00:04:41
Speaker
Oh, sweet. Maybe she can get a job at TikTok when she's done. Yes. Yeah, she's got to figure out the algorithm and then when she gets through... Trust me, she could be a monkey and have that and and work the algorithm as well as they do. I mean...
00:04:55
Speaker
um yeah sorry a lot we haven't We haven't been able to um do that yet. We've been doing it off of here, StreamYard. So we're trying to figure out what... Huh?
00:05:09
Speaker
They're very particular of of giving you the the code in order to go stream live on TikTok. Yeah. Yeah, you got to have like, what is it? Like 47 followers? We're at like 10.
00:05:21
Speaker
No, we're at 50. Number of followers? Yeah. well, I don't know. I've got, I've got two different, I've gotten my combined account with a wife and that is, think that hit 560,000 today.
00:05:34
Speaker
And then I've got my primary account, which is a 1.8 million. And I, wo we don't, we don't have the accessibility for going live through stream yard or OBS or any of that, um, on ours, but I've got a friend of mine who's I think at like,
00:05:51
Speaker
I don't know what Tam is at, but she's, she's, she's much lower. I mean, she's, she's in the double digits of of thousands, but she, she's got it activated for hers to where she can, she can go live from her computer. I'm like, what? Yeah. There's something on here that we could use. um We tried to do it, but we can't figure out it it all yet. So we're just leaving it right there.
00:06:16
Speaker
Yeah. I'm waiting for my producer to show up and you should fire him. Oh, yeah, I fired him already. So, I mean, but what are you going to He's my son-in-law. He lives here. what do he Yeah, well, time to get his ass moving.
00:06:30
Speaker
All right. um Let's say start off a few questions anyways. um Let's start off with one of yours, Brian, that you wanted to know to get off but to start off with.
00:06:41
Speaker
um You had asked um how long had him and his wife been together? Yeah, you and a you and Angel. How long have you guys been together?
Toby's Personal Life and Farm Stories
00:06:50
Speaker
Mark knows the answer to this. No, I know how long they've been married.
00:06:53
Speaker
I know how long they've been married. Not unless that was an old one that I watched. but I put him on the spot. Carry the two.
00:07:04
Speaker
ah yup um we We actually met in 1990. We met in 1993. And we we went to high school together. We met on the high school swim team. So we've been together for 30 years.
00:07:20
Speaker
I mean, we've known each other. Let me rephrase that. We've we've known each other for 30 years. we didn't even We didn't even date for the first four years that we knew each other.
00:07:31
Speaker
She asked me out. I told her no. Oh, it was you. It was you saying no I said, I said no. Yeah. can Can you believe it? Look at this. Right. hot piece of ass I'm with right now.
00:07:43
Speaker
And this said no. So let me ah let me let me ask you a question to go along with that. Then ah how long has she had her her hairdo, her pink hair?
00:07:54
Speaker
I absolutely love the pink. I love the cut. The red and black. Is that where she's at now? Red and black? Oh, she's she's been red and black. yeah Okay. I thought it was pink for some reason. No, just sometimes it looks pink because she needs to re-dye the red.
00:08:08
Speaker
um But she's had... Yeah. yeah That's Lillette. That's ah that's one of our one of my faithfuls. She's really good friend. I love her daughter. Absolutely love her. And I hate kids, so... um But she's she's been with the with the red and black hair probably, good Lord,
00:08:29
Speaker
um
00:08:32
Speaker
probably close to 15 years. fifteen years okay When you first met her you knew what's that first matter When you first met her and stuff, ah what color was her hair?
00:08:44
Speaker
Dirty blonde. and It was almost all the way down to it was like halfway down her back. and She always kept it in a super tight French braid. Always. i see I couldn't even picture that now.
00:08:55
Speaker
Oh, she was a, she was an athlete. Like she's, that's one of the things that really, that's one of the things that help us hit it off is she was, she's a military brat. Um, and, uh, I was going into the military, but she's an athlete and I was, I was an athlete and we just kind of clicked and we became like really good friends very quickly.
00:09:16
Speaker
Yeah, you said you met, what what was it, the swim team? On the swim team, yeah. Swim team. So the swim team is, in Minnesota, the swim team. That's a real thing.
00:09:27
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. In Minnesota, where it freezes to death. Oh, yeah, yeah. it's all It's awesome during that. So, of course, obviously, the pools, the the competition pools are indoors. But coach would always open up the door.
00:09:43
Speaker
so that we'd get a fog over the top of the pool and be freezing while we train. And of course the the pools, they're not heated. i mean, they are, but I think they keep the, they keep the water temperature at like 67 degrees or something like that.
00:09:57
Speaker
um But yeah, we met, ah we met on the swim team. um The girls swim team has their season first and then immediately following that as the guys. And so while I'm playing one sport um while I'm playing football, I'm also the swim team manager for the girls swim team so that I can get in practice for the guys swim team season.
00:10:19
Speaker
That's definitely not what you were doing. You were definitely checking out those bikinis. Oh, I wasn't even, i wasn't even allowed. i wasn't even allowed anywhere near. Oh, my coach knew better. He's like, yeah, you can, you can, if I need you, I'll have you go work in the office. But if not, you can go practice in the deep end where the diving boards are. I'm like, okay.
00:10:39
Speaker
Very good. Very good. Yeah. It's not like here in Florida, you know, they, they actually heat the pools here for the kids to swim in and they don't need to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:51
Speaker
It's all outside. Our ours are outside that they do. The meats are outside. but the But the heat comes from the solar system. Yeah. It comes from the sun. No, no, no. No, they actually heat them.
00:11:03
Speaker
They keep them heated. just Yeah, but i thought that that I thought all they did was literally put out some solar panels and and be like, it's a heated bulb. 60 something degrees so you can come down here swim in our springs that are always a brisk 72 and you'd be happy yeah while i why I lived in Minnesota i was I was part of the polar bear club where every year you'd go and you'd break ice around a dock at at a lake and everybody would jump in and you'd play some beach volleyball and stuff and yeah I'm a cold weather person that's I don't like living where I live now where do you live now?
00:11:41
Speaker
i'm in north carolina north kakalaki yeah i retired from one of the retired out of fort bragg in 2014 and uh my wife didn't uh my my wife's job position couldn't transfer her um to any there were no openings in minnesota where we wanted to move back to and she just had too good of a job so i was like all right well we'll plant here then It's really just the summer that I can't stand. The winter and the the fall and the spring are are nice, but outside that. Yeah, well, like start and start next at least you get downhill.
00:12:12
Speaker
Is it too hot in the summertime in North Carolina for you? Too hot, too humid. So you'd hate it in Florida. Oh, come on. We have two seasons, Brian. Yes, rainy and hot.
00:12:23
Speaker
No, you have a summer and in late summer. Yeah. I mean, right now it's almost 90 degrees. Well, not right now, but today was almost 90 degrees here. Yeah, it was beautiful. And I'm like, ah screw that. That's why I want to leave.
