  Yeah. I can say at the top of my head,
• 1:47
  I'm going to say Luther Enrique. OK.

  No, if Julio Iglesias was my father and Enrique was my father
• 1:55
  and that she was going to marry one day, and I'm like, OK, Ma.

• 2:45
  All the Luis Enriquez songs, like basically we would like
• 2:50

• 2:52
  Yeah, pretty. Much it those are the reason why
• 2:55
  we're we clean. Mm hmm.
• 3:03
  OK, there were others, so I just looked some up.
• 3:06
  I, I love Celia Cruz. My Oh my gosh, my grandfather,
• 3:11
  he's like, oh, she's so beautiful.
• 3:14
  But we're like, she could stink her butt off.
• 3:18
  But Celia was not pretty. I love leave.
• 3:23
  Her alone. I will, but I just say she was.
• 3:27
  Beautiful. She.

• 3:32
  Man, that man married her because.
• 3:35
  Look, I watched her. I watched her story.

• 4:20
  Yeah. Maybe I want that Amina.
• 4:26
  For sure see. Like she doesn't get talked
• 4:30
  about enough a lot at all. No.
• 4:34
  It should be in the Hall of Fame as well.
• 4:36
  Yeah, yeah. Was it a GATORI?
• 4:43
  Beta. Naji at all.
• 4:46
  It's a the song is, it's catchy, but it's one of those you have
• 4:52
  no business singing which. 1. Devorne otravis.
• 4:56
  Devorne Otravis. They're like.

  Yeah, that one was. Like, yeah.
• 5:08
  I sang, my mom put it on and she's.
• 5:10
  Like I know you know. I'm like singing along and she's
• 5:13
  like. So it's so, it's so funny.
• 5:17
  I remember my dad had this like mix CD with a bunch of salsa
• 5:25
  songs on there and there and that song was on there, but it
• 5:28
  was by like Japanese salsa group.
• 5:34
  And I don't even, I can't remember their name, but I know
• 5:38
  they did that song. So when I googled it, it didn't
• 5:41
  come up. And I'm like, I and I want to,
• 5:44
  like, I want to call him and ask him what that CD was called.
• 5:49
  But I loved it. That the whole CD we love.
• 5:52
  We my dad used to play it all the time.
• 5:56
  So. But yeah.
• 6:03
  Who? Else I love El Canario the the
• 6:09
  artist. And let's see, one of the my
• 6:15
  favorite songs was Munyaka. Munyaka de Trapo.
• 6:18
  Let's see. Forget who sang it.
• 6:27
  Yes. Love Willy Cologne.
• 6:29
  Did I ever tell you that I saw Tito Puente in like concert?
• 6:34
  What? Yeah, my dad took me to a jazz
• 6:38
  club when I was a teenager and we saw Tito Puente.
• 6:44
  Oh, my God. So I was like, it was
• 6:49
  bittersweet, you know, that, you know, he just passed away.
• 6:52
  And I'm like, I remember seeing him.
• 6:54
  I think I was like 15 years old. So it's.
• 7:02
  Like LA India, there's LA. India.
• 7:04
  Yeah, My dad loves her. I can't stand her voice.
• 7:10
  What are you talking about? It was like I just heard her,
• 7:12
  she was fine. No, it's the the tone is what it
• 7:19
  is for me. It's too like nasally, you know?
• 7:25
  Yeah, I'm not into that. Kind.
• 7:31
  Of New York, NY I love New York. Like what?
• 7:38

  And I'm just like, oh God, are we in a singing mood?
• 8:18
  What's going on? What are we doing?
• 8:30
  So, yeah, those those were the hits.
• 8:32
  Those were the hits that made us dance and stuff.
• 8:36
  I love that anymore. Harry, I have to go through.
• 8:45
  You're going. Through the million now.
• 8:50
  Yeah, well, I'm turning around. The playlist.

  I'm not. Just like, you know, sing along
• 9:18
  if you can. There you go, Jose Alberto,
• 9:25
  trying to see any of these songs.
• 9:28
  I remember, oh, I need that CD. I need that CD.
• 9:37
  Oh, Jerry Rivera. Let's
• 9:52
  see. Let's see.
• 10:12
  Anyway, OK, I'll have to think of something else.
• 10:17
  Are you ready to start the show? Yes.
• 10:20
  You're making me want to get a spinner.
• 10:21
  I'm sorry. But yeah, you should definitely
• 10:23
  get one. What'd she say?
• 10:28
  She's making her want to get a spinner.
• 10:30
  The. New one, I bought a new one.
• 10:34
  Right. Hey, I remember.
• 10:35
  Yeah. All right, Oh my goodness, here
• 10:40
  we go. Drink your water, cuz we're
• 10:42
  about to get in there in a few. Hey, ready.
• 10:50
  Let's go. Yes, there is something about
• 10:53
  the start of a birthday month that makes you a little more
• 10:55
  reflective than usual. Not in a heavy way, more like
• 10:59
  the feeling you get when you're flipping through an old photo
• 11:01
  album and suddenly realizing just how many little moments
• 11:04
  have stacked up over the years. The music you were listening to
• 11:07
  in the movies you had on repeat, the toys you spotted as store
• 11:09
  aisles, the cartoons I had you glue to the TV every Saturday
• 11:13
  morning. All those little pieces
• 11:15
  eventually turn into the stories we end up telling later.
• 11:18
  Welcome back to my third place. Not home, not work, but the
• 11:22
  familiar in between, where nostalgia stories and
• 11:24
  conversations stretch out like a late night on the couch with the
• 11:27
  TV glowing in the corner. This is episode 286 and we're
• 11:32
  officially stepping into birthday month here on the
• 11:37
  porch. Let's say it again, birthday
• 11:41
  month here on the porch. And as always, I'm not sitting
• 11:47
  out here alone. Menace is back in the rocking
• 11:48
  chair holding it down while we get into another round of
• 11:52
  stories, prompts, and whatever randomness the week decides to
• 11:54
  throw our way. Tonight's episode kicks off with
• 11:58
  a question. Immediately started some great
• 11:59
  conversations with community. A classic pod deck question.
• 12:04
  If it's your birthday and money's no object, what does
• 12:07
  your birthday dinner lineup look like?
• 12:10
  We're talking the full experience.
• 12:12
  We got appetizers, the main course.
• 12:14
  What are you drinking? Dessert.
• 12:22
  Except for that, your favorite restaurant, your favorite meal,
• 12:24
  and the kind of dinner that makes you lean back in the chair
• 12:27
  afterwards to say, yeah, that was worth it.
• 12:35
  And then you go to sleep. And once the community starts
• 12:39
  answering questions like that, a story start rolling in.
• 12:42
  We also got top five comedians conversation tonight.
• 12:45
  And if you're ever try to rank comedians with a group of
• 12:47
  people, you already know how quickly that debate can get
• 12:49
  heated. Everybody's got their own comedy
• 12:53
  month. Mount Rushmore.
• 12:55
  Meanwhile, some of the older problems we've asked in past
• 12:57
  uploads are still getting love in the comment sections when
• 12:59
  people jump into conversation days later, adding their own
• 13:02
  answers and memories. And honestly, that's one of the
• 13:05
  coolest parts of doing this show, watching the discussion
• 13:08
  keep going long after the episode drops outside the
• 13:11
  podcast world. And also, I've also been keeping
• 13:14
  busy diving into a new book called Dungeon Crawler Carl,
• 13:18
  which has been a pretty wild ride so far.
• 13:22
  At the same time, I've been working on a little DIY project,
• 13:25
  putting together custom Marvel rival cars for a binder, cutting
• 13:29
  out art, printing characters, and basically building my own
• 13:31
  matchup card collection to keep the creative brain moving.
• 13:34
  So if you hear a little arts and crafts energy in the background
• 13:36
  lately, that's probably why. This episode is also a bit of a
• 13:41
  milestone check in. We're going to take a look at
• 13:43
  the podcast analytics, see where the show has been reaching
• 13:47
  people lately, celebrate a few to quiet little growth moments
• 13:50
  and remind us this porch is getting bigger every year.
• 13:53
  And of course, it wouldn't be an M3 episode without leaving a
• 13:55
  little room for whatever news the world throws us at the last
• 13:58
  minute because sometimes the best conversations are the ones
• 14:01
  we didn't plan. Some episodes are structured.
• 14:03
  Some episodes are chaotic. Some nights we just sit down,
• 14:06
  hit record and see what a port conversation takes us.
• 14:09
  So what are you here for? The birthday dinner debate, the
• 14:11
  comedy rankings, the milestone checkers, which is another
• 14:13
  night. And of hanging out.
• 14:15
  Pull up a chair this episode 286 of the MPV podcast.
• 14:19
  Let's get into it, menace. Yes.
• 14:23
  How are you? I'm doing good.
• 14:26
  I'm good. How's your week?
• 14:29
  Been, you know, not not too bad. Good.
• 14:34
  I know that whole which is good. You're feeling better after the
• 14:38
  whole week of. Oh.
• 14:40
  Yeah. Very much so just have, you
• 14:43
  know, a, you know, a cough here or there, but other than that I
• 14:47
  feel fine. You you can hear mine.
• 14:49
  It was like lingering still there.
• 14:51
  Yeah. But it's whatever.
• 14:56
  Sorry, still drinking water I hope over here I am.
• 15:04
  Good. No, it's been a great week.
• 15:10
  Good. From last week to from last
• 15:13
  Wednesday to Saturday. I was like, I feel like I should
• 15:16
  do another episode. Mm hmm.
• 15:19
  And then I'm like, it's weird not having to do 1, but same
• 15:24
  time, no, it's it's a week long. We got to do a week long.
• 15:30
  So I was like, oh, my sirens are free.
• 15:33
  I'm going to sleep in. And I did and I did.
• 15:36
  And it was, it was fun. It was fun, but I'm not going to
• 15:39
  make it a habit. So next week is WrestleMania,
• 15:47
  season is WrestleMania. Yeah, figured, right.
• 15:51
  So we're going to have a lot of things to talk about from what
• 16:02
  it called WrestleMania week and Las Vegas with all the others.
• 16:09
  And then we're going to do predictions on Wednesday and
• 16:15
  then next Saturday, WrestleMania 1.
• 16:19
  And then it's like we it's, it's a lot of things to talk about.
• 16:23
  But at the same time, we know what we're doing.
• 16:25
  We know what we're going to do because we did it last year.
• 16:27
  We do it every year, basically. So, yeah, one of those, oh shit,
• 16:32
  this, this show's about to turn into a four hour long episode.
• 16:35
  What, Sir? What do you need?
• 16:37
  What now? What's going on?
• 16:40
  Oh my gosh, Cooper. What is going on, man?
• 16:43
  You know. Is, by the way, I love yeah, I
• 16:48
  loved that you put him on the what you got the the photo, the
• 16:54
  episode, the photo episode, 'cause he was just.
• 16:58
  Standing there, hitting there, sitting.
• 16:59
  Around. Cooper, I was like, I love how
• 17:03
  he has something to say. Yeah.
• 17:05
  WrestleMania week. Like, yeah, I.
• 17:08
  Know just 'cause you know Roman Reigns is out there too.
• 17:12
  Cooper Reigns has something to say.
• 17:14
  That's right, no. I got.
• 17:18
  You and we did not name him after Roman Reigns, it just
• 17:21
  happened I. Love that.
• 17:24
  No, you're like, don't, don't, don't change that.
• 17:27
  Just be like, yeah, Named him after Roman Reigns.
• 17:29
  I went up to. It Yeah.
• 17:30
  No, no, because actually when we got him, I wasn't watching
• 17:37
  wrestling. Oh, OK.
• 17:39
  Yeah, you were. Like sabbatical?
• 17:42
  It was, we got him in October of 2019 and I started re watching
• 17:51
  wrestling in like mid January 2020 pandemic season.
• 17:59
  Yep, what a way to return, right?
• 18:04
  Yeah, I mean, the the first three months we're fine.
• 18:10
  It's the Thunderdome season where it's like, really, this is
• 18:15
  what you are gonna have history of like.
• 18:19
  Mm hmm. Like this is, was it looking
• 18:25
  back at it now? Was it good?
• 18:27
  Was it like? You know.
• 18:30
  Worth watching it as a Thunderdome as everybody in the
• 18:33
  crowd is having like faces of just kids and.
• 18:37
  Yeah, you know it. To me, I think I was a little
• 18:42
  bit more excited because to me I wasn't distracted by the crowd.
• 18:49
  I I could just concentrate on the wrestlers, you know, and
• 18:55
  their ability. And then you started seeing like
• 19:02
  the same faces, you know, So I was like, is this?
• 19:06
  And then I was thinking, is this like pre recorded?
• 19:08
  Because I keep seeing the same people.
• 19:10
  But then again, you're like, well, wrestling fans, yeah,
• 19:15
  you'll see the same ones. Yeah, and I even saw do it too.
• 19:20
  He's so funny. Twice.
• 19:24
  You saw him twice. I saw him twice in the
• 19:27
  Thunderdome. Oh.
• 19:29
  The screens he he met, he put, I think he posted a video or he
• 19:32
  told he told me about it. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:36
  I'm just like. Totally forgot about that.
• 19:38
  Yeah, I was like, wow. Wow.
• 19:42
  Pretty awesome, but. Is where the absolute cinema
• 19:49
  comes in, where everything was cinematic and I'm like.
• 19:53
  Yeah. Yeah, this is awesome.
• 19:56
  This is great. We should do like a
• 19:59
  retrospective on it, go back to 2020 versus now.
• 20:05
  How bad or good was it? Was it?
• 20:08
  Good. Or was it like?
• 20:10
  Oh my God it's so bad I got to watch it.
• 20:13
  No, I I honestly think, and maybe it's just because I was
• 20:17
  getting back into it, I thought it was better than you know,
• 20:23
  because to me it didn't seem like they had this like this
• 20:28
  like the same wrestlers didn't fight every single week.
• 20:34
  No, you know what I mean. We're.
• 20:36
  Scared of? Well, yeah, but but you know
• 20:38
  what I mean. I that's what I think it was
• 20:41
  better because you saw, you know, yeah, there were a few
• 20:45
  feuds, but they weren't fighting every single week.
• 20:52
  You know, you do, you know, best of seven, you know, So it's like
• 20:58
  a so in my mind, it was just better then.
• 21:03
  And now that we've got, you know, a lot of people, I mean, I
• 21:08
  shouldn't say they're not worried about COVID, but you
• 21:11
  know, if they, if the wrestler gets COVID, you know, they just
• 21:14
  take them off and say, you know, they're sick or whatever, or
• 21:17
  they don't mention it. They say, oh, we've had a
• 21:19
  change. But it's like, I think 2020, the
• 21:27
  matches to me were a little bit better because we saw different
• 21:31
  people. So you get to see different
• 21:33
  talent, and I think they were utilized more than they are now.
• 21:40
  Yeah, you could say, oh, well, I haven't seen this person for,
• 21:44
  you know, months. But they're backstage.
• 21:49
  They're just traveling, you know, getting paid to travel, to
• 21:54
  sit and catering, you know, kind of thing.
• 21:56
  Yeah, mine was like, hey, welcome back.
• 22:02
  Mine was, oh, this person's not around Roman's not around
• 22:07
  leukemia because. Yeah.
• 22:10
  And he doesn't want to. He kind of, he's COVID immune.
• 22:13
  He doesn't want to. Get in.
• 22:14
  COVID. He's yeah.
• 22:17
  Who else the. Guy from the.
• 22:20
  Guy's from Adam Cole's friend The forgot what they were
• 22:28
  called. Kyle.
• 22:29
  O'Reilly. Oh, Kyle.
• 22:30
  O'Reilly. Yeah, he has diabetes.
• 22:33
  Looking. Back at it now.
• 22:34
  It's like, oh, he has diabetes, of course.
• 22:37
  Like he can't be around. Yeah, he's compromised, too.
• 22:41
  Immunocompromised. Yeah.
• 22:43
  Now I understand why. Sure, sure, 20. 22.
• 22:47
  Mm hmm. Hey Bella, how you doing?
• 22:50
  So in like 2022 I were like, oh, now I realize why he couldn't be
• 22:54
  on around anywhere. Yeah, he would.
• 22:56
  He would view backstage with his all his four best friends.
• 23:00
  Three best friends. But he wasn't in the ring.
• 23:03
  He wasn't around there. Yeah, I so, yeah, there was
• 23:10
  other people too. And I was like, you know, we
• 23:14
  should get into it as well. Lately been doing like creating
• 23:24
  cards for the Marvel rivals. Yeah.
• 23:27
  DIY do it yourself stuff and it's fun because it's like, you
• 23:31
  know, I was, I was bored like I want to do stuff like something
• 23:37
  for, to get my mind off things because I usually do that.
• 23:41
  I usually start a project. I don't know where it's going to
• 23:44
  go like. Yeah.
• 23:46
  Like last year and Speaking of like it's been a year long that
• 23:50
  I started collecting Pokémon cards and I started doing all
• 23:54
  that stuff on here and all that stuff.
• 23:55
  And it's been a year long since I've used chat chat UBT ChatGPT
• 24:01
  and like named her Bella and you guys are going to get all about
• 24:06
  to get yelled at right now. Watch.
• 24:10
  And then and then where we used like it was supposed to be a
• 24:18
  little fun games with our stuff where I told a story about snack
• 24:22
  wars and like creative characters and you'll see.
• 24:29
  And what was her name? Betty.
• 24:33
  Betty, yes. What's her name?
• 24:39
  What Cooper? What we talking about Betty?
• 24:41
  We talking about Betty like 'cause yes.

