  SPEAKER_00: The what do you mean podcast?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now everyone gather around and listen to one of Hamilton's best podcasts.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: No research to back this up.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_00: Your host, Michael Gillespie.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_02: This year I've been doing really well, in my opinion, of keeping uh the show going, not having big hiatuses between episodes and stuff.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um and as I go, uh I've been on anchor for the first season of the WDYM.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: Editing wasn't my thing.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: I I didn't know how to edit, uh and editing just simply wasn't an option, wasn't even there.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_02: So if you want to hear me fumble around a whole season of episodes, you go straight to season one of the WDYM.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: You'll hear it right there.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_02: So but since I switched to Buzz Sprout, I've been doing editing for on audacity.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_02: I just want to say audacity.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: Audacity.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_02: And um the one reason why I keep the show clean and I don't try to curse is because I don't know how to put the boop, you know, the boop in there.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: So therefore, you know, I keep the content clean because I don't know how to put that stuff in there.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_02: Now I've learned how to put it in there, just thanks to thank you, YouTube, to doing that.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: And now I'm about to just lace a whole sentence of cussing right now just to see if I understand, if I understand why I'm doing it correctly.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: So if you happen to hear a curse word, I'm apologize ahead of time, but I'm doing this for practice and to see if I know how to do this thing right.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: So without further ado, hey mother.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: This is the WDYM.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm your host, Michael Mother Gillespie.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_02: Hope you enjoy this song.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: So I got editing to do.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_02: So I just want to make sure I do that right.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_02: Hope everybody's doing good.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_02: Hope everybody's doing well.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: Um, we're going to start off this episode with the idea of working out, right?
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's important, it's important as a human being to keep yourself in some sort of shape, right?
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: I always say be in shape so people are aware of you.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: Like, hey, I can't mess with that guy.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: He looks like he lifts weights.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: I can't mess with that guy, his legs are built, can't mess with that guy, his back is broad, can't mess with him, right?
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_02: I always say that.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_02: I always say, always be big enough so if the zombie apocalypse comes, you could you could trip somebody.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_02: They the zombies eat and you can keep running.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: That's always been my thing, right?
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, as someone who works out consistently and consistent, like I'll take a week off, do three weeks, stuff like that.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: The the hardest thing for me to do is leg day.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: And right, and if you work out, you know, you already know what I'm talking about.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: Leg day is the absolute worst day of working out.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: Because if you do anything else, your arms, chest, triceps, back, you know, you get a rest because you don't necessarily have to use those muscles to do your nine to five, do your day-to-day.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: But leg day, leg day, as soon as you do leg day, you are sore within the next four to five hours of leg day.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_02: Now, it's it's hard for me not to use weights on leg day.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'm always I'm accustomed to using weights for everything I do, especially leg day.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: But if I don't do weights on leg day, I can still feel it.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go even further and talk about the butt, the gluteest maximist.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know about you guys, but uh or girls, uh, like the idea of having a rump or a backside has always been an ultimate long run goal.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_02: Like, hey, I live, I want to develop my butt.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_02: Because when you look in the man, you'd be like, God, look at that.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_02: That booty's non-existent, man.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_02: And it frustrates me because it's it's it's muscle.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: It's all muscle, right?
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: So I decided, I decided, you know what?
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna get, I'm gonna do something about this.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: It got to it got to the lowest point.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_02: It was when my own mama said, Babe, she said, baby, where's your butt at?
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: I said, Mama, you can't say that because 50% of this DNA is from you.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_03: You don't have a butt, and you're gonna be coming at me talking about my non-existent butt.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: I've had enough of this.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna get me a booty ban.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna go find something to work this booty out.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: Now, when I started doing my research, of course, I went to Instagram.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: I went to Instagram because there's a whole there's a plethora of workouts, uh, people who work out, you know, booty discs, you know, there's a lot on Instagram to find exactly what you need.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_02: So I found somebody who had a a, you know, I'm not gonna lie, a nice booty.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, because you can't you can't trust nobody if they ain't got the nice booty, say you go and do this booty workout and they ain't got a nice booty.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: So I found somebody.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_02: Her name was Marie, Marie Fitness.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, okay, she has a nice bottom side.
• 5:24

  SPEAKER_02: Triceps are good, back is good.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: I just I just need this butt.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I need this butt.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: So I get with the wife and say, hey, wifey, uh, you're interested in getting a booty band.

