  Speaker 1: a little canteen. I saw a vine stood somewhere for
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: 30 seconds. A vine grew up my leg. And it
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: had opened the top of my canteen. Yet now, everything's
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: thirsty as hell up there. It was super dry. It
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was dry. I just wasn't ready for it. I was
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: so dry. I don't know. I can't even explain it
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to you. I definitely did my best, but they gave

  Speaker 1: the country that people came out, thank you guys so much,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to all the places that we went, man. I got
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to go to La Crosse, Wisconsin. And it's one of
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the greatest little city town places I've been I didn't, man,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you always, I think of some people in your head,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you have ideas of a place that's kind of perfect,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you know? And they got, you know, somebody's walking their
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: kid home from school or whatever. And the kid's just
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: got a bunch of snot on his face or whatever.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But the parent leaves it. Just that, you know, because
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: there's something kind of beautiful about it. You know? Especially
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: when you were poor, dude. If your nose was running,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I'd let that bitch fly, cut. Because people are always
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: looking at you when you're poor. People always look at
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you like you ain't got nothing. And that's why when
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: my nose was running, I'd be like, oh yeah, I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: got this, bitch. I got this, snot. So there is
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: something very beautiful about that, um, But we were there
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in La Crosse. Or La Crosse. They say it. Or
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of gay dudes. They say it like. Hey

• 14:14
  Speaker 1: brisk out. What else has been going on? Oh, I'll
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: tell you. You know what was something that I thought
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: was really special that I got to be around or
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: be a part of or be around, really? So SNL
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live was going on, and Bill Burr was
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: going to be on it. And Bill Burr is there's
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: nobody like him. There's no, I mean, there's nobody like him.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: He is, he is himself and he is one of one.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: And I wanted to go see, I'd never been to SNL.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I'd never been over there and seen it, you know?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: And so myself, who came with me? Oh, my buddy
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Kevin and, um, and John Farley was there and that's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Chris Farley's brother. And, uh, And it was just like, man,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: to be at SNL, you know, where Chris Farley and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Spade and Nealon and Carvey and all of the like, uh, rock, um, Sam,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: just all these wizards of, uh, you know, um, possibility,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, Sherry, um, Oh, Terry, um, uh, who's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the lady that puts her, She's always taking her own
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: temperature or whatever and smelling it. Who's that lady? Her.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Just to be at SNL, Saturday Night Live, to be
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: on that stage, just to be there watching. And John
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Farley was there, Chris Farley's brother. And it was the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: first time he said that he'd been back there since
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: he'd been there with Chris. And that was just... I
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: don't know. It was just like, it just, it was
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: just kind of, it felt special, you know, cause I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: just can't imagine. I can't imagine having a brother that is,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: you know, so, well, first of all, it's your brother.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: So they're very important to you, but then also there's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: such a, uh, uh, entertainer. And then you go back
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to the place where they, one of the places that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: they're most known from, you know, and, um, Yeah, that
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: was just, it was magnificent, man, just to be able
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to be there with him. And he told so many stories.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And I was kind of bummed that they didn't bring
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: him out on the stage and let him tell a
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: story out there at SNL. The stories he was telling
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: backstage were better than half of the things that were
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: happening on the tube, I thought. I mean, but also that's,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I bet it was just crazy to hear
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: a guy talk about, you know, his brother, Chris Farley
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and all these little moments that they'd had backstage and
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: just these funny things. And here, I'll say this. When
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: it came down to listening to him or watching some
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: of the sketches, I couldn't help but listen to some
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: of the things that he was saying. Because it was, yeah,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it just was like walking through time and walking through life.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: time that really meant something, you know, time between brothers,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and so, yeah, that was pretty exceptional, but yeah, I
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: was like, SNL should have had him out there, like,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: bring this guy, it's the first time he's been back
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: since his brother, it's like the closest Chris Farley will
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: get to being there, and yeah, it was just, I
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: don't know, so, but that was, it was great, I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: not trying to tell, you know, I don't know, am
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: I talking too much or whatever, I don't know, but
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that was something neat to be a part of.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And what else? I went with my bud. My friend
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: has a son. And we took him to the swing set.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And then what else is going on? Oh, I watched
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the CMAs, Country Music Awards, the other night. Because I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: live in Nashville. And so you have to watch it
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: or people won't look you in the eyes for the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: next year. And so... you know, I was checking it
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: out and Caleb Presley was on there doing presentation. Laney
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Wilson was on there. So it's like, you know, I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: got to peep it. I wanted to see if Jesse
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Murph was going to be there. Jelly Roll was there.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: That whole gang, baby. Jelly Roll, Yellow Wolf. I think
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they had damn Jelly Wolf there. And it's just that
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that is just a St. Bernard with a couple of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: face tats on it. You know, but that whole like
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: musically recovering honky vibe, you know, that's really And Yellow Roll,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I saw damn Yellow Roll. And it was, Bobby Lee
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: was there. So it's just, you know, yeah, he's doing
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: music now. So it's just, you know, it's just, anyway,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: it was a very diverse group over there. And what
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: am I talking about, damn it? Oh, but I watched
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to see if Red Clay Strays were
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: going to win. They were up for vocal group. which,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: what does that even mean? Kind of, it's all music,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you know, but they didn't win. Old Dominion won it, right?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: And Dominion, no disrespect, right? I haven't heard a lot,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't think, first of all, if you
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: look at old Dominion, Dominion is a brother's name. And it's,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: you know, Show me 30 dominions and I'll show you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you know, how to get, how to get to Memphis.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, bro? It's like, let's be realistic, baby.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: That's Elvis's neighbors, homie. Okay. So, and so that was
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the way I'm like, damn, they don't even, somebody's hiding.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: They're hiding. They're hiding a brother amongst the four or
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: five of the guys that they have in the group
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But, yeah, I just wanted to see Ray
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Clay Strays win. And I thought it was just a
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: chance for, you know, CMAs. Like, here you have a vibe,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you know, and no disrespect to OD, baby, but you
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: have a vibe. Ray Clay Strays, they sing prayers, man.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: They sing things that I can't. They sing prayers that
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I can't even make, that I can't even make the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: words to. They sing those. And I just feel like
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that's part of such a movement. And so, yeah, I
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: think I really wanted them to win that award. But
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: also then, Red Clay Strays, are they a country group?
