1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Hey man, it's been another week. Chris, I'm telling you, I feel very cringe about myself.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Why do you say that?

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:19,800
Man, so I dug into our old content. Like the content from 14 years ago, you know, the

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:27,800
Krispy Kreme show, that sort of thing. And you know, the emphasis of what made, or not

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:35,800
emphasis, or what am I looking for? The inspiration for where this show came from. I watched our

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,800
humble beginnings and boy, Chris, were we bad. We were really bad. That was not good.

7
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,800
I watched it the other day. I watched it probably about, I'd say maybe a month ago, if we were

8
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,800
very bad, like thinking as 16 year olds, we were like, oh yeah, this is awesome. But yeah,

9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,800
the show was just structured really bad. We were rambling. Our skit didn't make sense. It was just a

10
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:05,800
bunch of inside jokes between us that nobody got. And we wanted people to come tour.

11
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:12,800
Yeah, we wanted people to come to our quote unquote studio, which was my parents' house. So I don't know

12
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:18,800
what we were going to have them tour. If somebody actually, and the whole instruction was right on our

13
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Facebook wall, we are on Facebook. And that was a big deal at the time. We are on Facebook, right on

14
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,800
our wall for a chance to win. We were so upset that nobody wrote on our wall. But really and truly,

15
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,800
if somebody wrote on our wall, and we were like, yeah, you get to tour, what would we have taken them

16
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:42,800
to? Like, yeah, this is my kitchen where there's a fridge. This is my bedroom where I filmed this

17
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:49,800
behind this desk. Let's be honest. Let's just be honest. We just wanted girls to write on the

18
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,800
Facebook wall. If it would have been a dude, we would have been like, yeah, that's true. But I

19
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,800
could have seen it being like, if someone did write on our wall, it would have been a weirdo

20
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:09,800
like leather face. Yeah, you and I had the exact same thought on that. But yeah, speaking of,

21
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,800
yeah, you were talking about that. You were talking about that skit being all inside jokes. Yeah,

22
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,800
I'll be, I know we understood them at some point part of it. I didn't even understand. I was like,

23
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,800
I know that that was a joke between us at some point. But there was parts that I didn't even

24
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,800
understand. And then so we watched that video. And I showed this all to my wife's grandfather,

25
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,800
mainly just because it's a good cheap laugh. Let's be real. And then if you haven't seen them,

26
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,800
this is all on our YouTube page. I've shared this all in on the trash can network. So I'm going to

27
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,800
go ahead and plug that right now. But we have different playlist. One of them is MC Productions

28
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:55,800
old school. And it's got all these videos on there. But one of them, man, dude, you know, we did

29
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,800
all these cops videos where it's like mimicking the TV show cops. Those are actually, you know,

30
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,800
those are actually halfway decent. There was watching them, you know, I just remember how

31
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,800
long it took us to edit those. And we thought like, oh man, that was pretty good. But by today's

32
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,800
standards, like they're not great. But man, like they're not bad either. Yeah, I feel like they held

33
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:27,800
the test of time. Well, I'm Chris and I'm like, and this is the Dona box podcast. Speaking of

34
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:34,800
lasting the test of time, this Dona box podcast is lasted the test of time because we are on

35
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:42,800
officially episode 40 of season three. We only have 12 episodes left in this season. Can you believe it?

36
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,800
Yeah, 12 episodes left. And we're going to keep building this up. But season four here in 12 episodes,

37
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:55,800
we got something really big coming for you guys. Like this show is going to take on a whole new dimension.

38
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,800
It's going to be great. The one thing I have appreciated about the podcast, I feel like we have

39
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,800
started not only to find our groove, but I just love to see the evolution of it from where we first

40
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,800
started to where we are now and the things we've tried and the things we're like, oh, this worked out

41
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:17,800
really well. So let's keep that. And so I feel like each season we have added something new or a new

42
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,800
component. And I'm so excited for what we're going to add for season four. If you are a brand new

43
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,800
listener, welcome. If you're a returning listener, thank you for joining in and tuning in to us. And if you're

44
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,800
new, every donut is a different segment. And we'd like to always start the first segment with our old

45
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,800
fashion donut, which is a story from our past. Now, if you've been listening for any length of time,

46
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,800
you know that Mike and I used to work together at a Western War store called Bucarao. We have done

47
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,800
probably, I think, what is it? Eight now? Eight? I think this is what part eight? Yeah, it's kind of

48
00:04:51,800 --> 00:05:00,800
a party. Yeah. But at the same time, or sorry, on the same token, we have so many stories because we have met

49
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:07,800
so many interesting people. And so it wasn't enough that only have three episodes on Bucarao, but we keep

50
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,800
digging the well and keep finding stories. So, Micah, I'm going to let you kick off this segment. In this

51
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,800
segment, you know, some we've talked about the characters, some we've talked about some of the experiences.

52
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,800
We're going to kind of combine both of those. And, you know, it's not a free flow episode. We are back to our

53
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,800
regular schedule programming, but we might have some kind of free flow style questions in here. So, it's going to be

54
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:37,800
cool, man. So let's talk about this first person. So this guy was interesting, man. I'm trying to figure out

55
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:45,800
what to call him. T-Boring. That's what we can call him. No, we're going to call him Trent. Trent. Okay. Yeah.