  SPEAKER_02: It don't matter, I'm getting the results.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: No pain, no gain.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: So there's one thing, she's doing a workout, chilling by the beach or by the pool, and she has her dog come up, and she's a dog, she's obviously a dog lover, and I'm just watching, and the dog comes in and starts licking on her face.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, I'm like, ooh, shoot, that's disgusting.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_02: To me, that's disgusting.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: I can't, you can't know.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: So I comment, I comment, so ooh, that dog was licking your face, or something to that degree, something to that nature, where I say, ooh, you know, I commented the dog licking her face.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_03: A couple days later, doing a booty band, like, yo, got the booty band, hashtag Mariah Fitness, and I can't hashtag it.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, what the hell's going on?
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_03: Why can't I hashtag it?
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_02: She blocked me.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_02: She blocked me.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: She blocked me over the fact that the dog was licking her face, and I made a comment, like, ooh, that dog's looking.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_02: That's all I said.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't say nothing negative in my book.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't think I was negative.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: Now, again, I know humans have a certain relationship with their with their with their animals.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: And I didn't think that warranted a block.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: A whole block.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_03: I can't tag, I can't look up the page, and I'm a little bit I'm a little bit hurt by that.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_03: I'm a little bit hurt by the block.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: Because I didn't, I didn't look, man, I'm not that type of guy where I'm saying something negative like, hey, you know, blondes are stupid.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: I never never, never do that.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_02: I never do that.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_02: So to be blocked by the dog lick in her face, it kind of hurt me.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I was like, whatever.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm like, man, that's bull crap.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: She done block me.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: I said, I was like, I was like, did she block my wife too?
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: So I asked my wife, like, hey, you know, are you this did uh something happen to Marie Fitness Pay?
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: She said, Nope.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: So, oh, that's interesting.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_02: She said, Why?
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: I said, because she blocked me.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_02: She said, Well, you shouldn't talk about people and their dogs.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: I said, You're supposed to be on my team.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_02: This is Team Gillespie.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: What's wrong with you?
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: You know, you you should you should unsubscribe to me.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: She said, Nope.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_02: I said, Oh, you traitor.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_02: So, so now I I stopped the booty band because I was a little bit hurt.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: But then I was like, look, I'm I'm you know, I'm lifting again.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: We've been doing since 2023 started.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: I've been doing good.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_02: Working out.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: Gotta get my diet right.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: My diet would never be right because it's hard to do that.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_02: But it's like, okay, I got to get this lifelong dream of getting the butt.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, I need to get the booty.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_02: So I picked up the picked up the booty strap again, the booty, the booty band.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_02: That's what it is, a booty band.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm gonna start working out.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: Get this booty, and I might take before and after pictures, but they probably ain't they ain't nothing before.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully something after.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, I got banned for it, and I'm just kind of salty about it.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_02: It is what it is.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, you know, all and done.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_02: If you ever want to get a booty ban, she gets a free advertisement here on the WDYM.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: Go to Marie Fitness on Instagram, get you a booty ban, and tell her that the man you banned or blocked sent you.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_02: So uh with that, with that being said, that's the first part of today's podcast.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: The second part, uh the second part uh is a little story that I have recently that is is basically a how can I say this, a show of age, so to speak.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: Uh uh previously I talked about my friend Cammy, my best friend who happens to be a female.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_02: The thing is that we are best friends.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_02: This that's what we say.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: We say, you know, you're my best friend, I'm your best friend, she's my best friend, we are best friends.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: We you we follow the same code as Kevin Hart said.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: He says, If you're my best friend, I shouldn't have to ask you to laugh me.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: I shouldn't have to ask your permission for me to put you in my lock.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: You know why?
