Hi, I'm Micah. And I'm Chris. And this is the DonutBox podcast.
We are so excited to welcome you to our first ever DonutBox podcast. This is the inaugural
episode and you guys are definitely OG listeners.
If you've never been an OG before of anything, consider yourself one now of the DonutBox
podcast. That is probably the lamest thing you've ever said. Just saying. That is so
white for you to say. There's got to be something lamar that I said.
Well, why don't you explain to them what the actual DonutBox podcast is?
Well, I will say this. We used to come out with some creative works back in the day.
I will say that. One of them was a very popular donut shop. We named it that. We wanted to
name the podcast that, but copyright, trademarks, all that sort of thing.
We don't want to get sued over something that we're just having fun with. The thing
about it is we called it the DonutBox. Take what you will and you can go ahead and figure
out which donut place it was probably. We have been friends Chris and I for a very
long time since 2003, 2004 timeframe. We've been doing a lot of creative works since then.
We're super excited because we're adults now. We have the proper equipment, not recording
on a very low grade webcam for movies and such, which we will spare you showing you our original
works. We will spare you from that because although they are funny to us, I don't know
if the quality is so great.
Well, so basically our DonutBox podcast is just a bring comedy and lightheartedness.
We'll talk about different topics. The jail report, do improv and just trying to make
people laugh and whatnot. Each segment is a different donut out of the box. Our first
donut is definitely old fashioned. I'm not a fan of old fashioned donuts personally.
Personally, definitely not. That's not my first choice if we're going to the donut
shop where we're going to put in the box, but for our sakes here, it's going to be that.
How we're going to format this is each segment is going to be a different donut out of the
box. So the first one out of the box is old fashioned, which is a story from our past.
I'm going to hand it over to Chris for the very first one here.
So it was probably 2007. I was 13. So if you are good at math and you probably figure out
how old I am, but it was I was 13 in the seventh grade and Michael calls me up and he was like,
dude, he was like, you got to check out this new movie. It's so good. My parents went and
took me and saw this movie. It's called I am legend. It's God Will Smith and it's great.
And I was like, well, I got to, I got to ask my parents because my parents were a little
bit more strict than his. And, uh, you know, my parents didn't let me watch a lot of movies
with cussing in it. And so back then there weren't that many movies that, you know, had
cut if they had cussing and it was like PG 13, which this movie was PG 13, but I think
my parents like reviewed it and only had like the D word or the H word, which is like a
big deal for them.
Yeah, absolutely. And if I remember correctly, I think there was three total words and just
a little bit of background. Um, we, we went to a church that was labeled non denomination.
Um, however, it was more of a Pentecostal view set or a symbol of God background. So
it was definitely a, um, compressed society, if you will, as far as what you can have.
Um, I will say this. I even remember, you know, Chris's parents would let him watch
that so Raven cause she could see the future, you know, even Disney channel shows, different
things like that. But, um, you know, things like that tended to happen.
Yeah. I mean, nothing like against my parents. They just were like pretty strict about what,
what we watched. And so I asked my mom, I was like, Hey mom, can I go see this movie?
Um, with Mike and mom was pretty cool. And she was like, well, what's it right? And I
was like PG 13. And, uh, she was like, well, is there any cussing in it? And I was like,
yeah, I looked on the review online and there's a couple of cuss words. She was like, well,
Christopher, she was like, you're not 13 yet. I think it was like August before my birth
and my birthday was in October. She was like, she was like, you're not 13 yet. She was like,
so you're not going to see this movie. So I remember my dad telling a story about how
him and his brothers used to like spend all day at the movie. So they buy one ticket to
one movie and then they would just movie hop, which nowadays you really can't because there's
like reserve seating and stuff. So I came up with the bright idea. I think we kind of
both came up with the bright idea.
We, there were segments of each idea that kind of came together all at one. Uh, we were,
so you know, I don't know if movie theaters now have full blown arcades, but this one
did. And so we were at the arcade and, uh, it was a, it was perfect. It was perfect.