00:12:37
Speaker
Yeah, that's why I want to leave Florida because and I'm tired of this shit. Yeah. Mark's a big, ah he's from Michigan, so he wants to go to back to Michigan. No, I can't go back to Michigan. The wife won't let me.
00:12:50
Speaker
I'm telling you. She says I can go by myself. Yeah, for the majority of people that were born and raised in the Midwest, like you really do want to either go back there if you move away, like you think it's going to be great moving away because, you know, I hate the snow. You know, it's the you know, the the winter weather sucks. Yeah. But guess what? All three other seasons suck pretty much everywhere else you go.
00:13:10
Speaker
Yeah. So go back and and people like me and the wife, we want to go back. But just we didn't have an opening and now I have too many animals. hey Well, let's let's how many animals do you have over 80 over 80?
00:13:28
Speaker
That definitely got me beat. We're essentially we've essentially become a small petting zoo here because I have a very difficult time telling my wife now. And once we have one of one type of animal, I'm usually the one that wants to get more of those.
00:13:42
Speaker
And my wife doesn't tell me now. That reminds me of the tick tock that he did. You know, he was looking at a baby hippo and it what it said baby hippo and there goes his wife.
00:13:55
Speaker
Yeah, water He wanted a new one. Oh, it's a new animal. Let's get one. Yeah. yeah So we're looking at right now, we're still looking at mini cows and mini donkeys and things like that to add to the goats, the turkeys, the geese, the ducks, chickens, the dogs, the cats, the turtles and the house pigs.
00:14:16
Speaker
So you have over 80, over 80 animals. How many live inside? The cats, the dogs? The pigs. The house pigs. And a house chicken.
00:14:27
Speaker
And a turtle. And a snake. Let's hear. So snake, two turtles. So that's three. And then we've got, we're down to two dogs now because we just lost one recently. Yeah. so that's Sorry about that, man.
00:14:38
Speaker
That's okay. he's it was We were just biding his time and keeping him comfortable. um Plus three pigs. That brings us to eight. And then four cats. That brings us to 12. 12 twelve so twelve um i got him beat on on cat and that one chicken so that brings us 13 13 13. i got him beat on cats so i got nine look like you would i i know i got nine cats three ferrets uh love it three dogs damn that was good no i love it that piece has to go how many ferrets
00:15:20
Speaker
three Yeah, we used to have a bunch of ferrets. We have two females, one male. They're fixed. They're descended. And they're fun as hell, especially when you get them outside. You know, they they pop and jump. and and But every damn time, they want to go after my damn chickens. Yeah.
00:15:38
Speaker
Yeah. So, so the animal thing. So we, we had a small farm here. Let me ask you real quick. How, how much property are you guys working with out there in North Carolina?
00:15:48
Speaker
Right now we're at three acres, but we're waiting for 20 acres. That's adjacent to us to open up. And you're going buy that. You're all over. The plan is too. Yeah.
00:15:59
Speaker
Okay. And then they're going to open up a zoo. Listen, I'm telling you, we, we had the, we had the little farm. We were on two and a half acres. Yeah. Uh, my daughter one day says, dad, you got to look at these goats.
00:16:13
Speaker
No, i don't want to look at goats. Well, I went and bought a goat and then I found out you can't buy a just the goat. You got to get two goats. Yeah. And then when the brother doesn't get sold and he's the only goat left, you have to go and buy that one too. so So how, how our goat situation ended up going is the wife wanted to go get goats and I was fine with it. I was like, yeah, sure. She wants, she wanted, she wanted the dwarf goats. So what we got ended up getting was a Nigerian dwarf pick me goat mixes.
00:16:43
Speaker
um We went to go look at two babies. I was like, we'll go, we'll go get fine. They got two babies. Not a problem. Let's go get these two babies. So we show up and somehow I wasn't, I ended up not paying attention to my wife. And that means that she got grabbed up by the people that own the goats. And we're like, Hey, listen, we've got the mom and the, and the daughter or and, and one and her older daughter, um, for these goats, if you want both of them, we'll sell them to you for an extra $50.
Animal Tales and TikTok Critique
00:17:18
Speaker
so my wife just without asking me was like yes and then she told me and i was like okay so how so we get all the four of the goats i said this is what we're doing we're selling the mom and the daughter to somebody else and and like i'll give them away and just i'll i'll bring them to somebody's farm make sure that they blend it because we're responsible when it comes to rehoming absolutely uh what we didn't know is that the one boy who they told us was neutered that he was he was castrated was not yeah his nuts just hadn't dropped yet
00:17:59
Speaker
And he ended up getting the mom and the mom's oldest daughter pregnant. So then all of a sudden we went from four goats to nine goats.
00:18:13
Speaker
So now we have nine goats. Do you go yoga? I do not. But if you go out there and sit down or crouch down anywhere in that goat pen, the goats will try to jump up on your back.
00:18:26
Speaker
I've been there. I trust me. ah I know but my like I said, my youngest daughter said, Dad, you got to look at these things. And for some reason I looked and that was it. And I was like, let's just go look at them.
00:18:37
Speaker
That was that was my plan. Like, let's just go look at them. We'll pet them. The lady was super nice. She was like, yeah, you should come and check them out. And I said, we'll take one go. And she said, sir, it doesn't work that way.
00:18:48
Speaker
Yeah. what are you talking about? Yeah, they're they're pack animals. They have to go together. They're very social animals and they they cannot live alone. and Well, I mean, they can, but you'd have to have like a goat and a donkey.
00:19:01
Speaker
You know what i mean? they have to have enough They have to have their companion animals. They have to have a companion. I was trying to make our goat a house goat. It did not work at all. The dogs were like, what the hell is going on?
00:19:13
Speaker
You know, I had this thing in a little pen and it pooped everywhere and the vacuum started filling up real fast. And I was like, OK, got to got to go build this pen for the goat. And she was like, yeah, let's take them back and get his sister.
00:19:27
Speaker
And I was like, OK, fine. We're going to go get the sister. Then I get a phone call like a week later. Hey, dad. ah So the brother didn't get sold and she said we can have him for one hundred and twenty five.
00:19:38
Speaker
I'm out. like I'm out. No, I'm out. Yeah. I'd say I, if she's not giving him away, then we're not getting him. Like, well, I know I, I who wants us to take him. She can get into it.
00:19:49
Speaker
And I totally made a mistake and didn't say that. I said, well, you know, for 75 bucks, I'd go get them tomorrow. She texted the lady. Yeah. I got got. Yeah. That lady just wants to get rid of that goat. If you would have been like, Hey, if she'll give him to us, we'll come and pick him up right now.
