanes to get off the highway once he saw us and so I did an impression of him and um 693 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:05,400 This was in our nostriking days and chris had just taken a sip for some reason 694 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,680 I'm really good at telling jokes right when people take a sip like that has not changed. I still do that all the time 695 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,760 I don't understand why and 696 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,160 Bro, he almost I think you had to pull over didn't you because you almost choke 697 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:23,720 How do you think our friendship has shaped your approach to other relationships in your life? Oh, man 698 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,200 That's kind of a hard question. Uh 699 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:33,720 I don't I I guess maybe it's like the litmus test like hey, is this person really my friend or does this person like 700 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,120 are they just trying to like 701 00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:42,360 Use me. I don't know like our friendship has just taught me like what a true friend is 702 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:48,680 Um, and so I think when I'm like, oh, yeah, this person just wanted something or 703 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,480 you know, even 704 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:56,680 Like going back to when like you helped me through the divorce and everything like hey 705 00:50:56,920 --> 00:51:03,640 You would point out hey, this isn't normal behaviors in someone that says they care about you and so like it helped me kind of 706 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,800 Like spot gaslighting pretty quick. Uh 707 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,040 Not saying that micah gaslighted me, but he helped me through 708 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,760 That time and we both have 709 00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,880 Gone through similar instances with people that have gaslighted us 710 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:23,560 So then like it helps me recognize it a little bit easier, but I don't know you just kind of say hey like 711 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:28,840 Does this person really care about you or is this person like what is a true friend? 712 00:51:29,240 --> 00:51:34,440 um, and so like having a friendship with micah you definitely can say that's like uh 713 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,320 Like a true true friend 714 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,960 Um, and so that helps me with other friendships. I think it's definitely so 715 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,320 Let's be real. I was not a very nice person 716 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,960 Um when we first became friends, right? Like I didn't have a filter 717 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,960 Whatever was on the top of my mind. I said and not just that but 718 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:59,800 I was not very fair like I was very judgmental. I was also very 719 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,360 Um, I didn't understand people's positions. I didn't have a lot of compassion for people 720 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:09,720 And I feel like a lot of those things helped me or you helped me change a lot of those things 721 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,200 Uh, especially early on 722 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:18,840 You know kind of how you alluded to being sensitive as a as a kid. Yeah, you were a little bit 723 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,480 But what that helped me was is because 724 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,200 I hurt your feelings 725 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,080 Quite a few times, right? But it showed me 726 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,680 Okay, how to have compassion for people and it helped 727 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,560 You know by us talking through it and things like that it helped me understand. Hey 728 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:41,720 This is why this hurts people and maybe what I'm saying is it you know, I think it's okay 729 00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,440 But maybe it's not okay to them, right? 730 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:49,560 And I feel like a lot of those things if I didn't have you through a lot of those earlier times 731 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:54,840 Man, I probably would have been a jerk for quite a while if we're if we're being real 732 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:56,680 so 733 00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,680 It's like there was a lot of things I could definitely say that it was like 734 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,320 there was a lot of things 735 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,400 Um having compassion for other people or really feeling for other people 736 00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:14,920 You know like feeling what other people are going through because even though we would talk mess about some situations and things like that 737 00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:17,240 a lot of times 738 00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:19,640 Again, would you be an accountable even when you were a kid? 739 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:25,400 You were like that if I would say something that was maybe out of pocket or something that wasn't very that wasn't true 740 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:31,080 Or maybe wasn't fair of a person or like man, they're going through something and you're talking mess 741 00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,360 You would tell me you'd be like man, that's funny, but that's messed up 742 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:41,320 Like they're they're going through some stuff and you shouldn't be saying stuff like that is like I get what you're saying, but you know 743 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,920 It's not like that and I don't know that stuff helped me out a lot.

Like you'd make it fall into line like it should or at least in best best practice 801 00:57:55,960 --> 00:58:01,480 That's a massive problem though. I don't think I could solve that one. Oh, it's massive and it would be a lot 802 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:02,920 but I you know 803 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:03,960 Even if you didn't solve it 804 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:08,600 I think you could contribute to the success of it and I'm not saying like quit your job and do that 805 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,760 But I don't know why but whenever 806 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,720 in my mind that's 807 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:19,320 I think one of the areas you could do really well at and you know also having the background of a children's past a role 808 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,960 um, I mean that's 809 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,680 You already have a background in early childhood education 810 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:31,560 In that facet already, you know what I mean? So it's it's easily translatable. I feel like all right last question 811 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:38,920 I don't know if there is one, but is there a milestone that we've achieved together that you're like proud of? 812 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:40,920 or 813 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:45,160 I don't I'm trying to think about like milestones that we've like neither one of us have like 814 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:51,560 We didn't do like the traditional for your graduate college to me. It's this podcast like I know I know 815 00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:54,520 That sounds cheesy, but man, it's like 816 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:59,240 How many other people do you know in your life right now who? 817 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:01,240 um 818 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:06,760 Are on season three episode 30 we're on 39 right or 40 and so 819 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:13,080 How many people do you know that we're pushing four seasons right how many how many people and we've 820 00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:18,600 Done it consistently each week for all those weeks over 150, you know 821 00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,400 So or getting close to 150 822 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:29,320 Weeks in a row so to me that's a big accomplishment. That's a big accomplishment and milestones. Yeah, I would say the podcast is a bit 823 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,320 Yeah, I would say probably even just like our friendship together 824 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:39,720 How it's weathered the storm I would probably say also too the fact that both of us are doing 825 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,960 Uh decent I I mean we we both have pretty 826 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:50,360 decent jobs and we're married to wonderful women and you know, we're we're 827 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:54,280 We're doing all right like we're making it, you know, and we're uh, 828 00:59:54,280 --> 01:00:02,120 We're living, you know, I wouldn't say well off but again, we're all of our bills are paid and 829 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,120 Needs are met. I don't know. I feel like we're progressing through life 830 01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:08,600 pretty well 831 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:12,440 Or at least as well as we can. Um, so I think that is what I'm proud of 832 01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,480 Uh, just the fact of hey like 833 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:22,040 We've we made it, you know, I think if 16 year old us would see ourselves now 834 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:26,840 I think they would be proud uh just kind of of how we've grown and how we have 835 01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:32,600 Adapted and even just to because you know, you always have those people you look at and be like, oh, yeah 836 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:37,560 You're stuck in the 80s or you're stuck in the 90s and there's part of me that's like, oh, yeah 837 01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:41,000 Like I'm nostalgic for the early 2000s like I missed that time 838 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:48,600 But I feel like we've adapted and tried to you know, stay current and we're not like looking back at the past 839 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,120 We're constantly focusing on the now and looking ahead to the future 840 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,960 What we're really trying to do is we trying to rain in because every era before us 841 01:00:56,040 --> 01:01:01,960 We've been before our time and been doing stuff that uh, nobody been thinking about doing and then all of a sudden it becomes a thing 842 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:02,760 10 years later 843 01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:06,840 It's like we trying to rain it in to where we right on the cutting edge, you know, I mean for sure 844 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,320 but I I will and I will say like 845 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:16,760 Thankfully, you know us moving to Texas.
