• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining me here today. Thank you for
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: letting me be a part of your life and you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: be a part of mine today. Happy Mother's Day. We'll
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: start with that. We got a nice episode of we
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: got some Mother's Day stuff. We're going to get into
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a little bit of light news. And then we had
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a call a few weeks back about grief and loss.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And we had a lot of nice feedback calls today.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and informative, heart-ish, heartfelt contributions. So we'll get into those
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: in a bit as well. But, yeah, Mother's Day, that's it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Because your mama raised you. Think about that. Your mama, boy,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you was doing nothing, your little ass laying there. doing nothing, boy.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Hunting for a fucking hand tit. That's all you was doing.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You was just hunting for that little hand tit with
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: your little hands. You was a little slurp lord. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: your mother raised you. First of all, if something came
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: up to me and started sucking on my breast, on
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: my tit, or whatever it's called, tit for men or whatever,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I would not then raise it. You have to think
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: about that. If something started sucking on your tip, would
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you take it off and then raise it and grow
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it to its full form? Only a mother would do
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that type shit, boy. That's some next level. That's some
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: next level behavior mothers out there. With your ass, too.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: A lot of kids never washed their ass. We had
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: a buddy. His legs just knew his pants so well.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: He wore the same pants always. And so you knew
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: good and well. So nobody was washing his ass, boy.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Not a chance. Even his mom, and she tried. You
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: see her warm up some water on a stove in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a stove pot and pull his pants back and just
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: dump it right down the back of his pants, hoping
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to even get a half wash or quarter wash on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: his ass with that warm water. But damn, your mother,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: our mothers did that. And when we couldn't read, imagine
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you sitting there with somebody, right? And they can't read,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know? And you got to teach them to, you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: start with the first letter and you show them that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And it's a picture of like an alligator and a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: little kid and the mom's like, what's that? And he's like, lizard, lizard,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: or whatever. He can't even say shit. He don't even
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: say nothing. He just look at you and try to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: cop a quick hit off that tit. That's a dumb child.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We were all dumb child. Our mother helped us out
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of that. Out of that cavern of knowing nothing. God.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: They did a lot of work. And then even on some,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: once you were in school, when you had to go
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to school and take a test, and you was dumb, buddy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You was damn dumb. You was a dumb child. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: your mother still hugged you and said, you're going to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: do good on it. I remember my mom would be like,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you can do great on your test. I'd look at
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: her like, really, I am? Yeah, you're going to do great.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: And I would leave out the door and I'd peek
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: back in the window. You could see her just shaking
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: her head like, he's going to fuck it up. But
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that's crazy to send something, know something is going to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not do well on a damn test. Spelling or whatever
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: it's called. And send it out in the world and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: still hug it. And pretend like when they get back,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: how'd you do? You fucking know good and well how
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: they did, mom. They didn't do shit, boy. They didn't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: do shit, bro. Opening pants. Another batch of warm water
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: on that ass. It's spring cleaning. Mother's Day, man, that's
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: what it is. And that's what it ain't, man. Yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I want to say happy Mother's Day to my mother.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I know she watches this show and I appreciate that. Man,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. The
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: ones that do it by themselves. And some of y'all
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: have help. Yeah, it's just this. We know you're doing it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Somebody's doing it. And it ain't us. It ain't us children.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: We think we did it ourself. We didn't do shit.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So make sure to reach out to your mother. Hit
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: her with a happy Mother's Day. Get her something. We
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: got one of our commercials. They got a good advertising
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of something beautiful. You get her some good items or something.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Break her off something. Get your mother something. Drive over there.

  Speaker 1: had been drinking milk and then just fart, just did
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: a fart, bruh. It just sounded like somebody had taken
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a tight foot out of a wet boot, you know?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Out of a wet rubber boot. But anyway, what is that?
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day, bro. That's what I'm telling y'all. I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: got a massage, and you got to take care of

  Speaker 1: Medium guy. But I tell him right when I walk in,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: don't jerk me off. I do that myself. I do
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: it at home. I do it under, you know, I
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: do it with closed blinds or whatever. Music on, music off, whatever.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I don't jerk off with the fan on. I say
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: that point blank. You see some dudes, bro, I know.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I got buddies. You walk in their room, they smell
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: in there like they've been jerking off. And the fan
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is on, bro. Have some respect, bro. You out there
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: drying out your root or whatever, and you out there
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: popping off, bro. You out there freaking earning pearls out
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: of your own pocket. own ween out there. So, praise God.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: We'll get to an ad in just a second. We
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: got a new pope. Is that right there, Easton?
