This week on the Donut Box podcast, we talk about how Chris saved me from a wedding day disaster.
And on the jail report, find out a real-life past and furious situation where an escaped convict stole a semi truck carrying not one, not two, but ten brand new Chevrolet Corvettes valuing over $1.25 million.
What's next? The Rock and Jason Statham gonna show up in this mess or what?
And then what else are we talking about Chris?
See, Micah is a real true diehard office fan because we're gonna see if he can do the third quiz in a row where he goes 10 for 10 on his office trivia.
Micah loves the office, but let's see.
Yeah, I love the office. I'm a little nervous because later seasons have got me a little shaky, but I will say this.
What fries my donuts, we're gonna talk about really fires me up about post COVID and how much people can be just horrible, especially at the airport.
All that and more, including potentially Chris's upstairs neighbors, bullying or whatever they're doing up there all on this episode of the Donut Box podcast.
Let's go ahead and roll the intro.
Hi, I'm Micah and I'm Chris and we've been friends for over 20 years.
Surprisingly, we haven't killed each other yet.
Years ago, we started our own variety show and it's now that we're adults, we decided to give it another try.
And you know what it says like in the movie, life is like a box of donuts.
You never know which one's gonna be the next one.
Wait a second. It's chocolates. Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
Oh, right.
Okay, well, let's start the show.
This is the Donut Box podcast.
All right, man. Hey, we're back for another episode of the Donut Box podcast and we are so happy that you're joining us again for episode number nine of the Donut Box podcast.
And man, I am so excited.
We're almost double digits of this season and this season is going really, really great.
Again, we're here on camera. If you're listening to us over on Spotify or via audio, we do encourage you to come over to our YouTube channel, which is at the trash can network at the trash can network, or you can search us over at the Donut Box podcast.
And that is D O U G H in UT box podcast.
We made it a little complex, but hey, that's the correct spelling in our mind of donut in my mind.
So, you know, what, whatever you want to say, the correct spelling and Michael, before we get started, I have to have to go on the record and have to confess something to you and all the donut box.
Oh, geez.
Oh man, it's a confession. I'm not expecting what are you confessing here, sir. I officially got an iPhone.
No way. No way. Okay. So I know that, you know, a lot of people may not know Chris and things like that. But man, he has been an Android person. As long as I've known him, what what prompted you to get an iPhone?
My man.
So I am starting a new job and pretty much everything over there runs on Apple and Mac and iPhones. And I didn't want to be the guy that was like, Oh yeah, here, let me come in with my Android and mess everything up. And so it was just easier for me to switch.
But this is like my first Apple product I have bought for myself.
And I own so it's different. It's a whole new world for me. So can y'all imagine like, I'm almost, you know, I'm in.
I'm not going to say my age on the on the podcast, but like, I've gone all this way and I've never owned an iPhone, which is iPhone.
So I've actually only owned one iPhone. But then again, this was a long time ago. I'll put it to this way. This is the iPhone five s. So that should tell you about how long ago that was.
Then again, you know, they come out with new products. It seems like every six months. So I think they're what on 16 now what?
Yeah, 16 pro or whatever. I got generic. You just got a basic one. Yeah. So it's different, but I had to tell you guys on the podcast and so y'all can make fun of me and be like, what this guy's never listen.
Listen, I'll tell you this much. It's interesting how much and we're going a little rabbit trail before we get started on a regular scheduled program.
But I'll tell you this much. There is a legitimate beef between Android and iPhone owners. I don't know what it is, but I know a ton of people. I work in the IT tech industry, right?
And there are so many people who are in both camps. We love iPhone. We love Android. And I mean, this will get people into fights. It really will.
And so I do understand going to a new job if everybody's got an Apple and especially if all of their computers and everything else is Apple related. I mean, it's you kind of I wouldn't say you don't have a choice, but at the same time, I do understand it for sure.
You don't want to be that guy. You know what I mean? Listen, listen, I'm not going to judge you, but I'm still an Android guy myself and we're not going to go into it. But that's okay.
So a little shocking that you got a iPhone, but hey, that's cool on your end. But welcome to the Donut Box podcast if we already haven't said so already.
We are back to our regular schedule programming and our we've been kind of switching up week to week if you haven't seen to this point.
And we have been going free flow episode where we've been talking about either asking each other questions or just going into whatever we wanted to talk about a regular schedule programming as we have each individual segment.
And so we're going to go through all of our segments today. And our first segment is the old fashioned donut, which is a story from our past. And as we alluded to in the intro, we are going to talk about how Chris saved me from a potential disaster on my wedding day.
So Chris, do you want to start this story? You want me to start this?
Yeah, so I got to set this up. I got to I got to do the setup for it. So Micah's bachelor party, his official bachelor party. It was just me, him and a couple of his cousins, right?
And so Micah Micah was pretty much like, Hey, low key, don't want to do anything that crazy, right? Like Micah Micah is of the mindset like, I like, yeah, like maybe a couple days before maybe we'll go out have a good time.
Like the night before don't want to get messed up before my wedding. So this was probably two, three days before. And so he was like, I just want to go to a minor league baseball game and I want to go to dinner.
And that's it. And so I remember his cousins being like, wow, like you, you don't want to get drunk like this and that. And again, Micah has talked about how that part of his family is very conservative, very like pious.
So like even just having a very religious in public is kind of considered a sin. So we just were like, yeah, let's go. And I remember these, these folks are from Mississippi.
So they've never gotten to experience Texas culture. And so we went to central Texas and there's a lot of we can say we're over in San Antonio and San Antonio is I hate to cut you off.
But San Antonio is very much of the Hispanic culture. We are very close to the Mexican border. So there is, I mean, really and truly this was Mexico first. I mean, this area was all Mexico first.
So there's a lot of Hispanic culture, a lot of Mexican culture. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. And there's nothing wrong with that. That's nothing wrong. And continue. I'm sorry. I just had to send out to you.
So, so these Mississippi boys were in for quite a shock. So in Mississippi, there are a lot of racial tensions, I would put it that way. And so there, even though, you know, there's most is predominantly white and then African American, but they have a lot of tensions,
you know, it's not spoken. There's like, you can feel the underlying tension when you go to the state. Actually, we were just recently there. And while we were there, you could feel that you can feel the tension.
So they're coming into this Hispanic heritage, right. And so we're at the baseball game. And, you know, it's Hispanic heritage. So there's like the chancla, there's to Hanum music playing, there's people like up and dancing and doing the grito.
And then there's like a puffy taco. Like that's like their mascot is the Henry the puffy taco. Yeah. And these boys look like they were like blown away.
Not a good way. Not a good way. They were like, they felt like a fish out of water. So they were like, what is going on? Like, why are these people dancing? What's the deal with the tacos? What's the deal with the chancla?
They were like, it made them feel uncomfortable. It was definitely culture shock. Definitely culture shock. So I remember like we went to the baseball game and it was fine and everything. And so we take, you know, we're about to go home and they're like, wow, like, you know, because Mike, I had a couple beers at the game, maybe two.
I think you maybe had just two beers. Yeah, maybe one beer. Yeah.
No, it was it was just two. And the big thing is so just just to kind of cut off in this. So I used to it's funny because I probably drank more before I was the age of 21 than I did after the age of 21.