00:20:05
Speaker
She would have been like, fine. Take him. Yep. They were fun. They were fun when we had them, but we we ended up having to get rid of them and we rehomed them as well. And they actually went to a little petting zoo, I think, area. And I thought that was really neat for them. with That's how we ended up with our pigs. So we got the wife got me a pig for Father's Day.
00:20:27
Speaker
Odd gift, but I had always wanted a pig, so I was fine with it. And then she was like, well, you know, they've got a runt there and it's all alone now. And I'm like, son bitch, don't you fucking do this to me.
00:20:39
Speaker
And she was just like, she goes, look well, the thing is, is it's really super small and I think it's kind of malnourished. I was like, let's go get it. So sure enough, we went to go pick it up and that's how we got, that's how we ended up with two goats. And then she said that she always wanted one that was like, had all the spots and calico looking and saw one a few months ago back in August. And we were like, all right, shit.
00:21:06
Speaker
So now we have three. That's the pigs. Yes. And are they potbelly pigs? One is a potbelly. Well, we're told that we're told that the youngest one, which is the one that we we've gotten most recently, his name is Paxton.
00:21:21
Speaker
He's got the most nicknames. He goes by Pigbert. He definitely knows his name. His name is Paxton, but my son calls him Pigbert. My wife calls him Little Pig, and I call him ch i call him the Chubby Chipmunk because he looks like a fat little chipmunk.
00:21:37
Speaker
um But we went and picked him up and you know, the the people said that he was a potbellied and I said, that's impossible. And they said, excuse me. i said, potbellies don't have the brown in them.
00:21:50
Speaker
They have black or white or they can be spotted, but they will not have brown. And she goes, oh excuse me. I think I know what my pig is. I said, yeah I don't think you do, but I'm still willing to buy him. So it doesn't matter.
00:22:05
Speaker
So we have one that we're even the vet that we brought him to is like, this is not a pot belly. It's a pot belly mix at best, but it's not a it's not a pot belly. And and then the other one is what's called a cun cun. And they're the ones that have the little waddles that stick down here.
00:22:20
Speaker
And they're much furrier. You'll have to do some more videos with the pigs. My daughter likes the pig videos. Yeah, we we used to get a ton of requests for us to show our animals. But, you know, that's the other thing with, you know, someplace like TikTok is somewhere around in 2020, they kind of changed things around and whatever caused your account to blow up.
00:22:45
Speaker
That's it. That's all that you can post if you if you want to talk to push it. So we were posting a bunch of videos of everything from the turkeys to the goats to the chickens and the pigs. And um people are like, kept saying the same thing. You really should post some, you know, you need to make a video of your some of your animals. And we're like, we've been making them.
00:23:06
Speaker
And they're like, well, I haven't seen any. I'm like, well, you haven't seen any on your For You page, but trust me, they exist. It's the one that has 1,100 views wedged in between the two videos that have 200,000 views because it's not it's it's not anything like what we did that gained our followership, so they don't push it.
00:23:25
Speaker
um But yeah, we try to we try to include the the the pets as much as we can. like my wife i think what my wife got me blow drying my house chicken. Yes, I saw it. I loved it. I showed my boss this. He he says, who you having on the podcast today? So I tell him.
00:23:41
Speaker
And the first video that pops up, the first video that pops up, I load you guys and it pops up. And that's the video. You're blow drying the chicken. She's like, what are you doing? Yeah. was like, yeah, watch this one. That's funny.
00:23:54
Speaker
So there's actually there's actually a reason for for having to blow dry her. so she is she's a So she's a silky, but she's a special breed of silky. She's what's called a frizzle silky.
00:24:06
Speaker
And what happens is her feathers, they they grow same spine as any other feather, but instead of all the feathers growing together and being stuck to each other, they all grow separate.
00:24:17
Speaker
So it looks like fur rather than a feather. And the problem with that is i she can't. she can't water doesn't fall off of her like it does a chicken or a duck or anything else it just absorbs she gets soaked down it just lost yeah and and it absorbs so when she's outside and she's getting and she's getting soaked because it's raining or whatever and she doesn't want to come in because that is my house chicken if she doesn't want to come in it's like 45 degrees outside and she can she can freeze
00:24:50
Speaker
So when I have to go and grab her, pull her inside and I have to blow dry her back so that she can warm up properly, because otherwise she'll just sit there and get soaked. She's got no way of drying herself off. So you've got a ah good amount of chickens, then I take it because you can't just have one chicken either. So you must be egg rich.
00:25:09
Speaker
we Oh, yeah, we're absolutely egg rich. I make more money off of eggs than I do on TikTok. I mean... That's great. Not that I'm making money off of TikTok, but yeah, if we wanted to sell our eggs, I think we get about dozen day. Okay.
00:25:24
Speaker
okay Yeah, we were doing pretty good with eggs there for a while. and And my wife just brought it up again. She's like, I don't know, maybe we should get chickens again. um Listen, I built the pen the first time.
00:25:34
Speaker
I've, you know, I've done all this and I don't want to do it again. it's It's time consuming. So i I applaud you for having the time to do the animal thing because I just don't have the time.
00:25:46
Speaker
<unk> and i don't want to put that response here that And I don't want to put that responsibility on somebody else. That's what a lot of people don't understand either is like, you know, um, So we we get most of our we get most of our chickens and like our turkeys and our ducks from a local feed store. We don't go to tractor supply because they don't know to properly ship or write or take care of their birds. So you'll have like a 50% or greater mortality rate within the first 24, 48 hours of most of the chicks that you bring home from tractor supply.
00:26:16
Speaker
Right. um So we've got the the place that we get ours from, they put out a schedule and they're like, hey, these are the chicks and the birds that we're going to have um on on premises on these days.
00:26:32
Speaker
I mean, they open at nine o'clock. We'll show up at 1030 and there's people literally walking out with boxes of them. um And by the time we walk in, they're like, yeah, we we just sold the last ones. And I'm like, oh,
00:26:46
Speaker
And it's ridiculous because these people are buying all these chickens because they think, you know, it's going to be cheaper. and like, you don't understand what you're getting yourself into. soda Like that you might, you might think that you're saving yourself a bunch of money by buying chickens, but you're not thinking of, I mean, don't get me wrong. feed Yeah. If you want to, if you want to let them free range, I mean, that's what chickens are used to. You don't have to get them feed or anything like that, but you do want to coop them up you want to have them a place protected away from predators that can get expensive.
00:27:15
Speaker
Whether you're buying a coop or you're building a coop, you're not going to be really saving much money by building one than you would be by purchasing one.
00:27:25
Speaker
Then you're going want a gated-in run area that they can stay safe you know so at night they can go in there. You've got to make sure that that's fortified, that that's not getting, you know. just Food dishes, water dishes. Yeah, it's it gets ridiculous.
00:27:39
Speaker
Nesting boxes. Oh yeah, trust me. And you're doing all this because you're trying to save the $3 that eggs have gone up in price over the last you know eight months. And you're not realizing you just you're spending $150, $200 a month just on keep maintaining these chickens.