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: That is correct.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And what did you think about it? What's the news
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: on him? You got any information on him?
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: He's the first American pope.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, he is from Chicago, Illinois.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: The Bears, boy. Wow.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I'll pull up his name here. He's going by Pope
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Leo XIV, and his name is Robert Prevost.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Bobby Prevost, baby. And who do the Packers have? Aaron Rodgers, dude.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It's a wrap, bro. Jordan loved it, dude. Nobody. The Pope. Ding, ding. Dude,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: we got the Pope, huh? Go Cubs go. Hey, Chicago,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: what do you say? We got the Pope today. Gang, boy,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: we right here. Big gay. Big gay. Damn, bro. Hope
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: he stops the massaging of children. You know what I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: talking about? We shut it down, brother. I don't know
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: if we can say that. And how do we know
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: when they pick the pope?
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: So they, I guess all the cardinals, there's like a
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: bunch of, I don't know how many. They all like silently, secretly,
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: like you know that thing you did in school where
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: you let it like close your eyes and raise your
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: hand and the teacher counted? I guess it's like that
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: where they like secretly vote.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: And they don't decide until I think it's like a
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: two-thirds majority.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Like heads up, sovereign up or whatever? Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: So if the pope, I guess every day they do it,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: and if the pope hasn't been chosen, they do, like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: black smoke out of the chimney. And then if the
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: pope does get chosen, then it's white smoke that comes
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: out of the chimney.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, really? So how long did it take them to
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: choose this pope?
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: I think just, like, two days. Because yesterday it was
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: black smoke, or two days ago it was black smoke,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: and then yesterday it was white smoke.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Damn. So it's only two days. Have we ever had
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a black pope yet? No. Wow, bro. That's what we
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: got to get that black Pope boy. Big gay. What
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: about an Asian Pope? Have we had it? Oh, we
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: got to get a damn low Asian Pope boy. Just
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit of prayer fried rice boy. You feel me?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I want to say thank you to mom for having
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: all the answers. She had them all. She didn't. Sometimes
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they were wrong yet, but she had them all. Imagine
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: something just asking you questions for 18 years and more.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And you do your best to answer every one. Yup,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: that's a mom. But this year we're answering for mom.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: And the answer is we're going to give them flowers
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: plus a real break. Because moms are at it 24-7.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: And flowers, it's nice, but you know what they really
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: want is a break. from everyone's questions, from the endless
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: to-do list, from momming. Oh, I still ask my mom
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: so many questions. I will call and ask my mom
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: what shoe size I wear. I could look in my shoe.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I could do a ruler against my foot. But I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: will call my mom, and if she doesn't answer it
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: when I call, I will just not know what my
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: shoe size is for the day. Oh, if I was
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: a mom, I would just put earplugs in. That's what
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I would do. I would tell my kids I would
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: have like one of those lights that taxis have above
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: them on the top of a taxi that says when
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: it's available or not. I would turn the light off,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: not available. And then I would, what would I do if.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: I were a mom?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, I would get in a big bubble bath. That's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: what my mom used to do. She would yell. She'd
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: yell at us and say something. And say we weren't
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: going to be able to have something, then you'd hear
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: her slam her door. And then every now and then,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you'd hear her get in that bubble bath right there.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: And maybe crack open a cold beer or something. A
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: cold little can of milk or whatever. You'd hear her
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: crack it open and get that bubble bath going. Sud
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: so high you couldn't see, hear nothing. Is she in there?
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know what she would. And I think she
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: would just sit in there in the bubbles and have
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a little sip of beer or cold milk. Something to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: get her through the day, man. So if I was
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a mother, I would do that. Oh, and I forgot
• 24:37

  Speaker 1: episode we had called Chili Boy or something like that.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Was it Chili Baby? Chili Boy. Chili Baby. Chili. Oh,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Pickle Chili. And it was about a month ago, and
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a man called in who had lost his girlfriend to cancer.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: So we're going to take a quick listen to that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: Hey, Theo.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: Hope you're doing well. I'm calling you today to see
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: if I can get your perspective on something. My girlfriend
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: of four years, she passed away. five and a half
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: months ago. She, it wasn't, not a surprise, but, you know,
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: she had cancer. We thought that she had a little
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: more time. But, yeah, since then, I've spent most of
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: my time doing nothing. You know, I would visit her
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: grave every day for months, which is good, I guess,
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: for getting help.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: He goes and visits her grave every day, you would say,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: for months onward? And thank you for sharing this brother.