Something about, you know, not being able to or it being illegal had a little bit of, you know, a bit to it. And so I'm not a big drinker now. You know, if really if I'm going to have a few it's going to be water too. Like I'm not looking to get messed up. Like I'm just not that guy.
Yeah, so I remember like, so my cat like two beers at the game. I don't think you even have one at the restaurant. You didn't have one at the restaurant.
And so I remember like, then be like, wow, Micah, like we thought we were going to have to carry you out on our shoulders. And like, I guess you have this reputation of being like this drunkard.
I don't know. Party guy. Yeah. Party guy. Yeah. So so we are, you know, we're getting everything ready. And you know, I remember like, we go and do like the rehearsal the next day and everything and mind you like,
we had to keep the wedding and the location like kind of under wraps, like because of certain people who can't act family situations.
Yeah, family, like some of his family, like because of the situation, they didn't get the invitation until they got there. Like they didn't know where this place was going to be.
And so I remember we did like the rehearsal, all that stuff. And so our friend, we used to work with him at boot corral. His name will aid him. We'll say Aiden, I guess. Or you want to say his full name? Do you care?
Well, we won't say his last name, but his name is Adrian. Shout out to Adrian because he's one of our OG Donut Box listeners. He's been listening to us probably since day one.
He's out there. He's out there in West Texas working in the oil field. So shout out to you, man. Big props to you and thank you for being such a such a great fan overall this time.
But yeah, no, Adrian, he came out there and I think he had to work or something like that. So he wasn't able to make the first bachelor party or like the bachelor party, the official one that I had.
He was only able to come in the night before and then he was going to leave pretty much right after the wedding and, you know, he had to go back to work and that was understandable. I understood that.
So he comes to town and think about this, you know, Adrian knows me from back in the day when I was a partier. Like I did party quite a bit.
And I'll admit he was he was pretty much my drinking buddy. I mean, he was kind of the guy when I was underaged. He had a house kind of out in the country.
And so we would go out there and we would throw some parties. We had some good throw downs when we worked with him and it was a really fun time.
Like, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that, you know, drinking with him was a bad thing. It definitely was not a bad thing.
But he comes into town and I love Adrian. I do. But he could be such a bad influence on me sometimes and he could pull me back into that mindset so fast.
And so the biggest thing that I did not want to do is I did not want to be screwed up on my wedding day. Like I did not want to be hungover.
I didn't want to have any problems on my wedding day. One, because, you know, any other day would have been OK.
And, you know, again, some people are going to go, oh, well, it's never OK to be drunk. And that I hear you.
But at the same time, the way that I feel about it, it's one of those things when your friend comes into town and you want to do that.
If he would have come a couple of days before even the day before the rehearsal, fine. I don't mind showing up hungover to the rehearsal and we have, you know, one night a party and or whatever.
I don't have a problem with that. But this was the night before the wedding.
And so I told he calls me and he says, hey, man, you know, I'm hanging out at this bar and, you know, he had been he had been drinking there for a little bit.
And he said, why don't you come out and have a beer? And I told him, I said, listen, man, you know, my wedding is tomorrow.
I don't want to get screwed up. Like I'm not trying to get screwed up. I'm not trying to party all night. I'm not trying to do any of this stuff.
And so this is where he's dangerous. I love Adrian. You're listening.
I know you're listening, man. I love you to death. But he, he, he always likes, he knows how to say things in just the right way to where you're going.
Okay, let's, let's do it. It's fine. And so what he told me is he said, oh man, you know, I haven't seen you and I wasn't able to be at the bachelor party.
So let's just come out here just for a beer or two and it'll be fine. That's how it started. That's how it started.
And so I end up going over there and it was this place called the Ru Pub. I remember that it's called the Ru Pub and it was an Australian pub.
And so we go over there and oh, it wasn't just one beer. Like I'm talking, this was like a tall be like, you know, the really, really tall beer.
Like it was what it was. So started off with that. And then we started ordering what is called Vegas bombs.
Have you ever heard of, I don't think I had never heard of Vegas bombs before I had been to this place.
For those of you who know what Vegas bombs are, it's a lot of alcohol is what it is. It is a lot of alcohol.
And so the hard part about being with Adrian, I love the guy. He loves like when you're with him, it's so fun to the point where it's like, you just forget about these things.
Whatever he puts in front of you, like, sure, we're all having fun. We're having a great time. Right. So just go ahead and drink it. It's fine.
And Adrian can drink a lot like before he gets to the point where he's like messed up. Like he can drink a good bit.
And there's no problem with that. For me personally at that point, especially like even now, right, I may have a drink with my wife's grandfather at times, but it's a drink, right.
So you have to think about my tolerance level.
Well, that's one thing like make you forget what your tolerance level is because it's like, Hey, I'm hanging out with Adrian and like Adrian can hand.
But like, yeah, so I remember like the original plan was for the five of us to go to dinner or like hang out because it was going to be like me, you, our wives and Adrian and then your wife wasn't feeling good.
She wanted to go home or I think she wanted to rest and then I was like,
Yeah, she wanted an early night before the wedding. Naturally. I mean, we had to get up early and we had a lot to do and you know, anytime before wedding or a big event, you know, my wife, she is a stressor.
Like I love her to death, but she does stress. And so she was, I wouldn't say stress, but she was to the point where she's like, Listen, I want to make sure that I'm well rested.
I want to make sure that everything is good. So she's like, I'm not going out.
Yeah. And so I was like, Okay, well, like me, me and my wife, we're going to go out to dinner or whatever. So I was like, Okay, so we're on the way back to the hotel.
I get this phone call from Micah and I'm like, because I knew you were like going out to like eat with whatever. I was like, Okay, cool. And so I get this phone call and it's Adrian Adrian's like, Hey, man, how's it going?
And I was like, bro, what's up dog? He's like, dude. And at this point, I haven't talked to this guy maybe 10 years probably.
Yeah. So I was going to say he hasn't talked to you in eight, 10 years at this point. Like you haven't talked to him.
Yeah. So I, so he's like, man, he was like, he's like, do you want to, and this, it's like 10 o'clock at night. And I'm like, bro, I was going to go home.
And I was like, or go to the back to the hotel. And he was like, man, I haven't seen you so long. Just come hang out with us for a bit kind of the same thing.
Like, it'll be cool. You know, we won't be out that long. And I was like, Yeah, like I was told my wife, I was like, Is it cool if I go? And she was like, Yeah, I go.
So I pull up, like I pull up. And at first when I walked in, I couldn't find y'all. And I went to the back room. I remember I just walked up to Micah and Micah has the most puzzled look on his face when I walk up.
He's like, what are you doing here? And I was like, bro, you told me from your phone.
The legitimate term that I use, and I'm going to not say the vulgar term because it was a little bit more vulgar than this because I'd had a few drinks at this point.
But I turned to Chris because the door is, I mean, is right here, like right to my, we were almost right directly by the door. And he comes from the other side of like he's walking up the other side of the bar, like, you know, the other end of the bar.
And so I turned to him and I'm like, what the heck are you doing? And that is the nice way of putting it. I was like, what the heck are you doing here, man? You know, and, you know, he was like, you called me off of your phone.
