Then Saturday, like when I got up, went to breakfast, like went around, we went to Best Buy and Jody wanted to look at a couple of things. I'm going to be put to work when I go down there in a couple of weeks. Because she's going to buy a couple of things for the house, which I don't mind.
Speaker: Uh, and then just kind of hung out, but then we, uh, there's, uh, back home for me back home where I grew up at in the area. There was, uh, they're back on the day. There used to be a Pittsburgh plate glass factory. They made glass. It wasn't just plate is just the name of it, but it was a historical area and Ariel, another big manufacturing company that's basically.
Speaker: built Mount Vernon because you know jobs and money and all that they bought that they bought that 250 acre spot where this factory was and turn it into a park and there's still.
Speaker: You say ruins of the old city the old the old factory and and like they took Steel like the eye beams and stuff like that when they when they tore down certain parts and made like all these art stuff Throughout the park and everything like that They just went out there for a couple hours walked around enjoyed the park went around. They got a big lake out there or a pond whatever you want to call it and
Speaker: Just enjoyed each other's company, chit -chatted, sat on the swings for a little bit. It was nice. You don't got to do all the crazy shit. You don't got to go out and party and all that stuff. Sometimes it's just about enjoying each other's company. Something just got shut out agreed. Just got to shut out. So it was a fantastic weekend. So.
Speaker: It doesn't happen very often, but I bugged out of the show early. Like I said, here in a couple of weeks, when I go back down there Saturday and try to do the show a little bit early, you know, instead of eight, well, not a little bit early, but really early on Saturday because we have plans that evening. So, um, can I just don't trust you two to run a whole show yet?
Speaker: I gave you guys an hour. Yeah, I gave you guys I gave you guys an hour and this guy wants to go go hate to hate on Whitey for an hour. You know what? I actually found a decent clip and I'm going to bring it up earlier. That's why I did play it. No, it was it's I know it was it was it was like I found something decent that could kind of break it down. Yeah, no, it's it's it again.
Speaker: Don't take the words literally, but it's a cool kind of interesting backstory. As long as you can avoid the conversation that comes with it, just look at the story and how crazy it was.
Speaker: because sometimes that conversation that comes with it can have a tendency to get a little bit heated these days. Yeah, one thing I was going to do, like, you know, throw your little facts here, throw my little facts there. Of course, they're just going to have facts on any and everything. So I ain't mad at them. But like I said, I wanted to find, there's about a couple more problems I would run. I am messing with Coach Apu and them about Lake Mead was sending and everything they're finding in me.
Speaker: Well, you know, there's any of these lakes. Hell, look, you know, look at look at what they're finding. Not that anybody's surprised, but, you know, even like the Hudson River and the rivers in New York or whatever, they're starting to go down a little bit. Look at some of the shit that they're finding in there, man. Everybody.
Speaker: I mean, that's like a lot of those, you know, like we did that, that story, I, you know, um, uh, about that was a dreamland park over in New York.
Speaker: you know, the one that the one that the one that had the one that had the ties to the mafia and **** like that. You know, obviously, there's those two bodies were found but you know, there was other bodies that was found in those woods when they started clearing **** and just like some areas, Chicago, New York, Cleveland, you know, that have ties to the mafia and Bob and stuff like that. Youngstown, Ohio, you should just
Speaker: you know, controversy. Well, just avoid building. Don't don't don't add any new condos or housing developments. Leave some of those areas alone because you never know what you're going to what you're going to unearth. I saw a couple of days. I'm scared to worry about it. Don't fall so good with this new one. I'm trying to do it. Well, you're freaked out by the by my ghost friend back there. He says hi, by the way. Yo, what up?
Speaker: You and your ghost. Hey man, that polar guy shit was crazy. Highly possible too. It's based on true events. So they say. Most. Yeah. There's a, there's a new movie that I seen last night that I'm going to, I think I might check out in tomorrow, maybe tonight. I don't know about a guy who was falsely accused of murder.
Speaker: and like the 50s or whatever out in Texas and they executed him. But he wrote this letter basically that was cursed and then after they executed all the people that were involved in his trial and getting him put in jail and executed just started having accidents. And basically it looked pretty cool. It's kind of a
Speaker: uh thriller suspense type movie uh basically you know they gotta clear his name if you want to survive type bullshit so a man i got the patience it ain't worth the money sometimes with some of these jokers in the way they act today but as far as like haunted movies and all that credence yeah i don't burn your browns you gotta start bigger with some blueprints because hey better get a chance to go to the wall let's take that tour
Speaker: Believe me, I want to it's New Orleans is on my bucket list twice. I would like to go to Mardi Gras and I want to do the, and I want to do like the tours. Yeah. When I do the airboat, I'm done. I've been there for Mardi Gras twice. I've been there for vacation. When I need an airboat wrap, I'm done.
Speaker: The Wallace has a lot of history, very rich history, but if you have a typical, you will understand what in the hell is going on down in there. Tim Conrad, what's good? My man, Tim. What's going on, Tim? Yeah, now I want to go down there for like the history and the haunted history and the hoodoo and the voodoo and the black magic and all that business, which is, I want to do, I want to, I want to get in on all that. It's a good tour. I think it's called the Gray Life or the Blue Wine Tour. Definitely. I would highly recommend it to any and everybody going down there. I hope it's awesome.
Speaker: you're going to drink, you're going to eat. I can only drink so much. But I was walking half an alcohol off anyway. And Marty and Mardi Gras? You ain't seen him. I would like to, yeah, I would like to go to Mardi Gras. It's always been something I've wanted to do. If I don't ever get to go, you know, it won't be one of those things that I'll ever regret. But if I get the opportunity, I'm jumping all over it. You better believe that. You don't eat crowds. Don't go to Mardi Gras. How well are mine crowds? But I mean... Good.
Speaker: but bro, dude, you're going to talk about a crowd. Trust me. I used to work downtown Charleston with them. Goddamn cruise ships would unload and you'd get 30 ,000 people coming off a goddamn cruise ship and piling into market. I've never been to Charleston port. He's that big for real. Oh yeah. They got carnival, Disney, uh, and one other cruise line that that stops probably princess virgin or Viking.
Speaker: Yeah, Disney real crew. Maybe I think it might have been Royal Caribbean and carnival. But in like the downtown Charleston area, especially Market Street, where the cruise ship docks or whatever you want to call it, is right at the end of March or the entrance of Market Street. Market's only like a road, maybe a road and a half wide. And they've got the buildings that you walk through, all the vendors and everything in there. But when they come off the boat,
Speaker: right in the market. Well, yeah. And it's just like, ah, damn. I want to show you the video if you want to see it. We got down there all in boats that popped up. Some of them boats hold 6 ,000 folks and there were five of them. I don't know exactly what you're saying. People were mad at it at first when Charleston became a
Speaker: a cruise port city or whatever you want to call it. I've never been on a cruise. I don't know all the right terminology when they got it. They were not happy.
Speaker: but after that first hip lift, they change their mind real quick and in a hurry because all Market Street is is local vendors. It's not like it's all outdoors. It's not like you got Nike in there or Adidas or Gucci or anything. They got stores up on King Street or whatever, but Market's all local vendors. Everything's handmade or food that's homemade or like the Southern style seasoning and Gucci and shit like that.
Speaker: So, yeah, at first they were mad because of the influx of people. But then when they got to see their pockets start swelling, they changed their mind real quick and in a hurry. Exactly.
Speaker: I hated it because I was trying to do work now there. And I got 9 million fucking people that show up out of nowhere, all in my way and everything else. One asked me 900 million questions. I'm like, that's what they're going to do. That's what they're going to do. I'm just an orchid guy. Leave me alone. You want to show them what it looked like? I got the clip pulled up. Yeah, here we go. Just added the stream here real quick. Now, for those of you that have never been to Nassau or Bahamas, here's an example of what some of it looks like.
Speaker: Just for the record, this is our boat. We've got the folks that was out here. It's pretty serious, man. They got a lot of people out here. CLN is over there in the background. I'm just going to give it a shot. Going back to the side. We did come here, man. We came back. Beautiful hotel. Full service, man. Thanks a lot. Better get back on the boat now. It was cool. It was fun. I come back. It's a big game boat.
Speaker: Damn. That was we had small boat held about 2500 people. So five other boats came in and held like 6000 people somewhat. And you're right with 30 ,000 people coming once you are not lying. Yeah, it's insane. And your Charleston's port wasn't set up. It was only set up for one boat at a time. So one boat would come in
Speaker: And then there'd be another one that would come in, especially, you know, the first couple of years it wasn't too bad because it was still new and it wasn't getting a lot of action. But after probably the second year or whatever, you'd get two, three, four boats, one right after another. And then you see the cruise boats kind of drift off in the distance for a little bit until they circle back around and come back to pick everybody up. But man alive, it was like, it was like,
Speaker: like like you ever watch one of the Bible movies and they talk about the the infestation of locust and you see the whole that's what it looked like. It's just like as I just send it upon Charles. Charles. I'm quite sure about the city. That was I think that was 2014 when I did that video. Mm. About eight years ago. No, I've never been on a cruise that I I fully intend on hopefully one day Jody and I going on a cruise together.
Speaker: but I think that'll be I think that'll be awesome. I think I don't know which one will be close to the North from the Charleston. I want to say no. Oh, yeah, it's hard to say. I mean, if I got to say I'm going down to Florida if I have to. Everybody goes to Miami. Now, Miami is crazy. Oh, and just so you know, I saw somebody talk about it today. They said when you go to the when you took at your flight, go early because the TSA lines are crazy. Oh, yeah. He says even even with like the
Speaker: What is that? That? Yeah. Appreciate it. That's a long two. Oh, yes, sir. Because everybody getting it. So, it don't matter. Everybody's trying to get out and about, man. Well, they're about there to go get expressed one. It's look like 2012 and dude said, I'm a billionaire. I got a green card. He said, they all got green cards. Get to the back of the line. Take your ass to the end of the line, you son of a bitch. Yeah, you used to be special. Now, welcome to your crowd.
Speaker: I don't know. Well, I don't think uh I think I got another year or so before I gotta worry about flying. I don't know. It's hard to say. understood. It's hard to say. I say that but I could be wrong. Whenever whatever uh Jody says, get on the plane, bitch. I'm getting on the plane again. I'm coming. I'm coming.
Speaker: Okay, here I come. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way. I'm on my way.
Speaker: She works, she works at Journeys, the shoe store. Oh yeah, it can't be slow. Tell her which is who she is and comes back. They'll be there. Well, you know, it's her first day. So she's just, she's doing computer stuff and onboarding and learning everything. So, you know, she probably wasn't out on the floor much. Yeah. Both Jodi and I had, Austin started her job today and Jodi's voice started his job yesterday.
Speaker: good. The kids are working. Mm hmm. Now, just gotta convince Austin to pay my bills. Wow. I've taken care of you for almost 18 years. Now, you can take care of me. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. No, I'm just kidding. Her money is her money. I gotta get her set up with a checking account. All that jazz. I told her. You go to work.
