Hey Chris.
Hey Micah.
Hey, what do we have for an intro this week?
Well, we don't have any interesting ideas because they told us to tame it down since
we used the words breastages and chesticles last week so we can't really do anything
anymore.
Well, I guess we have to go to Old Faithful.
Hi, I'm Chris.
And I'm Micah.
And this is the DonutBox podcast.
Well Chris, another week down.
Another you gotta tone it down.
And so here we are.
How you feeling, man?
I'm feeling pretty good.
No one really told us to tone it down.
We just kind of ran out of ideas for an intro this week.
I'm just gonna be completely honest.
But we have been doing this DonutBox podcast for 17 episodes, man.
And it has flown by, like we've said before.
But hey, thanks to all of our supporters out there.
Guess what?
We got a listener in Philadelphia from last week's episode and that was kind of cool.
So we're up to, I think, I think we're up to like 18 states, I think.
I hope they're not an Eagles fan and they catch wind and I'm a Cowboys fan, but it's
okay.
We're all friends here.
Hey, speaking of that, did you know that Troy Aikman's like coming out with a new beer?
Did you know that?
Yeah, eight beer.
Yeah.
I heard about that today.
They said that in like one of my meetings and they said that they're gonna come out
with a new Troy Aikman beer.
They were like, Troy Aikman's gonna go around promoting.
And I was like, well, Troy Aikman comes to my town.
That'd be great.
That would be awesome.
You know, I'd probably have to take a visit to see him, but then again, there's probably
gonna be a mass of people around that.
Yeah.
Well, anyways, that was a little rabbit hole.
But anyways, welcome to the Donut Box podcast.
If you're a brand new here, the way this works is every donut is a different segment and
our first segment is giving them the lowdown on what the first segment is, Micah.
It's the old fashioned donut, which is a story from our past.
This week we have a very interesting story.
It's a, you know, last week we talked a little bit about Batman and the donut hole segment.
This week we're gonna be talking about a story in which there's a superhero that I don't
think anybody has heard about.
Anybody.
Well, maybe a few people.
What's the lowdown on this superhero, Chris?
Well, if you grew up in church, you definitely saw this hero.
His name was Bibleman and yeah, he was like a superhero.
They basically based this character off of the 80s and 90s Batman and they did a lot
of cool things.
Now the star of this show was Willie Ames.
And Willie Ames was like a big teen star in the 80s.
He was on, is eight enough and Charles in charge.
So he was like a big name and you could just tell by the way that Bibleman was produced,
you could just tell Willie Ames was dumping all of his cash into it.
I will admit it was pretty cool, but tell them a little bit about your experiences with
Bibleman.
So Bibleman was pretty cool, especially with when you're sheltered and you know, you have
very limited options to watch.
He was a cool superhero that would not necessarily fight crime, I guess, crime in the eyes of
Christianity.
And each villain was like represented a sin.
Like I remember there was one, it was like the shadow of doubt trying to think of some
of the other.
Of course, all the villains escaped my head when I'm thinking about it.
What was?
Yeah, it was like Dr. Fear.
There was sadness.
There was anger.
And it was like a different like villain that they faced.
It was like fear, anger, sadness, pride, different things like that.
And Bibleman would go and face them.
And at the same time, there was like a kid that was kind of going through whatever.
So if there was like the episode was about fear, there would be a kid that like would
be afraid of Bibleman would have to come help him.
Now Bibleman, he would put on his, his armor.
And of course it was based on the scripture about to talk about the armor of God.
So he had like his belt of truth whenever he'd go sit up, suit up, I should say.
And he carried a lightsaber because it was this, it was a sort of God.
It was actually pretty cool for the early 90s or the late 90s and early 2000s.
But tell them how the intro of every Bibleman would go.
So it always talked about how this man became Bibleman.
His name was Miles Peterson.
And if you, if you have the time, go look it up on YouTube.
They have the intro on there.
It's great.
And you know, they start off with the Miles Peterson, the man who had it all.
And they go through all what he had.
And you know, basically his life was empty.