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And you could argue that. It's all of it. Are
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they gospel? Gospel. I mean, they're music, and it doesn't
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: need a space to fit in. You don't need to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: put every foot in a shoe, but it's like, well, yeah,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: what are they? But it's a lot of vibrant prayer,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like, coming out of those boys. And I'm
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: partisan as well, or partisan or whatever. Anyway, that's some
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: of the stuff that's been going on recently. And a
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: lot more. Some of it I can't remember. But yeah,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: just CMAs, I felt like they had a chance to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: pull some new blood in there. And I just didn't
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: see that, you know. But what do I know? I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: don't know shit. You know, I'm just a loud honky
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: over here. That's all I am. What else? Grand Rapids,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: beautiful place. Beautiful place, man. Just... Yeah, just to see
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of places where people are just thriving and
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: people are saying, hey, this is our community and we're
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: going to keep it like it is, man. That's something
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: that really felt great to witness. Well, now it's that
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: holiday season. It's time for family and food. And let's
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: be honest, a little bit of chaos. But hopefully the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: most chaotic thing that happens this year is you slurping
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: down a little bit of oyster dressing. However, if things
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: don't go as planned, like a holiday mishap that leaves

  Speaker 1: you have to have some gratitude here you know and
• 24:33

  Speaker 1: things that have happened to you you know find things
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: to have gratitude for um And see, I want to
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: think about those today and just things that I'm thankful for. Um,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I'm thankful. Um, yeah, being able to whisper. That's a
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: big one. I'm so thankful for that because otherwise everybody
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: in your family would just wouldn't know how you felt
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: about them. So I'm just so thankful that, that God
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: lets us whisper, you know, um, I'm thankful for my family,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: you know. I'm thankful that my sister makes me laugh
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a lot and that she likes to laugh. I like
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: listening to her laugh sometimes. She's ridiculous and that makes
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: me laugh. I'm thankful my nephew talks to me. You know,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I wish he kind of hit my line more, but
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: I guess he's busy or whatever. Sure, whatever, dude. But
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: he's a child, you know, and it's like I just
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: got to be an adult and just take care of myself. But, oh,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I'm thankful that urine isn't hotter than it is when
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: it comes out of your body. That would be crazy, bro,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: if urine just came out like even 10 degrees hotter, bro.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Because you'd go in the bathroom and they'd have one
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: dude in there about to urinate and everybody else would
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: be supporting him. And like, come on, Richard. Come on, Richard.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Blast that shit, homie. And he's like, it's kind of hurt.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up, Richard. Piss, bitch. And people are like, whoa,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: chill out, dude. He's fucking, it's hot, you know? And people,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and there'd be a gay dude just kind of holding
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: his back for no reason, just, or even pushing on
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: his butt. That's the weird thing, dude. If you're doing
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: a group piss, right, and everybody's supporting one guy who
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: has to piss, And the dude that's pushing up on
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: the guy's butt, that guy is not just trying to
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: be helpful. I know that, boy. So, yeah, I'm grateful
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: that pee pee or urine or whatever they want to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: call it is at a manageable temperature. That's a big one.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful that God lets me try. You know, I'm
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: grateful that God lets me try. You know, that every
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: single thing isn't final. Yeah, I'm grateful for that. I'm
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: grateful that my arms are, you know, they're not the best.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: I think they're not the best length. I got medium
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: length arms, but I know that they're good enough to hug,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: good enough. I wouldn't win a hug title or whatever.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there is a title. Yeah, what else?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I'll think about some things throughout the show, throughout the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: episode today. things that I'm thankful for, man. I'm thankful
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that I have some shoes on right now. Yeah, I'll
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: keep thinking about it. But let's get into some calls, man.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: You guys have been hitting the hotline, and I haven't
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: been there. But I just want to thank you for
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: hitting it. And as always, the hotline is 985-664-9503. And
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: let's get to a call right here. Here we go.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Theo, I just want to get your thoughts. I'm 28.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: I just got out of the Navy. I live in
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Orange County, California.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your service, brother. We appreciate you.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Onward.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: It's tough making friends as an adult.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: My whole life, I've always ended up with black friends.
• 28:45
  Speaker 9: I play basketball and Navy.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Out of 200 white guys, five black guys, I ended
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: up being friends with a black guy. But, uh, I
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: want some white friends or like Asian friends. So I
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: just wanted your advice.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Like, how does that happen?
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Or do I just stick with this? Hey, that's, this
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: is how it is.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Like black friends are my thing.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: No brother. I don't think that, you know, I don't think,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I think you're good. You can get all types of friends.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: That is for sure, man. You know, um, I think,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: you know, basketball is a gateway drug to just a
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: brotherific type shit. Go out into your neighborhood right now,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: dribble a basketball in the street, see if a couple
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: brothers don't show up. You know, that's that. You hear
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: a basketball banging on that street, that's the Michael Jordan
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: mating call, cut. You know, that's how it is, man.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: You put a rim up anywhere and you're going to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: get some black friends, man. That's not a racial thing.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: That's just facts. You put a basketball rim up anywhere,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: and you're going to have some brothers show up. You
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: put that bitch up in the ocean, you'll have a
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: couple wet brothers out there just double drowning out there.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: So you have to think, if you want to get
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: different types of folks, you have to put out different
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: types of activities. So if you want to get more
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Asian friends, you might want to do an Asian people
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: like hide-and-go-seek. That's easy, man. You know? And that's wild, bro.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You know, look at an Asian. Look at any resting
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: or sitting Asian, resting Asian, or AARs or whatever, Asians
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: at rest. Look at one. Bring up a couple, right?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Go to any of these folks and say, you keep counting,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I'll go hide. Because Asians got that clock in them, dog.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: So that's something you could do to meet some Asians
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: right there, man. And also, it's okay to be a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: white guy that has black friends. And I know you're
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: not saying there's anything wrong with it, but when I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: was getting into life or whatever, they had a lot
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: of wiggas out there. And no cap, bro. Wiggas used
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to be the thing, bro. Thomas Jefferson was a wigga, bro.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Real talk. And people don't want to say that shit,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: but he was, man. But now they got Blonkies even.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: They got Blonkies out there. You got a lot of
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: black dudes that want to be whiter or having more
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: white stuff go on in them. I mean, I saw
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: a brother crying in his car the other day outside
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: of a Jimmy John's. That's the whitest shit you could do.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: That's our shit. So it's all good. What I'm saying
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: is the portal is always open, guys. There's no NIL money.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: to have a new friendship and another ethnicity, man. That is, we,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you know, we're all bound to be beige in a
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: couple of generations anyway. So right now, if you want
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to meet someone of a color or of a ethnicity,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: then now is the time, baby bear. Cause in two,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: three generations, everybody going to be beige, mauve, off mauve,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you know, cookies and crumb. People are going to be
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: all batched out and, uh, Jeanette modified or whatever. You
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: will have a Monsanto, uh, uh, taupe friend. You will
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: have an off Brown, uh, white bottom, um, speckled trout, uh,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Korean Mexican black lady. You're going to have it all, man.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So if you want to enjoy specific ethnicities now, now
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: is the time to do it because genetically we're all
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: heading to one color. We're going to be just one
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: little off-brown, semi-white, matte finish, gray baby bear of Christ, brother.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Praise God, man. What else do we have? Let's take
• 33:20

• 37:48
  Speaker 8: ham's a Christmas thing.