And I was like, I did like, what are you talking about? And so, because so piecing everything together from what from what I remember, that sounds really bad.
But from what I remember is, you know, Adrian was like, we got a party with some other people who else is in town, somebody else has got to like join us.
Like, what is Chris doing? And I was like, well, he's out with his wife or whatever. And I had left my phone at the bar.
And I guess I left it unlocked or something or maybe I even gave it to him. I don't know. I, to be real with you, I don't know.
And so he called Chris. Chris was a buddy. He showed up. And at that point he's like, oh man, he screwed up because I was pretty, I was pretty messed up at that point.
Luckily for me, though, I did, I was, I was thoughtful. And for every drink that I had, I had down to water at the same time, just to make sure because I was like, listen, I'm not going to do this.
But Adrian, God love him. He's like, listen, it's tradition on a wedding night. We got to go party. Like, we got to go party. We got to go to the club.
Like, we got to, we got to really like all night long, like party. And I was not about that. I was like, bro, that might have been me 10 years ago.
But now, like my wife will kill me if I show up tomorrow after an all night rager like that. Like there's no way that I could do that.
And I just remember like, I remember he ordered Chris a drink. Chris doesn't drink, right? He's a, he's a pass. He don't drink.
This should tell you how good of a friend he is. He doesn't drink, but he showed up to the bar because I called him.
And so he gets the drink and we all take this drink, right? Apparently Chris didn't take it.
I took, I took, I took like a little sip of it and then I did like the, I did like, hey, and then I did like the, I made sure I took the shot.
And I was like, Hey, bro. But I remember you being like, I don't know if this was when I first got here or maybe a little after or maybe when Adrian went to the bathroom, but you were like, thank God you're here.
You got to get me out of here. Like you were just like, bro, I got to go home. Like, and I was like, okay.
Cause what's harder here as much as I love Adrian. And again, I know you're listening and I love you to death, but it was one of those things of like, if it was the night before, fine.
If it was the day before that, no big deal. I don't care. We have an all night rager. It's no big deal.
But the thing was, it was like the night before my wedding and we also had to pick up my wife's wedding dress because it was at her grandparents house.
And so it was one of those things is like, we still got things we got to do.
We still got to pick up this dress and that was imperative for the wedding the next morning, right?
I didn't see the dress, but it, of course it was in the big thing.
And so we were in coordination with her uncle and everything else to get this dress and all this other stuff.
And so he was like, and I'll be honest with you, I love Adrian to the point where I'm not going to say no to the guy.
Like I'm not going to say no to the guy. If he's like, let's go, let's go clubbing. If it wasn't for Chris, I'd have been like, yeah, no, no, no.
Okay, fine. Yeah, whatever. Let's go have some fun, right?
Because Adrian is just such a fun guy. Like I love him to death. Like he can make anything fun.
I'm just going to take a side note. When we worked at the bootcrow, the dude can make anything fun.
He can make stocking shelves fun. I don't know how he can do it. He can make anything fun.
So you just want to hang out with him. You want to go and party with him.
Like it's just, it's just what you want to do.
And again, if it was even the day after, totally fine.
Like, but since it was the night before the wedding, it was like, man, I can't do this.
Not just that, but we had to be at the venue at seven in the morning.
And so I knew like, okay, and Chris knows me. I am not a morning person, especially after a night of partying.
Like I am no good to anybody. Okay. Like I'm not good to anybody.
I knew I had to be dressed ready because Christopher was going to come pick me up and, you know, take me to the venue and I needed to make sure of that.
Not to mention, so I had also written my vows digitally.
So like I wrote them on the computer and my plan was, okay, I'm going to transfer them onto paper.
Because of course you don't want to like pull out your phone, like read your vows on your phone.
It's a lot better if you have like the paper version of it, right?
And so I still hadn't done that either. So there was, there was things to be done is what I'm saying.
Like there was the dress pick up, there's vows, there was all this stuff.
And so Chris really helped me out because, you know, it was like, oh, let's, let's go rage.
Let's go have some fun. Let's go do this. And Chris was like, nah, man, nah, man, let's like, let me take you home.
Let me take him home. Like he's, he's already screwed up.
And so finally Adrian Adrian kept pushing and he was like, man, he was like, I feel like somebody's got to go party for us though.
I was like, yeah, bro, you go be the representative, bro.
I remember like, I told him, I was like, man, like we got, I was like, man, we got to get out.
Like we got to get this guy home. Like, well, I even, it's, it's interesting because I even felt sorry.
I like, I was like apologizing to him like, bro, I'm such a square now.
Like I used to be able to party like this, but it's like, even if you would have showed up yesterday,
I don't mind showing to my rehearsal, like, you know, a little hungover, whatever.
It's just like, I just can't do that. I just can't do that right now and everything. And so we finally talked him into okay.
And he's going to go do his thing. Chris is going to take me home.
And so Chris drove me over to Megan's grandparents house, my wife's grandparents house and ended up, we got the wedding dress and everything like that.
And then we ended up going home. And I'm glad that we did because the moment I lived on a second floor apartment,
and I remembered like climbing the stairs and the moment I got inside, like I got the, you know, I got drunk sick.
And so ended up getting really, really sick. Luckily again, for those of you who don't know if you're, you know, if you're party animals out there and you're listening to the Donal Box podcast,
water is your best friend. The only reason that I was okay is because I chased every drink down with water at the same time.
The biggest thing about alcohol is in hangovers and such is because you're dehydrated. And so if you follow that up with water, and so that is the only saving grace and why I was okay the next morning.
So I remember waking up the next morning, I woke up on time, of course, because it's a very important event in my life.
And so I woke up early, I got ready. I felt really, really good. And Chris came and picked me up. And I remember getting to the venue and the first thing that I remember this should tell you like,
shout out to Adrian, man, he's a party animal. I don't know how he does it. He was there before we were. And he was dressed, ready to go smelled great.
And he had been out all night, man, he had been out all night party and he partied for us and he told you know, he was like, yeah, man, I went out and you know went to the clubs and and met a met a bunch of friends and everything like that.
And I was just mine. It just mind blows me every time of how he can just do that all night and I can't do that dude, I've never been able to be able to do that.
Like if if I get screwed up like he does, there is no way the next few days that I'm even operational. Like there's no way. And so he showed up. He was on time and he was he was doing great.
It's just it's insane to me, but because did I see many, I felt good that morning. I didn't feel like when you pick me up, you were good.
You were good. You were you were really worried the night before that you weren't going to make it. And I was like, bro, I promise you, I was like, you're get to your wedding. I said, you may not be dressed, but I said, we'll get you to your wedding.
Like, and that's why I think I think the verbage you use is like if I have to drag you there, like we'll get you there. Like, yeah, I was like already prepared to like wake up early because I woke up probably about that same time.
And I got texted him and I was like, bro, you awake. You good. He was like, yeah, I'm good. So everything was all good. And Michael was fine. We had the wedding. It was great. The reception was great. Like it's all good.
Yeah, absolutely. So pretty much man, it was just love Adrian love love the time that he was trying to have with me because I told him I was like, bro, you know, I wish that because I left for my honeymoon the very next day.
Dude, if I was staying another day, sure. The night after, let's let's go party. Let's go out and have an all night, whatever deal.