And the funny part about it, looking back is that intro, he's literally like on the ground,
which you could tell is like a stage somewhere that looks like properly in his church or
something.
And he gets down on his knees and he starts yelling.
It's like the most cheesy 90s yell you could possibly imagine is, ah, and he starts like
yelling and he finds his Bible in this rough.
And that essentially is what starts the show.
Well, what does Bibleman have to do with me and Micah's past?
Now it's not that we just watched it.
I personally love Bibleman.
I had everything, the Bibleman Bible, the mash, the cape, the sword, everything.
Michael Micah had the Bibleman Bible as well.
Now Bibleman would usually go like on tour.
He would do road shows and Bibleman was coming to our church and I was super excited about
it because Bibleman was like my hero.
Now during this time and the Bibleman history, if you watch it, this was a time where I guess
Willie Ames had kind of left the show, but like no one had kind of known about it or
there was like speculation.
Some people thought it was a scandal.
Some people thought he was just tired of it and quit.
But Bibleman was coming to our church and my dad knew how much I loved Bibleman.
So they asked for, you know, local guys in the church to help usher.
And they said, if you help usher for this show and you help do like security, then, you
know, you and your family can get like front row seats to go see Bibleman.
So I was like, heck yeah, I'm down.
And so we went to the Bibleman show and Micah came with me and I was like, Mike, I got front
row seats to Bibleman.
And I was like, do you want to go?
And Michael was like, yeah, so what happened?
So we were super pumped.
We get to the front row.
The show starts and it was quite the disappointment.
So first of all, we start to notice the main character.
So they weren't really talking and they weren't really mic'd up.
It was a CD soundtrack.
And so they were lip syncing all of it.
And unfortunately it wasn't necessarily Bibleman.
The guy who played Bibleman was pretty on point.
It was one of the side characters, but he was just horribly off.
Like, I mean, it looked like a movie.
You know, one of those dubbed like samurai movies where it's like he says something and
the words are two seconds late.
Yeah, exactly.
And like Micah said, Bibleman wasn't really the noticeable one.
I started to kind of suspect when I saw Bibleman because it was like he's a little off.
But then it was like the side character like Bibleboy or something.
You could just tell like he was way, way, way off.
It was really, really bad.
And I was very disappointed.
And of course, at that point, I had known that like it wasn't Willie Ames that was doing
the show.
It wasn't the OG Bibleman.
And I was really disappointed.
And I was probably in like fourth or fifth grade.
I wasn't that old, but still I've been watching Bibleman since I was like three.
So he was like a hero to me.
And I was just like really, really, really upset.
And you know, goes to show you don't meet your heroes.
You know, things aren't always as they appear, but you could tell that Willie Ames had already
left the show and kind of the budget was already low budget.
That's probably why they were able to get Bibleman at our church because they were needing
money.
Oh, and I had a piece to the story too.
I remember it was the first time that I ever got in trouble because my parents sent me with
one of their cell phones because they just dropped me off with Chris's family.
And so whenever it was done, they wanted me to call.
And so I see this other friend from elementary school there at the Bibleman show and we start
talking and he's like, oh, you got a cell phone.
And I was like, yeah.
And he was like, oh, cool.
And you got to think this is like fourth grade back in the times when fourth graders didn't
have cell phones.
And so we started like texting back and forth.
And I remember, you know, I was texting with him about the guy lip syncing and everything.
I was like, oh, it's so off and I remember I texted three letters that got me to obtain
double the trouble.
It was WTF.
I typed out WTF and I never forget.
I, you know, of course it's my parents phone.
Like, you know, they're going to check the text messages or they're going to see, oh,
what is this number and who is this person.
So yeah, I got some massive trouble for WTF.
They were like, you know what that means.
And I try to pretend like I didn't know what it means.
And so now that I think about that Bible man show, I not only think of the lip dub, but
I also think about my stupid decision to text WTF to a friend during that.
Well, honestly, back in the day, like people didn't have unlimited texting.
