  Speaker 1: Oh, just clearing the winter out of my throat, baby.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Be gone. Be gone, snow. Be gone, ice. Or hail. Dude,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: what is hail? It's basically, it's like Italian snow or whatever.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, that shit just f * * * you up.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's like Memphis snow. It's like, what are we, what,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: it's definitely, I gotta look that up. What is hail?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes it's like you're relaxed and it's raining and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: then the rain's like, oh yeah, guess what, mother.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: F * * * er.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And it just f * * * ing shows up.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And it just starts like pinging off your car, bouncing
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: off your wife's shoulders and.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: S * * *.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It's bouncing off your stepson or whatever and it makes
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you care about him. Hail is just, yeah, we gotta
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: look into that and see what they're doing. They're probably
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: charging us for it. You know, we're probably getting charged
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: for that, I'm sure. Welcome to the episode. Happy springtime, everybody.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Good to be here with you today. What's happening? Oh,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Dude, so, oh, I went to a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: little chili cook-off around me. And, you know, I like, man,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm lying. Chili is always, it's suspect. Chili is a suspect. Soup, really.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's just a bunch of, it's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like the hail of soups. It's like, all right. All right, soup.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I see what you doing. We right here. It's just
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that kind of soup, you know, it's thickened up, baby.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It's like soup got a BBL, baby. That's chili. And
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: so I went to a little, I stopped by a little, uh,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: They had a small chili tent cook-off area, and they
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: had four vendors or something in there just ladling booty
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: gas edibles into small bowls for people. So I get
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: up there, and I got me some chili, and they
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: had one place they were saying, we got all the fixings, toppings,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and this and that. You could put anything on that bitch.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: You could put cheese, onions. a little bit of GHB,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and one place was offering. But I just said, hey,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: do you have pickles? And the guy just, I mean,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this guy looked at me. I mean, this dude, he
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: was stirring this big pot of chili. He was just
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a damn chili witch, you know? And he was just
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: stirring a big cauldron of fucking booty goop, you know?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Just....
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, do you have any pickles for it?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And he's like, you want pickles on your chili? And
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah. Yeah, that's what I like. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: like putting just pickles on there. And he's like, you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: want pickles on your chili? And I'm like, dude. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it was like he couldn't understand. I was like, yes, yes, sir.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And he's like, you, you, you, you want to pick
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: up on your talent? He couldn't handle it, man. The
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: dude couldn't handle it. So I guess the moral of this,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you want to pick up on your talent? I don't
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: know what the moral of that story is, dude. Who
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: gives a dang? The moral of the story is sometimes
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you want things that people can't give you. I think
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: maybe that's the moral of the story. I got this
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: shirt on. This is a beautiful, beautiful shirt. This was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: given to me by the Bronx Fire Department, baby. Engine 43, son.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Cuatro dos, baby. QD in the house. I'll tell you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: what happened. So I was walking down the street. I'd
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: broken my toe, right? And so when you break your toe,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you suddenly everything. You see everything a lot clearer because
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you can't go fast. So you go very slow. You
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: ever see that guy that's crossing the crosswalk like backwards
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in a wheelchair by himself? And you're like, Jesus, dude.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You know, you pray for him, but you're also a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: little bit pissed, you know? You're like, dear God, help
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: this motherfucker hurry up. Well, dude, when you break your toe,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you go slower than that, dude. He is the hare,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you are the tortoise. You go slower than that dude.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So I'm in New York City. I'm walking around and,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'd just broken my toe probably 48
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: hours before. And so that bitch was big and dark.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And you could feel it had a little bit of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: heartbeat of its own, you know, like it had a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: damn bass track running through it. And I'm wearing some
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Hey Dudes that I have that, because it's easy to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: get in and out of them, the shoes. And anyway,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you're just slowly going everywhere. You know, so you start
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: meeting people and people are saying stuff at you and yelling,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you know. Hey, you know, I love the podcast.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Get out the street.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Just different. Just New York. Just New York hellos, you know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And I'm walking past this one spot and this guy
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: comes up and he's like, hey, you want to... He'd
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: been drinking and he was either... He was Italian or
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: he was like fast Polish, you know, or he was
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: either Polish or slow Italian. You know what I'm saying?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: He was in that cross. And he's like, come on, hey.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He's like, my cousin Jeremy just got promoted to– whatever
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the top of the fire department, like lead arsonist or whatever.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So he brings me, there's just a door. He, we
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: go inside and it's a huge, it's like, everybody's like, Hey,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you want some fire? It's like a fire department party.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And I think this guy, Jeremy or something had just
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: won like hose of the month or whatever. Like I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: think whoever's got the most PSI coming out of them,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they give them, you know, a lab, you know, You know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: he'd done something that, you know, it was an achievement
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: for him. So all of his buddies are there and everybody,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they're toasting and cheering and fucking like, hey, look at
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this mother, you know? And they're like, hey, if you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: ever have a fire, here's my number. Like, dude, I'm not...

• 7:02
  Speaker 1: call Antonio up, you know, in the South Bronx. I'm calling...

• 7:21
  Speaker 1: pack of matches. That was like the cool looking, the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: old school, like regular looking match books. Um, they gave
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: me this shirt to like, Hey, it's flammable. Um, But yeah,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: it was just like a great experience. So shout out
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to them. Shout out to all the fire departments out there.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to the guy that got the promotion. I dated
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: a girl in junior high school. Her dad, um, great
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: guy threatened to kill me once, but outside of that, awesome.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You know, he was a fire chief and we used
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to go over there and watch him eat hot dogs
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: and shit. And, uh, This was before a lot of
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: firemen are getting in shape and stuff. Now, this is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: back when they were just over there just snorting Oscar
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Myers and shit and just squirting ketchup on each other's backs,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you know? And just basically just gambling, a lot of them.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm not sure what I'm talking about, what
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I'm rambling about. But that was the first time at
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: her dad's fire department that I ever had chili in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: my life. That I ever had it. Somebody served it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was. I had a little
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: bit of it. And then I'd had it. You know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: that's how that all works, you know. But you want
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a pickle on your chili? You want a pickle on
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: your chili. What else has been going on? Thank you
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to the people that have come out to the shows recently.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: We've done some dates recently. Uh, we went up to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the Pacific Northwest. That was really amazing up there. So
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the bill, just the way the buildings are, the people
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: where everybody, a lot of people, they look clean up there.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Cause it rains so much. You just get cleaned. Even
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if you're just not even if you're dirty. Um, yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we did a huge show in Seattle. That was amazing.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I think it maybe was too many people. I know
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that sounds like a, I'm grateful. Everybody came. But I'd
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: just never been in a venue, and it was a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: big venue, right? And I just felt a little bad,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: like maybe the people, like some of the seats, it
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: was hard to hear. I don't know. I think some
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of that's just a fear of mine. But I don't
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: think that we will do that again. But it's just
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: a learning curve. And, yeah, we had a nice time there, though.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I got to see Mac's girlfriend. Uh, we got to
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: go to the fish market. Dude, you go to the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: fish market. I'd never, I'd never. uh, been to the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Seattle fish fair or whatever. It's like a little circus
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: or whatever that they have every day. And people come,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: there's dead fish and you can look at them.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And you can eat them. You know, it's pretty, it's pretty, uh,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Neanderthal like in a way, but, um, So anyway, we
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: go and Amir K, that's a guy that's touring with me,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a great comedian. He like points at the guys running
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the fish fair. And so next thing you know, they
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: do a thing where you, somebody throws a fish and
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: somebody catches a fish. And so they let me catch
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the fish and I fucking, you know, one toss, one kill, homie.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I gripped that bitch. And yeah, it was awesome. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: didn't know you're not supposed to spike it after you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: catch it. So that, That was, I think, frowned upon
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: or whatever, but I didn't know that. And I'd been
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: watching too many of those Gronk commercials or whatever. Anyway,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I'm rambling. What else is going on? Let's get into
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the episode. How about that? We got a bunch of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: calls that came in from you guys, and I'm going
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: to focus on those today. I got one story. I
• 11:09

• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You like pickles on your jelly? Yeah, my mother came
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in town for my birthday. Actually, it was last week.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you if you're wishing me a happy birthday in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: your head. And if you're not and you're just like, dude,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: keep talking, that's fine. She came in and they had
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the 100th anniversary at the Grand Ole Opry. And my
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: mom likes country music and she likes older country music.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And Blake Shelton was hosting the event and Jelly Roll
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: was going to perform. And my mom likes both of them.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And so I was like, oh, well, that would be
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: fun for my birthday. I'll have mom. I'll see if
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: mom wants to come in and then we'll go. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: so she came in and we went. And what was
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: it like? We got dressed up kind of. I didn't
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: do a good job of it. What I wanted to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: wear didn't really fit once I put it on. And
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: so it was just. I just had to change it
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and wore a jacket actually that somebody had thrown on
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: stage in Montana to a comedy show. I wore that.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we went over there and it was nice.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Who performed? Oh, Alison Krauss performed. And I mean, she
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: has the voice of the evening that I heard. A
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: lot of great voices in there, but my God. That
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: was just exceptional. Clint Black, we got to listen to.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Who's that other guy? Don't rock, did you? Alan Jackson. Just,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it was awesome, man. We got to sit there and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: listen to some music together. And, you know, there was
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: kind of a point in, like, there was one point
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: we were sitting there, and this is kind of, I guess,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a childish thought or whatever, but I was like, You know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I kind of wish my mom would give me a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: little hug or hold my hand or something. I know
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that sounds crazy to say. I don't mean like hold
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: my hand, but just kind of squeeze my hand. Just something,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: you know, like we don't see each other that much.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. This sounds crazy to say this kind of,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I guess. But I've said a lot of weird shit
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: over the years. I was thinking, man, it would be
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: nice if she gave me some sentimental... but physical sign,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: like sign of affection. That's what I was thinking. Right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And so I'm sitting there next to her and, uh,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and then I just reached over and grabbed my mom's hand.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: That's what I did. And, and then we were just
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: kind of held hands for maybe 30 seconds or something,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you know, just put my hand on top of hers,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: let her know that I care. Um, And it was
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: just something like, for me, like a moment like that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: is interesting because a lot of my life, I would
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: just sit there and be like, man, I wish there
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: was this moment of affection, but I wish somebody else
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: would do it, right? Or I'm upset that they're not
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: doing it, you know? And then I just did it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I just reached over and yeah, my mom's an older lady,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know? And At some point I got to be, no,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that's not it. I don't have to, but I don't know.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It was just like, well, if I want this, I
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: can also get it for myself, you know? And it
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: really had the same effect. Once I got over the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: fact of like, oh, I wish they would show the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: affection first, or I wish they would do the action
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to be the person providing the affection, which is probably
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: what I thought of a lot when I was a child.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: But then this time I just reached and I just
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: put my hand on my mom's hand, you know, because
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: she's getting older. She's not the child now, but she's,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you know, just where we're at in our lives. Things
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: are kind of even. And it still had the same
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: outcome for me. It made me feel OK. The second
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I got over that little moment of kind of jealousy
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: or wishing or not jealousy, but like wishing somebody else
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: had started the action. The second I got over that,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I just had a nice moment where I got to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: sit there and just be with my mother and watch
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: country music, which is something that we both enjoy doing.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: And something that's important to me in my life, you know,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: to have moments with my mother where we're doing something
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: that we like to do and we're doing it together,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you know. So I don't know if that sounds weird
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Honestly, man, I don't care if it sounds weird,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you know. I really don't, part of me does still, but, uh,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: but I think that part of me that, that needs
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: those type of moments is like, Hey man, finally you're meeting,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you're trying to meet just the universe, how you're taking
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: some direction to do something for how you feel, you know? Um,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: instead of just, cause I always in my life have
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: been caught in this moment, like, God, I wish they
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: would do this. I wish this, I wish this. And,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, that was just kind of an
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: interesting moment for me. And then I put my arm
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: around my mom's shoulder and just like, yeah, like she was,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you know, like she was, you know, my mom and
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: we were just having a nice time. And once I
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: did that, I was getting what I wanted out of
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the moment. You know, and I wouldn't have done it
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: if I hadn't made an effort. I'm not trying to say, hey,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: look at me. I'm just trying to say like for
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: so long, I've always been the person and I still
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: am a lot of times. But this time I wasn't
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, man, I wish somebody would do this
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: so that I would be able to have a certain
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: type of moment right now or so that to show
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: me that they care. And and I didn't really realize
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: that if I do it myself, some I can still
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: get some of that same result back. So I don't
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: know if that makes a lot of sense or not, but, um,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and yeah, just, I don't know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you, you know, you may only want, you know,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: you may, sometimes you got to put your own pickles
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: in the chili. That's what I'm saying. I think, I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: don't know if that sounds crazy, but sometimes, If you
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: want pickles in the chili and that's the only way
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: you're going to have the chili, sometimes you got to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: bring the pickles, man. Because sometimes the world just serves chili.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. But yeah, I want to speak
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that out loud too because, it's just important to me
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that I start to live in a place in my
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: life where I just don't let that uncomfortable moment of like, man,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I wish they would do this so this could be
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the outcome, where I don't let that prevent me from
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: even if I'm upset at them or whatever, that I
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: don't let that prevent me from maybe trying to take
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the action myself. I don't know. I know that doesn't
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: apply to everything, but anyway, enough about me, man, enough
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: about me. We got a lot of great calls that
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: have come in today and I want to get to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: some of those. And again, I do want to apologize
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: that we haven't gotten to do these type episodes a lot.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I think about this all the time, you know, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I think that it's important to, And sometimes it's just
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: been tough. And I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: it's been tough. And then, you know, you also have
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to talk to guests. And you're like, man,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I'd love to talk with this person. And so you
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: just try to balance it. So just bear with me.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that this community
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: is important to me. And I'm trying to fine-tune some
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: things in my life a little bit better so things
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: are more organized. So I'm able to spend my energy
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: where I would like to be able to spend it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Anyway.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I know I don't need to say that, but I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: just want you to know that. All right. We have
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: some calls that came in, and thank you guys for
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: continuing to hit the hotline. As always, the number is 985-664-9503.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And we got a call right here. Here we go.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, Theo. My name is actually Theo as well.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, hello, Theo. Good to meet the others.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Onward. I got a situation here.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: I've, I've been talking to this girl for like two
