1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,680
So Christopher, I'd like to walk down memory lane if we, if you would like here.

2
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,160
Oh, I love memory lane.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,080
So man, we kind of talked about this on the side.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,680
I don't think we've ever talked about this like on the podcast, but man, we

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,240
lived in a very interesting era and, you know, kids these days won't understand

6
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,480
and neither do, um, you know, some older generations than us, the millennials.

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,720
So I want to talk about the fun little times we had with online gaming, like

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,560
internet games, like I'm talking like the little flash player games.

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,320
You know, I'm talking about like the ones we used to kill.

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,040
Oh yeah.

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:45,160
Time at school with like you weren't supposed to, but so Chris, I was, I was

12
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:46,080
thinking about it today.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,080
Like, I don't know.

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,760
I don't know if you've ever had this happen.

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,000
You'd be sitting at work and I'm just like, name five different websites that

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,880
you used to play those stupid games on and here's the five that I came up with.

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,400
I know you know, game sloth.

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Uh, did you ever, did you ever play new grounds?

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Did you ever go on there?

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,320
No, I never played new grounds.

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,160
New grounds was kind of interesting because it was like, I don't know.

22
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,160
It was almost like SoundCloud before SoundCloud was there too.

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,040
So you had like all these like really bad rappers and stuff on there.

24
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:17,160
And then there was another one called funnylicious.

25
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:18,760
Did you ever go on that one?

26
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,680
No, I never played funnylicious.

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,800
And so what was funny is it was like we had to get really creative because

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,840
used to be you could just go on whatever website and it would be like, you know,

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,400
I remember there was like flash player games.com or whatever.

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,520
But then my school system got really, you know, kind of smart to the fact that, oh,

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,880
yeah, so they, anything that had games in the like website name, they took out.

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,680
And so you had to be really creative.

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,320
And that's where like new grounds and funnylicious came up.

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,360
And then, uh, then there was like mini clip.

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,160
I don't know if you ever played mini clip.

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,560
Oh yeah.

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,040
Mini clip was a big one.

38
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,280
Yeah.

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,920
And then there was FOG and we thought that was good because it was, it was called

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880
like full of games or something like that.

41
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,120
But it was like, they just called it FOG.

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,080
So like nobody knew what you were talking about.

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,760
But you know, I was thinking about some of the games that I played on there too.

44
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,920
The one that I played like a ton on there was a mini putt.

45
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,920
Do you ever play that like mini putt putt game on there?

46
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:16,520
Yes, I played that game.

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,280
I don't know why I played that so much.

48
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,080
And then like on game sloth, there was like Sonic the Hedgehog.

49
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,120
They actually had Sonic the Hedgehog on there.

50
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,360
I remember like playing like full Sonic thing.

51
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,880
The one I remember, you know this, there was Bush Shootout,

52
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,600
George W. Bush Shootout, and then there was George W. Bush Shootout too.

53
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,080
So you would play as George W. Bush in the first one.

54
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,520
It was the fact that, uh, the terrorists had infiltrated the Oval Office.

55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,160
And so you were behind your desk, like trying to shoot people with a shotgun.

56
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,720
And then if you got past a certain level, you get Cole and Powell as your ally.

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,360
And then in Bush Shootout too, you were with-

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,800
It was Condoleezza Rice.

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,720
It was Condoleezza Rice, but then it was also Queen Elizabeth.

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,840
Oh yeah, it was Queen Elizabeth.

61
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,960
I do remember that now.

62
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,560
That's like if you got onto the street.

63
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,600
I got that.

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:04,640
It was like Queen Elizabeth.

65
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:05,280
That's crazy.

66
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Uh, and then the one that I also remember too was there was Driver's Ed and Driver's Ed too.

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,560
I remember I was like, I can't pick the very attractive driving instructor.

68
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,280
Do you remember that?

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,480
Yeah, Jessica.

70
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,120
Jessica.

71
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,640
Jessica was like the really attractive one.

72
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,360
There was like all the rest of them were like old ugly dudes.

73
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,960
And then there's like this really, no, I think there was like one old ugly lady too,

74
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,040
but it was like all the ugly people.

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,280
And then there was like this really attractive driver.

76
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,800
And that's who I always pick, bro.

77
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,000
You know what's wild about the end of that game, dude?

78
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,880
They literally gave 15% discounts to like Driver's Ed with like codes at the end of that.

79
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,160
If you passed it, you remember that?

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,360
That was kind of funny.

81
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Nice trip down memory lane.

82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:47,360
I'm Micah.

83
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,240
And I'm Chris.

84
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,240
And this is the Donut Box podcast.

85
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,920
It's another week, bro.

86
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,880
Another great week.

87
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,840
And guess what?

88
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,760
It's a spooky season.

89
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,840
Ooh, Halloween's this week.

90
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,160
Yeah.

91
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,360
You know what I'm going to do?

92
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,920
I'm the guy, I'm going to turn down my shades and I'm not going to answer my door.

93
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,000
But then again, I live in an apartment complex.

94
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,520
So it normally works out for me.

95
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,240
I don't know.

96
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Are you having to do something?

97
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,400
I bet you're, I bet you're having to do some sort of party or something.

98
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,160
No, I will actually be traveling towards your neck of the woods on that day.

99
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Hey, that works.

100
00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:20,480
But anyways, yeah, glad to have everybody there.

101
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,840
And happy Halloween to all of you who celebrate it.

102
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:25,600
We got an excellent episode today.

103
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560
And man, are you ready to get right into it?

104
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,360
Let's hop in.

105
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,560
We got the old fashioned Donut, which is a story from our past.

106
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,160
So we've kind of talked about this in talking about other stories and things like that.

107
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,040
But we used to, we went through this course and then we helped out with this course for a long time.

108
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,040
It was called Financial Peace University.

109
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,160
It was run by this man named Dave Ramsey.

110
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,440
I don't know if his full name is David, but David Ramsey, I don't know.

111
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,440
Anyways, he, you know, preached about being debt free and all this other stuff.

112
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,160
And Chris, I'm going to tell, I'm going to have you tell about your experience a little bit.

113
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,040
Then I'll go into mine.

114
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:13,200
Yeah. So Dave Ramsey does this, does this program called Financial Peace University.

115
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,160
And it's very widely used by churches and it's still used by some churches today.

116
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:24,560
And it's about how to get out of debt, how to live like a debt free life and all that good stuff.

117
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,840
And so I think I remember going through the junior version of it.

118
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:35,360
And it was really talking about how to save, how to spend just different practices for high school.

119
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,160
But the crazy part about it is when I went through it, I had already had a job.

120
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,000
And so I already knew about like saving, spending, all that good stuff because my dad

121
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,760
had went over that stuff with me.

122
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,440
But yeah, so I remember it was very highly encouraged to take.

123
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,240
And Micah's parental units actually became a teachers and facilitators of this course.

124
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,440
But Micah has a little bit more in depth story of how Financial Peace University really affected

125
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,880
his family. So, you know, I went through this thing.

126
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,120
I'm trying to think back.

127
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:15,280
I think it was like seven or eight times, like the regular course of it, mainly because I had to work it.

128
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:19,040
And so anytime you have to work with it, you have to go through the course.

129
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,680
And there's all these main principles and things like that.

130
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,400
But I'll tell you like fast forward a little bit.

131
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Like the class was interesting.

132
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,320
You know, it talked about, you know, how to handle your credit.

133
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,560
It even went into a lot of things with insurance and things like that.