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: And I love honey ham.
• 37:52
  Speaker 8: And all they had was turkey.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: Turkey's dry and.
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: Bland as shit. No honey.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: So I didn't fuck with it. So I just wanted
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: your opinion.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, brother. I see you there. I see you having
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of feelings about it. Yeah, turkey or ham. Well, ham, ham.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Ham is ham. You know, ham, it just, it gets
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: home and it's like, where's your mother? You know, that's ham.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: But turkey, turkey, turkey, turkey's a little more risky, I think.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a little, it's a little more perverted,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I think. Low key, bro. Turkey, you know, it's like,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: what you want to do to me? Want to put
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: me in a sandwich? Want to, Put me in the fridge.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: You want me now? You want me left over? What
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: do you want? So turkey kind of looking at you
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: like that. I feel like. Ham looks like it's been
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: smoking or whatever. Like, all right. You know, it'll party,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: but it's, you know. You know, it's going to. It
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: won't be able to drive itself home. Ham, you know.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Because it drinks ham drinks. Ham drinks. But turkey is like,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: it could be anywhere. It could be turkey. Turkey, you'll
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: see turkey in a high heel. You'll see turkey in
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: a high heel. a high heel. That bit, you know.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: So that's how I feel, I guess, about that. What else?
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Got a couple more calls that came in here. Oh,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: here's a news story right here. Police find two-kilogram garden
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: gnome made entirely of MDMA. Wow. Yeah, that's it, man.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: That's how it is now, baby, baby. They got aliens
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: in the ocean. They got MDMA in the garden gnomes. Okay?
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Tape your eyelids to your ass cheeks, homie. And stay alert.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Because they ripping everybody out here. Praise God, baby. What
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: else do we have? We got another call that came
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: in right here.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Let's see. Home for Christmas.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: Yo, Theo.
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: This is Harley from Portland, Oregon, man.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: What's up, Harley? And I had a great time up there.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: We did a show out there in Portland, which is
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: a great city. Let me say that. People are always like,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: there's antifas up there, you know. you know, LARPing in
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: the park. It's just a bunch of leftover Antifa and
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: BLM activists and people, you know, adults wearing baby diapers
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: up there, LARPing in the park and sword fighting and
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: doing makeshift Renaissance fairs up there and shit. And damn
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: George Foreman grilling every meal and shit. But I thought
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: it was an amazing city. I'd never, I just hadn't,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: it was just, it really shocked me how special it was. Yeah,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: there's a naked guy pushing himself in a, you know,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, has a boat oar and
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: he's going down the street in a adult baby carriage
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: or whatever. But it's awesome. I thought it was really,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: really groovy. I really like Portland, Oregon. What did you
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: have to say, brother? Sorry I interrupted you there. Let's
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: hear more.
• 41:48
  Speaker 9: I really appreciate the way that you peddle your tickets,
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: the way that you encourage people to not use secondhand
• 41:56
  Speaker 9: sites because you don't want people paying more than they
• 42:00
  Speaker 9: should to come see you. I understand that and I
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: really respect that.
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, totally.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of times what happens is people will
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: look up a ticket, right? Want to go to the show,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: this city, this date or whatever. And then other secondary
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: sites that are reselling tickets will put them will pay
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: more to get their searching higher on Google and stuff
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: like that. And so then you click there and you're
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: not really paying an original, you don't even have an
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: option at a regular price ticket if there's still any available.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Onward.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: But then I go.
• 42:31
  Speaker 9: To your website, man, and I see that theovon.com slash
• 42:36
  Speaker 9: tour is redirected to Ticketmaster. And I'm just curious, man,
• 42:42
  Speaker 9: you know, the people absolutely hate Ticketmaster.