56
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,800
Gotcha. I feel like that's a good name for him. That works. I was trying to figure out something clever with his

57
00:05:51,800 --> 00:06:01,800
last name, but that's not really working. Anyways, so old Trent, man. This dude was goofy. Like this dude was

58
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,800
goofy. Like beyond goofy, like I feel like there's got to be a bigger word than goofy to describe this man. Is there

59
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,800
another word you would describe him as? It was weird because he was goofy, but he was also kind of cool and

60
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,800
smooth when he needed to be. He was definitely a ladies man. I will give him that. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. And man, this

61
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,800
guy right here. So I wouldn't say that we all hung out in the same friend group, but I was friends with one of

62
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,800
his good friends as well. And so we would hang out sometimes. And Chris, I don't know if you were here on this

63
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:41,800
occasion. So I'm just digress. There was, we've talked about this before, but there was a point of Chris and I's

64
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,800
friendship to where, yeah, we weren't hanging out as much and we were kind of hanging out with some different

65
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:54,800
people. And so Chris has never been one. Understandably so. And he's now a man of the cloth, and he's always

66
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:02,800
hold very hard on a lot of these standards. But he's just not a drinker. Like he's just not any hasn't been. And I

67
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:10,800
was kind of going through my more party phase, I guess. And man, this guy, he was one of the, he was one of the

68
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:20,800
partiers, right? And so I remember being at one of our buddies house and we had this game, right? And basically,

69
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:30,800
you would slap each other either on the back of the head or like across the chest. And it would just be like

70
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,800
wrestling move style. Like that's what it was supposed to be. And do you remember this, Chris? Were you there?

71
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:42,800
Because some night I was not there for this. My boy Chris, I will say this, even though he wouldn't partake. A lot of

72
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,800
times he was still a great friend and he would be there to be by designated driver. So sometimes he would be

73
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:55,800
there, but not partake. So I just didn't know. But anyway, so in this particular occasion, he was not there. And I

74
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:09,800
remember this guy, he ended up going up to one of our very large friends, Mr. Bishop. And he ended up, and I mean,

75
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:16,800
Mr. Bishop's a big guy, big black guy, like huge, like he played football, right? Like, I mean, he was a big guy.

76
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:27,800
And I'll never forget, man, I didn't see exactly what happened. But this guy Trent, having a little bit too much to

77
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:36,800
drink, he decided to do this wrestling move off of this guy's porch. Like he did like a wrestling move on this

78
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:42,800
dude, Mr. Bishop, like right off the porch. And like it was kind of wrestling movie. Was it was like a stunner?

79
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,800
Something like, yeah, it was like a stunner. I don't remember, man, I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna have to ask this friend

80
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,800
group. And I know they're probably gonna listen to this episode and be like, man, how did you not remember? That night was

81
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:01,800
a little fuzzy for anyways. But anyways, so end up what happened was it was a cheap shot. Either way, it was a cheap

82
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:09,800
shot. And so I remember the rule was our buddy Adrian, he was shout out Adrian, you're listening. But he was like,

83
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,800
right, the only way to make it fair is he's able to get you back. And I think it was a chat. No, it was definitely a

84
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:23,800
chest shot that he was able to get back to him. And so I remember, dude, Mr. Bishop, he went back and just slapped him

85
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:33,800
across the chest. And I'm talking like it split his chest open. He started bleeding stuff. Like, he slapped him so

86
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:41,800
hard that that and man, it was it was such a crazy, like I've never seen somebody had their chest, like it wasn't

87
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:49,800
something to go to hospital over, but you could tell it hurt, like you could tell it really hurt. And but the kind of guy

88
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:56,800
he was Trent, he was still smiling and laughing that whole time, like even though he was in pay he was like one of those

89
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,800
goofy guys that still had a smile he could be in just a tremendous amount of pain but he's still be smiling

90
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:07,800
somehow. Like that's the whole point of that story was he had his chest split open and he's like, yeah, and it wasn't

91
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:13,800
just because he was, you know, feeling the alcohol. That's just how he was. And think about this. This was probably with

92
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:20,800
his shirt on the wrestlers that do that every week and they chop each other pretty good. They don't have a shirt on. So I

93
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:27,800
could imagine that probably hurt pretty good if it if he hit him so hard that his chest split open with still with the

94
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:35,800
shirt on. That's wild. Yeah, it was it was pretty nuts, man. And so had a few stories like that. And then like Chris said

95
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,800
man, why he was he was a ladies man, like I don't know how he did it, like what kind of charisma, what kind of

96
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:50,800
Riz as the kids would say nowadays, what what he had, I don't know. But it would be like, there was so many times where

97
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:58,800
we would come back to work and there would be a young lady a cashier or some sort. And they'd be acting real funny after

98
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:05,800
a Saturday night. And all Trent would be like, huh, yep, we went out last night. It was like, oh, yep. And bro, he made

99
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:13,800
his rounds to pretty much everybody at one point that place seemed like it probably just had to be the confidence though,

100
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,800
to be honest with you, it had to be the confidence. I don't but see the thing is what it's hard to say that the man

101
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:27,800
was like some people can walk through life. And I don't know if it's necessarily confidence, but they're just like, it's

102
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:34,800
that quiet. How do I put it? How do I put it? Like mysterious, quiet. Yeah, I guess. What it is. Yeah, I guess it's what it is.

103
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:42,800
It's like it's not a it's not a cocky confidence. But it's just like he's very comfortable with himself and didn't really

104
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,800
care about being anything other than himself, which is very good. But at the same time, it was just it was an interesting experience

105
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:55,800
always being around him, but he was a really fun guy to work with. Do you have any other fun stories with him? Yeah, I have a funny

106
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:07,800
story. So this is and you may not know this story, but so I went to Chatters this one time with with your parental unit.

107
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:16,800
And I just remember the waitress was like super into me like she was very into me and I had a girlfriend at the time, but we

108
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:25,800
were kind of like going through a rocky patch or whatever. And somehow that waitress like found me like on Facebook, right?

109
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:35,800
Like she found me on Facebook, added me. And then like I was going to like, like go out with her. But then but then I found out

110
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:42,800
like right when I was going to like ask her out, I found out that like Trent had gone out with her like a couple days prior.

111
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:49,800
And I was like, oh, okay. So the pet was all I said, yep. No, I'm good.

112
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:56,800
And we have in Trent's leftovers. What can I say? But no, it was it was pretty he was he was a really fun guy to work with.