134
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:49,840
But, you know, overall, it wasn't incredibly great because the knowledge that I had.

135
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:54,400
So I always went on the idea of, OK, I'm not going to have any debt because that's what

136
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,280
Dave Ramsey in this program has taught me to do.

137
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:01,840
And so after I got out on my own, it was kind of interesting because

138
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,000
so you kind of come to figure out, OK, you do need a credit score.

139
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,720
You do need a good one in order to do anything.

140
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Like basically I had a hard time getting my first apartment because I had no credit at all.

141
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,520
Like I had no credit score for the check and I never had a place on my own to live before.

142
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,040
So it was like, yeah, I had the income, but and not to mention like the income was like,

143
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:27,920
I just moved there.

144
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,000
So it was like a job that I just got to.

145
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,680
So it was all kind of whatever.

146
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,920
So I had to get like a guarantor because I had no credit.

147
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,000
And so at that point, I was like, you know, I should probably start building credit.

148
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:46,480
And I mean, it was even things like I rented a car at that time and they like pulled my credit score.

149
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,480
And they were like, oh, yeah, we can't rent you a car because you don't have a credit score.

150
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,680
Like it's crazy.

151
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,480
Like some sometimes, especially when you're beneath 25, like they'll do stuff like that.

152
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:02,560
And so my first idea because of this course and like not understanding what was going on,

153
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,000
I took out a credit card.

154
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,840
It had a $500 limit.

155
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:11,360
And I remember like I thought in order to prove your credit and like improve your credit score,

156
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,200
basically you max the card out, right?

157
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,920
And then you pay it off like all at once.

158
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:23,280
And so like you put, you know, $500 on it completely and then you pay it off completely.

159
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,320
And yeah, that didn't really, that wasn't working out.

160
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,440
And I was wondering about my credit started going down after a while.

161
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,800
It's because it's like, yeah, because you keep maxing it out and keep doing that.

162
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:41,440
But beyond the lessons that learned over there, man, it was like, it was almost,

163
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,840
it almost became culty in my household because like they started like quoting Dave Ramsey

164
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:53,280
and then all there was like this other guy who I don't think was he affiliated or was he like

165
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,920
along the same lines?

166
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,000
He was just kind of like a guest that he would have on every, every night.

167
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,600
And like, I think it was mainly just a front is booked, but there was another dude named John A.

168
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,960
Cuff and it was like, oh my gosh, it was like, that was all you, you, they want to talk about all

169
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,080
they want to do.

170
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,720
And like, don't get me wrong, being out of debt is great.

171
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,280
And like, if you can live that kind of life, but the thing was these principles,

172
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,960
yeah, they might have worked in the 90s, but now it's a lot different.

173
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,520
And so I think for me,

174
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,920
They don't, definitely don't work in 2024.

175
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,880
No, no.

176
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:32,400
And some of them do, but a lot of them will be like, hey, you just need to pay cash for a house

177
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,720
or you don't need any credit cards.

178
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,000
You don't need any credit.

179
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,680
You should pay cash for your car.

180
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,160
Like all that, that doesn't work.

181
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,840
Like part of the thing too, and part of the principles that they were teaching essentially

182
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:50,800
is like, if you're in a lot of debt, the best way to do it is like, okay, you stop paying some people,

183
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,880
you double up on your biggest debts and it's called the debt snowball.

184
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,240
Like you, you have the biggest ones and then you go all the way to the smallest.

185
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,080
But basically part of the principles are like, you call your creditors and say, hey,

186
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,520
you know, I'm not going to pay you this month or next month actually,

187
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,320
and you go and pay somebody else until you have the money enough to pay them off completely

188
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,360
or something like that.

189
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,920
That way you avoid the interest and all this other stuff.

190
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,640
But at the same time, like it ruins your credit.

191
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,600
And the whole point is it's like, well, you're not going to care about credit

192
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,800
because you're not going to be living for credit anyways, which just does not work.

193
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,000
I mean, again, it ruins your credit and then you basically have to build up for the next

194
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,920
few years in order to make that happen.

195
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,960
But so went through that program, went through it enough times to where like everything was

196
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,520
just kind of power lines when they would teach about it from then on in.

197
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:50,480
I think, you know, beyond all the craziness that happened there and kind of how it affected.

198
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,440
Well, I guess I can also go back to this too.

199
00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:02,080
So how my parental units got into it as well, they went through the program through another

200
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,120
church. So they like, they went to another church, they like went through it.

201
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,080
They really bit into it hard, as you can tell.

202
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:14,400
Like to the point where we had, I think two or three yard sales, something like that,

203
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,120
and like sold a ton of stuff, like majority of what we had.

204
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,440
And like the mantra that they had was like beans and rice, rice and beans.

205
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,120
Like that's all we're going to freaking eat.

206
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,400
And that's pretty much what happened.

207
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,400
Like it was rice and beans and rotel.

208
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,800
And like that's kind of how we lived there for a little bit.

209
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:40,960
And then there was another period in time where like during that course of time, like we kind of

210
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,560
not just sold everything, but we packed up the house.

211
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:49,040
I don't remember why I, it was like, okay, I think we're going to move to Texas or something.

212
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,080
I don't remember.

213
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,840
It was kind of a short period of time, but we packed everything up and we had things in boxes.

214
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,080
And, dude, do you remember that plastic camp?

215
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,120
Like, oh yeah, I remember that.

216
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,720
Like table and chairs, but it was like a picnic bench, but it like folded up.

217
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,000
It was like green.

218
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,200
You remember that one?

219
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:14,560
Dude, I remember like eating dinner on that for a little while, like while everything was packed up.

220
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:17,040
Like literally, like literally we had everything packed up.

221
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,080
We sold a bunch of stuff.

222
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:25,760
And then finally they get out of debt and or at least they said that I have no clue that actually happened or not,

223
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,640
but like end up getting out of debt.

224
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,360
And then after that, it's like, okay, now we're going to teach this course to other people.

225
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,120
And so it was, it was just kind of, I don't know.

226
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,480
And, you know, there was a lot of added things that Biparito units kind of added to it.

227
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Like, I don't know.

228
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,440
They had this whole thing where one of the biggest things that Dave Ramsey wanted you to do

229
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,960
was like cut up your credit cards.

230
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,440
Like once you like kind of making that pledge of like,

231
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,000
yeah, I'm not going to use the credit card anymore and like, you know, I'm getting out of debt with this card.

232
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,320
And so like, I remember they had these big scissors and like they would freaking cut these things up

233
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,640
and they would like have this music pumping and stuff.

234
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,200
Well, they would, they would make people come up to the front to cut up their credit card.

235
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,640
So it was a public spectacle.

236
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,120
Yeah, it was a public spectacle.

237
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,120
And I was kind of like, that's kind of culty a little bit.

238
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,240
Yeah, it all did have a pretty culty feel to it.

239
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,080
And pretty much you still meet, you know, not talking a mess on these people,

240
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:31,600
but like you still meet some Dave Ramsey people and like they still kind of hack like that culty of like,

241
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,000
oh, you're not a part of that or oh, you're not that free.

242
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,600
And they like judge you hard for it.

243
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:36,960
You know what I mean?

244
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,160
Like it's, it's pretty crazy, but I don't know, man.

245
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,800
That whole experience was interesting.

246
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,640
Now the fun parts of that experience going through it as many times as we did,

247
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Chris and I got to run sound for a lot of it.