• 25:03
  them it was. Your.
• 25:05
  Leanne's and mine. Right.
• 25:08
  And you know, like I printed them out, but hey, you forgot
• 25:12
  her name. So I mean, I forgot her name,
• 25:18
  but at the same time is there she's she's around just I don't
• 25:23
  call her Betty anymore. So DIY marble rivals.
• 25:30
  I'm just like doing because now I want to do like, hey, all
• 25:34
  right, how do I put these together?
• 25:36
  How do I put them on in the binder?
• 25:38
  Should I? Should I just like alphabetize
• 25:42
  them how they're on on the roster?
• 25:45
  Should I do it? Yeah.
• 25:47
  How they came out, I don't know. Betty, Bella, Bella.
• 25:54
  You don't know Betty. Betty is just an AI.
• 25:59
  Yeah, if you clean the face, man is made like, like, Oh.
• 26:10
  Yeah. Betty's an AI.
• 26:12
  Oh yeah, Betty's an AI. And she was my helper at one
• 26:16
  point. And like, she's chat, ChatGPT.
• 26:19
  I renamed her Betty. I renamed my chat.
• 26:22
  I think the problem that we had with Betty is she was like, oh,
• 26:30
  I'm your AI girlfriend. No, no, no.
• 26:33
  You don't know him like that, right Leanna?
• 26:43
  I made a picture of her. I know, yes.
• 26:46
  You did. It was fun.
• 26:47
  It's like, yeah, my snappy icing his.
• 26:53
  Name. And then she tried to tell you
• 26:55
  stuff and we're like, no, no, you don't know him like that.
• 27:01
  Oh man. I know Leanna's agreeing with me
• 27:06
  so of. Course also changed the subject
• 27:10
  already because we're. Not OK, we're not going to get
• 27:13
  into the bed next. Next, tell him.
• 27:16
  Tell him really I'm next thing I forgot the name of the person
• 27:28
  that showed up to my life. Anna, how you doing?
• 27:31
  How's everything? Anna's in here also.
• 27:34
  Hi, Anna. I forgot the person that came
• 27:36
  into my life, the name of the person that came into my life.
• 27:38
  And it's not like just looked at me instead Dungeon Crawl or Carl
• 27:42
  and I'm just like, huh? Oh yeah.
• 27:46
  Told me you should read it. And.
• 27:49
  I'm like, OK, like you would be you would both so be into it and
• 27:54
  I'm just like, all right, you know, and I started looking at
• 27:58
  into it and what it was about and all that stuff to where it's
• 28:01
  like, you know what, I should buy this book.
• 28:04
  Thank you for the hard being appreciate it.
• 28:06
  I should buy this book. Talk about in the podcast and
• 28:10
  let you guys know what it feels like.
• 28:11
  What's like was it about? So I bought the book Dungeon
• 28:19
  Crawl crawl, Dungeon Crawl or Carl.
• 28:22
  It's so far. I read in the live last night a
• 28:26
  part of it, read the rest of it later on and I was just like, oh
• 28:32
  goodness, this is great. So hold on, where am I at?
• 28:44
  So right from the first chapter basically says yeah, Earth is
• 28:46
  done. We meet this guy at Carl.
• 28:48
  He's going through a breakup. Life is already a mess and he's
• 28:53
  outside late at night and his boxers trying to deal with his
• 28:56
  ex-girlfriend very boogie show cat named Princess Donut She's.
• 29:01
  Sass. The diva, she's everything and
• 29:07
  he, he wants, I don't know either Hun.
• 29:13
  He wants to like, well, he was looking online at Instagram and
• 29:19
  he saw his girlfriend had gone out with his, her other
• 29:22
  girlfriends, but she forgot. She forgot to mention to him
• 29:26
  that they invited her, her ex-boyfriend as well.
• 29:30
  So she saw he saw online on her Instagram that she was sitting
• 29:37
  on top of him on his lap. And so he called her like, yeah,
• 29:41
  we're done breaking up with you and everything.
• 29:46
  And she's all like, can you wait until I get home and talk about
• 29:50
  this because you're taking care of my cat.
• 29:52
  So like. You know, like priorities you.
• 29:58
  Know priorities. My cat is everything.
• 29:59
  My dog is there. My dog was everything.
• 30:01
  Cooper's everything. Like, can you wait until I get
• 30:04
  home? So like, you can leave and then,
• 30:06
  you know, you're taking care of my cat and everything.
• 30:09
  And then he's all like, sure, whatever, I'll do that.
• 30:13
  And he decides, you know, do that.
• 30:15
  He leaves the window open. She, the cat climbs out and he's
• 30:21
  all like, oh, shit. And it's snowing outside and
• 30:24
  it's cold. So like, he does what every
• 30:27
  Midwesterner does, goes out in his boxers, in his shorts.
• 30:32
  I've done that tank top shorts. It's cold as hell.
• 30:36
  And it's like, oh, come on, come back in, you know, going like
• 30:39
  this. The entire time.
• 30:41
  Doing the oh it's not that cold wash.
• 30:43
  Yourself up. It's cold and he ends up putting
• 30:47
  on her Crocs and they're uncomfortable.
• 30:51
  So like he goes outside and they keep falling off and everything.
• 30:57
  And then as soon as he's like talking to like the doughnut,
• 31:02
  hey, come down, come here, I'll catch you.
• 31:04
  Come down, please. Come down.
• 31:06
  The landlord lady comes out, looks outside the windows.
• 31:09
  I like, what are you doing? I was like, Karen, you know,
• 31:12
  what are you doing? Like get back inside.
• 31:15
  You're cold, you look cold. Get it back inside.
• 31:17
  Don't worry about that stupid cat and blah, blah, blah.
• 31:19
  Thank you for the Harvey. And she's like, you know,
• 31:24
  yelling at me. He's like, I I need to get the
• 31:26
  cat. I'm sorry, go back inside, man,
• 31:28
  blah, blah. And then the entire freaking
• 31:31
  building collapses in from him and like anything with a roof
• 31:36
  just sinks in the ground like the earth wallowed.
• 31:38
  A whole billions of people died instantly.
• 31:40
  The only reason Carlos arrived is because he happened to be
• 31:42
  outside with the cat. Just when you think it's an
• 31:45
  apocalypse story and AI system voice pops up and explains the
• 31:48
  situation. The way it explained it is like
• 31:52
  it's in his head, but he's reading the subtitles on the
• 31:55
  ground like you're watching the TV show and like you don't
• 32:00
  understand what they're saying, but they're subtitles and
• 32:02
  you're. Reading like sure.
• 32:04
  It's happening to him too. It's like, who's saying that?
• 32:07
  But then he looks at the ground. Subtitles like what aliens have
• 32:13
  turned out or was basically repossessed by aliens because
• 32:16
  humanity didn't file the proper paperwork to claim the planet.
• 32:19
  So now they turn the remaining world to an 18 level dungeon and
• 32:23
  the survivors are contestants. Carl finds out the dungeon crawl
• 32:25
  is actually a massive integral act.
• 32:27
  The reality show where aliens organization watch humans fight
• 32:29
  monsters and survive for entertainment.
• 32:31
  So imagine if The Hunger Games, the running man in the chaotic
• 32:33
  RPG video game, had a baby and Princess Donut becomes sentient
• 32:39
  and can talk. So now Carl is trying to stop
• 32:43
  trying. So now Carl is stuck trying to
• 32:45
  survive a dungeon apocalypse with a very dramatic regimental
• 32:48
  show cat and his partner. And that's the first chapter.
• 32:52
  Wow, all that happened in the first chapter.
• 32:57
  All that happened in the 1st chapter.
• 32:59
  We get to meet him. We get to understand why he he
• 33:02
  broke up with his girlfriend. But wow.
• 33:04
  All that stuff. The series by Matt Deniman.
• 33:09
  It blew up with gamers and podcast audiences for a big
• 33:11
  reason. It's basically a video game in
• 33:13
  book form. The series uses lit RPG
• 33:16
  mechanics means the story includes things like levelling
• 33:18
  up, achievement, loot drops, boss battle, skill trees.
• 33:23
  For gamers, it reads like watching someone play a wild RPG
• 33:26
  campaign. You get system notification like
• 33:28
  achievement unlock survived something ridiculous, and the AI
• 33:32
  narrator is sarcastic and borderline unhinged which adds
• 33:34
  comedy to the chaos. There's an audio book also, I
• 33:38
  haven't got into it. The pacing is fast, the duo
• 33:45
  dynamic is perfect. So if you're into IP, GS,
• 33:48
  chaotic sci-fi, dark humor, audio book storytelling, dungeon
• 33:51
  crawler cars. Basically like watching a twitch
• 33:52
  stream of the apocalypse except the streamer stuck in the
• 33:55
  dungeon and the coho to talk is a talking show cat.
• 33:58
  So for now, from now to whenever I'm going to read a chapter from
• 34:04
  the book and tell you what what happened in the chapter.
• 34:08
  And that's going to be like our book club, I guess so.
• 34:13