113
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:03,800
Like some of those, you know, we've talked about so many characters in the previous episodes about the boot corral that made the

114
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:12,800
job hard and made it, you know, not very easy and not very pleasant. He was one of those guys to where it was it was always pretty

115
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:21,800
he was, you know, the goofy party animal guy. And you always got to have one of those around working wise to make it a fun time.

116
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,800
I do have another story about Trent.

117
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Real quick. So we talked about how like as we worked in the back room, like if we liked you, we would help you out. And so if a if a salesman was trying to make a really high dollar sale,

118
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:46,800
like some of the higher end boots, what they would do is they would keep one boot out on the floor and keep the matching boot in the back so it was to eliminate people stealing.

119
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:58,800
And so if you were trying to make a sale, you would have to go back to the back and find the match so that you could make that sale. Well, sometimes customers would are sorry, salesman would be fighting over their customers

120
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:06,800
and people would race to the back to try to find the match for the boot. And if we really liked you, we'd help you out. We tell you where it was.

121
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:20,800
But if we didn't like you, then we would just be like, Oh, yeah, I don't know. I've never seen it. Well, I remember this one time Trent and this other salesman that we really didn't like, like we're beefing and they were trying to get the matching one.

122
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:32,800
And Trent came back there and he was like, Where's the matching boot? Where is it? Help me. Help me. Help me. And we helped them real quick. And the other salesman came back in and he was like, Where's the matching one?

123
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:39,800
I said, Oh, I don't know, dude, you're going to have to go find it and we let him spend like a few minutes trying to find the match.

124
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Yeah, he looked and looked and looked. He's like, I think it's gone from the spot. And it's like, you know, Trevor was back or dang it.

125
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:54,800
I know, you know, Trent was back here just a few minutes ago. He's like, No, he wasn't. Yeah, he was. And then he stormed back out there.

126
00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:08,800
But I think we talked about that dude, the same dude that went back there, the baseball umpire guy. Anyways, um, yeah, I thought it was the crack head from was it cracky from it might have been cracky.

127
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:20,800
We've been I don't know. It was memory. If memory serves me correctly. I don't know. Anyways, um, okay, so now I'm going to switch it to more of questions here.

128
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:26,800
Who would you say the weirdest person you worked with at bootcrow?

129
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:34,800
Probably that person you just named the baseball umpire. He was one of the weird ones. He would just follow you.

130
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:42,800
And anytime you messed up, he would just look at you and say, Well, I'm still learning this guy did not pick up on social cues.

131
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:48,800
There was also another coworker that did not pick up on social cues that shall remain nameless.

132
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:58,800
I should laugh. I should laugh so hard. Who else was really weird? Oh, I'll tell you who was weird. I and they were really weird. I didn't like them.

133
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:06,800
And I know you didn't like them either. What should we call him? The guy that was basically like, Yeah, I don't have to work here.

134
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:15,800
Yeah, doing this to get extra. Yeah, he was customers bug guy. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Yeah, bug guy. Yeah.

135
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:24,800
He was definitely weird to work with and then uh and then saying Angela was kind of just a different character.

136
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,800
But definitely not the weirdest, I would say.

137
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,800
Man, so you didn't get to work with him. He worked very, very limited.

138
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:50,800
He was only maybe there for a few weeks, but I think the weirdest guy that I ever worked with and his name was he was really, really strange to the point where so he came from working at a store called Buckle that was like in the mall.

139
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:56,800
I know exactly who you're talking about. You know who I'm talking about? And so he was weird. Yeah, he was really weird.

140
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:13,800
And so for some reason he always wanted to talk to me like I don't know why he always wanted to talk to me. And the biggest thing that he would always talk to me about was how he had this girlfriend at Pepperdine University, which Pepperdine University is a really prestigious university in California,

141
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:27,800
like extremely, I think it's a private school too. But basically if you go to Pepperdine and she was supposed to be going to Pepperdine Law School, which is like an extremely big deal like that's it's an really good school.

142
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:36,800
And so that's that's a really big deal. But this guy was really strange to the point where you're like, I don't believe you have a girlfriend that's going to Pepperdine.

143
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:45,800
And so as time went on, you know, he oh yeah, you know, I've got this girlfriend, I got this girlfriend, I got this girlfriend.

144
00:17:45,800 --> 00:18:00,800
So one day, like I come in and the store opens and the store would open at 9am. And so come in, open the store. And this guy like doesn't show up.

145
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:09,800
He shows up late. And then when he does show up, like we couldn't find him, it was just the two salesmen in the morning and I just couldn't find him anywhere.

146
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:17,800
So I looked in the break room looked everywhere. So where all the boots are for sale, we call them the boot rows for obvious reasons.

147
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:29,800
He was sitting in the boot rows. Okay, so any workplace right if you're going to have a problem or if you're going to cry or if you're going to be mad, right, you take it to the break room or you take it to the back.

148
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:37,800
This guy was sitting in the boot rows. I mean, just sobbing, like I'm talking about just crying, crying, crying in front of everybody.

149
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:49,800
And so I was like, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's going on? And he's like, my girlfriend from Pepperdine broke up with me and all this other stuff and it was just this really, really weird.

150
00:18:49,800 --> 00:19:06,800
I don't know. It was just really odd. And then that same day, this girl comes in, or I shouldn't say girl, probably college age gal comes in and she gets like really weird once she sees this guy, Jordan.

151
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:15,800
And it's like, okay, what's going on with this and she was my customer. So I just asked her I said, Hey, what's going on? Do you know that guy? And she's like, Yeah, I know him.

152
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:23,800
And it's like, and he like stalks my friend. I was like, Oh, he does. It's like, yeah, she goes to Pepperdine and she's like in law school.

153
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:38,800
And I was like, Oh, really? And I was like, he was saying that she like, like she was his girlfriend and everything and like they were going to get engaged and he was like, No, he goes around telling everybody that but she doesn't want anything to do with him and like they've never dated.

154
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:56,800
I think I've never had anything to do with each other. And he's just like obsessed with her apparently. And it was like, Oh, okay, that's really, really weird. And then not just that this same dude would talk about like what he would go home and look up online.