248
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,800
And so basically what we would do is we would set it up the little videos

249
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,680
and we would let the video play and we knew when to come back in there to either,

250
00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:02,160
you know, hit pause and like play again when they had to do a little activity or whatever.

251
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,920
And we'd go play basketball.

252
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,040
We'd go play basketball.

253
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,920
We'd go shoot some hoops and then we'd come back and I,

254
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,120
we would end up chilling because it's just like, bro, we go here all this stuff all over again.

255
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:13,600
Yeah.

256
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,360
And at the end of the year, they had, they had this party.

257
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,200
And so they had food catered for it and somehow we didn't get food.

258
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,520
And we were like, so at the end of the end of the time, there was this one time,

259
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,480
I don't know whose idea it was, but Mike and I were like, well,

260
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,680
we're not getting food out of this.

261
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,080
So let's ask people if they'd like to donate some tips for our services.

262
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,160
So we went around to people were like, would you like to donate a tip to the tech team for,

263
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,680
for being with you guys since we're not going to get to get any food?

264
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,680
And we got in trouble for asking for, because people actually started giving us money.

265
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,320
They felt bad. No, they kind of, I remember this one lady, she kind of like,

266
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,520
she kind of made it this public.

267
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,160
Did she was like, y'all, everybody give them money because they've been here every single week helping.

268
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,560
And it was just like, okay.

269
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,600
And I remember, I remember my male parental unit come up there.

270
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,600
No, no, no, they're not taking any money.

271
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,080
And I'm just like, listen, we're already up to like 20 bucks.

272
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,880
Leave us alone.

273
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,320
We got this covered.

274
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,000
It's like all these people are out of debt.

275
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,640
They're happy.

276
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,520
They got a loose grip on their money right now.

277
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,680
It's like, we're trying to go get a taco 12 pack from Taco Bale.

278
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:25,440
Cause that was our freaking life's goal was like, hey, if we can go get some dinner and split six tacos and six tacos, like we'll be good.

279
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,520
My dad actually went through the program.

280
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:34,480
And I remember like, I don't remember how or when, but it was like later on,

281
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,040
it was probably when I was a junior or a senior.

282
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,120
I don't remember because we did this several times.

283
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,800
So it was probably a year.

284
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,680
And oh dude, we need to tell him about one of the class members.

285
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:52,880
I think, uh, I don't know if your male parental unit had something going on with her on the side, but every week.

286
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,880
After class, she would go up and talk to him and let's work with him for a long time, bro.

287
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,320
And the reason being is because he was my ride home.

288
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,240
Like most of the time that was like, I had to wait on them because they were like my ride home unless like Chris would like take me or whatever.

289
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,400
But at the same time he was going to his house, which was kind of, you know, in the opposite direction.

290
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,160
So it was like waiting on him, bro.

291
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:22,400
She would talk to him for like 30, 45 minutes, be like flirt and all this other stuff to the point where we gave her a nickname, teacher's pit.

292
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,960
And it was because bro, she would just go and talk about everything and she was like this freshly divorced lady too.

293
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,440
It's like, I got my theories.

294
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:39,040
And so, uh, yeah, if you're part of Dave Ramsey, like no shame in the game, no judgment at all.

295
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,240
But if you're hardcore into Dave Ramsey, like it's crazy.

296
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:50,800
And what the crazy thing now is like you watch him and he berates people like it's, it's almost, it's not like a, hey, this is hard.

297
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,200
And you, you need to hear some truth.

298
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:58,080
He straight up embarrasses people like he gets kicks and giggles out of berating people.

299
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,640
And from the stories that I've heard, he does that to his.

300
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,800
Yo, yeah, like he's had several lawsuits from his staff because like he demands of them different things.

301
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:15,600
Like, um, there was one lady that sued him because he fired her because she wasn't a godly enough woman to work there and all this other stuff.

302
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,240
And it was like all this really judgmental stuff.

303
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,920
One last thing on it too.

304
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:26,400
Um, so I was actually going to flight school and you know, I went into debt doing it and all this other stuff.

305
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:34,320
And beforehand, um, I actually called into a show because he's got a radio show and basically that's what happens.

306
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,760
People ask, you know, their financial situation like, Hey, here's what's going on.

307
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,880
How do I get out of this?

308
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,000
Or like, what do I do?

309
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:49,440
And so my main question was because at the time my mail parental unit was like, Oh yeah, we're not going to do your school with any sort of debt, but wouldn't help me pay for any of it.

310
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:56,800
So I was like, okay, how can I go to flight school without getting into some sort of student loan or debt situation?

311
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Right.

312
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,000
And so I remember calling his show and they vet everything.

313
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Like it's not like you just call in while he's on air and they go, yep, your next caller on whatever.

314
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,160
It's not like a sports cast, right?

315
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,520
I've done that before where you call in and they like, let you write on the show.

316
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:23,520
Now it's they like, vet you and so basically you leave a voicemail for them a one to two minute voicemail about what you're calling about, like what your situation is.

317
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:30,880
And basically they'll call you back if that's something that interests Dave to talk about or get into.

318
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:38,880
And so my whole thing was like, yeah, so it's going to cost me $65,000 in less than a year to go through flight school.

319
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,680
But like that's what I need to do in order to get to the career that I want to get into.

320
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,880
It's like, I don't know how, because I don't make $60,000 in a year.

321
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,480
And even if I did, you know, you have to pay bills and everything else.

322
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,440
So like, how can I do this without going into debt and like nobody ever called me back?

323
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840
Nobody ever called me back.

324
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,960
It's probably good that they didn't call you back.

325
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:11,680
But well, we are going to head into our next segment, which is the jelly donut and that's the jail report.

326
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,520
Who said private pile?

327
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,040
Sir, jelly donut, sir.

328
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,480
A jelly donut.

329
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:22,000
And Micah, we have actual jail reports on this segment.

330
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:27,920
I know it's been, I know we had some two weeks ago, but we actually have the jelly donut.

331
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,960
So I don't, what was it, was it Tyree Keele that got arrested before while he was on the way to the game?

332
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:33,600
Yeah, it was.

333
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,840
There was, well, there was him and there was somebody else too that was on Miami that got arrested, but mainly him.

334
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,160
Yeah.

335
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:46,240
So we have another famous athlete that got arrested while on the way to their sports event, but this was actually a PGA golfer.

336
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,760
Oh, you're talking about Scotty.

337
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,160
Yeah.

338
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:57,840
So, so for those that don't know, it was, this was in Louisville, Kentucky and Scotty Scheffler was arrested outside the golf club on the Friday.

339
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:05,200
Morning hours before his second round tee time, the incident stemmed from a misunderstanding of track traffic flow.

340
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:13,360
And early in the morning, a shuttle bus fatally struck a pedestrian outside of the golf course, leading police to stop traffic.

341
00:20:13,360 --> 00:20:17,520
So Scotty Scheffler was confused about the flow of traffic.

342
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,640
So he got pulled over and the police officer attempted to attach himself to Scheffler's car.

343
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,720
And Scheffler then stopped his vehicle at the entrance to the golf club.

344
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,160
The police officer then began to scream at Scheffler to get out of the car.

345
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,680
When Scheffler exited the vehicle, the officer shoved Scheffler against the car and immediately placed him in handcuffs.

346
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,720
And he was being detained in the back of the police car.

347
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:49,680
The police officer who made the arrest did not seem to know who Scheffler was, nor did they know like that there was other stuff going on.