So you could pay for it, but most people like had a limited plan where they got only so
many text messages or only so many minutes on the phone.
And that's probably why his parents, how his parents tracked it because they were like,
you use some of my text messages that I got for the month.
But do some digging, watch Bible man.
You can watch full episodes on YouTube.
Now I will say in the earlier episodes of Bible man, the, that's the same guy that plays
the villain like through like, I guess good eight or nine episodes.
And that guy makes it like that guy does like dance numbers.
He does singing.
You could tell that guy carries the whole show and the whole TV series on his back.
You could tell he was probably like some children's pastor or some youth pastor and he was just
really gifted at theater and him and Willie Ames did really good.
And there was like a Bible man where before Willie Ames dropped off where he stopped doing
it, the villain.
And then that's when Bible managers kind of went on decline.
Yeah, I can't say enough about the guy who played the villain.
I have no clue who he is.
He had to be a pastor of some sort of children's pastor.
He had some sort of experience as a children or youth pastor, but like Chris said, dude
did some dance numbers just like his manurisms.
Each character was different.
He was never like the same either when he played a villain.
It was, it was good.
If I had a, you know, a TV show or something, I would definitely look this guy up and to
play a part.
Yeah, definitely check out Bible man.
That's little side Avenue go digging in that rabbit hole.
So our next segment is the jelly donut, which is the jail report.
Now Micah, I have a great, great jail report for you today.
Are you ready?
I can't wait to hear it.
All right.
So here is the headline.
Lady jailed for using water gun on a neighbor.
Now, what do you, why do you think that she got arrested?
What is your speculation for why she got arrested?
Like charges wise or well, why do you, well, how do you think that using the water gun
like got her arrested?
Like just your speculation.
Oh, there's so many avenues you can go with.
Property dispute, something, something like that where I don't know.
It could be anything.
I would say that she pistol whipped the neighbor in the face.
That's probably why.
But anyways, I'm going to tell you guys why.
So this happened in Florida.
A Florida woman faces battery charges after she shot her neighbor with a squirt gun on
Saturday.
We'll call her Mrs. Renee because I don't know how to pronounce her last name.
Mrs. Renee, she's age 40 of St. Petersburg saw the neighbor walking past her house and
retrieved her water gun.
The police said Mrs. Renee allegedly walked from inside her house onto the neighbor's
porch and shot the victim in the face with a water gun.
Police say the victim never entered Mrs. Renee's property or made any aggressive statements
toward the woman.
According to deputies, Mrs. Renee sprayed the victim because she was upset that the
neighbor was walking on her street.
She was arrested and held on a $500 bond.
So she sounds like really kind of like a Karen, more or less.
Because she was walking on her, like on the sidewalk in front of her house.
That was it.
That was it and I guess Mrs. Renee didn't like the fact that someone was walking on
her sidewalk or her lawn.
I'm actually surprised that she got arrested for just squirting her in the face.
Now I could see like getting like hit or pistol whipped or whatever but like, come on now
squirting somebody in the face like that's like nothing.
I'm surprised somebody called the police over that.
I mean, unless there's some history there which it wouldn't surprise me if there is.
Because why would you call the police on somebody for that?
I would just be like, alright, crazy lady, keep moving.
You know?
From what it sounds like, it sounds like it's two Karen's because they identified the neighbor
as a she.
So it sounds like it's two Karen's is like, oh, you better get off my lawn or I'm going
to squirt you with this water gun.
It's like if you do, I'll call the police and then she squirts her in the face with
the water gun.
It's like I'm calling the police like, man, like, I don't know.
I think the whole thing is absolutely stupid.
I don't think she should have got arrested.
I mean, she could have like done a lot worse stuff to the neighbor.
Yeah, she shouldn't have got upset that the neighbor was walking on her lawn but really,
you know, squirting somebody in the face is unless, I don't know.
Here's my question.
Why does all the crazy stuff happen in Florida?
Like, you hear all the crazy crime stories coming out of Florida for some reason.
Because it's hot and there's really not a lot to do in St. Petersburg and people are
going crazy because they're having to work from home.