Speaker: I don't know. I'm good. No, I told her I should, you know, save, save money for your car. Make sure once you get a car, you've got money for your car payment, your, your insurance and your cell phone bill because that's going to be your whole check already. You got to learn, man. You got to learn. It's going to be your whole check already. Mind you, when you charge your rent, we just told you to pay your own stuff. Well, you know, and I, and I know, and I'm not, I'm not, I told her I'd help her get a car, but she ain't getting anything brand new. I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker: Listen, there's a there's a little while she'll be paying for it off of her journey paycheck. That's for sure. No, she's down the road down the road. But you know, there's a little buy here pay here place around the corner from me.
Speaker: And they got some nice cars and they got a, they've been there for years and they've got their own mechanic shop. So, you know, they, they run their cars through everything to make sure they're, they're good cars. It even get one for five, $600 now. And then you pay a weekly payment 60, 70 bucks a week or whatever. So it's not going to break her, but it teaches her how to pay her bills and budget her money, her money properly. And like I told her kids, you know, it's crazy for it is when they get a job and they get their money.
Speaker: When they start thinking about what they want to do and what it takes to get where they want to be it, it makes them more responsible. Oh, yeah. As long as they got it in their head that they want to do it and they try to figure it out, you did your job. Biggest thing, you did your job. I try to set my bills up and learn everything. It ain't about hanging out after a while. When you want to hang out and have spending money, then you got to find a better job.
Speaker: I just, as, as we've talked about on the show before, I just don't want to end up like I did because then nobody ever teach me any of that stuff. Like my truck, I paid cash for. Um, you know, I didn't know when I moved out, man, I didn't know about electric and water bill and, and.
Speaker: I knew. I knew. Well, I knew about him but I ain't never paid him before. So, it was just like ranting all that **** It's just kind of, it kind of slapped me in the face that the first couple months, I was like, oh **** I done spent all my money though. So, kick the wrist. You always playing out where you stay at.
Speaker: based on your income, you got to see your check at first. That's why I always tell the kids, stay in the house before you start working. So you see each other, it's like a taxes. You can start playing the bills. And then you got mortgage, you know, you got election, you got water, you know, you got gas for some people. You want cable, you want a cell phone. You're already broke. You're already fucking broke. And that's at $15 an hour. Let me go ahead and tell y 'all right now. Most of your problems are at least a brand. Decent. What you want to get broken into. And then the suburbs get broken into. So this is what you're going to go through.
Speaker: Go to school, get a career, stay at the pan, how long it's possible. I'm telling you now, don't be a headache. When you make money, you got to spend the money, start to say who's left today and give them some money to help the bills. They'll buy your parents dinner. They'll be happy. Give them gas. They'll be happy. They worried about the bills. Really? Do you want me to show your ass safe? Yeah. But yeah, I told her, I hope you get a car. You can make your car payments. I'll add you on my cell phone service and you're only going to pay what you're
Speaker: what your line costs. You're not going to pay half the bill or anything like that. I'm not going to do that to you. If it adds an extra $40 on my, on my service, that's what you're going to pay. And the same thing with my insurance, whatever extra is caught or, um, the extra is to add you. That's what you're going to cover because it's your end. So you're going to have to learn how to budget your money and all that stuff.
Speaker: and they turn it so they got to get down. I went through there. My boy, he got his car off trying to put on my policy. This ain't no. They should be. You should be able to keep him for a certain amount of time after they, especially if they're still in school. They wouldn't let me do it with me. They didn't do it. I have to check with progressive because I think that there was a thing that said I could have. Which I think I could have her on there until she's like 19 or 20 or something like that. But I mean, you can always add them onto your insurance.
Speaker: as a driver. What's the return of the bill? It's the same thing if you're married and you and your wife have an insurance policy together. You just add drivers. We've always been able to do that. I mean, shit, I always sell my parents insurance. I mean, I got my own when I turned 18, but I mean, I know a lot of people who stay with their parents because it's cheaper. Yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker: Yeah. You just get on their policy. They're added on as a, as a driver and then you add their vehicles. So that's all you're essentially doing. You're not adding, uh, uh, you know, once they become an adult, they're no longer a teenage driver. Now they're, now they're. Well, once I parked there too, until they told me, once they turned into a dollar 18, did they own? I was like, okay. I told him, we set it up. I said, just put it under me. Just this simple. But those are just the relations.
Speaker: Yeah, I think they can always be on your insurance. It's just a matter of discounted rates and stuff like that. Yeah. Like I said, chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken. I ain't worried about it. She turns 18. She can get her own insurance. Yeah, I'm sure. So, you know, when I went to her, she'll probably want to have her own anyway.
Speaker: Yeah, have all our own stuff. So she ain't got to listen to my ass. Independent mindset. She did your job. Independent mindset provides stability and all that other good stuff. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking, Tim. Yeah. Yeah. That's the smartest thing to do. You get your own policy. What about what I'm going to do is better go fix it up. Y 'all groan, man. Stay at work.
Speaker: You want to know why at home, you thought I was going, you know, I had to pay for your ass. Speaking of insurance and shit like that, I just filled all that paperwork out today for my for work. Yeah, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but I did. I was looking at it and reading the paperwork and shit like that. And damn kids can stay on my insurance until they're like 26. Your health insurance?
Speaker: Yeah, my medical and dental revision and shit. Yeah, until they're like 26. I was like, damn. My stepdaughter, she graduated. She's 22, 23. And I verified that with her. She said when she gets on the feet, she don't come off her mind and get on. Okay, cool. My oldest gets stable. That's what he's going to do. You know, but like I said, I told him, get on your feet first. I ain't worried because I've been paying for them. Yeah, you're right, man.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. You've already been paying it. So, I mean, at the end of the day, when they come, when they do finally come off of it, you might save a little bit of money, but I mean, I don't know what your insurance is like, but my insurance is... Damn, really? Don't you have a state job or something like that? Federal. But what I did was, I got blue coffee and shit. It's one of the best things I've always heard of. Even when my VA benefits started kicking in, I'm covered. I want to make sure that they work.
Speaker: And then I covered, well, you reach a certain percentage. And I wanted to make sure that coverage is going to be more immediate instead of a delay in the paperwork, depending on what goes on, what was wrong with them. I just wanted to say, if I caught myself playing, it's safe. But if it's for their health, I don't care. No, exactly. It's for their health. So I did do that. And there was, even with me going through the divorce now, she's going to have to get her own stuff and all that other craziness.
Speaker: Absolutely 100%. Now that's been my thing. I mean, I've only really been worried about the kids. There's some, you know, there's some stuff that I want to do medically, but I've also want to wait until I'm in a little bit better position. Economic before. Well, there's just things that I want to take care of for myself, but. That I need to get done.
Speaker: Honestly do it. Click as much as you can. They go to everybody out there. We get to work, start building. Don't worry about balling out for three years. That's the advice I'll give you. I gotta start taking care of myself. So I think Jody wants me around for a little while. So I gotta make sure I'm around.
Speaker: She's a damn sick. At least somebody wants me around. God damn it. Speaking of uh speaking of Jody and you fuckers. We're listening. The uh discussion that we had about the Daisy Dukes and the cowboy boots and uh and all that. Yeah, I didn't think she was really down for it.
Speaker: She is. Damn. She is. We talked about that Saturday as we were walking. I was like, yeah, I mean, I really do it. I don't care. She's like, I was like, I got it. You were not going to know what she said. No, no, she said, no, there at her house. So she could get a picture of me dressed like that. I said, I'll do it. I'll do it. You better be prepared jokes for these.
Speaker: you better be prepared. I'm going to be sexy. I'm going to have a crop top shirt and everything. You're going to look ridiculous. Yeah, I'm going to look sexy. We were we was talking about that. We was talking about that Saturday and I was and she was like, she she brought it up and I was like, I didn't think you were really serious about it. She's like, man, if you do it, I'll say, yeah, I'll do it. I don't care. I mean, I'll
Speaker: Oh my god. Career suicide. I've done a lot work. I don't think it's career suicide. And if it is and if it is, Tony, if it is career suicide and anybody has a problem with it, I have this
Speaker: Oh, I come across that today on Tiktok. I said, that's going to be a become a new podcast staple. This should have been done. I said, we're going to put that in the, we're going to put that in rotation and it's just going to randomly pop up from now on. If the haters start coming around, we're going to play it for them.
Speaker: That shit had me dying. I was laughing so damn hard. I instantly, I emailed him. Within you and Jeff, they had that Eddie Murphy clip from Eddie Murphy's role. I think it might have been. Jody said, Jody said, yes, that was funny. I really do like it.
Speaker: Yeah, I I I I come across that today. I'm tick tock and I said, nope. I emailed that right to the email. They're not physical nonsense whole podcast at gmail .com and upload uploaded it while I was making a shirt. Hey, Deb. Debbie. Deb, who is this good guy you speak of? I only know Glitch. I think that's the first time she got it right. It don't bother me none.
Speaker: She's getting ready before Debbie's on. Debbie supports. Debbie follows. She does. Debbie curses out with us. Debbie's on. Yeah. No, she does. Unlike some people. Don't do it. I'm here for you. Don't do it.
Speaker: I was like, you was on Smoke Show last night. I was like, I'm just saying. Smoke's like, where do we find you at, Todie? I said, this motherfucker ain't going to do it. You're like, yeah, I'm at Twitter and get vocal and air time and get at me and your mom's a dirty whore dot com. Yeah. So and I'm like,
Speaker: Say it. No mention of the podcast. Everybody on Facebook knows I'm going to deal with you. Everybody on my Facebook. I was like, shut up. I was like, oh, my god. And I didn't even get my final broadcast at the mayor. I didn't have the show yet. But you know, I rushed that broadcast because I pretty much took off my crown.
Speaker: release my title. If they want me bad, let me know. A couple of people said, you got to come back. I said, y 'all let me know. Y 'all let me know. But I did do some clips if you haven't caught it. I did, it's on Twitch, it's on my Facebook. Now that I know how to save videos on Twitter, I had help with that. But I was trying to shout everybody out. And I did shout you out on that one, too. When I replayed the film, I heard from it. That's career suicide, associating yourself with me. However, as we all know,
Speaker: the the the
Speaker: Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream. About me. About you. About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests. About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts. Maybe below the cockles. Maybe in the sub -cockle area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the colon. We don't know.
Speaker: I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job. I'm your average white suburbanite slob. I like football and porno and books about war. I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor. My wife and my job, my kids in my car, my feet on my table, and a Cuban cigar.