00:27:54
Speaker
But you get some really good eggs. Yeah. the eggs those that those' really we And we have goose eggs and duck eggs too. so Not had those yet. i really duck You want duck eggs? Come get some.
00:28:07
Speaker
I have duck eggs. Yes. okay I've duck aged. We have one duck left. Richer in texture. There are a lot. It's a different taste, but it's They're really good. um My uncle, he, we used to give him to my uncle and he uses them in cakes and stuff and it makes the cakes so much better.
00:28:28
Speaker
Like more moist or something probably. Much better for baking. Yeah. Duck and goose are much better for baking.
00:28:35
Speaker
But my son, he he did he um he hatched the eggs. He put them in incubator. he did it all. And he still has, five five years later, he still has these chickens and stuff. They're dwindling down a bunch because, you know, dying off. but We got, one of the last batches we did was, he we did silkies.
00:28:57
Speaker
And we have one left of the silky and we call it doofy. And it thinks it's a duck. But all it does is it goes around in circles all day long, just about. And we called it Doofy.
00:29:09
Speaker
we have one chicken we have one chicken that was raised with uh four of our ducks um we hatched one chicken and then we hatched four ducks and it grew up with the ducks and it thinks it's a duck so we call it chicken duck that's our chicken that's chicken duck joe and then now we've got three of chicken duck joe's babies in the in the other room here because the wife was like it's gonna be too cold they don't have all their feathers we gotta bring them inside and i'm like So now they're inside.
00:29:38
Speaker
I remember those days. That's what this office used to be was the chicken coop, the baby chicken coop. And you'd come in here and they're just screaming. Like, I'm like, dude, what do you want from me? You got a red, you got a heat lamp kind of heat lamp, water constantly filling up their feed, like giving them the crump, the 30% starter crumbles. And you're like, man, yeah.
00:30:01
Speaker
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. All damn day all damn day, all night. Well, I applaud you for taking care of so many animals, man. You know, there's a lot of animals out there that don't get treated very well at all.
00:30:14
Speaker
um You know, they're used, abused and thrown out for somebody else to take care of them. So we applaud you and Angel for for taking care of those animals.
Military Service and Retirement
00:30:23
Speaker
Thank you for that.
00:30:24
Speaker
oh Yeah. um You were in the military. Correct. What branch? Although there are people that are on social media that are like, this guy's an absolute scam and a fraud. But yeah, I was 20 years. I'm 20 years retired from the United States Army. i could do Army. Okay. Very good. Thank you for your service. I did 12 active duty Navy.
00:30:48
Speaker
Did not retire, which I would have. No. I would have spent more time in, but injury ah forced me into retirement. Okay. Well, most people that hit 20 want to go like 23, 24. Yeah, want to do another enlistment and see how it goes.
00:31:02
Speaker
I was doing, I was i was shooting for 24 was my goal. Right on. what what What, do you mind if I ask what rank you hit? i was ah I was staff sergeant when i retired. i was non-promotable for like the last six, almost seven years of my career.
00:31:20
Speaker
Due to injury? Due to injury, yeah. That happens. Well, the first the first three out of that six, it was due to, the first two years out of that six was due to a false prognosis of asthma.
00:31:35
Speaker
So they made me non-deployable, which also makes you non-promotable and for two years, and then they lifted it. And then about six months later, i got injured. no okay Well, damn it, man.
00:31:52
Speaker
yeah Well, damn man, that's, that's, that's hard because I know, you know, when you hit a goal, you, you hit a milestone, so you hit the 20 and you did get to retire.
00:32:02
Speaker
They didn't a medical discharge on you. They just did a regular retirement. They actually did. Medical discharge. Yeah. So it was, well, I got, I got a standard. So it's kind of an odd situation.
00:32:13
Speaker
So first of all, let me, let me start off by saying this. I am not bitter about retiring as a staff sergeant. The only thing that I'm bitter about with that is obviously the retirement pay. 50% of, you know, staff sergeant pay is, is not very great.
00:32:27
Speaker
um but that is what it is the reason why i'm not better about retiring as a staff sergeant because in my mos i was i was forager constant specialist so i was combat arms the whole 20 years i was a cav scout um the staff sergeant position is like in my opinion the best position to have uh i conduct all the training uh i've got just about the same amount of delegation authority and and authority that the platoon sergeant has but instead of dictating training i'm leading training so i'm constantly with the soldier i'm always with the soldier i'm the one you know
00:33:04
Speaker
if if something If a soldier doesn't know what they're doing, I took personal responsibility to make sure that they did. So that was my job. And I loved working with with the lower enlisted. I loved working with the with the junior NCOs.
00:33:17
Speaker
So that job, that rank was absolutely perfect. I have no qualms about retiring as staff sergeant and having to be a staff sergeant for, honestly, quite a long period of my career. I think 13 out of my 20 years.
00:33:35
Speaker
um was a staff sergeant.
00:33:40
Speaker
So I got injured and it it took a couple of years of surgeries and things like that before they determined, listen, this is just not gonna this is not goingnna get better. um So we're gonna put you through the medical board processing, which I didn't like hearing because at that point in time, I was at 17 years.
00:34:00
Speaker
And like, you're going to put me, you're going to put me out before I get the chance to retire. Like I'm this close. Um, it was, all know for those of you that aren't aware, the medical board process can take a very long time.
00:34:12
Speaker
Well, about a year, ah but it it was ah a little bit about a year and a half. Um, mine went through and they gave me my rating. It was going to be 80%.
00:34:23
Speaker
But at the time they had a new program called the, uh, continuation of active duty. So if your unit, let's say your first sergeant or your commander or even your sergeant major, if one of them says, listen, this this individual can still be useful to the unit and can still fill a need that the unit has, we're still willing to keep it.
00:34:46
Speaker
Meaning they'd allow me to extend to my 20 year mark so that I could retire, but I have to retire within that 20, in between that year mark.
00:34:59
Speaker
So essentially what happens is they start you back up and at your 19 year mark, they restart the MEB process, the the medical evaluation board process. So you end up getting your your discharge is an honorable discharge military retirement, full retirement.
00:35:16
Speaker
Under medical? No, and that's the thing. It's not listed under medical. well It's still a full retirement. You just happen to have all of your medical benefits taken care of at the same time.
00:35:30
Speaker
So I wasn't one of the people that retired and then had to get like all of his paperwork together and go and turn it in at the VA and wait for 15 years for the VA to figure out how the fuck that's gonna be processed.
00:35:41
Speaker
Mine was all done when I retired. So I got my full retirement and I got my full disability and I get them both. Well, that's a good thing because you, I mean, you think about this, we we both served our country and it's it like you said, it does take a very, very long time.