155
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:11,800
I'll let you fill up filling the gaps there. And then I remember, you know, he was he didn't last very long, right? But I remember right before he left, I remember being in the manager's office and the manager gets a call.

156
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:26,800
And it was from him. And this guy was calling into work. And it was on speakerphone. I'll never forget. It was like, Yeah, I can't come in because I'm having a sneeze attack. And I remember the boss literally said a sneeze attack.

157
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:36,800
Like, what do you mean like a series of sneeze like, Yeah, I can't come in because I'm having a sneeze attack. It's like, What does that have to do with you not being able to come in for an eight hour shift?

158
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:43,800
It's like, Well, I can't stop sneezing. It's like, Well, we're having this conversation right now. He's like, Well, I can't come in because I'm having a sneezing attack.

159
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:57,800
It's just like, Okay, I mean, it was just the it was just the weirdest thing, man. That was the oddest guy I ever worked with. Something wasn't right in the head, I think personally, but it was just, just wild.

160
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:03,800
All right, let's let's do one more. And we will move on to the next segment. What would you say your worst customer experience was?

161
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:17,800
I don't really remember too many customer experiences just because I tried to block that part out of my life because it was not a good time for me as I've shared in previous episodes.

162
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:28,800
To be honest, I think it was just people giving you the run around. And I think I had to help one lady with like her kids getting some boots anytime you had to help kids with anything.

163
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Oh my goodness, like it was just a lot because you wouldn't get a lot out of the sale because kids boots weren't that expensive.

164
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:49,800
But the good news was you could usually sell them a belt or shirt or some pants. But remember them like trying things on and then being like, Oh no, we're not going to, you know, people just wasting your time really and truly.

165
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:57,800
I don't think I have a single like worse customer experience you are on the sales floor longer than I was. So you probably have a better story than I do.

166
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:15,800
The one that I have, I've got a few but the one that I have. So there was a dad and his son and they would come in sometimes and I didn't have especially a big problem until I learned how to crease hats.

167
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:23,800
And then I got the hat bar area and hats is my section as the salesman to clean up and things like that.

168
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:29,800
And so this father and son would come and the father was probably bid forties and the son was in his teens.

169
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:36,800
And I don't know which one was worse man the dad or the son and every single time they would come in.

170
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:47,800
What would happen is they would they would want you to take a open brimmed hat or an open uncreased hat.

171
00:22:47,800 --> 00:23:00,800
And you think about some of you might not have ever seen this but you think about a cowboy hat and it's got all the edges and you know, there are certain cuts different creases everything like that but an unshaped cowboy hat.

172
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:11,800
It literally just looks like a flat circle on the bottom right with a dome on the top it's just a big circular dome exactly just like a Quakers hat.

173
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:25,800
So basically, you know, some people like to buy those hats either pre molded to where it's already got the shape in it, or some people like to buy the open hat and then have somebody shape it to their speciality.

174
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:31,800
And what would always happen is these guys would come in.

175
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:37,800
They'd want their current hats cleaned pretty much what would happen every single time is you would try to clean their hats.

176
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:45,800
It wouldn't be up to their standards so they'd be like move out of the way move out of the way and then they would go back there and start doing it and start cleaning up on their own.

177
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:56,800
And the problem with that was there were so many times that they like use the wrong brushes they use the wrong whatever and all these things are for the employees to use for the customers.

178
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,800
But if you use the wrong brush or use something like that you have to throw that away.

179
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Now I'm getting yelled at by my boss because like how dare you let them use the wrong brushes like I don't know what you want me to do they said move out of the way they grab the brush and start brushing their hat.

180
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Like it's already kind of too late.

181
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:20,800
There'd be stuff like that but then there was several times where they would come in right before the summertime and say I want a straw hat in this open frame.

182
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:29,800
But what I'm going to do is I want to make like I want to make a design in the top and I want to do all this stuff right the problem with straw hats is.

183
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:39,800
However you crease it that first time that's how it's going to stay felt hats you can get it to you can get it you can manipulate them after it's done the first time.

184
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:46,800
If straw hats basically it's broken into place is what happens you break you break the straw into a shape.

185
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:56,800
And so bro I remember one time in particular these guys came in and I already had plenty of problems but him and his son both wanted brand new hats.

186
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:14,800
And we ended long story short we ended up going through three different straw hats that were $120 a piece because they couldn't they didn't know they didn't like they didn't know what style they wanted and they would change their mind up on the fly.

187
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:28,800
Bro I remember getting cussed out to because of that I remember like they're they wasted all these hats and then they're leaving because that very last hat that I creased they're like yeah we like that one it's like okay.

188
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,800
I walked around the store later.

189
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:38,800
They had like left it in the jeans and then they had told the manager that I did a horrible job and that they were never going to come back.

190
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:45,800
And then what happened was they came back a few days later and they were like oh and you screwed up our other hats too.

191
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:55,800
It was this bro is this whole thing so I ended up having to pay for all those hats that quote unquote I broke even though they're the ones that want to change this designs on the midway through.

192
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:16,800
And then I had to I had to pay out of my pocket replacement hats for them because they said that the hats that I clean which they cleaned with the wrong materials that I owed them for that so I end up having to pay like four or 500 bucks out of pocket because of that whole or deal.

193
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:27,800
And then they had the gall to come back and be like yeah we like that guy. He needs to help us and he wanted me they wanted me to help them the whole time I was like yeah I don't think so.

194
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,800
I don't think so buddy.

195
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:43,800
It was but they were always just extremely rude and I mean it was like I don't think that was the only time they cost me money I feel like there was another time to where they had me like break a hat or something and I had to pay money or some crap.

196
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:54,800
Like it was not good times I just I just know I could see both of their faces in my mind and if I saw them on the street I think I'd crossover to walk on the other side of the road.

197
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,800
I had stuff still ticks me off.

198
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:05,800
Anyways, well we are going to move into our next segment and this is a different segment we're going to kind of play a game.