Speaker: But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested. Oh, no. No way. Uh -uh. No, I've got to go out and have fun at someone else's expense. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah I drive really slow in the ultra -fast lane While people behind me are going insane I use public toilets and I piss off
Speaker: I'm going to, I'm going to cut that down and shorten it into a smaller clip. I'm an asshole. I'm going to stand up. I'm dying. Dennis Leary is one of the most, I think he's kind of forgotten as far as standups go because dude, well, he, he became, he, he kind of started taking acting a little bit serious. He was on that, um,
Speaker: How's that show called rescue me or something like that? That show was insane. I'm gonna cut that down. I'm gonna cut that down into a nice little, a nice little condensed clip just where I'm an asshole. Classic. That is classic, classic, classic. I remember that. That was hilarious when you did it. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then plays the implants in front of their wife's face. Disrespect. Disrespect.
Speaker: I like Dennis Leary. I like to not give a fuck attitude. He gets old, but he calls out a lot of things. If you ever see him in that movie, Judgment Night, he was classic. Yeah. He was good in Juneau. I think Emilio Estevez. Outstanding. We never made it to theaters, but that was a damn good movie. That was an awesome movie.
Speaker: Yeah, like I said, you know, he he kind of walked away from doing stand -up comedy and got a little bit more serious with the acting. But that damn rescue me show was it was something else. It was it was it was pretty damn intense. It was deep. I like I like the premise behind it. And then he still had a chance to be himself even though he would just see me.
Speaker: He's not allowed on here on Mondays. Come on now. His wife's back home. We know the truth. He'll say, man, I'll work it. I'll work it. The only guy I know that is a salary based salary based paid employee that I willingly work 16 hours a day.
Speaker: Bonuses. Yes. Bonuses. And bonuses ain't that that ain't that much. Well, it takes a while to get bonuses. I got bonuses when I worked at Orkin. Shit. After 10 hours, I was looking for an exit at the end of my day. And the whole reason I never bitched about working 70 plus hours a week was because even though we were salary based, we still got overtime.
Speaker: Yes. You live in a good life compared to most people in the United States. You got benefits and money. We were a salary. We got overtime. It was a weird math equation that they pulled out of their ass, but it was still overtime paid. Plus I got commission off my route. I got damn nice commission. All I had to do was do my route. That was the thing. All I had to do was do my route and I made my commission off of it.
Speaker: Oh, speaking of routes, is anybody out there looking for a job, shipped with the UPS in your area, to pay and drive a $30 an hour? No, the question is, is anybody willing to work? Because there's a lot of people out there that need jobs. There's none of them are willing to work. Nobody wants to work anymore. They don't care. They don't want to work. $30 ,000 an hour. You need to call. Go get it.
Speaker: and damn they're right. Everything off on your test because you go to any company in your area and that's going to tell you that they're short -handed like a motherfucker. It's true. It's true. We got a we got a landscaping company up here that does basically the entire the uh
Speaker: almost like the area. I'm I'm I'm I'm stroking out like the entire area where I work in New Albany. They've done it for years. They've done it for you. They're **** rock stars in the area. Absolute rock stars. But now stuff's getting pushed back. They can't get to **** stuff's getting behind on grass and whatnot. They're short staffed and they're paying people good. Giving you $2500 sign on bonus. Medical, dental,
Speaker: No, nobody wants to work. Fucking Panda Express down the road for me is starting out at $17 an hour. They close early a couple times a week because they don't have the staff to keep the restaurant open for their full hours. They're full time hours. Nobody wants to work, man. There's jobs for days. All these paying people $19 an hour. And they're basically hiring you off the street. I know Bookies here is paying $15, $17 an hour, but they work in the hell of it.
Speaker: Well, right now they have to because they don't have any staff and unfortunately the people that are willing to work are picking up the sign. Yeah, it's a very huge gas station. Yeah, very huge and they stay busy. I haven't saw folks that will close the other day, which shocked me. Yeah, because they don't have staff, man. It's wild. My Speedway that I used to go to, they're open 24 seven. There was a time.
Speaker: during winter that they were closing at 11 o 'clock and opening at six o 'clock in the morning because they didn't have staff to work. Nobody wanted to work. There's jobs. There's a reason for a lot of them. Maybe they don't treat the employees right. Maybe the consequences cost more than your check, which is the fast food industry from what I remember.
Speaker: Yeah, but I mean, but every area, you know, you know, unfortunately you have to work, you know, you don't have to, but, and everybody's job sucks to a certain degree. But there's no excuse for literally every store, gas station, restaurant, oil change place, tire place, landscaping company, bank,
Speaker: You know, doctor's office, you know, you go into and they are dying because they have nobody to work. Nobody wants to work. Nobody wants to work. Why do I got to work? The government will give me money to sit at home on my ass. That's doing that's open with. You still got welfare. Yeah, but that isn't enough.
Speaker: I've been on food stamps. You get the welfare, you get the welfare, you get all the other perks and bennies that come with it, you know, assistance on your rent, your bills, you know, everything else. Yeah, you know, at the end of the day, you know, you're not making money, the money that you would make if you go get a fucking job, but they're making sure that you're not getting kicked out of your house or anything else.
Speaker: No, but you can't move either. That's the problem with welfare. You ain't got no money to make any moves. Just sit still. And unfortunately people have become just fine with that. That is getting old. Just sitting there knowing that I've been there? No. If I spend a weekend sitting in my house, if I spend a weekend just sitting in my house, I get bored. Yeah, because you're a busybody.
Speaker: I'm a homebody, but I also, you know, I get cabin fever real quick. I, you know, if Jody and I are together, I'm perfectly happy and content just hanging out in the apartment or in the apartment or at her house all day long. Of course. But at the same time, you know, we also, the weather's nice. You know, that's what I said. I told, I asked her before she came up, I said, Hey, you, uh, you like going to like parks or whatever? She's like, yeah. I said, okay, cool. I got one. We can go Saturday and, you know, kind of go chill out and hang out. And that's what we did, you know, but we're not to go like,
Speaker: fairs or anything like that. Just get out of the house. Nice. I'm gonna be a firefighter man. Them firefighters. I've heard about firefighters catching up for years. I heard about that too. A lot of y 'all ain't happy. Fire stations have been hurting for help for a long time. Yeah. It's a good career field, but it gets old to a lot of guys I've heard. I was gonna do it.
Speaker: I don't want to leave my area for the training. I did it for a minute. I volunteered at my local fire department when I was younger. I thought I was going to become a fireman, but I took other opportunities that I took other opportunities that, you know, they always say, if you know, then if you know, then what you know now, would you have done it differently? Hell the fuck yes. I would have done things differently. I would, you know, like,
Speaker: Yeah, my ass would have been in Charleston when I was 18. That's for damn sure like I planned. But like I said, if I'd known then what I know now, I would have had to make a special trip to Ohio just Cincinnati area a whole hell of a lot sooner.
Speaker: there you go. So, say both of us a whole lot of a whole hell of a lot of heartache and bullshit. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Let me go back and talk to 16 year old me. I mean, I've thought about that more than once. What would I tell the young me to say from some of the headaches that I went through?
Speaker: Hey bro, listen when you turn 18, go ahead and just do it all with TC. Don't worry about nothing else. Don't do it. You're going to enjoy some consequences out there you can't afford. I told told me hey go and start saving money the next two years when you turn 18. Take your ass on down to Charleston on your way down stopping Cincinnati.
Speaker: Yeah. There's a pretty ass girl down there. Trust me. It'll be worth it. It'll be worth it for both of you. Stop. Hit her up. Stick around. This is Eddie for a couple months if you have to. Take her to Charleston with you. Take her to Charleston with you. Shut up. I'm trying to get him situated.
Speaker: You know, I'm still ready for tomorrow. I got a chance of going early. So I gotta make sure I wake up. Well, that's the hardest part. Getting up's hurting me. I can go to bed. But getting up hurts. A lot of them were like, you were lying too much. I said, I was online last year doing the same thing. This ain't nothing. Something's different. Something's different.
Speaker: I have no problem getting up now. I'm usually up before my alarm goes off, but then I just lay there. You got a little motivation in life, that's why. No, that's very true, too. That's very true. Yes. Love you too, little man. Want to say hi? Want to say hi? Hi. Hey, yo. What's up, buddy? In a minute. I'm going to let you watch it in a minute. Finish your food.
Speaker: I'm going to charge it up. Okay. Check the bedroom. Tablets always dying. No, he's he's he's he's he plays a little dancing game with the arrows and stuff. He wears it out but he's getting older. He used to get so he couldn't figure it out. So, you gotta practice. Yeah. You're not going to be. Yeah. All all three of the kids got tab. I hardly ever see the kids on the tablets anymore. Girls are always on their damn cell phones. Cash don't even bring his
Speaker: And he's usually, if they're here, that boy's outside all day long. Most of the day, playing with his friends, they'll get out there. They'll be out there for a few hours. They'll get high. He'll come in for half hour, 45 minutes, go to his room, play with his toys, throw YouTube on, on his TV in his room or whatever. Once he cools down, gets himself some water or whatever, then he's right back out the door for another few more hours. Yeah.
Speaker: And every evening, it's the same damn argument. The sky is still light just because the lights are on. It's still light. And I'm like, you know the rules. The lights are on. Get your butt inside. But it's not dark yet. I'm like, well, you don't see what I got. Got the flash over there. Yeah. What's the kid's name? Dash. One of the Incredibles.
Speaker: You're trying to be. You're trying to be. What is that? Naruto. Naruto. Naruto. What is that? Young Flash's name? Kid Flash. That was kid Flash. Wait a minute. Damn. I looked up. I looked up Young Flash or whatever.
Speaker: And the kid who played a role as young Barry Allen on the CW series? Yes. He died in April of 2020 of a drug overdose. Like when they would when they would flash back. Yeah, holy shit. How long have you what? While I'm at work. Study you staying in the house, give you something to do and people to play with, OK?
Speaker: Wally, Wally West. That's who I was thinking of. I don't know anything about Naruto. The enemy I wasn't a big fan of mainly because of animation.
Speaker: ever since then, Dragon Ball Z change and I caught it like that. Could the animation change along those lines? I haven't been the biggest fan. So, it's not necessarily me but everybody enjoyed it. Enjoy it. I know. I just I just know that you get the goofy ass guys on TikToks that do that that run with their arms behind their behind their back or whatever. I guess that's
Speaker: You seen Randy on airtime, but you can't find his name. Maybe because he's one of your contacts. So he may not be on the app. Your contacts will be there, but they may not be on the app. That's probably what you did. Oh, smoke was on a roll last night in part two of his internet friends. I was like, get him, get him.