00:35:58
Speaker
for these folks to look at your records and say, what do you mean you got a hearing issue? When did you get a hearing issue? I don't know. I was an engineer in the Navy. i worked in the engine room. I still have a hearing issue that- like I don't know. Let's hear, when did when did I finish basic? Yeah, right about then.
00:36:15
Speaker
I mean, i can i can pass a hearing test, but I still have this ringing in my ears that's never going to go away. So I don't know what you want me to do. yeah They don't want to rape me for it. That's fine. Well, now they do, from what I understand.
00:36:27
Speaker
Yeah, don't they have that loss sheet going for? They got me at 0% for tinnitus, and which is the ringing in your ears. And I was talking to a a friend of mine who just retired last year, and he goes, oh, no, no, no, that's all changed.
00:36:40
Speaker
He goes, since you got out, since since I got out in 2014, that has completely changed. So he is begging me. He's begging me go get my record worked at again. And I'm like, I'd like to, I just don't feel like it. And he's like, what?
00:36:58
Speaker
i was like, I just don't. I just don't feel like it, man. and like I'm already done with that hassle. I don't want to go through that whole rigmarole and have somebody say that I'm a liar because of I don't think your injury is as bad as as you do kind of like thing. That's the one thing I hate about your disability is you're going to have somebody that's you're doing everything you can just to be taken care of for the sacrifices that you made to your body or your mental health while you were in the military so that you could do the job that you promised the government that you would do.
00:37:31
Speaker
Meanwhile, you've got somebody that's working on behalf of the government, trying to do everything in their power to to prevent you from getting these benefits that should be owed to you for doing that job.
00:37:45
Speaker
And those guys that are trying to prevent that, I think, are are the civilian side of it, because I do have a friend of mine that actually is one of those people that look at your record and tell you, hey, listen, this is what I think you need to go and get looked at.
00:37:59
Speaker
I had to go do a sleep study. I get to now wear a sleep apnea mask because evidently I stopped breathing in the middle of the night. I didn't know this. My wife knew it evidently, but she was trying to keep it a secret.
00:38:12
Speaker
They had me do a sleep study for ah because I suffer from um insomnia. But the problem is they when the when they send you for sleep studies, they said they just send you to a sleep study for the same thing.
00:38:25
Speaker
So I got tested for snoring. They're like, you they're like you you don't snore. I'm like, I'm i'm aware. And they go, but you don't sleep well. I'm like, I'm also aware.
00:38:37
Speaker
Like your brain activity is off the charts while you're sleeping. we don't ah You don't ever fully fall asleep. I said, i I know. They go, well, that's not what we're testing here. I'm like,
00:38:49
Speaker
testing here i'm like
00:38:53
Speaker
Okay, so can we just call it? Can I go home then? And they're like, no, we're going to need you to stay for another night. I'm like like, we really want to study what's going on with you.
00:39:06
Speaker
so they'll they'll you've already said yeah They do it at your house now. So the thing is, is they send they sent me the whole equipment. I had to watch a video. You put this stuff on, you you these monitors.
00:39:18
Speaker
We're going to monitor you. get that whole robotics panel and everything. dang yeah Yeah. You got to put all these stickers all over you. Like my wife, I don't know how this poor woman had to sleep next to me with this machine.
00:39:31
Speaker
I just don't understand it. You know, God bless her for, for doing that, for putting up with that. And Monday I get to go in and then I got to be a robot forever. So while I'm sleeping. So nice.
00:39:45
Speaker
Mark, I'm sorry. I feel like I've been talking with him this entire time. No, it's okay. no it it Hey, you're getting stuff out there that more and more people know. That's Richard. That's one of the guys that's on the podcast with me. on a Right on.
00:40:01
Speaker
Brian, just to let you know that they actually have a lawsuit ah over the hearing now. Yeah, i've seen I've seen that. That's a a hearing plug thing. And you know I had people reach out to me. Hey, did you use these?
00:40:13
Speaker
um I'm not going through that. I'm not going to do that. They'd be like, prove to us, show us the documentation showing that you've damaged your ears while using those ears. I'm like, come on, man. Like you're asking me to bring you up shit from 25 years ago.
00:40:26
Speaker
here's Here's what I will do. Here's what I'll do. I'll take you on a Navy vessel when we're out steaming and I'll let you walk into ah an engine room with no hearing protection and we'll just see what happens. You know, yeah you come out perfect, you let me know that you came out perfect. If you come out going, huh?
00:40:42
Speaker
Huh? Then you can tell me what I'm going through, you know, at that point. So. that's my favorite those thing My favorite was, they're like, so you damaged your, you so you didn't always wear earplugs. I'm like, I'd like you to tell me at what point in time in the middle of an ambush that I should look at the enemy and be like, hey, hold on for a second.
00:41:00
Speaker
I've got to put these in. Hold on, hold on. Stupid fucking earplug case. Yep. but Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:41:10
Speaker
Okay, fire. Okay, cool. Let's go. Like, I don't have time for that shit. Like, Yeah, no. that the Yeah. they They always make it seem like the only things bad that can happen to you happen to you in the garrison environment.
00:41:26
Speaker
Well, what do you mean you weren't wearing your earplugs? I don't know. was in fucking Iraq and a mortar dropped down right next to my head while I was walking on patrol. Like, yeah, not sure if you're aware of this, but the movies do a good job of making you understand how loud those fucking things are.
00:41:44
Speaker
Yep, we can attest to it. So there's two of us here at least right now. And then your niece, Mark, I promise you, will have that same situation years from now. We will have the same conversation about, how's your hearing?
00:41:56
Speaker
She's going like, huh? Well, shit, she's just going to be out in the field sleeping one night and some asshole is going to throw an artillery sim. And that'll go off and that's loud enough on its own. And she, you know what I mean? Like, what was she supposed to do? Throw earplugs in before you're supposed to, right? When you go to sleep, you can do it when you go to sleep, evidently. So, so you do, so you miss your alarm in the morning when you're supposed to be in formation at four.
00:42:21
Speaker
So yeah, we're PTing at 4 PM or 4 AM. m So let's ah make sure everybody's there. So, and im I'm not trying to give anybody the wrong idea. I absolutely and loved my time. And get people ask me all the time, you know, did you like the military? I'll tell people this all the time.
00:42:38
Speaker
It is both the greatest and the worst 20 years of my life. By, by with, without question, the greatest and worst 20 years of my life. I've had some of the best times of my life during while I was in the military. And ah the the best way to answer the question is somebody says, well, what do you miss? I'm like, well, I'll tell you that I'll tell it to you like this.
00:43:00
Speaker
I don't miss the circus, but I certainly miss the monkeys. Yeah. ah i like I like that. I like that. My brother, my brother, Chris was in the the Marines and he ah he says the same thing. He didn't he doesn't miss, you know, being he missed being around the people.
00:43:18
Speaker
He doesn't miss. He doesn't miss the other experience that you have with your fellow soldiers, whether it be men or women or Apache helicopters, whatever kids want to call themselves nowadays.