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: And I'm one of the people, brother. I hate them.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I hate them. They've been running this scam forever. So
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know how we get a politician that is
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: going to break up the monopoly that's very obvious. I
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: don't know how you get that done. You know, I
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: would love to have a ticket broker on this year.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe we can start delving into the dark depths of
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: all that. Because yes, it's a monopoly. It's sick. It's
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: sick that you could take three of your friends to
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: a show, but now you can only take one Because
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: the fees are astronomical. We don't see any money from
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the fees. Artists don't. You know. It's just the same people.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: It's these big companies. Who owns Ticketmaster? You look that
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: up for me. Live Nation Entertainment. So there you go.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Ticketmaster is a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Nation Entertainment.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: which is headquartered in Beverly Hills. Yeah, well, I think
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: one of the issues, who's the owner of Live Nation,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I wonder? Vanguard. Well, here's, this is fucking hilarious. Zoom
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: in on this a little bit. Liberty Media Corporation is
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: the largest shareholder of Live Nation Entertainment, owning 30% of
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: the company. Other major shareholders include Vanguard owns 8.3%. BlackRock
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Advisors owns 5.5%. So there you go. It's the same
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: people that own everything. So that's why you're getting fucked
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: because they own everything. They own the building that the
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: show is in sometimes and then they own the website
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: and they don't care. They don't care. That's the bottom line.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: They don't care They don't care that it takes more
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: money out of your pocket. And mine. If I buy
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: tickets somewhere, they don't care. They want money. That's all
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: they want. So, yeah, that shit hurts my heart, man.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: Nothing I can do about it, man. And maybe one
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: day there will be a better way to do it.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I know Zach Bryan tried a unique method through AXS,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: I think, ticketing. but it hasn't shown up yet or
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: a way that's definitely definitively saves people that money. But yeah,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: those people are robbing people and that's what it is.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: But we have a government that continues to allow that
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: sort of business behavior, especially when they have a monopoly
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: on the market. Yeah, that's just, those are my feelings.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: To me, it feels like it's bullshit. To you calling,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sure to everybody listening, I'd love to have an
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: extra $ 40 from people Ticking in fees to go get
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: me a soda or something. Get me a little Butterfinger
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: or something. Get mom the payday or whatever she likes eating.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: She can't even hear the fucking show. She's over here.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Cheaper to get her a ticket than put her in
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: dang hospice or whatever. You know, she's over here, you know,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: listening to whatever we're watching. You know, Metallica on ice
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: or whatever over here. You know, or Ice Spice on
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: ice or whatever. Who knows what the hell they're doing now.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: You know, now they have a new Anxiety on Ice
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: as a new performance for kids. Like, what are we
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: even fucking taking our kids to? It's Big Pharma Anxiety
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: on Ice brought to you by Live Nation and Pfizer, dude.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: That's what we're fucking doing. I mean, yeah. People at
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: least aren't blind to it. Praise God, brother. Thank you
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: for the call. And yeah, I'm sorry about it too, man.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Let me hear the end. Let me hear what you
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: have to say. I'm sorry.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: And.
• 46:35
  Speaker 9: I personally would not go see a show just because
• 46:38
  Speaker 9: it's being sold strictly to ticket matters. So I was
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: curious if there was some kind of way that we
• 46:43
  Speaker 9: could get away from these big corporations and hopefully by
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: getting away from them, you know, you could get more
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: of a percentage of ticket sales.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I mean, those venues, they could give away
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: to something. They could do something. You know, they also, yeah,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: they charge people for parking a lot of times or
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: it's just But some of it is business, but that
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: part I believe is egregious. That's how I feel. But no,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: as of right now, I don't know another way. You know,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I could look into it though. Maybe one day I'll have,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I could own venues with other people and
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: we could just do the shows there at our own
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: venues and we wouldn't sell tickets and we wouldn't gouge
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: people on those prices. Or maybe you'd find one politician
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: that would just run simply on the fact that they're
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: going to say, hey, fuck those guys. We're not going
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: to let them do it. We're going to figure out
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: a way. So it's just those greedy companies and dirty lawyers,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I believe. But also there may be stuff I don't
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: know about it. They may need an extra $ 42 a
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: ticket to send you that email. So I might be off.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: What else? Sorry, am I getting negative there? Let me
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: think about what else I'm thankful for, man. I'm thankful
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: that I have buddies that check in on me. I
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: need to do a better job of that or I
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: would like to do a better job of that in
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the coming year of checking in on people and checking
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: in on myself. You know, I want to make sure
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I do a better job of that. What else am
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I thankful for? Oh, I'm thankful my buddy Jeremy just
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: had a new baby, his third son. him and his wife,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Natalie just had a child and they just have a blessed,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: just man, him and my buddy Curtis, they, they run
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: a speed and strength training, a training group over here
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: in Nashville. And it just, those guys are like, they're
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: like the best part of my week when I get
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: to be over there and just laugh with everybody. And
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: we have so much fun and they really uplift a
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: lot of, a lot of the community here. And so, yeah,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: That's something I'm thankful for, that he had a healthy son.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: What else am I thankful for? I'm thankful I got
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: to go to my buddy Scott's wedding this year. I'm
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: thankful I got to see my friend the other night.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I'm thankful that God lets me think about other people
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: and that I can try, that I can, you know,
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: that if there's patches where I go through where I
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: get stuck in myself that I can come out of those.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we're not so, every thought doesn't have to
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: be a sentence, like a life sentence, you know, or
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: that every feeling isn't like a life sentence. Even though
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: there are moments sometimes where it feels like they might be.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: They're not. Thankfully, you can see somebody that will change
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: your vibe. You can hear a song that will change
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: your energy. And you can choose to hear those things too.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: What else? I'm thankful that some of the mistakes I've
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: made haven't put me in places that.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Make.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: things very tough on me from day to day. You know,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: that's been a lot of grace from God in those spaces.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: What else? What do you think about, Trevin? Anything else?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Any other gratitudes coming into your head? Thankful for friends.
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: Like you said, being able to think about, you know,
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: being grateful in itself.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: Being able to take the time to.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thankful God lets me see different things or whatever.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: See animals, bro. I would hate that shit if you
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: were at the zoo and people were just telling you
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: what the animals look like or whatever. And then the
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: guy starts touching you on the back or whatever. You're like,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: this guy's a pedophile or whatever. You know, who am
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: I even with, dude? That's the kind of scary shit
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: that's out there. What else do we got?
• 51:00
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, here we go, right here, gang shit. Let's hear
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: this one. They stay home for.
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: Hey, Theo, this is Big Red here, and.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Big Ridge, baby. Let's hear more, daddy.
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: I mean, I just want to preface by saying I'm
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: not racist, but.
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: All right. Onward?