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: years and it turns.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Out I got her pregnant.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: After that all happened, the word got around.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: And somehow it turns out that she's my first cousin.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Any advice would help.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: And, uh, thank you so much.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Dang brother. That's, uh, Ooh, that's you going to be
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: raising a dang lizard, homie. You can't, um, Wow, brother,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: good golly. That's like shooting fish in a family or whatever.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I haven't looked at a
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: chart recently. I don't know the genetic legalities of that. But, dude, yeah,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, they say, you know, don't pee where or
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: don't eat where you don't piss where your family is
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: or whatever, whatever that old saying is, dude. I feel
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: like you've gone past that at this point. And God,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that thing is going to have you're going to need. Yeah,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: you're going to need a farrier to come and put
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: shoes on that thing. I'm just chirping you. I'm just
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: chirping you, dude. Look, I feel you. Look, it's having
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a child with a cousin. I think. At the very least,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: it's going to need glasses. That thing is going to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: need bifocals, brother. You know, I mean, you're just playing
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Russian roulette with your DNA right there. But at the
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: same time, man, I don't want to scare you. You know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and I do believe, I'm kind of chirping you there still,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: but I believe that everything is going to be fine.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I believe that everything is going to be fine.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I think monitor the child's gestation closely. Make sure it's tracking.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You know, make sure. That it has everything it needs?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Because it is, bring it up. Can you, who can,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: can you have a child with your cousin or not? Let's,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: now that's just a poll. That says 40% say yes.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But do you have any information on that? Oh, I
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: should look it up. Who the hell am I even
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: talking to? Dear God, out of my mind today. Can
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you have a child with one cousin? Ooh, yes, it
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: is physically possible for first cousins to have children, but
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: it is important to understand that such relationships carry a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: slightly elevated risk of genetic disorders compared to unrelated parents, brother.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm just saying not everybody, you know, some people
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: like things different. You know, some people like pickles on
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: their jelly. You feel me? So it's, yeah, I think
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you got to make sure that when that baby right
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: out the gate put that baby on a damn.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: You know, let some other people look at it and
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: sign off on that bastard right out the gate, homie.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: And definitely I would make sure, you know, make sure
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it doesn't stand straight up when the moon is full
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and shit like that when it's real young. Just, I'd
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: keep tabs on it. I'd hit a couple high notes
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: near it on the instrument and see if it fucking,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: see if its eyes turn red or anything. But you're
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: just gonna have to keep tabs on it because that's risky.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: And look, a lot of people Have good-looking cousins, let's
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: say that. But not a lot of them are as
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: brave as you, brother. So, yeah, I would just stay
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: conscious of that and recognize you have an at-risk child.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Hire a night nurse or lifeguard or whatever you got
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to get. Sometimes lifeguards will work overnight. They're cheaper. They
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: know CPR. They don't know a lot of the shit
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that the nannies know, but they're still there. Got a whistle. So, yeah,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: I think just, yeah, just stay safe, brother. And I
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: would back off that type of behavior. You know, if
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you win this round of DNA roulette, brother, I'd leave
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the rest of the bullets in the chamber, baby, when
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it comes to family. Let's take another call here. And
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: thank you to the last fellow, Theo, actually. Dear God.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that. Man, and look, hey, bud,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you to be honest with you if
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I'd have had a really good-looking cousin. TBD, homie. So
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord don't give you what you can't handle, you know.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, yeah, just get out, you know.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Just meet somebody else. Meet somebody. You know, because if
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: you're dating your cousin, you're not even getting out there.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: But maybe you're getting married to your cousin. I don't look, brother.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I would ask probably a state official
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: or somebody. I would ask a pastor about this one.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, let's get back to this call that came in.
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: Hey, Theo. I'm in welding school right now.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're in welding school. That's a good school. And
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I had a family member who started a welding school.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: It's a good business. Onward.
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: And I hate that shit. Like, I genuinely hate that shit.
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: And so I've always said my backup option is the military.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: And I'm at the point where I'm about to head
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: down to the recruiter's office in the coming weeks, possibly.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: But I just wanted to know what you think I
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: should do because I hate Welton, but I don't know
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: if I want to sign away four years of my life.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean? And it's like, I'm 18 now.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: So I'm young and I could get out after four
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: years and still not even be 23. But I don't know.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: It's just like I don't know what to do. Should
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: I stick with welding school and hate my life for
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: the next few months or the next year and a half?
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Or should I quit that and go into the military
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: and then get a bunch of free shit and a
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: bunch of discounts for the rest of my life?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Amen, brother. Thank you for asking and just for reaching out. Yeah,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: it's a good you know, this is a great question
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: because you're like, do I do a trade or do
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I go into the military? And especially you mentioned one
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: thing yet going to the military, you get discounts like
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't go into the military just because you're going
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: to get 15 percent off at Long John Silver's or whatever.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: That's not a reason to go into the military for
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: four years. just so you can get, you know, free
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: left shoes at DSW Shoes or whatever, you know, or
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: 11% off of Cheesy Biscuits over there at Red Lobsters,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you know. You know, that's not, I would take that
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: out of the equation. And I would just look at,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: do you like welding? You're saying you don't like it.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: But do you not like the school part of it?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: If you don't like this, I would find out what
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: don't I like. Because sometimes we say that. It's like,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I hate this. But what really do I hate about it?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Do you hate that you're in school for it right now?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Do you hate that you're having to learn it? Do
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: you hate that you have to get up at certain
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: hours to go learn it? Because you may love welding.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: You may not like being in class at 8 a.m.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying those things. I'm just asking you
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to or suggesting that you try to figure out, well,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: what don't I like about it? Because sometimes I'll just
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: be like, man, I hate that shit. But I never
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: really look at, well, why do I hate it? And
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: then I might realize I don't really hate that. I
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: hate this other thing that comes with that. But I
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: do believe that if you get into a trade that
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: you do not like, that you won't enjoy it. And
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I do believe that there's things out there that we
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: can all do that we would enjoy doing. I believe
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: that there's so many things. So yeah, I would take
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: a look at that, man. I would take a look
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and just decide if you do not like welding and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: military as your backup, I think the military is a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: great idea. You know, I mean, I, you know, I
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: don't think it's a bad idea, especially at your age.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: I wished I'd have gone in the military. I spent
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of time just sitting around, just trying to
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: lick my own dick or whatever, you know, or, you know,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: buying binoculars and shit and just fucking not doing shit
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: or whatever, being a fucking shitty neighbor or whatever, pervert.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: But what you, you know, you, if you go into
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the military now, yeah, you're out in four years and
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: you probably have a lot of skills. You know, you may,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: it'll probably help you get up early, stay in shape,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: all these things that are going to really help shape
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the rest of your life, right? Now, some people may
