people in the church parking lot and film 9 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,760 that on camera. 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,960 Man, I don't think we have anything else to do, but we got to start talking about this. 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:44,960 ASAP. 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,160 So let's go ahead and roll the intro. 13 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,840 Hi, I'm Micah. 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,840 And I'm Chris. 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,280 And we've been friends for over 20 years. 16 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,240 Surprisingly, we haven't killed each other yet. 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,480 Years ago, we started our own variety show and it sucked. 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,160 Now that we're adults, we decided to give it another try. 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,160 And you know what it says like in the movie, life is like a box of donuts. 20 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,760 You never know which one's going to be the next one. 21 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,200 Wait a second. 22 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,520 It's chocolates. 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,560 Life is like a box of chocolates. 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,240 You never know what you're going to get. 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,760 Oh, right. 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,760 Okay. 27 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,840 Well, let's start the show. 28 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:24,360 This is the Dona Box podcast. 29 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,560 In the air, man, I know last week we say we were going to be, you know, on camera and 30 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,560 everything like that. 31 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,800 We had a few technical things we had to work out, but here we are live on camera, not live, 32 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,720 but on camera looking good, looking good. 33 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,720 What are you thinking, Chris? 34 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,240 You're looking, you're looking okay. 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,320 You're looking pretty fat over there. 36 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:49,040 I know that we're going to talk about this in a minute, but this is really giving me 37 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,160 the web web web show by that's exactly why. 38 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,000 No, that's exactly why I did it too. 39 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,400 That's exactly why I did it is because this is the kind of banter that we had. 40 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,400 Not really. 41 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,400 Really, really poor podcast. 42 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,200 I don't remember any poor questions. 43 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,200 I just remember you bansering with the camera like it was just, oh yeah, that could be true 44 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,200 too. 45 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,000 I just, I was just talking and that sounds a lot like me at the time. 46 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,840 But anyways, so we are back for another episode and this episode is a free flow episode. 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,960 So three years, bro. 48 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,560 Three years stinking years. 49 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,080 Yeah, we're officially on three years. 50 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,960 We had our Thanksgiving episode last episode, so go check that out. 51 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,360 But yeah, man, this episode, we are on off of our regular schedule programming and we're 52 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,160 going on a free flow episode. 53 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,680 And like we said in the pre-intro there, we are going to be talking about DonaBox 54 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,800 podcast, MC Productions, Trashcan. 55 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,480 Where did all come from, man? 56 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,760 Because it's got quite the history. 57 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,800 And you know, we got a lot to talk about with this whole thing. 58 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Are we going to do one of those things where it's like we're going to start the linear 59 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,440 journey or you know how sometimes in the movie that they start at the end and then 60 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,760 they go back to the beginning and are we just going to go straight linear? 61 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,720 I think we're going to, I think straight linear because if I started from the, I don't know, 62 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,320 I still might forget stuff calling it linear. 63 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,320 Started from the bottom. 64 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,320 Now we're here. 65 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:23,440 So let's take you back on a journey 15 years ago. 66 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,160 This was the time where podcasting was not that big. 67 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,160 I think you remember that show I Carly. 68 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,160 Do you remember that show? 69 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,160 Yeah, I do. 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,080 Web shows kind of had a thing, but that's what it was. 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,120 But this was not in the days where YouTube is what it is now where we could do things 72 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,360 like we're doing right now. 73 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,760 And it was not those times. 74 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:52,240 You know, we were back in the dinosaur ages when dinosaurs were on the earth in the early 75 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,240 2000s. 76 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,240 Yeah. 77 00:03:54,240 --> 00:04:00,440 No, so it was, it was kind of, it was different times for sure. 78 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,160 I had gotten a laptop primarily for school. 79 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,240 And so Chris and I, we were bored a lot. 80 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,720 And well, hold on. 81 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,960 Just before I go into this, Chris, you had some like video editing. 82 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,080 Did you have any sort of experience to that point? 83 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:24,640 No, the only thing I mean, everyone on their laptop have Windows movie maker. 84 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:29,760 And so like people would put together slideshows like anybody could, it's kind of like how 85 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,320 Cap Cut is now like, or can everybody has that and everybody knows how to do it. 86 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,440 So back then like video editing, I guess if you would call it was kind of common, but 87 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,960 I would do like maybe some school projects or whatever. 88 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,040 But I remember we were just kind of like, Mike and I have always been like creative. 89 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,600 So we're always thinking like, okay, what can we do to entertain ourselves that doesn't 90 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,600 cost money? 91 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,440 And so I think we started just spitballing like, ooh, like, let's TV show ideas. 92 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Yeah. 93 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,640 It was like TV show ideas. 94 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,000 It was like movie ideas. 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880 It's like just kind of spitballing these things. 96 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,480 Now, granted, these were also the glorious times where, you know, Chris, he would come 97 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,600 over to my house and whatnot, had the wonderful basic cable. 98 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,920 And what would end up happening is stay up till really stupid early, late, whatever you 99 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,880 want to call it into the morning. 100 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,640 And man, you saw some really dinky television shows at that time. 101 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,760 And you know, that'll kind of play into trash can TV in a little bit. 102 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:35,400 But no, we had some, you know, really dinky television shows that we watched kind of really 103 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,400 late night. 104 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,480 And so I don't know. 105 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,360 It was one of those things to where we started spitballing these ideas and we were like, you 106 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,600 know what, a lot of times are like, I think we can come up with better than what is out 107 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,760 there right now. 108 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,480 And so we came up the first thing we came up with. 109 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:59,920 First, I'm gonna have you go through some of the things that you were going through 110 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,360 life, because that's going to explain why we wrote the script the way we did. 111 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,320 So if you've listened to our podcast for any number of time, you've heard about my uncle 112 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:17,000 Steve and that came somehow in the in the unreleased version, because we lost the files 113 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,640 of the first project that we did. 114 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,200 We only got the first part because we filmed up in like four chunks. 115 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,960 But I got my first, I guess, official girlfriend at the time. 116 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,120 And we actually talked about this the other day off camera. 117 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120 But Micah had introduced her to me. 118 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,280 And so we were, we were dating at the time that we started filming this, like we had 119 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:41,520 not broken up yet. 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,840 But I think I don't know what it was. 121 00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:49,640 I don't know why we just decided we were like, okay, we're going to film this show or movie. 122 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,560 And it's going to be called the story of Chris and it's like, some of it's real, some of 123 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,240 it's not like we're going to loosely basis on your life. 124 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,240 I don't know. 125 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,200 And then there was, and then there was other parts of it that just had nothing to do with 126 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,200 anything. 127 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:09,680 Like there was, there was parts in there that just had no bearing on, you know, I really 128 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,280 wish we had part two and three, because I do not remember what part two and three was. 129 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,400 But the part one that we had, I'll put it to this way, it was horrible quality. 130 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,520 Because so going back to the laptop deal, I had a laptop and one of these really early 131 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,040 low grade USB webcams, right? 132 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,520 This was before laptops had the integrated webcam. 133 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,800 Like this thing did not have a webcam built into it. 134 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,840 So it's like, okay, you got to have this external one. 135 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,040 And then the webcam was a big deal. 136 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,040 Right. 137 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,040 So you guys know. 138 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,040 Yeah. 139 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,960 Like this was, you know, I don't even think Skype was really a big deal at the time. 140 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,840 It was like, it was, it was getting to the point where even video calling was kind of 141 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,280 on the new and up and coming at the time. 142 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,480 And so to have a, to have a webcam was a big deal. 143 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,480 So it's like, okay, we can have, we thought, okay, we have a camera, right? 144 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:58,980 Because we got this webcam. 145 00:07:58,980 --> 00:08:02,440 And so I remember bringing this laptop and we thought it was great because laptops are 146 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,560 portable and you know, this webcam was corded so you could move it around, you can angle 147 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,560 it whatever. 148 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,760 So we had a camera. 149 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,440 So we, we, I don't think we wrote a script. 150 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,960 I think we were just like, we have a loose baseline. 151 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:21,400 Kind of like how this podcast is and kind of how anything we do, it's like, okay, this 152 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,440 is the outline, but this is kind of what I'm going to say. 153 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,520 And you can kind of, we're just, this is kind of the general premise of where you go with 154 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,520 this. 155 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,720 This is kind of where we're going to go with this. 156 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:39,040 But what I think was, and I don't know why this was the first line, do you want to tell 157 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,040 them first line Chris? 158 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,400 Cause I'm still like, oh my gosh. 159 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:47,120 The first line was it was just recording me from like, it pans up from like my feet all 160 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,080 the way up to my head and it's like really dark. 161 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360 And I just say, you can't see my face. 162 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,880 And I'm like, why didn't we leave, why did we leave that in there? 163 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,680 Anyways, dumb, dumb, you had to be there. 164 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:00,680 Okay. 165 00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:06,880 So then the first, the first opening like credits or whatever, we go in and I walk up 166 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,640 and it's like, hi, this is Chris. 167 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,440 And it's Michael like on the face. 168 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,440 Yeah. 169 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,360 And I'm narrating it. 170 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,640 But see the thing is like, I'm there in person just behind the camera narrating, not like, 171 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,480 no, it showed your face. 172 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Right. 173 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Just like narrating. 174 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,280 And it's like, this is Chris. 175 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,280 Go for it, man. 176 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,600 This is like, this is the story of Chris. 177 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,440 And it's like, yeah, we all know he was related to uncle Steve. 178 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,440 And it's like, then you say my last name and it's like, although his last name wasn't 179 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,080 this, his last name is this. 180 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:44,560 And then it cuts to me just walking up and just being like, no, I meant, no, I meant 181 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:49,160 more the very first line that I said was, and this is Chris and there's nothing special 182 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,160 about him. 183 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,640 No, no, you went, you, we did, you did that. 184 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,560 And you just said, hi, this is, this is, this is Chris. 185 00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:59,200 Yes, we all know he's related to what. 186 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,160 And then I go walk up and it's like, this is Chris. 187 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,160 He's nothing special. 188 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,880 As soon as it cut to me, it's like, Hey, this is Chris. 189 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,880 He's nothing special. 190 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,320 He goes to David's Simphine Arts and he wants to be president when he grows up. 191 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,960 This isn't an e-harmony profile. 192 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,280 This is this actual person. 193 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,280 And enjoy. 194 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,040 That was the last word. 195 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,040 Enjoy. 196 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,800 But it was just this whole, it was this whole thing about him, but it was like some love 197 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,760 story, but like the gal broke up with him. 198 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,880 And then to talk about the random portion of it, then we had me and this was foreshadowing, 199 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,840 by the way, I just want to say we had me as a delivery guy. 200 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:47,080 And I remember putting electrical tape like on here to make a mustache and, and, and, 201 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,160 Hey, Sid, you want to approach your Mexican food and like have this bag, hands it to him. 202 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,720 And I said, you know, that'll be 2750 and he's, excuse me. 203 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,720 No, it'll be 350. 204 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,640 And then it was like, Oh, okay. 205 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,640 See foreshadowing. 206 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,640 It is 2750 now. 207 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,760 And delivery from a Mexican food restaurant. 208 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,760 Oh yeah. 209 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,280 That wasn't a thing back then. 210 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Oh no, it definitely wasn't a thing. 211 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,960 So we kind of saw that one coming. 