Speaker: I listened to that. I caught a couple minutes of it before. I know. I know what we did and I didn't. Yeah. The second part boy. He went he he went in. I was like, god, get him. Get him. That **** I listen to it. It worked today. I I caught the first couple minutes before I laid down and went to bed. Uh that I that I went to bed and I I listened to the rest of it while I was at work
Speaker: Smoke had me dying today. The whole time. I was like, why is Tony put up with this silly shit? This disrespect. I did with everybody. I did with everybody. I did with everybody. I deal with everybody. I just enjoy listening. I'm on the outside looking in. I know how they are. I deal with everybody. And Debbie, I did send a message to Randy last night because he was live on Twitch and I, um,
Speaker: asked him if he was doing better. I kind of drifted off when I sent the message, but he was up there. He was doing okay. Cause you know, remember Randy Horton? Yeah. He tested positive for COVID, not too long ago. Oh shit. Yeah. And he got all the shots, but he also traveling all over Asia. So that dude was moving. Yeah. He's going to be everywhere. He's probably going to pop up on you. But he looks like he's doing okay now. He looks like he's doing okay.

You can do an hour. Should give you that past. And I will. Yeah, definitely Wednesday. I might take a real quick little breaky break and then.

Once a month, my VFW meeting. So I got it. I can handle this shit. I'm a, I'm a truly trained professional. I don't think you can. I can. You, Tony, I say,
Speaker: Thank you. Yeah, we fucked up. Well, I'll save my skit for later. I'll catch up with you, man. Appreciate you. Alright, man. Good luck. No worries. Much luck, brother. Alright. And now I'm left to my own devices. This is the part of the show where we talk bad about Tony and Jeff because they're not here and they can't defend themselves.
Speaker: So air your grievances. Feel free to apply to take their place. No, I'm just kidding. I enjoyed doing the show with these, with those two guys. They drive me crazy. I ain't gonna lie. They drive me absolutely insane from time to time, but I have fun doing the show with them. But, um, I said, maybe we'll take a, let me see. I think I, I think I got some, oh, I got some music. Maybe take a real quick little breaky poo.
Speaker: typically we don't take breaks on Mondays but maybe we will and then uh oh god I'm breaking everything uh I had a top ten that I was gonna do Wednesday but maybe I'll do it tonight Tim you actually I don't know if you're still listening but Tim you inspired this top ten so I was thinking about doing videos with it um but
Speaker: That would be a lot of work. We'll just have to try to reminisce and go down memory lane. Go down memory lane a little bit with it. Because as if I don't already have enough out of my plate with this podcast. I was actually making a shirt for the merch store today and I'm gonna make another one when we get done here tonight or when I get done here tonight. There's another one I wanna get thrown together and get up there.
Speaker: So but with that being said, let's take a real quick little break. What do I got here in the music selection? Doo -doo -doo -doo -doo Blacktop mojo, where's it at? Well blacktop mojo prodigal son So give me about I don't know about four minutes or so Then we'll come back and kind of hang out shoot shit. I'd run through this top ten. Ah

Speaker: Cause I ain't coming back I'm making on my own Let me walk my own path And don't worry about me I've got everything
Speaker: Climb the mountain to see the sky Across the stars on the other side One of these days I won't be around I'll rip my roots up from the ground With wings above the streetway
Speaker: Love fly towards the sun Until they melt from my back And don't tell me There's nothing left to find There's nothing more than this
Speaker: What are these days I won't be around? I'll fit my wounds up from this crowd With wings up in the stringing waves I'll fly towards the sun
Speaker: From the ground We wake up in the stream waves I'll fly towards the sun until it rains
Speaker: Yeah, buddy. Little blacktop mojo in your ear hole. How you like that? Love that fucking song. Welcome back to nonsensical nonsense, everybody. Hopefully you enjoyed the first hour. I know it's not your typical Monday. You just stuck with me.

Speaker: The one job Jeff has, he hasn't done this week. So, but you can also email us if you want to do birthday shout outs or happy anniversaries or, you know, tell your boss he sucks and you quit, whatever the case may be. It's all good. We can shout it out. Or if you got fun and interesting stories that you want to share with us and you don't mind us reading on the podcast, we can do all that.
Speaker: just by getting them emails. Nice Tim. Well, I got a top 10 inspired by you that I was going to save for Wednesday and I was thinking about putting in a little bit of time and effort and downloading the videos for each one of these and then I got looking into it and I realized that it was going to be a lot of work and let's face it. I'm lazy. Um actually I say that but
Speaker: It's still kind of a really good idea. So let's pull a Peyton Manning. Put that on hold. Maybe Saturday I can have it all. All. Done up and and and. Ready to go. Now that I'm thinking about it, see this what happens a lot of times I.
Speaker: I think one thing, and then I get to talking about it and I completely changed my mind. So what happens when you got 900 things running around in this little dome? Well, not really little, but this big -ass dome, all at the same time. Temperatures are soaring. That means your electric bill is going to be soaring. Oof. We can do this.
Speaker: We can get into this though. We can get into this. This is going to be a multi parter, I believe. So, but I think it's going to be funny. So shame on Jeff and Tony for missing this one. This is another top 10 that I looked up that I had, uh, had stored. So I say we go ahead and jump into it.
Speaker: and Tim, your top ten inspired list. Maybe Saturday, we'll get to it. Where's my sounder? Where's my music, Jeez? It's my top ten because it's my show and I do everything and I have a microphone. So, here's my fucking top ten. Yeah. You stupid freaks. You know, that's just like uh your opinion, man.
Speaker: I don't know why Jeff put the hole. It's your opinion man. Cuz it's not my opinion. I didn't make this shit up We have This is one of the supersized top tens I've heard people talk about it. I know you guys like the supersized additions. You like them big I Just make myself laugh you'll have to excuse me But is the top 50 dumbest things
Speaker: Ever said in the courtroom some of these are long some of these are short Story of my life usually on the short end but Well, I mean if you can Tim send me a DM and email or I don't know if I have you on Facebook I Can gladly bring you up actually send me or you I have your email. What am I what am I talking about?
Speaker: Nevermind Yeah, actually let's uh, hey, hold on a second now, hold on a second now Enjoy the dead air Excuse me, there's not that air
Speaker: How do I get to this? Don't mind me, I'm just over here. I'm just over here breaking everything. No, but I didn't know Tony was leaving early or leaving either.
Speaker: So that was kind of a surprise to me as well. Otherwise I would have planned more accordingly. But here we go. Everything, you know, sometimes sometimes you just gotta, well, I just, uh, I just sent you an email. So if you get home and you're able to join, jump in. But in the meantime, let's go ahead and jump into the top 50 things.
Speaker: Top 50 dumbest things ever said in a courtroom. And starting out at number 50, this came from a lawyer questioning, I don't know, a witness or a bad guy or something. I don't know either way. But a lawyer says, so you were gone until you returned.
Speaker: Kind of pointing out the obvious. That might've been one of Amber Heard's lawyers. I know, low fruit, low hanging fruit. Really? Johnny Depp, Amber Heard joke? Yeah, I said it. Judge me as you will. Judge me as you will. I'm not used to doing this shit by myself. I've done it in the past, but now it's a little bit different. Company number 49, lawyer to a witness.
Speaker: Do you drink when you're on duty? Witness states, I don't drink when I'm on duty unless I come on duty drunk. I'm assuming maybe questioning a firefighter, EMT, police officer, somebody like that. I don't know, maybe a doctor or a nurse.
Speaker: I've had construction jobs in the past where I didn't never, I never, okay. That's a lie. I didn't drink on the job because sometimes we'd go to lunch. We'd go to a wing place and we'd have a couple of beers, but there was plenty of times I showed up. I'm still drunk for work. A little bit different situation for me because people's lives are on the line when it comes to me, I'm just building a house or.
Speaker: I don't have a trench in a field or some **** but uh come to number forty uh forty -eight attorney to witness. Is your appearance here this morning? To a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney. The witness states, no, this is how I dress when I go to work. I think he really understood the
Speaker: I love dumb people. Dumb people make me smile at the end of the day. They're my favorite type of people on the planet. Especially the ones that don't know they're dumb. Number 47. This is a back and forth between a lawyer and an officer. Lawyer asks, can you check your radar unit frequently? The officer responds, yes I do.
Speaker: a lawyer Then ask and was your radar unit functioning correctly at the time you had the plate up on the radar To which the officer responded yes, it was malfunctioning correctly Baby I don't know if you're still listening to this or not, but Could I add your two cents
Speaker: I think that was a words are hard moment for the police officer. He know what he meant to say. It just came out wrong. That's the reason he needs the nonsensical nonsense podcast. Do I smell toast t -shirt? He might've had a stroke moment. Who knows? I mean,
Speaker: I make myself laugh way too much these days. And yeah, I 100 % agree. It's definitely a big mistake because somebody got out on that ticket. Somebody got a pass on their ticket right there, I would imagine.
Speaker: I don't know. I've never really been one to contest a ticket because it's just so much easier to just pay it. Even if I was in the right or in the wrong, it don't matter. At the end of the day, it's just easier to pay it. You know, they're not always that. I just seen it. Sorry, there's a little bit of a delay with the comments, but, um,
Speaker: Yeah. So of course it could be like me and the only tickets that you collect like their baseball cards or seatbelt tickets back in the day. Now I haven't had a moving violation since I was 16. That's why I lost my license has a tendency to happen for speeding tickets and a failure to control when you decide to drive your car off of a right off a cliff.
Speaker: Fun times, my friends, fun times. I wouldn't recommend driving your car off a cliff anytime soon, but you have nothing better to do. Just buckle up. Gotta lost my license, but since then, nothing. No speeding tickets, nothing. I don't see belts. Like I said, non moving violations.
Speaker: those those were a hobby when I first moved to Charleston because in Charleston that is a I don't know what it's called. Is it a I'm speaking out of turn a primary offense or pull over a bowl offense or I don't know. I just made that up. I don't even think that's in the I don't even think that's in the catalog solo. Yeah, the second half. Maybe again you can correct me. Pull over a ball fence.
Speaker: You've created a pullover ball offense. We do. We do. But uh, number 46, a lawyer, you don't know what it was and you didn't know what it looked like, but you can describe it. Sounds like we got ourselves a liar. Secondary offense. Oh, gotcha. Moving violation.
Speaker: Okay, so I think I was partially right the secondary first is it a first I don't know primary Just don't do it drive like you got since It's a great thing about Your girlfriend being a police officer. I can make myself look like a jackass business She's right there to correct me and go no dummy. This is what it's called. I
Speaker: And then I can say I was wrong. And then I don't look like so much of a jackass at the end of the day. But number 45, a back and forth between a lawyer and a witness. Lawyer asks, did you blow your horn or anything? And the witness states, after the accident, lawyer then ask before the accident,
Speaker: The witness then responded with, sure, I played for 10 years. I even went to school for it. That ladies and gentlemen is what we call a smart ass witness on the stand that knew that the lawyer was an idiot.
Speaker: And number 44 again, lawyer to witness back and forth. The lawyer says officer was an officer. I don't know why it says, uh, uh, officer, what led you to believe that the defendant was under the influence because he was argumentary and he couldn't pronunciate his words.