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: have went to the military and say, Theo, you know
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: what the fuck you're talking about, fucking honky, you little
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: fucking queer, you little gun pussy or whatever. That's fine.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: They can say those things. And I don't, I haven't been.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: But for you, you're saying that that's what you've thought
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: of as your backup option, you know? Now, you might,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how long the military will
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: be there, you know, depending on what they keep having
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: our military carry out and the different actions that they
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: have them do. But, I think it's an honorable thing.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for our military. And
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think you would go wrong with that choice.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of where I'm at with it, you know.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: And if you went in there, you know, you'd probably
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: make a lot of great friends. And you'd learn things
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: about yourself that you like and don't. And then you'd
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: be done. And you're right. You'd only be 22 and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a half years old. 23 years old. You have so
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: much time. There's so much time. Man, I wasted a
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: lot of time. And one of the things I wish
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I'd done as a military, just because I think you
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: don't also get those moments of camaraderie where you get
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to be around a bunch of other guys, you know.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: So those are just my thoughts. Recognize I have never
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: been in the military. But I do think you have
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: time to do that and do countless other things. And
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: if you don't like welding, you know you don't like it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: then maybe it is time for a backup trade to
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: try or a backup option. What else is going on?
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: Yo, I'm a girl and I like girls.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I had a girlfriend for a while and recently I
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: found out that... Okay, so you're a girl, you like
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: girls and okay, carry on.
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: And recently I found out that my mom's gay too.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: So now I.
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: Don't know if I'm gay anymore.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, big facts, sister. Okay. Oh, once our parents start
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: doing something, we don't want to do it anymore. So
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I think that all checks out. I think you're good.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I think just trust your instincts, little mom. Here we
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: got a call. Let's hear this one.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: You know, sometimes you land on hard times, man, and
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: you're just trying to get, you know, food to eat
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: and a place to sleep or whatever. And I'm like,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: you know, I got a five-gallon bucket of pickles, and
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I'm stealing bananas from the 7-Eleven, man.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: I'm going in there, and I'm pocketing these fucking bananas
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: from the 7-Eleven.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those are free.
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: How long can I last is what I'm thinking.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: I was just like, Could I last two months on
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: a five-gallon bucket of pickles and stealing bananas from 7-Eleven?
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Because I'm eating bananas and pickles.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: That's all I'm fucking eating.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: That's all I got to eat, man. That's all I
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: got to live upon.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: Live upon, man!
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, motherfucker. BLM, dude.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: Look.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: If life gives you pickles and bananas, bitch, mix them, bitches. Okay,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: fuck yeah, dude. I mean, there's only so long you
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: can be trapped somewhere with pickles and bananas and not
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: put them bitches together, dude. Make some binicles, homie. You
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: feel me? So, look, some picknanas, homie. I think that
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: all checks out, brother. So I don't think there's any
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: shame in it. You can always, once you get your
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: feet back under you, go back to that 7-Eleven and
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: give them money for those bananas. Let's hear a little more.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: You know, the world is a cruel place. The world
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: is a cruel fucking place, man. And I realize that, man,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: when you're eating pickles and bananas just to survive.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: You like pickles on your bananas, boy? You like pickles
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: on your bananas? You like pickles on your Well, it
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: blows my mind that we can give so much foreign
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: aid to places when we have people who are eating
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: pickles and bananas. Actually, pickles and bananas are pretty good.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: So that's not what I mean. But yeah, you would
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: think we'd be able to help our own people that
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: are starving first over here. That's just kind of how
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I feel. I'm kind of an American. I'm a North
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: America first kind of guy, I guess, because that's us
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and our neighbors. But what the fuck do I know?
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, honestly, you sound pretty healthy. You sound
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: like you're doing pretty good. You ever hit a couple
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: of high notes, dude? I think you're fine. I'd join
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: a church choir. Have somebody make some TikToks. See if
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you can start selling tickets on the road, brother. You're
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: going to be fine. But yeah, sometimes we all get
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: in tough moments. Trying to think of something where I
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: was kind of down to my last dime. Oh, I
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: do remember. I'd get that block of damn... Hamburger meat.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: That bitch came in a missile. That bitch, they dropped
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: that bitch off a C-130. That thing, you know what
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about? It's shaped like a, like both ends
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: are kind of a wiener, kind of like the front
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: end of a wiener. God, that thing was heavy. You
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: had to carry it out like this, you know? And
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: sometimes I'd mix it up by the damn Duraflame logs
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and actually put that bitch in there and just cook
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: that bitch and have her spoon it out the fire
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: to eat it. call the fire department. Hey, take some matches, huh? Um,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: but yeah, man, it sounds like you're doing okay. Let's
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: what else is going on? What else can I tell
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: you about that happened to me recently? Um, not much
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: going to eat dinner with my neighbors. Looking forward to that. Uh,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Hitting the road for some more shows. Yeah, we went
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: last week. Oh, Victoria Island, which is a beautiful, fascinating little...
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: It's like this cold, white Hawaii off of the coast
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: of Vancouver. But just great people, man. Canadians and grateful
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: to see them. I'm a Winnipeg Jets fan. Just letting
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: everybody know that now, too. I don't want that to.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Cause any issues between me and anybody else but that's
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: i'm a winnipeg jets fan so i think their jerseys
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: are fire and i like the the i like their
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: they're doing good and that's good so okay i think
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that works what else uh let's take this call right.
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: Here Hey Theo. Um, hope you're doing well. I'm calling
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: you today. Um, see if I can get your perspective
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: on something. Um, my girlfriend of four years, she, uh,
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: she passed away five and a half months ago. Um, she, uh,
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: it wasn't not a surprise, but you know, she, she
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: had cancer. Um, we thought that she had a little
• 37:59
  Speaker 9: more time, but, um, yeah. Um, Since then, I've spent
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: most of my time doing nothing, you know. I would
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: visit her grade every day for months, which is good,
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: I guess, for getting out of my apartment. But I
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: would just let the time pass, you know. But recently,
• 38:23
  Speaker 9: I've started going back to school full-time and working again.
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: And honestly, I feel like I'm just doing it because it's...
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: expected of me, you know, from like people around me,
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: my family and my peers. Um, so maybe some people
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: just expect me to move forward pretty fast, but you know, I,
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Want to, you know, um, well, thanks for the call, man. Uh,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear about that. I can't even imagine that. Um,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: in the sense of losing a girlfriend or a partner, spouse, um,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I've lost people that I've loved, you know,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and yet it feels so impossible because I think it's
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: so many things at once. It's like, you know, something
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: is gone and then the finality and the viciousness of
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: life is so evident. And at the same time, the
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: preciousness of life and how beautiful life is that it
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: could even exist, all that happens at the same time.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: And then it's not even about us really, because they're
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the ones who has life has ended. So there's probably
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: sometimes feelings of guilt that I had of like feeling bad.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: That's I'd lost someone, you know, or not being able
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: to separate the feelings into, okay, I'm in pain or
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I miss them or, um, I'm just loathing in my