212 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,040 But again, going back to it, where would that have fit into the story? 213 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,920 Like that has nothing to really do with. 214 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,200 Right after you're like, okay, this is this. 215 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,360 And then I call Pizza Hut and I'm like, Hey, Pizza Hut, I want to, it's like, wait, you're 216 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,360 hanging. 217 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,240 I guess the thing is like Chris is just like a, like you're supposed to feel, no, you're 218 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,960 supposed to feel sorry for him because he gets hung up on by Pizza Hut. 219 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,800 Then he goes into the fridge and he can't find any food. 220 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,760 So now he has to call Mexican food. 221 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,080 I guess that's where we were going with it. 222 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,240 I guess it didn't make any sense. 223 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,240 It didn't make any sense. 224 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,240 No, it didn't make any sense. 225 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,120 That's why that's why I'm really curious of what part two and three where, because how 226 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,680 did we get more content to where we were going with that? 227 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,720 I don't know. 228 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:57,960 So then it goes to where I'm on, on the phone with my quote unquote girlfriend and Micah's 229 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,880 playing the part. 230 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,520 And you could obviously, it's like, and I'm even like, Oh yeah, hold on. 231 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,440 Let me put you on speakerphone for a second so you can pick up the audio. 232 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,600 And it's like, Mike, Mike is like, Oh yeah, this is pretending to be my girlfriend, but 233 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,000 he's like, Oh yeah, this isn't working out. 234 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,120 And I'm upset because I guess I've been dumped too many times or whatever. 235 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,120 Bro. 236 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,600 And see, so the effects were great. 237 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,120 I remember how we did that too. 238 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,120 I remember we had these home phones, right? 239 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,040 Back when home phones were a thing and I was able to like ring the phone like to another 240 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,040 phone in the house. 241 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,040 So I was like, all right, go outside, go outside. 242 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,040 My head is all. 243 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,360 It was just like this stupid effects that we were trying to make happen. 244 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,400 It was crazy. 245 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,400 So it's sorry. 246 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,400 Go ahead. 247 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:45,400 Just thinking. 248 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,400 Yeah. 249 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,400 So then that happens. 250 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,080 And then part one ends with me crying because I got broken up with obviously. 251 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:58,320 And then I don't, I remember something about part two and three was something I remember 252 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:05,160 in part two was that we ran into this homeless guy that was living in a bush by this, this 253 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,840 place that was used to be called Julian Smith casino and it was based upon. 254 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,760 Oh, that we knew a real life. 255 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,440 And I don't know how I ended up running into him in the story, but the story made no sense. 256 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,440 Yeah. 257 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,560 And it's probably why we can't remember it because it didn't make any sense at the time. 258 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:23,560 I ran into a homeless dude in a bush at Julian Smith casino, which by the way, that is a 259 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:27,120 real place and I guess the Georgia know it is not a casino. 260 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,840 I don't know why they call it a casino. 261 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:36,600 But anyway, so we made those videos and to Chris's point, we lost part two and three. 262 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,840 It was on that same laptop and lost it to a virus and yeah, and end up happening that 263 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:42,840 way. 264 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,400 So very though it could be like that. 265 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,280 No, I was going to make a joke, but I refrained myself. 266 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,280 Yeah. 267 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,240 It's a family program. 268 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,920 So no. 269 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,080 So the next video we end up doing, what was the what was the very next one? 270 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,920 So the next one was I don't we had not filmed. 271 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,840 We had not filmed the house party video yet, but we decided I don't know why, but I remember 272 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,680 you were like, OK, we're going to make we're going to make a variety show. 273 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:17,160 And so we're going to do that because we had just gotten done from cleaning and cooking 274 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,000 for the homeless ministry. 275 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,240 And so you had a Coca Cola that you took home from there and you had a box of donuts and 276 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,600 you were like, man, this would be a great idea because like is like a box of donuts. 277 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,520 There's so many varieties or whatever. 278 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,160 And so our variety show, it's like, I could have weather. 279 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,160 I could do this. 280 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,160 I could do that. 281 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,440 I'm like, yeah, like let's go. 282 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,240 Yeah, let's do it. 283 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:49,880 And so this show I cringe going back and watching it because I had quite the southern accent 284 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,360 going on with it. 285 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,600 You should put the link in the description. 286 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,120 I should put the link in the description because it's still online. 287 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,080 And yeah, you can go see it for yourself. 288 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,840 But it was really, really bad. 289 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,400 The quality was like worse than Chris. 290 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,400 Yeah. 291 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,880 And I don't know how because we were inside. 292 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:19,200 We were inside and we, you know, and it still was just absolutely terrible. 293 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:26,800 And so we even we even had commercials and commercials, commercials, the one commercial 294 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,080 and then two commercials. 295 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,480 Oh yeah, we did have two commercials. 296 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,120 I need to go back and watch that with the rest of this crowd that's about to watch this 297 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,120 too. 298 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,840 But it was really, really interesting. 299 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:47,320 I just remembered the first bit was just me eating donuts and drinking Coke and being 300 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:48,720 like, is this thing on? 301 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,720 Is this thing on? 302 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:50,720 We thought that was hilarious. 303 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,720 We thought that bit was so funny. 304 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,400 It'd be so hilarious if we if he thought that the camera was rolling and he didn't know 305 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,400 and did it. 306 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,000 And I'm like, where did we get that idea? 307 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,960 I don't know. 308 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,360 But how many videos did we start off with with that one? 309 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,720 It's like, turn the camera is this thing running and turn the camera? 310 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,040 I don't know why, but that was the thing. 311 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,840 And so we started off with that. 312 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,800 And I just remember going through it. 313 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,320 And so if you've listened to our podcast now, and this is where I'm going to draw some 314 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,160 similarities. 315 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,360 If you've listened to our podcast now, we have a segment called what fries my donuts. 316 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,400 And it's, you know, basically talking about what really gets you going, what makes you 317 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,160 mad, what grinds your gears, all that good jazz. 318 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,040 And I remember the first version of that was literally what grinds my gears. 319 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,600 And it was spookbop a family guy because of that whole thing. 320 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,720 And I remember it was about bandwagon fans. 321 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,080 It was about bandwagon fans. 322 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,800 And it was about, you know, people in NFL teams. 323 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,800 It's like, I like Tampa. 324 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,800 Yeah. 325 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,800 Yeah. 326 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,800 Dick, George Jackson. 327 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,800 Oh boy. 328 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,080 It's like, now my when my team goes to the top, there are some people that want to root 329 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:02,440 for teams that I don't know, maybe one Super Bowl or something. 330 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:08,120 But when my team goes to the top and everyone's like, yeah, I was a Tampa fan the whole time. 331 00:17:08,120 --> 00:17:09,120 And I'm like, yeah, right. 332 00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:10,120 Get out of my face. 333 00:17:10,120 --> 00:17:11,120 Yeah. 334 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,120 That was, that was the. 335 00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:15,120 The accent is sick, ladies and gentlemen. 336 00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:17,680 Oh, it was, it was so thick, man. 337 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,680 And I didn't think I had it. 338 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,240 And if I ever deny it, just show me that video again. 339 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,280 But no, so went through that. 340 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,960 I think probably the other worst part was I did do a weather segment from the local 341 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,680 weather in Augusta, Georgia, and it was stormy that day, which was good. 342 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,640 It literally, I just had a TV behind me. 343 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,440 It was literally the weather channel. 344 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,640 And he's just looking at it. 345 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,640 It's like, let's look. 346 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,680 Oh, let's look at the weather channel. 347 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,680 Let's look at the weather channel. 348 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,680 You're so. 349 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:45,680 Oh yeah. 350 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,080 And, you know, it's like, but hey, I gave you that one weather report on that one day, 351 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,600 just in case you didn't know, like, hey, I'm your worldwide weather authority right 352 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,600 there. 353 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,560 So, I had that. 354 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,680 And I remember you made an appearance. 355 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,160 So this was actually kind of wild. 356 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,440 So the story of Chris happened, sure. 357 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,760 But really Chris at the time was not a get out in front of camera kind of person like 358 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,760 at all. 359 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,120 He's like more of the, I'll be like, he's a lot different now, obviously, because look 360 00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:18,400 at him, but I used to be, it's like, he's the technical producer kind of guy, right? 361 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,920 Like he's the guy that's in the background. 362 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,280 He'll do all your technical stuff. 363 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,880 He really did not like being on camera or doing any of that. 364 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,280 But I do remember you had a little, a little spot there, a little spot in the show. 365 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,120 What were you, what were you prepping, Chris? 366 00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,120 Okay. 367 00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:35,640 Basically, this was just a way to try to pick up girls. 368 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:43,560 But so we said, okay, okay, we're, we're doing this contest and it's like, if you like, and 369 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,560 if you put in the comments, all that stuff, like really, we were kind of before our time 370 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,760 because people do that now. 371 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,520 It's like, if you like or put our comment on our page, on our Facebook page, we'll put 372 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,440 you in a random drawing at one lucky contest and we'll get to tour the studio. 373 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,520 To our studio. 374 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,960 And the studio was my bedroom at my parents' house. 375 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,880 And so it was like, that was, that was the studio. 376 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,640 That was what they were going to come to her if somebody won. 377 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:16,440 And really the line was, you said, you said, if you want to tour and see all the celebrities 378 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,440 like myself, 379 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:23,600 Like, I don't, just, just, just a side story on that too. 380 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:29,520 I think where a lot of that came from is I had taken a tour of the CNN center in Atlanta. 381 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,520 Like I don't know. 382 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:36,000 And if you've ever taken a tour of the CNN center in Atlanta, like it's a pretty gnarly 383 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,000 tour. 384 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000 Like it's pretty cool. 385 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,440 Like you can go through the whole thing with the newsrooms and stuff like that. 386 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,200 Here I am in my parents' bedroom. 387 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,960 Like, yeah, you know, the celebrities like me, you know, come to where, yeah. 388 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,960 Yes. 389 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,920 So then we, this is also something that translated over into the Donut Box podcast. 390 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,760 We had an improv segment. 391 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,080 Oh yeah, we did. 392 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,880 And so it was just a comedy sketch, but like it was really bad because only me and Micah 393 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,880 knew the inside. 394 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,160 It was just a lot of our inside jokes. 395 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,080 And we were just kind of like, oh, and we actually were, this actually filmed after 396 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,000 I had broken up with my girlfriend. 397 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,440 So funny enough, when we filmed the story of a Chris, like maybe a week or two later, 398 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,160 my girlfriend that I was dating at the time broke up with me and my youth pastor was like, 399 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,160 yeah, I watched your video. 400 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,200 He was like, that video was kind of prophetic, huh? 401 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,480 And I was like, well, I'm gonna put you in the face of Pastor Tim. 402 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:35,720 But yeah, so, so we made fun of my ex-girlfriend and not like we didn't call our name or anything, 403 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,920 but it was an inside joke between me and Micah. 404 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,920 And so we made fun of her in that little sketch. 405 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,520 So the sketch was really bad. 406 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:45,600 Yeah. 407 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,560 But nobody, nobody would have understood it. 408 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,960 Like, I'll put it to you this way. 409 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,040 When I rewatched it, it took Chris explaining it to me for me to understand it again because 410 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:01,400 it was just kind of, it was pretty obscure. 411 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,520 But no, so we had that. 412 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:09,160 And then you were like, at the end, you were like, I just want to thank my mother for having 413 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,920 me, my father for having me. 414 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,320 Boy, did that one age well. 415 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,440 Yeah, I did. 416 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,760 Boy, did it. 417 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,720 And you know, to me, what I love about all of our videos is the credits period. 