199
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:14,800
The name of the game is Will it Bible. So if you've ever watched Good Mythical Morning you've seen Will it Hot Pocket. Will it Watermelon.

200
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:22,800
This is Will it Bible. Now I'm going to read some quotes and you have to tell me true or false. Is this in the Bible or not.

201
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:29,800
Okay because there are a lot of people who quote things that are not Bible and some people say things that are in the Bible.

202
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,800
So are you ready for this. Yeah let's do it.

203
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,800
All right true or false. God helps those who helps themselves.

204
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Is that actually in the Bible. No I don't believe it's actually in the Bible.

205
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:49,800
You would be correct that's actually from poor Richard's Almanac and it was famously quoted by Ben Franklin but somehow some way people think that's quote that as a Bible verse.

206
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:58,800
People think that. Yeah. Yeah I can see it. Well it's because it's it advocates you being selfish right so everybody would love to be selfish.

207
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:03,800
All right next one. The love of money is the root of all. That one is in the Bible. Yeah.

208
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,800
Yeah but what's often misquoted is people say that money is the root of all.

209
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,800
Which is not true. No it's it's the love of love. It's a love of love. Yeah.

210
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:19,800
All right next one. As a dog returns to its vomit so a fool returns to its foolishness.

211
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,800
That one's in there too. Yeah. Yes it is. That is improver.

212
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,800
All right next one. God will not give you more than you can handle.

213
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,800
No that one is in Corinthians isn't it. I believe that's in Corinthians.

214
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:38,800
It's actually false. The verse that it says is that God will not let you be tempted more than you can handle.

215
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:47,800
But a lot of people think God won't give you more than you can handle. So they often misquote that was I right about the Corinthians bit though for the other.

216
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:53,800
I don't know. I just know that one's not in the Bible but it's most quoted. OK misquoted. All right. OK. OK.

217
00:28:53,800 --> 00:29:04,800
A house divided against itself cannot stand. Yeah that one's in there. That one is in there and it was made more famous by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address.

218
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:14,800
And so people think Abraham Lincoln said it but it's also in the Bible. All right next one. This too shall pass. That one's not the Bible. No it's not.

219
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:20,800
It's actually a Persian adage. That's what I heard or something. Yeah it makes sense. Yeah it makes sense.

220
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:33,800
But a lot of people quote that as being a Bible verse. All right. Next one. Cleanliness is next to Godly. Now I've heard that one so many times but I don't believe that that is in the Bible.

221
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:43,800
It is not in the Bible. You are correct. It was made famous and a sermon by John Wesley but it's not in the Bible. What people like to quote that.

222
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:57,800
I've even heard too that it's been attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas as well that he also. I don't know. I don't know how true that one is. I've actually heard about that one. The cleanliness is next to Godliness and I don't know.

223
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:08,800
The only reason I know St. Thomas Aquinas is because of from the high school teams and from this. So anyways next. Throw your pearls before swine. That one is in there. Right. Yes it is.

224
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:17,800
That one is in there. Jesus was talking about when you try to witness to someone and they don't want to take it. Don't throw your pearls before swine. I use that one a lot.

225
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:28,800
All right. Next one. God works in mysterious way works in mysterious ways. I know. Now that one's not in the Bible man. I don't I don't think that one is in there is it.

226
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:39,800
It is not. You're correct. It's not in there. All right. Next one. We got three more here. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldier. That one is in there.

227
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:53,800
It is not. It is not. OK. That one is not in there. But a lot of people quote that as a Bible verse. All right. Two more. If you get tired running with men. How are you going to outrun the horses.

228
00:30:53,800 --> 00:31:09,800
I believe that one is in there. That one is in there. It's in Jeremiah. And last one. Charity begins at home. I believe that one's in there too. That is all. You did pretty good on those. Yeah. It's always funny when people are like that's in the Bible.

229
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:27,800
It's hard because I think what it is is there are because what is the Bible. A lot of it is bits of virtue that you want to pick up. Right. And I think that a lot of a lot of it is like virtuous quotes that sound like it could be in the Bible but aren't you know.

230
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:37,800
Because a lot of it again it's kind of confusing because you go that sounds like something I've kind of heard in the Bible before. And so we're going to move next into our donut hole.

231
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:55,800
We're going to play a little game and Michael you're going to love this. We're going to take it all the way back to Madden 2006. I'm going to ask you questions about Madden 2006 and see if off the top of your head. Yeah. If off the top of your head you can just.

232
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:12,800
Madden 2006. Yeah. Like rosters and overall ratings. Are we talking like rosters. Yes. Talking about. Now you'll have to think your brain is going to have to think of since Madden 2006. They're like those video games are like a car.

233
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:28,800
So you're going to think of the roster 2005. Oh man. Just quick question off the top of your head if you don't know. All right. Some choices. Which NFL team had the worst overall ranking in Madden 2000.

234
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:43,800
I'm going to go with the Detroit Lions. That is not correct. It's actually the San Francisco 49ers. The Detroit Lions had a 78 overall rating. San Francisco 49ers had a 67.

235
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:54,800
67. Good Lord. That's really bad. The Lions were actually ranked higher than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Well I guess they did have Joey Harrington. I'm trying to think about 2005. This is going to be a little tough.

236
00:32:54,800 --> 00:33:10,800
But I think the best player was the highest ranked player on the Chicago Bears. Chicago Bears. Was it Rex Grossman. I can tell you that much. You want me to give you some. Can you give me. Here. Give me a hit. What was what was his position.

237
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:25,800
Then you're going to get it. I'll give I'll give you some hints. Was it a Rex Grossman. Was it B Desmond Clark. Was it C Brian Erlacher or was it D Kyle Orr.

238
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:37,800
I'm going to say Brian Erlacher. You would be correct. Yeah. Good old Brian Erlacher. All baldy. You know I have his Ricky card and I've been waiting for him to get into the Hall of Fame. So hopefully it's worth.