I don't know.
Florida is just a crazy state, I guess.
No, no, no shade to my to our listeners in Florida.
We love you guys, but I don't I don't understand.
I personally like Florida, honestly.
Oh, yeah.
I want to move to Florida, but hurricanes.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm not that like typical old man like every time he wants a vacation, he's
like, I want to go to Florida.
I want to retire in Florida.
You're going to be like one of those gray hairs like in Florida retiring.
I can just see it right now.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I'll be eating out at the local fish place at four o'clock back at home for
Walker, Texas Ranger at six.
That sounds like the life.
I could see you just with Hawaiian shirt and khakis shorts and flip flops.
And you just sit in there eating your going to the cracker barrel at 430 in Florida.
But anyways, that's a really weird crime for her to get this, you know, arrested.
I mean, they only set her bond at 500, which was super, super, super low.
Yeah.
And she probably she probably bailed out, be honest with you, but I it would be hard
to believe that it would actually go to a criminal case, you know, criminal court case.
And I mean, if I was the judge, I'd be like, really, you know, probably pay the fine, move
on.
You know, it really should be a civil matter.
It really shouldn't be a criminal.
If if I don't even think it should be a civil matter.
It's not like she hurt the lady.
Yeah.
Speaking of water guns, I'm going to tell you all a bonus little side story.
One time my dad was sleeping in his chair and he had like the blanket covering his face.
My brother thought it'd be funny to just run up to him and shoot him in the face with the
water gun and man, I never see my dad move so fast.
He said, boy, better come here.
He chased my brother around the house and it was pretty funny.
We still talk about that to that day.
But anyways, I digress.
So our next segment is the donut hole.
And Michael, what's your donut hole for this week?
I'm just going to preface this non sports fans.
You're more than welcome to listen.
But if if you're not really into sports, you can skip past this segment.
Today, just want to talk about the college football playoff.
Now I know it's a hot button issue to not only football fans to our worldwide listeners,
American football, college football.
And we've we've had this debate in division one football for a long time about having
a playoff.
And we do currently have playoffs, but it's still incredibly rigged.
And Chris, this isn't what fries my donuts.
But how did you feel this year about the college football playoff ended up with two SEC teams?
It really bothered me because in my opinion, I and I know I'm going to get a lot of hate
on this from the Georgia fans.
But honestly, dude, like if you lost in the SEC championship and then you have another
shot to come back here, how can you not be the your conference champion and then still
be the national champion?
Like that doesn't make sense to me.
Like it should be the top conference champions all playing each other for the national championship.
Like that's how it works.
Like in, you know, MLB, you can't have two players or two teams from the AL West or the
NL South, you know, playing against each other for the World Series title.
It just doesn't work like that.
College football has always been so weird and the ranking system has always been so weird.
And I know I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but I feel like it's always favorite
for the SEC, to be honest with you.
Well, and, you know, I'm going to catch a lot of flack for this, but it's because the
SEC has got a lot of money.
SEC has got the money, they got the TV rights, they have them, you know, a lot of fans.
I mean, most of their stadiums can fit 9,200,000 people.
So they know that, you know, we put two of them in the college football playoffs, it's
going to sell stadium tickets.
But I just wanted to propose something to you today and just see what you think of it.
What would you think of, and this is primarily fueled from March Madness, the basketball
tournament, the college basketball tournament, because it's so darn entertaining.
But I'll get into that in a moment.
What would you think, Chris, if they expanded the college football playoff to 16 teams?
You take two weeks off at the end of the regular season.
So right now there's 12 games in college football each year.
You take two off of that.
You have four playoff games down to the national championship, but you have 16 teams in there.
You have the conference champions from the Power Five conferences.
Actually, sorry, you have every conference championship.
I don't care if you're a part of, as long as you're a part of Division 1A football.
So even if you're a part of the MAC, the Sunbelt Conference USA, the American Athletic Conference,
even if it's the smaller conferences, if you're a conference champion, you're in.
There's eight right there.