418 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:29,160 If you've never seen the credits, we always be thinking like God, the camera, everybody. 419 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,200 So anyway, so we had our little variety show. 420 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:40,280 And so we only had the one, never, never did another one there. 421 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:46,680 But after that, I think really between story of Chris, between the variety show, our youth 422 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:52,520 pastor kind of caught wind and we kind of wanted to as well, like, hey, they might be 423 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:53,920 video creators. 424 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,760 Let's, let's see what they can do. 425 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,720 And then that's when our next creation started pumping out. 426 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,720 Nobody asked us to do this. 427 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,840 We took this upon ourselves. 428 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,440 There was an event coming up at the church and it was called the house party. 429 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,880 And so, ooh, I'm going to take you back to 2008. 430 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,200 So back in the day in Georgia, they would have these things called house parties, right? 431 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,160 And so it was just really like, I'm sure they still have them now, but like it was just 432 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,680 a cool, kick it type deal. 433 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,080 And so that's really what they were playing. 434 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,080 They were really trying to play into like the hip hop culture being in Augusta. 435 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,840 So they were really trying to play into that. 436 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,480 So they were having this house party, but it was at the church. 437 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,920 And just to preface to our youth group, once a month, typically for a certain time period, 438 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,960 for about once a month, they would have these little parties of varying themes and they 439 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,240 had a few different house parties. 440 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:53,120 But really just to kind of give you a perspective around that time in Augusta and especially 441 00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:57,000 Atlanta area, like it was the hip hop Mecca over in Atlanta. 442 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,720 And so there was a ton of, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the 443 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,520 of not just hip hop artists that were trying to make it in Augusta, but there was a lot 444 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,640 of Christian hip hop artists that were trying to make it into Augusta, things like that. 445 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,400 There was all sorts of that sort of thing. 446 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,440 And not just that, but of course, being so close to Atlanta, the environment really, 447 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,520 I mean, even Chris and I, we love some good Atlanta rap music for, for a reason. 448 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,240 And it's because it was a big influence. 449 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,240 I still do. 450 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,240 Oh, I do too. 451 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,760 Like I, I mean, he and I was still on the same stuff because it's, you know, it was 452 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,520 a heavy influence in the time. 453 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,760 And so having these, like I remember there was a few, like the one that we're talking 454 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,800 about in particular, they had a dance party. 455 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,080 There was another one where they had a rap battle. 456 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,120 I remember that one. 457 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,720 Did they, they had a third one. 458 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,720 Did they not? 459 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,720 Yeah. 460 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,560 The first one I went to, you didn't go to this one because you were still, you weren't 461 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,880 in middle school yet, but that was my first one. 462 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,920 And like, I will say, like as much crap as we talk about, like the youth group and stuff, 463 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,200 they did put on parties and events really well. 464 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,960 Like it was really well. 465 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:09,000 I remember they got like this toilet from Home Depot and put like punch and stuff in 466 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,960 there and it was like, it was really cool. 467 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,000 That was, that was the constant like party thing. 468 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,320 I don't know why they had, but they like built a fountain into it somehow. 469 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:23,160 So like shot blue, like, like Kool-Aid into the toilet bowl and you know, it was a blue 470 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,160 Kool-Aid. 471 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,160 Right. 472 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,720 It's like, it's like, was Pastor Tim really? 473 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,720 I'm joking. 474 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,120 But it's like, but you would have, that's where you got the punch from, like you would 475 00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:33,320 ladle it in from there. 476 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:39,040 And so coming to think of it, man, just side spitball and they must have had some pretty 477 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,400 decent funding for these parties. 478 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,400 Yeah. 479 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,920 They probably had a pretty good budget because like, I'm pretty sure all the youth budget 480 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:46,960 like went to these parties. 481 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,400 Went to these parties. 482 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,800 And so, you know, there was always something also interesting too. 483 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,600 I remember a couple of times they invited like guest DJs. 484 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,280 Like I remember one of them used to be, if you know, if you've ever heard of three, six 485 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,760 mafia, like he was before he went Christian, like he was like from three, six mafia. 486 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,280 So like they came, he came in there and whatnot. 487 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,040 And so these parties were a pretty big deal. 488 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,000 And like Chris said, yeah, we kind of took it upon ourselves of like, okay, we know all 489 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,800 the details, but I think the entire thing, if I remember correctly, my memory may be 490 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,320 failing me now. 491 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:28,040 But I think it was something along the lines of Pastor Tim said, hey, we need this to happen. 492 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,680 And we don't have anybody to do it. 493 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,160 He didn't necessarily ask, but we were like, you know what, if we show him a good product, 494 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,800 like they'll put it out there. 495 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,040 And so we took it upon ourselves. 496 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,680 And should I put that link in the description? 497 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,600 You should put that link to that. 498 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:47,120 So, so basically how it goes again, I don't know why this was our form, but our form was 499 00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:52,200 okay, this is the general things that we need to say, like we're kind of fleshing this out, 500 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,400 whatever, like this is kind of the marks we need to hit. 501 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,280 And so what we would do, how we broke it up was like, okay, we're going to do this little 502 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,160 segment and then we're going to do a joke. 503 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,600 And then it's like a, like it's almost like a cutting like blooper type deal, but it's 504 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,000 not a blue, it's like a, that screen that goes beep, like it's cut up. 505 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,520 Yeah, right. 506 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,960 So I remember the beginning was, it was like, we didn't know that the camera was on again. 507 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,360 We were talking about the game and it's like, did you know the camera was on? 508 00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:19,840 It's like, no, I didn't know the camera was on. 509 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,480 It's like, we got to start right now. 510 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,880 That's all right now. 511 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,680 And so then we're like, Hey, this is what's happening. 512 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,720 We have this house party coming up. 513 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,680 We're going to be in this dance competition. 514 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,040 And it's like, oh yeah, like do that. 515 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,440 And it's like, oh yeah, we filmed a dance comp and we had this mannequin that was sitting 516 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,440 in between us. 517 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:38,440 I don't know why. 518 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,440 Ron Swallow. 519 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,040 It was Ron Swallow. 520 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,360 And yes, that was the mannequin's name was Ron Swallow. 521 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:46,080 I don't know why. 522 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:52,160 No, I remember why it was because we always, we decided to film in this closet or it was 523 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,160 a filming. 524 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,160 I think it was already a filming closet. 525 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,360 It was already a filming room. 526 00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:59,520 Yeah, it already had a green screen like it was already, but like in the video, if you 527 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,360 watch the video, you'll see all the paper. 528 00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:03,440 Like we didn't bother to clean up the papers. 529 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,440 No, we didn't. 530 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,520 We're going to film it as is. 531 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,400 I don't know why we didn't clean up the papers. 532 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,080 There's even, there's even a giant like furry boom mic and the, in the bottom down. 533 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:20,160 Like, I mean, yeah, there was, it was kind of, but anyways, so we go through this video 534 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,720 and we have a nice little dance compilation video of our own. 535 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,240 And you know, we thought it was so cool. 536 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,960 We thought it was so cool. 537 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,160 And I look back and it's Crane City. 538 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,560 You'll get to see that one in the link below as well. 539 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,560 Just look at the house. 540 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,200 Well, what we thought was so cool is like it was in the thing. 541 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:43,760 So you would have like the one, two, three, four, like the four quadrants and it was different 542 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,400 videos of all us dancing. 543 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,400 So we will, which at the time, which at the time was really big. 544 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,280 And something else that was really good. 545 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:57,280 I think if I'm not mistaken, didn't you get roped into, because you started learning 546 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,840 Final Cut Pro, our church got Final Cut Pro. 547 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,720 And at the time that was a really, really big deal. 548 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:09,360 They all had, it was big Apple church and pretty much Final Cut Pro. 549 00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:12,280 It cost a thousand dollars, like a computer to get it. 550 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,600 So I mean, it was incredibly expensive. 551 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:19,600 So naturally we wouldn't have been able to use it if it wasn't for being over there. 552 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,200 And I think the entire reason you kind of got some training under it and then I end 553 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,080 up getting some training under it is because I think you got roped into something at one 554 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,360 point of like a children's deal or something. 555 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:35,520 And then the kids ministry deal and there's like, Hey, like, and they would teach us like, 556 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,640 Hey, here's how you film this. 557 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,160 And like they have pretty high quality equipment. 558 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,760 Like for even now, it's like pretty good. 559 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,600 And so like, it was like, Oh yeah, like they have like a, like a 16 by nine camera, like 560 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,880 a professional camera, like the film videos on and everything. 561 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,480 And so it was like, Oh wow, like it was pretty high quality. 562 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,720 And so we were just like, Okay, like cool deal. 563 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,520 I learned how to do it and then I was like, Okay, I'm going to learn because I think I 564 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,240 had filmed a VBS or something. 565 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,000 Something and then, you know, a lot of times, especially, you know, you go to church and 566 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000 things like that. 567 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000 In fact, I think that's what it was. 568 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,440 You filmed a VBS and then I think you had to cut up a compilation video because a lot 569 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,560 of times what they wanted, they want to show is they want to show naturally they want to 570 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,600 show how good of a time it is and show the rest of the church of how good a time they 571 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,080 had to be VBS or whatever. 572 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:32,360 So he had some experience and I remember, you know, that editing took a long time. 573 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:37,600 I remember that editing took a long time. 574 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,520 This was not in the cap cut days. 575 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,040 This was, you know, wasn't as easy as movie maker at all. 576 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,400 But those are some of the features that we thought were great like that for quadrant. 577 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,400 We thought was really cool. 578 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,960 I remember one of the other effects that we thought was really cool is, and I don't think 579 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:55,920 we did it in this video, but we got to like the ground to shake like the whole like thing, 580 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,280 like the whole effect. 581 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,240 It was it was all crazy. 582 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:07,520 But we we went through this whole house party video and it didn't end up getting getting 583 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,520 shown. 584 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:13,320 Yeah, we showed it to them and I don't think they liked it. 585 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,520 Maybe I don't know audience. 586 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,120 You can put in the comments whether or not you liked it or not. 587 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,160 But I liked it. 588 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,480 I still like it. 589 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,800 It's one of those videos that I still even though the dancing is very cringy and the 590 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,200 jokes are really dated for the time. 591 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,200 But I still like it. 592 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,680 I stand by it. 593 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:38,960 Oh, when he's saying dated jokes, I remember one of them was we we made this for real. 594 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,120 He said, Chris tells me, oh, yeah, you're looking real fat, you know, when people you 595 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,400 say P H A T for like you're looking cool or whatever. 596 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,680 And I was like, what, he called me overweight and that was like one of the jokes. 597 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,000 Yeah, it definitely dated. 598 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,280 But you tell us in the comments what you think about what think about the house party video. 599 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,440 And so we had some other time go through. 600 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,960 We made some other videos as well. 601 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,320 We tried to make another one for the youth group. 602 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,840 Try to make Christmas party video. 603 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,480 Oh, I had I don't know. 604 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,400 I still stand by the house party video. 605 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,800 I don't I think the Christmas. 