You know, I saw I believe in everything in moderation. I'm going to go ahead and kind of sidetrack here. So Chris does not drink and that's his personal preference for me.
I believe that drinking is okay. Everything in moderation. I think that even if you want to go out and club for one night every few years, I mean screw it. That's not a that's not a big deal. Right.
Anything in moderation. I don't think that's a problem. And so it wouldn't have been any sort of thing if it wasn't the night before my wedding. I really wish that it was a few nights before and we would have had a great time.
But Chris really saved me. He's a true friend. He stepped in there and was like, nah, we're going to take him back. I'm glad he did. Like I said, I got fairly sick after after I got back home.
And it was like right when I walked in the door. So it was like perfect timing. Everything was just perfect timing. And so it was it was pretty crazy.
And so now I get to tell the story about how how my best friend saved me from being a a hungover mess on my wedding day and whatnot.
I didn't feel bad for for him because how we had our wedding and I'm just going to go into this for another second here. But how we had our wedding was in two parts and I did enjoy that part because we did the ceremony in the morning we took a break and then
because San Antonio, Texas in June is hot. It is hot as mess and even though we had it in the morning it was still fairly hot.
And so but we got done before it got super hot. We got all the photos done and everything like that. We reconvened in the evening time right about when the sun was going down.
Had a had a cool time. But by the time the evening rolled around since since my boy Adrian he'd been up all night.
I know I noticed like by the time that day was done he was starting to feel like I could tell he was tired. And so I know it was a very long day for him and whatnot but he was our representative he was our party animal that that live by care.
He was very carelessly through and he got to have a good time and whatnot love him to death when he comes back in town whenever that is you know give us all or man we'd love to hang out with you and whatnot.
But that's the story of when Chris saved me on the wedding day from being totally screwed up and not not showing up extremely hungover to my wedding.
Great times great times. There's always a story that comes out somehow some way but that's how you know true friends for sure.
Yeah absolutely. We are going to move into our next segment which is the jelly donut and that's the jail report.
So I'm excited for this man. What you were telling me in the intro I got to hear about this dude.
So as I alluded to in the intro this guy he wasn't an escaped convict but he literally just got out of prison like like literally minutes when this story happened.
And so he decided that the best way to get home was by hijacking a semi truck loaded with 10 shiny Chevrolet Corvettes worth over 1.25 million.
So worth over 1.25 million dollars. This happened in Arizona actually. So how this happened was the man befriended the driver at a truck stop near Tucson gained his trust then forcibly ejected him from the cab before speeding off with a luxury haul.
When deputies caught up the man ignored lights and sirens driving so recklessly that other vehicles had to pull over. Eventually he stopped and was arrested on multiple multiple felony charges including robbery and get this.
They pinned him with theft of not just one vehicle but 11 vehicles so they counted all 10 vehicles.
Wow. That's the truck as a theft. So that's that's why I could you imagine just getting out of prison and then be like yep I'm going to I'm sure he thought if he could get away he could probably unload all of them and make some money.
Yeah. Make a lot of money. I know what's what's hard for a lot of people once they leave jail prison that sort of thing. It's hard to get a job. So I know that a lot of people are probably thinking about that quick cash because most of the time you probably get out of jail and probably have absolutely nothing.
You have no housing. You have no whatever. So I can imagine that it's probably pretty lucrative if you're like oh man. But on the contrary that's a lesson to you about who you're befriending because there will be a lot of people who buddy up to you and especially if you have something valuable like that.
You ought to be very careful of who's befriending you and why they're befriending you.
Yep. The truck stop probably wasn't that far from the prison if he because he sounds like he went on foot. So that's something to be weary of for sure.
All right. This next one this happened in Vancouver Canada. So in a dramatic and bizarre attempt to escape police a man in downtown Vancouver spent over 45 minutes swinging from an overhead cable above a restaurant while throwing bricks and shattering windows below.
The impromptu acrobat even took off his shirt mid stunt turning his aerial antics into a performance no one asked for.
What kind of drugs was the old man like good grief. I don't know. Unmoved by offers of help the man eventually slipped while trying to rest his feet on another cable and landed on a strategically placed fire truck.
Police promptly took him in a custody and transported him for a medical evaluation 45 minutes. He had to have a lot of upper body strength or he had to be on drugs as you alluded earlier.
Yeah. That's that I'm thinking he had to have beyond some sort of drugs because you just I mean those crazy stuff meth that sort of stuff you can't.
I mean not like I would know but from what I've seen on cops and other episodes of various television shows. I mean it's one of those things where you don't feel anything like those folks are invincible and somehow they can just be holding on for 45 minutes.
But that's absolutely wild. Dude I can't. Wow.
It's wild. All right this next one. This also happened in Arizona. An Arizona man suspected of DUI was caught in a precarious situation literally when deputies found him with his fingers stuck in a can of white claw after crashing into a guardrail.
When approached the driver fumbled with the seltzer can and assured the officer that he was quote unquote totally perfect despite evidence to the contrary. The man was arrested on multiple DUI charges and and for causing damage to county property.
Thankfully no one was hurt but the county sheriff's office reminded residents to report possible DUI's because quote unquote hard seltzer excuses don't hold up in court.
Yeah. Here's my question man. And I talked to you about this before this might make me sound like an old country fill up. It's like what happened to bear. Why are people trying to hold white claw. What's up with all that hard seltzer.
What are you trying to do. I understand. I'm joking. But at the same time it's just like.
I was something I don't understand is drinking and driving and I'm not talking about being drunk and driving. I get that. But like open container laws. I've known some people who will crack open a beer and drive and you're going.
What what what are you doing. And so for this guy to be rolling around. I mean something must have gotten to him the Arizona Sun or something man. It's just like I that's something I personally don't understand. It's like all you have to do is get pulled over.
It's not even that you have to be drunk driving. All you have to do is get pulled over and you can get charged for open container. Yeah. And to get his fingers stuck. I don't know.
All right. All right. So this happened. A guy gets pulled over and he told a responding deputy quote you better have your doors locked. I like to steal cars moments later he hopped into the deputy's cruiser and took off kicking off a chase through the county.
The joyful ride the joy ride into in a pit maneuver and the suspect in cuffs proving he wasn't bluffing about his car stealing tendencies. Deputy shared the incident reminding everyone that some warnings should be taken very very seriously.
So at least he told him at least he said hey I hope you have your doors locked because guess what I like to steal cars and he was like yep I stole the car. I told you I was going to do it like I mean it's not funny but it's kind of comical.
The pride of some of these people man I mean it's funny because you hear about a lot of these criminals and they will straight up tell the cops exactly what they're doing.
Or even after the fact how many times have you heard some of these jail report stories that we've gone through some of these weeks and some of the times we've heard that they've been caught because they'll tell their cellmate exactly what they did or whatever you know or even tell the cops exactly what they did.
It's interesting that some of these criminals are just so keen on just telling on themselves. It's crazy to me.
It's wild. All right. Last one. All right. And you know how on the jail report we love when people we don't love when people have this happen to them. We just like the stories that tell me somebody got food thrown at them.
Yeah. Yeah. Somebody got food thrown at them.
Yeah.
Again I have the prefaces with assault is never OK.