And we said it up. Yeah. So, uh, what we did was so my mom and my brother, you know, I
told my mom, I was like, Hey, I want to go see a movie with Micah. And she was like,
what movie? And I was like, Alvin and the chipmunks. I lied to her. I was like, we're
going to go see Alvin and the chipmunks. And she was like, okay, well me and your brother
are going to go see probably national treasure. I think it was national treasure too. And
so we picked a start time of Alvin and the chipmunks that started before national treasure
two. And we lined it up perfectly because I am legend started after national treasure
two. So we went and we saw the first 10 minutes of Alvin and the chipmunks and we waited for
my mom's movie national treasure two to start. And then we snuck on in to I am legend. Oh,
and here's the best part too. We figured out, we looked at the movie times and we figured
out that Alvin and the chipmunks was actually longer by about 30 minutes than national treasure
two was. So we knew that, you know, we could watch I am legend get out of there and still
be able to go back to Alvin and the chipmunks before they got out of national treasure two.
Yep. So they did. We did. We, we got away with it. My mom didn't suspect a thing. And
what was great was we saw the beginning and we saw the end of the movie. So when my mom
asked how the movie was, we basically told her the beginning and the end and we got away
with it. Listen, we thought we were the baddest, most, you know, just devious people on the
planet. That was the biggest secret for the longest time because we had, you know, not
only successfully did this, but we did it right under somebody's nose and they didn't
even know we had this whole plan out and everything. And I mean, I will say for our
age that was pretty well thought out. Yeah. So fast forward two weeks. I'm it's last period
in class and I'm sitting in math class and my, my teacher, she gave us time to do our
homework and I'm sitting there and all of a sudden I hear you need to tell your mom
about sneaking into the movies, sneaking behind her back. And I looked around. I thought
I was my boy Demetrius and I was like, yo, D, I was like, what'd you just say to me?
He was like, bro, you're tripping. He's like, I didn't say nothing. I was like, D, quit
playing with me, dog. I was like, quit playing with me. I was like, what'd you say? And he's
like, I didn't say nothing. So then I hear it again. I was like, you need to tell your
mom, you know, that you snuck into that movie theater. I said, D, quit playing with me,
bro. He was like, dude, I promise you, I didn't say nothing. So this time I'm staring at him
the whole time and I hear you need to tell your mom what you did and he wasn't talking
and I've, that was the first time God ever spoke to me. He ever spoke to me. So my mom,
she picks me up after school and I'm dreading it. I'm doing the walk of shame, walking the
green mile. And I said, mom, I need to tell you something. She's like, what is it? And
my mom is like the sweetest lady. She's such a, she's a typical Southern Christian lady.
I'll batch for it. I love her to death. She's, she's great. Yeah. So she's, I'm just like,
mom, I snuck behind your back and I went, I didn't go see Alvin in the children's time.
Went to see I am legend and my mom was just like, my mom never got mad. It was one of
those, I'm more disappointed in you than I'm mad. She was like, well, Christopher, she was like,
that just breaks my heart. She was like, that makes me so sad. She was like, now tell me the
truth. Get my peer pressure, you into doing this. And I was like, well, kind of. And she was like,
that's why I always pray for you boys to pick good friends. She was like, that's why I always
tell you you need to pick your friends wisely. And guess what? My mom didn't let me go watch a
movie for a very, very long time. Well, it was probably like two years, I think. I think it was
two years before I went to go see a movie by myself. So that's the story about how we, uh,
snuck into I am legend. I am legend is definitely a great movie. And would you say it was worth it,
Chris? Yeah, but unfortunately that wasn't the only time we, we made some deception. So do you
want to tell them about the, do you want to tell them about the other time? So part B fast forward
a few years and we are very, we're working very hard for, for church, you know, and, and we, we
were serving on several ministries and everything and not going to lie to you. We got a little burnt
out as far as how much we were doing. We, you know, we were usher and we were working in the back.
We were doing all sorts of stuff, but always at the church, always at the church. That was,
that was really the thing about it. And, and here's kind of the thing too, you know, the, the,
growing up in that church, it kind of, they kind of preached that if you, if you really love God,
you'll be serving more. The way that you prove that you love God is, is how, is how much you serve.
And so, you know, we were always at the church and there were certain pastors that we would even
avoid because the only time they would come talk to us was to ask us to serve or to help out. Yeah,
absolutely. And, um, you know, whenever you deal with that and you deal with that week in and week
out, you, you find ways to go do your own thing. Um, and, you know, this next story is a prime
example. We being young men at the time, 16, 17, my boy Chris had a car, um, a white Buick.
Got a love, got a love of the Buick. That was, that was a good car. He saved up his money from
working at Chuck E. Cheese for that car. And, uh, we, we decided, all right, we're, uh, we're going
to skip service one, one week and, uh, we had some time on our hands. And so where did we decide to
go? We decided to go to Hooters. And, uh, you know, the thing about it was Hooters, why, why Hooters?