Speaker: Kinda. Is that being? I worked as a bouncer just because you can't pronunciate your words. Doesn't mean you're not argumentative. Wait a minute. I'm not an English major. Is argumentary a word? Is that a real word? Or was this guy making up words on the stand? I'm confused.
Speaker: I'm confused by this one. I'm not the smartest guy on the planet. I had to think that one through because I was going to say argumentative, even though they couldn't pronunciate their words, but they still want to argue. Somebody help me out. Don't leave me stranded. Or watch me suffer. Enjoy it. Now I'm thinking about it. Now I'm not going to be able to stop thinking about it. I'm going to have to Google that later. We're going to Google that right now.
Speaker: Is argumentary a word? I'm not seeing anything. I just fucking confused the hell out of my Google. Well, there you have it. I don't think it is. Problem solved. Number 43. Another back and forth between a witness and a lawyer. Lawyer asks Mr. Slattery.
Speaker: You went on a rather elaborate honeymoon, didn't you? Witness states, I went to Europe, sir. And the lawyer says, and you took your new wife? It's kind of what the honeymoon is, right? I know some people wait, but generally it's like right after the wedding, you go on your honeymoon. Ooh. Ah.
Speaker: Oh, shout out to David Letterman for you. I think it was. I'm a little slow. Like I said, I'm not an English major by no means maybe but uh sounds like a word I that that I would use like I use here regardless and I get yelled at for saying that all the time. Apparently, it's not a real word. Oh, I hit it is.
Speaker: Number 42. Lawyer, ask the question, do you have any children or anything of that kind?
Speaker: This isn't as easy it looks folks, okay? Usually I get a reaction, real time reaction, all right? Bear with me. I'm trying to do the best I can. We're still trying to, we're still, still trying to, I say weird and I'm the only one here. Still trying to give you an entertaining show here. I got 40 more minutes to fill. I'm not going to fill it all with this. You'll find something else to talk about. I don't know.
Speaker: Coming in at number 41. Lawyer, could you tell us what was the lawyer back and forth between a lawyer and a witness? Lawyer asked, can you tell us what was stolen from your house? The witness says there was a rifle that belonged to my father that was stolen from the hall closet. The lawyer asked, can you identify the rifle?
Speaker: witnesses, yes, there was something written on the side of it. The lawyer proceeds to ask him what was written on the side of it and the witness exclaims or proclaims or whatever. I don't know. Again, words are not a strong point. Is that toast? Winchester.
Speaker: Oh my goodness. I give up. The stupid people have won. Lawyer, number 40. A lawyer getting ready to ask a question to the witness. It says in parentheses, realizing he was on the verge of asking a stupid question. The attorney or lawyer, whatever you want to call him,
Speaker: then proceeded to before the question was even asked, your honor, I'd like to strike the next question. Go ahead and get rid of that. Get it going. Get it out of here. We're just going to do a couple more of these. I like these. These are fun. I'm a simple, I'm a simple minded individual. Leave me alone. Don't judge me. I feel like you guys are judging me.
Speaker: Number 39 on the 50 dumbest things ever said in the courtroom. Back and forth between a witness and a lawyer. Lawyer asked, could you see him from where you were standing? Witnesses, I could see his head. Lawyer then asking, where was his head? And the witness responded, just above his shoulders. Obviously, fucking check.
Speaker: This one, this one, you guys can kind of see the setup coming a mile away but I'm going to come to number thirty -eight between attorney and witness. What is your birth? What is your date of birth? The attorney asks witness responds July 18th. The attorney then asks what year? Obviously, every year. I'm not making this **** up, folks. This is this is legit.
Speaker: I'm just saying. Governor number 37, lawyer to witness and what did he do? And what did he do then? The witness says he came home and the next morning he was dead. Lawyer then asked, so when he woke up the next morning, he was dead. I think we all know where that's going.
Speaker: at the end of the day. I've never been to court. I've never been in court. I've seen some court shows. I've watched some court television shows and some reality, some not reality based and stuff like that. But I feel like not all of these questions are their fault because you are in the moment.
Speaker: And you're trying to obviously, you know, at the end of the day, whether you're prosecutor or defender or whatever, at the end of the day, you're just trying to get to the truth. You're trying to get justice or, you know, whatever. So you're kind of at the spur of the moment. And I would imagine most lawyers are only having a few lawyers as friends and, and, and.
Speaker: talking to them, obviously non court related stuff, even in their day to day life, they're normally thinking four or five steps ahead. Um, I don't think all this stuff is necessarily, I dunno, I'm just trying to stick up for stupid people here at this point, but they're all dumb. I take back everything I just said. I was just trying to break stuff down, but I take it all back.
Speaker: Company number 36, a lawyer ask a witness, were you alone or by your? Oh Jesus, were you alone or by yourself? That seems like a legitimate question. Doesn't seem anything wrong with that. Mr. Tim, how you doing, sir? Good, how are you? We have a surprise guest co -host. He's coming in to save me. I'm just floundering around with this with this top 10 here playing around.
Speaker: But ladies and gentlemen, you may know Mr. Tim Conrad from The Chatter's Box. He's got a lot to say most of the time. But you may not know that he has his own show on YouTube and Twitch, correct? That's correct. Yeah, we're on Twitch primarily. We started out on HAPS, as most of us know. But back when they did the switch over in November,
Speaker: we bailed out then and we uh went over to twitch and we uh solely focused there and then after uh 24 hours because twitch has a clause once you become an affiliate and you can monetize and stuff you have to uh wait 24 hours and then you can post out so then I upload everything to youtube a day later so there you go but you guys can find them at uh you know the mental health hour correct that's right I'll
Speaker: actually like that. Yeah, it's a Twitch, but that's private chat. Where am I at here? Very, very good show. I think I can, can I throw it up there? Well, ain't nobody gonna be able to see it, but yeah. Actually, you know what I can do? I can do this. Well, I do appreciate you popping in here. And if I would have known that, and it's no fault of Tony's.
Speaker: If I'd have known, we could have we could have planned ahead accordingly. Yeah. Let me get back on to Twitch here and I can comment but I've I've seen a I've seen a few episodes of the show. A very good show. I mean, it's one of those. There you go. Put that right up there on the screen.
Speaker: mental health has, uh, become kind of a stigma, uh, you know, and to have people like, like you and Gemma who openly speak about it and talk about it and stuff like that, much like my, uh, started our top 10 that I was just doing there. Sounds like them, some of them sons of bitches might, might be a little off in the rocker. Nobody's home. I got into it. Um,
Speaker: basically because I am a recovering alcoholic. I have been sober for two years and I went to an inpatient rehab center two years ago. I was pretty, pretty far gone. I needed help. And so, you know, some of that's job related from firefighting, some of it's personal. However,
Speaker: while I was there and I was learning all this great stuff about what was going on in my head and why, you know, things, depression, anxiety, PTSD, all these things. I just, I've always been a vocal guy and it's not something that I'm ashamed of or I hide in any way. I'm very vocal about it. I'm an alcoholic, ask me anything.
Speaker: Yeah. So I wanted to, you know, part of, uh, a step 12 is sharing your experience, strength and hope to help others. And that's what the mental health hour is all about. We just go over one topic each, each week. And, uh, that's, we've been doing it a year now. So.
Speaker: Nice. And they're not unlike this show. They're not very long, obviously. So you could buzz through several episodes. If you got a job like I do and I can listen to my music or podcasts or whatever all day long, because for the most part, I'm by myself. I might have to deal with contractors or whatever. But it's definitely a show that we've talked about a little bit on here before. I know you and I have
Speaker: talked a little bit about alcoholism because I struggled with it when I was younger. Fortunately, I'm the type of person that I reach a breaking point and I just stop. That's where I got to with drinking. I hit rock bottom and it was like, all right, enough is enough. I didn't have to do AA or anything like that. I mean, I still drink now,
Speaker: I drink a couple days a week, you know, and I don't get freaking hammered. I mean, I can't anymore, unfortunately. So there is I still have to work a program because it still does. It's still an addiction. Very much so. But I I hit rock bottom several times and just kept jackhammering through. Yeah. But what really got me to to stop was
Speaker: pancreatitis I got diagnosed with pancreatitis chronic pancreatitis with necrosis and I started killing unfortunately started killing some of my pancreas and and that's very very for those of you that don't know that's very vital organ and you can't replace it you only get one and you'll die without it you've heard I'm sure all of the the pancreatic cancer in Hollywood Alex Trebek just died
Speaker: from it. So this isn't cancerous. This is something completely different, but you don't want to screw with your pancreas. So it's gotten to the point where if I drink, I'll be hospitalized and eventually die. So that was, yeah, that was, that was, that was, that was the, uh, Hey.
Speaker: You know, what you're doing is not working anymore type deal, you know, and that's the thing he said you know alcoholism is a disease and and I've had a few times where I've I've struggled and I've had to fight, not falling back into that, that darkness I guess you could say.
Speaker: since I, you know, cause I was literally every day, the moment I woke up until I passed out and you know, just, and there's been a few things that have happened and I almost stumbled back into that and it was like, all right, I gotta, I gotta reevaluate shit and look at, you know, I can't let one bad thing just completely derail my entire freaking life. You know, exactly.
Speaker: And it's it really does, as you said, derail, because I mean, it's pretty heavy in my family. It's a hereditary thing, genetic. And my dad was telling me, watching me in my early 20s, he's like, either you have this bug, you're going to lose everything you're going to. And I did. I lost everything except my job.
Speaker: I somehow, and I was damn close to losing my career as a firefighter, damn close. Um, but, um, really we rebuild, uh, as you, as you have said on the show several times, everything happens for a reason. There's a plan for everybody. And I'm very happy right now where I am in life. So yeah, I absolutely believe that. And then when I say it, I mean it because, you know,
Speaker: No matter what you believe in, whoever is looking over us or anything like that, there's a bigger plan. At the end of the day, you're gonna go through your trials and tribulations. And you're gonna, at the end of the day, you're gonna end up where you're supposed to be. And regardless, you can look back on all the scars inside and out.
Speaker: You look at the road that you came down and say, well, you know, I could have done this and it would have been a whole hell of a lot easier, but that wasn't part of the plan at the end of the day. So, you know, no, exactly. So are you, are you still an active, uh, full -time firefighter? Yes. Uh, I have 15 years on as a career firefighter here in Frederick County, Maryland, Maryland is where I live in her side. Um, one of, I don't know.
Speaker: I know you're in Ohio. I don't know what the weather is there, but Maryland is a state where you can, Maryland's a state where you can experience all four seasons in one week. Ohio is very much like that. The weather in Ohio, Mother Nature is a bipolar finicky niche, if you will.
Speaker: Yeah. And we've literally seen it. There has been, actually this year alone, you woke up, I woke up one morning and it was almost 70 degrees. It was beautiful out. Nice breeze. And by the time I was coming home from work that day, it was snowing. And I'm like, okay.