348
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:57,600
And one officer asked the guy if he was Scheffler's manager or agent adding, there's nothing you can do. He's going to jail.

349
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:08,320
He gets arrested and then he gets out and after the misunderstanding and then goes to goes and places around the golf.

350
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,640
So I think he was pretty lighthearted about it. I know they made some jokes about it.

351
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,560
But what do you think of that? Do you think the police officer is right?

352
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,760
Do you think Scottie Scheffler was right? Like what do you think about that?

353
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,200
Well, there's another piece to it. I don't know if you've seen the body cam footage from the police officer.

354
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,160
The police officer was the police officer was being a jerk.

355
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,400
Like I I really understand where Scottie was coming from.

356
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,800
Like I think Scottie handled it pretty well actually because he was nice to the guy.

357
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,640
Like he was firm and saying like, Hey, this is who I am. This is what I'm trying to do.

358
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,000
But like at the same time, I don't know.

359
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,120
The cop was just being a jerk for no reason. Like he was kind of thrown his authority around.

360
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:57,280
And so that was the other thing. Apparently I think he knew he was going to get out and get out pretty quickly.

361
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:05,600
Because there's like video of him stretching in a cell pretty much like stretching out for his round of golf.

362
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,080
But I could you imagine that you know you're in a jail cell then a few hours later you're you're

363
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,920
teaing off in a professional golf outing. That's got to be kind of a crazy feeling.

364
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,600
Like I don't know. But no, I don't think Scottie was at fault.

365
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,640
I think that it was definitely the cop who was trying to throw their weight around for sure.

366
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,400
Yeah. And especially if there's a confusion with traffic flow, like sometimes you're like,

367
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,320
I'm not sure like where I'm supposed to go because sometimes they don't make it clear.

368
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,360
And so I get it. But yeah, if the guy was being a jerk, then he definitely should not have thrown

369
00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:44,240
his weight around like that. So next one. This and the rest of these are from our favorite state of

370
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:53,120
Florida. Thank you, Florida, for being so open about your arrest stories. So this guy was driving

371
00:22:53,760 --> 00:23:00,640
in Florida behind this guy named Mr. Sturgeon out of nowhere. Mr. Sturgeon stops in the middle of the

372
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,280
road. But here's the thing. This wasn't some Florida road rage situation at first. The driver

373
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:10,400
behind Mr. Sturgeon was actually being nice. He gave Sturgeon a compliment saying, yo, nice car,

374
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,760
bro. I really like your car. That's it. That's all the man did. Instead of just taking the compliment,

375
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:23,280
Mr. Sturgeon hopped out of his car and punched the other guy in the face. I watched the video footage

376
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,440
and it definitely looked like Royd rage because the guy who punched him in the face definitely

377
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:32,160
looked like he was on steroids. But like, could you imagine just giving a guy a compliment like,

378
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,320
hey, I really like your car and you get punched in the face for it? Yeah. So you said you watched

379
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,480
the video. It wasn't one of those situations of like somebody's like taunting the guy like, hey,

380
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,440
nice car or something like that. Like he was legitimately complimenting. No, like it was

381
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:51,600
legitimately like in his tone, you could hear it. You could hear that. I guess that's wild, dude.

382
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,040
You just be nice to somebody that come and punch you in the face. So I guess,

383
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,520
you know, since it's the jail report, I guess he had charges pressed against him and all. That's

384
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,400
crazy. That's crazy. Hey, man, don't be punching people just because they give you a compliment

385
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:10,720
to your car. All right. This next one, Ms. Enders and Mr. Jones were arrested and charged with

386
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:18,400
forgery or alteration of a lottery ticket with the intent to defraud passing that state lottery

387
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:26,160
ticket and Larson E. Grant death of $100,000 or more. Okay. So Ms. Enders came into possession

388
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,360
of a quote unquote winning lottery ticket and tried to claim her winnings, but it actually wasn't a

389
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:38,320
winning lottery ticket at all according to officials. The lottery ticket in question from

390
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:46,240
the 500 X cash scratch off game displayed obvious alterations, deputy said. Apparently, it was two

391
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,600
lottery tickets, two separate scratch off tickets that had been taped together. Tape together.

392
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,480
And so when they claimed it, they faced legal consequences. So of course, you have to present

393
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:02,560
the ticket and then it was deemed to be a non-winner. So approximately a few weeks later,

394
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,760
Ms. Enders contacted the Florida Lottery for an update and asked us to meet a special agent

395
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,280
at the lottery office where she and her boyfriend, Mr. Jones, were detained and separated for

396
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,320
investigation. The special agent explained that the ticket was fraudulently pieced together

397
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,160
and Ms. Enders at first did not remember where she had purchased it, but said that the ticket had

398
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,640
gotten ripped and wet in the rain while trying to scratch it. She maintained that she was confused

399
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:31,600
about how the two tickets didn't match even though they were clearly pieced together. So,

400
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:38,400
so they tried to do the little duct tape maneuver, the two sided tape maneuver and they got caught

401
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,040
and what it sounded like is it sounded like, okay, they had this fraudulent ticket, they

402
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:49,040
gonna send it in to get it verified or whatever, right? They probably do at the gas station that

403
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,880
it was fraudulent because isn't lottery like if it's over a certain amount, they, you have to go

404
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,720
to like a state office or something, right? Like there's some, you don't just like go to the gas

405
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,280
station. I think it's like if it, well, no, that's what, that's what they did. She tried to like

406
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,840
redeem it and they told her to go to the state lottery office and then when she did, they said,

407
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:13,520
hey, like this is fraudulent, we can tell. Like, so I guess when she called back to like check in

408
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,520
two weeks later, that's when they're like, all right, well, if you want to come in, like, we'll

409
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,960
go ahead and detain you then. So she wouldn't have called back and she might have just, they might

410
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,840
have let it go, you think? Yeah, probably. But even if the story was true about how the ticket had

411
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,680
gotten ripped and wet in the rain, if you pieced it back together, you could tell, hey, this is

412
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,960
part of the same ticket. So, yeah, no, I think it was probably a bad, a bad con job. That's what

413
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:43,840
it sounds like for sure. Yep. So this last one, and you guys know how we love our arrest stories

414
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,680
where people assault each other with food. Yes. Those are always so funny. You know,

415
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:57,600
my favorite was the McChicken story. I don't know why that was so funny. All right. And this one is,

416
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,920
I wouldn't say it's as funny as the McChicken story, but it's pretty funny. And again,

417
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:10,000
assault and battery, even when it's with food is never okay. So, but the circumstances are funny.

418
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,600
So a Florida man was taken to jail after he threw spaghetti sauce at his mother during an argument

419
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:24,240
at their home over the weekend. Mr. Fiaco was arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida,

420
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:30,640
on charges of battery and resisting an officer without violence. The police officers were called

421
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:36,480
around 8 p.m. And after an argument turned physical, they said that Fiaco doused his

422
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,600
mother with spaghetti sauce, which was found in her hair. There's not any description of what

423
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:47,120
they were arguing about, but he assaulted her with spaghetti sauce. Oh, man. So was it like

424
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:54,000
prego ragu? Like, what are we talking about? I don't know, man. Oh, man. But apparently,

425
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,640
like, after he did it, he ran away from the house. So they had to like track him down.

426
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,200
And that's why he got the resisting arrest. Like, listen, I'm, it's like, I'm calling the police.

427
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:09,280
Oh gosh, I got to get out of here. I can't be caught assault with a with a pasta sauce.