Well, you know, it was 11 o'clock right when they opened up. Um, there was nobody there besides us.
We got all the attention in the world. They didn't remember us from week to week. At least they
didn't ask like they did or act like they did. And what happened after that? Um,
we not only went to Hooters that week, we went to Hooters, uh, I would say almost every week.
If it wasn't Hooters, it was somewhere we would be like, where do you feel like eating today?
And we'd be like, oh, we'll go to CC. So we'll go to Hooters and like, we would like just sneak out
and we would have to be, we would be scheduled to serve. And right before we were supposed to show up,
we just dip out. We just, we just dip out. And, um, the thing, the thing about Hooters is, um,
we would always tell them it was our birthday. And you know how Hooters, they always, uh,
make a little something special when it's your birthday. And so, um, I wish I still had the
pictures because there was, you know, several times that, you know, I think one time they give
us a calendar. They, uh, they like danced around us one time. Um, what was the other one? It was
like the April. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, bro. Don't, uh, don't put that out there, bro. Don't put
that out there. I'm sorry. We were there for the chicken wings. Yeah, we were there for the chicken.
We were there for the chicken wings. And yeah. And so the thing about it is, uh, the best part is
there was one occasion and, you know, I really hope that my family is not listening to this
because I don't think they know this story too. But there was one time that we walked in with some
Hooters cups and, uh, my grandfather was in town, uh, no longer with us, but, uh, he,
he sees the Hooters cups and this was a very religious Stoic man. And he looks at the Hooters
cups and he looked at us and he said, why didn't you invite me? And he, he was, he was, he was dead
serious about it too. He was dead serious about it too. Why didn't you bring me? And we were like,
um, I didn't think you'd want to go. And he's like, what do you mean I wouldn't want to go? And, uh,
well, I mean, we did grow up and, uh, needless to say, I don't skip church to go to Hooters.
I don't skip church to go to Hooters either because, uh, let's just be real, the chicken
wings, like all that. Nope. They think they all that in a bag of chips. They ain't even the grease
on the side of the bag. I'm telling you that right now. Agreed, especially for the price. Well,
that was our old fashioned segment. And Michael, do you want to tell them about the next donut?
What next donut are we going to bring out of the box? Oh man, the next donut out of the box is
going to be the jelly donut. What do you say private pile? Sir, jelly donut, sir. A jelly donut.
Which this one is going to be our weekly jail report. Now there's some interesting stories
in the jail report, as we all know. This week's is the story of a lady named Sandra. We're not
going to say the full names just for disclosure, but we will say this. This, this lady named Sandra
was arrested and charged with cruelty to children for forcing a child to drink hot sauce.
Whatever he used vulgar language on the bus. So it was like the equivalent of like washing
your mouth out with soap. Except the lady held the kid down and put Tabasco sauce in the kid's
mouth. So what language was she charged with? She was charged with cruelty to children. Wow,
that's crazy. But as described by a witness. She grabbed the boy's hair and in an attempt to
put hot sauce in their mouth, picked the victim up off the floor by the arm and the leg and placed
him on a table and force the accused to then wear a dress because he would not drink the hot sauce.
That's pretty brutal, man. That is pretty. I know my mom washed my brother's mouth
out with soap, but I don't know. Would you make your kid drink hot sauce though if he was saying vulgar language?
Now that's a hard one because you know today's climate is definitely different than what it used to be.
Now do I agree with you know grabbing the boy's hair and yanking his head back and trying to make a
you know forced Tabasco sauce down the kid's throat? Absolutely not. But the thing about it is
you know if the kids use a vulgar language I'm definitely gonna take something into account.
Call me old-fashioned but I'm more of a you know I think the belt definitely works. Yeah the
belt definitely works. I think holding the kid's head back and making him wear a dress I think
that's where I mean that kid is definitely gonna need some therapy. You know and the kids in elementary
school this kid was you know seven years old. Oh that's pretty bad. That's child abuse.
Apparently she's out $4,600 bond which I thought was fairly low. I mean I don't know what it normally
would be for something like cruelty to children but at the same time... $4,600 bond so if she like
paid a bail bail bondsman does they do like 10% so it'd be like $460. The good thing about the jail
report here is they have some some people on the street chime in for this. So somebody named Tammy
came and said neither I my parents nor my grandparents had ever or would ever do some stupid crap like
that period. We got our butts woped a million times but that's the good old-fashioned way.