Speaker: I think at some point this year, spring hit and everything started to turn green and winter said, Nope, I'm not done yet. And then everything started, it confused the way it confused the plants and the trees. They're like, wait a minute. Are we supposed to be green or, or brown? What the hell's going on right now? Yeah. But I got, uh, I got five years left till I'm eligible for retirement. And, uh, but I'll probably, I can max my pension out after 28 years. I'm only 35. I'll probably.
Speaker: I can retire when I'm 40. That's just not going to work. I just had a little one. So it's, uh, we'll be probably on for 30 years. Well, I mean, you know, like you said, you're still, you're only 35. So, you know, depending upon how everything goes and, you know, another 10, 15 years really ain't that bad. You know, especially if you.
Speaker: You're on with a good department and you like what you do. And my uncle, both my uncles were firefighters. I think my uncle, my one uncle, he retired after 21 years, I think, but he had a stroke. So he kind of had to, and I think my other uncle, probably he, I think he went 30, but so I think he's probably, I think he's retired by now. Hell, I don't know. Um, but yeah, I'm the generation myself again.
Speaker: did the job. Yeah, I volunteered for a short time where in my little hometown that I grew up in just a little teeny tiny booger on the map is what it looks like if you look it up on the map and I was gonna be a fireman. I'm gonna put in I'm gonna do this my whole life and then.
Speaker: construction came in and other jobs. Again, as I said earlier, I could go back to 16 year old me and say, let's, let's have a conversation. Let me, let me tell you something. It's really, it's really, uh, freaking me out. It's not freaking me out. It's making me feel old is what it is, is that, um, this job, firefighting kind of, well, I've, I've been around it my whole life, um, with my dad being career firefighter as well, but
Speaker: firefighting in general as a profession, uh, really started, you know, taking off after September 11th. Oh yeah. And this year, uh, we have,
Speaker: our first hired person that we just put an academy through. And there's somebody in this academy that was not alive for September 11th. That's crazy to think that there are kids of age, adults, 19, 20, 18, that weren't alive for that. It's kind of like,
Speaker: For when we were growing up, obviously we, we, you talk to like your grandparents or stuff like that, that were around for Pearl Harbor or, you know, the, um, yeah, Kennedy assassination. Like my dad was a kid when Kennedy was assassinated, you know, uh, or, uh, you know, the, um, Holocaust and shit like that, you know, I used to, I have, I had customers, uh, when I worked for working down in Charleston that were Holocaust survivors.
Speaker: And, and we're in the camps and stuff like that. And to hear their stories, it's just mind blowing. Yeah. And be like, it's just so crazy to think that that happened. And then, you know, the biggest thing that's happened in our lifetime is 9 -11, um, which, you know, obviously is right up there with like Pearl Harbor and stuff like that. You know, we completely unexpected and on our, on our soil, you know, you don't expect people to, to, to attack us here. There's moments where you'll never forget where you were.
Speaker: when it happened. I don't know. I was a little young yet, but we had Columbine. We had the Oklahoma bombing. Unfortunately today, where this is like an everyday thing, these mass shootings and what have you.
Speaker: Oklahoma City bombing that as far as I remember now again, I was young. This wasn't a big thing back then. So that was a humongous. Yeah, it was a huge news story. I mean, so was so was Columbine. I mean, that happened my senior year high school and the day it happened. They locked us down. They wouldn't let us leave school. Yeah.
Speaker: I mean, they locked us the hell down. And it was like, stay in your classroom. You know, nobody do this. It was crazy. You know, same with 9 -11. I was, I was, I was out on a job when I, and I was, I was, worked for a construction company. I worked for my uncle. I was a heavy equipment operator and we was out on a job and it came on the radio. We're like,
Speaker: the hell? What kind of dumbass, you know, how do you accidentally fly your plane? We were thinking like it was like, you know, like a little single engine, you know, private plane type deal, whatever. And then come to find out, you know, as we start listening to the radio, it's like, Jesus Christ, like, what the fuck is going on? It was it was it was insane. And we were out in the middle of nowhere. We were in BFE, Ohio on a job. And I was just like, what the fuck, man? I mean, I remember that I had a lot of friends
Speaker: that instantly went and enlisted. And I had already been told that I was damaged goods and stuff like that. But I had a lot of friends that instantly, right there on the spot, they enlisted. They joined fire departments. They joined the police departments and everything like that, joined the police academy and fire academy and went in the military. And it was just like, OK. It's one of those times, you know, everybody wants to help.
Speaker: It's neat living where I live here in Maryland. Literally, DC is in the gut of Maryland. It's a part of Maryland. I mean, I can still hear you, but I'll be right back. Sure. But yeah, we've got all the monuments and everything down there. And the Smithsonian's, the museums there are just incredible.
Speaker: especially like the Holocaust Museum, you were talking about the Holocaust, the stories that are there and all of the artifacts and just everything to fit into a three -story museum is just
Speaker: incredible the amount of history that is there. And if anybody listening ever gets a chance to go through DC and take a minute, go through some of those Smithsonian museums, they're unbelievable.
Speaker: take a couple tranquilizers before you drive in DC. We don't even. I go to Montgomery County, which is only like 1020 minutes away and then I metro in the hell grabbing down in DC. I I I've been to DC a couple times. I way back in the day before my oldest daughter was bored. I used to work for two minute in a truck. We moved a guy from Columbus to Arlington.
Speaker: I was a driver and I was like, you know what? I had about enough of this bullshit. Five minutes in, I'm bigger than everybody. I'm not started. I'm just running people. These motherfuckers don't know how to drive. It is. It's a whole different world. It really is. Yeah. Like I, you know, people talk about, oh, and the light of traffic's miserable. New York traffic is miserable.
Speaker: Man it is a different monster in that DC area But yeah, I was just saying if the All the stuff they have from September 11th and the Holocaust Museum is well worked trip. It's oh, yeah
Speaker: And I've been through and got to see all that stuff. And the Pentagon, of course, we're close to that. The only thing I haven't been to, and I'd like to, I guess, bucket list item, is to visit Ground Zero. I haven't been up New York yet. Yeah, I would like to get up there myself and visit Ground Zero. The thing about New York is it's cool to visit if you're into certain things. I don't know how people live there, though.
Speaker: I mean, I've been to New York a couple of times and a weekend up there is more than enough for a visit because it gets pretty maddening in the city. I'm sure. And I guess a lot of that is growing up.
Speaker: Um, there, you know, if you're, if that's what you know, then that's what you're gonna do. Like I'm used to Frederick, which is my speed. You know, we have a decent city. Um, we're right close to everything. Like I said, we're real close to DC. We got, um, Fort D trick right here, which is where I think outbreak was, um, was, uh, not filmed, but mentioned. Um, yeah.
Speaker: So there's a lot going on in this area and that's enough for me. No, exactly. Well, that's a crazy thing because they talk about.
Speaker: As you just said, you know, if that's where you're from, you're kind of used to it, you know, um, this weekend, uh, Jodi, she came up and we spent the weekend together. She came up here to the apartment. And, uh, you know, as I said earlier, we went to a park up by where I w where I grew up at, but I was like, you know what? We're going to take the senior route. We're going to take the long way in the, in the, in the Mount Vernon. And I, and I went through my, my hometown and she was, it was just like,
Speaker: She was amazed because she grew up in the city. She was born and raised in the big city. She's a city girl. And I'm just a country bumpkin. I'm from the middle of fucking nowhere ass Ohio. And it was funny to see her just looking around and just kind of like.
Speaker: and almost like, what the hell did you guys do out here? There's, there's nothing out here. Yeah. Just kind of taking it in. Um, yeah, you know, at all honesty, it's, it's pretty amazing to live in the country because you got a lot of freedoms that you don't have in, uh, has that area at all seen any grip? Like when I was growing up.
Speaker: Uh, this was very country to lots of farms. Everybody had a farm, but it all seems to now 30 years later, it's all been bought up and it's all townhouses now and walls and shit. Yeah. My, my hometown, if you want to call it a town, a little, it's like a little bird. And at the end of the day, it's just, it's, it's, it's one of those places. If you drive through and you blink, you missed it.
Speaker: It, uh, it has not changed at all. Now my property or like where at my house, where I grew up at, my parents owned a lot of, a lot of land. Um, the people who bought it from my parents, they still live there. They cleared it. It was, we had, we had our front field and then where the house was at was the only, everything else was all wooded. They completely declared the entire property for the most part. Um,
Speaker: Um, but other than that, I mean, for the most part, it's the exact same. I mean, it is the exact same now Mount Vernon, which is like the closest city still BFE Ohio. Um, it's blown up a lot. And this, and I hadn't been back home and.
Speaker: over 20 years. Uh, I went back a couple of weeks ago. I was just out driving. Uh, it's something I like to do. It's, it's, it's one of those therapeutic type things. Not that I'm dealing with anything or struggle with anything. I just wanted to get out of the house and I just went driving and I found myself back home. Uh, and actually went up and talked to the people who, who bought my parents house and introduced myself and everything like that. Um,
Speaker: Mainly just because I didn't want them to think I was some weirdo pulling in their driveway. I didn't realize anybody was home until somebody come out on the porch. I was like, Oh shit, let me go up and introduce myself.
Speaker: Sorry, I didn't mean to creep you guys out or anything. But Mount Vernon, of course, it's blown up in the last 20 years or so. It still has that small town feel, but there's a lot more stores and shopping and restaurants and stuff like that. You get your B -dubs, which we didn't have B -dubs growing up. We had a Ponderosa and a Ryan steakhouse.
Speaker: was the restaurants that we had in Mount Vernon when I was growing up, when I was growing up. And Ryan's was like a buffet. It was like an all you can eat buffet. So then we had a couple of mom and pop places and stuff like that.
Speaker: But yeah, we got, we, they, like, they built a Walmart, a big Walmart super center there, like my junior year of high school. And that was the biggest thing. It was crazy that we had a Walmart in Mount Vernon. It really was like around my high school. It's changed a little bit because they,
Speaker: they built the elementary school beside the high school and then they added on, they tore down the original high school and build onto it and move the part. Like I was, I was showing Jody cause on our, on our way into Mount Vernon, we went right past where I went to high school at and where our, our practice field was for football was in the middle of the cornfield. And at the beginning of the season, when we would start doing our two a days or whatever, the farmer would come down and cut the corn down. And as you know, they don't cut it down to the ground. You get,
Speaker: little pieces sticking up and we practiced on that. Now they got a whole big, nice practice field. We only had one baseball diamond. Now there's like two or three of them. There's this big, fancy bus parking garage up on the hill. They read it our football stadium, um, and all this other stuff. And it was just like, well, it'd been nice to have when I was a nice little, but then you can't have your old man stories like men had, you know, when we walked up
Speaker: uphill, both ways in the snow, all that. And we used to practice on cornstalk. Yeah. It was just a, it was just an added level of difficulty. It was like, if you're, if you're a gamer, you start a brand new game and it's like, how, what difficulty would you like easy, normal or extreme? Yeah. We had, we didn't have a choice. We were putting the extreme difficulty level right from the back.