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: Lately, I've been hanging out with some brothers, and I've
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: sneezed a couple times.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: You sneezed, okay? You've been sneezing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: I've noticed that I've been sneezing around outside, and they
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: don't say bless you. I don't know if it's like
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: a me thing. I don't know if it's like... I
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: don't know if it's, like, hard to look tough, like,
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: saying bless you. Like, I don't know. I've been trying
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: to say bless you in the mirror in a tough way,
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: and I got to admit, it's a really hard task
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: to do, like.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think I see what you're saying. You're saying
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of brothers, they don't say bless you when
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: you sneeze. Well, I mean, I think that's just life, bro.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, brother's been through a lot of shit historically, man.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Brothers and female brothers too. The sisters. They've been through
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: some shit, man. Get a history book, dog. So they
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: ain't worried if somebody can't handle a little pollen or something.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Somebody sneezed. That ain't. They're worried somebody goes into prison.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: You know, that's when they drop some bless you's on them.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: They worried they can't get the pain out of the culture.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: That's when they'll yell a bless you. They save some
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: of their bless you's for Sunday as well. But it's
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: white folk. You know, we somebody sneeze. Bless you, Ernie.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Bless you. Bless you, Nathan. That's good. You know, black folk,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: just because somebody can't handle sitting near a tulip or
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: something or somebody get a little activated, their lungs flare
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: up around a fern, that ain't. That's a little bit
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: more white trauma than it is a black trauma, I think,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: you know? Some white dudes like, oh, them azaleas, I
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: can't breathe. Like you the floral George Floyd or something, man.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Get your shit together, man. Get your, and don't bother
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: a brother to say bless you because your white ass
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: having trouble with some dandelion dander. Okay, get it together.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Your soft ass can't breathe for half a second. You
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: want God to help you. God, come on, man. Come on, man.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: So I think that's just look, man, that's a cultural thing.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: And I think you got to let that lie where
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: it lies, baby. That's what I believe. Praise God, man.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, though. Thank you for letting
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: me think out loud with you. Is pornography causing a
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: problem in your life? Do you find yourself watching porno
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: for longer periods of time and having trouble stopping? Is
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: porn affecting your relationship or dating life? Well, you're certainly
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: not alone. Watching pornography has become so commonplace today, and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: oftentimes men use porn to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: and depression. Shame and stigma prevent men from talking about
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: these issues and getting help for them. I want to
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: introduce you to my friend, Steve. Steve is the founder
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: of Valor Recovery, a program to help men overcome porn
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: abuse and sexual compulsivity. Steve is a long-term sexual recovery
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: member and has personally overcame the emotional and spiritual despair
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: of abusing pornography and has dedicated his life to empowering
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: men to do the same. Steve is an amazing person
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: and he is a close friend of mine. I mean that.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Valor Recovery helps men to develop the tools necessary to
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: have a healthier sex life. Their coaches are in long-term

• 55:56
  Speaker 1: of year where we can try to do more for others.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: That's one of my things I was thinking about yesterday.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, how can I make next year? Uh,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: how can I do more? You know, and we all
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: want to, right. We all want time. I hear that
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: so many times from people like, Hey, how can I
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: be a part of this? How can I do, you know?
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to, um, I want to figure that out,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: you know, Just ways to, we all want to find
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: ways to give back, to help our neighbor, you know.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: And this is the time of year for that to
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: be on our hearts, I think. Or I don't know,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to preach at you. This is the
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: time of year where that's on my heart. You know,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: how can I, yeah, how can I think about somebody else?
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Because what a relief it is when you're trapped in
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: yourself to have a moment where you're thinking about somebody else.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, thank you, God. Letting me think about somebody.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: Else, man.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: What else? Let's take a couple more calls here on
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: the way out. Let me take this one right here.
• 57:03
  Speaker 7: Hey, Theo.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: I love the show. I'm calling with an issue. I'm
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: 20 years old. I've been drinking every single day since
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: I've been 17.
• 57:14
  Speaker 8: There's been times where I stopped drinking for a week.
• 57:20
  Speaker 9: I always fall back into the same thing.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: And I hate myself for it. Everything pulls me down.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just wondering if you have any advice for me.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I noticed myself, man. Thanks for calling, bro. I
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: noticed myself when I'm doing something I don't want to
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: be doing. When I'm doing something I don't want to
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: be doing. And then I've said to myself, hey, I
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: don't want to do this anymore. And then I keep
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: doing it. I can't help but do it.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: That's addiction. You can't help it. You're doing it. Um,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: which isn't you, that's not you making that choice all
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: the time. It is, it's addiction. It's a disease, right?
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: So just same as if somebody had cancer, you wouldn't
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: say to them every day, Oh damn, you have cancer again.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: You keep choosing to have cancer. No, they have cancer.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: It's the same with addiction. You are, you don't want
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: to do this. You are doing it right. You can't
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: stop that cycle. Um, And then, this is what I've
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: noticed for myself, then shame starts building up because now
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: not only am I addicted, now I am ashamed because
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: I keep breaking my own promise to myself. Right? Now
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: I'm losing my integrity. So now not only am I
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: dealing with addiction, but I'm also dealing with shame. And man,
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: when those two dogs get together... Good luck getting a
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Frisbee through the yard, brother. Them some growlers, daddy. People
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: ask me a lot about addiction stuff. The only answer
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: I ever know that has helped me has been going
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: to recovery, going to Alcoholics Anonymous, starting there, going to
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: a meeting. Because the first thing they ask you in
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: there is that, my life, is your life unmanageable? That's
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: the question. Is your life unmanageable? Nothing has to be
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: about alcohol or anything. Is your life unmanageable? Because that's
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: a way where you get to choose for yourself. Nobody's
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: making a diagnosis of you being an alcoholic. You decide.
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: But it's like, is life unmanageable? And that's a very
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: fair question to anybody. And if the answer is yes,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: then you take it from there and there. But I
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: would recommend go to 3AA meetings, some different ones. Listen
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: for the similarities and don't listen for the differences. because
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: it's easy to be like, ah, this shit, nah, nah.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: You hear one thing like, that ain't for me, you know? So, yeah, man,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you're dealing with that. But that's really
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: the only, I don't have a magic button or a
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: magic solution, you know? And then once you're in there,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: you can maybe get some sponsorship or something. They can
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: help you decide if you should get treatment or that
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: sort of thing. Now, if you're drinking every day for
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: that long, you may need treatment to detoxify yourself. But,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Thinking of you, brother. And thank you for calling, man.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. What else? Here we go. Let's hear it.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: What up, Theo?