That was what Tammy said about that. And then someone named Melissa said I did have two biters
and a spitter. I put a dab of hot sauce on their tongues. It stopped from happening so I believe
spanking their behinds when needed but if this makes me a bad mom for putting hot sauce on their
tongues and so be it. So obviously you know there's some mixed opinions there as far as is that good
or bad. Personally I think it's a bit much. I think it's a little little overkill for for what
they were probably trying to go for there. And where was this lady at or if she at?
She was in Hebsibah. Oh okay if y'all don't know where Hebsibah is it's like Augusta
but it's like the redneck part of Augusta so it's like its own little town.
Own little suburb I guess. It's definitely the redneck part but I don't know my dad
whooped me with the belt all the time. You know my mom uses spatula sometimes and you know as I
needed it you know to be disciplined but I don't and like I said she washed my brother's mouth out
with soap but you know putting hot sauce I think I think maybe like if they were voluntarily doing
it but if you're like just forcing hot sauce. Well and then to do the humiliation factor of
whatever the kid wouldn't open the mouth up with hot sauce after you're trying to yank them around
and then it's like all right you're putting a dress on. I mean that's oh I mean I would humiliate
my kid 100% because you know some kids respond better to that but I would definitely not put a
dress on. I mean that's like way over the line. Yeah well that is is that all we have for the jail
report? This week yeah we probably add more as we go on but the inaugural episode we definitely
wanted to talk about that you know see kind of people on the street what they thought about the
same thing. Well I mean you know the jail report you never know what you're gonna find there's
always so many interesting stories on the jail report and you just never know but so that's the
end of our our jelly donut so why don't you tell them what our next segment is. So our next segment
is going to be the donut hole which is we're gonna go into a sports story from the past
and today's is interesting probably some that you know a name that a lot of people know but
not for for this incident in particular. So the next donut out of the box is going to be regarding
Michael Vick. This one he was with Atlanta not his second stint after all the fun stuff happened
so you know him with Atlanta was definitely a rocky road. Something else about the two of us we
both lived in Georgia for a long time Chris is from there and so we lived in the Augusta area
and so we you know a lot of a lot of stuff about the Falcons. Yeah I remember growing up watching
Michael Vick. Michael Vick was like I mean the main quarterback that we all watched you know
after if you don't know about Michael Vick and you know his his thing that he went through
research him because we don't we're not really going to get into that but what we're going to get
into is is some funny stuff that I remember watching growing up so. I just remember so it was
you know it was in the Georgia Dome and you know that's something else about growing up in Georgia
you know what the Georgia Dome is and it's something about the Georgia Dome too. I can you
know it's demolished now they have a whole new stadium in Atlanta but I could still see the
inside of the Georgia Dome. I can still see the outside of the Georgia Dome. Like you say the Georgia
Dome and I can think of it and partially you know I think about Michael Vick running up and down the
field you know at at the Georgia Dome but in this in particular this is one of Michael Vick's low
periods with the Falcons. He was not exactly happy they were going believe that season they went you
know three and thirteen I think it was not a very good year for them but they you know there was
just a handful of fans remaining after a game in the Georgia Dome and the Falcons lost to the
Saints big division rival 31 to 13 and Michael Vick was getting heckled by you know the few fans that
were in the stadium and you know that'll be something I'll never forget just like well I won't say
that in case we have to do that for another podcast but another obscene thing at a Super Bowl.