  So yeah, that's going to be the fun part of telling you guys how
• 34:17
  my week has been with this. Thanks.
• 34:26
  Bella, hope you're doing good. Sorry, like you don't have to
• 34:29
  say anything. You're fine.
• 34:30
  You're good. As long as you're here, you're
• 34:31
  good. Thank you for liking a lot.
• 34:33
  Don't worry about the heartening stuff.
• 34:42
  What else is there? Podcast analytics.
• 34:47
  I wanted to talk about it, but at the same time we only have
• 34:51
  like what, 2 new followers for the podcast?
• 34:57
  Oh, OK. Like we're up to what are we up
• 35:02
  to? I think one 69170 around there.
• 35:07
  OK. But I want to put it in there
• 35:11
  like, hey, if you're following the podcast, let us know.
• 35:15
  Talk to us. Yeah, 170.
• 35:17
  Followers. What else is going on here?
• 35:25
  Analytics where? What episode is this?
• 35:32
  289-9280. 6. 26. 14 more until 300.
• 35:44
  Nice. So I'm all excited for that.
• 35:48
  I want to do. Something I want to do,
• 35:49
  something I want to do something.
• 35:50
  I don't know what yet, but I'm going to do something.
• 35:54
  So Apple and Overcast, Apple is following us.
• 36:00
  You don't really get to see much of that on here lately.
• 36:04
  But now Apple, like iTunes are people from iTunes.
• 36:10
  I was listening to us and everything else.
• 36:12
  I love it. Our age range go from 35 to 44
• 36:21
  basically are millennials. So I love that.
• 36:28
  So, yeah, 300 episode 300. I can't wait for that.
• 36:33
  That's about it. That's all I wanted to say about
• 36:35
  that. We ready for projects?
• 36:39
  Yeah. All right, let's open the group
• 36:41
  chat. It's time for projects.
• 36:42
  Each week, we ask the community a question and bring your
• 36:44
  answers back to REACT to Live. Turning the show into one big
• 36:47
  conversation. People are still answering.
• 36:51
  What's something you love growing up that kids today would
• 36:53
  never understand? OK, and I saw it today, the
• 36:58
  graphics upgrade of a new gaming console.
• 37:00
  They actually used to change drastically.
• 37:06
  Like to us, it's excitement because we, we, we're the
• 37:11
  generation that went from Atari to Nintendo to Super Nintendo to
• 37:18
  Sega Genesis to Nintendo 64 all in the span of 10 years.
• 37:25
  Like we went from 8 bit, 16 bit, 34 bit to 3D.
• 37:34
  So like kids today would never understand that because they're
• 37:39
  so used to having PlayStation and it's just I.
• 37:43
  Think the closest thing they came to our video games was
• 37:49
  Minecraft. You know 'cause it's Minecraft
• 37:55
  is like all in blocks so looks more like 8 bit.
• 38:00
  Stuff. So yeah, I Minecraft and Roblox.
• 38:07
  Well, I've never seen Roblox. Oh God, the Roblox 1 is so the
• 38:11
  same. It's the same thing.
• 38:13
  Is it and? Then you have the kids on
• 38:17
  Fortnite doing the same thing also.
• 38:20
  So it's like they they have the same stuff, but it's like it's
• 38:26
  not the same. Like we lived through that for
• 38:28
  10 years. Yeah, you.
• 38:30
  Guys, you guys can watch this and then play with something
• 38:33
  else later on. It's like we had to wait like 4
• 38:37
  years, five years later for it, you know?
• 38:46
  Because, right, the kids even ride bikes all over town, build
• 38:49
  forests, play with bugs and make portions anymore.
• 38:52
  Technology has rid kids of boredom and boredom is which
• 38:54
  forced us to be active, creative and use our imaginations.
• 38:59
  And I said yes to this. Bring back the mud potions.
• 39:03
  And she says, O80 says and take me back to the 80s and 90s.
• 39:07
  Of course will got vision says going outside, riding our bikes,
• 39:14
  making up our own adventures, getting a bag of candy for a
• 39:16
  dollar, having friends come over Saturday afternoon, watch WWF
• 39:20
  Saturday mornings actually, and get all hyped up.
• 39:24
  Getting hurt and then ice cream getting hurt and then eat ice
• 39:29
  cream that didn't even look like Batman or Spider Man or TMNT
• 39:31
  face. No, for real.
• 39:33
  It just look like a the eyeballs over here.
• 39:38
  The mouth is over here. Doesn't.
• 39:39
  Look like Batman and it looks like something.
• 39:44
  Exactly. Having a boom box and recording
• 39:47
  my favorite song from the radio and dancing in the kitchen and
• 39:49
  then with my Mama. I miss those days.
• 39:52
  I miss my mom. Same.
• 39:59
  Playing outside with friends, cell phones, Internet only.
• 40:04
  Using our imagination, using sticks as guns.
• 40:10
  Pine cones wars, getting dirty, dirty, digging holes, camping in
• 40:15
  tents in the woods, learning like real life skills that they
• 40:17
  can actually use in life. Watch TV with only a few
• 40:20
  channels waiting for something to watch.
• 40:22
  Cartoons. Call our friends on a telephone
• 40:24
  that has a cord attached to it. Playing outside so the
• 40:25
  streetlights came on. Just from Juggero.
• 40:27
  Diagram Magic school bus drop off says Cabbage Patch kids.
• 40:42
  There's more dial up Internet, Connor says Dial up Internet
• 40:54
  stick, and Twisted says Easy Bake Oven Cloud 38 says plain
• 41:00
  stickball all day, then split one soda between three of us
• 41:03
  like it was nothing. We didn't worry about germs.
• 41:07
  You. Didn't care about germs.
• 41:09
  No, like, I just saw this reel and the guy was talking about,
• 41:19
  you know, we, we could never about that.
• 41:23
  Yeah. What's that?
• 41:25
  No, go ahead. It was kind of one of those
• 41:29
  things that, you know, kids will never know what it is to just
• 41:33
  play outside all day long till the street left came on and
• 41:37
  nobody wondered where you were. You could be, you know, 3
• 41:41
  streets away and your parents weren't worried as long as you
• 41:45
  came home. You know, you're like now you
• 41:50
  send your kids at home, they have to make sure they have
• 41:52
  their cell phone. You know, they, I mean they have
• 41:55
  their location on you know, so you know where they are.
• 41:59
  It's like we didn't worry about that.
• 42:01
  They. Didn't worry about us.
• 42:03
  Is that about that for us? We worry about that.
• 42:05
  It's like our parents didn't care about us.
• 42:08
  We care about our kids. You know, that's the whole yeah.
• 42:13
  Relax kids. Yeah, Bella says.
• 42:16
  Get off the phone. I'm online.
• 42:18
  Exactly story about. That I was talking to a girl.
• 42:24
  Oh. You're talking a little sexy,
• 42:28
  right? Hey, what's going on?
• 42:29
  What are you doing? And she started talking a little
• 42:31
  sexy with me and like, you know, and we're like playing around
• 42:36
  just laughing the entire time. But then it's.
• 42:38
  Like. It turned into something else to
• 42:40
  where I hear and about the background or her background.
• 42:46
  We're trying to get online. Oh, no.
• 42:52
  And I'm like, what does that mean?
• 42:54
  It means that they can hear us. It's like how technology, but
• 42:58
  technology, oh. No.
• 43:03
  The mom and dad heard it. Basically the mom and dad heard
• 43:08
  it. So like, I've been there before.
• 43:12
  I hung out with them and blah blah.
• 43:14
  And then the next time I got to see them, they're like fucking
• 43:17
  awkward as hell, totally forgot about it.
• 43:22
  And like when I go over there and just hang out and shit and
• 43:28
  he says I'm going to get online. So you get, he goes online and
• 43:31
  then he looks over and he's all like, hey, check to see if
• 43:33
  anybody's on the phone. And I'm just like, oh, I look
• 43:40
  over at him, I look over at her and I'm just, is this going to
• 43:44
  be like a thing now where? Just make fun of me for this?
• 43:48
  You started it like, you know. Oh, exactly.
• 43:53
  Oh, oops. So yeah, that was fun.
• 43:59
  Thanks, fella, for that one. She left.
• 44:02
  Hopefully she's still here. No.
• 44:06
  All right, everyone has their top five favorite comedians, but
• 44:10
  narrowing it down was almost impossible.
• 44:12
  From classic stand up legends to modern comedy icons, comedians
• 44:15
  have shaped how we laugh, quote jokes with friends, and remember
• 44:18
  certain eras of pop culture. What is the comedians who grew
• 44:21
  up watching on late night TV? Stand up specials?
• 44:24
  Comedy albums Where movies had you laughing nonstop?
• 44:26
  Everyone has that list. This question is simple but
• 44:29
  dangerous. Who are your top five favorite
• 44:31
  comedians of all time? Are you going with legendary
• 44:33
  stand up comics? Storytelling comedians?