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: My apartment. Um, but I would just let the time pass,
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: you know, but, um, recently I've started, uh, going back
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: to school full time and, uh, working again. And honestly,
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: I feel like I'm just doing it because it's, uh,
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: expected of me, you know, from like people around me,
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: my family and my peers. Um, I guess in other words,
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: that is, I'm, I'm pretty young, but, um, so maybe
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: some people just expect me to move forward pretty fast,
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: but you know, I, I don't want to, you know, um, yeah. Um,
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: I just, you know, sometimes you feel like you're like,
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: I feel like I was like left behind, you know?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Um, yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the call brother. And, um, and we, we,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: we discussed this on a previous episode, but we had,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: we got some calls that came in and, I wanted
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to listen to some of them here just so you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: can get an idea. As always, the hotline guide is 985-664-9503.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: And here's a call that came in about grief. We
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: asked callers if they had any suggestions for that gentleman.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: And here's some of the responses that we got.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Hey, Theo. Man, I love your show, bro. Listen to
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: you every day or every time you make a podcast.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: I'm actually listening to Pickle Chili right now, and I
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: heard the caller call in about he lost his girlfriend
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: or whatever, and you asked some people to call in,
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: give some ideas of how maybe he can handle this situation. And, look,
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: I actually lost my daughter five years ago to this
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: day from a brain aneurysm. And I guess the only
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: advice I can say is, like, man, don't let nobody
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: tell you how long you should grieve. It's going to
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: be different for everyone. Because not every situation is going
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: to be built the same. So do it at your
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: own speed, man. There's going to be a lot of
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: people that's going to want to get involved and tell
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: you how you should do these. But you have to
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: experience this the way that you need to experience this
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: to make it right for you. I have dreams about
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: my daughter often, man. And it's funny because, like, in
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: my dreams, I know she's passed away and I know
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: she's not with her. So while I'm dreaming, I just
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: try to hug her and talk to her and make
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: that dream last as long as I can. You know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: and look, bro, miss her. Miss her every day. I
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: talk to my daughter. I miss, I mean, every night
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: before I say a prayer, I talk to my daughter,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: and I've been doing that since the day she's passed away.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: And look, last but not least, bro.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: It doesn't get easier.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: It really doesn't. It just becomes a new type of normal.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: If that makes some sense, bro.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Man, Theo, gang, gang, love you, bro.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Love you too, bro. Thank you, man.
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Man, that's just, that's a lot, you know, it's, that's
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: nice of him to call. He called out of Louisiana.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I see that area code 337 over there. And you
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: can hear the bayou in the back of his drool
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, I remember after my dad was gone,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: even still, sometimes if I'm having like a tough day
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: whenever I go to sleep at night, I'll, yeah, I'll
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: hope that I get to see him or that he
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: shows up, you know. And then sometimes it's like gets
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to be further. Sometimes it's like further and further between times.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And then, yeah, and it's just like you just wish some,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: like you hope that somebody will be there. But then
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: sometimes they are in your dream. And, yeah, that's awesome, man.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: That's a really nice sentiment to share. Thank you for
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: that call. Let's take another call here.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: Hey Theo.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Hey man.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Just wanted to call in, uh, in response, listening to
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: the pickle chili podcast and, uh, the guy.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you for listening, man. I appreciate that. Thank all you,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: all anybody who listened.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: I lost his girlfriend and after five months wanted to
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: respond to somebody that's been through that too. Uh, lost
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: my fiance, um, high school sweethearts, um, yeah day before
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: my birthday she was in a car accident and uh
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: it's tough man it's somebody that you've been with for
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: seven years um at a young age i was uh
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: 21 she's 20 so it's kind of rough but just
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: wanted to respond to him and let him know the
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: things that have helped me and maybe it'll help him
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: and somebody else and the biggest thing is i got
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: all those the same symptoms as him um you know,
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: didn't want to do anything, you lose your purpose in life.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: And some things that you touched on, Theo, you know,
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: you want to dream, you want to feel all that again.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: And it's all true. But the thing that helped me
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: the most is surround yourself with friends and family. And
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: those things right there, the people that love and support you,
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: I'm still close with her family. And those things help
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: you get through it, man. So anytime I'm having those
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: rough days and weeks and, and you just, like you said,
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: get out, surround yourself with people that love you and
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: your friends, go do some things.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: With your friends.