00:43:30
Speaker
I'm not all on this. He, them, they. No, no. mean oh i did Don't get me wrong. Hey, if that's what you want, great. Just do not expect me to bend over backwards, try to figure out what the fuck you're calling yourself the first time we ever meet.
00:43:44
Speaker
That's all i'm saying. exactly But... it's those shared experiences that you have whether it be on a deployment or out in the field or hell just sitting at the chow hall and talking about a fucked up story that happened over the weekend it's those shared experiences that you have with your fellow soldiers uh or your fellow marines for because the marines always a marine right there's no such thing as a marine that can't be a former marine you're a marine and yes Yep. And there's no, said in and you don't call a Marina soldier. So that's right. But you've got these shared moments with these other people that you've, that you've had throughout your career. And those are, that's what you, you miss. That's what you never forget.
00:44:23
Speaker
And you can say, well, you know, this time that we were in Iraq, great. Who was with you? You're always going to remember those names. oh this time that we were out in the field, what was the name of the guy that you're getting ready to tell a story about? You're going to remember that guy's name. going remember that guy's face. That's what you miss.
00:44:39
Speaker
and And you remember that about the guys that even if you didn't serve with them right next to them and they were in another branch or something like that, but you got an opportunity to to be on a deployment with them like, you know, that person like we had a guy called the Rainmaker. He was a he was a gunny sergeant that was on a ship. He was a Marine on a ship.
00:45:00
Speaker
that took care of the Marines when they had issues. He was, you know, that guy that you went to, if you had an issue with a Marine, that's who you're going to go talk to. We called him the rainmaker because he'd make these guys work out in the birthing, in the in the where they slept, when they pissed him off or when they pissed off the Navy guys because, look, this right now, this is where we're at. This is what we're going to do.
00:45:21
Speaker
So let's, you know, we're closing doors and we're going rain. Yeah. And the one, and the other thing is is, you know, like, I think a lot of civilians don't understand this either. are People that have never been in the military, been around military people is I'll fuck with you. Right. You're you're marine you're you're a Marine.
00:45:40
Speaker
You know, I'm i'm retired Army. You know, I'll fuck with you. You'll fuck with me. We'll talk shit about the Coast Guard. But if somebody else that's never served talks about shit about the Coast Guard, we'll jump on Oh, yeah. We might agree with you. That's our little brother. That's not your little brother. That's my little brother.
00:45:57
Speaker
That's right. right. so i'm sorry I'm sorry. Did you guys have more questions? like I keep going. hunt to yeah less and the It's your show. you we If you want to talk about something, let's talk about it. i' in i i tell you I'll get off on tangents and in ah in a heartbeat. Hit me up with a question. Let's see what we got. now see This one was funny.
00:46:17
Speaker
I identify as a meat popsicle. I had to laugh at that one when it came up. I wasn't trying to laugh at what you guys were saying. Grimlock's too heavy for a popsicle. Grimlock would identify as a meat frozen water balloon.
00:46:34
Speaker
Okay. well Well, we're going to deter off of the military now. Because I know that you guys, I know between you two that you'd probably talk about it for a while. We got stories We got stories. We can do this for three hours. All
TikTok Journey and Community Support
00:46:48
Speaker
right. Well, the first time I actually, the first person I actually seen on TikTok was you.
00:46:55
Speaker
And of course it was the one, well, course, you had quite a few of them at that time, but one of them was your wife hitting you with the pain. Well, that was, that was after my first account.
00:47:08
Speaker
Well, it was one, there was one of the ones, cause I know that you had, um, you had quite a few on there, but you also said that you were just coming back from a suspension or whatever from TikTok because of, some snowflakkees um, Um,
00:47:27
Speaker
Why don't you tell everybody what actually happened? are Are you talking about when my first account got deleted? well Well, yeah, let's go with your first account and then we'll go with, um you know, and normally what, you know, how many accounts have you had that's been, you know, I've had, I've only had, I've only had two. I've only had, I've had three deleted.
00:47:48
Speaker
So my very first one that I had, I learned very quickly what the TikTok terms of services were. I only had that for a week. and uh then i uh had my what i call my original account which is they call me toby the day that that account hit 80k and 3 million likes uh it was deleted by tick tock so that's when they call me toby 2 was created and we started kind of
00:48:20
Speaker
um we decided that we'd try to change around the content. And i was like, you know, I really want to expand everything that I had done up to that point was pretty much i had just started getting into making original content. And I think one of the reasons why i got deleted is because a lot of my original content was kind of like lashing out at Tik Tok for the, their algorithm changes and the way that they were treating creators. And that's really when the first big boom of like, everybody was getting deleted.
00:48:49
Speaker
Like, for no reason, um just out of nowhere, you'd worry. You'd wake up in the morning and, oh shit, my account's gone, but you'd never gotten a video taken down or anything like that. They were just deleting everybody. um So i had made I had made a note of it during a live. I was like, I fucking hope they they delete my account.
00:49:09
Speaker
at the At the time, this was still really early in TikTok, because I started TikTok September 2018, and TikTok had started August of 2018. and i' had gotten i got real popular real quick um had a really large following a great group of people um i'm sure you guys have heard it called toby's army i didn't name it that they named themselves that um i just i mean there's no sense i'm fighting the crowd so i was like all right so this is toby's army you know we're going and um
00:49:42
Speaker
And I made the statement once I was like, I fucking dare TikTok to go ahead and delete me. Not not as in saying that you won't do it, but see what the fuck happens. And I started going after TikTok hard. I made ah I made a bunch of videos with a ah with an exercise ball that we called that I had written on it. Community guidelines.
00:50:03
Speaker
annie And I would I would make videos where I'm sitting there talking shit and all sudden I get hit with it or I'm holding it and I throw it at somebody across the screen and somebody else would do wet at getting smacked by it.
00:50:15
Speaker
um I was um spoofing what it was like to work at the tick tock headquarters, you know, setting up algorithms and then everything crashing and shit like that. And then one day i got up and I had just hit 80 K and I was like, oh, this is awesome.
00:50:31
Speaker
So this is in this is in June of 2019. So we're talking eight months, 80 K. So I was making about 10 K a month following up at that point.
00:50:44
Speaker
And but I was at 2.8 mil. I was like, I'm going to make a I'm going to make a thank you video when I hit three million likes. And. about ah half an hour later i open up my phone i see that i've got three million likes i go to make a video i go to post it it says that you can't you know it like oh there's an error so i tried to repost it still says that there's an error and i was like interesting so i was like well i'll just keep it in my drafts and i'll sit there and i'll i went and surfed and i was trying to leave comments on people's videos and it was saying i couldn't that there was some sort of error and i'd seen this before
00:51:20
Speaker
um And it was just like a glitch where I'd log out of the account and log back in and then everything was fixed. I go to log out and log back in and says this account no longer exists. Well, now by that time i had been permanently live banned back in January on They Call Me Toby, which is why They Call Me Toby 2 was created to begin with. So I had a place that I could go live.