606 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,600 It wasn't very good. 607 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,640 It was that one was not it not as good. 608 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:33,320 Well, so the difference being so for this Christmas party video house party, you know, 609 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:40,840 it's definitely we dressed up at the time with kind of that baggy shirts, Jorts and, 610 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:49,360 you know, sideways ball cap kind of the hip hop theme of 2008 to yeah, yeah, just like 611 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,360 that. 612 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,760 And so we kind of dressed like that. 613 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,400 Well, for the Christmas party video, the Christmas party was it was a banquet. 614 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,560 So it was like they wanted all the youth to dress up and not quite like tuxedos, but like 615 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,000 suits and yeah, dress definitely a tie. 616 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,880 It was definitely right. 617 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,880 Right. 618 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:07,880 And so I had dressed up. 619 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:13,000 And I remember they were like those old school pleated khakis. 620 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,720 Yeah, that was the premise of the video was that Michael was there to dress up and I was 621 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,720 like, hold on, what's going on? 622 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,040 He missed the message. 623 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,040 Yeah. 624 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:24,040 Yeah. 625 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,280 Oh, Chris missed the memo here. 626 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,960 And so it's just like, see, this is why I told you we should have gotten that texting 627 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:35,040 plan with the, you know, I said some again, some dated jokes about like AT&T. 628 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,440 We should have switched AT&T for that unlimited texting plan because, you know, texting was 629 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,680 costs every every time back then. 630 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:50,080 But anyways, so we go through that video and they really didn't like that video. 631 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:54,080 I could but they promised us they said, oh, yeah, we're going to show it. 632 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,800 We're going to show it at youth and house. 633 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,160 I'm getting our big premiere. 634 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,800 But it's what I think what made it really bad was at the end, like the credits. 635 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:07,120 Michael was like, okay, I'm going to sing some Christmas carols for you. 636 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:12,640 And he just basically did the bit from Family Guy where like the inside Dean Friser done 637 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,600 Dean Friser done. 638 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,520 And then at the end, you're like, Merry Christmas. 639 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,520 Christmas. 640 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:18,520 Yeah. 641 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,520 Yeah. 642 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,120 That was there. 643 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,920 There's probably a reason they didn't show it. 644 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,920 Like they could have cut that part off or we could have cut that part off. 645 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,440 I also made a not good times. 646 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,440 What is it? 647 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:31,440 The Jefferson's. 648 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,080 I also made it so like that was even for them. 649 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,120 That was a very outdated reference. 650 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,720 Like really bad. 651 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,600 Like now obsolete. 652 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,320 But even back then that was a really bad reference. 653 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,320 Yeah. 654 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:44,320 Think about that. 655 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,920 That show is what 20, 25, 30 years old at the time. 656 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,920 Yeah. 657 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:49,920 We made that reference. 658 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,920 It was bad. 659 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:51,920 So, yeah. 660 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,760 So, yes, we made a Jefferson's reference in that video. 661 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:04,840 But you know, really and truly the video quality wise, pretty, I mean, again, had really, really 662 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,800 good equipment and whatnot. 663 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:08,520 The ideas were kind of there. 664 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:15,040 And then so we, we progressed a little further and you start doing some more stuff for school. 665 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,040 Like I know you did some more. 666 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,040 Yeah. 667 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,120 I did some stuff for school. 668 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:25,960 And so actually I somehow, I don't know how it got about, but there used to be a teen 669 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,520 section in the paper, the Gusso Chronicle. 670 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,240 And so every year they would look for new teenage and basically it was like teens who 671 00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:37,960 wanted to go to journalism or whatever. 672 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:45,720 And so my, so my deal was like, I can't write, but I can do be a video content creator. 673 00:34:45,720 --> 00:34:47,880 And they were like, oh yeah, you can be part of this team. 674 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,880 And I was like, what am like my picture is in the paper and everything. 675 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:58,760 And so I remember I did a expose on powder puff, which if you don't know what powder 676 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:04,560 puff is, powder puff is where the girls play football and the guys cheerlead and we didn't 677 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,880 have football at my school, but somehow we had powder puff. 678 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:08,880 Yeah. 679 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,720 And it was like a big thing for them every year. 680 00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,320 It was like, it was like a big thing. 681 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:19,320 It's like these guys are dressing up in skirts and tutus and but I was just kind of like, 682 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,320 so I don't know why I did an expose. 683 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:28,280 And I remember I like, I, I didn't have enough guys who, who wanted like be on camera that 684 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,280 were doing it. 685 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:33,040 So I filmed my buddy Jacob at the church and like got an interview with him and be like, 686 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,280 bro, just make this up. 687 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,440 Like, tell me what you think about powder, like make it positive. 688 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,440 So I did that. 689 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:44,560 And then I did some other projects for school. 690 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:49,280 We can talk about that maybe in a little bit, but no, I'm just leaving. 691 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:55,160 And I'm just leading into so where you started getting interested in school and whatnot. 692 00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:00,240 So professionally, Chris started getting interested in becoming a police officer cop. 693 00:36:00,240 --> 00:36:04,920 And so we started watching a lot of cops on TV, the TV. 694 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,960 I've seen every single episode of cops. 695 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:08,960 No lie. 696 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:09,960 No lie. 697 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,160 New old, he's I can, I can vouch for that. 698 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:22,200 And so we watched like I said, a ton of cops to the point where I mean, what's what's next? 699 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:29,720 We, we had a camera and we said we had time pretty much we had to be up at the church 700 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:33,280 and this church that we were at had quite a huge parking lot. 701 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,240 Like I mean, the thing is pretty, pretty large. 702 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:40,600 And a lot of the time there would be a quarter of it to half of it that was not being used 703 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,240 like at all at any given time. 704 00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:44,480 Especially if there was hardly anybody there. 705 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,320 Oh yeah, that thing is free game. 706 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:51,800 And so there was kind of this upper area, you know, that you can kind of go over to. 707 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,760 And so we decided and we had plenty of actors that would help us out because there's plenty 708 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,120 of other church kids and everything else that are what's up. 709 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,880 And I was going to say my car at the time was a 1996 Buick Century. 710 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,080 So we didn't have a Crown Vic, but it still had like a column shift. 711 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,320 And so like, if you're filming it like on the, it kind of looked like a Crown Vic and 712 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,480 we were, this is when we were in our Western wear phase. 713 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,440 So we're like, oh yeah, we could be like Texas version, like whatever. 714 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,560 And it's like, we've seen cops so many times. 715 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,720 Let's just parody this. 716 00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:25,120 And we were bored again. 717 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,440 All of our great ideas come out of boredom. 718 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,280 So yeah, it comes out of boredom. 719 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,800 And it was just like a, like this progression. 720 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:38,360 I remember it all started with, yeah, like let's see how it looks when we film, when 721 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,560 we pull up to a place and like whip in there and then open the door real fast, like we're 722 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,280 cops and like, see how fast we can get out. 723 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,880 And it turned from that to, okay, you're going to be the perp. 724 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,640 And you're, and so like, we started making these cops videos. 725 00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:00,560 And I think to the, to the ones that we have on the internet still active right now, there's 726 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,080 four of them, I think. 727 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,080 Yeah. 728 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,080 And there's four of them. 729 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,080 Is there a night version on there? 730 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,080 Is the one with the night version is on there? 731 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,640 And the night version is on there too. 732 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:09,640 Yeah. 733 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:10,880 So our friends were bored too. 734 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,480 I don't know how they got roped in. 735 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,480 We roped them in. 736 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,320 We were like, Hey, we're going to do this cops video, whatever. 737 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,720 Do you want to be the perp? 738 00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:18,720 Like do you want to be this? 739 00:38:18,720 --> 00:38:21,080 It's like me and Mike, I can't, we're the good guys, right? 740 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,080 We're going to be the cops every time. 741 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,080 Yeah, we got to be the cop. 742 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,680 But we're like, do you, do you want to be the perp? 743 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,920 And they were like, Oh yeah. 744 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:30,160 Like, because at the time they were having like church meetings and like, of course, a 745 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,800 couple of teenage boys was like anything I can do to get out of a church meeting. 746 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,240 So we're like, okay, this is what's going to happen. 747 00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:38,000 So again, we film it like it's cops. 748 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,560 We're driving in the backseat. 749 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,560 Like I'm driving. 750 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,400 It's like, yeah, I've been on the force for three, five years. 751 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,160 Like it's hard with the wife and everything. 752 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,360 And it's like, we came up with different scenarios. 753 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,920 I was like, Oh yeah, this guy's trying to break into a car. 754 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,400 And we're not just that. 755 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,600 Yeah, not just that, but we, we freaking, we would make little code names. 756 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,560 We'd be like, Oh, yep, that's a 318. 757 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:58,880 He's trying to 318 over there. 758 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,080 We still know what the codes are. 759 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,520 We're like, Oh yeah, he's trying to steal a car. 760 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:02,520 It's 318. 761 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:03,520 Yep. 762 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,520 Right over there at 318. 763 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,520 What were you saying? 764 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:07,520 You said, Mark, my truck. 765 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,880 Yeah, you parked your truck and you were like, okay, like we're going to try to do where 766 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,360 someone is breaking into the car. 767 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,920 So like we pull up and like, of course, you know, in cops, like every time they film it, 768 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,200 like someone's running, like the purpose always running or something. 769 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,240 It never ends like, Hey, like this and that. 770 00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:28,240 Like it's not, it's never, it's never, yeah, it's never normal. 771 00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:29,840 It's never a normal encounter. 772 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:30,840 Yeah. 773 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,320 So we, so we film it and it's like, Oh yeah, look, he's taking off running. 774 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,080 And we did it a couple of times and I don't remember. 775 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,640 You want to go into a couple of the perps? 776 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:41,760 So okay. 777 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:46,880 So one of my favorites and he's like a rather large streamer, a YouTuber now, like I need, 778 00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:47,880 we need to get permission. 779 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,800 Like I would love to feature one of these videos and tag him in it because I think that 780 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,440 would, I think his fan base would like that too. 781 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:59,680 But he, like we had two with him the first one. 782 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,360 And I think it's the night one that you're talking about it. 783 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,520 Like you couldn't really see anything with the camera one, you couldn't see anything. 784 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,320 But we, the first one we did was we posed that he was on drugs. 785 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,120 We were like, yeah, he's on drugs or whatever. 786 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:19,640 And it fit because he was such a goofy guy that when we took him down, he just laughed 787 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:20,640 uncontrollably. 788 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,280 Like he could not freaking stop laughing. 789 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,280 Like we were trying to, we were trying to like tell him his rights. 790 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,160 We're trying to ask him questions. 791 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,280 Like normally what you would do with cops and we were like expecting, he's like, like 792 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:35,960 the whole time and he would not freaking stop. 793 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:41,440 And so like we put him on the hood of the car, like legit, like searching him like, 794 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,440 what is this? 795 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,000 This is a pocket knife, whatever. 796 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,960 And so like we put him in the back of the car and he's spazzing out. 797 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,560 Like he's spazzing out like in real life. 798 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,760 Like he's just, he cannot stop laughing. 799 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,880 He's just, no, he's just going absolutely nuts. 800 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:02,160 And like, and then he's also making like obscene gestures at us in the car. 801 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,120 I didn't see it until after the video was recorded. 802 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,120 He's talking. 803 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,280 I'm trying not to crack up because I'm looking at him in the car and he's just like bouncing 804 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,280 around. 805 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,600 I'm not going to do the gesture, but it was pretty, it was pretty funny. 806 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,360 And so like he did all that. 807 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,360 And then I remember, so there was that one. 808 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:27,000 And then probably one of my other favorite ones, I've got a few favorite ones, but probably 809 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,200 one of my favorite ones was we had two people. 