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: They're always there for you. And, uh, I got a dog,
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: you know, and that really helped me get through that too, man.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: You always got somebody excited to see you when you
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: get home. And, uh, That's it, man. That's really the answer.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: You'll never forget. You'll never move on completely. You hope
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: to have a normal life. But the things that help
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: you push through it are going to be just love.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: Surround yourself with people who love you.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Amen, man. Yeah, there's a song I love. There's a
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: song by this guy, Stephen Wilson Jr. Thank you for
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: that call. And thank you to the caller previously too.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And thank you guys for both sharing your experience with loss. Yeah,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: there's this song, Grief. Is that by Stephen Wilson Jr.?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: And it's grief is only love that has nowhere to go.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And I thought about that. I thought about that since
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: that gentleman called in. Because love is like, love is
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: this feeling that it has to land on someone or
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: an object. It has to land on something, right? Like
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: a person, place. Love has to have a place to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: land if you love. Like you can love yourself, but
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: that's more like integrity and confidence. And then it can
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: even drift into ego or whatever. But when you really love,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: you love someone, you know? And so love is really,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: it's an outward thing. It's, it's not, it's yours, but it's,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: if it's active, it's not yours. It's, it's a, like
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: a bridge almost kind of. And then, yeah, once that
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: recipient is gone, once that place where it was landing,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: is gone. It's like, um, it almost becomes, it's crazy
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: that something that is so wonderful can become so painful
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: because then you had the, all these same feelings, but
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: they don't have the place to land. Um, yeah, I
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: remember when my father died, I remember I just, I
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: was at his funeral and it was like the most
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: like scariest thing ever. There was people there that I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: didn't even, I didn't know any of them. And, uh,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: my name, um, this family that I just moved in with,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: the dad took me over there and, uh, and some
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: of our neighbors went with me. And I just remember like, uh,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: it was all these feelings that I think I didn't
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: even know that I'd had that I wanted to be
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: for my father. And I didn't even know I had them.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: And now it was just like, they were, they hit
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: a dam, you know, they just would never have a
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: place to go. And I just remember like just so
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: much tears and like, crying and like it would be
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: like going into the cracks of the floor and I
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: just wanted to I just wanted to be one of
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: those tears I wanted to just disappear let's take some
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: other calls man and we're not trying to make that
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: like I guess it can't help but be like sad
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: but I think it's real right and it's real this
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: is you know life is real And it's full of
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: real things. And I'm just glad we don't have to
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: go through them alone. So that's a nice thought to
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: have right now.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: Hey, Theo.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: I'm replying to the gentleman that had recently lost a girlfriend.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I had lost my girlfriend back in 2018. So it's
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: going on seven years now.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: It's tough.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: And it sounds like he was looking for... answers when,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: you know, the only thing that I could say is like,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: it sounds like he's on the right track.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: And if I was him, I.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Would just choose to live through the memories that they
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: shared together. Um, I remember my girlfriend always telling me that,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: you know, she thought I was a good teacher. And
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: so now I'm in a field where I'm able to
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: teach people things and, um, I just feel like every
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: time I do, I just, it reminds me of her
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: and there's just like, it's no longer a sadness anymore.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: There's a happiness in it.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, it's funny. Um, thank you.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I'm belting out a little bit of Celsius, but, uh,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: thank you for the call, man. Yeah. I remember my dad,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: like one thing I, like one of the only things
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I remember he said to me ever in my life
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: was that I was a survivor. He used to always
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: say that you're a survivor, you know? And maybe he
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: knew that because he was so old that it was
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: be something that I would need.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: But it's like, it's like one thing that I just
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I relate to or something, um,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you know, like I'm going to get through this, I guess,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: you know? So I think that's really magical that when
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you act out something that somebody who loves you told
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: you you were, when you do those things, that you
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: are kind of servicing that relationship that's no longer there.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Like if she says that, where you said this part.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I remember my girlfriend always telling me that she thought
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: I was a good teacher and So now I'm in
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: a field where I'm able to teach people things.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I could totally see that, man. That by then
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: teaching that you feel like you're honoring her. And it
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: makes you feel that same way that you felt when
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: she told you it was something that you did really well. Yeah.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It's interesting how we figure out how to keep going
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: in the world, all of us. And that we want to,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: that's one thing that I think is amazing about life, uh,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: is this will to survive, right? It's like you have
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: a man that lost his daughter and he's, you know,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and there's, it's like he wants to go in at
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: least wake up and see the day every day because,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: you know, probably through his eyes, his daughter somehow gets
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to see the day as well. You know, I think
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: there's just something in us that wants to survive so much. Um,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know what to say about that
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: or what I think about that thought. But thank you
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: for that call, man. Thanks for sharing that. All right.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Let's take one more call.