It's never OK. But I love when people throw food at somebody. I don't like I saw somebody with food who doesn't love a good food.
And this happened in Tennessee. So you can take a guess.
All right.
Well I was I was expecting Florida. I don't know why I was expecting Florida but that's a that's an easy choice. Go ahead.
All right.
A Tennessee man is accused of throwing a biscuit at his ex-girlfriend's face and threatening to kill her and her new boyfriend.
News outlets report 45 year old Jeffrey was arrested on charges. Not my cousin Jeffrey. He's a little bit younger than 45.
Sorry. News outlets report 45 year old Jeffrey was arrested on charges including assault and public intoxication.
This happened in Nashville. So officers responded Sunday to report a domestic disturbance near a Nashville Kroger.
The woman told responding officers that Jeffrey threw the biscuit and punched a car carrying her and her boyfriend. She told the police that Jeffrey also screamed threats and racial slurs.
They also said the woman told authorities her boyfriend stepped in and stopped the situation from escalating further. Jeffrey was taken to a hospital after police say he repeatedly his head on patrol car windows while being arrested.
Maybe it is my cousin Jeffrey.
He had a lawyer. That's what it says. But he threw a biscuit and assaulted his ex-girlfriend with the biscuit.
So you're telling me that he didn't get the biscuit. So he gave her the biscuit. That's what I'm hearing.
Sure. Do you think it was a Popeyes biscuit?
I bet she was a Popeyes biscuit.
Popeyes biscuit. Yeah. I don't know man. Popeyes biscuit. It had to be some sort of fast food biscuit. Maybe some Bojangles or something. Right.
I want to do this on the podcast. And here we go. Maybe you guys put in the comments if you want to do this idea. I thought we both get a Popeyes biscuit. Right. And see how long or how much of it we can eat without having to take a drink.
Yeah. That dude. You know. Side note. That would be pretty hard man because those things. Yeah. Those are those things are dry. Like they're good. Don't get me wrong. But they are dry. You're right.
Yeah. I don't think I could make it through one without taking a sip of water bro. I think that would be tough. I think that's going to be our next idea. Well that was the jail report out of all of those. I know probably the biscuit one was your favorite which one was
Yeah. You already know. Yeah. You already know. It was the biscuit one. I don't know why this. You know. And again assault is never okay in any situation. But at the same time I I mean we've we've reported about assault with a chicken.
Like with pieces of chicken. We've like something about assault with food just makes it just funny. I don't know why I even saw in and we'll at some point probably include this. Have you ever seen the cops episode where the lady got hit in the back of the head with the can of corn on Thanksgiving.
You ever see that one. Yeah. That is that is just so funny. She gets waltzed in the back of the head with the can of corn. Again it's not funny but at the same time it's just like oh my gosh that's just that's just it's something else you know.
Well you know what else is something else the donut hole and as I alluded to in the intro we have the office trivia for you. Oh man I'm ready for this thing. I I'm hoping I'm hoping that I know most of these. I'm sure I will but yeah.
You said this is pretty in depth time for. Yeah. Really. Yeah I really tried to avoid the later seasons like eight or nine. So there's still like episode or sorry seasons one through seven.
So I think the second or the third season is probably my favorite. Yeah same here. I then again the first season of the office I've always had a special place in my heart and I think the reason being is because one they didn't know what they were doing.
They were going to be renewed to it was very very raw in comparison to the rest of the show. But the reason I was talking in the intro about not necessarily knowing about the later seasons. I know about a lot of the season up until Michael Scott left.
And then once Michael Scott left the show just wasn't the same. I didn't watch it when Joe Bennett came and you know Robert California and a lot of the other characters came. It just wasn't as good. So I maybe only watched it through once or twice like I have watched the entire thing all the way through but it's only been probably once or twice.
But up until Michael Scott left I know pretty well I feel like. All right well let's see if you can go 10 for 10 on these questions. All right let's do it. All right.
First question. What is Toby's daughter's name. A. Ashley B. Brittany C. Sasha or D. Pam. It's Sasha. It's Sasha. The only reason I remember that is it was like bring your kid to work day.
I remember that one and Michael Scott like actually got along with Toby's daughter which was weird because you know he hates Toby and you would think like OK you get along with his daughter and then I kind of thought that he would kind of have a better relationship with Toby than he did.
Yeah. All right. Number two Dwight used P. to write a secret letter like urine Dwight used urine to write a secret letter. Who's mug did he put the urine in. A. Jim's.
B. Ryan C. Andy or D. Phyllis. I'm gonna say Andy. Wasn't it Andy's. It's actually Ryan. It was actually Ryan. OK I got that one wrong. I do remember that episode though and the mugs were all I could tell you where the mugs came from.
It was all based on a party that Kelly had and she had made all the mugs with their faces on it for the people who came to the party. I do remember that but I didn't remember whose mug he used.
Sorry. Got me on that one. How many times did Aaron have lice as a child. A. 22 B. 17 C. 10 or D. 12.
I'm gonna say 12. I really don't know this one. I'm gonna say 12 is 22 22. I know she was not an orphan foster kid. Yeah she was a foster kid. Yeah. I remembered. I remembered that.
And then wasn't there kind of a bonus thing. Wasn't there a whole thing where they thought maybe Phyllis was her mom or maybe she was like her biological mom at one point or something like that.
I did think that. Yeah. All right. What denomination of Christianity does Darrell belong to. Is he a Episcopalian B. Baptist C. Lutheran or D. Presbyterian.
Dude I really don't know. You picked some hard questions. You were right about this being a really true office trivia. For some reason my mind won't say Presbyterian.
It is Presbyterian because it was a religion and then Pam goes yeah same religion and I'm like they're just a different denomination. Oh Christianity. Right. Exactly.
All right. OK. Number five. What year did Andy graduate Cornell. A 1994 B 1995 C 1996 or D 1997. I'm gonna say 96 or 96. It's 95 95.
That's a hard one. So Andy Bernard is actually one of my least favorite characters. A lot of people like him. I personally don't especially in the earlier seasons and naturally so because I'm a Christian.
I naturally so because he was the suck up guy like I just we've all known the people in the legitimate places that we've worked who have just been the suck up guy who have like graduated and they think they're all that in the bag of chips.
It's like dude you're in the same boat that we all are in and yeah you went to an Ivy League school but you still are doing the same job we all are so it doesn't it doesn't mean anything.
All right. Next one. Creed has a second passport to which country. A Sweden B Switzerland C Columbia or D the Netherlands. It's Columbia wouldn't it.
No but Switzerland Switzerland. OK. Yeah. I should have known that Creed Braden is one of my favorite characters on that show and it's funny because he's like a side character but he I think he's pretty funny.
For those of you who don't know him in real life. His name is actually Creed Braden and you know how they used to have the commercials for the DOSAC. He's like the most interesting man in the world.
If you look up everything he's done including acting in the office. He's had a very interesting life. In fact he had he was a part of like a hippie band that performed in Woodstock back in the 60s and all sorts of stuff.
So if you've never looked him up. Yeah give it a look because he's he's done a lot of stuff in his life.
All right. Number seven. What is the secret to Kevin's chili. You should know this. A. minced the garlic B. dice the tomatoes C. undercooked the onions or D. slow cook overnight undercooked the onions.