810 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,800 It was like, we had posed that it was a drug deal that like we were intercepting. 811 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:43,120 And so I took down one guy and the other person who he's, he's an interesting fellow. 812 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,320 But he took Chris. 813 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,080 We'll call the other because there you go. 814 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,800 The other Chris, he took his role seriously, boy. 815 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:50,800 He took that thing. 816 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:56,720 He was wearing like a trench coat and every yeah, he was a perfect drug dealer. 817 00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:57,720 Yeah. 818 00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:58,960 Like it was, it was great. 819 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,200 And so Chris is like, Chris is like, don't get me wrong, no offense, Chris, but he's 820 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:04,200 like a smaller guy. 821 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:09,040 This other Chris, I wouldn't say he was much bigger, but he had more weight to him for 822 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,040 sure. 823 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,560 And so like Chris trying to get him on the ground. 824 00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:17,680 All I'm hearing cause like, you know, we're, we're, I'm trying to get this dude in handcuffs. 825 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,920 And all I hear is Chris over here, like, stop persisting, get on the ground. 826 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:25,760 And I look over here and all me is just like wrestling, wrestling, wrestling, wrestling, 827 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:31,960 like, like legit, like, legit wrestling in his dirt. 828 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,280 And so finally Chris gets the other Chris in under control. 829 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,400 I get him in. 830 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,680 I handcuffed him. 831 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,240 He handcuffed him and he's like, he's like, get up, stand up, stand up. 832 00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:44,600 And he's like, he's like, I can't, I can't. 833 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,960 And then finally Chris like stand up. 834 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:47,960 I said, stand up. 835 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,760 And then you hear just under his breath. 836 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:55,640 He goes, no, seriously, I can't help him. 837 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,360 It was one of those, it was on those like he broke character for two seconds. 838 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,200 Like, no, seriously, I can't, I seriously can't get up. 839 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,200 Yeah. 840 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:03,520 But he was serious in character. 841 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,080 He was like, yeah, he was like, why are you harassing me? 842 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,400 He was like, I ain't doing nothing. 843 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:08,400 Bro, he was legit. 844 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:09,400 Yeah. 845 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,400 He was, he was legit. 846 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,320 And the other great part about that was cause of course part of it was we always had to 847 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:14,520 put him on the hood of a car. 848 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,800 So we take him to the hood of the car, right? 849 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:21,200 And so I'll never forget there was this parable at church that we had just had. 850 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,520 And I don't know why, but they gave us these white shoelaces in this like little baggy 851 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:30,040 and like for whatever reason, like the other Chris thought about this, right? 852 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,200 And like the camera's kind of off like I think with, with, with this Chris here and doing 853 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:35,200 whatever. 854 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,920 And he kind of like takes it out of his back pocket and starts like handing it to me. 855 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,720 And there's just a part that's like, oh, what's this? 856 00:43:41,720 --> 00:43:43,720 You know, it looks perfect on the camera. 857 00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:47,720 Just like a little white baggy of like, you know, stuff. 858 00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:49,600 It was, yeah. 859 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:54,360 The coolest part about the cause videos was like we took the intro of actual cups and 860 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,000 then we put our own footage. 861 00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,480 So like it's us taking off running or like tackling them on the ground or like putting 862 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,040 on it actually kind of looks pretty cool. 863 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,440 Like, yeah, it did. 864 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:05,440 It did. 865 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,360 Like in even, even for now, it's pretty good editing. 866 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,240 I mean, I think it's pretty good footage. 867 00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:12,640 We thought we were so proud of that. 868 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:14,280 Oh man, I'm still proud of it. 869 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,160 I still, I'm saying I'm still, I'm still proud of it too. 870 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,480 But yeah, so do you go into one of your favorites? 871 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,480 I told my favorites. 872 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,600 No, those were those were it. 873 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:29,120 So there was another one with our friend Caleb and I remembered Caleb, like we arrested, 874 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:35,440 we arrested him because he was trying to steal into a car and I was like, we're like escorting 875 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,680 him back to the car. 876 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,240 Now you got to think we didn't have handcuffs like we did not. 877 00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:44,360 When we say we handcuffed them, we said put your hands behind your back and you're virtually 878 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:45,360 handcuffed like that. 879 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,240 I don't have hand continue. 880 00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:51,240 So, so we're taking them back and I'm just like doing what they do on cops, giving him 881 00:44:51,240 --> 00:44:52,240 the ride act. 882 00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:53,560 Like, how would you feel if I stood? 883 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:54,920 Stole your car, this and that. 884 00:44:54,920 --> 00:45:00,800 And I just remember like there's a point where Caleb just spazs and he goes and takes his 885 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:01,800 hands to hell. 886 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,800 Well, you like restraint. 887 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,240 Well, you told him, you told him, you said, you said something along the lines of like, 888 00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:10,200 well, you know, this person worked hard for theirs. 889 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,880 Are you going to steal theirs or whatever? 890 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,240 And he said something and you responded, what is that a threat? 891 00:45:15,240 --> 00:45:16,480 He's like, yeah, that is a threat. 892 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,480 He pulls his arms. 893 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,760 It's the goofiest thing. 894 00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,040 I'm putting the link in the description. 895 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,040 You get to see that. 896 00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,760 It was the goofiest, freaking thing. 897 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,200 I can see spaz so much. 898 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:28,920 He spaz so much. 899 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,160 And it was like, he's supposed to be handcuffed. 900 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:37,880 Going back to your story about the first one, the famous YouTuber guy now, I remember like 901 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:43,280 not knowing what was going on and not knowing what was going on. 902 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:44,760 And I just remember being like, what is he? 903 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,840 Is he kicking the door? 904 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:46,840 Whatever. 905 00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:48,880 So I open up the door and I'm like, what are you doing? 906 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:49,880 Like, why are you acting crazy? 907 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,120 And he's like, I was just smoking pot. 908 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,120 Wasn't I? 909 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,120 And I just remember being like, stop, like if you're going to like hit your head on the 910 00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,040 window, like I'm going to tack on another charge or whatever. 911 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:06,680 And I remember he just like looks at Micah and they make eye contact and I close the 912 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:11,440 door and I remember as soon as I did, I guess he did the obscene gesture again. 913 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:15,320 Immediately, immediately Chris kind of like stepped in front of it and like me and him 914 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,480 kind of stepped in front of the door to come block the door. 915 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:22,360 And I remember you could see Micah like almost lose it on camera. 916 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,520 Like he has to walk away. 917 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,200 He turns his face and it's just like, it's so bad. 918 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:29,960 Those are great times. 919 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,960 The only other one you were talking about the Caleb calendar or Caleb one. 920 00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:34,960 Yeah. 921 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,240 You were talking about that one. 922 00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:41,640 What I think is crazy about that one, I had to, I thought I tackled that guy. 923 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,680 Like, that was something else too. 924 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:49,760 But I was, I'm still kind of surprised when I watched that one because I was in like 925 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,360 boots that had the big heel on and everything. 926 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:54,760 Man, I chased that dude down in the freaking parking lot. 927 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,280 I remember getting around the corner and like he knew I was going to catch him and he turned 928 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,480 around and he was like, don't tackle be hard. 929 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,320 Just about that time I tackled over the camera came around. 930 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,360 He had to wait for the camera to get there and then he tackled them. 931 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,360 Yep. 932 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:10,360 It was, it was. 933 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,360 Yeah. 934 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,200 And then we, we had to film. 935 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:17,480 I had to film my senior project and it was all about this cop here. 936 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,480 Yeah. 937 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:22,600 Cop here, which we talked about, I think two episodes ago. 938 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:23,600 Yeah. 939 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,080 And so he was the guy that was doing my profile for. 940 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:31,560 So we got a lot of good interviews like with him and I got some what's termed as beat roll. 941 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:35,000 So it's just like the footage that you're putting in between the interview. 942 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,840 So it doesn't look like you're just statically looking at one person talking the whole time. 943 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:43,920 So I'm like, Oh man, I'm like, we got to spice this up. 944 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,040 Like I'm watching it back and I'm like, man, it's missing something. 945 00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,000 So I'm like, all right, I call my good buddy, Mike. 946 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,120 I'm like, we got out of car chase. 947 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,600 Like we have to add a car chase to this. 948 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,800 So again, what did we do? 949 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:02,200 We use my Buick and Micah's truck looked like a truck that, you know, you would see someone 950 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,280 like, it was a beater, man. 951 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,480 Like it was a beater and a half. 952 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:09,880 And I'll put it to this, why I got pulled over a few times leaving my neighborhood just 953 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:10,880 because of the way it looked. 954 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:15,040 But yeah, so we're like, okay, what we're going to do is it was just down the street. 955 00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,360 We're like, okay, we got to time this outright. 956 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,680 We're going to pretend like it's a car chase and he's going to wreck his vehicle. 957 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:22,680 Right. 958 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:27,000 So we're like, okay, we got to time this outright because there was oncoming traffic and everything. 959 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:32,520 And so like it starts with we're turning and I add some blue lights and I laddered the 960 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,440 police siren for effect. 961 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,720 But I should have done at looking back on it because you got obviously tell us fake 962 00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:41,640 been like, this was a dramatization. 963 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,920 So we got our friend Taylor involved to play the part of the police officer, but his voice 964 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,480 and the actual guys didn't match up. 965 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,800 So I'm pretty sure when they saw it, they were like, what the heck? 966 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,800 And so I was kind of going through a lot in my life at that time. 967 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,720 Well, you're just trying to get out of school right then. 968 00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:04,000 I was trying to go to school, but I did have, I did have a phase of lying a lot during that 969 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,000 time. 970 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:06,000 I lied a lot. 971 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,840 Like I don't know if you know, but I lied a lot during that time. 972 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,000 I don't know what was going on with. 973 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:16,000 I was having some kind of existential crisis or whatever, but I lied a lot, a lot. 974 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,800 I'll tell you off, Mike, what I think it is, but it's all good. 975 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,840 It's not a family show. 976 00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:24,400 It wasn't what it was. 977 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:28,120 It was more who it was. 978 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:29,760 But yeah, so I like going on. 979 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:34,960 So I was like, okay, I'm going to lie and say that we were in this card, card chase, 980 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:35,960 whatever. 981 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:41,080 And so then we time it and turn it and it's like, oh yeah, suspect is turning on this 982 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:46,080 road and we plan it to where Micah's truck would turn into his neighborhood. 983 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:50,120 And you, if you guys have heard, there's that big cul-de-sac in the middle, like concrete 984 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:51,120 grass. 985 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,560 So Micah is going to wreck his truck and the, and so we timed it. 986 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:59,840 So I just sped up the video so it looked like it actually wrecked. 987 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:05,480 And the best part about it was this cul-de-sac, I don't know why, but the, the curb was rather 988 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:06,480 big. 989 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:07,720 So it was quite a large curb. 990 00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:10,000 And so we, we planned it out. 991 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,600 There was an elementary school that was at the top of the hill. 992 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,200 And so we were like, you know what, what we're going to do is we're going to go and like 993 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,000 Chris was saying, there was traffic everywhere. 994 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,160 So we had to, and it was a two lane road. 995 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:24,140 So you really have to be careful and conscious as to what's going on. 996 00:50:24,140 --> 00:50:26,600 And so we take both vehicles out there. 997 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,400 And I think it took us a couple of runs because like, yeah, we got out of the traffic and 998 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,560 then because we couldn't just have them stop in the middle of the road, like waiting for 999 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:35,560 a car or whatever. 1000 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,360 We had to make it look like he was actually running from the police. 1001 00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:39,360 Right. 1002 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:44,160 And so what ended up happening was they would have me and my truck pull out first and then 1003 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:48,400 Chris and Taylor would pull out that we had to make it almost look like I got down the 1004 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:53,000 road a little bit and then they kind of pulled out, turn their lights on, you know how that 1005 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:54,000 whole thing goes. 1006 00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:00,440 And then, and then I run and there was enough distance on the road to where it looked like, 1007 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,720 you know, you're running for a decent amount of time and then turn left into the neighborhood 1008 00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:06,200 really abruptly. 