239
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:53,800
Who was the running back for the Baltimore Raven. What was his name. That's the hard part is remembering people's names. What was his name. I can I can see him right now. Jamal Lewis Jamal Lewis.

240
00:33:53,800 --> 00:34:12,800
That's exactly correct. That's right. Awesome. Awesome. Jerry Blossom. OK. Who was the highest ranked NFL team in Madden 2000. I'm going to go with Indianapolis Colts. It's actually the Patriots. OK. That makes sense.

241
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:22,800
The New England Patriots. They had a 97 overall rating and then coming in second place was the Philadelphia Eagles. OK. Well I guess it makes sense for the year. Yeah. It makes sense for the year.

242
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:32,800
I guess it was because if it was yeah. OK. Because that would have been the year that they did that then the year before that would have been the Colts and the Bears and the Super OK.

243
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:47,800
Who was the highest overall ranked player on the Carolina Panthers. Was it Steve Smith Jake Delhommie Julius Peppers or Thomas Davis. I'm going to say Julius Peppers. That dude was really good.

244
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:57,800
That would be that would be you know that dude played until like think about this. This is Madden 2006. We're talking about that dude played probably until just a few years ago.

245
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:07,800
It was that's pretty wild. A couple more questions here. Who was the quarterback for the Detroit Lions. Oh Joey Harrington. Oh no. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.

246
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:23,800
If it's not Joey Harrington was John Kittner. Yes. It was John Kittner. OK. I was like if it wasn't Joey Harrington had to be John Kittner. All right. What's the next one. One of the top cornerbacks for the Baltimore Ravens.

247
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:38,800
2005. Was it the Angelo Hall. Was it Dion Sanders. Was it Terence McGee. Or was it Nathan Bash. You said for the Ravens. We're going to the choices one more time. I have to go back to them.

248
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:51,800
Was it the Angelo Hall. Dion Sanders. Terence McGee or Nathan Baster. I don't know that one. I guess Terence McGee. Maybe I forgot he played for them for that year.

249
00:35:51,800 --> 00:36:09,800
I guess. Who was the highest rookie. That was drafted. OK. Highest rookie that was drafted. Was it. So like they were the number one pick that year. Just overall ranking like as far as the score.

250
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:27,800
In 2006. Was it Braylon Edwards. Was it Keith Miller. Was it Jason Campbell. Or was it Cedric Vince. I'm going to go Cedric Vince. It was actually Braylon Edwards who was also tied with Ronnie Brown.

251
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:37,800
But they both shared a score of H5. And then neither one of them did a whole lot. So. All right. Two more questions for you. Just two more that are left.

252
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:58,800
All right. Who was the quarterback for the St. Louis Rams. For the Rams in 06. That was. Mark Bulkner. Yeah. Yes it was. Yes it was. All right. Last question. Who was the highest overall rated quarterback for men.

253
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:12,800
It's either got to be Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. I'm going to go with Peyton Manning. I believe I think Peyton Manning is probably at 99 that year. It is actually Peyton Manning. Yeah. He was at 99. You know who the second one was Tom Brady. Don't take cold pepper.

254
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:27,800
Wasn't he with the Vikings still. Yes he was. Good old Dante Cole pepper. Everybody forgets about that guy as much as the 2005 doing the Patriots fried your donuts that year.

255
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:42,800
What else fries your donuts because we're moving into that. Oh man. This time of year what really fries my don't. Well I this time every four years what really fries my donuts and I'm not going to go too much into politics.

256
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:57,800
But what really fries my donuts is the amount of sheeple that we have in this country in this great nation. Yes I said sheeple. There's a lot of sheep out there. A lot of people and there are some probably listening to this podcast right now.

257
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:11,800
You know they take things at face value. They don't validate their sources and both really drive me nuts. I don't know about you Chris industries like especially like the television media industry are very heavily bought.

258
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:22,800
Even though people know this right you can go to most people on the street and say hey if you watch Fox News you know they're probably going to be biased more and lean more conservatively.

259
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:36,800
People know this but they don't seem to care. They'll still take the information and spit it back out whether they believe it or not. And it's the same thing with there's all sorts of people out there and it goes way deeper.

260
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:48,800
You know some of these other sources yeah they spin it a certain type of way but at least it's verified news. Then you got a lot of other people who are out there spreading all this crap on Facebook and believing all this stuff.

261
00:38:48,800 --> 00:39:03,800
What bothers me about it is there's no thought of like does this make any sense. Does it really make sense that Barack Obama is coming back to run for president again and that he's going to make Flint Michigan the brand new home of his Muslim regime.

262
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:18,800
Does that make any sense to you. Like that that's my thing. No that doesn't make any sense to me. What exactly. But people will buy into this crap and people will spread this rhetoric and be like see I don't know what's going on.

263
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:37,800
And they will use it to say this is why we need this person in office. But the thing is don't you think that everything that's pointing these people in that direction is being spun that way on purpose and see the dumb part is you can talk to most people and they will have put this together right.

264
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:50,800
And they will believe these things. They'll go yeah yeah I know what you're talking about. Yeah yeah exactly it's biased and it's probably being put out there and it's probably fake but somehow some way these people still go along with it.

265
00:39:50,800 --> 00:40:02,800
I really don't understand it Christopher. Can you explain it to me. I think people really just want someone to root for it. And I think that's what it is. People love a good old fashioned rivalry.

266
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:16,800
And we talked about this the other night. And I can guarantee you what's happening in reality is that behind closed doors the Republicans and Democrats are laughing to each other about how much their money they're making off the American people.

267
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:31,800
It's that typical old like in WW or UFC when they have the press conference and they're about to like throw hands and you know none of it is real. You know they really don't hate each other because they're trying to make money is what they're trying to do to sell a fight.

268
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:44,800
And that's what I feel like the presidential campaign is they're going to try to talk the most crap. They're going to try to have the most like crazy malarkey going on so that they can distract the American people from what's really going on.