Speaker: and that's and that's why uh well, I don't know what we can say here. We can say whatever. That's why that's why our generation is tougher than this new generation. There you go. That's that's putting it mildly.
Speaker: That's why our generation can win a fight with just words with the younger generation Yes, yes, it's funny. It's fun to come on shows like this because even in the in the chatters box like I can I can Let loose a little bit more like I yeah, I keep it real serious and like professional You guys you you guys are a complete 180 from what we are we're aware over here and
Speaker: dick jokes and farts and everything else that you guys are on the other side of the on the other side of the tracks. We're from the wrong side of the tracks and you guys are for the right side of the track. I just like I look at we have a pretty decent following for the show and you know that's the Tim they know is the one that presents the mental health hour and talks about all these hard hitting topics and and what have you and very serious and I was like man if these people came
Speaker: And I'd be like, who the hell? I know that was what was crazy. One of the times, one of the first times I watched the mental health hour, I was like, wait a minute. That's not the same Tim in the chatter's box. That's not chatter's box, Tim. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We, we try, you know, it's real hard. I'm sure I'm, I'm 100%. No, you know, it's hard trying to get any traction and, uh, get this podcast like,
Speaker: That's what I call it a podcast. It's more of like, I don't know. It's a video, vlog, whatever the hell you want to call it. That Mars show at least, because we're not on any of the Spotify or anything yet. And that's why I was talking to you about how you rip the audio for that. Because I wouldn't mind getting maybe, it could definitely be produced as a podcast in the long run.
Speaker: Since we've come to StreamYard, the behind the scenes podcast, Spotify aspect of it has become a million times easier for me because before I would have to pull the audio. If I had to do any editing or add music or add this, do all that. Oh, excuse me.
Speaker: Now, I in the show, as soon as I in the show, I, uh, click the download button. It converts it down to an MP3 does everything for me. I've already got all the music during the show because, uh, you know, I can, I can play it right, right in the middle of the show with no, with no issues and everything's set to go. So then I just go to anchor and post it up. Then after that, the hard part is just sharing.
Speaker: At the end of the day, it's the promotion. And that's something that I have gotten on and continue to get on Jeff and Tony about. I appreciate when you're doing 900 different lives and you bring up the show.
Speaker: Also take, take, you know, a couple minutes and jump on the Facebook and just share it out, share it into your group, share it onto your page. I don't care where you share it. I share some bitch everywhere. I got groups that are not podcast related that I follow on Facebook that I share and people have actually become fans of the show.
Speaker: And when I share, they comment and they're like, oh, you know, hey, we listened. And they comment about shit that we talked about on previous episodes when I post the newest episode. And then I get in the chatters box, or not in the chatters box, but I get in the comments. And I think they enjoy the fact that I'm that person that I will take the time to chat back with them and acknowledge and joke around and fuck around with them. You know, joke around, yeah, there's the man cave on Facebook.
Speaker: There's good group of guys and we've had some back and forth You know different discussions and fucking with each other and everything like that But it's it's basically all men and in the in the Facebook group, you know, so You know, we have fun and and there's no you're not you don't like oh I said bitch should I have said bitch am I gonna offend somebody in here? So because as we
Speaker: around some of those topics on a mental health broadcast. Oh, no. Yeah, I don't know. It's fun. Yeah, because as as as you know, I'm
Speaker: Um, I don't have a filter for the most part. I, you know, none of us do Tony, Tony or Jeff, none of the three of us really have a filter for the most part. And I've gotten a lot better. Uh, Tony's given me credit for that. I don't, you know, it's just like.
Speaker: you know I kind of filter myself a little bit here and there but for the most part come in here and say and do what you want we got two rules no politics and no religion and I'm just as guilty as those two of breaking those rules from time to time as as I say I drop grenades and leave yeah I mean sometimes it calls for it like you can keep politics out of and it's a great rule to have because talk of politics has never
Speaker: never good for your brand or anything because yeah obviously no but uh sometimes you know if you can do it in an unbiased way like when that the the school shooting in Texas just happened you're gonna talk about that it's just gonna happen and uh if you can do that if you can figure out a way to do that in an unbiased way you're not gonna hurt your brand then you know all about it well and that's and that's a great thing you know we we Jeff is
Speaker: Jeff is borderline right wing lunatic. And Tony has his moments where we all know Tony leans pretty left. And he has his moments where he gets a little radical left. Not all the time, but he has his moments. And then he got me. I just kind of hang out in the middle for the most part. But the great thing about the three of us is that we can have a discussion.
Speaker: and not get at each other's throat and not piss each other off. And you can look at everybody's point of view. Like Tony said, when we talked about the, the school shootings, he was all about the guns, guns, gun laws, that. And I said, it's not about the guns. It's one of the schools going to do to protect our kids. And he was like, you know, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker: So we're able to give each other when we do have a more serious conversation and we do get a little bit deeper. You know, last Monday Smoke was on the show and we got a little bit, we got a lot farther into some of the more serious topics than what we usually do on the show.
Speaker: but it was a good conversation in that we all stopped and was like, you know, kind of looked at each other's point of views rather than going, you're a fucking idiot and you're wrong. You want to kill all the babies and give everybody guns. And that's what I did. You know, after the Texas shooting, you know, I did a broadcast and we danced around it. Somehow we didn't mention it because our episode was focused on something completely different. So it really, but
Speaker: the very next week was, you know, the very next Wednesday, you guys were broadcasting at the same time. It happened again. It was in Tulsa or something. And it happened during the show.
Speaker: So they came up in our chatter's box, brought it up. And I, you know, I couldn't dance around it. I was just, I said, my piece, it was, I took two minutes out of the show. I said, um, this is not the place obviously for the politics and everything in my stance. Cause you don't, you know, our opinions are, aren't always going to match up. However, here's what I'll say and try and keep it mental health related. Uh, the guns are not the problem. It's absolutely 100%. So much more deep seated.
Speaker: than guns because as I said, you can take, you can abolish, you know, don't even worry about gun laws. Let's just say guns were never invented
Speaker: Take all the guns off the planet. People will still find ways to kill people. It's what we do. It's what we've done for thousands of years. Uh, I've been killing people forever and it's a, it's just, it's a deep seated issue and it's just, it is what it is. You know, if there's not any mass shootings, there's going to be mass stabbings, max explosions, mass, there's all kinds of other things. The guns are not it.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly. I mean, and then I moved on, we went back to my ship. Yeah, exactly. Which is what I try to do sometimes. Sometimes it's, as you see, it's tough to, no matter what the topic of conversation is, sometimes it's tough to wrangle
Speaker: two people in and get them. Hey, right, right here, back, I'll check. Focus, focus. Jeff is hard on it. Jeff is hard by himself, like, to try to keep him focused is a trick that has taken me 25 years of friendship to figure out how to, you know,
Speaker: many years I've put in. I know exactly what I did. You guys had me laughing on some of those older episodes where it's just you two and you hadn't really gotten the groove of the show yet. Yeah. Every time you said like five words, it reminded him of 15 stories. And I had to tell him off the show of like Jeff
Speaker: Nobody knows these people. They don't care. Well, you know, that one time that Nathan Radcliffe and Bob Smith, and I'm like, they don't know who they are. Keep it simple, stupid. Keep it simple. I do want to thank you all.
Speaker: your, uh, podcasts have been keeping me entertained while I do work on my own show here at the computer. I'll listen to it. You guys have me laughing. Um, I actually screenshot it or, uh, video. I'll send you a clip. It was the other night I was listening to an episode. It was you and a big Mike and, um, Jeff and, uh, just the conversation, it was only like a little 15 seconds snippet.
Speaker: but I laugh for probably 20 minutes. Sometimes we strike gold and that's what, you know, that's what I, I, when, when I've always, I've wanted to do a podcast for years. Hence the reason why I got into like live streaming and stuff like that. I got into live streaming probably 10, 11 years ago.
Speaker: I started out on Ustream. I've talked about it on here before. I started out on Ustream. Ustream kind of just went defunct real quick in a hurry and it was cool. It was cool because it was new and I'd never really done anything like that. I'd played around on Twitch a little bit.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm playing Call of Duty. Let me throw Twitch on and see if anybody wants to conversate back and forth, whatever. Yeah. And then you stream went away, but right about the time you stream went away, Periscope popped up and I was on Periscope from day one.
Speaker: And I met a lot of people out there. I had a lot of fun. It was just me. It was just me bullshitting and drinking and having fun. And it was very chat heavy, chat led lives because I fed off the chat so much.
Speaker: And then periscope started having issues. So I, uh, my kids were already on Tik TOK and they were telling me, Oh, make Tik TOK videos. Dad, dad, dad, dad. So I was kind of phasing out a periscope when I got into Tik TOK and it was the same thing. You know, once I hit my X amount of followers that I had to have on Tik TOK. So I could go live. I started going live on there. Yeah. It, my schedule never changed. I only went live on Saturday nights.
Speaker: And it was very chat -heavy or chat -led in there as well. But my goal at the end of the day was to start this podcast. But I always said, and this was the first thing I told Jeff, I said, I want this to be an escape from reality for people. They can come in and they can listen to our show, whether they hang out with us live or they listen to us.
Speaker: on demand or whatever, however you want to say it. I wanted to be an escape from the bullshit, the politics and all the craziness in the world. Just come in and have fun. We don't have to be fake. We can be real. We can be exactly who we are. And, you know, unfortunately, things didn't work out with Mike. Mike's Mike's dealing with a lot of issues and things like that. And unfortunately, my brassness and the fact that I have no filter. And even though I wasn't being an asshole,
Speaker: He kind of took it as me being an asshole and he got his feelings hurt and we've moved on and Tony joined us. And from the moment I met Tony on Haps and did a couple of lives with him, I was like, all right, Tony and I, we got a little connection here, we can do this shit. And bringing Tony on was just added bonus for the listeners because -
Speaker: Yeah. And he, he, he rolls with us for the most part. He, he, he doesn't get offended easily. So, you know, obviously we got. Which is awesome because, you know, I'll be sitting, listening, you'll throw something out there and I'm just like, Ooh. And he's just like, yeah, man, you're right. I know. I know. Uh, I know. Uh, I know my boundaries. I know. I know where I'm like,
Speaker: grand dragon wizard Jeff over here, borderline clan member with some of the things he said.
Speaker: God love him, but Jesus Christ. There's sometimes there's just like, I wish I had a button that I could hold in my hand because I know what he's going to say before he says half the things he says. I wish I had a button that I could like make him wear like one of those dog shot collar. Before he says it, I can just hit it. Just over here training, just training my Jeff. Don't mind me.
Speaker: But I think we have a very good dynamic between the three of us. And at the end of the day, it's all about having fun. And like you said, I love when people reach out and they're like, man, we really like what you guys are doing. It's a nice change of pace where we can get away. What we think is dumb, well, some of the things that we think are so dumb turns out to be some of the best moments on the show.