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: Hey, I got a question for you. My name is
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: Jocelyn and I have a son here. He's 10 years
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: old with Down syndrome. Just any advice that you would
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: give to him personally would be much appreciated. And we
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: think you're great.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Keep doing what you're doing, bro.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you, Jocelyn. That was very sweet of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: you to call. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to your
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: child right there. And I'd say to your child, I'd
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: say hang in there, young king. Okay? You little freckled
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: sparrow of the heavens, hang in there. Hold the line,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: baby boy. Because young DS lords like yourself are heroes
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: and you are beloved. You are God's thank you card.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: There's not any of us in existence that doesn't see
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: somebody with Don Senra and feel something, you know. You
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: make a candle just light up inside of everybody. Y'all
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: are the ones, y'all are the ones braving the genetic
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: nether realm to see what's on the other side. Y'all
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: are the Lewis and Clarks of DNA, okay? The Harriet
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Tubman of afflictions. That's y'all, young king. And every year
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: we're getting closer to winning this war. I'll say that
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: out loud. We will battle with Down syndrome until it's
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: all the way down. We will not relent. So keep
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: hugging your mom and keep being a bumblebee of hope
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: for all of us. And keep smiling because when you smile,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: when people with dance syndrome smile, we all smile somehow.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Because we all have that, just a, not a DS,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: but a D-O-S-E. Of it inside of us. And I
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: believe that. You know. And that's why we can relate.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: And I love you. And I love your mom. And
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I wish y'all a happy Thanksgiving. And keep teaching the
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: rest of us how to love better. You know. Because
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: I was right there in it. I was right there
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: in it. Just in the grips. And I was able
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: to just break my foot free as a child. And
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: I love you guys man baby. Praise God man.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 10: Um.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: What else? Any other call that came in? Here's a
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: young lady that called. And here we go. One more call. Hey.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: I'm struggling. It's just hard going back and forth trying
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: to find a job with an addiction.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: It's really hard.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: I can't seem to put the alcohol down and it's
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: funny that I listen to your podcast because of how
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: you talk about coke and I've been struggling with putting
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: it down and I just get to the point where
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: I just I get so deep you can't get out
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: of it and I know that you know what I mean.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Man, it just shit breaks my heart kind of, you know?
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just, I don't know what it makes me feel.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just, I guess, yeah. I mean, it just, yeah.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it makes me sad. Yeah, I guess
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: it makes me like, what does it make you feel like?
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 6: Well, I think it's, I think it's powerful that they
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 6: feel like they could reach out to you to talk
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 6: about it with someone who can relate. You know what
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 6: I'm saying?
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think there's a part of it's like
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: you want to, you can just tell when somebody's hurting,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: you know? They better call her. Is that crazy you think, Trevin?
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: Do it.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: I think it would make her day.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Let's just call her. Let's see. We can even ask
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: her if we, I don't care if we put this
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: on or not. We can just, let me see.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up?
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: Who is this?
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: It's Theo.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: What's Theo?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: Hello?
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Theo Vaughn, I got you. Did you call... I don't
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: know if this is the right person. Did you call our...
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I just... I have like a voicemail thing. I just
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: didn't know if you called it the other day.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 7: Is this really Theo Vaughn?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. Who's this?
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: Holy shit. You actually listen to it?
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it takes me a while, dude. It freaking
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: takes me a while, but we just happened to... start
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: lists just like, uh, we're, we, we've been listening for
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks to try and do like a, um,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: an episode to come out next week. And so, yeah,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: today I was listening to him and I just heard
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: your message and it just like, uh, yeah, you know,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: I'll struggle with shit. So I just thought I would
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: just say what's up or, you know, I just had.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 7: A wreck like two days.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Ago and, Oh, what happened?
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 7: I don't know how I didn't die. I was not
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 7: paying attention and I got, I like rear-ended them, but
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: I was flying and I shouldn't have. And it totaled
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 7: the fuck out of my car. I don't know how
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 7: I died. I just came out with a small concussion
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 7: and nobody else was hurt.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: And did you have insurance?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's good.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 7: It's getting taken care of, but it's just been a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 7: shitty week. I got cheated on too, so. I can't
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 7: believe you actually listened to my voicemail.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: Well, it just shook me, you know? I mean, it
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: just made me, you know, it seemed like you're going
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: through a tough time, and I've been there for sure.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 7: I'm going on 19 hours.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Of no drinking?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: It's over right now.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: Let's go. That's awesome. Dude, 19 hours is big.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 7: It's a lot for me.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it is. I'm happy for you. That's awesome.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: What do you think, uh, So what time of day
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: or what kind of happens that you start to, you
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: feel like you start to fall apart a little bit
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: or make you drink?
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 7: Well, it was really the start of my job. I
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 7: started a job last year. We ended up having to work, like,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 7: it was a mandatory seven days a week. And it's
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 7: been like that the whole time I started. And I finally,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 7: they fired me in October. And that's when shit really
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 7: started to fall apart. I started showing up drinking on
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 7: the job and stuff. It was just getting really rough.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're just drinking to get by, huh?
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 7: I went through a couple of relationships. I tried to
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 7: make relationships and just got shit on. It's been a
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 7: rough year, really.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: And you got family over there or no?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I live with my mom and my dad.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, nice. Do you have any children?
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 9: I'm 24.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 7: I'm still living a little bit of life. I'm trying to.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, look, I think you got some blessings right there.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: So you don't have a responsibility outside of yourself you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: got to take care of. That's nice, you know? Yeah.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, except for your folks, you know?
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Do you ever go to AA meetings or anything?
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: No, I've never thought about it. I got put on
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 7: medication a while back, but I got off of it,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 7: and I think that kind of made it worse because
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 7: it's like cold turkey.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that can be tricky.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: But I felt like the medicine was just making me
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 7: more depressed, but it could be from the drinking too,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 7: while drinking on it. I've never had, like, talked to
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 7: a therapist or anybody about it.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: What do you feel? I mean, do you feel like
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: you drank too much? You just feel like you feel bad?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, or do you just feel like maybe you
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: just had a tough couple days? No judgment either. I'm
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: not judging you.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 9: I just.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 7: I've been through, I know there's people out there that
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 7: go through worse things, but I was in a relationship
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: for a few years before I moved back in with
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 7: my parents, and it was abusive. I was pregnant, and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: I lost my baby, and I think that's where it
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 7: all started. It was just really hard.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet that's tough, huh? You probably just, I
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: don't know, what did it What did you start feeling,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: you think?