428
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Can't have all that. Do you remember on our very first episode, when we talked about the lady who

429
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:21,040
shoved hot sauce down her kids throat, made it made a meat. Yeah. As a punishment, Tabasco's.

430
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,680
Was it Tabasco's? Yeah, I think it was Tabasco's. It was a hot sauce. That was crazy. That wraps up

431
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,800
the jelly donut. You got to love our arrest stories, man, and especially in Florida where

432
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:39,760
things get crazy. So yeah, I think we're going to transition into our donut hole, which is usually

433
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:45,360
we play a game on a course. We're going to play a game this week because Mike and I were supposed to

434
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:53,920
watch movies again and I failed on my part. So I will hit y'all up the next time because I did not

435
00:28:53,920 --> 00:29:00,800
complete my assignment. So a little honesty there. All right. Now this quiz and this will be multiple

436
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:06,080
choice. So you're not going to have to guess on your own, but the name of this quiz is insider

437
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:11,840
wrestling terms. So kind of terms that they use in the business to describe certain things. And

438
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:18,640
we're going to see how good you are at guessing. Now I've only given you three choices versus four.

439
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,680
So you have a one in three chance of getting this right. I'm going to start off with a couple of

440
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:31,520
softball ones. Okay. What does the term baby face mean? Does it mean a wrestler who paints their face,

441
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:39,360
be the cameraman, or see a good guy or hero in wrestling? Good guy or hero. That is correct.

442
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:46,480
Number two, what does heel mean? A, a type of wrestling boot, B, a bad guy or villain in wrestling,

443
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,080
or C, the manager of a wrestler? It's a bad guy. That is a bad guy. Hey, two for two. Yeah.

444
00:29:52,880 --> 00:30:01,360
All right. Number three, what does spot mean? Spot, SPOT. A, a designated place for the wrestlers

445
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:08,480
to stand, B, a commercial or C, a coordinated move in wrestling? I would say a coordinated move. Yes,

446
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,840
it's a coordinated move. So if you say, Hey, I'm going up to the top rope and then I'm going to do

447
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:20,000
a frog splash, that's called a spot. So good job. Yeah. Okay. Number four, what does a work mean?

448
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:27,360
A match, B, something in wrestling that's planned or scripted or C, a time limited match? What was

449
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,680
the term again? Work. I'm going to go with A. It's actually B, something in wrestling that's

450
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,640
planned or scripted. So if they say something is a work, that means it was planned or it's not real.

451
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:44,160
Number five, what does a shoot mean? A shoot, like shooting the gun, like that work. All right. A,

452
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:50,800
something in wrestling that is unplanned or real? B, a videotape promo or C, a commercial? I'm going

453
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:55,760
to say a promo. It's actually something in wrestling that is unplanned or real. So if someone says,

454
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,840
Hey, I'm shooting on this person. It means that it really happened for real. Like, Hey, that guy

455
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,800
really slapped you in the face or Hey, that guy really doesn't like this guy. They're not just playing.

456
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:11,760
Number six, what does it mean if someone is quote unquote, going over? A, they're getting thrown

457
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:18,080
over the top rope. B, they're entering in from a different part of the stadium than the main entrance.

458
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:23,760
Or C, someone is winning the match. They're entering from a different part. It's actually C,

459
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,720
someone is winning the match. So if they say, Hey, okay, Hey, Rock, you're going over that

460
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:36,080
major one of the match. Number seven, you might be able to get this just from the choices. What

461
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:42,320
does it mean if wrestlers are quote unquote, calling it in the ring? A, they decide to punch

462
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:47,200
each other as hard as they can for real. B, they wait until they are in the ring to decide which

463
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,600
moves they're going to use. Or C, they decide at what point of the show they want to have their

464
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,200
match. I'm going to say B. It is B. Yeah, it's kind of like improv, right? They're just like, Hey,

465
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,560
we're just going to do this on the fly. You got three more questions here. Which term is used

466
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:09,760
when a match goes really bad? We stepped in dog crap. B, we left the gate open or C, we

467
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:17,120
craft the bed. Left the gate open. I say it's actually C. We craft the bed, which the real term

468
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,720
is the other word for crap, but I can't say that because this is a family. Okay. Yeah. Family friendly.

469
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:28,560
Number nine, what is the term used for someone whose main role is to lose matches just to make

470
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:34,560
other people look good? A workhorse, be a jobber or see a rodeo clown. I don't know why. I want

471
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:40,800
to say rodeo clown. I don't know why. It's actually be a jobber. And that's a job. Okay. Yeah, it's

472
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:46,240
kind of like a negative term in wrestling. So pretty much the Miz. That's who we're talking

473
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,200
about. Yeah, that's basically what the Miz is, dude. Like, and that's why if you get called a

474
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,760
jobber, it means, hey, you're just a yes man who's going to do whatever they tell you. Number 10,

475
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:02,640
what is the definition of a dark match? A, a match done in the pitch black dark and the first one

476
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:09,120
who gets pinned wins. B, a match that is before or after a televised show. So a match that doesn't

477
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:14,880
get put on TV. Or C, a match where the baby face gets beat up by bad guys for all, for the whole

478
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:21,040
match. Ooh. I'm going to say B. I'm going to say B. You are correct. Yeah. A dark match is one that

479
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:26,240
either happens before or after the match and it doesn't get televised. So usually in most wrestling

480
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:32,320
shows, if it's on TV, they'll do a dark match before and then they'll do a dark match after

481
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:37,040
and they'll make sure that the good guy wins and everybody leaves the show happy,

482
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:42,560
even if it doesn't get put on TV. So something may bad, may happen at the end of quote unquote

483
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:46,800
the televised show, but then after that, then there's a dark match. Heck yeah. Okay. Well,

484
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,280
you did pretty good man. Some of those are kind of easier to figure out like just with context.

485
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,120
Some of them are more interesting than others, but I don't know. Some of them are like,

486
00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:00,240
they'll lead you astray with the way they sound. But yeah, it's kind of like, oh, like I didn't

487
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,880
know what that means. Like a shoot, I could be like, oh yeah, that's a promo. Like if I didn't

488
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:10,960
know what that meant, it's like, but cool that you did pretty good. But other than, uh, other than

489
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,680
what we talked about at the beginning of the show, Dave Ramsey, what else fries your doughnuts?

490
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,880
Oh, Dave Scamsey. Nah, man, I'll tell you this much. And I know you worked in this industry

491
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:28,400
for a while. The grocery store experience fries my doughnuts, man. People lose their freaking minds.

492
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:33,680
Like maybe it's not so much the grocery store experience as in the people around you experience

493
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:39,760
in a grocery store. Like I don't know why man, people lose their minds. I went into the grocery

494
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,040
store and I'll be, I'll be real with you. I've been kind of spoiled because of COVID and I know

495
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,440
that sounds kind of bad, but like, you know, everybody everywhere now, including grocery stores,

496
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:55,040
you can have curbside pickup. And so a lot of times that's what you do is I just shop online. And

497
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,200
when it comes time, I just pull up to the grocery store and have them loaded in the back for me.