1009 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:08,120 And then I mean, it really did. 1010 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:13,400 I'll say this is sped up footage and everything like that, besides some of the goofy effects 1011 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:19,120 and whatnot, like just the sheer fact of hitting the curb. 1012 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:23,840 And then like, if you've seen police footage or like body cam footage or like car footage 1013 00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:28,120 of like when people crash out and then they take off running, it did look like that. 1014 00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,120 I mean, we crashed up against the curb. 1015 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:33,360 Like I took off running out the car and then, you know, there's a couple other people and 1016 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:37,400 then he's like, cut the camera off, cut the camera off and that's where it cuts. 1017 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,360 And then it's like, okay, we're now we're going to go in. 1018 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,280 But like, I'm looking back at that video and I'm like, my whole, my title of it was called 1019 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:44,280 Superman. 1020 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,560 And it was like, okay, like, yeah, like this is who he is, this and that. 1021 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:49,560 But it never went through. 1022 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,920 Like, why is he Superman to me? 1023 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,120 And that's what I said. 1024 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,600 Like at the end of it, there was no cohesion to it at all. 1025 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,440 Like looking back on it, I wish I would have done that project way different. 1026 00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,880 But yeah, Michael was a part. 1027 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,240 I mean, I enjoyed filming the car chase because I was like, it's got to have a little MC 1028 00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:08,240 productions. 1029 00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:11,240 Yeah, a little twist, a little flair. 1030 00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:14,760 And then I also help with the B roll footage too. 1031 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,160 I remember being in that back parking lot with like, okay, go back up. 1032 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:21,240 I was like, we were doing all that stuff. 1033 00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:26,160 But so yeah, we ended up doing doing that. 1034 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:31,080 And then I guess we can kind of fast forward. 1035 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:33,640 Yeah, because we took a hiatus. 1036 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:39,640 We didn't film anything or do any projects for, let's see, how long was that? 1037 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:40,640 Eight years. 1038 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:41,640 Eight years. 1039 00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:47,360 Because, you know, we ended up moving to Texas and I really don't know why we didn't. 1040 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:53,000 I guess we were busy and had other things going on, but we had lives, jobs, girlfriend. 1041 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,000 Right. 1042 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,200 And so we ended up not doing anything. 1043 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,200 But you know, fast forward. 1044 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:03,040 The year is 2020, the pandemic year. 1045 00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,040 Oh, 2020. 1046 00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:05,040 Sorry, you're going back. 1047 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:06,040 You're going back to the car. 1048 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:07,040 Yeah. 1049 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,040 You're going back to the burger. 1050 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,040 Not the actual recording. 1051 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,280 I'm talking about, I'm talking about just talking, just talking about it. 1052 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:20,040 And so 2020 back into 2020, just like for everybody else, 2020 was a horrible year. 1053 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,920 Like 2020 was a really bad year. 1054 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:27,320 On top of COVID, there was a lot of like personal things going on for both Chris and myself. 1055 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:32,800 And he and I, if you've listened to other episodes of the podcast, we've talked about 1056 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:33,800 this before. 1057 00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,920 We actually had a little bit of hiatus and friendship for a little bit. 1058 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,400 And so we reconvened and became friends again. 1059 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:46,840 And so we kind of, we would hang out, but in kind of a non-conventional way, I guess, 1060 00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,120 a lot of people like bowling. 1061 00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,320 But we, there was this really crappy bowling alley in town. 1062 00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:57,280 And I don't know why, you know, we're called trash can for a reason. 1063 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,080 There's things that are too nice. 1064 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,080 We like our, we like our. 1065 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:05,720 You could bowl for two hours with shoe rental for 12 bucks. 1066 00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:11,680 Now you have to put up with like getting stuck and, you know, the point's not counting right 1067 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:12,680 and things like that. 1068 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,560 But hey, that's part of the fun of it. 1069 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:19,040 But we would go and we would go midday because luckily the job that Chris had and job that 1070 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:24,480 I had, sometimes it would line up to where we would have like a Tuesday or a Wednesday 1071 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:25,480 offer, right? 1072 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,880 And of course, bowling on a weekday ain't nobody there. 1073 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,240 And so we would go and we would bowl on weekdays. 1074 00:54:31,240 --> 00:54:35,040 And again, just kind of like we had talked about before in this episode when we were 1075 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:39,920 kids, we just started spitball out of like, you know, the TV shows, the movies, a lot 1076 00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,960 of the stuff that's coming out right now, it just lacks creativity. 1077 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:48,200 It lacks, you know, even, even the podcast, we were even started talking about podcasts. 1078 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:52,440 We were like, man, a lot of these guys, they, they sit there and they just, they just talk 1079 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,600 about what low carb butter and, you know, like what, what did they talking about? 1080 00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:01,120 And, you know, I know that kind of is a little interesting when we're talking about a free 1081 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:05,760 flow episode where we've talked kind of, you know, free and open, but you know, this kind 1082 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,560 of goes into the next bit. 1083 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,760 We started talking about, you know, if we were going to do it, how would we do it better? 1084 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:16,560 And then we started talking about the original show, the Krispy Kreme show that one time 1085 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:17,960 that we did that. 1086 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,560 And we, you know, it was like, dude, that's still a good idea. 1087 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:22,640 It's still a good idea. 1088 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,080 The concept is still there. 1089 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,000 Yeah, the pieces there were good. 1090 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,840 It's like, yeah, the idea was good. 1091 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,320 The execution was horrible. 1092 00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,560 It was horrible. 1093 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,520 But it's like, it's because we didn't, we didn't know what we were doing. 1094 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,120 And again, we, we talked about it. 1095 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:37,320 We were before our time. 1096 00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:41,400 We didn't have, not just, we'd not have the equipment. 1097 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:47,280 We didn't have the know how and we also did not have resources like a, like a YouTube, 1098 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:51,720 like a Spotify, like an Apple music, like a lot of these things where we could put ourselves 1099 00:55:51,720 --> 00:55:53,960 out there rather quickly. 1100 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,920 That was not even a thought of thing at the time. 1101 00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:02,240 So it was like, man, we live in a day and age now, we could, we could legitimately do 1102 00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:03,240 this. 1103 00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:05,560 What, what is that going to take? 1104 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:09,480 And so then it started, we started looking at what it was going to take in order to do 1105 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:10,480 this. 1106 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:11,480 And I don't know. 1107 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,440 We probably took like two, three months, I would say. 1108 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:21,320 I think it was longer than that because we didn't actually start recording until 2021. 1109 00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,480 No, but I do. 1110 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:30,040 But I remember, I think the birth of the podcast came around or like the actual idea came at 1111 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,280 the beginning of 2021, I think. 1112 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:38,240 And so I remember, I distinctly remember going to main event. 1113 00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:42,120 I don't know why I distinctly remember going to main event, but I was playing pool. 1114 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:43,120 Yeah. 1115 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,800 We were playing pool and we were like, okay, like what segments do we want? 1116 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,560 Like what, because we were like, what if each donut was a different segment? 1117 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:52,640 Like, what is this segment going to be? 1118 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,360 What is that segment going to be? 1119 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,160 I don't, I don't remember. 1120 00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:57,560 I don't know why I remember this. 1121 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:01,600 Not only do I remember main event, but I remember there was competitive like log cutting on 1122 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:02,600 TV. 1123 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:03,600 Oh yeah. 1124 00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,080 I don't remember why that was. 1125 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:06,080 I remember that. 1126 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:07,360 But no, exactly. 1127 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,000 We started talking about what, what do we want this to be? 1128 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,120 We wanted it to be a segmented out show. 1129 00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,720 We wanted it there to be specific things. 1130 00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:24,080 And it was, we had talked to each thing about, and it was kind of a culmination of, culmination 1131 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,120 of everything we had talked about to that point. 1132 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,480 So I can, our regular scheduled programming that we're going to be next week. 1133 00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:34,360 So if you're new and you know, you're hearing this and you like, you're like, what the heck, 1134 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,440 they don't even have a schedule. 1135 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,160 It's like, it's like, we do have a schedule. 1136 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:39,480 Just check us out next week. 1137 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,360 So, but we have a segment. 1138 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,520 And as many of you know, it's jelly donut, which is our jail report. 1139 00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:51,880 And the biggest thing that we always talked about is Chris and I, man, we love looking 1140 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:56,920 at, and this is local to Augusta, Georgia, where it started off as, is they used to print 1141 00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:01,120 out in this little paper, you can buy it at the gas station, the jail report, and it had 1142 00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,260 goofy muck shots, goofy stories, stuff like that. 1143 00:58:04,260 --> 00:58:08,000 And you'd read some of these and be like, man, that's just absolutely outlandish. 1144 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,760 And then before you know it, in the course of this show, man, it's not just local, it's 1145 00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:13,760 everywhere, man. 1146 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,000 It's like, Florida's wild. 1147 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:20,720 We have had everything from the first one where the lady made her kid eat hot sauce to 1148 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:28,240 win the guy got assaulted with a McChicken chicken to, I mean, a lot of it is like food, 1149 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:35,600 but to where people stolen like 20,000 pounds of chicken wings, like, you're like, people 1150 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,840 get arrested and commit some crazy crimes. 1151 00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,320 So we were like, why not put that on a show? 1152 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,320 Like, that's interesting. 1153 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:43,320 Right. 1154 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,400 And you know, sometimes you never, sometimes you don't hear that. 1155 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,640 And sometimes it's just unbelievable stuff. 1156 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,000 Sometimes it's really just unbelievable stuff. 1157 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,440 And so we really wanted, we wanted that. 1158 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,320 We wanted what fries my donuts. 1159 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:56,840 And you know, we thought of the name. 1160 00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:00,160 We were like, you know, we need to do something like what grinds my gears. 1161 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:06,320 Because listen, every, every time in life or everybody in life has a time where or something 1162 00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,840 that's just aggravating the tar out of you. 1163 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,200 And it had, I just say aggravating the tar out of you. 1164 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:12,200 Yes. 1165 00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,720 And then you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like, you're like 1166 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:15,720 in a bag, bro. 1167 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:16,720 You're like, you're like in a bag, bro. 1168 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:17,720 And George came out, man. 1169 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:18,720 It aggravated his fire out of you. 1170 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:19,720 Farer. 1171 00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:20,720 Taur, that tar. 1172 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:21,720 Taur. 1173 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:22,720 Warsh, wash down in the creak. 1174 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:23,720 Yeah, I'm telling you. 1175 00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,960 So, but we really wanted to have that in there. 1176 00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:30,280 It just, it's always nice to be able to get your opinion out there, especially when it's 1177 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,600 something that makes you upset. 1178 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:37,640 And you know, it's, it's been a little interesting out of all the episodes that we've had. 1179 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:38,880 We do try to keep them. 1180 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:40,720 And this is something we talked about too. 1181 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:45,920 We do try to keep them, we're not trying to make anybody angry, but at the same time, 1182 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,640 opinions are going to hurt some people's feelings. 1183 00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:54,200 So we try to make it as to the point and hopefully you can understand my point, but if not, is 1184 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,200 what it is. 1185 00:59:55,200 --> 01:00:01,520 And, you know, a lot of that stuff we understood we had to be conscious about in this day and 1186 01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:07,320 age as well, which was kind of interesting comparatively to before because I'll tell 1187 01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:12,600 you this much, if we were to do like the Krispy Kreme show back then and kept it going and 1188 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,320 things like that, oh man, like I had no filter back then at all. 1189 01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,480 And it would have just not been very good. 1190 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,720 So let's skip to actually like recording it. 1191 01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:26,360 And the very first episode, I remember we, we actually recorded it on Thanksgiving night. 1192 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:30,960 I remember that because we were like, okay, we're going to record on Thursdays and Thursdays 1193 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,320 is kind of like our day to record it. 1194 01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,680 Sometimes we'll record on Fridays, but we're like, when do we want to release it? 1195 01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:41,600 And we were just like Monday morning, like that's the prime time to release it, right? 1196 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,120 So then we're like, okay, let's record it. 1197 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,760 Trying to figure out all the technical stuff, all that stuff. 1198 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,720 And I remember we were like so nervous, like so, so nervous. 