I could just remember Michael Vick turning and he double flipped off with God and everybody
watching you know the cameras on him as he's walking off the field and he double flips off the fan
starts cussing them out all this stuff and I just remember being you know you're so shocked and you
know I don't I don't know personally today I don't know if that would be as big of a thing I
definitely think it would be news don't get me wrong but at this point I mean that was that was
huge that was you know you know that was a character thing you know nobody wants their
starting quarterback to flip off their own fans. Well I mean I think even now like they would probably
get a fine but now just people are like oh he flipped somebody off like they do that in movies now
like it's just kind of no thing it's just not really even a big deal and so I remember when I
saw I didn't like actually see it live but I saw the news story on it and it had two of his dirty
birds two of the middle dirty birds blurred out because it was censored of course but I remember
seeing that and be like man that guy give them the double birds and I remember my dad my dad you know
my dad he kind of talked in a way like you know you could kind of understand him but he was kind of
soft spoken kind of talk like this and he was like Christmas he's like I don't know about that Michael
Vic he's no character he's all about character Tyler will keep you on the field Tyler will get
you on the field but character will keep you on the field I was like okay dad so it just it was
such a such an obscene thing and you know to that point I still to this day don't really know of a
sports story where a starting quarterback of his caliber because I will say this Michael Vic at that
time was a superstar I mean he was you know certain players give off certain vibes and I will say
around this time tell me if I'm wrong he really was like the Allen Iverson he kind of had that Allen
Iverson mode about him because he was such a unique talent Allen Iverson was a talent that
literally you know was unprecedented in the NBA nobody had seen anything like that and he had a
style like nobody had ever seen Michael Vic was the same way well to kind of expound on that and
and many of you may not be knowing what he's talking but you rushing QBs rushing quarterbacks
were not a thing like you know everybody you know in college and and the NFL now they the
quarterback can get out of the pocket can make a rushing yeah they're all athletes you know
back in the day the quarterback was supposed to stay in the pocket not move out of the pocket
unless he was about to you know get sacked but Michael Vic was one of those he was a running
quarterback and you know only him and Donovan McNabb and I think was it Dante Cole pepper
Dante Cole pepper but the only thing but Dante Cole pepper is he was such a big bodied guy
to the point where he you know when he rushed he was more of a you know he's gonna drive right
through you he's gonna truck you kind of thing he's you know he's trying to get through you
Michael Vic you know the best way that I can describe him is he was quick he was shifty like
literally you know you can have three guys on him and somehow he figures out to twist and move
to get out of that situation and what should have been a five-yard loss ends up being a 20-yard
gain and so he was such a unique talent and I remember the whole state of Georgia I mean
heck going to elementary school everybody had a Michael Vic jersey everybody did everybody loved
Michael Vic I mean it was one of those things to where I remember when this incident happened
the talk was you know that was a betrayal that was really a betrayal of how much the city of
Atlanta loved him and and then for him to to flip off fans like that that was almost just that
ultimate betrayal of you know again that character coming out and you know nobody wants to see
their starting quarterback flip off their own fans now if they're in New Orleans and they're
flipping off New Orleans fans that's one thing but I mean right well I mean you know and and we
won't delve into it but I remember it was it was such a and I remember going to school when Michael
Vic had that big incident that happened not the flipping off the fans but the big thing that he's
probably famous for when that happened it was kind of a divide in my school because there were some
people that were like oh burn your Mike Vic Mike Vic jerseys and then other people like no we need
to stand behind Mike Vic and we need to support him and I remember I went up to this kid and I was
like why are you wearing that Michael Vic jersey he's not a good dude and he's like well does that
have anything to do with him as a player I like him as a player and I was like you know what
you know you have a point there I see your point but like he said Michael Michael Vic was the sad
part about Michael Vic is he was really before his time and he was really on the cutting edge of
the rushing quarterback and and Michael Vic and Donovan McNabb who ironically played for the
Eagles which were Michael Vic went to after he came back and you know got better you know they
they were before their time and you know everybody was like oh they're so flashy oh they're just showing
a show boat and they're showing off when really they were kind of on the cutting edge of of a
quarter quarterback and this is this is really rabbit holeing on on the subject but you're
you're absolutely right they were before their time as far as you know that rushing quarterback and
you know I'm not going to call any names of any coaches or anything but really you know even now
we're we're starting to develop in the pros a more college approach as far as rushing quarterbacks
doing more read options doing option passes things like that which if that was happening in the
times of Michael Vic first bout Hall of Famer guaranteed because he would have literally had
I mean umpteen dozen passing yards and umpteen dozen rushing yards because this was the guy
who could not only turn a negative play into a positive play rush like nobody's business but
also chuck it 50 yards down the field if he had to and you know a lot of times hybrid quarterbacks