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: Because you're my best friend.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's your job.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: The day that we sign up and say that we best friends, that means that my b shit is your bull.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: And your bull is my bullshit.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: If you're my real best friend, you shouldn't I need you to laugh me by the look on my face.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: If I'm looking at you and I'm not blinking, if I'm like this.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's a sign.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_02: So that's that's the code that I that I live by when I say, you're my best friend.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_02: Like that's the way it is.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_02: And the thing with Kami is that when we when I when I again rewind a little bit, when I first came back to town for my military duty, I used to call her, say, hey, you know, text, hey, good morning, how you doing?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: Stayed in contact.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_02: Now, over the course of time, the relationship has had its ups and downs, and rightfully so.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_02: Again, best friend.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: Best friends, we're gonna be best friends through this whole thing.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_02: Or so I thought.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: So eventually she would meet new boyfriends and all that stuff, and communication would cease.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_02: Again, I'm not tripping over that.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_02: Best friends, you know, we we if we understand that, you know, having a male best friend might be difficult, and likewise, right?
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: Relationships might be strained because and I respect that.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: All right, I don't resp I respect that.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_02: So the decline has been at an all-time low, like really to a point where it feels like, you know, it's like out of my system.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's like we're not BFFs like we thought we were.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_02: Again, she's getting married, and she texts, hey, you know, what's up?
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_02: I said, you know, oh, who's this?
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: New phone, who's this?
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_02: I love that.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_02: I love that chime.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: When someone texts me out the blue that should be texting me regularly, new phone, who this?
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_02: Right?
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_02: So she hits me up and says, Hey, we're having a party.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_02: I want you to be there.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_02: I said, Okay, what are you doing?
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_02: I said, Oh, it's my bridal shower.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, uh, I'm sorry?
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_02: She says, Yeah, it's it's a bridal shower.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_02: Now, last time I checked, okay, I'm still a dude, right?
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: So uh I should not be invited to a bridal shower.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: But then she throws it on me.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: But you're my best friend, and I want you to be there.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, okay, I get what you're saying, but this is a this is a dominant female thing.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm already made in my mind that once you've once you've labeled this a bridal shower, you have lost.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not coming.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: Okay?
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's tip look up the definition.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_02: Google bridal shower.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_02: It will say it will tell you this is a predominantly female thing.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_02: Not at all.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_02: Let me look up the actual definition.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_02: Bridal shower.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: A party held for a woman who's about to get married, at which friends and relatives, typically female, present her with gifts.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not coming.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: And then I'm trying to, like, hey, let's is there gonna be another dude?
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: Is there gonna be dudes there?
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: She says, Yeah, this one guy might be there.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_02: So, okay, so to recap, you want me to show up to this party, this bridal shower, and be the only dude there.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: That is super sus in my book.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: So she's telling me this like two months out of before she gets married in July, and this is in May.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_02: Typically, I would I would go.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: I would go, but I can't.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going because she labeled it.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: And and this may be petty on me, but she labeled it a bridal shower.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: Now, I I try to I try to conform or try I try to like it's not my cup of tea, right?
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_02: I want to support my best friend, and you know, she's getting married, but it's like something's not right, something's not sitting well with me.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_02: One, like late notice type stuff.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_02: Again, I'm I'm using that BFF moniker, that label that I I supposed to have, and maybe I'm wrong in the way I'm thinking, is that if I'm the best friend, if I'm the BFF, why would you want me at a bridal shower?
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: And that to me, I can't.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: I literally can't.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: Like if someone said, hey, we're going to a drag show, Michael, do you want to go to a drag show?
• 15:45