The rest, the eight are at large bids.
So the Georgia's of the world would still make it in.
However, they're still going to have to play through completely.
Now there's a whole bunch of nitty gritty through that, but think about that, 16 teams.
What do you think of that?
I think that would even allow for some really good teams that maybe didn't have, you know,
maybe some losses they probably shouldn't have had.
Still get in, still get their shot.
And then also the smaller schools underdog even, you know, what do you think of that?
Well, I think it's a good practice, not just for a championship standpoint, but if you
look at it from a school standpoint, now if I'm a smaller school like East Carolina,
for example, and I'm going up against a big school like Alabama or Georgia, you know,
then I can, as a football director, athletic director, I can see how my team performs against
one of those big, bigger teams.
And then I can start trying to recruit and start building my team so they can at least
run with the bigger teams.
And you can do it from a recruiting standpoint and help build your team.
So they do have a fair shot.
I mean, you know, like I said, in the, in March Madness, like every pretty much every
team has a shot, if you're ranked in the top 25 or whatever it is, you have a shot to at
least contend for the title and they do the brackets.
And I like that because everybody has a shot in your playing your best game, you know,
a small school like, you know, East Carolina, like I said, can have a shot against a big
school like Alabama or Texas Tech or something like that.
I just think it's good to have everybody have a fair shot.
Well, and it's good for, like you said, the recruiting standpoint, because two, if they
make it to the top 16 and they're playing, you know, if we're going to use East Carolina,
East Carolina is playing Alabama.
What if somebody's never heard of East Carolina?
You know, what if somebody's never heard of that school?
You're a football prospect sitting on your couch going, who should I go to?
Maybe you're not getting the offers from Alabama, but you've got an offer from East Carolina
and you're like, wow, they made it to the top 16.
And what if they lose by three or they win?
I mean, heck, from a fan standpoint, if East Carolina knocked off somebody like an Alabama,
I mean, that would be pure pandemonium.
They call it March Madness and basketball for a reason.
It would be the same thing.
I mean, it's, you know, you can't play down to anybody.
And I mean, every, I feel like every March Madness, we go into it and we say, oh, here's
the people who should win.
And there's two or three of those that get upset by these really small schools that you've
never heard of.
And I really think that they should have an opportunity in college football to do the
same thing like the East Carolinas of the world.
Get their name out there, get the recruits.
But also, I mean, like, like Chris was saying, have kind of that benchmark, see where they're
at as a program.
And who knows, maybe even win.
I would love to see some sort of Cinderella story in college football.
I'm tired of seeing the same people every year.
I'm tired of seeing Alabama and Clemson and Ohio State and Georgia.
I'm tired of seeing that.
I want to see somebody else.
Well, my thing is I don't understand why basketball can do it, you know, and make it fair.
But then football can't make it fair.
I mean, think about it.
When we were down to the playoffs, quote unquote, playoffs for college football, there was,
I can't remember which, I think it was Cincinnati.
They were like undefeated and they were still ranked below Alabama, which had lost the game.
In my opinion, if you're undefeated, you should still, you should be number one if it's just
on a record system.
But I mean, like, like we've said, the system is rigged and I'm tired of hearing people
go, oh, we're the best.
We're the best.
No, the system is rigged and it's been rigged for years.
And I'm not saying my team's my team's Texas Tech.
I'm not saying Texas Tech is all that in a bag of chips.
They be struggling all the time.
But at the same time, I would like to see smaller schools get a fair shot.
I would just like it to be fair.
I would like just everything to be able to be fair and it to not be so obviously rigged
because we already know when we go into the next season, Alabama or Georgia or whatever
is going to be ranked number one.
They have been for years.
And even if Alabama is ranked number two, number three, they're going to jump the number
one, obviously.
But I don't know.
This isn't what fries my donuts, but I agree with you.
I think it should be more fair.
Yeah.
And I'll take it even a step further.
It's not just college basketball, too.
Every single sport has a organized playoff system that is ranked off of record, not quote,
unquote, merit.