498
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:04,240
And I don't even see the inside of the grocery store. But this week I decided, you know what,

499
00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:09,120
like I haven't gone grocery shopping for a while. They were running some good deals like in the store

500
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,440
that you can only get in the store. So like, you know what, might as well go in there. And

501
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:23,840
mind you, I went on Wednesday at four o'clock PM. So four o'clock in the afternoon. And okay,

502
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:31,120
Mr. Gros, former grocery store man, would you say that Wednesday afternoon is typically a high time

503
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,200
or like just afternoons period? Kind of like after people get off of work? I would say it just

504
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:42,480
depends on what's going on. Like if it's kind of around a holiday, if I would say afternoon on a

505
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:48,400
Wednesday is it's not a dead time, but it's not a highly busy. So I'd say it would land right in

506
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,640
the middle, probably a moderate. Well, first things first, man, it was like, what I can't

507
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,040
stand what I've noticed about people, and I forgot about this, and this is bad at Walmart. This is

508
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,560
bad anywhere. I went to a different grocery store. But have you noticed that people wait until they

509
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,840
get into the doorframe, right? They will get into the doorframe, and then they will stop. And they'll

510
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,920
be like, you know what, let me make sure that I've got everything, let me make sure that I got these

511
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:17,120
coupons that I came in here with. And like, they'll stand in the doorway to where now you can't get

512
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:23,120
around them. And you're going, couldn't you like step off to the side where all the grocery carts

513
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,080
are and everything else like can't you like take two steps forward to get out of our way? Like I

514
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:32,640
had that happen twice, like people just standing in the doorway like fumbling around in their purse.

515
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:37,600
It's just like, bro, there are people behind you, what's going on? And so then you get in there.

516
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:44,000
Something that I don't like this grocery store that I go to here, it's a little bit newer.

517
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,600
And it has a lot of stuff, which is good. The only bad part about having a lot of stuff is they make

518
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:56,240
the aisles a lot narrower, because they have to fit everything in there. And so for me, I always

519
00:36:56,240 --> 00:37:01,280
feel like I'm in people's way and other people feel like they're in my way. And I don't know about

520
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,840
you, but like in a long period of time, like that just bothers me after a while. It's just like,

521
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,480
always feeling like, you know, you're in somebody's way or somebody's in your way to where you're like

522
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:15,200
trying to get something. Because you're standing in this aisle and like this person's trying to

523
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,120
look over you, you're trying to look over them and like it's this whole freaking mess.

524
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:24,720
There's always someone standing in the right spot where you do that thing. I promise you,

525
00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:29,840
no matter how, it's not like a few, it's always right in the exact spot that you need it.

526
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,400
And you're just like, I wish I could reach through you to freaking get what I need to get

527
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:40,960
and put it in the cart. And not to mention, so like, you know, it's not just people traffic that

528
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:46,400
I'm talking about. We, because of COVID, what we talk about, it's a two-edged sword. If you go into

529
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:51,040
the stores now, you have all the personal shoppers, right? Or like the people who are getting people's

530
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:56,080
orders ready. And so they're now like filling the aisles with stuff and they're trying to do it

531
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:01,440
quickly as well. So they're trying to zip in and out of there on top of you got all the people who

532
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:06,880
are going slower than crap. Not to mention, then you have like the couples who are in there who

533
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,760
like aren't shopping for anything, I don't think they're just like walking around just like hugging

534
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,600
each other, like doing that little waddle motion, like up and down the aisles. And you're just like,

535
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:22,160
uh, like, can you move out of my way? Because we try to actually get stuff. And so you got like

536
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:28,240
all of that that goes on. But the biggest thing, man, is just nobody pays attention. Like the part

537
00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:32,720
that drives me nuts is nobody pays attention. I don't know if this is just me, but the unwritten

538
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:39,920
rule in my mind is, you know, grocery stores are laid out a lot like highways. You know, you drive

539
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,160
on the right hand side of the aisle, right? And then, you know, you have your middle section,

540
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:50,160
your median area. And my thing is you have people who drive on the wrong side, right? And make

541
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:56,080
everybody like move around them. One, two, I see so many people like shooting through those median

542
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,920
like I almost hit so many people and so many people almost hit me. That's what I was going to

543
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:05,200
tell you, bro. Like, have you noticed like when you're on a quest, when you are on a mission,

544
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,520
there will be 5 million people that just pulled out in front of you. Like, I promise you, it's

545
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,720
almost bad. It's driving irregular traffic and not to mention like the grocery store parking

546
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:19,520
lots are the war. That's when people drive the absolute worst. That was going to be my last

547
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:25,360
point was the grocery store parking lots because they're freaking bad. Like I one, you always have

548
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:30,640
to watch yourself because you almost get hit like as a pedestrian so many times. And then two,

549
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:36,160
once you actually get in your car, it's like, man, nobody gets nobody gives two craps if you're halfway

550
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,360
out, right? You could be halfway pulled out. Nobody cares. And like people almost hit you

551
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,200
or like you'll be halfway out. And then all of a sudden you have to pull forward because you see the

552
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:50,240
dude behind you pulling out and it's going to smack you if you don't pull in. And it's just like, bro,

553
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:58,160
like nobody nobody cares. And not to mention, maybe I'm just this guy too. But like a lot of times in

554
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:03,360
these parking lots, they have arrows of like, okay, you're supposed to go this direction. Nobody

555
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,520
follows that crap. You know what I mean? Like nobody follows that. So you'll have people going

556
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:12,880
the wrong way doing this. Man, it's crazy. People just lose their minds and people don't care.

557
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:18,080
And as much as I say, like, okay, the benefit of COVID was, you know, being able to go and

558
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:24,480
pick up things. It's like one of the negative parts is about COVID is I feel like people care less

559
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:30,160
about, you know, in public situations like at the grocery store. Yeah, it's wild, dude. And I

560
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:36,400
totally get that. I'm, dude, I promise you I'm in Walmart at least probably four times a week,

561
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:42,640
just because where our office is right next door. And so it's easy to pop over to Walmart. So I've

562
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,600
gotten to the point where I can map it out and I can cut through different ways. So I'm not on

563
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:53,360
those main paths. But I totally get it. And the benefit is I have worked in a grocery store for

564
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:58,400
a long time. So I do know where things are at quicker. But at the same time, dude, I do, I try

565
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:04,480
to avoid to going to the grocery store when it's busy, like on the weekends, if I can avoid it at

566
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,920
all, I try to not go. But yeah, it's wild house selfish. I'm telling you, it's a quest. It is

567
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:15,440
a challenge just to get out of the grocery store. And I, and I don't like it. It just, it makes me

568
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:21,200
mad. And all those points saying yes, like, I, if I have to go to the grocery store, I just want to

569
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,840
get a couple of things that I need. I know what I need. I don't want to have to shop if that makes

570
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:31,760
sense. Oh yeah, me neither. I like, even if you go in having a list, like that still could be a

571
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:37,760
problem sometimes. And then what I don't like is I know that you say that you can find things a

572
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:44,960
lot easier sometimes. Yeah, but like, I don't know, my local grocery store, it's cool and everything.

573
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:50,080
But the newer one that we've been going to their layout is a lot different than the other one. And

574
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:55,760
that's, that's fine and dandy, but like, they'll have things like, for instance, they'll have like

575
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,360
Asian sauces and things like that and like stir fried noodles and things like that on one aisle,

576
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:06,560
like Asian cuisine on one aisle, and then have like ramen noodles on the next aisle and not have

577
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:12,480
that stuff together. It's kind of weird. It's like, okay, why not have those two things that, you know

578
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,760
what I mean? And so some stuff doesn't make sense. And while you're trying to figure it out,

579
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,960
you got a million people around you too. And what's hard is you're looking around these people,

580
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,200
like, like Chris said, you're, they're always in the exact right place and you're going, I got to

581
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,320
be missing it somewhere because this is the section for it. And then you go around to the next

582
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,800
aisle and go, Oh, it was over here. Like, why the heck is it over here for? Like, I don't know.