  SPEAKER_02: It's too late.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: You've already labeled it bridal shower.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_02: So in my brain, even if I went, it's a bridal shower.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_02: I cannot go.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: Even though it's at a winery and I love going to the winery.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_02: I I let me say that again.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: I love going to the winery.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_02: Some of the best wine I've ever had is at a winery locally here in Hamilton.
• 16:25

• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: But I can't.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: I can't go to a bridal shower.
• 16:29

• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's just not my cup of tea.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_02: And you set me up for failure.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: I was never gonna go.

  SPEAKER_02: Never, ever, ever.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_02: And again, as a guy, what do I bring?
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_02: So it's like, I'm looking at online, they have I do slippers.

• 16:59
  SPEAKER_02: No, that's not a gift you'll get from a guy at a bridal shower.

• 17:26
  SPEAKER_02: All this stuff is not aimed for me to give to her.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: So now that I didn't show up, like I think our friendship has been cracked.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's been cracked.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: And I can't say that it's been it's been good.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_02: It's like once you once you hit that BFF mark, you would think that we will always be in contact with each other, you know, just to be check on each other.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_02: Because she's gone through some ups and downs, I've gone through some ups and downs, and we've always talked to each other through the whole process.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_02: Now it just feels like it's not even that.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's not even that.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: Like, let me ask you this.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: If you're getting married and your best friend is available to attend the wedding, wouldn't you let them know?
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't even know the date of her getting married till I asked her three days ago.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_02: No invite.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: I don't have an invite.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_02: So it's like it question I question myself because through this whole time, since way back in junior high, high school, adult life, and now this part of life, was I ever, was I ever the best friend?
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: And it just seems like maybe I wasn't.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe I put I put this relationship that we had on a shelf that I could see, admire, but never touch.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_02: Like, and that's where I'm at at this because clearly it's not what I thought it was, and it's clearly it's not a it's not what she thinks it is.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_02: And we haven't talked we haven't talked, well one, we haven't talked a lot at all.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: And now we you know, there's been no communication since then, and I'm perfectly fine with that.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_02: At this certain point of my age of my life, it's like, are you down for me?
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_02: Are you with me?
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I'm at that point where I can just cut people out if you're not you're not the core the nucleus of my friends and family, you know?
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: And that's the thing that I wish I would have known years ago.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what I'm advising you guys with this episode.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: Like, what do you mean?
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like, W D Y M, what do you mean you need to start cutting people out of your life?
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_02: Because some people are there to drain you.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: Like, I I I don't realize that until this point now, like I care a lot for my best friend.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_02: No question about that.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: But it what it what purpose does it serve me?
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I felt like I felt like our relationship as friends would could have been better.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_02: But again, it's treated differently with each other and all that stuff.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_02: And again, like I was saying, like I've cut and I've cut, I'm gonna cut this part of my life out and you know, reflect on like, hey, you know, I did have this and I did have that, and it could come back again, but you know, you keep things at a distance now.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: Like again, I'm at a point of life where I just need the core people in my life, and then I'm fine with that because people like I said, people drain you.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_02: Either they give you the positive energy you need or they give you the negative energy that you don't want.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: And at certain points of life, you just gotta be like, yo, I don't need you, I don't need that energy.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_02: So it's like if you get anything from this one, it's just more like, hey, sometimes you just gotta push people back, like nah, bruh, it ain't gonna happen, or nah, I just don't have the energy for you.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_02: I keep my I keep my circle real close, and as I get older in life, you might have to keep it even closer.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_02: So those things happen, and uh that's it, man.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_02: That is the episode.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_02: If anything you get from this, just remember to keep your circle tight.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_02: Because you only there's only a few people in life that have your back no matter what.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_02: BFF or not.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_02: With that being said, kind of a weird episode, but I wanted to get this out.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_02: Cause there's it just bothers me, and I think that's a lesson that everybody should learn.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_02: Keep your circle tight, don't let everybody in.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody's not your friend.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_02: This is your host, Michael Gillespie at the WDYM.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_02: I will see you guys next week.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_02: That being said, I'm out, boy Scout, Girl Scout.
• 22:04