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: own sadness. I'm getting into self pity. Like All those
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: types of things happened, I remember, for me at the
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: same time. And for one, it's just so much. And
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: for two, it's hard to organize it and to even
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: start to think and decide which feelings go where. I'd
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: rather just sleep. I'd rather just hope that this goes away.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I'd rather dream. I used to do that a lot.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: When my dad died, I would just try and dream
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: a lot. Because I felt like if I was dreaming,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: maybe I had a chance to like see him or
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: that my feelings could be different or I could be
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: living a completely different experience. So I think a lot
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: of it is normal. And I bet it's hard to
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: get back into the flow of something when you've lost
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: like a partner. Because you probably think a lot of
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: your life is having that partner there with you. And
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I think even if you're doing something, just even if
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: you don't feel it, just have the practice of it
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: until your feelings and your emotional wellness catch up with
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: your actions. Because one day they will, you know, and
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you'll be glad that you had started doing these things. Yeah,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I don't really know what to say, man. I just
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: appreciate you, like, just telling us what's going on.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe some people could call in, actually, and share things.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: If you had some experience with the loss of a
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: loved one, and I would say a wife, because this
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: is a man calling, I believe. So if you lost
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: a wife or a girlfriend, and they passed away, and
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: if you have just maybe some experience with that, if
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: you could drop a call on the voicemail, 985-664-9503. We
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: will come back to that on our next solo episode.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know when it'll be. It'll be within the
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: next month. But we'll come back to that and see
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: if we have some answers. Maybe we can get some
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: suggestions from other people. But yeah, man, I hate to
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: even leave you on this call. But yeah, life is just.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's just a lot of freaking pickles on your chili,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Love you, brother. Let's take another call. It's
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: hard to say when somebody's going through something like that.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: You know, but that's just also the oddness of the world.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: It just keeps moving. You can't stop it. The world
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't have any handlebars on it. Time just doesn't have any.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: It doesn't. You can't get your hands into it. That's
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: the most painful part sometimes of everything. Let's take a
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: call here.
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: Hey, Theo. I'm having a really hard time right now.
• 43:24
  Speaker 8: I'm 16 years old. I don't have a job.
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: Nothing.
• 43:30
  Speaker 8: I got my girlfriend pregnant.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 8: She just turned 18 actually not too long ago.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: I'm just kind of in this moment where I don't
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: know what's coming for me in life. Like, I feel
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: like I.
• 43:46
  Speaker 8: Failed myself because I made stupid adult decisions at such
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: a young age. And it hurts me really bad. And
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: I honestly just don't know what to do. I'm kind
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: of in this, like, moment where I feel like I
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: failed everybody around me. including my parents.
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: And I'm just not going to be the dad that
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: I'm supposed to be.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: And I'm just scared.
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: I'm just looking for any advice.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Well, at least she's not your cousin, brother. I'll start
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: right there. And people can say, well, that's just, that's
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: cruel to be joking. But hey, One last thing the
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: guys got to kind of think about right now. No, man. Look,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: first of all, the fact that you're calling even to
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: talk about this shows, I think, a level of maturity
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: that is a lot of people wouldn't do.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: So, right.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: You're curious. You're looking at what's going on. You're evaluating
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: where you're at and you you're like, well, I want
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: to get to a place where I feel either confident
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: about this or I have some support in this. So
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: how do I get there? Well, I'm going to reach
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: out to other people and see what's going on. See
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: if I can get some thoughts, some suggestions, even to
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: somebody to listen to me. Yeah, that's young to be
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: out there gunning like that, you know, just to be
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: rooting through some trap out there with no visor on, daddy,
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: you know, with no hoodie on. Yeah, but that's the
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: world we're in. So I wouldn't be, you are where
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you are. You could also look at it as that
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: God has gifted you guys with an opportunity. Uh, I
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: think people will probably be disappointed maybe in where you're
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: at because they don't want to see you miss out
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: on opportunities for yourself that could, uh, that there might
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: be less of if you have a child. That's probably
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: what the disappointment is. I don't think it's disappointment in
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: you having a child. It's probably disappointment that, well, this
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: may affect your ability to chase some of your dreams
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: or ideas because you have a responsibility now. Now, I'm
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: sure that, um, As time goes on and this child
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: comes into the world, it's going to bring a lot
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: of love into everybody's life. So don't think about just that, man.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Let me see what else did you say?
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: I feel like I've failed everybody around me, including my parents.
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: And I'm just not going to be the dad that I'm.
• 46:25
  Speaker 8: Supposed to be.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't know if you're going to be the
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: dad that you're supposed to be. That's ways still to
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: be determined. you know, we don't, we don't know you
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: that that hasn't happened yet. So don't future trip like that. Um, shit,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: the fact that you care about this this much already,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I think you're probably gonna be a pretty caring guy,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: you know, and you're going to have a, I'm assuming
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: a girlfriend or wife or her and her family as
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: well are going to help support this child. So you
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: didn't mention that, that that's going to be a fear. Um,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: I think everything's going to be okay, dude. I think
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: it's going to take some time. I bet it's super scary, bro.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: 16 years old and you're having a child. That's kind
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: of scary. I think you got to let this play out, man.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I think you have a chance to be a young dad.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Now that'd be cool. Think about that. You're going to
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: get to do stuff with your kid that a lot
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: of parents will not be able to do. So he
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: gets to play tetherball, get to do probably some racing quads,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: like some kind of high-speed shit that some parents kind
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: of age out of when their kids age into it.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Probably be able to play video games, do some VR-type shit.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: So there's going to be interesting stuff. But all I'm
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: saying is don't let all the fear take away all
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: the possibility. Now, you're probably going to have to grow
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: up pretty quick, and there might be a part of
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: your adolescence you're going to miss out on. Or it's
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: going to be different or trickier. In fact, you're probably
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: going to grow up pretty fast in some ways. But
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: maybe that's what God needs you for. You know? You
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: just don't know. We don't know what we're needed for
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: in the future. So just hang in there, man. This
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: isn't the end of the world. Hell, this is the
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: beginning of a life that you're responsible for. So it's just,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I know it's got to be scary. It's easy for
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: me to say that. You know? I'm sure there's going
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: to be moments where it's really scary. but try to
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: squeeze into those moments of fear some possibility. Man, because
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: that's cool, dude. You get to make a child. You
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: get to have a child that you're going to take
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: care of. So amen, brother, and God luck to you.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Is pornography causing a problem in your life? Do you
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: find yourself watching porno for longer periods of time and
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: having trouble stopping? Is porn affecting your relationship or dating life? Well,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: you're certainly not alone. Watching pornography has become so commonplace today,
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: and oftentimes men use porn to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: and depression. Shame and stigma prevent men from talking about
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: these issues and getting help for them. I want to
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: introduce you to my friend Steve. Steve is the founder
• 49:25