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 7: I just felt like I couldn't do nothing or kill
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: it anymore. I think that's where it all started to
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 7: fall apart for me. And I kept trying to get
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: back up and it just kept bringing me back down.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 7: And then I just picked up alcohol. And it's funny
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 7: because I used to never want to drink, not even
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 7: when I turned 21.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 7: It's just a lot of baggage, I feel like. Oh, yeah.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, if I feel like I just can't do good anymore,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: that's a horrible feeling.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry that you've been dealing with all that.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to get back up on my feet, get
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 7: another job. I think that not working and stuff like
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 7: that is really, you're just sitting at home thinking in
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 7: your head all the time. I have one friend, and
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 7: I love her to death. She always tries to help me,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 7: but I'm kind of a hard head and I don't
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 7: listen to her.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We can't. Yeah, it's hard.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: Don't try to help me. Well, dang.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: I wish there was some way that I could help out.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I wish there was something I could do
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: to be supportive. Yeah. I mean, do they have therapists
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: in your town? Do you think even going to somebody
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: like that would help? I'm just trying to think of
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: something that might help you get a better, you know,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: or do you need to get a new job? Do
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: you think you could even work right now? What do
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: you think's going on?
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 7: I don't even I don't know how to start. I
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 7: don't know if I've always been around people that tell
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 7: me therapy doesn't work and you don't need to go
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: to pay somebody to tell them about your problems because
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 7: they don't care. You know, stuff like that. So I
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 7: guess I kind of just stuck that in my head,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 7: but I didn't need to go talk to people about it.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 7: I guess. Yeah. I kind of just hold it in
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 7: until I explode.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I just don't know if that's good or not.
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's good for anything to hold
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: anything in that long, you know?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 7: No, it's not. But I've always grew up where you
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 7: don't talk about your emotions that much.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, dude. Oh, God. If you felt something in
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: my neighborhood, somebody would call you a dang fuck, to
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, you know?
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: And no offense. I didn't say that. I think it's a.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 7: No, that is exactly how it is, Danny.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: But, Danny, I feel you there. Well, how about this?
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll just, is it, I'll check back in with
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: you in like a week or something to see how
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: things are going.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 7: That, it really helped me calling. You actually heard me.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 7: It just felt, made me feel better.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I know what that's, yeah, I can relate
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: to that, man, for sure.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 7: Sometimes you just need somebody to listen.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, man. I feel that. I feel that. Yeah,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: I feel that. I definitely feel that.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 7: It feels good to get it out, but some people
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 7: just don't want to hear about your problems. They're always like, well,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 7: I'm dealing with this, I'm dealing with that. Everybody's dealing
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 7: with shit. But sometimes you just need somebody to hear
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 7: you out and not make you feel crazy for it.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: And you're right. Sometimes we just want somebody to listen.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: You know, we just want something to be, you know,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: we just want a place to put something. There's obviously
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: different things you could go do to try to get
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: help for yourself, you know, or if you wanted to.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: You have insurance or no?
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool. So you could, if you wanted to try therapy,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: then you could try it at least. You know, I
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: know it takes time to like try and figure that out,
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: but that is a thing. And then, yeah, but yeah.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: How about this? I'll just, yeah, I just want to just,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: I'll check back in like in a week or something
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: and just see how you're doing. Is that okay if
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: I check back in?
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's fine.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool. All right, well, have a good time over there.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: What y'all going to do for Thanksgiving?
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 10: Shit, I don't know.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: What are your parents doing?
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 7: They're cooking some food. I'm not on good terms with
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 7: my brother right now, so it's going to be kind
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 7: of awkward sometimes.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: I wish I could figure that out before he gets
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: over there.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 7: Everybody tells me to apologize. I need to stop holding
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 7: the garage. I know I do. I'm working on it.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel you. Sometimes that stuff's hard. It's hard. Maybe,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel you. I struggle with that.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: I got the same issues with some of my family.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: It's tough. Family's tough. But yeah, if I can't swallow
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: my pride for my family, at least do it for myself,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: for others, you know, because it don't have to be
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: about me on Thanksgiving. That's what I started thinking the
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: other day.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't deserve to ruin other people's day
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: just because I have feelings a certain way, you know.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: I should be able to figure that out. I'm not
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: telling you that. I'm just saying that to me, really.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 7: Gotta be humble and grateful.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I just, I should be able to approach somebody
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: in my family at the end of the day, say
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: over the last minute on earth. what do I want
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: that family member to think? I want them to think, oh,
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: I was holding something against them, you know, that I
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: couldn't figure out, you know, like, no, I would want
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: my family member to think that I love them, you know?
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: And so I got to figure that out, even if
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: it's for short-term basis, you know, because I don't know.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: I just don't want, yeah, I don't want to be
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: always a part of the problem, you know? Yeah. But,
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: all right, well, I got to finish up because I'm
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: about to go watch some football.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: What's your first name? Well, I appreciate you calling, and
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: I just hope you hang in there. And, yeah, just
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: don't feel alone, you know, because that isn't true.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 7: I know I have family that supports me.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just have people that are like you.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: I think sometimes you just have to go find. You
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: have to. It's hard sometimes. We got to find them,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 7: So.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I hope I'm not trying, I don't sound
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: like I'm trying to preach at you.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 5: Do I?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 7: No, no, I needed this actually. I needed to talk
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 7: to somebody about it.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Anything else you're feeling?
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 7: No, I'm just going to drink a bunch of water
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 7: and keep going.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: There you go. Stay hydrated, baby. That's what you can do.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Emily, happy Thanksgiving.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: Happy Thanksgiving.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 7: You have a good one.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, you too. Take care. Wow. Sweet girl. Yeah, man.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: It just, that's wild. That's so fun to you. This
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: is saying things I'm dealing. I got some family, just
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: like it's tough, but then what do I want to do?
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I want to go. I want to bring all this
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: shit or tell my family members like, well, I don't
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: want to be there if they're there. And then I'm
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: just making a storm. And the truth is there's a
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: part of me inside of me that, that wants to
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: be around my family. It wants everything to be okay,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: you know? But there's another part of me that wants
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: to have things my way. That's really what it is
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: for me. Even if the other person wronged me or
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: I don't like their energy or whatever, I can't figure
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: this shit out for two hours. You know? And then
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: what's my part in it? I'm a saint?