00:51:44
Speaker
And I logged into They Call Me Toby 2. I went to go look at look for They Call Me Toby. and It didn't exist. Could not find it. So i went to I went to an old video that I had duetted with myself And I clicked on the name that was in the duet and it brought me to the page that you guys see now when it's a blank face and zero, zero, zero across the board. And it says this account has been deleted for community guideline violations.
00:52:13
Speaker
So I ended up making a video saying, Hey guys, I'm just letting you know, i wanted to thank everybody for the 80 K and the 3 million likes on Tik TOK. However, Tik TOK saw a fit to delete my account.
00:52:24
Speaker
I'm fine with it. ah I'm just letting you guys know that if you want to continue to see my my content, we're going to keep creating over here on They Call Me Toby 2 for the next three weeks.
00:52:35
Speaker
It was it was a shit storm of. hashtag bring bring Toby back hashtag Toby's army. I couldn't. It would take me three hours to go through my for you page and not see something um about it.
00:52:52
Speaker
Somebody posting their duets with me or somebody making a video saying to bring me back. And it was an absolute fucking it was an absolute nightmare. I got um I've got people now that I know work up at Tick Tock that say they're not allowed to mention my account.
00:53:10
Speaker
They're not allowed to talk about it. I'm like severely hated up there. The first account, though that nevada account that was deleted. Just yours in general. Just me in general. um So, you know, i was like, well, I really like to make that original content. So we're gonna keep making that. We did several different types. We did these polar pop cups stitches and we did a couple of, we did what we called the drunk Toby series where I'm talking to my drunk self And my wife can't see it because I'm just it's in my head. And I didn't get my ass kicked for that by the wife. And then we moved on to the mirror fact videos, which you see those all over the place. Now people started doing that.
00:53:54
Speaker
And then ah then we started doing the pan hit videos and the pan hit videos, you know, was the last thing to really take off. And that's what got us up to the one point eight million. And then it just plateaued from there.
00:54:05
Speaker
It just died. And now that account loses, I think, like eight hundred followers a day. Yeah, it's something like, oh, you're you're you're committing a ah domestic violence. Domestic violence. Domestic violence or glorifying domestic violence.
00:54:22
Speaker
So dumb. And if you're out there and you're listening and you think that way, then get fucked. Because it's like comedy. i a Yeah, it was it was definitely comedy. Then you had to make one to tell people, hey, look, you know this is fucking fake. You're squeezing it, hitting it, and all this. and and And TikTok took that down.
00:54:42
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, is there supposed to be a warning before anybody goes live anywhere anymore? I mean... I don't get it. I get my I get my live shut down. I'll get it back. i'll I'll have it up for two days and it'll go down for another week. I'll get it back for a day. It'll go down for another week. I'll get it back. I'll be live for an hour and it'll go. It'll get taken down for another week. Like it's just it's become redundant.
00:55:05
Speaker
It's so at the end. So at the end of your live, you just got to say, hey, stay tuned in two weeks. We'll be back. Yeah. well I mean, not even that, because it just cuts out. Just I'll be sitting there in the middle of a discussion. All a sudden my liable, you know, say this live has been shut down for community for community guideline violation. Wow.
00:55:22
Speaker
Wow. You've got people that don't like him. You know, that was one of my questions that I wrote down to that. I wanted to ask you, ah how often do you guys go live? You or you and your wife.
00:55:34
Speaker
And then what do you like about being on live? what do you know like we actually i i for the longest time uh recently i was going live every day with another uh good friend of mine that i've known since 2018 uh shout uh b.a lewis 80 uh 1988. so goes her name is brit but so She, uh, she and I were going live every morning. Unfortunately, I started a new job, so I haven't been able to go live with her. And I think she's kind of missing me because she's messaging me going, listen, I just want to know what's going on with your life right now. Like you haven't talked to me. I'm like, I'm so sorry.
00:56:10
Speaker
The first week, week of going back to work is, is a motherfucker. But I actually, I i like the problem is, is, uh, TikTok has sucked the creativity and the motivation to be creative out of the wife and I. That's the biggest issue. So we have difficulty.
00:56:29
Speaker
Like, we'll come up with a great idea. We'll set up the camera. And then we just go. o You just want to try it tomorrow? And we're just like, because we won't even start filming. We just don't. we're We're not motivated anymore. But going live allows me to connect with the same people or the people that. You know, like the people that you see in here, you know, Grim and Lillette and Richie and these guys, they all come to the live. And i i love that interaction. That means more to me than, you know, a video hitting a million views is, yeah, great and all, but that's that's just one-offs of people that just happen to have that push to their For You page. I'm not getting genuine interaction. I like going in.
00:57:08
Speaker
telling stories to the audience and getting their input and having them ask questions and having a good time and telling stories that's that's the best that's the best part of being on social media is when you get a a community that's built itself around you and showing appreciation to them and spending time with them that's why we host the meetup that we do every year
00:57:33
Speaker
that's how That's one of the ways that I got him to, you know, I asked him if he wanted to be on the podcast. He says, well, hit me up on ah Instagram. That's how I've been trying to get a lot of people um try to get more guests for us to you know interview.
00:57:48
Speaker
like we're we're And we're here to grow this podcast and we're we're trying to get that notification, you know, the the notoriety and everything out to what we see from you guys too. Because of like a lot of people that I work with, they were like, who are you talking about? And then minute I show the video, everybody's on their phone. Oh my God, I got to watch more videos.
00:58:07
Speaker
I did that with you. i did that with Jason Banks. I've done that with, I don't know. I mean, know there's land and so many with Landon. Yeah. landon hard And then I was like, guys, you got to watch this. I mean, this is so good, ah you know, and and then they start watching it and it's like, yeah, now you got new followers. And that's what we're trying to do here, too.
00:58:29
Speaker
You know, we're going to grow, we're going grow this podcast and that's my goal. I'm not here to, to keep it at 12 viewers. I want to, I want to grow this thing and I want it to be 112 viewers at a time a day.
00:58:41
Speaker
So I know you guys like to keep this to right around an hour, but God damn it. I know we've got more questions. Let's, let's. No, we're going to go longer. Normally we go an hour or so, but you know what? no you're only with it so we normally we go an hour so but you know what i don't care today. Hey, we can take we can take questions from these folks that are listening to. Yeah. So god no no, no, no, don't do that. Don't. Don't do that. Don't do that. is about to happen hold on I know all of them. I know all of these names.
00:59:11
Speaker
Brian, the one thing one of the other reasons why I like Toby is um a couple of years ago, I had ah I put out a ah a thing on TikTok for my grandfather for his 95th birthday, and he was one of the first ones to, you know,
00:59:26
Speaker
ah congratulate him, tell him that he was proud, you know, that he was a a military World War II vet and stuff like that. they for shirt I remember you telling me about that. That was my, that was one of my highest ones yet. And, ah you know, and unfortunately my grandfather didn't make it to, you know, 96.