583
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,120
It's, it's, it's a whole freaking thing. It's like, I'll be, I'll be real with you. I think that'll

584
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:44,800
probably be the last time I get overstimulated in a grocery store, like inside the grocery store.

585
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:49,600
You know, if it's one or two things for sure, but like full grocery shopping to where it's like,

586
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,040
you know, a two hour experience. Yeah, I don't think so, dude. That's a lot.

587
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:58,000
I'm going to tell you guys a little trick to the, and this is not working all grocery stores,

588
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:03,920
but I will give you just a general for most grocery stores. This is how it goes. The,

589
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:12,720
the, the condiments and the pastas and all that, those are usually in your first couple aisles,

590
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:20,400
then your middle aisles are like your cereals, your snacks, and then the higher you go, then

591
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,760
it's like, okay, it's getting more to the non food items. And then after the snack cereals,

592
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:31,440
it's usually your soft drinks, your waters, your data rates, your juices, all that good stuff.

593
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,640
And then you, then you move to the detergent, the cleaning stuff. They intentionally put the

594
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:42,240
milk and the meat in the back of grocery stores because they know that's what most people need

595
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:48,240
when they're trying to shop. And so they want to put it at the back of the grocery store so that

596
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:54,720
you pass by all the other stuff because most people are like, oh yeah, like, oh wow, impulse

597
00:43:54,720 --> 00:44:00,000
buys, right? Like that's what grocery stores are trying to do. So if they put the meat and the dairy

598
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,120
upfront, they wouldn't make any money at all. But that's why they put them in the back. So you have

599
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,760
to pass through all those different things where you're like, ooh, like here's a Snickers bar,

600
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:15,680
like I could grab that or ooh, look, there's a new Lucky Charm cereal. Let's try that. Like

601
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:21,600
throw that thing. So it's intentionally mapped out strategically. But most of the time,

602
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,240
that's kind of how the general layouts go. And that makes sense. I've noticed that with a lot of

603
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:32,480
the layouts as well. So yeah, totally makes sense, man. But I bet you're glad to not be in that

604
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,400
industry. I wouldn't want to work in a grocery store. People are idiots in a grocery store.

605
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,480
That's for sure. Oh yeah, I have stores. But that's a different time for a different day. But

606
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:46,560
let's move on to something more positive, which is our mystery donut. And that's our improv segment.

607
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:53,760
And it's game week. And Mike and I are playing one of our favorite games. Fortunately, unfortunately,

608
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,960
let's do two scenarios. And I've got the first one. Alrighty. Since you were talking about your

609
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:05,040
love of the grocery store so much, let's talk about going grocery shopping. Would you like to be

610
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,920
fortunately or unfortunately? Since I don't like it, I'm going unfortunately. I'll let you

611
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:16,560
fortunately it. Okay. All right, here we go. Fortunately, I have a lot of coupons so I can

612
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:22,560
save on groceries. This unfortunately, most of them are expired because you haven't used them.

613
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,760
Fortunately, I at least got a cart with a good wheel all four good wheels this time, which that's

614
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,680
something else that bothers me and fries my donuts. You never get a good card at those places. I

615
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:37,440
don't think they exist. Anyways, unfortunately, one of the wheels totally came off halfway through

616
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:42,480
your shopping experience. Fortunately, that's okay. There's an empty one right here. So I'm

617
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:47,680
just going to take you unfortunately all four of those wheels are bad on the empty one. Unfortunately,

618
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:52,560
it's not like they have a shortage of carts. So I would probably go grab another one from the front.

619
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:59,040
Unfortunately, you sprained your ankle because the old cart were off the balance in your ankle.

620
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:04,320
However, medically that works. And yeah, so now you're hurting and don't want to walk any further

621
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:09,920
than you have to. Fortunately, since I got hurt on their property, I can now probably get money

622
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,320
out of this. Unfortunately, your lawyer says you have no case because you have no proof.

623
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,840
Fortunately, that's okay because these Apple jacks are on sale so that I'm going to buy two boxes

624
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,640
to make myself feel better. Unfortunately, it's not the same Apple jacks as it used to be because

625
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:29,920
it doesn't have the Jamaican cinnamon guy on the fortunately, I don't like cultural appropriation

626
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:37,040
so I'm okay with it. Unfortunately, everybody likes cultural put no joking. Unfortunately,

627
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:43,520
general meals stop making Apple jacks so you can't go and get it anymore. Fortunately, I know that's

628
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:49,360
a load of BS because that is one of their number one sellers is Apple jacks. Well, unfortunately,

629
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:54,640
general meals completely went out of business. So it doesn't matter if that was their top seller or

630
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:59,920
not because they went out of business. Fortunately, general meals is owned by an umbrella company.

631
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:05,680
So they have plenty of other products and I can always buy the generic Apple jacks. Oh yeah, well

632
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:13,840
your mom's an Apple jack. So all right, I'm good with going to the next one. All right.

633
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:20,720
All right. So my scenario is taking a test. Fortunately, I studied all night for this

634
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:25,520
test. So I think I should be good. Unfortunately, I did not study for this test. So I will not be

635
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,640
okay. Fortunately, we're talking about me not you. So it doesn't matter. Unfortunately, I'm going

636
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:36,080
to be like my friend Mr. Seapley and not take my test. Fortunately, we're all not communists.

637
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:44,240
Not we're all not communists like Mr. Seapley was. So it doesn't matter. Unfortunately, I'm

638
00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:50,080
going to have to pay for this test on my own. So so I'm going to be broke after this. Fortunately,

639
00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:56,400
you just had that big check come out of that big insurance payout that you had. So it's no big deal.

640
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:02,560
Unfortunately, I had to spend all that money to get new tires on my car. Fortunately, your old pal

641
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:08,080
Bica said, don't worry about it. He's covering the test for you. Unfortunately, they're going to kick

642
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,800
both me and you out of school because they're going to realize that you paid for my test.

643
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,800
Fortunately, I don't think that matters. As long as they got their money, it doesn't matter.

644
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:22,480
Just don't fail it. Unfortunately, it does matter because they want more money than we're already

645
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:27,120
giving them. Fortunately, they're letting you take the test money or no money. So it's okay.

646
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:32,160
Unfortunately, I go to Texas Tech University and that's not the case because they always need money.

647
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,400
Fortunately, you're not at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center right now because they're completely

648
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:41,280
shut down. Unfortunately, they are completely shut down. So there are a lot of people not getting

649
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:46,080
a good education. Fortunately, we're not having to deal with that situation and you get to take

650
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,800
this test and hopefully pass. Unfortunately, I'm just going to drop out of school because there's

651
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:56,400
no point since my since I can't get into my email now. Fortunately, I'll make a crap ton of money

652
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,560
and I'll share it with my friend Chris. So it doesn't matter if you're in school or not. Okay.

653
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:08,080
I don't know what to say to that. All right. Well, we're going to move into our last segment,

654
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:13,520
which is our E Clare and that's what positive advice and Micah, what do you got for us this week?

655
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:20,240
When you down and out, don't give up. So I know this is going to be a goofy little scenario here,

656
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:25,440
but you know, you got to love playing video games and all sorts of stuff like that. One of the ones

657
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:30,640
that I really like playing is college football. Got to love the college football video games.