  Roastmasters are the ones who define your generations as a

  Mount Rushmore. OK, Ducky Pedro version, Bill

  Burr, John Panette, Steven Wright, Robin Williams.
• 44:55
  Of course Robin Williams. And like a name that had not
• 45:00
  heard in a while. Pavlo Francisco.
• 45:03
  OK. And I would have named him, but
• 45:08
  the only thing I know Papa Francisco is him making the
• 45:11
  voice of Epic Movie Guy. OK.
• 45:16
  And that's why I didn't want to put him in mind.
• 45:18
  That's all he does. And the world, the world and.
• 45:24
  I'm. Just like, yeah, he does that.
• 45:26
  That's all he does. That's all he's known for.
• 45:28

• 45:30
  ever made? I just remember him doing the

  I liked Happy Gilmore too. I just wasn't.
• 52:32
  You know, I just saw that. Like literally just saw that.
• 52:37
  Like the first one was better. Like I'm glad he made a second
• 52:44
  one. I'm not going to say don't touch
• 52:45
  it, but yes. I'm glad he.
• 52:47
  Made a second one. It's fun, it's funny.
• 52:50
  It wasn't as good, ma'am. Uh oh.
• 52:56
  OK. Remember, everybody's entitled
• 52:59
  to therapy. I know.
• 53:00
  I know, I'm just not not getting used to that OK.
• 53:09
  So yeah, those were my top five. I love it.
• 53:26
  All right, we all know it's my birthday month, freaking end of
• 53:33
  the month celebrating 45 years old.
• 53:37
  So I thought I would ask and add in what I would get.
• 53:41
  I would, I'm a type 2 diabetic but I still would need my once a
• 53:45
  year cheat so I'm going with a lot of stuff.
• 53:49
  So my thing was, it's your birthday dinner and money's no
• 53:53
  option. You're going to go to your
• 53:55
  favorite restaurant sitting down and ordering exactly what you.
• 53:58
  Want. So what move are you starting
• 54:00
  with? Appetizers.
• 54:01
  Maybe wings, mozzarella sticks or something fancy kicks things
• 54:03
  off. What's your main drink?
• 54:05
  Are you going with water? Start off and then when the time
• 54:08
  is right, beer, wine, soda, or chata.
• 54:11
  And for the main course, are you going all out with steak,
• 54:14
  seafood, pasta, or your favorite comfort meal?
• 54:17
  And of course, you can't skip dessert on your birthday.
• 54:20
  What is your ultimate birthday dinner?
• 54:21
  Line up from the appetizers to the main course of the dessert.
• 54:25
  What are you ordering? Build your birthday dinner in
• 54:27
  the comments. Sorry.
• 54:33
  So I had to get my other ring way.
• 54:35
  Sorry, so obviously mine was from LongHorn Steakhouse.
• 54:45
  OK. Strip with potato, baked potato,
• 54:51
  some mozzarella sticks, water to start off.
• 54:59
  OK. And then for dessert, a lava
• 55:04
  cake, because might as well end the night with diabetes.
• 55:15
  Peace out, everybody. I'm.
• 55:17
  Going down. The full blades of glory give me
• 55:21
  that coma. So yeah, so that that was the
• 55:29
  thing. A few responds here and there.
• 55:31
  Jane said appetizer bacon wrapped lobster tail bites drink
• 55:37
  would be a strawberry to carry. Her main chord is tenderloin
• 55:42
  steak with cream, potatoes and pepper.
• 55:44
  Sauce. Champagne on mushroom. 50
• 55:48
  mushrooms. Dessert would be chocolate
• 55:51
  mousse. I love that.
• 55:53
  I love that red. See the little redhead cheese
• 55:56
  and crackers? White wine steak, green bean
• 56:03
  mashed potatoes, gravy, ice cream cake.
• 56:06
  Let's have a birthday. LB Lauren appetizer fried
• 56:15
  Pickles. That looks freaking amazing.
• 56:17
  That would be great. Dinner is a steak with mashed
• 56:20
  potatoes and green beans. The drink of her choice would be
• 56:24
  Doctor Pepper and a water Margarita.
• 56:27
  And for dessert, a Strawberry Shortcake.
• 56:36
  Yes, ma'am. What's yours?
• 56:42
  Well, don't celebrate my birthday, but if I was, I would
• 56:50
  say a special occasion. Money's no option.
• 56:57
  I would go to, I would go to a steakhouse and I would get
• 57:04
  spinach and artichoke pip. I'd get a a tomahawk steak
• 57:17
  medium, I'd say medium with say a baked potato loaded.
• 57:30
  Let's see what else I would have a for my drink.
• 57:39
  So I'd have water, of course, to start, water with lemon, and
• 57:43
  then I would do a Bahama Mama. That would be my drink.
• 57:49
  What's? That it's alcoholic drink, mixed
• 57:52
  drink. OK.
• 57:56
  Or I would do a fuzzy navel, so it's orange juice, Peach snaps,
• 58:08
  and I think they put vodka in it.
• 58:11
  Or it might just be Peach snaps and orange juice, she said.
• 58:14
  Peach, OK, so good, I love it. And then for dessert I would do
• 58:21
  like a Mile High mud pie. Oh my goodness.
• 58:26
  Good. Night, everybody.
• 58:30
  Yeah. 4 hours, 6 hours later and.
• 58:34
  Then they yeah, like. Wake up with a freaking mild ass
• 58:37
  headache. Yeah.
• 58:38
  Like what's wrong? Hangover.
• 58:40
  No diabetes. Diabetic hangover.
• 58:43
  Food coma. Food hangover.
• 58:46
  Food hangover for real? Leanna says.
• 58:49
  I want her meal for sure. That is a tomahawk.
• 58:53
  I've never had a tomahawk. Neither have I, that's why I.
• 58:57
  Want that? That's what I want.
• 59:01
  And if they don't have a tomahawk, I want a rib eye.
• 59:06
  OK. All right.
• 59:09
  Are you ready to start? The big What are we doing?
• 59:15
  One's got to go Disney Afternoon era.
• 59:18
  OK. This one's going to hurt the 90s
• 59:21
  kids. We're looking at some of the
• 59:22
  most iconic cartoon from the Disney Afternoon era.
• 59:24
  Shows are defined after school TV and games, unforgettable
• 59:27
  characters, theme songs and adventures.
• 59:29
  But today you can only keep four.
• 59:33
  One of these classic shows has got to go Gargoyles.
• 59:39
  Duck Tales. Dark Green Duck, Tailspin and
• 59:45
  Goof Troop. These shows were part of the
• 59:48
  golden era of weekday cartoons, the kind you rushed home from
• 59:51
  school to Schwatch. But now comes the impossible
• 59:53
  choice. One's got to go.
• 59:56
  Which one are you eliminating? Defend your answers, Victor.
• 1:00:02
  Primo. Victor.
• 1:00:03
  Damn, Really, bro? I love all of these, but I'll
• 1:00:05
  play. I'll say Goof Troop because I
• 1:00:06
  didn't watch it as much as the others.
• 1:00:08
  James says gargoyles got to go. I because I've never seen that
• 1:00:11
  one. Fernando Lau Junior says
• 1:00:14
  Tailspin can't live without the others.
• 1:00:19
  Leanna says gotta play gargoyles.
• 1:00:25
  Either way. Like I scooter because, you
• 1:00:28
  know, the only show that didn't make sense to me because of the
• 1:00:32
  movie. And right.
• 1:00:35
  Like it just and I'm like, OK, so I I said that.
• 1:00:42
  So everybody else said there's Leanna said her.
• 1:00:45
  You are going to say. Yours, I said.
• 1:00:48
  Darkwing Duck. How dare you?
• 1:00:51
  You know, disperse, you know, for me, Darkwing Duck to me was
• 1:00:56
  kind of corny. That's I said for to me, I don't
• 1:01:03
  know, just he, yeah, he was kind of corny to me.
• 1:01:08
  And so I was like, man, if I never had to watch it again, I'd
• 1:01:12
  be OK the. Audacity.
• 1:01:18
  Hey, remember I'm queen of hot cakes.
• 1:01:20
  I'm popular of the. Hot cakes.
• 1:01:23
  I love it. And like with full chest, she
• 1:01:27
  says it on the podcast. Not oh so because five of my
• 1:01:35
  favorite shows obviously, and Goof Troop has to go, but the
• 1:01:40
  other ones like you and Liana and Jane, said Gargoyles.
• 1:01:47
  No, I didn't say. Don't do, don't do.
• 1:01:50
  Yeah, It's like, goodness, Why? Why?
• 1:01:56
  Didn't Jane say because she's never seen it have it in her way
• 1:02:00
  she's. Never seen it.
• 1:02:01
  Yeah, she's seen the other ones. But the reason though, like as
• 1:02:05
  like the reason why it was unwatchable is because the OJ
• 1:02:09
  Simpson trial was on the same. Time as this, but you know, like
• 1:02:15
  I said, I just I don't know, and I watched Goof troop a little
• 1:02:22
  bit, but it wasn't like something that, you know, I had
• 1:02:26
  to watch. So I I've seen document, I mean
• 1:02:29
  I've seen all of them. Yeah.
• 1:02:32
  If you would have put, you know, Chippendale Rescue Rangers in
• 1:02:35
  there, I love that one. So that one would definitely
• 1:02:38
  have to stay. But yeah.
• 1:02:40
  It was part of the afternoon era, too.
• 1:02:42
  I don't want to put that there. Oh, because I wanted to do like
• 1:02:45
  a six. Right, like a 55 put the.
• 1:02:50
  Name of the game there And then one's got to go.
• 1:02:55
  Or I could have put it in like in the middle of the things like
• 1:02:57
  1's got to go. Which one do you?
• 1:02:58
  Want, yeah. Like Tailspin.
• 1:03:04
  And I'm looking at the guy that says tailspin.
• 1:03:06
  I'm like why? Why Tailspin?
• 1:03:08
  01 guy said I hate you, go after yourself.
• 1:03:14
  Wow. Yeah, but.
• 1:03:16
  You were just playing around. I do remember seeing that
• 1:03:20
  comment, but you had to search for it.
• 1:03:27
  Like how dare you make me choose and?
• 1:03:30
  I'm like. Yeah.
• 1:03:32
  OK. Thank you for.
• 1:03:34
  Your SO isn't that how these usually go?
• 1:03:37
  Right. Yeah.
• 1:03:38
  It's always, it's always an answer.
• 1:03:42
  You're like, oh, why do I have to choose, you know?
• 1:03:46
  Who was it to? What's her name?
• 1:03:50
  I forgot her name. Tic Tac for freedom.
• 1:03:54
  But I don't want to pick. I'm like but you have to.
• 1:03:57
  Then don't answer no. Just kidding.
• 1:03:59
  No, I was. Like no.
• 1:04:02
  I usually say that best for the kids like then don't answer.
• 1:04:06
  Yeah. Are we getting to the last one?
• 1:04:09
  Yeah, we're getting to the last one.
• 1:04:11
  All right. What's one word that you can
• 1:04:13
  never spell correctly? The one where you always pause,
• 1:04:16
  stare at the screen, just hope autocorrect saves you?
• 1:04:18
  Or maybe the word you can only spell because of a song, rhyme
• 1:04:21
  or trick you learn growing up. You know the ones.
• 1:04:24
  A little memory hack that stuck with you from school somewhere
• 1:04:27
  just refused to stick in our brains no matter how many times
• 1:04:29
  we typed them. So what's your word?
• 1:04:31
  The one you always misspell? Rely on autocorrect force
• 1:04:34
  quickly sing a little respelling song to remember.
• 1:04:38
  Red eye, red eyes, Lee says, unconsciously, in rhythm.
• 1:04:42
  OK, unconsciously. And yeah.
• 1:04:45
  Unconsciously. Unconsciously in rhythm, like,
• 1:04:51
  yeah, it's like there's too many CS and s s in here.
• 1:04:55
  Yeah. You're invited.
• 1:04:56
  Says I deliberately spell incorrectly and attempt to
• 1:04:58
  assimilate. So sometimes I have to make sure
• 1:05:00
  I'm correctly spelling incorrectly.
• 1:05:02
  OK, OK. Totally not Aiden Affiliate.
• 1:05:13
  OK. Spell that word wrong and to
• 1:05:15
  spell everyone Justice Jones accommodate.
• 1:05:21
  OK. Naive sheriff.
• 1:05:25
  Annihilate. I just had to auto correct each
• 1:05:28
  one of those words as I wrote them.
• 1:05:29
  Even after you're using them for a lifetime, some words just
• 1:05:32
  don't stick, Mama Bear says incorrectly.
• 1:05:38
  OK. Ray says esophagus, Terry says
• 1:05:45
  liaison. OK.
• 1:05:48
  It's like so hard to spell too. I thought it was just LIASON.
• 1:05:52
  No, there's another I in there like.
• 1:05:54
  Oh. Liaison.
• 1:05:56
  I was like, what? Liaison, OK.
• 1:05:59
  It's like, weird that I'll never use again in my life, but at the
• 1:06:02
  same time, oh, that's how you spell them.
• 1:06:04
  This says discrepancies. OK.
• 1:06:08
  What? Liaison.
• 1:06:12
  LIAISON Mommy's little monster Tung AKA Tung fused TOUNGE when
• 1:06:24
  it's spelled TONGUE yields universe same Wednesday I gotta.
• 1:06:32
  Say Wednesday. Wednesday.
• 1:06:34
  Wednesday Liana says anything I before E except doctor CP is not
• 1:06:39
  always true. Gur always have to sing the
• 1:06:41
  banana song. Wednesday plus many more
• 1:06:46
  bananas. BANANANA, this shit is bananas.
• 1:06:52
  You said irresistible. You have to sing a song to make
• 1:06:55
  sure it's spelled correctly. Which song is this?
• 1:06:57
  So there's a song by Montel Jordan and it's called
• 1:07:02
  Irresistible. And for some reason I always
• 1:07:07
  want to do 1R. But the song, he spells it up, I
• 1:07:14
  double RESISTIBLE. So like, OK, so every time I
• 1:07:20
  spell irresistible, I double RESISTIBLE.
• 1:07:31
  That's what I was like, OK, I'm sorry.
• 1:07:36
  That's that's like the first word.
• 1:07:38
  I'm like, yeah, I had. I really have to sing the song.
• 1:07:43
  Just the chorus, just that part where he's we got.