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: Hey, Theo.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: This is Tyler from Cincinnati.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, Tyler, thank you for calling, dude. Cincinnati over there.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Will the Bengals have a decent defense? I don't know.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: All the money's on the offensive side of the ball.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: It feels like if they let Trey Hendrickson go. Now,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: with that said, is it a Joe Burrow make or
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: break year? We'll see about that, baby. Onward, brother.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I don't have personal experience with a loss of an
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: immediate loved one, but I've walked next to someone who has.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: And our church offers counseling around that. And one of
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: the resources we use is this book called Dark Clouds,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Deep Mercy. I highly recommend it to everyone who is
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: dealing with loss. And I buy it for anyone close
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: to me that I hear has a loved one who
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: they've lost and they've found some peace from that book.
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: Hopefully that can be a resource to some people who
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: are listening.
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: Thanks, Spike.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: All right, yeah, thank you for that suggestion, man. I
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of grief books out there and stuff,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: but it's just like, how do you go through it? Yeah,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: it's interesting, the young man who called earlier, the first call,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the original call was saying that he felt like he
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: got left behind. Yeah, it's just, it's all kind of fascinating,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: even though it's so sad. The other day this came
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: up on my feed when I was thinking about grief.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: And it's Jim Carrey once said, or this site attributes
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: it to him. Grief is not just an emotion. It's
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: an unraveling. A space where something once lived but is
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: now gone. It carves through you. leaving a hollow ache
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: where love once resided. In the beginning, it feels unbearable,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: like a wound that will never close. But over time,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: the imprint remains, a quiet reminder of what once was.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: The truth is you never really move on. You move
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: with it. The love you have does not disappear. It transforms.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: It lingers in the echoes of laughter and the warmth
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: of old memories. In the silent moments where you still
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: reach for what is no longer there. And that's okay.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It's not
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: proof that love existed. That something beautiful once touched your life.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: There is no timeline. There is no right way to grieve.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Some days will be heavy and some will feel lighter.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: will fill you with gratitude for the love you were
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: lucky enough to experience. Honor your grief, for it is sacred.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: It is a testament to the depth of your heart.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And in time, through the pain, you will find healing,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: how to carry both love and loss together. Man, that's
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: pretty powerful. Yeah, whenever I had heard that quote, that, yeah,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: that grief is only love that has no place to go.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: It's a great song too by Stephen Wilson Jr. I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: don't believe that the quote is his, but it's a
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: great song. Yeah, like you have memories and sometimes even
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: just telling a funny story about someone that's gone can
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: almost make you have the same feeling as if they
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: are still alive sometimes. but yeah thank you guys for
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: anyway listening to that I know some of that stuff's
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: kind of heavy and stuff to think about but it's
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: nice to take moments to think about people and just
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: hear what just be alive yeah it's nice to just
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: be alive yeah I don't mean that I just mean
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: it's I don't know what I mean Anyway, yeah, thank
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: you everybody who made some calls and called in. There
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: was a lot of nice calls and suggestions and we
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: tried to put some together there. You know, I wanted
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: to say something. There's been something that's just been kind
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: of on my heart and so I feel like I
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: should bring it up. There is, you know, we've had
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: people on the podcast in the past to talk about
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: it and there's just a, there's a conflict that's been
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: happening in the middle East. People know about it, um,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: between Israel and Palestine and some of the areas over there,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the Gaza area they talk about. And, uh, and I
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: just think it's, it feels to me, I don't know
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: if I, it just, it feels to me like it's
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: a genocide that's happening while we're alive here in front
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: of our lives. Um, And I don't, sometimes I feel
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: like I should say something. I'm not a geologist or
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: geographer or anything like that, you know? So I don't
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: know a lot of the, some of it I do
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: know though. Like I know the basics of the issues
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: over there, but for me, it's just like how I
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: feel like you see all these photos of people, just children, women, people,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: body parts, just people like putting their kids back together.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: And I just can't believe that we're watching that and
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: that more isn't said about it. And so I'm not
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: saying anyone else needs to say anything, but I think
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just that more isn't said about it by me.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: So I just, I want to be able to speak