269
00:40:44,800 --> 00:41:00,800
And I friendly believe that you should be involved in your government and you should be involved and care about it. But I think the level that people take it to is like they they are feeding in and they are buying into what the media is putting out for both sides.

270
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:12,800
And I don't care how ever you feel about it whether you feel liberal or conservative like people who most of the time you that out and are like yeah see what the Democrats are doing or oh see what the Republicans are doing.

271
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:29,800
You're feeding into what they want you to feed into because really and truly it's like a like Coca Cola and Pepsi right like they're competing with each other and really and truly they want you to make you think there's multiple brands out there.

272
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:38,800
And really and truly it's just one or two people controlling the purse strings and they want to just get people to spend their money and spend their time and energy and all that stuff.

273
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:48,800
That's what makes these people in positions of power for so long because people are playing into the game that they're and then I mean that's exactly what you said.

274
00:41:48,800 --> 00:42:08,800
The vision and rivalry makes money like it makes extreme amounts of money and I mean it's a racket and I think the crazy thing to me is yeah the Republicans and the Dems are all sitting back and in you know having their drinks and go and look at what we're doing and stuff like that.

275
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:25,800
And but at the same time it's causing a real division like we're talking about like a real division and a lot of people and I don't know how true this is and I'm going to also give it a grain of salt because I'm getting older and I thought I'd never be the person to say something like this.

276
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:36,800
But I don't feel like at least whenever I was a kid or whenever I was growing up and seeing some of these other elections and seeing some of these other times I don't ever remember being so divided though.

277
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:52,800
Like I do remember there being some common ground and I remember the word bipartisanship coming up at least every now and then how many how many times you heard the word bipartisanship or bipartisan anything in the past five years six years eight years.

278
00:42:52,800 --> 00:43:00,800
I mean, I haven't heard anything bipartisan like the stuff they talk about bipartisan for the stuff they have to get done like oh yeah.

279
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:06,800
The government's going to shut down because we didn't make it you know I mean like so we have to work together they work real hard.

280
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:13,800
Oh yeah they have to it's like oh crap we were going to freaking shut down because we've neglected this too long.

281
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:28,800
So it's it's stuff like that man and then the crazy part is it's like most people don't know and most people aren't putting the time and it goes back to what Chris said it's very important that you pay attention what's going on government.

282
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,800
But what's extremely important and what a lot of people miss.

283
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,800
Yes, you can watch the national stuff and whatnot.

284
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,800
Take it with the grain of salt.

285
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:38,800
Look into it.

286
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:45,800
Formulate your own opinions right look at both sides of the aisle and try to find a middle ground that's one thing but to.

287
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,800
I think that is just.

288
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:58,800
I think it's heresy and I think it's really bad of how we don't promote our local and state governments.

289
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,800
That's the stuff that's important to you.

290
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,800
Those are the elections that really matter.

291
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,800
That's the stuff that is affecting your day to day life.

292
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,800
Most of the time who's president in the United States does it affect things.

293
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,800
Yeah, it does.

294
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:18,800
And you know there are things that happen but realistically it's your state and local governments that are you know the thing and so a lot of what people are fighting about are things that won't even cause change on their day to day basis.

295
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:19,800
Right.

296
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:35,800
So I think for me, you know, to sum it all up, it's just aggravating when people have formulate these opinions without a lot of basis and what they're doing is they're regurgitating what the media wants them to regurgitate.

297
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:41,800
It's causing a further divide and that divide is making all these people money.

298
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:48,800
But the people making money aren't realizing this divide is really going to screw us all in the end if it keeps going.

299
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:58,800
And so it's just frustrating because it's like if people would stop just following what people are saying and open their eyes, then we can all make our formulated opinions and guess what?

300
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,800
It probably wouldn't be a two-party system anymore.

301
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:05,800
Wait, I got just a little bit, just a couple of comments and one question.

302
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,800
I know this is a rabbit hole, but it's okay.

303
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:19,800
Now, I think to attribute to all that's going on, I think the 24 Hours News Network and the fact that social media and you get updates and it's constantly just in your face all the time.

304
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,800
I think that is attributed to it.

305
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:29,800
But my question is because to be honest with you and maybe it's just because I've deleted those people on Facebook and Instagram.

306
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:41,800
But do you feel like as a younger generation, we're seeing as much of that divide because to be honest, most of the squawking I hear comes from the older generations.

307
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:52,800
I feel like younger generations, yes, they like post and regurgitate all that stuff or sorry, the younger generations don't post and regurgitate as much of that stuff.

308
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,800
Yes, they care.

309
00:45:53,800 --> 00:46:01,800
And yes, they do post about their opinions and their political beliefs, but I feel like they're not as divisive, but I could be wrong.

310
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,800
I feel like it's the older generations.

311
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:04,800
Am I wrong?

312
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,800
Man, I think it's a mix.

313
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:12,800
I really think it's a mix because maybe the social media side of things.

314
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:22,800
And I think this is going further down the rabbit hole, but really Facebook, Instagram is more millennials post more on there.

315
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:29,800
I feel like Facebook is the older generation who are primarily talking or posting on Facebook period.

316
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,800
So there's that side of things.

317
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:38,800
And then I think our generation is pretty opinionated.

318
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:45,800
And I think that it is pretty divided because man, there's a lot of people that I know that are pro Kamala right now.

319
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:53,800
And then there's a lot of people that I know that are very pro Trump right now and there's doesn't seem to be a lot of common ground in between there.

320
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,800
But I would say that the older generations are a lot more vocal about that.

321
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:57,800
That's true.

322
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:07,800
I guess it's for me like I'm cool if you share your political beliefs, but when you start going into start reposting that stuff, that's like absolute nonsense, whether it's from either side.

323
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:13,800
Then I either mute you or I kind of delete you because I'm like, you know what, man?

324
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:21,800
I'm like, my my life is already got enough going on without adding that negativity and just all that like go do that somewhere else.

325
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,800
Well, and it goes further than it goes further than news.