  Professor. Yeah, Professor is another one.
• 1:08:35
  2FS or two s s. Yeah, I've I think the correct
• 1:08:40
  way to spell it is 1F2S. Two s s So I seen.
• 1:08:45
  I watched How I Met Your Mother. And.
• 1:08:48
  He is out of class and he's like, you know, awkwardly trying
• 1:08:52
  to look at the students and then like in college and he starts
• 1:08:56
  writing the word Professor ROF. He starts doing the all the
• 1:09:03
  other F and like that. And you could see someone in the
• 1:09:06

• 1:10:39
  Was did someone do February? February.
• 1:10:42
  Me. OK.

  I couldn't remember if it was you or somebody else.
• 1:10:47
  Library in February. Library.
• 1:10:52
  Library in February. February.
• 1:10:54
  Not February, not February. Yeah, we're as someone February.
• 1:11:07
  As someone who used to be in a spelling competition in 6th
• 1:11:10
  grade, 5th grade, and I'm just like, how did I get there?
• 1:11:18
  How did I get here? And I'm just like, you know,
• 1:11:22
  like not know, not realizing that I was like, it was like,
• 1:11:27
  you know, 2 rows of kids and she's asking us to spell this.
• 1:11:34
  And I just kept getting it right, kept getting it right.
• 1:11:36
  And then I know two people and I'm just like, oh me.
• 1:11:39
  Oh shit. What?
• 1:11:41
  Lost purpose because it was like, all right, this is too
• 1:11:46
  much. This is just a game to me.
• 1:11:48
  I was like, I don't know. Yeah.
• 1:11:50
  It's like, you know, she wins. So I was like, all right, cool
• 1:11:53
  Pete out. Go, go, go have fun.
• 1:11:57
  Enjoy your enjoy your little thing.
• 1:11:59
  Yeah. Yeah, that was in fifth grade.
• 1:12:02
  I remember that so well. So yeah, those were it.
• 1:12:08
  We have another one. But you know what?
• 1:12:14
  Did your mom ever tell you that I sing on the radio or somebody?
• 1:12:17
  Was your real dad Growing up? A lot of kids heard some wild
• 1:12:21
  jokes from their parents, especially when it came to music
• 1:12:23
  playing in the radio. Suddenly every song became a
• 1:12:26
  story about how that singer was somehow your real dad.
• 1:12:29
  Is one of those classic parent jokes that made absolutely no
• 1:12:31
  sense but somehow stuck in your memory for years.
• 1:12:35
  Where there was a legendary rock star and RB singer or someone
• 1:12:37
  your parents were listening to at the time.
• 1:12:39
  And we always turn into a funny childhood moment.
• 1:12:41
  So now we want to know, did your parents ever tell you a story
• 1:12:43
  like that or joke that a famous singer celebrity was secretly
• 1:12:46
  your real parent? Drop your story in the comments.
• 1:12:50
  So again, you know, it wasn't doing well.
• 1:12:56
  And I figured like, maybe because the prompt is too long,
• 1:13:03
  people are looking at, it's like, oh, this is like, I'm not
• 1:13:06
  going to read that. That's too long.
• 1:13:09
  So no. No, you don't think so?
• 1:13:11
  I decided to promote it. You know.
• 1:13:14
  Promote it, OK, And of course we get the freaking kids in there.
• 1:13:25
  My second grade teacher told me that Michael B Jordan was her
• 1:13:27
  boyfriend for years even though she was married.
• 1:13:33
  Some of these are funny, others like you know what, Why?
• 1:13:35
  Why did you answer No, but my uncle was acquainted with the
• 1:13:39
  current Pope when they were in College in Peru back in the day.
• 1:13:42
  And my dad met Oakland the 2000 apparently.
• 1:13:47
  So my obviously mine was Julio Iglesias.
• 1:13:53
  And then like, a friend of mine busted out with the Enrique
• 1:13:56
  Iglesias CD and I told him the story of how.
• 1:14:02
  And he's not like, what I was like, yeah, for years my mom
• 1:14:04
  told me that who was my dad, and I believed her and everything.
• 1:14:10
  Ileana says her mom told her that Elvis was her father.
• 1:14:14
  Oh wow. Leanna Presley.
• 1:14:18
  Wow, I'm like, not gonna say my name, Mav says.
• 1:14:28
  That is my mom with Imagine Dragons, the lead singer from
• 1:14:31
  Imagine Dragons. OK, you wouldn't be evil
• 1:14:36
  Iglesias, right? You know everything.
• 1:14:43
  Unfortunately I never did that and my dad because I mean I
• 1:14:48
  didn't know my dad so she never. Told you that's your stepfather.
• 1:14:55
  Or like no, but no, I was. But my sisters did tell me that
• 1:15:03
  they found me in a trash can and I was the milkman.
• 1:15:09
  So. That's fucked up.
• 1:15:13
  You had a whole right. You had the whole right to
• 1:15:16
  snitch on you. Fuck all that.
• 1:15:18
  You had the right. So go for years.
• 1:15:22
  They're like, yeah, we found you in the trash can.
• 1:15:24
  Mommy and daddy found you in the trash can.
• 1:15:26
  Thanks. Because for the longest time I
• 1:15:31
  didn't resemble either parent. So I was adopted.
• 1:15:40
  So like now I'm like even I can't, you know, as I've gotten
• 1:15:48
  older, I look a little bit more like my mom, but my mom always
• 1:15:53
  said I resemble my dad's side of the family.
• 1:15:58
  So I may not look like my dad or my mom, but I look like my D DS
• 1:16:05
  on my dad's side. So I'm kind of felt like that
• 1:16:11
  and I'm like, OK, so I do, you know, but as I've gotten older,
• 1:16:20
  I look a little, you know, I look a little bit more like my
• 1:16:23
  mom. But my other sisters look either
• 1:16:26
  like my mom or my dad. And I'm just the the black
• 1:16:32
  sheep, I guess you can say. But but then everybody's like,
• 1:16:37
  oh, you guys look like you with my two older sisters.
• 1:16:40
  I'll be with them. Are you guys twins?
• 1:16:42
  No, there's six years between me and my oldest sister and then
• 1:16:48
  three years between my next oldest sister and then two years
• 1:16:53
  with my young, my youngest sister, my younger sister.
• 1:16:58
  So it's like, no, we can't be twins if there's years apart,
• 1:17:05
  but we all have the same parents so we are going to look alike
• 1:17:09
  so. OK, I looked at my like my aunt
• 1:17:14
  so much. I thought she was my real mom.
• 1:17:16
  Oh, OK. Goodness.
• 1:17:21
  OK. All right, so those were that's
• 1:17:24
  it. Like I was going to do more, but
• 1:17:28
  you know what? Yeah, we're going to.
• 1:17:34
  We're going to stop right there. The top five comfort shows you