1199 01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,400 And that definitely shows up in the first episode. 1200 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,400 So you're like, what? 1201 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,880 Yeah, no, absolutely. 1202 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:03,640 It does make me question what it would have been like if we want to start it with camera 1203 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:08,720 too, like how much more nervous we would have been, but no, we were incredibly nervous. 1204 01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:14,120 And don't get me wrong, the first episode was very good, but it was very, we were worried 1205 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,400 about getting canceled before we even had a show. 1206 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,560 Yeah, because like, oh man, like you never know what you're going to say. 1207 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,200 I mean, in the day and age, like, you're like, oh man, everyone's hyper sensitive. 1208 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,480 So like, what are we going to get canceled for? 1209 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:30,480 Well, and not just that, but like it's like the canceled portion of it. 1210 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:35,560 But we also just wanted it to be a family show to where it's not something that you 1211 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:39,520 have to worry about if your kids are in the room that you're listening to it, like, oh, 1212 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:40,760 he might say something a little off. 1213 01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,120 Yeah, he might say the F bomb or might be talking about this because I mean, there's 1214 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:50,360 so many podcasts where it's like, it's like you can't listen to it with your and it's 1215 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:55,720 not it's not that we're, I would say we're family friendly, but it's not like oriented 1216 01:01:55,720 --> 01:02:00,320 towards kids or a certain demographic is just like, hey, like we want you to be. 1217 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:01,560 We want to go on. 1218 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:02,560 Yeah. 1219 01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:06,240 And it want everybody to be able to understand it, whether you're a kid, whether you're 90 1220 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:08,440 years old, you know, you can enjoy it. 1221 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:13,120 And yeah, I mean, that's so kind of switching gears here and I since we're celebrating 1222 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,240 the three year anniversary of the podcast, right? 1223 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,680 Um, I know what you're going to say. 1224 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:24,200 Do you have a favorite episode in these three years favorite episode of all time from beginning 1225 01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:26,960 to end? 1226 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:32,200 And I have a few of them, but if I had to go off the top of my head, it's really, really 1227 01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:36,160 hard to top the first Christmas episode that we had. 1228 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:37,680 That is really hard. 1229 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:42,360 And like we've had, you know, other Christmas episodes, we're going to have another Christmas 1230 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,000 episode in a few weeks. 1231 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:49,760 But that first Christmas episode, I don't know why, but that is one like I even go back 1232 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:54,120 in the holidays and I will, I don't listen to every episode over again, but I will re-listen 1233 01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:55,120 to that one. 1234 01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,120 Every other one. 1235 01:02:56,120 --> 01:03:00,400 And it's really special to me too, because I think it feels the most like Micah and 1236 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,040 Chris where it's like, you could tell we put our creativity into it. 1237 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:05,920 Like our heart and soul was in it. 1238 01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,600 And it was just a fun episode to do. 1239 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,280 My other one, and you know, which one is the trashy Valentine's Day? 1240 01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:13,280 The first one. 1241 01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:14,280 Yeah. 1242 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,440 That one from beginning to end is like, it's great. 1243 01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:18,440 Like it's solid. 1244 01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:19,440 Yeah. 1245 01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:23,200 Maybe you guys hate that one, but that's my personal favorite. 1246 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,800 No, I, for me personally, I like it too. 1247 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:31,160 The intro to that one is probably by far my favorite intro. 1248 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:36,640 If you go back and listen to that one, if you haven't, that's, if you've ever listened 1249 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:42,240 to like slow jams or anything like that is like, and you have that or the oral confessions 1250 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,120 where it's like, you know, I chewed on you. 1251 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:47,360 It's like, we had that, we had that intro down, man. 1252 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,880 It was like, we listened to that way too much. 1253 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:57,520 Is there, are there certain doughnut segments that you were very surprised like, oh yeah, 1254 01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,440 like, I really enjoy this doughnut segment more. 1255 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,160 You were like, oh wow, like I didn't know that was going to be kind of a thing, but it really 1256 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,160 is. 1257 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,160 Yeah. 1258 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:08,160 The doughnut hole. 1259 01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,240 We kind of didn't talk about the doughnut hole segment this whole time. 1260 01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,440 And I think it's because it's changed quite a bit. 1261 01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:19,400 I mean, the initial intent, I remember sitting there talking about it and we were like, yeah, 1262 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,920 we want to do, I know it was sports stories from the past. 1263 01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,160 Like it was big sports stories from the past. 1264 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,800 In fact, the very first episode we were talking about Michael Vick, not the whole dog fighting 1265 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,040 incident, but just living in the Atlanta area. 1266 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:37,120 And when he double flipped out the fans and like what all that was and how that was kind 1267 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,880 of the betrayal and removal. 1268 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:43,640 And then kind of that final straw was when of course the dog fighting thing came out. 1269 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:45,760 But we talked about that whole thing. 1270 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,440 And really it was supposed to be kind of the sports stories from the past. 1271 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,840 Like that's what it really was supposed to be. 1272 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:53,400 And I think that lasted what? 1273 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,280 Like two, three episodes. 1274 01:04:55,280 --> 01:05:00,400 And then it became a, it might have only lasted the one because I don't think it was just 1275 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:01,400 the one. 1276 01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:05,800 And then it kind of on my end, it turned into like movie reviews for a little bit. 1277 01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:10,320 And then it was like, now it's like quizzes and games or whatever, but like, 1278 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:11,320 I don't know. 1279 01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:12,920 It was, it was one of those things. 1280 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:18,840 It kind of turned into, okay, whatever you want to talk about, like sometimes, because 1281 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,720 I've gone into like conspiracy theories. 1282 01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:28,560 I've gone into even like aviation conspiracy theories, like planes that have gone down, 1283 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,200 you know, some that you know, like the Emilia Earhart stuff, different ones like that. 1284 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,760 But it's, it's definitely turned into that. 1285 01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:34,760 But you're right. 1286 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:39,920 Here, lately it's turned into quizzes, multiple choice quizzes. 1287 01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:41,840 Most of the time. 1288 01:05:41,840 --> 01:05:47,320 We'd like to test each other's knowledge on stuff and, you know, what's, what's interesting 1289 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:53,080 about this show more than anything and not just segment wise, but more than anything. 1290 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:59,560 I even though we've been friends for, I don't know, you know, more than 20 years now, I 1291 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,760 learned crap about you on this show. 1292 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:07,120 Like literally we'll be talking about things, whether it's a free flow episode, whether it's, 1293 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:11,800 you know, talking about the donahole, answering questions, right? 1294 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,320 Sometimes I'll assume like, oh yeah, Chris knows about that. 1295 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,560 He's, no, no, no, no, no, or, oh yeah, I assume that he would be leaning this way or leaning 1296 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,640 this way on a subject or whatever. 1297 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,280 And I'm totally wrong. 1298 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:27,720 And he explains his side and I go, why didn't I think he would think that way, you know, 1299 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,000 but you'd be, you'd be learning things and I've, and there's even times where you'll 1300 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,000 tell me a story. 1301 01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:33,320 I'll go, when did this happen? 1302 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,320 Like I never heard this happen before. 1303 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,320 Like when did this even happen? 1304 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:41,720 I think part of that too is like sometimes like as people grow, sometimes our opinion 1305 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,120 on things change. 1306 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:48,440 But I think mine would probably be the old fashioned donahole and I love telling stories. 1307 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,000 I'm like, oh yeah, I forgot that that happened or this and that. 1308 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:57,480 What would you say is like one thing that maybe you've learned over these three years 1309 01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:01,560 or maybe one thing you've learned about yourself just kind of, because I mean, I feel like doing 1310 01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:06,080 a podcast for that long, you kind of learn things about yourself over that period of 1311 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:07,080 time. 1312 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,400 Biggest thing man is consistency. 1313 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:13,720 Like I, this is probably the most consistent thing I've ever done in my entire life. 1314 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:21,240 Like I know that sounds kind of whatever, but I mean, to do something for all these 1315 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:27,600 weeks for three years in a row and put out a product, whether it's good, bad or indifferent 1316 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,360 is a feat and a half. 1317 01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:31,160 Like I mean, that's, that's huge. 1318 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:35,960 I personally, if you would have went back in like, I would have believed you and said, 1319 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,360 like, okay, I can't believe we've had a podcast go on for this long, but it's also on believe. 1320 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:44,240 It's unbelievable because we're talking about, we've had deaths in the meantime. 1321 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,120 We've had life happen. 1322 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,160 We've had all sorts of things get thrown at us. 1323 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,560 We've in these three years, just like anybody else would. 1324 01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:55,200 And I'm not trying to be like, oh yeah, I'm up here on my horse. 1325 01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:56,360 We've done this for this long. 1326 01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:03,840 But to me, what's incredible is the fact that man, this is truly my hobby. 1327 01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,720 I know I could probably speak for Chris too. 1328 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:09,320 This is truly my hobby because I don't see this as a, oh man, I need to do this. 1329 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:10,560 I need to do the podcast this week. 1330 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,120 I got to put this stuff together. 1331 01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:13,440 I don't see any of that. 1332 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:19,960 It is a normal part of my routine that, so to answer your question, two things. 1333 01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,680 If you really enjoy doing something, it's not really work. 1334 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:29,320 And I like, I know that sounds so basic and whatnot, but there are very few things in 1335 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:33,760 my life and anybody's life that you do willingly. 1336 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:34,760 That's like, man, you know what? 1337 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:36,720 That's actually a pretty darn fun thing to do. 1338 01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:38,840 And I'll do it all the time. 1339 01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,920 And then two, consistency. 1340 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,920 The consistency aspect has carried over into other areas of my life. 1341 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:50,920 It's like, wow, if I'm consistent at, because it's given me, I don't know about you, Chris, 1342 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:55,640 but it's given me the idea in my mind of, okay, well, if that worked out because of consistency, 1343 01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:01,680 what happens if I'm consistent and build other habits into my life every single week or every 1344 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,520 single day or whatever, right? 1345 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:05,280 And before you know it, it's built in. 1346 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,000 You're not like this podcast. 1347 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,720 Again, it's not just a hobby, but I don't really think about it during the week. 1348 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,480 Like there will be times where I'll go, yeah, I'll write this down because I'm going to 1349 01:09:14,480 --> 01:09:18,640 put this down, but I don't really sit here and think about it. 1350 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,000 It's a normal part of the routine. 1351 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:25,120 And so it's, I never thought it would be that. 1352 01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:30,240 I always thought that it was going to be, and not to sound like this, but a lot of things 1353 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,160 are tasked on a list, right? 1354 01:09:32,160 --> 01:09:33,160 It's okay. 1355 01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:34,160 It's Thursday again. 1356 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:35,160 Got to do the podcast again. 1357 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:39,320 And it's not that way and that thing, that's probably the most surprising thing and biggest 1358 01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:42,640 things that I've learned about with consistency and that sort of thing. 1359 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:43,640 Yeah. 1360 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:47,760 I think I've also seen kind of going back to what you said, like I've seen the growth 1361 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:52,240 on both ends because I'm like, I go back and listen to episodes from like season one 1362 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:53,240 early on. 1363 01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:54,840 I'm like, why did I say that? 1364 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:56,320 Or like, why did I think that? 1365 01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:00,800 And you're kind of like, oh, because I was going through XYZ at the time, it's like, we've 1366 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,200 had career changes. 1367 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:03,840 Like you've gotten married. 1368 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,520 I've gotten married. 1369 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,720 We've seen a whole bunch of stuff has happened in those three years. 1370 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:15,080 And it's just like, well, but I think it really learns, it helps you learn about yourself. 1371 01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:19,480 And it's really helped me communicate better, I think. 1372 01:10:19,480 --> 01:10:26,240 Just because I'm more mindful of what I say or how does this come off or this and that. 1373 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,080 It's helped me be more concise as well. 1374 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:34,920 I have a problem with over speaking and not landing the plane, so to say. 1375 01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:35,920 Me? 1376 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:36,920 No. 1377 01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:38,680 But you know, it's one of those things. 1378 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:42,160 Sometimes it's hard to, you know, you circle the airport with your words and never land 1379 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:46,040 the plane, you know, but it's one of those things. 1380 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,400 This is really kind of taught me. 1381 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,760 And like you said, too, it's really cleaned up. 1382 01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:53,040 How do I put this? 1383 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,200 Some of those filler words, I noticed a lot more in the beginning. 1384 01:10:56,200 --> 01:11:01,160 I said, um, and there was a lot more pauses and there was a lot more, you know, and I've 1385 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,320 noticed a lot, it's a lot more polished. 