Isn't that right. Correct. Yeah. All right. Cook the onion bro that I don't know why it always makes me feel this how you know the acting is good but it makes me feel so bad when he dumps that bowl of chili all over the floor.
Like it just makes me feel so bad for sure. All right. Number eight. Michael buys concert tickets from Holly. Which concert was Holly supposed to go C. A. weird Al B. Bruce Springsteen C. Coldplay or D. counting crows counting crows it was counting crows.
Yep. Yep. All right. This one this is not related to the next two are not related to the plot but it's related to the actors. OK. So use your best guess.
John Krasinski who played Jim Mindy calling who played Kelly and Angela Kinsey who played Angela were all at one point interns for who David Letterman J. Leno Conan O'Brien or D. Jerry Seinfeld.
It's either A or B. I was a J. Leno maybe actually Conan O'Brien Conan O'Brien really. Yeah. Interesting. I didn't you know I I forget how long Conan O'Brien has been doing his his late night deal like he's really been around for a while.
But for me I guess this is kind of weird. I don't know how about you. I haven't really watched a lot of late night television but every I always think about Letterman and J. Leno and I think about them being for a long time and so Conan O'Brien still to me in my mind is like you were but at the same time he's been doing it for.
Yeah.
I was kind of the old one. All right. Last question and then there's a bonus question. OK. Rain Wilson who played Dwight originally auditioned for which character. Jim Halpert Michael Scott Stanley Hudson or Roy.
I'm going to say Jim Halpert wasn't then he auditioned for Jim.
No he auditioned for Michael Scott. Everyone knows him. John Krasinski auditioned for Dwight but not know that rain Wilson auditioned for Michael Scott Michael so it makes it much more funnier that he wants to take over the office.
All right. Yeah exactly. Last bonus question. What does what does Dwight keep an extra pair of in his car in case of special occasions. Bergen stocks.
OK. All right. There you go. I didn't mean to have to read the choices. So I yeah I did. I did OK. I think I got like 50 percent of them.
What do you think. Half and half. Yeah. So for how I end up those questions were I'll take 50 50. That's pretty good. And especially to this point I probably haven't watched the office in a year or two actually so it's pretty good for a year or two.
There you go. Well we're going to move into what fries my donuts and Micah I know you have a lengthy discussion on what fries your donuts but it lighten the rest of us.
All right man I'm going to try to keep it short because yes I can make this incredibly lengthy. I've talked about this before if you've listened to the audio version of this podcast before we have come out on video and the previous seasons.
But it seems like every time I go to the airport and fly and I had the opportunity to do so this past week. I experienced the same thing and this is primarily post covid.
And Chris maybe you can tell me if you've experienced these things as well. But post covid.
Man there is a lack of caring about other people that is just kind of astonishing. It really is. And what I mean by that is it's a lack of it's a lack of understanding empathy and then also it is a lack of self awareness as well.
Some of the biggest problems that I had in the airport that really fried my donuts this week one people listening to videos on their cell phones out loud on loud volume.
Why we live in a day and age where we have the best technology I mean look at what I'm wearing right now I have Bluetooth headphone right here that I'm listening to Christopher with right and look how small is you can't even tell it's in here right but it's it's great and I'm it's one of those things to
when you're on the planes the airlines we were flying on because I went through Atlanta and I was flying on Delta they give you earphones every flight you go on for free.
They give you the headphones they give it to you. Yeah people will still be on the plane listening out loud to their videos their tick tocks or whatever.
That is so rude and considerate. I can't stand that stuff man. I really can't because my thing is beyond the headphone portion of it.
Maybe it's just me but common courtesy in my mind is I recognize I am in a room full of people really and truly when you're on a plane you're in a metal tube full of about 100 people depending on what kind of plane you're on sometimes even more sometimes less but typically the flights we were on were about 100 people
or more and you're sitting there going OK I got 100 people around me. I'm not going to disturb them right. I don't want to disturb them. I want them not to disturb me either. It's a common courtesy thing.
And so when people are listening to things on their phone it's you're going why and not just that I'm even OK with you listening to things on low. That's not what I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about is these people will listen to it on full volume. I mean full volume to where the whole entire plane can hear them. And what's frustrating about this and what I like about Delta is they do have free fast Wi-Fi which is great.
However what does that open up things to people are watching their tick tocks more people are watching their YouTube shorts more or YouTube in general or whatever they're watching Instagram wherever they're at.
And they have these things full volume and the videos are so short but they repeat and one of the main problems that I had was there's a dude sitting here watching this thing watching a video five six times in a row over and over and over again and you're going dude
shut the heck up like I'm tired of hearing the stupid video over and over I got it I'm not even watching the stupid video right like I've already got the point of what the stupid video is trying to say and I'm not even there.
So you've got that not just that one of the main things that irks me the most I've got a full list and I'm not going to go through the full list but this is the other part that really fries my donuts and I'm like Chris try me and after this is the embarking of the plane boarding the plane and
debarking or off boarding of the plane I can't stand that process if I ever started an airline if I ever had that much money because it takes a lot of money to do that if I ever had that much money.
I don't understand why we don't do this row by row.
I really don't because the thing is we have these stupid idiots who are on the back of the plane who stand up at the end of this FN flight and they're like it's like bro you have a line in front of you of all these people not just that but you have people like trying to fight and squeeze and now I do
understand if you have a flight that is about you know you got to make your connection what but a lot of these people do not a lot of these people are not trying to do that they're trying to basically they're being jerks about things and so that brings me to
the point about post covid I've flown pre covid I've flown post covid and the biggest things that I have noticed difference wise people don't care about other people people don't care that there are people that are in front of them.
They will intentionally try to grab their bag squeeze past people and we all know the aisles and airplanes ain't big enough to squeeze past folks like it's not and I witnessed this I don't know.
We flow only two flights and on those two flights I witnessed this on both where people were trying to squeeze past other people who are trying to get their bags off the overhead bin and I do understand it because on the other front there are people who are getting things and this is where I'm going to go into boarding when they're
boarding. I've seen so many people when they're boarding a flight. They take so long to put their bag up or they're just they just dilly dallying is just like dude we've got a hundred people behind you seriously get on the plane put your bag in get in the chair nobody cares nobody
cares about how fast we're getting on nobody cares how fast we're getting off and the deal is it slows people down when people in the back of the plane or grabbing their bags and trying to squeeze past other people and I understand other people are being slow but again where I think the airlines go wrong and what I wish we could change
especially in the day after covid where we have been taught and conditioned to hey think about yourself think about your own safety your own protection and your own health.