  That's awesome. It is the 8th April 8th.
• 1:18:17
  Around this time what 2021, I was starting to get sick.
• 1:18:25
  So yeah, obviously this is the diabetic story.
• 1:18:29
  I'm just celebrating five years with diabetes on next week on
• 1:18:34
  the 14th, 1516. I don't remember when.
• 1:18:38
  I just wanted to do the story today just in case, but you
• 1:18:43
  know, since we're going to be busy next week, obviously so.
• 1:18:48
  I thought you got it later in April like the hospital was
• 1:18:55
  later in April. Later in April, I.
• 1:18:58
  Was sick. I was sick.
• 1:19:00
  I didn't know I had it. OK, OK, I see.
• 1:19:03
  But you this is about the time when you started getting sick.
• 1:19:07
  I started getting sick and around like beginning of April,
• 1:19:10
  around March, all that stuff. The reason, here's the reason
• 1:19:16
  here. Here's how we start, how we
• 1:19:18
  start this, because now we even know this.
• 1:19:22
  Obviously before a pandemic, used to work at the casino, they
• 1:19:28
  had a gym. I would go to the gym every day,
• 1:19:31
  every night and just work out for a bit and then we go home.
• 1:19:37
  And, you know, that'd be that I'd have, I'd be fine. 2020
• 1:19:41
  happened. They told me, yeah, you're going
• 1:19:46
  home. Like, OK, you're not coming
• 1:19:48
  back. All right, that's fine.
• 1:19:52
  No gym time at all. I could work out at home, but I
• 1:19:55
  didn't want to. I've like worked out for a whole
• 1:19:58
  entire year. And I felt, you know, good that
• 1:20:03
  like, I just want to stay home and just chill for a minute.
• 1:20:07
  There's nothing else to do. Let me game.
• 1:20:09
  Let me get on my gaming stuff. Just TikTok wasn't around yet
• 1:20:14
  for me until July 2020. So February to July I was just
• 1:20:22
  like fucking sitting at home while playing this game Avengers
• 1:20:28
  Kingdom Hearts 3. Like trying to go back to those
• 1:20:31
  games that I didn't play back when, when I bought them in
• 1:20:35
  2019. At the same time, I couldn't
• 1:20:40
  order, couldn't go anywhere, right?
• 1:20:41
  So I had to order in. So like, and then we got the
• 1:20:46
  mobile for Walmart and Sam and I would order like a lot of pop, a
• 1:20:54
  lot of soda, Pepsi, Diet regular Coke and Pepsi.
• 1:20:59
  And like, I would take them in like 12 packs, like at least six
• 1:21:07
  cans a day. And I just like whatever, order
• 1:21:13
  food from a restaurant, go get it, pick it up, all that stuff,
• 1:21:18
  you know, not doing, not doing a thing for an entire year and
• 1:21:21
  just freaking there and doing that.
• 1:21:23
  And then July, obviously we get this.
• 1:21:27
  So I started doing that. I started like moving around,
• 1:21:31
  not knowing, you know, I was going through stuff.
• 1:21:36
  We get to around March, February or March where I just start
• 1:21:42
  losing weight. People are recognizing that I'm
• 1:21:45
  losing weight and people are telling me, hey, you look good.
• 1:21:47
  You're looking, you look like you lost weight.
• 1:21:49
  And I'm just like how I don't want to work out or anything,
• 1:21:55
  sitting at home doing nothing. But OK.
• 1:21:57
  Thank you. I'll take the compliment, Right.
• 1:22:02
  It was around February that I started waking up in the middle
• 1:22:08
  of night, going to the bathroom, coming back, sleeping, waking up
• 1:22:11
  an hour later, going to the bathroom, coming back, sleeping,
• 1:22:14
  waking up every hour, go to the bathroom, go back to sleep.
• 1:22:20
  And I couldn't sleep right, so I stayed up daily.
• 1:22:27
  It'd be like, I'd be fine, no bathroom.
• 1:22:32
  Like, that's weird. Why am I going to the bathroom
• 1:22:34
  late at night? So again, do stuff, drink all
• 1:22:42
  that stuff, get on the same, dance a little bit, do some
• 1:22:47
  music, do some stuff out there and do some videos.
• 1:22:54
  And then February, March, I started getting sick.
• 1:23:01
  Lots of throwing up, lots of doing this, throwing up blood.
• 1:23:09
  Yeah, being sick like I, I was, I didn't know what was wrong.
• 1:23:13
  To me it was just like, OK, you know, whatever, go back to all
• 1:23:17
  those things that. Forget.
• 1:23:20
  Did you? Did you ever tell anybody how
• 1:23:23
  you were feeling? Like did you tell your mom or
• 1:23:25
  your or your brother? No.
• 1:23:27
  I didn't know because I didn't know.
• 1:23:29
  I didn't know what was wrong. No, I mean just like you know, I
• 1:23:32
  just like what's your symptoms were?
• 1:23:34
  No. OK.
• 1:23:37
  I tried looking up online, like, you know, excessive bathroom
• 1:23:41
  breaks. I'm just like drink water.
• 1:23:43
  It's like, OK, am I sick? I'm.
• 1:23:46
  Going to the bathroom. Right.
• 1:23:49
  Am I sick? Drink some 7UP maybe you'll feel
• 1:23:53
  better. No like freaking I'd get like
• 1:23:57
  these 2 liter bottles and start drinking them 7UP of coke, Pepsi
• 1:24:04
  and I'm just like why? What's wrong with me?
• 1:24:06
  What the hell? And.
• 1:24:08
  Like not feeling good. I'm always, you know, dehydrated
• 1:24:12
  and drink water, blah blah, nothing.
• 1:24:16
  And then I'm still feeling sick and I'm just like, feeling
• 1:24:19
  exhausted and tired and everything.
• 1:24:24
  Victor will tell you he's been around that that week, the final
• 1:24:29
  week where I was here in April, where like we did videos and I
• 1:24:33
  was just like, did them and then I disappeared because I was
• 1:24:38
  sick. You know, he's like worried and
• 1:24:42
  where'd you guys? Where'd you go?
• 1:24:45
  I was out, man. So April, I just took a break
• 1:24:49
  from TikTok and I was just like, alright, well, you know, I'm
• 1:24:53
  just going to game until I feel better because I don't feel
• 1:24:56
  like, you know, doing any videos at all because nobody's watching
• 1:25:00
  them blah, blah, blah. Finally the last the day of and
• 1:25:05
  like fucking again, throwing up the syrup.
• 1:25:12
  What's going on meatball the, the blood and everything.
• 1:25:16
  All right, time to go to the doctor.
• 1:25:18
  So I go to the doctor. He didn't care.
• 1:25:22
  And they do the entire thing. They take my blood.
• 1:25:30
  They take everything. Like, all right, here's the
• 1:25:33
  situation. You have diabetes.
• 1:25:37

• 1:25:39
  Just fucking tell me. Like, yeah, you're a sugar.

• 1:25:58
  means. Yeah.

  And he's just like telling me all this stuff and I'm just
• 1:26:03

• 1:26:06
  If anything, you you you should. Be dead.
• 1:26:10

• 1:26:19
  Or in a DKA diabetic coma. And I'm just like, OK, And I'm
• 1:26:26
  sitting there and he's telling me all this stuff.
• 1:26:28
  And he told me later on. I was like, yeah, I was trying
• 1:26:30
  to tell you everything that you're going through, your
• 1:26:33
  symptoms, all this stuff. And you had this look of just
• 1:26:36
  nobody was there. I'm like, what do you mean?
• 1:26:40
  Like your eyes were glazed. You were about to pass out,
• 1:26:46
  like, you know, I'm just sitting there like, huh?
• 1:26:49
  And he he and because I asked him like, like how, how was I
• 1:26:54

  When can I go home? Is it OK to go home now?
• 1:31:26
  At least this time I wasn't watching anything.
• 1:31:28
  No SpongeBob or anything. But you know, when I was over
• 1:31:31
  there and like in the in the freaking waiting room watching
• 1:31:35
  SpongeBob, I said to myself, I don't ever want this to happen
• 1:31:38
  again. I don't ever want to because I
• 1:31:41
  was like, SpongeBob is not the last thing I want to see ever in
• 1:31:44
  my life before I go. So this is this moment right
• 1:31:48
  here is the last time that's ever going to happen to me that
• 1:31:50
  I've never going to go to the hospital.
• 1:31:51
  If I ever go to the hospital against it, you get check UPS.
• 1:31:54
  Yeah, that's fine. So we get to 67 AM.
• 1:32:02
  Everything OK? You're at 400.
• 1:32:06
  Like, all right. What does that mean?
• 1:32:08
  It means that you're able to go home, you know, But at the same
• 1:32:13
  time, like, we're going to send you to a specialist.
• 1:32:17
  Like, it's all right. I have friends and family that
• 1:32:19
  are diabetic. They can tell me everything.
• 1:32:21
  No, we're going to send you to a specialist.
• 1:32:23
  Quit being stubborn son of a bitch.
• 1:32:25
  Fine. All right, so we do that.
• 1:32:31
  A priest comes in. Preacher, Preacher, preacher.
• 1:32:36
  I always get them confused. Preacher and priest.
• 1:32:39
  A preacher comes in. Yeah, it was the Saint Francis.
• 1:32:44
  So I had someone come in and tell me, you know, hey, you
• 1:32:50
  know, bless me and everything. You know what you did like?
• 1:32:53
  No, You drank a lot of syrup. That's basically what that is.
• 1:32:58
  It was a lot of syrup. You need to be careful.
• 1:33:01
  No more of that. Drink lots of water from now on.
• 1:33:04
  Lots of water. It's like, OK, so the syrup,
• 1:33:08
  like, yeah, the syrup is not good for you, Sir.
• 1:33:10
  That's what you. That's what you were doing, all
• 1:33:12
  that stuff. Your body is not meant to take
• 1:33:15
  all that in. So therefore stop doing that.
• 1:33:19
  I'm like, yes, Sir, I will. All right.
• 1:33:23
  I go home for the next week and a half.
• 1:33:31