1386 01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:07,360 I'm not, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm gonna say this too. 1387 01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:12,520 Something else that's kind of weird and something that I was not expecting in a big level of 1388 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:20,040 growth, you know, to be real, the first season, I wouldn't listen back to myself. 1389 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:24,400 And I was a really harsh critic of myself and would kind of how Chris would say like, 1390 01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,960 oh man, I don't know why I said that and whatnot. 1391 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,320 I mean, I would nitpick the tar out of my, I guess I said, tar, geez. 1392 01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,480 What's going on with me today? 1393 01:11:33,480 --> 01:11:38,520 I might not tell you what, but not already. 1394 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,240 But I don't know. 1395 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:44,280 I, for me, that's a big change too. 1396 01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:45,600 That's a big difference. 1397 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,480 So I don't know. 1398 01:11:48,480 --> 01:11:52,080 I have, I know you didn't really have that. 1399 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:58,440 I was, no, it was still hard for me to listen to myself. 1400 01:11:58,440 --> 01:11:59,440 It's hard. 1401 01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:04,840 And I'm going back and watching these, like me being on the microphone and like, that's 1402 01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:05,840 okay. 1403 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:10,560 Like not too bad, but like if I ever have to do teaching or like announcements or whatever, 1404 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:14,600 like I can hear myself, but I can't go back and watch myself. 1405 01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:18,440 Like I can watch myself without audio, but I can't watch and hear myself at the same 1406 01:12:18,440 --> 01:12:19,440 time. 1407 01:12:19,440 --> 01:12:23,520 Like I'm kind of noticed how it's going to be, but I totally get that because you're 1408 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,000 like, oh man, like I can't believe I said this or I said that. 1409 01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:33,360 I think the benefit since like I've edited it, like I've been able to edit out the parts 1410 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:34,440 that I don't like. 1411 01:12:34,440 --> 01:12:37,760 So like maybe that's a little bit better for me because I'm like, oh yeah, I didn't like 1412 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:38,760 that I said this. 1413 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:41,680 So I'm going to edit this out. 1414 01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:43,440 But I don't know. 1415 01:12:43,440 --> 01:12:48,800 My question, I think I have two more before we kind of land the plane because we're looking 1416 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:49,800 back on three years. 1417 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,840 Is there anything that you would have liked to change? 1418 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:58,200 Or I mean, we did started doing free flow episodes and I know that was a little bit 1419 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,400 of a pivot, but I think it's still great. 1420 01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,040 Like it's still the back and forth is still good. 1421 01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:06,080 So it's not that we've changed the donut box completely. 1422 01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:09,080 We've just kind of, I feel like we've adapted, but is there anything that you were like, 1423 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:14,160 man, I wish we would have done this earlier or we wish we would have changed this or we 1424 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,080 would have done this differently or. 1425 01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:23,720 And I do think I wish we probably would have done free flows earlier. 1426 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:32,880 I know that's the one you've just, mainly because like the structure was good, but something 1427 01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:39,000 about doing a free flow, a structure, a free flow, a structure, it works really, really 1428 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,000 well. 1429 01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:44,520 I really enjoy our free flow episodes like this where we're just kind of talking because 1430 01:13:44,520 --> 01:13:50,360 it, I mean, you, you catch Chris and I playing PlayStation on a Friday night and this is 1431 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,080 a lot of what you're going to get. 1432 01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:53,960 Like it's, it's pretty much the same. 1433 01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:54,960 A lot more jokes. 1434 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:55,960 Yeah. 1435 01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:56,960 With a lot more jokes. 1436 01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,520 We get the jokes and we're trying not to do the first thing that we did with the first 1437 01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:02,600 variety show where you don't get any of the jokes. 1438 01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,480 So yeah, you're welcome. 1439 01:14:04,480 --> 01:14:08,560 You don't want any of the inside jokes that you want to understand. 1440 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:14,240 So it's, I don't know if I would necessarily change anything else though, man. 1441 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:21,560 It'd be real because there's been, so going back to how I couldn't listen to myself, come 1442 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,080 to season two and season three. 1443 01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:28,800 It's a, it's a lot easier and I think a lot of that has to do with personal growth, but 1444 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:34,960 I think a lot of that as well, not just being prim and abolished, but I don't know. 1445 01:14:34,960 --> 01:14:38,960 This has also kind of helped me not care so much about what people think because it's 1446 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,080 one of those things of especially going on camera. 1447 01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:43,240 I'll be honest guys. 1448 01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:50,600 I was not on board with this at all for quite a while, but the thing is it's like, because 1449 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:51,600 what are you doing? 1450 01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:55,080 Not just the podcast, but you're opening yourself up for scrutiny. 1451 01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:58,960 I mean, you, you are, especially when you're putting yourself out online. 1452 01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:00,720 I mean, I guarantee you we're going to have haters. 1453 01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:01,720 I guarantee it. 1454 01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:08,880 But at the same time, again, if, if I have such a problem with the haters online, that's 1455 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:13,360 a lesson that I have to learn about how to not care about what those people think because 1456 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,080 they're probably just jealous of our podcast and the fact that we have a successful podcast, 1457 01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:18,080 right? 1458 01:15:18,080 --> 01:15:19,080 And stuff like that. 1459 01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:25,120 And so it's interesting because this has taught me that, um, and it's also taught me 1460 01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:26,120 to get out there. 1461 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:30,840 I mean, shoot, I did last week in aviation for a little bit, got out there with that 1462 01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:36,160 and wasn't expecting to, but you know, the skills that I learned from here translated 1463 01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:37,160 over there as well. 1464 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:43,520 Yeah, I think, um, kind of going back to the, I know you were very nervous about going on 1465 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:48,680 camera and there were a few factors of that and they're all legitimate. 1466 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:55,160 And so, uh, I think, I think going on camera, there was one doctor that I was kind of like, 1467 01:15:55,160 --> 01:16:00,600 yeah, like I totally understand why he doesn't want to go on camera and all that stuff. 1468 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:05,440 And so I think it's a big step because it is one, like once you're on camera and stuff, 1469 01:16:05,440 --> 01:16:07,560 like you're opening up your life, like, right? 1470 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,320 Cause it's not just one thing to hear you. 1471 01:16:09,320 --> 01:16:14,840 It's one thing to see you and like see your facial, I don't know, whatever, but like, 1472 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:15,920 I totally get it. 1473 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:21,960 And so like, I'm not, I think seasons one through three were a good practice to kind 1474 01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:24,320 of like get it polished and everything. 1475 01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:29,160 And by no means are we having like tens of thousands of listeners, but when you constantly 1476 01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:34,440 chip away at something like you're going to be successful, um, no matter what. 1477 01:16:34,440 --> 01:16:36,160 And so I think it's a good thing. 1478 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:37,320 I'm excited for it. 1479 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:42,320 And then my last question, and then we'll kind of land that plane, but what are you excited 1480 01:16:42,320 --> 01:16:44,960 for for season four? 1481 01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:50,840 Uh, the exposure and how much we're going to get out there, um, to our original OGs. 1482 01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:52,240 We appreciate you. 1483 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,160 And I hope you're enjoying what's going on here. 1484 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,120 But I think the biggest thing is we've got to blow up. 1485 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:00,880 Like I, I feel it in my bones. 1486 01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:02,560 I feel, I feel it. 1487 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,760 You know, in your spirit, it's been marinating my spirit. 1488 01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:07,760 Yeah. 1489 01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:13,920 It's, it's one of those things of I, I, there's a lot of different means that we can do as 1490 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:20,080 far as, um, you know, getting a lot of this content out there, getting our faces out there. 1491 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:24,720 And you know, it's, we have a good fan base, a good user base right now. 1492 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:30,360 We love you guys, but we want this to be trash cane nation like we talked about. 1493 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:32,840 We've got it, we've got a lot of big things coming. 1494 01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:41,320 And I mean, kind of what we've talked about before with everything, imagine the creative 1495 01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:48,680 abilities and imagine the creativity that we can put out with a huge budget with people 1496 01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,800 to do all the producing for us. 1497 01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:54,600 And I'm not saying like I'm enjoying every leg of the process to get there because we 1498 01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:55,960 will get there. 1499 01:17:55,960 --> 01:18:00,360 But at the same time, that, that's what I'm excited for is because we're going to be getting 1500 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:04,400 to a place where we can just talk. 1501 01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:05,400 That's all we have to do. 1502 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:06,400 We can just talk. 1503 01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:11,960 We have everybody else not just take care of everything, but we can let our ideas, we 1504 01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:15,120 don't have to take our time with editing and things like that. 1505 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:19,760 We can literally just be creative and let our creative and that's all we do. 1506 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:24,440 And I think that's, and you know, maybe that's further than just this year and this season, 1507 01:18:24,440 --> 01:18:26,480 but I think that this is a big start to that. 1508 01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:27,880 I think it's a big start to it. 1509 01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:32,840 Yeah, I'm excited to get to be able, because like there are a lot of times where like, 1510 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,480 Mike and I will interact and I'll be like, what? 1511 01:18:35,480 --> 01:18:39,040 And like my, I don't know, something or he'll tell a joke or whatever. 1512 01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:43,240 But I feel like our free flow episodes have a lot of us, not that we weren't ourselves 1513 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,120 before, but it's kind of like letting that wall down and you're just kind of like, okay, 1514 01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:51,120 I'm going to crack a joke and like, if you get mad, you get mad, right? 1515 01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:55,640 Like there are things like, I'm not going to go out and say crazy stuff because like, 1516 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,960 obviously I'm a man of the cloth and like, you know, I don't want like, I don't want 1517 01:18:59,960 --> 01:19:00,960 to get fired. 1518 01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:03,880 Not that I would say those things anyway, but I'm kind of like, bro, like I'm not going 1519 01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,280 to go wild and out. 1520 01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:10,520 So this is not going to be the after dark version of the Doughnut Box Pocket. 1521 01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:11,960 Although we have to use that idea. 1522 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,360 Like what if we did an after dark version, but we're not going to do that. 1523 01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:17,360 Yeah. 1524 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,360 Not, not, not officially. 1525 01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:21,360 I'm joking. 1526 01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:22,360 I'm joking. 1527 01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:23,360 We're not doing it. 1528 01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:27,840 I'm just going to do it. 1529 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,480 But yeah, man, I think it's been a great three years, man. 1530 01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:33,680 Like again, I can't believe it's been three years. 1531 01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:34,680 Time flies. 1532 01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:40,880 Like again, we've seen, we've had celebrations, we've had heartaches, we've had changes and 1533 01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:41,880 growth. 1534 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:46,600 And so I'm just excited to see like what season four is going to be like. 1535 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:47,600 And thank you guys. 1536 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,880 If you guys have been with us from the very start, please put it in the comments. 1537 01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:52,880 Like, thank you guys so much. 1538 01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:58,120 And I got to give a shout out to Micah for really taking the initiative and doing the 1539 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:02,680 aviation society and putting out all the plane videos and all that. 1540 01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,560 So as much as I make fun of him for it, like there is a community out there. 1541 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:09,880 And so if you're watching because you're part of that community, like thank you. 1542 01:20:09,880 --> 01:20:12,080 I don't get your obsession, but it's okay. 1543 01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:13,080 Yeah. 1544 01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:14,440 We get to be crazy about planes. 1545 01:20:14,440 --> 01:20:15,440 Yeah. 1546 01:20:15,440 --> 01:20:16,440 He don't get it. 1547 01:20:16,440 --> 01:20:17,440 It's okay. 1548 01:20:17,440 --> 01:20:19,040 He doesn't get WWE either. 1549 01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,320 So it's, it's, it's a fair trade off. 1550 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:22,880 It's a fair trade off. 1551 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:26,280 We, we, uh, we let each other have our own little worlds. 1552 01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:27,280 You know me. 1553 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,280 Yeah. 1554 01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,720 So I think, uh, I wanted to tell them where to go to, uh, find it. 1555 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:32,720 Yeah. 1556 01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:33,960 So you were talking about Avery society. 1557 01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,240 It's actually changed its name over to trash can travel. 1558 01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:37,680 We've, you know, my bad. 1559 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,240 No, it's all good. 1560 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:44,240 We, uh, so we trains that over the trash can travel or can I say that three times really 1561 01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:47,040 fast trash can travel, trash can travel, trash can travel. 1562 01:20:47,040 --> 01:20:48,920 That's kind of a tongue twister. 1563 01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:49,920 Yeah, it is. 1564 01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:51,880 Um, I didn't do that on purpose. 1565 01:20:51,880 --> 01:20:54,560 Um, but so you got trash can travel. 1566 01:20:54,560

01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:25,280 I don't know. 1579 01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:27,520 I'll do anything that I don't tick talk now. 1580 01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,240 I know, but it's the wave of the future. 1581 01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:33,960 Everybody's like the wave of the future and China spying on you. 1582 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,160 So I mean, but it's on you already. 1583 01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:39,880 So it's whoever you want to spy on you pretty much. 1584 01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:41,920 What do you want to spy on you? 1585 01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:44,640 You know who does it spy on you though? 1586 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:45,640 The Starship. 1587 01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:47,600 I think it's from Jefferson. 1588 01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:51,080 I think the Starship is time to take us out. 1589 01:21:51,080 --> 01:22:13,080 I'm Chris and I'm Michael and this has been the box. 1590 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:35,100 I cannot speak anybody out there but I am still worried about you. 1591 01:22:35,100 --> 01:22:37,620 Because it's you. 1592 01:22:37,620 --> 01:22:42,620 Put your hands in my hand, baby, don't ever look back 1593 01:22:42,620 --> 01:22:47,620 Let the wound around us just fall apart 1594 01:22:47,620 --> 01:22:52,620 Baby, we can make it if we're heart to heart 1595 01:22:52,620 --> 01:22:57,620 And we can build a street together 1596 01:22:57,620 --> 01:23:07,620 Stay in this dark forever