658
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,280
And you know, a lot of times, especially when I was a kid, I don't know about you. I would rage

659
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:40,560
quit a lot. Right? It's like, okay, that team goes up by 21. It's like, yeah, right. That would

660
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:47,280
never happen and whatnot. Right? You would turn it off and you would restart it. And as I've gotten

661
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:52,640
older, I actually, you know, when stuff like that happens, it's like, even if I go and lose,

662
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,200
you still play it through and see what happens. And weirdly enough, majority of the time,

663
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:02,240
yeah, they get off to an early lead, but you actually come back and end up winning or almost

664
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:07,600
winning. And you feel that much better about yourself. Right? Like, okay, I did get blown out.

665
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:13,200
Yeah, I stuck it through and I did what I could. Even if you lose, you're like, you know what? It was

666
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:18,640
tight loss, but it wasn't like I got blown out and stuff like that. And it's the same thing with life.

667
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:24,480
So many people will start something like, for instance, a podcast or they'll start something,

668
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,920
you know, go into the gym, start going to a routine and I'm the world's worst at starting a gym

669
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:36,240
routine and like not following through with it. But what I'm saying is you start a routine, it doesn't

670
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:41,680
look exactly like you think you were going to, it's going to look because there's very few situations

671
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:46,160
in life where you step into something and you're automatically winning. Right? You're automatically

672
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,720
winning and you're automatically ahead and things are just going great. And so most people will throw

673
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:56,560
those things away very, very quickly. Oh yeah, man, I'm down now. Man, I'm sore or oh man, you

674
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,480
know, this is going on and you know, that's not optimal and I can't do that with the rest of the

675
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:07,200
things in life. And what I'm saying is it's hard to do, but don't give up because what ends up

676
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,520
happening is if you can power through it and push through it a lot of times, you get a lot of

677
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:17,280
blessings and things and don't be mistaken. If there's a no win situation to where you're already

678
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,480
looking at it like, ooh, I stepped into this job role or ooh, I stepped into this situation and

679
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:27,600
it's not what I was looking for at all. And it's going to get to the point where basically it's

680
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,920
going to harm me or my family. Like that's totally different. I'm not saying like, yeah, don't be a

681
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:36,400
quitter and stick those situations out. What I'm saying is there's a lot of times to where we give

682
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:41,840
up too soon before our blessings or before our lessons learned or before anything else. And so

683
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,960
if you stick it out, you'll end up learning or you'll end up having further opportunities because

684
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:53,920
you stuck it out. So, you know, it's always interesting how that goes, but it's always the

685
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:58,880
first instinct of like, oh yeah, man, it's not going 100% great. So I'm going to just drop it, but

686
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:05,280
don't give up. Yeah. Well, I promise you, we did not coordinate this because that was,

687
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,200
it's pretty much as long the same lines of what I was going to say is just be patient

688
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:15,040
and wait it out. And sometimes in life, like Michael said, you have those things where you just

689
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:20,480
keep taking losses and it just feels like everything is not going the way that you wanted to. But if

690
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:25,040
you're patient and you waited it out, I promise that good things are going to come on the other

691
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:30,640
side of it. And when you're in the middle of the storm, sometimes it gets darkest before the dawn,

692
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:36,000
right? And so like Michael said, like you don't want to quit right before like you're at the

693
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,720
finish line. Like that's one thing the Lord told me a couple weeks ago is like, don't quit right

694
00:52:40,720 --> 00:52:46,240
when you're at the finish line. And so if you're patient and wait, I promise there are so many

695
00:52:46,240 --> 00:52:49,680
more blessings on the other side of that. And it's hard to wait because sometimes you don't

696
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,760
know how long you're going to be waiting for. But when you're in the middle of that waiting,

697
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:59,200
it builds character. And there's a lot of times in the Bible, the Lord says just to be patient and

698
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:04,240
to wait and to be still. And that's really hard for a lot of us because we want to do things and

699
00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:09,040
we want to fix it. We want to control the situation. And it's like, I'm waiting, but I feel like I

700
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:14,400
should be doing something to fix it. And oftentimes I found like when you're when you wait and you

701
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:18,880
finally give up that situation, like the Lord works it out because it's like, you know what,

702
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:23,520
okay, you take your hands off of it now, now I can do what I can do and the Lord can do it

703
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:29,840
like that. So just be patient, wait it out. Like Micah said, don't quit before before you're at

704
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:35,280
the finish line because I promise like you may not know like you're almost there. You may be

705
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:40,320
thinking how much more this can I take, but you are almost there. So don't give up. Crazy how we

706
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,120
didn't coordinate but coordinate. So it just seems like somebody out there needed to hear that.

707
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:50,080
That's cool. And it's always a good, you know, I'm even talking to myself a lot of times when I

708
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:56,560
tell these E-Clairs, I'm talking to myself too. I know Chris does too. It's mainly, I mean, any

709
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:02,880
anybody out there that talks talks about personal experience, talks about life and things like that.

710
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:08,240
And you know, I could speak from personal experience, you know, it's been tough sledding.

711
00:54:08,240 --> 00:54:12,560
And it's one of those things to where you kind of sit here and go, where is the relief coming?

712
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:16,560
Where, what is this going to happen? But you know, it's on the horizon and you know something's

713
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:21,840
coming. And so, you know, it's also you telling yourself to keep believing in trust the process

714
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:27,840
and things like that too sometimes. And so, yeah, man, good words, good words of wisdom and advice,

715
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:34,000
but hey, man, we're at to another end of another episode. We're over at the trash can network

716
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:40,640
and Instagram over on Facebook over on YouTube, man, come give us a like, follow, subscribe. We

717
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:45,680
got so much stuff over at the aviator society on Instagram as well. If you're into all the aviation

718
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:50,560
stuff, you know, we post a lot of that over on trash can network as well. But if you like that,

719
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:56,400
go over the aviator society. We appreciate you over there. And man, we've had some pretty cool

720
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:01,680
ones. I found some footage. This is not going to mean anything to you and to the non aviation

721
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:08,160
people on this podcast. But man, I found some footage of of a sob 340 landing that I captured

722
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:14,080
like 12 years ago. And it's not the best footage, but it was like, man, I didn't even realize I took,

723
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:21,040
you know, footage of this back then. So I posted that up on trash can network and over on the aviator

724
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:26,320
society. So that was kind of cool to see. I don't know, it was one of those little gyms of a find

725
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:31,920
of like, Oh, man, I can't believe that I had this. And, you know, I will say this, thank God for,

726
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,560
you know, maybe we won't say this in a few years when we find out some of the stuff they've been

727
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:41,600
doing. But thank God for Google, man, because they had been saving a bunch of photos, videos and

728
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:47,280
stuff on my Google drive from like 12, 13, 14 years ago. I didn't keep track of it, but they did.

729
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:51,520
And so it's like that was one of the gyms that I found over there. So that was pretty cool.

730
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:56,960
But yeah, go check us out on all the different platforms. And that's pretty much all I got,

731
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:02,800
man. Yeah, that's awesome. And we are creeping up on the three year anniversary of the Donut Box

732
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:08,800
podcast. We just have probably about, I think, three more episodes left before we hit the

733
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:15,920
three year anniversary. And so coming to an end of season three and season four, we got so many

734
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:21,680
good things for y'all. And we're so excited. But I think it's time for the Starship to take us out.

735
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:41,280
I'm Chris and I'm Michael and this is the Donut Box podcast.

736
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,280
Good to be true.