• 49:28

• 49:39
  Speaker 1: dedicated his life to empowering men to do the same.

• 49:47
  Speaker 1: friend of mine. I mean that. Valor Recovery helps men
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: to develop the tools necessary to have a healthier sex life.

  Speaker 1: come so close to to the grave, but managed to
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: stay out of it. Big bosses. We call them big bosses.

  Speaker 1: They call them in some, um, Polynesian areas. And today

  Speaker 1: Amen, brother.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: We love to get to talk to people who've had
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: miracle experiences in their lives and I just really appreciate
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: your time today. How do you say your last name there, brother?
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Tyberg. Matthias Tyberg. Oh, this angle makes me look so fat,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: but that's okay.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's fine, man. My sister's fat. And that's perfectly fine.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Matthias Tyberg, where are you located, brother?
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: I live in Calgary, Alberta.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, a lot of good people up there
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: eating steaks and just What are they doing? Mining for gold.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Is that the gold area?
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Gold, oil, yeah.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Memphis gold.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Memphis gold, yeah.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Now, you've had quite an experience in your life. I've
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: heard that you've had a couple miracles kind of occur
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: in your life. Can you kind of take me through
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: some of that situation? Yeah, how did it start?
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Um, well, there's so many different situations. I mean, I've
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: been at a party where I seen somebody that jumped
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: me before. So I told them, let's run the fade
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: or just apologize to me. And I guess he didn't
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: want to do that. So he ended up chasing me
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: and I tripped and I got stabbed 10 times at once. Oh,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: two thirds of the blood in my body.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: My God, brother. I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: for just telling us about that. Ten times, that's a lot.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, did they... Do you... Do you feel like
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: that was a lot?
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: You don't really.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: You feel like that was too many? Like, how did you.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Honestly, you can't feel it because all of your nerves
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: are on the top of your skin. So it just
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: feels like you're getting punched, but you're bleeding, you're leaking.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, brother. And if two-thirds of you is gone,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: what do you do at that point? Were you able
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: to call the authorities or what do you do?
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, one of my buddies was on the phone with
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: EMS and Snapchatting it.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: He was Snapchatting also?
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, dark times, but you got to make content, you know?
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: And which hole do you plug? Say you have 10
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: stab wounds, I guess. They're referred to as by the
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: government or whatever. Do you plug one up? Do you
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: pick the most kind of active one? What do you
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: do there?
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: Honestly, yeah. You don't really know what to hold on to, man.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: It was more or less my stomach hurt. So that's
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: why I was holding my stomach. But I was half
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: dead by the time I got to the hospital.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Did you pass out?
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Wow.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: And did you have any experience? Do you remember anything
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: when you passed out?
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: I just remember because I was on Xanax, too. So
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: I woke up in the hospital. And then, yeah, I
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: woke up in the hospital and then apparently you're only
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: allowed two visitors at once and eight people come at
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: once to come visit me. So then they kicked me
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: out of the hospital like three days after it happened.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Because what, you guys were partying a little too much
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: or whatever?
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: And were you allowed to drink in the hospital or no?
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: No, no, I wouldn't drink. They were just mad because
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: all my friends showed up at once to see if
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I was okay.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of people don't live through something like that, man.
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: No.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: I've been hit by the C train. Oh, yeah, the
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: best one is.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Wait, hold on. You got hit by a.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Well, what happened was my buddy knew this foreign exchange student.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: He gave money to these guys to try and buy
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: him a pack of cigarettes. These guys are like 30
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: years old, and they just told him to fuck off.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: We're keeping your money.
• 55:07
  Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: So i decided to go up and punch him as
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: hard as i could in the head and i didn't
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: realize the police are there so i'm getting chased by
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: this guy's buddy with like a foot long knife i
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: keep looking back still getting chased by the guy with
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: the knife then i look back it's the cops chasing
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: me so i'm at one end of a semi and
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: the cop is at the other end of a semi
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: truck Yeah, we're playing peek-a-boo to see where to go.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I'm wearing a bright red Chicago Bulls jacket, and I'm
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: freaking hammered.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Dude, that's a fresh outfit, baby. Scotty dripping, huh?
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and what happened was I ended up getting arrested
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: for assault. I got bailed two weeks later. I'm at
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: the same train station that I punched the guy at.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: I'm hammered standing on the platform. And then I get
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: sucker punched in the back of the head. And oh,
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: who is it? The guy stole that kid's 20 bucks.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: And then he just ended up pushing me like that.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: And I fell onto the train tracks and the train
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: was coming in. So there's, I didn't know what to do.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: I just throw my body above the yellow line and
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: it caught my legs and dragged me like 15 feet.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: They like rip my shoes off, rip my pants in half.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Oh God, it's a pervert basically.
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That train was a pedophile also. That sounds like
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: a bit much, huh? Dude, that's insane, man. So, and
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: were you drunk or were you already impaired when the
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: train hit you or what kind of condition were you
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: in physically just at that point in your life?
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I was an everyday alcoholic. We would all,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: all the boys would meet.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I got this question though. Sorry to interrupt you there,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: but what kind of train driver would hit a drunk,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: just hit a guy, would hit a drunk guy? Did
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: you ever speak to the driver?
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: No. Well, the thing is, is the C train's moving
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: so fast, right? So it's coming to dock into the
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: station to let everybody off. There's nothing he really could
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: have done to, I don't know.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: You can see a white dude most of the time,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: you know, no matter what's going on, but damn brother,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that. And so, so you were stabbed
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: 10 times. You've been hit by a train, but God
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: had more in store for you. Didn't he? What else happened?
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Um, the biggest one was the balcony. Cause I ended
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: up buying some cocaine that wasn't, wasn't all cocaine. So
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: there was meth in it.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Right. Them moguls got some bounce to them, huh?
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: Shit, man. Every time I looked through the little hole
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: in my door to be four people outside with weapons
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: trying to bust in. That's what I would see. I'm
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: dragging the couch.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Like a diorama kind of.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. I'm dragging the couch with the landlord on
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: it to the front door to try and block it.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Damn, brother.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: He told me to go to bed. So I went
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: to bed and woke up. All I could do was
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: get a glass of water. I looked through that people
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: in the door and the same thing. People looks like
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: people with guns are trying to bust in the apartment.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: So I tried to go from my balcony over to
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: the neighbors and I'm on the seventh floor.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: So can we, let's, let's, who are they?
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: There was nobody even in there. That's why I was
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: trying to get over to the thing.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: Is that a jump you're trying to make? Or did
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: you have a kind of a rope set up or
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: anything like that? Um, did you have a little trebuchet, anything?
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Shit, like you could, if you reached across, you could
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: pass a beer to your neighbor. So it wasn't that far.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: I just kind of was trying to leapfrog over. I