in that age which were few and far between I mean Donovan McNabb could throw it far but the
thing about Donovan McNabb he was known for the short check down stuff he really wasn't known for
chucking it down field so it's it's just really hard because it's it's one of those things to
where I don't think coaching was necessarily up to that level and I mean heck at that time they
were still using a full back in the NFL you know the I formation was a big thing interesting Michael
Vic I remember the story so that that was interesting donut hole double flipping off fans well we
kind of went down a rabbit hole with the donut hole kind of a thing but that's okay there's
nothing wrong with that but all I'm saying is you get me talking about sports it won't stop quick
that's okay bro that's okay so I'll let you I'll let you introduce the next the next donut
well it's not really a donut I don't think this is a this is more of a different segment but
we're gonna move into what really fries my donuts so if you've ever watched the show family guy
there is a you know Peter at one point had a segment called what really grinds my gears
what really fries my donuts is the same thing it's something in society that really really gets
under our skin and fries our donuts and Chris has got one day I actually have two and I will try to
keep them brief but and let me let me preface this first one okay you know what really fries my
donuts you know what really fries my donuts what really fries my donuts is these these dudes
they're males okay I don't really want to call them men because that's that's more of a and don't
work I'm not like gender hating or anything like that I'm just pointing out an observation
there are certain situations where you know everybody has a different situation but these dudes
these dudes they sit at home they don't have no job they're not going to school they're not working
on anything they just sit at home and they play the game all day while their girlfriend or wife
or whoever it is they go out make the money now like I said let me preface this is it preface or
preface okay preface this I don't know I was reading his preface whenever I read a book it's
like preface it's like preface okay but let me preface this by saying it's one thing if you know
your man he lost his job you know he's trying to get back on his feet or if he's in school and you
know or he's working towards building his own business or something like or or if like you know
he he lost like his mom or his dad and he needs some time to agree and stuff like that that's okay
but these are the dudes that they have no drive no option no want to to try to do something they just
sit and they're basically leeches they're their mooch is that's that's basically what they are
they just mooch off their girlfriend their girlfriend goes to work their girlfriend pays the bills
their girlfriend has a car and they borrow the car you know and they're sitting back with their
with their chair lean back and and just drive in their girlfriend's car probably to go chi on her
more or less you know it's like bro pull your chair up so you can go look for a job and I'm not
I'm not saying race nothing like that I'm just talking about type of yi yi looking haircut the
little bowl cut with your goofy looking magnum pi mustache over there playing the game while your
girlfriend's out there slaving and then you still expect her to come home take care of the kids wash
the dishes and then you know be intimate with you and and to take care of everything it's like dude
like as a man you're supposed to help take care of share the responsibilities you know like I said
it's one thing if you if you're just sitting at home and and you just lost your job you're actively
looking for a job but it's another thing when you are actively taking advantage of that and you
know what ladies you you deserve someone that's better than that and guys you need to you need to
man up and to stop putting so much weight on your girl and that's what really really fries my donuts
and I'll say this I had one thing to that the thing about it is you know yes that happens
a ton especially it seems like with guys too but listen ladies be doing it too and the thing is
what we need to be promoting in life is we need to be promoting symbiotic relationships and if
you don't know what a symbiotic relationship is that's in nature whenever you know two life forms
you know use each other it's also give and take though you know they take from them but they also
give back and what I see too much in society nowadays personally that fries my personal
donuts is the fact that people don't take the initial steps to be fair to the other person
and really fill in that gap well the thing is is you know and and it's not just for it's not just
for guys but like you said it's for girls too but like people that just baby them and like take care
you know right they want a mom they don't want to the real thing is I see a lot more in men than I
see them women but but these boys that are like mom mommy took care of them like you nailed nailed
it right on the head if they want a mom and ladies you know you're not there to be his mom
and and guys you're not there to be her dad you're you're there to you know grow together to love
each other and it should be like he said a give and take you know if one person is putting in 100
and no one's putting in zero then that's not good each everybody should be putting in 100
every day and that and that's just kind of how I feel about it so that's the first thing that
fries my donuts the second thing that fries my donuts is and this is where you know I got the
whole ramp from is I was watching you know Hulu and I saw a commercial and it was on Disney Plus
and it was for Home Alone and it was basically like shot-for-shot remake of this Home Alone movie
and it looked like the same antics the same traps the same comedy goofy I mean the kid had a
British accent that was the only thing that was different but I'm sitting here like how unoriginal
is it in Hollywood now think about everything that you watch on TV or movies it's just a reboot