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 7: No.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm a St. Bernard with a couple of face tattoos, baby.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: I'm fucking Jelly Wolf, you feel me? So don't make
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: me pop the trunk. Oh, this is my brother. Let
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: me see if I can get him to say a
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: couple of things he's thankful for. Big Z.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: What's up, bro?
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: Not much. I'm recording my podcast right now, brother. How
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: Good, good. Just checking in on you, bro, and seeing.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: Checking in on you after the other day.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I appreciate it, man. Yeah, I was just
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: talking to some girl. She, like, called her hotline. She'd
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: been having a tough time.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she just, yeah, she was having a tough time,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: so I just gave her, I just called over there
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: and was talking to her for a little while.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, from the show?
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice. Yeah, so you got the, you've been doing
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: the hotline more now? Someone said that to me the
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: other day.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to. Sometimes it's hard for me to feel comfortable.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: It's like I don't like to do it when I
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: don't or do solo. You know, sometimes I do my
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: podcast just by myself.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like to do it if I don't
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: feel comfortable. You know, like if I feel agitated or
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: something or I'm stressed out.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's fine. That makes sense to me. Yeah.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because it just feels like I can't be. I
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: don't feel like myself. you know, I just feel like
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just going through the emotions or whatever, you know.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you kind of caught up in other stuff. Yeah.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: But it was just, yeah. But some girls called, she'd
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: just been struggling.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice. That's pretty crazy. You kind of did a
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: little 12-step work on your podcast. Yeah.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just to listen to what she was talking about.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: She reminded me of just, it's funny because we both
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: had some of the same things, which was like being
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: around family during the holiday, just stuff like that too
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: we ended up talking about.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. I need to call that hotline, man. I
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: always forget about that. You think I can call in sometime?
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude. Well, actually, you can help us right now.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: We're finishing that. If you have a couple things you're
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: thankful for, we're just going to think of a couple
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: of them on the way out of the episode if
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: you got a couple.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: Oh man what am I thankful for.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Oh that's such a big question I know it is.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: I guess I mean I'm definitely thankful for you know
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 3: my family um you know you and everyone else in
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: our family for sure I'm really thankful for my friends
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: and the friendships that I've been developing um uh I
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: mean I'm thankful for um potential you know just like
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: being able to just to get up in the morning
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: and you know go for another day i'm thankful for
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: i'm really thankful for the time i get to be
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: a parent you.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: Know um oh yeah that's a good.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: One yeah i love parenting i love raising my children
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: um uh.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 7: What does that here?
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to have this hypothetical. It's a little
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: bit derogatory, but I can tell you if you want.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: All right, so if you're on an island and you
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: can't masturbate, right? You can't. Okay. That's the example. You
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: have no arms. You can't do it.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: Okay. You have legs, though?
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, yeah, but if you can use them to masturbate,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: then no, because you can't masturbate in this example.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, I see. So no matter what.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 4: There's no.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: Way you can do it. There's no way you can
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: do it with one leg. You have one leg and
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: no arms.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, got me.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 3: And you're just laying naked on the beach on this
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 3: deserted island, right?
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: But you have a strong libido. Okay. And you're a
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: heterosexual male, like you. I mean, like you probably are.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know for certain, but you probably are a
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 3: heterosexual male. So you're a heterosexual male. Yeah.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: And.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: You have a strong libido, you can't, and then all
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, there's another man on the island. Oh.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 3: So here's the question. Do you eventually have sex with
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: this man?
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think you do.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: Now, for me, it's a hell yeah.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: God.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 9: I mean.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: I don't mean like a... Well, yeah, think about it. Which,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: if you can't, if you can't masturbate, you can't have sex.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: But do y'all date for a long time first, or
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: is there any, or how does it even.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: No, one day you're out there just laying on the
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: beach because you can't walk. You only have one leg.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: You can get up and hop over there.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: Well, you could knee over. You could knee over. You
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: could hobble over. And then from the distance, here comes
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: this man walking, and he's got two legs.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Big spender, huh?
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 7: Big spender.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: He's got a shirt. He's got a shirt, but you
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: can see his chest and... You guys just strike it up.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about, dude?
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: Just listen, dude.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: It's the example.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: You make a little bonfire together. You roast weenies. You
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: have a little weenie roast.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: Wait, hold on. How come you can't even walk, but
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: suddenly you're a damn Weeblow Scout, dude?
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: No, bro. Look, he carries you over to the fire
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 3: and lays you down.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: Breasts up. Breasts up. Breasts up. Lays you down. And then,
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 3: so I'm just saying, eventually, eventually, you'd have sex even
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: though you're not, even though you're a heterosexual male.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: All right. All right, man, I'm gonna give you a
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: buzz back, all right?
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm thankful for. All right, bro, I love you.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: All right, love you too, man.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: It's got me thinking too, man. You're like, you'd have
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: to go on dates with the guy. You know what
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? You're like, And you'd have to know people
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: aren't coming to get you. You can't just, you know
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Trevin?
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 6: You'd be having sex with the guy and then you
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 6: hear a helicopter over the top.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, totally. Yeah, you can't be, if you just
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: are stuck on an island for two days and you
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: hook up with a dude, then you're just a gay guy.

  Speaker 1: the past couple weeks were really crazy, like, uh, Yeah,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: I kind of was like losing my mind. I went
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: on Joe Rogan's show and I was just having a
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: tough time on that. I just was like– I think
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: I got real scared like after like the election and
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: people making– like they're like podcasts swayed the election. And
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: I don't believe any of that. I believe people do
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: what they want to do. And then they make out
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: to be this big right-wing– people emailing me about fascism
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever. And just a lot– just like– Um, yeah,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: just cause I voted for my buddy. Bobby Kennedy's my friend.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: That is my friend. I know, but I, I, in fact, uh, he's,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: he's a good, he's a, just a, he's somebody I trust.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: He's my friend, right? I'll vote for my friend. You
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: think my friend is going to run for fricking president
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: of the United States and I'm not going to vote

  Speaker 1: think it's weird if you vote for your friend. I
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: don't give a fuck who anybody votes for, but yeah,
• 1:25:42