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: know it's kind of stupid, but when you're fucked up
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a great idea.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: The thing. People don't realize that people that are wasted
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: have done amazing things. You know, one of the guys,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: have you heard of Lewis and Clark?
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: One of them was an addict and they discovered like
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: a third of the North America. So let's don't. You
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: can't always beat down on addicts. But so take me
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: out there. You're on the balcony. You're high on cocaine.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: And what is your plan is to make that leap
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: over to the other balcony?
• 59:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: And then the shitty, I guess the shittiest attempt ever.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Was it windy? Was it windy?
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was. Yeah. Brother.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Big Matty, dude. Taking on the freaking Boreas twins, brother.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Taking on the Jetstream up there. Seventh floor Matty. One shot.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: And how do you make that leap, dude? Take me
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: through that. Are you wearing shoes?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: At first, I stood up right on the thing and
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: held my hand on the wall, but I was wobbling.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: With the balcony? yeah on the rail of it so
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: then i was wobbling so i was like oh shit
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: i'm gonna fall so i like crouched down to try
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: and like leap like that oh yeah.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Get some uh build up a little bit of energy
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: or whatever what is it called potential energy you crouched.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: Down yeah yeah leap my leapfrog my way down all
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: the way 70 feet.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: What happened did you bounce off the rail or you
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: even hit the other balcony.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even hit the other balcony.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, dude. Sorry to laugh. There's a glitch in
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: the audio.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's all good. I laugh about it, dude.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes, you know?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's one way to look at it, man.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: But I think another way to look at it is
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: that you're a miracle, you know? A lot of people
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: do not get to live through stabbings, through train hittings,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: through falling. How far do you fall?
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: 70 feet.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: Okay. And take me, Jesus Christ, that's a lot. And
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: take me through some of that. Like when you first
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: hit the, once you first realized you're not going to
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: make the first balcony, were there lower balconies you could
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: have grabbed?
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Uh, not when, cause damn you fall so fast. I
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: was 200 pounds at the time. And if you weigh
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: 200 pounds and you go over fifth, fall 50 feet,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: you go terminal velocity. Really? So I, yeah, I hit
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: the ground going terminal velocity for the last 20 feet.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: Big dog went down brother.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: God, dude.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: And so what were some of your thoughts during that?
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Did you get into a certain position to absorb the
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: impact or were you just kind of like letting... Were
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: you praying? What was going on?
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: When I fell down, actually, I seen like some people
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: on like the third or fourth or whatever floor it was.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: They were outside smoking on their balcony.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's pretty cool.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I hit the ground. They look over at me and
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: I tell them to bring me some liquor because I
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: know I'm going to the hospital. I can't move my
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: damn body. And I was an alcoholic at the time. Wow.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: Who survives that, brother?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I've honestly almost died even more
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: times than that. Like when I was a baby, I
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: fell into a motel pool while my parents weren't there.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: And I was drowned, pronounced dead. And I came back. So, yeah.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Well, you must feel like God wants you here for
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: a reason, brother.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: What do you feel like that is after all this?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's countless times you've escaped death, man. you know, a,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: you know, forced to swim as a baby train hitting, stabbing, stabbing, uh,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: or hot, you know, high amount stabbing 70 foot fall
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: off of a balcony.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been stabbed other times too.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: But I think, right. I understand what you're getting at,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: but I think, what do you feel like you're, do
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: you feel like you have a bigger purpose? There's a
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: reason a lot of people are not able to go
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: through all that, man. You understand that's pretty miraculous. Do
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: you understand that?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Amen, brother. And how are you doing today? What's your
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: physical state today?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: I'm a tetraplegic, so I can't feel or move anything
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: chest down. I can move my arms, but my fingers
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: are stuck like this.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, kind of like Muhammad Ali or whatever? Yeah.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But at the end of the day, I don't
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: ever complain about it because, man, I'm the one who
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: wanted to do coke. And I can't blame that on
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: somebody else.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: And you're a survivor, brother. You're a damn survivor, dude.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: You're a damn... You know what I'm saying? You're a
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: damn gravity monkey, dude. Do you think you will ever
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: walk again, brother?
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Um.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: Probably not but I'm okay with that I don't really
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: I love watching YouTube there's so much people come up
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: with stuff every day oh yeah gives me something to do.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah you can watch people walk on YouTube all
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: day if you want and take it easy you know
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: um yeah but man I just yeah I appreciate you
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: just jumping on and I appreciate you paying attention to

• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: dude you gotta come out I'd love to get to
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: meet you out.

• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Sweet, bro. Well, yeah, we'll have to catch up, dude.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: I want to touch some magic limbs you got on you, daddy.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: I want to rub them bitches for good luck. Hell yeah.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Where do you live these days, man?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: I live in, well, now I'm so crippled, I got
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: to live in like a long-term care home. So I'm
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: the youngest here. It's pretty much just older people.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Any chicks in there or what?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: No, not really. Any disabled chicks.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: You got to pray to meet the one you want.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: That's what my friend told me the other day. He said,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: are you praying to meet the woman you want to meet?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: So I got to start working on that.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: I kind of gave up because once you sever your
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: spinal cord, man, you can't even bust a nut. I
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: haven't busted a nut since I fell from that balcony.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, damn. How long before you had fallen had you
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: busted a nut, you think?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: The day before.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Amen, brother.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: Finish strong.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, finish strong.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: And look, man, you're going to bust one. If we
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: can do anything, if we hear of anything that could
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: help you, any elixirs or anything like that, we'll see
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: what we can do, man. But yeah, dude, if you
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: can get hit by a train... and still be alive
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: or whatever, you can, you'll get another nut out.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. That would be nice.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: Amen, brother. Well, thank you so much, dude. Give my
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: best to everybody up there in Calgary, bro. America's getting weird.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: We're probably all going to come up there soon. So, uh, say,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: say me room up there, big dog.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Calgary is probably the best, nicest city in Canada,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Dude, Canada is so great, man. And it's safe, too.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: That's the best thing about your stories, I noticed, is
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: that you didn't get shot.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: In one of them.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: I've been shot at, but.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: But that don't count. You got to come to America
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: to get shot, brother. That's where we do it.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: They won't let me across the border.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, we'll see what we can do. Well, look, right
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: now you're probably an insurance risk, I would guess, so.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: yeah um but yeah dude that's a good thing about
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: Canada they got knives so you always stand a chance
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: you know that's one thing I like.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah at least you're not getting shot just killed instantly.
• 1:07:11