Speaker: And I like finding, you know, alternate means of entertainment, you know, especially more lately. Cause the news, there's never anything new in the news. It's COVID, COVID, COVID shooting, COVID, COVID, COVID. And then, you know, we have, I joke with my wife, I say we've got satellite dish with a thousand channels and there's not one fucking thing on here that I want to watch.
Speaker: Oh, and I cut the, I cut the cable a long time ago, years ago. And, uh, you know, I've got, I've got a few channels like they came with my internet or came with my internet package. So I've got a couple of channels, but they, I got to pick them. So ESPN, Fox Sports, uh, NFL network, you know, I got a couple of channels specifically for wrestling, you know, but then I got my local channels, but I actually watch like
Speaker: I don't know what's it what it's called like charge or whatever TV that has like all the old shows on it like when I was growing up like quantum leap and and You know shows like that Yeah, I saw the original MacGyver or whatever. I watched it We've got the Roku
Speaker: TV, whatever. And it's got all the, I mean, the kids don't watch cable. They watch Disney plus or Netflix. We have Amazon prime. We have streaming services. Yeah. I have all that stuff too. I have talked about cutting the cord with the cable company, but we just haven't pulled that trigger yet. I don't know. I'll tell you when you, when you finally decide to pull the or cut the cord, you're going to be happy. It's going to save you a lot of money, but
Speaker: I'm pretty in in deep with them and I have been since I was seven years old. So yeah, well, there's there's there's plenty of apps out there. I've got an app that I use to watch different sports all because I live in Ohio and you would think I could watch the Blue Jackets games anytime when they're on but I can't and I'm a big Blue Jackets fan.
Speaker: the the the
Speaker: Cincinnati Reds, I never can catch a Cincinnati Reds game. But I have an app on my phone that I can pull up the streams and then I can shoot it to my TV. And that way if I wanna watch jackets games or whatever, I don't miss them. Reds, I don't watch a whole lot of baseball on TV. I might watch an inning or two here and there, but outside of that, I'm not hanging around for the full nine innings.
Speaker: but um welcome back what's up Tim I finished my meeting man welcome back we're kind of just shooting the shit bullshit getting ready to uh wrap it up my man Tim came and saved me I was holding it down but Tim came in with a save Tim I do want to I like I said I do want to get ready to wrap this up but I would love to uh
Speaker: per your schedule permitting, I'd love to get you on here like on a Monday night for a full show with Tony and I. Monday seems to work the best and Jeff's not usually here. Right now, right now is the best. Hey buddy. Hey Jason. Right now is the best because I'm on baby leave until July 9th. So nice. But normally my schedule rotates every three days. So I work 24 hours and then I'm off for 48.
Speaker: Yeah. So every third Monday at work, but, um, yeah, it's, uh, it's just rotating. Let me get out there. Both of us have broadcast on Wednesdays. Y 'all want to combine one time. What me and Gemma. Yeah.
Speaker: I don't think that, I don't think, I don't know Gemma that well. I've seen her and I, you know, from watching the show. I don't know how, I mean, it could be an interesting collaboration, but not, not sensical in a series issue. They do this show for an hour and they normally never on a Wednesday. We wrap up at seven o 'clock. I'm on Eastern time. You guys are both Eastern, right? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, six to seven every Wednesday. Um, we're done.
Speaker: the the
Speaker: Oh, it's six o 'clock here, but it's 11 over there. When we wrapped the show, it's midnight over there for her. So I don't know if she'll come, but I can jump over whenever, you know. Yeah. No, I see what you're saying. We could do a collab and our first hour of the Wednesday night show would be, uh, like a nonsensical nonsense mental health hour collaboration. And you guys could join us right here on stream yard and still, uh, um, that's what we use stream yard.
Speaker: Yeah. You guys could join us on here and, and all that stuff. Let your followers know, Hey, we're going to, we're going to do a, do our show with, with these clowns and then we can, then we can shock everybody and be like, look, we can be serious only for an hour.
Speaker: I could talk with Tim one time last year. He had me on the show with him, and I'm grateful for that. I would love to have him. I'm glad he's here with us. Now, hell, I say we're putting together, or at least jump on with each other at all different times. You know what I mean? Yeah, man. But yeah, definitely. I think it would be cool to throw Tim into the mix from time to time. Plus, I owe Tim. I owe Tim. If you're with him, Tim doesn't have anything to do with me. I owe Tim. This is my show. This is my show. You understand me? It's how I'm supposed to do it.
Speaker: never told you that. Damn it. Thank you for that. I saw what you did but that that oh no worries man. That guy is out of control. I think I think it'll be cool and Tim if you know your followers came over, they can see you. Hey, you gotta be careful. I got a bigger. I got a bigger. I'm under attack.
Speaker: What? Nerf guns, man. You are not watching Predator anymore. I just realized this whole time it says the mental hour. Oh, shit. It does. I was trying to type it on the fly. Damn, that's OK. It sounds like a whole different show than the mental hour. I was typing it on the fly. Words are hard.
Speaker: Do I smell toast? Yes, molefish. I heard about the shirt. I think you need to make a shirt. Tony was talking about it last night. You need to make a shirt with Tony picking his teeth or something. Oh, wow. Okay. As soon as soon as I have a local
Speaker: the the
Speaker: I believe in good hygiene. Once I have somebody that could do big pull, there will be, I do want to do a, I sent Tony and Jeff a while back a T -shirt, a logo design where it's basically our three faces and then it would be our show logo and stuff like that. And it's just on the front of the shirt. But unfortunately, like I said, on Teespring,
Speaker: You don't have a lot of options as far as pictures go. You can only have them so big. They have to be so many megabytes or whatever. They have to be certain resolution and all that jazz. And I don't have the big fancy setup. I got a Chromebook, so I can't break it all down. So a lot of our shirts, which is nothing wrong. Sometimes just some of the playing shirt with, there Tony, I think I fixed it.
Speaker: YouTube and Twitter lowercase letters Jesus Christ this dude. Oh my god. Oh my god. This is officer So much I can do I'm on the fly here, but I'm over school was rough I understand Hey, listen guys, I'm gonna I'm gonna hop all thanks for having me up. I'm gonna eat some dinner. I
Speaker: but I'll let you guys hold your show like you normally do and yeah, just hit me up. Any Monday here.
Speaker: Cool, man. Cool. Yeah, absolutely. I need me. Yeah, no, I'll get with you. Like I said, I think it'll be cool to bring you up here with Tony and I for a full show. Keep the hat on. Have seen it. Have seen it. Absolutely. Bury it and let it leave it to rest. But no, I do appreciate you popping in here, man. If you want to go ahead and shout out all your info so people know where to find you, go ahead and take a minute and throw all that out there. Oh, yeah. Apparently. I can't type or spell.
Speaker: so I can't type uh no guys just just just just tell them where to find you you don't have to worry about yeah the uh the mental health hour there on youtube and twitch every wednesday 6 p .m eastern time um that's what we did we talked one one uh one hour out of the week on wednesdays um we picked one topic mental health related uh we have all of our disclaimers of course we're not trained therapists or anything like that this is just
Speaker: real chat. So come on by, see us. Everything you need to know, we are on all the social medias, but we've got it all condensed to our bio link, which is just bio .link, L -I -N -K slash T -M -H -H. And it takes you to a nice little page with everything. So that's bio .link at slash T -M -H -H.
Speaker: And that's it. You know what, man? I meant to share a tweet, but it wouldn't let me. I was trying to share a tweet that you all did for the mental health hour and put it out there, and it wouldn't let me do it for some reason. You got to comment on it by some craziness.
Speaker: just so our listeners know, excuse me, just so our listeners know on Wednesday nights, if you're not there for the first hour because you want to go check out Tim and Gemma, we won't get mad at you. We're here. We're here eight hours, nine hours a week. You can take an hour to go get your serious on and go hang out with Tim and Gemma and show them some love. Yeah. As long as you come back to us, you know, you need the dick and fart jokes in your life. You know, yeah, we had the raid last week.
Speaker: I guess. Yeah, Tim, I do appreciate you popping in here for a little bit, man. I'll get with you. We'll get together and we'll plan something for a Monday where you can come in and do the whole show with Tony and I, maybe a couple of Mondays or, you know, a few Mondays here and there where you can come in and let people, let's see, let people see a different side of our serious Tim. Let them see the chatter's box, Tim. Yeah. All right. Sounds good. I appreciate you, man. Have a good night, brother. See you guys. Good doing, man.
Speaker: Yeah, wrestling's on. I got to get him right to bed. No, wrestling is, Tim and I, he came in and I was kind of floundering around with the top 10 list. I was having fun with it. I was making myself laugh. I don't know if anybody else was, but I was making myself laugh. But I do, I actually meant to tell Tim, I'm going to try to play him for Saturday. Top 10 list that was inspired by Tim, the top 10 best commercials of all time. I already had the list, but I think I'm going to,
Speaker: I think I'm going to see if I can find the commercials. I'm going to see if I can find the commercials on YouTube and upload them on here and play them. Y 'all really want to do that? Oh boy. The list I have might be a little bit surprising.
Speaker: But no, with that being said, we do appreciate you guys listening Tony. Thank you for popping back in here. We went a little bit over, but you know, it is what it is. Sometimes we end it early. We normally went until 830, so.
Speaker: Yeah, but I do appreciate you popping back in here and saying hello. Hopefully your meeting went good and all that jazz. Yeah, I got a new I'm a new officer. I want a new officer position now. So no, nice, nice. Well, congratulations on that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm now a service officer at my VFW post. I was two times junior vice commander. I just finished my senior vice commander position. I'm a service officer.
Speaker: Well, those of you that are veterans and and you are and you listen and you are active participants in the VFW, you will know what that means. But if you're somebody like me, I have no idea what he's talking about. Apparently Tony gets to serve the beers now or before. No, we don't even we don't even have a foreign outcome. So there's a lot of.
Speaker: Here's a, oh, here he go. Random Rick's on it over. Nice. Random Rick, are you following us on any of the social media?

Send it to me, Rick, if you can. Hold on. Hold on, I'll get it. You want to watch it now?
Speaker: Well, I was going to save it. No, I was. I want to highlight it. Open the window and it's your screen. It's only give me a little second. What is this? Oh, yeah. Show computers are hard, though. I won't use that.
Speaker: What's that? Computers are hard. Yeah, now computers are hard. That's why I said, just send it to me. I'll put it in the, I'll put it in the library. But we are going to wrap up. I do appreciate y 'all listening. I appreciate y 'all hanging out. Hopefully when I was on my own, it wasn't too bad. I'm not, you know, back in the day, I could do a, do a show by myself with ease, but I've gotten, I've gotten comfortable. I've gotten, I've gotten, what's the word I'm looking for Tony?