I feel like those kind of mentalities have gotten us to a point where we're going okay I don't care about you I don't care about the next guy I'm going to grab my bag I'm going to move past you because you're going slow and I think everything could be solved if literally we went row by row
okay the flight attendants go down the rose how easy would it be if the flight attendants go okay it's your rose turn all four six how many however many people are in this row right if it's three by three all six of y'all stand up get your bag pile off we wait a second that way gives a little bit of spacing okay great next row
and vice versa when you're boarding the same thing you know instead of doing because they have like 18 zones at this point right zone 18 you know boarding now zone 18 why wouldn't you just say boarding now if you're row seven we're boarding row seven if you're boarding row eight or boarding row nine we have enough zones at this point to where we might as well just do is row by row I don't understand that because when we go down the jet bridge
there's so many people backed up at certain point you're halfway down the jet bridge and you're going okay this doesn't make any sense anyways so I feel like be you know my beef a lot is with the airline itself the boarding process and then not just that but the people aspect don't leave it up to people because people always choose themselves over the common courtesy I feel like
yeah it's like what you said people we're still in a survival list mindset of people like it's going to be me and mine first we're gonna I'm gonna be I'm gonna take care of mine and really it's I hate to say but it's like primal instincts kick in you know what I mean and like if you notice that like primal you leave a group of kids in a room unsupervised for five minutes primal instincts kick in
right so it's like people have people want to be guided and directed they they won't admit that but it would but people be like oh yeah this is like out of funeral like they dismiss you row by row so it's not like a free for all there's a order of their process and so I'm the funeral procession of cars they tell you what order to go in
yeah I would I would do the embarking like like you said zone one rose thirty six through twenty nine Mike and then everyone gets that way people get all the way to the back of the plane and people aren't holding holding each other up and I've never been the one to understand okay I get priority boarding I get on the plane first it's like you're just going to be sitting on the plane waiting for everybody else like
that doesn't make sense to me yeah and I've been lucky enough to fly business class twice I've been lucky enough to do that twice where you do get the priority boarding and sure it's nice but at the same time like Chris said you're sitting there for a long time and it still aggravates you because you're watching all these people embarked on the plane and you're watching them go back there take their
sweet behind time to get their bag up there and now again here I'm going to kind of caveat here if you're an older person or if you have some sort of physical disability or things like that I understand but again these people also don't ask the flight attendant for help and they should and so that also holds a lot of stuff up as well it's a pride issue on that friend I'm not even going to that but the thing is it takes a long something that I've never understood as well
and maybe this is me again if I had my own airline and wanted to start my own airline I've never understood why because there's an option at a lot of places to board the plane on the ground right most airports have a stairway and the reason they do this they have a stairway that's either coming off the jet bridge or that is coming down into the airport down to the ground like a
even Lubbock airport we were from Lubbock they had the same thing I remember they were redoing the gates at one point and they had the you know they all have stairs that go down to the ground and you can board the plane on the ground my thing is you can even make it to where okay if you fly first and business class you get to use the jet bridge congratulations you get to use the jet bridge and then put one of those stairways on the back of the plane everybody else boards the back of the plane that
that automatically make sure that everybody that is coming down and walking out on the tarmac they're boarding the back of the plane while the front is boarding it saves so much time and in an industry that I'm very familiar with but in an industry that is all about time effectiveness money and process you would think that they would have this process way better than they have it right now but you know that you're going to be able to do that
and then they have it right now but you leave the biggest thing and I go back to it you leave anything up to humans to determine on their own just your individual preference they're going to screw it up yeah there will be some people that will do it right like myself who think about common courtesy who think about other people but the vast majority of people and you know again I the point that I was making about pre-covid and
versus post-covid I did notice pre-covid so many more people were like okay I'm amongst a hundred people in this plane I need to think about other people we're just not getting that anymore and so these procedures that we're having where we're leaving it to people to determine or even worse because now they're only thinking about themselves and have zero common courtesy
so it's it's to me that's that's what bothers me I think it's more endemic of where our society is at right now I think really and truly it's the tip of the iceberg or the root or the fruit of the problem not the root of the problem whatever you want to say it's just more endemic of where our society is at here in the United States
yep everyone is more selfish and yeah that's that's the problem that transcends not just traveling in the airline business my friend there's a whole different area of a lot of things that that bleeds into but yeah other subject other day
that's a whole nother what fries my donuts but man I'm ready to move on to this next sub-greet enough of this negative stuff here let's talk about some fun positive stuff and let's come up with some good improv stuff and we're going to move into our mystery donut which is our improv segment dude I love this segment and today we're doing something I especially love and that is the randomizer we have a machine that randomizes
different things we can put different inputs into it and it will spit things out and then we will have to act these things out so we're going to put into the randomizer today I'm thinking that we're going to because we have choices I'm thinking that let's do a profession at a location doing an action what do you think
sounds good alright the profession is a dog trainer okay got a lot of the randomizer got a lot of the randomizer a dog trainer who is in a mountain cabin
feeding pigeons and that's the action that we're doing okay alright ready I can go first ready yep hello my good sir I was wondering if I could ball some bread for you so I might feed these pigeons here
let me ask you a question why in the heck are you British when the heck did you become British well I'll say this might I train dogs and you have to be the highest class to train dogs not like a southern fellow like yourself
listen now I don't know what you're trying to say about southern people but I'll tell you this much we know how to feed pigeons better than the rest of them we also know how to train dogs better than the rest of them too I don't know what you're trying to say about southern people you done be derogatory about something
you kind of got that wander and accident started off British now you're Australian I'm kind of kind of confused well I'm half Australian half British mate I don't mean to be rude but calling your wife a dog isn't necessarily nice is it I know you know how to train dogs but training your wife that's the only thing you guys know how to train down there
listen now we know how to train more things than just the just the lady folk alright we know how to train I can't say that because that's a family program but we know how to train plenty alright we know how to train dogs cats my wife my kids we even know how to train yeah I can't say that again because that's a family
program so we're gonna leave that there I also know how to do pigeons now because if you feed them enough what ends up happening is they build up a dependency and what ends up happening next thing you know good old country boy Mike here he's got himself some pet pigeons who can do whatever the heck he wants them to do
I do apologize sir I I don't think you quite understood what I was saying I was simply calling your wife a dog because she is so ugly that that she looks like a dog so that's what I was inferring by I know I know that I know that your education is how do you put sub par but but but I don't think you understand
what I'm saying I mean searching your wife saying she looks like a dog now two things about your last statement one my wife does look like a dog I do I do agree with that but there ain't too many choices down here alright there's
literally Cindy Lou or my wife and it's either you wanted to look like a pig or a dog that's the two choices you got I chose dog over pig alright and so the second thing is I don't know what sub par means so you talked about by education level and you're saying that schools good I'm assuming sub par means
yeah it is good the school down here is great well sir I was wondering if maybe I could borrow some bread to help feed these pigeons because they're getting quite quite lean aren't they
why you always got finished things with the dang question that's my question every time every time I'd be talking to British Australian folks they're like it down it what is that supposed to mean why you always got it in the question all I got to say is we'll feed the dang pigeons no question and no question about it
well that's great sir because I think I might go in and have some jam and some tea because it's getting quite cold out here isn't it
tea what's the deal with tea what's the deal with tea listen I passed stronger urine samples than tea I don't understand why y'all are all about tea coffee now that's a drink I don't understand you British people in this tea crap
especially you're talking about feeding this pigeon I don't even know if you know how to do that drinking drinking tea
well sir I would like to bid you a farewell because I'm losing many brain cells the longer that I am talking to you so I bid you a good day and best of luck to you