326
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,800
A lot of it is hate spewing is what it is.

327
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,800
It's not really it's more than news.

328
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:34,800
It's more like just we not only not don't need this person in office, but they're a piece of crap.

329
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,800
And here's why.

330
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,800
And it's just like, oh man.

331
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,800
Yeah, pretty much.

332
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,800
And it's just like they don't have a place in our society.

333
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,800
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

334
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:56,800
It's just like they're just running for an office here and I'm not saying that, you know, I'm not saying that it's, you know, I'm not saying politicians are great by any stretch of the imagination, but at the same time, they're all human beings.

335
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,800
Right.

336
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:03,800
So well, on better news, we are going to end this on a lighter note.

337
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,800
We are going to move into our eclair.

338
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:11,800
So I'll go first. Mine is just simple this week. Just hang in there.

339
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,800
I know sometimes life throws curveballs at you, but just hang in there.

340
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:16,800
Hold on.

341
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,800
And the season that you're going through will not last forever.

342
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,800
I'm speaking to myself.

343
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,800
So please know I'm not preaching at you.

344
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:24,800
I'm preaching with you.

345
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:29,800
And so it's hard when you're going through the storms, but just hang on.

346
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:30,800
Just hold on.

347
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:31,800
Things will not be forever.

348
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,800
I don't know how long your rough season is going to last.

349
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,800
I pray that it lasts not that long, but if it is lasting a long time,

350
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,800
I promise it doesn't last forever and that there are better days are coming.

351
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,800
And Mama said there'll be days like this, but you got to just keep holding on.

352
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,800
Like I will be saying there'll be days like this, Mama said.

353
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:51,800
And I'll tell you this much.

354
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:57,800
There was a very cringe moment on one of the videos we were watching going back to the very first thing that we were talking about in this episode.

355
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:03,800
One of the videos I was watching, we did a reddition of moving on up to the east side.

356
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,800
That was kind of cringy.

357
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:12,800
Anyways, so my E-Clear for this week, it is never too late to start something.

358
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:19,800
And you know, so I do hang around the personal care home a little too often with the elderly people.

359
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:21,800
But you know what's very interesting?

360
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:26,800
One of the biggest things that I hear from them is, oh, I don't want to learn how to do that.

361
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,800
It's too late for me to do something like that.

362
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:34,800
What's, that's, you know, to me, I can understand where you're coming from.

363
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:39,800
I understand you're probably on the back end of your life to the point where you want to take a little senioritis, right?

364
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,800
As far as just like in high school, right?

365
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,800
It's like, man, I'm kind of, I've earned this.

366
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,800
I can just not learn how to do this and other people take care of it for me and that sort of thing.

367
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,800
I'm not really talking about a ton of that.

368
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,800
But at the same time, it's not just old people, man.

369
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,800
There's all sorts of, I've talked to middle-aged folks.

370
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:01,800
I've even talked to people our age and it's like, man, that's going to take me too long to learn that.

371
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:09,800
Or, oh, man, you know, a lot of, especially our generation going back to our generation and Gen Z or as I could say the same thing.

372
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,800
If it's not going to produce tangible results very quickly, it's dropped very fast.

373
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,800
A lot of times it's not given much of a chance.

374
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:24,800
And I just want to say it's never too late to start something and that those things are going to take time.

375
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:31,800
And so even though you might be sitting there, I don't know what age you are, right?

376
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:37,800
19, you could be 40, you could be 50, you could be 60, you could be in your 80s sitting there listening to me.

377
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,800
But at the same time, it's never too late to start something.

378
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,800
I mean, heck, I'm going to go to Colonel Sanders.

379
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,800
Colonel Sanders was what? 70 something before he started frying chicken?

380
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:48,800
And look at all KFC now.

381
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:49,800
So it's all good.

382
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:58,800
It's like just because you won't see the fruits of your labor doesn't mean that you won't create generational wealth or some sort of legacy for yourself, even in your later times, if that's where you're at.

383
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,800
So the thing is, it's never too late.

384
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:09,800
And, you know, a lot of people stay out of doing something because it's like, man, I should have started that a few years ago and it would have been here.

385
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:18,800
If I would have started it five years ago and I wanted to, man, it's never too late to start that because guess what, in five years, it'll be five years like you like you want it to be right now.

386
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:23,800
So, you know, either way, wherever you're at, it's never too late to start.

387
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:33,800
I saw a meme that said, you're worried about if you're 28, you start over at school, you're going to be 32 when you finish where you're going to end up being 32 anyway.

388
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,800
So you might as well, like, you know, so.

389
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,800
It's like, because if you don't, then you'll be 32 without schooling anyways.

390
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:47,800
So it's like, not saying school is everything, you know, but I'm just saying whatever your goal is out there.

391
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:53,800
Man, it's never too late to start it, but it's been a great episode.

392
00:51:53,800 --> 00:52:01,800
The trash can network at the trash can network over at on YouTube, on Facebook, the aviator society over on Instagram.

393
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,800
If you're into dust plane items, we love our aviation over there.

394
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,800
We also love our aviation and TV trash can or G is not TV trash can.

395
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:11,800
That's the website, man.

396
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:12,800
I'm trying to plug the website.

397
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:13,800
We haven't had the website.

398
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,800
I don't know how long I was going to say the trash can.

399
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,800
Society in the aviators network.

400
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:19,800
Just kidding.

401
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:20,800
Cross that reverse it.

402
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:21,800
Yeah, I know, right?

403
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:26,800
It's like all of a sudden our dyslexia starts coming through and starts mixing up names.

404
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:27,800
But yeah, man.

405
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,800
So at the aviators society at trash can network, we got plenty of good man.

406
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:41,800
If you want to see some of that funny content that I was talking about the beginning, you know, I cringe at it, but you you're more than welcome to to laugh at it.

407
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:42,800
It's it's all good stuff.

00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,800
Chris nice whole beginnings as content creators.

We got a whole bunch of content over there.