And so I mean, even Division II, so like you go to FCS football, I guess they're not Division
II.
They're Division I, AA.
But the Sam Houston states, like the Tarleton states, the smaller schools, the HBCUs, a
lot of them are in the FCS, they have a playoff system.
They have a playoff system.
They have to play through to the championship and they have to go through the playoffs.
Why would a step below the main college football stage, I mean, everybody does, including
the same sport, just a step down from them has a playoff system.
It makes zero sense besides money.
And I mean, the thing is, and I'll get off this soapbox, you know, why have a college
football committee with all Condoleezza Rice and all them?
I mean, the thing is, it shouldn't be up to people in the quote unquote eyeball test.
Like I said, throw 16 of them in there based on their records and conference championships
and things like that.
Throw them in there on that.
Let them fight it out to the end.
That's good for everybody.
Yeah, I agree.
I so we're advocating for the definitely the play a better playoff system in college football.
And I think it'll be good.
So smaller schools, if you're listening, we're fighting for you.
But anyways, our next segment is what fries my donuts.
And Micah, you know what fries my donuts?
What fries your donuts, Chris?
What fries my donuts is when you try to help people or people ask you for help and then
you try to help them and then they act like they know more than you or they were like,
oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is it the way that you do it.
And you're like, bro, you just asked me for help.
Now I'll give you prime example.
Y'all know I work in the grocery business.
I do not like when a customer comes up to me and says, what aisle is the saltine crackers
on?
And I'm in our company.
We're trained to like actually walk people to the aisle to the product show where it is
not just point like Walmart or some of those other companies.
But so I'll start walking the way it is.
And they're like, no, no, no, it's not over there.
It's over here.
And I'm like, no, it's over here.
And they're like, no, no, no, it's not.
You don't know what you're doing.
I'm like, you're the one that came up and you asked me for help.
So I don't understand why you're trying to act like you know what what you're doing when
you asked me for help.
Yeah, I totally get that.
It happens to me sometimes too.
I get what you're saying.
I was somebody that I had to train not too long ago that they never want to show up for
work.
They never want to actually listen to what they what you're saying.
In fact, when we were in training, she actually a full on said the words of you might as well
save your breath.
I'm not going to retain any of this.
I'm just going to have to get in there and do it to understand it.
So you might as well not train me.
And then whenever it came time, people started, you know, in my business, people ask a lot
of questions to dancers and she tried to answer them with zero knowledge whatsoever.
And she tried to be the one like she knew it all, but she didn't know squat because
she didn't listen in the first place.
And the thing is, it's a little different from what Chris is talking about because she
didn't fall on ask for help.
But at the same time, when you're new, you need all the help you can get.
So kind of on the same lines, but I get what you're saying.
My thing is, and like, especially to if I'm trying to help you get to another place where
you are wanting to go, and then you turn around and just kind of spit on my face and you're
like, Oh, no, that's not how you do it.
I'm just going to do my own thing.
I'm like, Well, what was the point of me even trying to help you?
You came to me for help and you asked me and, you know, I'm not, I don't consider myself
an expert, but I do know what I'm talking about.
So if you're coming up to me and asking me for help with a problem, don't sit here and
tell me, No, that's not the right answer.
If you would have known the answer, you wouldn't have come up to me and asked me for help.
So don't act like you know what you're doing or don't act like you know the policies, you
know, and I hate that's another thing I hate about guest service.
People be like, Well, that's not the policy.
And I'm like, Yes, it actually is.
They're like, No, I know the policy.
I've been shopping here for years and I'm like, Well, things change, sir.
Like policies change.
So like, I'm here, I'm working here.
And I'd be like, Sometimes I want to tell them, Do you would you like to fill out an application
so you can work here so you can know the policies?
But I cannot say that because I would get in a lot of trouble.
But that's just my frustrations, especially helping people that are ungrateful or that
just kind of spit in your face when you try to help them or act like they know the answer
when they asked you for help in the first place.
Can't stand that kind of stuff.
Totally get you.
It fries my donuts too.
And that kind of stuff happened.