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: up about that, that I think we're watching probably like,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: you know, one of the sickest things that's ever happened. And, uh,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm sorry if I've kind of haven't said about it,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I've tried to talk about it and learn about it. Um,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: but I don't know, maybe I just want to, I
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: just wanted to say something. I don't even know what
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: to do, you know? And it's crazy because our country
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: is also complicit in, in, you know, it's, uh, in,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: in it and has been for a long time. And, um,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: and it's just kind of interesting because then you just realize, oh, well,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just a, yeah, I'm a member of this country,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: but I'm just, what we want sometimes doesn't matter, you know,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: and you just have to be a member of a
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: place and your government is making other choices. So I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: don't know if I've, I don't know if I said
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: that correctly, or I don't even know exactly what I said,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: but I just, I just have, it just like been
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: making me really sick. And I feel like I just
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: needed to say something that I think you don't have
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: to think that I'm not asking you to do anything. Um,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: but I just have to say that. So I'm not
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: sitting by, you know, there's that peace inside of me. Like, why,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't you, can you say something? You know, there's
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: people that can't even speak and you can say something,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: you know? And so that's how I, I just had
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: to just speak up anyway. I think maybe it's starting
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: to make it about me there at the end, but, um, yeah.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: So just praying for those people and just the grief
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: that that is all going to cause. You notice like,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? And I know that this has
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: happened to other ethnicities and other cultures. I know that
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: it's happening to other places too. I just don't see
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: that as much. And so, yeah, anyway. Anyway, that was
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: kind of a downer ending, but... Big guy!
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: So.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Mother's Day is a good day to just be reminded
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: to love people, whether it's your mother or a kid
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: or a puppy or a little alligator, whatever you got
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: over there. Even if it's a memory. Get a picture
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: out of somebody that was a member of your life
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: or that loved you. And spend a few moments with them.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Or that's what I'm going to try to do. I
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: got a couple pictures of my dad. I think there's
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: a couple memories that I keep of him that are like,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: That are just mine, it feels like, you know? Yeah,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: there's a couple memories of him that I feel like
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: are just mine. And so, yeah, you can spend time
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: with those. You're the only two people that have those
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: in the world is you and that other person. So
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: that's a really...– that's one of a kind. So that's
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: really something cool that you can do. But anyway, this
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: is getting long. Happy Mother's Day. Thanks for letting me
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: be a part of your life today. Thanks for being
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: a part of my life today. And– I don't even
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: know how to end this, what to do. I don't
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: even have any music on today, so. Big day. Yeah,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: big day. Yeah, big day. But yeah, anyway, quit listening
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: to me. Text your mom, even if you hate her,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: text her and be like, hey, ma, love you. And
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: then just send a wink emoji after it. That's how
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: you look, hey. It's a start, right? You guys be
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: good to yourselves, baby. Praise God. Thank you. Oh, and Easton.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Easton, for helping us out today.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Dude came over. We never even met. We never even met.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: What are you getting your mom for Mother's Day, Easton?
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: I think me and my siblings went in on something.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: I don't really know what it is yet.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: I'll find out on Mother's Day as well.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Type shit. Dude, the craziest is when you buy something
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: to your siblings, right? They picked it out. They show
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: up with it. Mom opens it. She likes it, but
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: you don't fucking like it.
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: It's happened a few times.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Dude, that's one of the– that's why being
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: a mom has to be so crazy. Something crawls out
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: of your body, right? Hangs out in the kitchen for
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: probably 15 years, right? And basically– I don't get it. Sorry.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: I don't, there wasn't an ending to that, but, uh, yeah, dude,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: that would be the thing. Somebody got my mom, one
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: of those boat in a bottle thing, ship in a bottle.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about?
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We all gave my sister some money and she
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: was going, she was, she'd been using or whatever, or
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: mountain climbing or whatever she called it. But she, um,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: we gave her the money. She shows up. We each
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: gave her like 80 bucks. She shows up. She was
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: supposed to have something nice for her mom. She got
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: her one of those fucking ship in a bottles, dog.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: Had no change with it. Like, bitch, give me that
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: fucking change, bitch. Come on, big guy. All right, man.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Easton, bro. Much obliged. Appreciate you. And make
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: sure to check out Net Positive with John Crist and
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Easton on there. And you guys be good to yourselves, okay?