it's a remake or it's like a sequel you know I'm like it's one thing if you're taking an old movie
like for example West Side Story is coming out if you've never seen West Side Story it's a great
musical it's coming out but the trailer looks like a shot-for-shot remake and I'm like why do we need
that what's wrong with the original why can't we just leave it how it is why do we have to we're
playing on this cash grab of nostalgia and people are buying into it people are like oh yeah that's
work great in the 80s it's like yeah it worked great in the 80s because it was an original idea
I'm not seeing and the movies that do have good original ideas they're flops there's not good
any story writing I feel like Hollywood is just so tired and they're making remakes I mean we're
what on Fast and Furious 20 now like they're in space like it's basically Star Wars at this point
well and the thing is you know no hate on on Fast and Furious fans but the thing about it is if you
go back to the very very first Fast and Furious or even the second one I mean you know it we're
definitely in different times when it comes to these movies we're into action films it's not about
the cars it's not about you know what it was originally about about racing and you know the
side stories and things like that I mean to your point I even think that commercials have gotten
the same way I mean we're seeing commercials now I saw it Eminem commercial and don't get me wrong
holiday tradition commercials or something but the the thing about it is I'm seeing commercials
that I saw 10 years ago Geico commercials I've seen 10 years ago and you know the thing about it is
it's all about that nostalgia factor we don't necessarily have to come out with anything new
we just have to come out with something that people will relate to and I don't know the thing
about it is I feel like it just like you said Hollywood is out of originality we're into a
phase to where it's nothing but well it's come to the point where it's not about entertainment
anymore it's about making money which I get you want to make money but the most of the people
that are your target median audience is 35 to 40 and those are millennials people that grew up in the
80s and 90s so why not play to their nostalgia why not you know do that for a cash grab you
know you look at these live action Disney remakes yeah great you know look at all the ice ages I
remember the first I don't think I've seen more than you know and and more than the second one I
don't think I've even seen the second one but at the same time it's like come on man like give us
an original idea but people are are sheep in their fickle and they'll buy into it so that that's
what really fries my donuts and I know that was a long rant but you know this is what this segment
is for it's just to to rant go off of what we're seeing and what what personal opinion what needs
to change a little bit in society just because we've we've gotten lethargic with some things
especially things like that I think we've we've gotten lethargic on that I mean I mean to add one
more thing I've seen like MMA stuff with you know Bellator and stuff like that where it's like Tito
Ortiz fighting you know somebody again and I'm just like man I even heard Mike Tyson had a fight
not too long ago and nothing against Mike Tyson but at the same time we're just going for cash
grabs nowadays yeah so anyways that's what fries my donuts so this next donut that we're about to
bring out of the box I think this is going to be my personal favorite this is the sprinkles donut
and this is basically our improv we don't know what's going to happen basically we have written
down some accents that we are going to pull out of the hat and then we've written some situations
and I don't know are you ready yeah we're gonna have to we're gonna shake them up pull them out of
the hat and see what we get all right so why don't you start with the accent let's see which
accents we get first old man country voice old man I'm just gonna do old man first voice okay so
our accent is old man now we give us shuffle up the scenarios waiting in an airport waiting in an
airport okay awesome are you ready to do this do you want to start do you want me to start
all right go for it so we are flying out on flight 1343 what time is the boarding time
I told you before we left home or on American Airlines 3730 just like the Bible John 3730
wait you say 3730 yes Daryl turn up your hearing aid I told you 3730 hold on now
when I'm looking at the big boy I don't see a 3730 Daryl it's there it's there I promise you it's
there 3730 put on your glasses oh let me tell you something you don't talk to me like that listen
here I've been putting up with you for 35 years I just want to go to the wetsel pretzel wetsel
pretzel yeah wetsel pretzel before we left I did not have no wetsel pretzel now tell me when I had
that cheesy curly pretzel you had it at 10 o'clock you know why I know because Matlock was on and you
said hey I'm gonna I already seen this episode I said I know you seen it but Matlock's about to get
the the final case it's a season finale you said I'm going to wetsel pretzel Matlock you know I don't
like that Matlock that Andy Griffith give me the creep yes you do you watch the Andy Griffith show
with Barney gonna pile a little open all the time are you telling me you don't like Matlock no no no
let me tell you something I don't watch no Matlock yes you do you watch Andy Griffith every day it's
back to back it's Andy Griffith telethon I thought that was Colombo no no that's not Colombo that's
Andy Griffith well let me tell you something the wetsel pretzel is just down the terminal now you
know what Margaret said about your caloric intake you ain't been eating your fiber like
shit who you been talking to talking about my caloric intake talking to your wife Margaret
who your wife Margaret she told me that boy ain't been pooping right ain't been taking his fiber
woods told you that yep told me before I left she said listen here Jim make sure you take care of
their own ain't been pooping right make sure make sure you eat some fiber ones don't take them no