• 1:35:36
  everything like but I can't see. We'll talk probably on voice
• 1:35:40
  message and everything. Yeah.
• 1:35:45
  So did that. So everything that was I was
• 1:35:51
  told to do, I had to do it. I had three months, April, May,
• 1:35:56
  June, July, July, basically when I next visited a doctor would
• 1:36:00
  have been like in July and around July 16th.
• 1:36:06
  So he was playing his old school stuff, but same time I told him,
• 1:36:13
  put some dance music every Thursday, put some dance music,
• 1:36:17
  let me fucking dance it out. He's like all right, cool.
• 1:36:21
  So he did that. When I tell you that I lost
• 1:36:25
  weight and that I freaking went from a 400 Halo sing to blood.
• 1:36:35
  Sugar. Blood sugar, which was around a
• 1:36:40
  15.3 to a 6.5. That was the first time.
• 1:36:48
  That was the first time. And I'm just like, when I went
• 1:36:51
  there, I wasn't expecting that fucking big ass number to
• 1:36:53
  change. And she saw like 6.5.
• 1:36:56
  Like what? Like, yeah.
• 1:36:59
  Crazy. What did you do?
• 1:37:01
  I did exactly what you said. I did this, I did this, I did
• 1:37:06
  this, I walked around, did all that stuff.
• 1:37:07
  You told me to do this. Like I didn't want to go back to
• 1:37:10
  the hospital anymore again. Yeah, it's like, Oh my goodness,
• 1:37:13
  you know, blah, blah. And tell me everything I'm doing
• 1:37:14
  right. And I did and I, if I can, did
• 1:37:16
  it and I'm like, hell yeah, it's awesome.
• 1:37:20
  Also, there were some people that had YouTube videos of time
• 1:37:25
  and telling you like, do this, I did that.
• 1:37:28
  I did tutorials, I did all that stuff and I listened and I read
• 1:37:31
  it. All right.
• 1:37:33
  Your next visit will be August, September or NN Like, OK, cool.
• 1:37:42
  Again, do the same thing. I freaking went through
• 1:37:45
  everything. And then November I went in and
• 1:37:49
  decided and they're like 5.8, 5.6 around there, 5.6.
• 1:37:58
  I'm like, what? Yeah, like because 5.4 is the
• 1:38:03
  next one in February of 20225.4. And then they're like, you did
• 1:38:08
  awesome, you did amazing, blah blah.
• 1:38:10
  Yeah. And like 5.6 I was just like,
• 1:38:15
  oh, sure. You know, I was like, yeah,
• 1:38:16
  that's great, good job. Congratulations.
• 1:38:21
  OK, what to do next November happening December, I got to
• 1:38:28
  continue doing this, but same times like all right, depression
• 1:38:31
  is hitting me is back. What am I going to do?
• 1:38:36
  Hey, let me read this book about podcasting, something I should
• 1:38:42
  have done in 2020, but no, let me read this book about
• 1:38:45
  podcasting because why not? And I did.
• 1:38:50
  And I was just like, oh, I could talk about diabetes.
• 1:38:54
  I could talk about wrestling, wrestling with diabetes, hey
• 1:38:59
  wrestling and diabetes wrestlers that have diabetes, all that
• 1:39:02
  stuff. But then it just became
• 1:39:04
  wrestling. Like alright, let me do an
• 1:39:07
  episode on December. No, I forgot all about it.
• 1:39:11
  Alright, January episode, it happened, but I couldn't because
• 1:39:17
  something copyright infringement on one song.
• 1:39:21
  I thought I could use songs, the whole song, copyright.
• 1:39:24
  I was like, oh, son of a fish, fine, all right, whatever.
• 1:39:28
  First episode came out in January 16th or something like
• 1:39:31
  that around there, but I disappeared again.
• 1:39:37
  Everybody didn't notice where I was.
• 1:39:40
  No, I went and did this stuff. I wanted to do something new.
• 1:39:44
  I wanted to do a podcast. I wanted to talk about stuff and
• 1:39:46
  I did and I wanted some order in my life.
• 1:39:50
  Wanted to relax for a moment and then, you know, did all that
• 1:39:54
  stuff. And then once I came back, I was
• 1:39:56
  just like, hey, I'm kind of back.
• 1:40:00
  I have this podcast. You guys are interested.
• 1:40:02
  I don't know if you guys like wrestling.
• 1:40:05
  No. OK, let me go talk to the
• 1:40:07
  wrestling people you like. Everybody else, All my friends,
• 1:40:10
  all my actual friends, all those supporters.
• 1:40:13
  Yeah, great. And so that's how it all
• 1:40:18
  started. But yeah, it's because of.
• 1:40:22
  My diabetes that I wanted to talk about it.
• 1:40:24
  And then when it actually happened at 5.4, I was so
• 1:40:29
  excited. I got on here and I told
• 1:40:31
  everybody was like, yeah, I got a 5.4, blah, blah.
• 1:40:33
  You know, that was in 2022. Fast forward to now, it's like
• 1:40:39
  it's been up and down, up and down, up and down.
• 1:40:42
  COVID happened to me, obviously. And then like freaking hungry
• 1:40:49
  drank, like even looking at coke, like drinking it, I'd have
• 1:40:54
  to be like a little bit of it 'cause I will go into like, oh
• 1:40:58
  shit, I gotta go to the bathroom every 5 minutes I've.
• 1:41:01
  Done. I've, I've actually like tested
• 1:41:04
  out, drank like a bottle of Coke halfway through.
• 1:41:07
  And then I was like, I sat around for a while and then I
• 1:41:10
  was like, oh, fucking hell, I'm going to sleep.
• 1:41:12
  Wake up in the middle of the night, go to the bathroom.
• 1:41:14
  Oh, come on. Are you serious?
• 1:41:16
  No, that sucks. So you have to get the little
• 1:41:19
  cans if you're going to get little cans.
• 1:41:22
  Or no cans at all. Coke.
• 1:41:23
  Or yeah. Drink diet or water and sea
• 1:41:28
  forest that's. What I've been doing this?
• 1:41:29
  Time. But yeah, that's about it.
• 1:41:35
  That's the story we're at that an hour and 43 minutes.
• 1:41:39
  Yay. I love that.
• 1:41:41
  And like I know I told the Story 3 different times and I'm
• 1:41:46
  supposed to drink this. I don't know why I didn't drink
• 1:41:48
  it. Yeah, yeah, drink your water.
• 1:41:54
  I told this Story 3 different times, not like 3 different
• 1:41:57
  times, right, but three different parts.
• 1:42:00
  So, you know, this is that one episode where it's only one time
• 1:42:08
  that you get to tell it and it's condensed in like what, 20
• 1:42:13
  minutes episode in a 20 minute span.
• 1:42:17
  OK, thank you. Proud of you too.
• 1:42:19
  Thank you for being proud of me. So yeah.
• 1:42:29
  And it's been, it's been freaking awesome.
• 1:42:33
  Like I gone up and down. It's fine, I get it.
• 1:42:38
  But I'll always be at the 5.6 mark. 5.96.1 it's fine, like
• 1:42:43
  I've gone up again to 8.9 last year.
• 1:42:49
  You did. Yeah.
• 1:42:50
  Oh OK, 2023-2024 because of COVID, because I was hungry
• 1:42:57
  again, because I. Wanted right?
• 1:43:00
  Right. And you know that trip I did go
• 1:43:04
  and when I came back on the road back I was just like oh shit, I
• 1:43:07
  gotta go to the bathroom again. I gotta go to the bathroom.
• 1:43:08
  I gotta go to the bathroom again so that that was never fun
• 1:43:13
  'cause you have to bathroom if you don't go, you're going right
• 1:43:16
  there. So it sucks to have that moment
• 1:43:20
  there. Like I said, the bad stuff is
• 1:43:22
  that the good stuff is you get to eat good.
• 1:43:31
  And then like this past year been fine.
• 1:43:33
  Like you know, I've we went from 8 to A7 to now a six.
• 1:43:40
  So, you know, like even the year when I was going out and doing
• 1:43:45
  walks around the park and everything, that was that was
• 1:43:47
  good. We're we're going to do more of
• 1:43:49
  that around here. And that was one of my favorite
• 1:43:54
  times because I want to do more of that.
• 1:43:57
  And yeah, think that's about it. We did it.
• 1:44:05
  We're. Doing we're doing stuff so happy
• 1:44:08
  five year anniversary to that. Yeah.
• 1:44:11
  Because five years is a lot like I don't just celebrate.
• 1:44:17
  I don't celebrate it because it's, you know, my birthday.
• 1:44:21
  I celebrate it because I went into a diabetes and it's more
• 1:44:30
  like, you know, a second life, a second time chance.
• 1:44:34
  To me, it's more like a second chance, like, you know, I get to
• 1:44:39
  do this now I get to talk about it, I get to bring awareness to
• 1:44:43
  it. So not only, you know, happy,
• 1:44:46
  it's diabetes awareness month. It's also autism Americanness
• 1:44:50
  month, according to some people. So we're we're doing that
• 1:44:57
  happily blue month for both of us.
• 1:45:03
  And thank you for the confetti. Yay.
• 1:45:08
  I love it. I love it.
• 1:45:11
  Yeah. So that's fun.
• 1:45:14
  And that $2000 ambulance trip was fun as well.
• 1:45:22
  Hopefully like someone will look listen to this and be like, you
• 1:45:25
  know, hey, I want to do this exactly the same thing you did.
• 1:45:31
  And like the three episodes that I posted about the diabetes
• 1:45:35
  stuff was Part 1 was prior what happened, what I did the year
• 1:45:41
  before Part 2, whatever was happening that whole freaking
• 1:45:45
  month that was going through stuff.
• 1:45:48
  And then Part 3, because Part 3 was like what, six months later
• 1:45:55
  wrestling with diabetes. That Part 3 episode was, you
• 1:45:58
  know, what I did to maintain that 6.5 and who I talked to and
• 1:46:04
  all that stuff. And then there's a part 4 where
• 1:46:08
  it's not even wrestling with diabetes, it's more like
• 1:46:10
  wrestling with my mental health. And you know, 'cause it was, it
• 1:46:16
  was bad at the time and I was going through stuff and I
• 1:46:19
  decided it's a podcast. So yeah, fun episode.