Well, we have been kind of on a fries my donuts kick with the donut hole and the what fries
my donut.
So let's go into something a little more positive, which is, can I get a drum roll please?
Mystery donut, which is the improv segment.
Now, Michael, what are we going to do for our improv this week?
We're doing a game.
It might be familiar.
It's questions only or Chris and I can only ask questions to each other about a certain
instance.
So I guess let's pick a scenario, Chris.
So our first scenario is taking communion at church.
Okay, I'll start it off.
You take the plates coming over here.
How many communion cups can I take?
I'm really hungry.
Can I have two?
When did you decide not to eat breakfast this morning?
Is this bread?
I can't believe it's not our savior.
Is this bread gluten free?
Are they actually going to give us wine or just the crappy juice this year?
Do you see the pastor's new suit?
Have you seen his Boston Celtics tie?
Did you know that the pastor's wife left him?
Did you know she's going out with the other pastor?
When did this church get so screwed up?
Okay.
That one took a little turn.
Alright, so our next scenario is, what's our next scenario, Micah?
Going to a football game or sporting event.
Okay.
Alright, here we go.
And three, two, one.
How much are concessions?
Are they going to have enough parking?
Did they release Dak Prescott before the game?
It's his jerseys just for sale.
Didn't he have a muscle spasm the last game?
Didn't they say he wasn't very good?
How much do you think Jerry Jones is?
How many mistress do you think Jerry Jones has?
Can you believe that it cost us $400 per seat to get in here?
Can you believe it cost me $90 just for one beer here?
Did you leave the snacks at home or did you sneak them in?
Isn't that why I'm wearing this trench coat?
Do you think we're going to get kicked out?
Do you think they're going to find out?
Is your mother the center for the cowboys?
Dang it.
Sorry, Micah.
I didn't mean to bring your mom in this.
That sounds good, though.
Alright, and the last scenario is...
What's the last scenario, Micah?
The last scenario is going to be in a donut shop.
Alright, I'll let you start.
Do they serve coffee here?
Are the kalachis any good?
Do they have jalapeno kalachis?
Do they offer the mustard for free?
Is this like this crappy book where we're going to describe every donut on the shelf?
Can we get a glazed donut and a chocolate donut?
Can we get one of those pinwheels?
Well, this hurt my bank account afterwards.
Well, this hurt my teeth and I have to go to the dentist.
When was the last time you went to the dentist?
Is five a bad answer?
Did you pay your deductible on your insurance so it'll cover it?
Did I make by deductible on this, so I can cover it.
How much do you think those donuts are?
If they don't.
Dang it.
Alright, that was pretty good.
Clean sweep by Chris over here.
He had the questions tonight.
It's really, really hard to play this game and it just takes a lot, a lot of practice.
So trust me, I'm no master, but it's definitely a fun game.
I think it stretches us and grows us a little bit.
But what's our next segment, Micah?
Our next segment is our last segment.
It's the E-Clear Donuts, which is our positive advice for the week.
So I'm going to start off.
My positive advice is to strike a good balance, never get too low and never get too high.
What I mean by that is it's very easy to go teeter from one brink to the other.
There was a couple times this week that I got pretty angry about stuff that I probably
shouldn't have been angry about.
It was really small stuff.
But at the same time, there were small stuff, but it's stuff that you can't really let go.
So as far as something you shouldn't just lay down and take.
So there's proactive steps that I had to take, but I didn't need to do it with anger.
There's a way to do that.
And there's a balance that you need to strike, and life is all about balance.
It's all about choices.
So I just encourage you out there, keep it balanced, keep it right in the middle, because
that's what people like in the end.
Another sports reference.
That's why a lot of people like Russell Wilson, the quarterback now for the Broncos.
I don't even know.
Chris doesn't keep up with football.
Do you know you got traded to the Broncos?
Yes, I did actually know that he got traded to the Broncos.
I did know that.
Oh, okay.
But what a lot of people like about him is he's not a very dramatic guy.
He's not in the news a lot.