  Speaker 9: What's up, gang?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: Yo, man.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 9: Um i just got one question for you man like
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 9: um i'm dealing with.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 6: Active addiction with you know the blow or whatever but.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah doing cocaine brother i hear you what's going on
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: and i'm.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 9: Just i just want some tips or some advice man
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: on how i can keep this shit like there's that problems, man.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 6: I said, I'm going to stop. Never do.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 6: You know, you went through the same shit, but.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for calling Willie. Um, the only things I
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: know about this are, I don't think you can, uh,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: quit cocaine without quitting alcohol. That's for me. That's what
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: I've seen. I'm not saying that's everybody's case. I'm not,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: that's for me, for me, that's what I've seen. And
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: then let me think about what else. Um, Yeah, I
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: think you have to get into recovery. Now, if you're
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: pretty bad off, first you need to go to a detox.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: And then once you're clean, then you need to get
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: into a recovery program. You know, maybe a 30-day or
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: an inpatient or then start to go to Cocaine Anonymous
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: or Alcoholics Anonymous meetings with a friend. If you don't
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: like Cocaine Anonymous meetings, I suggest Alcoholics Anonymous because there's
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: more meetings and it's the same thing. Cocaine and alcohol
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: aren't the same thing, but addiction is the same. So
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: if you can... you can apply the same principles and
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: you can talk to a sponsor about doing that I
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: wish I had some other cure for you that's the
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: only thing that I know that's ever helped me so
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: I wish you the best of luck man it's scary
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: you know what I realized too about drugs for me
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: I was just too much of a pussy to do
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: them really some people could get all fucked up and
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: have a blast I couldn't do that I'd get all
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: fucked up and squirrel away I'd hide in your fucking
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: mailbox bitch UPS boy I'll hide in your cousin's ass, boy.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: And take everybody's temperature in there, dog. Praise God, man.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you for calling, brother. And thank you guys again
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: for all the support. We may add a few more
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: shows to this tour. We're almost done with it. And
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: I just want to let you know that. And thank
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: you to everybody that's come out. I can't even believe it.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: What else can I update you on? Oh, we're figuring
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: out some of our stuff with the foundation and what
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: we're going to do. Been doing some calls. with different
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: people and just figuring out how to, like, make a
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: positive difference in the world or in our community starting there.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: So that's something that's exciting. I want it to be
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: in the recovery space. I don't know what it all
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: looks like. But in my spare time, I've been just
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: discussing with other people who have done similar type things.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: And I just need to pray a little bit more
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: and see if I can get more insight, you know.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Just to lead me to something. Because, yeah. I mean,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: there's causes for sure. There's lots of things. But I
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: want to land in a space that I'm going to
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: feel motivated to keep doing. You know? One more call

  Speaker 1: Oh, thanks, Lenore. That's sweet of you. I appreciate that. Yeah,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: that's just sweet of you to say. I feel, you know,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: I think I feel a little more purposeful sometimes in
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: my life these days, I think. I think there was
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: this moment kind of even when I had, whenever we
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: talked with Cat Williams on the episode and he said, well,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: I was talking about, well, I don't know about this.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know about that. And he's like, well, what
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: don't you know? He's like, You're here. You're in this
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: conversation right now. You're in this moment. So to keep
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: second-guessing everything, you know, you're here.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Like, I think there was something like, I don't know
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: if we should talk about that. He's like, well, when
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: are we going to talk about it? We have to
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: talk about it. We're here talking about it. You know,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: in a lot of my life, I've been standing in.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I've been standing in the, in the water,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: but not really ready to get wet. But it's like,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: but I'm, I'm in the water, you know, but it's like,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for this. But there was this moment with
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: him where he's just like, this is where you are.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: This is, and I don't mean me, but it's anybody.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: This is where this it's, if it's happening now, it's
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: happening now. Like the, you know, Because a lot of them,
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: I'm always like, you know, this and later and it's like,
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: you know. So I do feel sometimes a little more purposeful.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know even what that means exactly. But I just,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I start to feel a little bit
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: more okay where I am, you know. And that, yeah,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: I believe that, yeah, I believe that God's given me
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of neat stuff. Like, you know, I believe
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: that you guys have helped me learn like how to
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: express like my feelings and learn about.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just thinking and feeling together. We've done a lot
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: of that on this program over the years. And yeah,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: I think at some point, you know.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: There are... positives from that, you know? And so I think, um, yeah,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: that's where I feel. I feel like a little bit
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: like there's a reason that all this has kind of
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: happened and that there are some positives and let's start
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: to maybe see what those are. And not just in me,
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: but just like, yeah, what, what can be done as
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: a group? What, what can, uh, start or be a
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: part of starting? Um, or what can we be a
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: part of starting that could, uh, be of service, you know,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know exactly what I'm saying, but,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: but I'm able to say it now more than I
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: felt like I was in the past and feel like
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: that's where I'm supposed to be. So you gotta feel
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: lucky to be alive, you know, lucky to get to
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: see certain things. And I think America's getting weird and
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: interesting and it's getting like good versus evil type shit.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm here for that shit. You know, I think
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: we've all always wanted to live in like In the
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Gryffindor vs. Slytherin type shit. Type shit. But anyway, thank you.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: Thanks for the happy birthday wishes. What did I do?
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: My buddy John Shahidi from Happy Dad sent me a gift.

• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: me something?

  Speaker 1: My mom was never a gold digger. She was a
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: silver digger, though. Shout out to silver diggers, dude. They
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: don't end up with shit, but you know, but they're
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: not gold diggers, dude. But my mom, like, you know,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: she's ready for like the end of things.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: So she's ready. She's like when the banks go awry
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: and all the, you know, everything falls apart online, you're
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: going to have, so you could have real silver and
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: you can trade it for stuff. So she got me, um,

  Speaker 1: like an ounce of silver. So that was really cool.

  Speaker 1: I never had that. And what else? Oh, I got
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: a pair of boots, bought myself a pair of boots

• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Trying to think. Oh, I had to work. I had