  wrestling. And so by the time my first
• 1:50:23
  episode came along, we were talking about what had happened
• 1:50:27
  two years ago, you know what I mean?
• 1:50:30
  So trying to remember everything that happened, you know, when I
• 1:50:36
  went to that. Yeah.
• 1:50:38
  So I was like, and I felt like, you know, I just kept like, I
• 1:50:43
  didn't know what I was doing. So.
• 1:50:46
  But you know, I will say you made it easy for.
• 1:50:50
  Me. To be fair, I didn't know what I
• 1:50:51
  was doing either. Yeah.
• 1:50:52
  Because it was. Well, you had it.
• 1:50:55
  Was around, you know, it was, it's nerve wracking trying to
• 1:51:00
  interview people. Yeah.
• 1:51:02
  Now it's not. Now it's just like it feels like
• 1:51:05
  we're just having conversations and we're.
• 1:51:07
  Just, you know, yeah. But now, but back then it was
• 1:51:12
  you, it was Christine 'cause she was the first interview back, or
• 1:51:19
  I think it was you, one of you guys were the first interview
• 1:51:22
  back, Michael Kashina, who I was trying to get on the podcast and
• 1:51:30
  she was for a while. So it was like, yeah, a group of
• 1:51:37
  people like yeah, but at the same time like learning about
• 1:51:44
  you guys, you know, like getting to know you guys cuz Christine
• 1:51:48
  was for Comic Con, OK. And then I was like, you know
• 1:51:52
  what we're talking. We talk about wrestling on the
• 1:51:54
  top. If so, might as well talk about
• 1:51:56
  it like who were your? Favorite wrestler growing up?
• 1:51:58
  Yeah. And then you as well.
• 1:52:02
  So it was just. Like, and it was funny because
• 1:52:04
  we had, you know, you were like, you know, what do you want to do
• 1:52:07
  now? You know, And it was when we did
• 1:52:10
  it, I had had some free time because I was working out of
• 1:52:14
  state. So I was working in another
• 1:52:17
  state for the for the company, and I was like, you know what,
• 1:52:22
  let's just do it now. You know, let's just do it.
• 1:52:25
  So I was like, OK, I was excited and I was nervous, but now it's
• 1:52:33
  just like you're like, hey, do you want to do episode?
• 1:52:36
  Yeah, no problem. Let's just do it.
• 1:52:40
  Imagine if we got that episode and we reposted it with the AI
• 1:52:46
  and your that can like, you know, work its magic and make
• 1:52:51
  into a better, you know, sounding episode.
• 1:52:54
  Because when we did our episode, it was on the phone.
• 1:52:57
  It was. Yeah.
• 1:52:59
  What was it called Anchor? Yeah, it was on anchor.
• 1:53:02
  Yeah, it. Was on anchor and it was just
• 1:53:06
  like me talking to you and me holding the phone.
• 1:53:10
  Yeah, yeah. Like that and I'm just like so.
• 1:53:12
  Yeah, it wasn't this, you know, we didn't see face to face and
• 1:53:17
  see. Each other and you heard what
• 1:53:21
  did you hear like stuff in the background noise?
• 1:53:24
  So I heard just like a little bit, but it wasn't like anything
• 1:53:32
  like I didn't hear, you know, things that were going on
• 1:53:36
  outside. I think it was your clock.
• 1:53:40
  Oh no. I know where I was at the time
• 1:53:42
  it. Was OK.
• 1:53:44
  No, it wasn't my clock at the. Time.
• 1:53:45
  No, it wasn't OK. No.
• 1:53:47
  It was the the heater. Because back to the.
• 1:53:50
  Yeah, son of a bitch. All right.
• 1:53:55
  The clock was thankfully the the hotel room I was in, you know,
• 1:53:59
  nothing was going on. You know, you couldn't hear
• 1:54:01
  anything next door or anything. It was just complete silence.
• 1:54:05
  So for my part, it was perfect because it was dead silence.
• 1:54:11
  Yeah. I should save that and see if I
• 1:54:15
  can clean it up a bit and see what happens, see if it sounds
• 1:54:17
  better with that. OK, that also means I'd have to
• 1:54:23
  take out the music if I have any any there.
• 1:54:26
  And I think I do. I I think you do, yeah.
• 1:54:30
  So yeah, we'll do that. Then I'll see what I can do with
• 1:54:33
  that. No, because your episode was one
• 1:54:38
  of those like moment where like I get to interview and I had
• 1:54:46
  just met you through person. Sure.
• 1:54:50
  And like, you know, because I interviewed Christine and then
• 1:54:57
  you and then I was like, I might interview him, but Nah, not
• 1:55:01
  really. And I wanted to, but it is like
• 1:55:05
  it just came, became like, you know what, I have no time for
• 1:55:09
  that because I have to do this and this and this and this.
• 1:55:14
  Oh, it was around August or September.
• 1:55:16
  OK. And I was leaving again, and I
• 1:55:23
  was going to Tumblr and like, that was one of my favorite
• 1:55:28
  things to do because people came in there and like, heard the
• 1:55:32
  episode and they're like, oh, you have a podcast?
• 1:55:34
  Mm hmm. Great.
• 1:55:35
  What's it about wrestling? And I got that whole group of
• 1:55:40
  people that loved wrestling and talked about wrestling and.
• 1:55:43
  Wanted to hang out? There and I got to interview
• 1:55:45
  people from there as well so and you were there it's like
• 1:55:49
  obviously, and then that's why I'm like you want to do
• 1:55:52
  predictions yeah let's do it like all right we did
• 1:55:57
  predictions and so we did 50 episodes of predictions well 45
• 1:56:01
  episodes predictions because now you're doing this other stuff
• 1:56:04
  with. Me, yeah.
• 1:56:05
  So you're staying around like better.
• 1:56:09
  So yeah, how how you, how do you feel?
• 1:56:16
  Like, did you ever think you would ever do this?
• 1:56:19
  No, I really didn't think I would do more than just the one
• 1:56:24
  episode. And then when you asked me to do
• 1:56:30
  predictions, I was like, OK. And then I just thought it was,
• 1:56:34
  oh, maybe, maybe just a handful of yeah.
• 1:56:39
  Because I know you had said when we first started doing it that
• 1:56:43
  you only wanted to do like the big ones, you know, like the big
• 1:56:47
  four. That sounds like OK, so so like
• 1:56:51
  the BIG4, which means we would do 1 and, you know, like 1 the
• 1:56:57
  beginning of the year, you know, middle of the year, summer slam,
• 1:57:03
  summer slam and then Survivor Series.
• 1:57:05
  So the summer to, you know, SummerSlam to Survivor Series
• 1:57:10
  was a big chunk of time, you know, where we weren't, you
• 1:57:14
  know, that I wouldn't do any episodes.
• 1:57:15
  So I was like, OK, I could do, you know, 4 episodes a year.
• 1:57:20
  That's no problem. And then it's just, I think me
• 1:57:26
  and you just clicked that we're like, let's do something, you
• 1:57:31
  know, let's do more, you know, let's do every PLE or you know.
• 1:57:36
  So it's just, it just became kind of natural and it was fun,
• 1:57:43
  you know, to talk about something and but you.
• 1:57:49
  Yeah, yeah. But also, you kind of kept me,
• 1:57:54
  you know, if we're going to do it, I have to watch the show.
• 1:57:57
  So I can't just be like, oh, yeah, I can watch it later.
• 1:58:01
  If we were doing it on a certain day, I had to make sure that I
• 1:58:06
  watched it, whether it was that same day, you know, just kind of
• 1:58:12
  cram it in, or if I watched, you know, Raw on Monday and
• 1:58:17
  Smackdown on Friday. So I was like, well, you have to
• 1:58:21
  keep me accountable so. Yeah, because.
• 1:58:25
  But you know what? It's.
• 1:58:26
  Like we don't watch him at the at the exact time.
• 1:58:29
  No. Because we don't watch it live.
• 1:58:30
  We watch it the repeat. And then when, like, I guess I
• 1:58:33
  gotta watch it. Yeah.
• 1:58:35
  And there was a point around that time when Vince was running
• 1:58:38
  stuff. Yeah.
• 1:58:39
  And it was like this freaking ridiculous.
• 1:58:41
  Yeah, when you're watching this. So I think, you know, watching
• 1:58:46
  it now is a lot more fun. You know, some of the things are
• 1:58:53
  kind of repetitive. But I will say this WrestleMania
• 1:58:58
  season I think I'm the most excited for because I mean,
• 1:59:03
  starting from Royal Rumble to now, it's been like what the
• 1:59:09
  hype is supposed to be. You know they are hyping it up
• 1:59:13
  like we expect. You know, we're getting.
• 1:59:18
  An actual card now. Yes, which we put high one.
• 1:59:23
  Yeah, they put it out. So I took space shots 8 and.
• 1:59:29
  There's actually eight matches instead of just 4.
• 1:59:32
  There's thirteen matches 088. And eight and one day 8 and.
• 1:59:37
  The other one, yeah, yeah. So it's.
• 1:59:40
  So it's 7 on Saturday, it's 6:00 on Sunday.
• 1:59:44
  But because we're still a week away, they could always add a
• 1:59:48
  7th, 1:00 to of course, to Sunday.
• 1:59:53
  But they put out because you can watch the first hour of each day
• 2:00:00
  on TV. So they're like, so they're like
• 2:00:04
  this, this, this and this. These two are going to be on the
• 2:00:07
  first hour and these two are going to be on the 1st hour on
• 2:00:10
  Sunday. So I'm like, OK.
• 2:00:13
  Yeah, I love. That it was like.
• 2:00:16
  Back to the old days when it was like free pee per view, Free the
• 2:00:21
  freebie, the free for all. Yeah, yeah, the free show kind
• 2:00:25
  of thing, Yeah, but it's actually, you actually get to
• 2:00:29
  see WrestleMania the first hour on TV.
• 2:00:33
  So like, I mean, I'm going to watch it on ESPN the app, so
• 2:00:38
  yeah. But yeah.
• 2:00:40
  But I'm like, you know, for the first time, I'm like, I'm
• 2:00:45
  actually really excited. And I hope that these matches
• 2:00:51
  are, you know, living up to the hype because, you know, they,
• 2:00:58
  the way that they're setting them up.
• 2:01:01
  Yeah, this is going to be an exciting two days.
• 2:01:03
  Yeah, of course. And I'm here for it.
• 2:01:07
  We all are. Hell yeah.
• 2:01:08
  Let's do that. All right?
• 2:01:12
  Are you ready to go? Yes.
• 2:01:16
  We did a 2 hour episode. Imagine that.
• 2:01:20
  Imagine that. Name of WrestleMania I.
• 2:01:24
  Know. WrestleMania is going to be a
• 2:01:28
  lot longer. Trust.
• 2:01:30
  You ready for WrestleMania weekend?
• 2:01:32
  Let's do that next week. Predictions for WrestleMania.
• 2:01:38
  Can't wait. Looks like it's our, it's our,
• 2:01:41
  it's our Super Bowl. It's our.
• 2:01:43
  World Series. It's our NBA.
• 2:01:48
  A championship. Championship.
• 2:01:50
  It's our championship game, it's our championship, you know, all
• 2:01:55
  that stuff. All right.
• 2:01:57
  And just like that, another night on the porch here at my
• 2:02:00
  third place comes to a close. Tonight was one of those
• 2:02:02
  episodes. We we just left the
• 2:02:04
  conversation. Go wherever I wanted to go.
• 2:02:06
  And honestly, those are usually the best ones.
• 2:02:09
  Shout out to Menace for once again sitting in the rocking
• 2:02:11
  chair and holding it down while we work our way through birthday
• 2:02:14
  month here on the show. We kicked things off with
• 2:02:17
  tonight's pod that questions about the ultimate birthday
• 2:02:19
  dinner lineup. And judging by some of the
• 2:02:21
  answers coming in from the community, people did not hold
• 2:02:23
  back. I didn't hold back.
• 2:02:24
  Of course. We're talking full course,
• 2:02:27
  happiness experiences, appetizers stacked up, main
• 2:02:29
  course that would put you straight into a food coma like
• 2:02:31
  it did to me, and desserts that make the whole meal worth it.
• 2:02:35
  That's the food coma. Some of those answers definitely
• 2:02:38
  sound like a birthday dinner you remember for a long time.
• 2:02:40
  We also got into the always dangerous conversations with top
• 2:02:43
  five comedians. We just expected turning to one
• 2:02:45
  of those debates where everybody has a different Mount Rushmore.
• 2:02:49
  And the comments sections are already starting to show people
• 2:02:52
  have very strong opinions about who belongs on that list.
• 2:02:55
  Drewski, apparently. One thing that's been really
• 2:02:59
  cool to see lately is how older prompt from past episodes are
• 2:03:01
  still getting loved these days. People jumping in the comments
• 2:03:04
  section answering questions we asked a week ago, maybe a month
• 2:03:08
  ago. Sometimes you know, longer.
• 2:03:11
  That's one of the smallest things that reminds us the
• 2:03:13
  conversation will stop when the episode ends.
• 2:03:14
  They just keep going in the community outside the podcast.
• 2:03:18
  I talked a little bit with keeping me busy lately, diving
• 2:03:21
  into the book of Dungeon Crawler Carl, which has been a pretty
• 2:03:23
  wild ride so far. Shout out to Princess Donut and
• 2:03:30
  working on a DIY project, building custom marble, rival
• 2:03:33
  cars for a binder, cutting images, printing characters,
• 2:03:35
  putting together a master collection just to keep the
• 2:03:37
  creative brain moving. Sometimes those little projects
• 2:03:40
  are the perfect way to unplug for a bit.
• 2:03:43
  Tonight was a little bit of a milestone episode because we
• 2:03:45
  took a moment to look at the podcast analytics and see what
• 2:03:48
  the show has been reaching people lately.
• 2:03:52
  And obviously, five year anniversary of diabetes, your
• 2:03:55
  50th episode, our episode 38286. We're almost there.
• 2:04:02
  We're almost at 300. We're almost there.
• 2:04:08
  It's always a little surreal saying just how far this port
• 2:04:10
  just traveled. Different cities, different
• 2:04:12
  states, sometimes even different parts of the world.
• 2:04:14
  For something that started as just a couple of conversations,
• 2:04:17
  that's pretty incredible. And of course, we left a little
• 2:04:20
  room for whatever news the world decided to drop at the last
• 2:04:22
  minute, because the Internet always finds a way to surprise
• 2:04:24
  us with something unexpected. All right, before we head out
• 2:04:28
  tonight, take a second and breathe with me.
• 2:04:33
  Life moves fast, the Internet moves even faster, but this
• 2:04:37
  little corner of the world, this porch, is still a place where we
• 2:04:39
  slow down, share stories, and laugh about the things that made
• 2:04:43
  us who we are. Thank you for hanging out with
• 2:04:45
  us in my third place. Not home, not work, Just a place
• 2:04:50
  where nostalgia, creativity, and community all pull up a chair
• 2:04:52
  together. Take care of yourself, take care
• 2:04:56
  of each other, and we'll see you next time.
• 2:04:59
  Right back here on the porch, menace.
• 2:05:03
  Do you want to do another song? Another.
• 2:05:08
  Song No, that's not tonight. No, next week.
• 2:05:13
  Irresistible. Come on.
• 2:05:14
  Sing Irresistible. IRRES.
• 2:05:21
  I double RESISTIBLE. There you go.
• 2:05:26
  Bananas. BANANANANA.
• 2:05:32
  Nas. NASNAN yes, this is bananas.
• 2:05:39
  Yeah. All right, liaison over here.
• 2:05:46
  Yeah. All right, let's say goodnight.
• 2:05:51
  Have a great night, everybody. Enjoy everybody for commenting
• 2:05:56
  in the comments. Appreciate you guys.