wetsel pretzel call me old-fashioned but let me tell you something I don't like it when women
but telling my business out there all I'm saying is next thing I know she'd be telling me I need
to go to the bathroom and put it something called a suppository and I don't know what all that means
all I know is I want the wetsel pretzel suppository ain't that where you deposit your your CDs I guess
so that's one of them new fangle things them kids be having nowadays I see it on the TV and it'd be
talking about suppositories and next thing I know she's like that's what you need and I never think
to ask because then the TV show program comes back on and I'm telling you it's Colombo I don't
watch none of that Andy Griffith stuff you watch Andy Griffith you remember the episode where Andy
Griffith tricked Barney and Barney shot his foot and Gomer came in and Opie was screaming and said
Paul Paul he was over there crying like little girl you know who I don't like I don't like that Opie
Taylor there's something about that boy what are you talking about you like Opie Taylor because
you watch happy day that that boy was no happy days yes he was he was there with Fonzie and Potsey
and rap fowl what fly do we own we're on 37 30 if you keep asking me that question one more time
I'm gonna slap you upside your head I hear terminal these got a wetsel print so I saw it on
this year I ain't talking to you about no wetsel pretzel now I wonder if I got an aisle seat aisle
seat you know I like the aisle seat in case case I got to go to the bathroom well who paid for the
tickets I'm getting the aisle seat I thought I paid for the ticket you know you're you know you're
wearing one of those pens so it don't matter if you don't make it to the bathroom listen now
what I want to do I just want to go to the dagum with a pretzel well I hope you enjoyed that
that sprinkles that improv we sure enjoyed it definitely had to just go with the flow there
were some times where it was hard not to laugh but we made it through and so that brings us to our
last donut that we're gonna sad but we're gonna bring it out our last donut that's coming out the
box eclair which is our final thought so like an eclair this show we want it at the end to be you
know just filled with something positive something good you know you know I know we have the what
fries my donuts which was maybe a little bit of a downer or a ramp but we definitely want to
encourage you guys you know we're bringing our positivity and laughs and so hopefully on this
first episode you know you laughed we made you think and you know thanks for staying on the
ride with us so with that being said do you want to start with your final thoughts absolutely so
my final thought is we you know I see so much negativity out there and you know I was thinking
the other day just about life and the thing is we live in a time that's just unprecedented you
know even 10 years ago I couldn't imagine the kind of technology the different things that life has
to offer and now times I mean 2021 we have so many things at the tip of our fingers 10 years ago
we couldn't order in besides you know pizza or something like that now we can order from an
app on our phone basically anywhere in town and so the thing about it is make sure you're enjoying
your life make sure that you're enjoying everything that it has to offer because you know who knows
if life is going to get more stressful things are going to happen and this is your good times
you know good times always happen when you least expect them and so enjoy those moments especially
during the holidays because life is important but life is also temporary and so the thing about life
is we just need to enjoy all the times that we have especially with friends family loved ones
any any group that you want to spend time with just make sure that you spend it to the best of
your ability and enjoy your time even if it is less than ideal circumstances we can all enjoy our
time because chances are when you look back on these times you won't remember the negative times
but you'll remember the positives man that's definitely good I definitely agree with that it's
definitely easy to get caught up in in the in the race of life and you know sometimes you definitely
think that your best days are ahead of you but if you do that then you miss miss being in the moment
but my my my final thoughts for today is just know your worth you know God made each one of us
different and he gave us worth you know I tell people you know you're not a hamburger you're
you're filet mignon and if people aren't if they asked have to ask what price it is then it's too
expensive for them and you know you know there is a limit of so much that you can take but you know
not just with relationships but with with friendships if that person doesn't want to call you back
that person doesn't want to text you back if that person doesn't want to put in the effort to have
a relationship or have a friendship with you you know don't don't be so worried don't be so upset
about it you know you know your worth you're filet mignon and the people that notice your worth
they're definitely willing to pay for it so you know you know play you know know your worth if she's
you know talking down to you and not treating you like the king you are you know know your worth
and every relationship goes through different things you know constantly driving up the wall
and being ugly to you you know know your worth and even with friendships those people don't want
to hang out with you don't get so upset you know I used to get so upset when people didn't want to
hang out and I thought that there was something wrong with me personally but like I said God made
each and every one of us different and life is too short to be worrying about you know who likes us
and who doesn't like us because the people that genuinely know you you know they'll want to sit
at your table and so even if your table is you know two chairs and a little fold-up table that's
okay because you at least got one person so definitely know your worth so that's my final
thoughts and you know we appreciate you guys listening with us like they say time flies when