He doesn't really put himself out there, but he's really good at what he does.
He's been on some bad teams.
He's been on some good teams, and throughout he's been nothing but consistent.
And the reason for that is because he's a very balanced person.
So really what I'm saying is try not to get too low, try not to get too high.
Just try to keep it right there in the middle and laugh at some of the things that you probably
would be angry about normally and stand up for yourself in the situations where you normally
lay down.
Well, that was a great segue into mine.
I know I talked maybe the first early couple episodes about making time for rest, and this
is going to kind of bounce off of that.
But make time for fun.
Just find something fun that you want to do and something that you enjoy and make time
to do.
I think so many times we get stuck in the grind.
We wake up, we go to work, we come home, we'll eat.
Maybe we'll watch a TV show or a movie, and then we'll go to bed, and then we'll just
repeat on that cycle.
But we don't really take the time to have a lot of fun, and life was made for more than
just waking up, going to work, watching Netflix, and then dying.
I think when you take time to find something, find a hobby that you enjoy, or something
as simple as going bowling or going to the arcade, or something fun.
It doesn't have to be something big and drawn out, but take time, maybe an hour a day, not
an hour a day, because that's a little excessive, but an hour a week or an hour every two weeks
to go have some fun because life is too short to not enjoy it.
And I know we've talked about stopping and celebrating our wins and stuff like that,
but we need to have fun too.
Now, there's a balance, don't go out and play video games till four o'clock in the morning
every day.
And have that healthy balance like Michael was talking about, but I think we need to
find something that we enjoy and that we have fun doing.
For us, we do this podcast, and it's not worked for us.
It's something that we legitimately enjoy.
But also too, me and Michael, we've gone bowling like, and there are times where we
go bowling every week, and they know us down at the bowling alley, and it's just something
fun, but something to just kind of take a break and reset and just to have fun and enjoy
because life is too short to not enjoy.
So make sure you make that time to have fun and be intentional about it because there
are things that will pop up, and of course, there are always responsibilities.
But if you don't take the time to be intentional and to carve out that time and have it uninterrupted,
then it'll get missed.
But have fun and enjoy it.
Well, and what Chris was, I'm just going to add on to the balance thing right quick.
From what Chris was talking about, about the balance of, don't go too far one direction
of playing, partying, doing all sorts of stuff, get fired from your job, or not really do
your full potential in whatever area of life because you're too stuck on doing and having
fun.
It's good to have fun.
But on the opposite token, don't work yourself to death either because your body will make
you stop.
It will make you stop.
And I promise you, that kind of rest is not restful if you've ever been there.
It's one of those to where your body absolutely shuts down.
It's a very horrible experience.
And so if you just take that time when you need to, your body doesn't lie to you.
When your body says I'm tired, it means that you're tired.
And whenever you feel like, man, I really don't want to do this today, that means you
need to take some rest at some point.
When it's feasible, now you need to take care of your responsibilities.
But that's that balance that we're talking about.
Exactly.
So it is time to wrap up this podcast.
But check out our website, tvtrashcan.com.
That is tvtrashcan.com.
We may or may not be making some changes to the website soon.
Those are in the works.
We got things coming in the works.
I promise you guys just hang with us.
Got a lot of live stuff going on.
Micah just recently moved, I'm in the middle of moving.
So we are going to, we're promising to bring you this podcast and more content.
Just hang with us.
We're going to bring you a lot more awesome content.
You got anything else you want to add, Micah?
Moving sucks.
I don't know.
You feel the same way.
Yeah.
But in the meantime, go check out Bibleman.
I love Bibleman.
Bibleman.
And you'll see and then go watch Batman and Robin with George Clooney.
And you'll see how they just basically solely based Bibleman off of that movie.
But anyways, I digress.
So we are going to sign off and I'm Chris.
And I'm Micah.
And we will see you guys next time.
Yes, we will.
Chris, you still got that Bibleman Bible?
I do have that Bibleman Bible.
I'll let you borrow it sometime.
Sounds good.
All right, y'all have a good week.