yeah drink and tea you British
I guess since ever you came through the south your southern accent has just been
dude I'm telling you so Chris and I went to the south this last weekend man it really has been coming out even though I went to work right and a lot of the people that I work with
I have to be very professional at my job and they even noticed a little bit of a twang difference so I do think that you know it's one of those things I wouldn't say when in Rome but like I guess when in the south it just changes I don't know
I forget it brother
that's because the office reference we referenced that line a lot when reading certain literature this week
certain books that have to do with Mr. Moosey and his dinner
well hey I thought we were supposed to end on a positive note
yes we are so I'll say this we should end on our E Claire segment which is our positive advice which is our last segment here and Chris I don't remember who went
first it's your perfect so every time that I fly I'm always reminded of something and it's always very encouraging to me
no matter how cloudy life looks or how stormy life looks there's always sunny or there's always sun on the other side of those clouds
you know I took off this last week and the conditions we were flying out of it was very cloudy I wouldn't say stormy but it was very thick you know it was very thick
even some fog and things like that and I was just blows my mind of when you're standing on the ground and even though life looks dark and life looks gloomy and things like that
yeah it takes a good bit to punch through those clouds and whatnot but just how beautiful it is on the other side how blue the sky is how amazing those clouds look while they're underneath you
and really it's indicative of the clouds are the process in which you're going through in life it's beautiful once you go on the other side yes it's scary and they're very dark and looming while you're going through them
and even while you're on the ground going man I still got to go through that I got to go through that but once you get on the other side you realize the beauty of the progress that you've made by punching through those clouds
and not just that but you come to the other side and I don't know about you and I know you've flown before but it's like when you get to the other side and maybe it's just the the effect of not seeing the blue sky until you get past that point
but the sky is bluer than you've ever seen it when you get to the other side and you can see all sorts of things and so that's why eclair this week is just because you might be on the ground and you're seeing a situation coming about in life
or maybe you're going through a situation and you're flying through these clouds and it's not easy because it's turbulent it's bad you're flying through storms and everything else there is always sun and the blue sky on the other end of that
you just got to keep ascending you got to keep ascending and before you know it you'll be out of that you look down at those clouds you'll realize the processes that you needed to go through and the lessons that you needed to learn in order to get to where you are now
and enjoy the blue sky that you have come to work through to get to and I don't know that's always a great reminder for me whenever we're flying and we fly through bad weather is it always gives me a ton of encouragement so I just wanted to give you guys that this week for my eclair
good stuff good stuff mine is a little bit different mine is a I heard this so I'm so I'm not don't credit me with saying this but I said don't give people level 10 access without requiring them level 10 responsibility so I've had to learn this like
that's a hard way so I'm because I'm a pretty open natural guy I like I meet someone I'm either like okay you can go into access level 10 like to the deepest parts of me but realize like you like you can't do that for everybody there are some people that I will pick up the phone for
like like Mike is one of those people like you call me at 3am 4am I'm picking up the phone for you no matter what because we have that kind of friendship because we put in that trust and put in that time there some people if it's after 5 o'clock like no disrespect but I'm not answering your phone call like I will probably answer the next day I'll respond to you but if you're calling me it's because I know if you're calling me after 5 o'clock
and I've had this conversation before like it's like you're usually calling me about something that probably can wait till tomorrow anyway but there are certain people that I'll pick up the phone for like my wife obviously Mike obviously like it doesn't matter what time of day like you call me I'm there I'll show up there but
before I would just show up like a middle of night for anybody and it's like you can't do that because then that's when people start to take advantage of you and not saying you have to be guarded but kind of like I think Mike I said this like there's like layers right like kind of like
when you get security access to certain things like there's when you work in a building people have like level 5 security access they can get anywhere if you have level 3 security access you can get some places but not everywhere right so just depends on these people in your life
and so you have to sit down and ask yourself like who in my life has full access to me anytime anywhere and then who are those people that I need to kind of like start tapering back that access because the truth is if you called them at 3 in the morning they probably wouldn't show up for you
so hear me I'm not saying like block everybody cut everybody out but determine like okay is this a level one person level five person so and it helps you keep healthy boundaries that way for sure
absolutely and it kind of goes back to I'm just going to allude to this when we were talking about this the story at the beginning of the podcast about my wedding and things like that and how it almost went a certain way it's hard because
you want to trust everybody like Chris and I our first instincts and how we were raised and everything else is you trust everybody until there is not they give you something to not trust them about or they give you something to you know they do something to not do that
sometimes everything and moderation there is always moderation to everything and so you don't want to be too trusting you also don't want to be too close-fisted with your trust and so it's hard because
sometimes you know our natural Christianize natural want is to be totally trusting on this end but it's gotten us in trouble over the time it's got me in trouble over time where you trust the wrong people and you trust them innately and then before you know what they let you down consistently and so I understand what Chris is saying again it's all about moderation not saying you don't trust people
but at the same time just like Chris is saying with the levels of access be careful who you give access to certain things because you don't want those people using that information against you or anything like that however if these people are proving that they are trustworthy people that you can trust in your life
give them more access and that is all a part of the balance that you have to strike within yourself so don't go too far one direction don't go too far the other direction and each situation is different and if you're going through one of those situations it's very difficult but at the same time you got it
it's again you're able to tell just think about those two fence posts and try to keep it in between there. Yeah I think Maya Angelou said when someone shows you their true colors believe them and so I found myself that this week of like because I just made a major move if you guys couldn't tell from our we've kind of hit it at it but I found myself going like why didn't this person text me or I wish this person would have reached out and it's like well have they got it
well have they given you a track record of reaching out to you before it's like no so why am I that upset so you just got to you just got to keep it moving but hey I want to take a minute to plug trash can travel and this is mostly on Micah Micah has put so much hard work into this and he has a lot of content coming out
and really this past week getting to talk with Micah I got to like hear more of like you know I know that Micah loves planes right like I know that about him but like just to hear his passion and his energy about he's putting towards the channel and just how he really cares for the aviation community and I mean some
YouTubers they might just post that stuff and not care you know what I mean like they might just be like oh yeah like this will give me some views and not care but Micah really does care and so it's really cool to like see that and so you'll go check it out check out his hard work because it's really cool the cool stuff he's doing
he's got a lot of ideas cooking that I'm sure he'll roll out pretty soon. Yeah man I appreciate you I appreciate the plug man and like Chris said he's he's really not involved in trash can travel it's it's mostly me on that end because he's

aviation is incredibly fun for me as well so it is definitely a hobby that I just love to do but I love connecting with you guys if you guys love aviation shoot I was even at the coffee shop earlier and I got a follower from a guy who I had no clue like
aviation all you know it's interesting man he was we were literally just talking about it and he knows that because my wife I love her she's so supportive of my aviation passion and everything like that and we go and we go to the airport and we'll take
drives around the airport here in the town that I live in and everything and go watch planes and sometimes we'll go get coffee beforehand and this guy was like oh so you go to the airport and whatnot and he started following me and he was just like man you know I'm kind of a casual
follower of aviation but I really really love this so even if you're a casual follow of aviation if you just like kind of just seeing planes or if it's one of those things of like man I haven't flown for I know I know people who are not passionate about aviation

anyways. In fact, it was it's funny. Chris and I actually talked about that a few months ago
about expanding the tick talk because it was so and I was just like, man, I just don't want to get
on there. And you know, I'm glad that we didn't we didn't end up going on there just because of

what was coming on that front. But we really appreciate you guys really, really appreciate