00:59:45
Speaker
He passed away a month before he turned 96, but he loved that video. He loved watching all these people, you know salute him and all that and it it was just awesome um And then there was one other video that got me that Toby did and it was about ah a girl was crying because of her hairstyle people didn't like it and he told her flat-out don't don't give a fuck what anybody says basically um they're just jealous basically of what they see and you know he was showing pictures of his wife and saying she's had all different types of hairstyles and stuff like that and you know it it just shows you what type of person he is he's he's not one to just sit there and you know the thing i try to the the message i try to pass on to people the most is these are just strangers on the internet
01:00:37
Speaker
do. They're never going to meet you. They have no influence on your personal life. They have no direct contact with you. So, you know, when you look at a comment that's put on one of your videos, or even if somebody makes a video about you, who gives a fuck? So the the the thing is, is somebody's opinion only matters if you respect that person right you have to respect the person to respect their opinion if you don't respect somebody enough that you'd ask them for their advice then you don't have to respect their criticism of you either let them fucking have their opinion great congratulations you have an opinion it only matters to you and whoever else is wanting to listen to you but it doesn't matter to me it doesn't affect me and i'm not going to let it change the way that i think about myself
01:01:25
Speaker
And I think I think if more people felt that way instead of looking at these criticisms, i mean, because really what people do is they they try to attack something that is going to be a soft target.
01:01:37
Speaker
Right. It's going to be something that you can't change about yourself, whether it be your height or you know, your nose or maybe you've got a deformity or something like that. But people are always looking to try to take the low blow and because they know that it's something that you've probably struggled with your whole life and they think it's going to affect you. And unfortunately for a lot of people, it does because they don't have that self-confidence that they need to just say, you know what? Who the fuck are you? Why do I care?
01:02:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's I mean, online bullying is is absolutely trash. I mean, if you're if you're willing to do that, then you deserve to get your ass kicked in real life.
01:02:15
Speaker
Because and you're hiding behind something, you know, like stop well and telling people. One of the other things too, is we give people this power. We we give them the power. One, by by calling them something that they want to be called by. We call them cyber bullies or we call them online bullies or we call them bullies in general. Listen, if you're on the internet,
01:02:32
Speaker
If you and I were never to meet, Brian, and all you ever did was harass the shit out of me in my comment sections online. Okay. First of all, nice thing about social media is there's a block button for every fucking thing. Great. Keep making accounts. I'll keep blocking them. I don't give a fuck.
01:02:47
Speaker
But the other thing is, is you're not bullying me. You have to be able to be in my physical presence by definition to be bullied. It's cyber harassment. You're being harassed by somebody online, but you're allowing yourself to be harassed online.
01:03:01
Speaker
You're allowing it by not blocking these people, by not blocking them out, by not just deleting their comments and moving the fuck on, you know, you're you're opening it up. And the people that drive me the craziest are the ones that make video responses to these fucking comments or stitch or duet somebody that's that's making hateful video about somebody else.
01:03:25
Speaker
Dude, let them say what they want. Who gives a shit? That's what we got ready to have a speech for, but you know. like a number of The number of people that the only reason Vegan Teacher got fucking famous and and blew up to 2 million followers on TikTok was because she's fucking insane.
01:03:43
Speaker
And people felt the need to expose her and show people who this is. And now it's a train wreck, right? It's ah it's a car wreck. Everybody wants to see the car wreck. Well, I don't want to miss her next crazy post. So I'm going to follow her.
01:03:58
Speaker
And she blows up and that causes all of her stuff to go out and and get exposure. If this woman was part of the creators the creator market marketplace or the creator payment program,
01:04:14
Speaker
by people even By engaging on her videos and telling her how crazy she is and stitching and duetting her videos and sending them to people saying, look at how fucking insane this lady is. You are making that woman money hand over fist. How do you get somebody like her to go away?
01:04:30
Speaker
You fucking ignore it. You go, oh, it's not welling she's insane. Pass. Pass. Yeah. that's breath in yeah block you know don't show me this content anymore like but we create we create our own problems and then we cry about the problems that have been created by us i will always figure out a way around my problems so i mean if i if i've created the problem if it's a post or something that i did i'm gonna look for a way to take it down or i'm gonna look for a way to block
01:05:02
Speaker
whatever's coming in. You know, you see that a lot on, you know, you post something for sale on, I don't know if you have, but I posted something on sale on a marketplace, get rid of my motorcycle. Here's the deal. It doesn't run. i bought a fuel pump for it. This is what we got to do. blah, blah. blah I had a guy absolutely insane blow my stuff up. And to a point where I was just like, Oh, you know what? I'm taking it down. I'm just going to go ahead and and fix it and ride it myself.
01:05:29
Speaker
Like two days later, hey, I see you still got the post up. You want to sell it to me? No, go away. Get hell out here. I sold it. It's gone. You know? So if that guy is watching, you.
01:05:41
Speaker
Yeah, the thing is trolls only have power as long as you feed them. you know they They only have power is as long as you give them power. And if you give them the exposure that they're looking for, they've already won. by By giving a reaction, they've already won. That's all that they want. They just want your reaction. Block them. Move the fuck on. and That's how you kill a troll. You don't feed it.
01:06:00
Speaker
Yeah, if you if you're getting negative comments in your in your feed and stuff like that, I guarantee you it's not anything that you're going to sit there and go, you know what, let me – Let me go online real quick and then go ahead and address this. I don't think that you or Angela would do that.
01:06:12
Speaker
Or I'm sorry, Angel, I'm so sorry. we You or Angel. I think we've done it just a few times in the past, but it wasn't necessarily the trolls. It's like, we get tired of of certain comments. And what we make what we do really is we don't respond to a specific comment. We just get so many of like the same comment that we feel the need to address it, such as we make videos about the animals and everybody thinks it's witty to be like, oh, that's good looking dinner. you know what I mean? But those are all that.
01:06:39
Speaker
I saw that too. And I was like, yeah, that was one of the questions that but that was one of the things we weren't going to say to you was, are you going to eat your animals? Because oh yeah I can't, because quite honestly, we're not i i I joke with my kids about the chickens and stuff like that and say, okay, you raise them, we're going eat them for dinner. Now, if I have to raise the damn thing, I can't eat it.
01:07:00
Speaker
yeah Because one, but one i have a wife and three kids that won't let me. two i fed it i've uh nurtured it i've done everything no i just can't especially once they give it a name you know just yeah i mean don't get don't get me wrong if if we really wanted to buy chickens and raise them for for meat we probably would keep getting the same type of chickens and we'd be trying to get more roosters Because roosters are going to be larger. They're going have better meat. They're going more meat on them. Like we've got three Brahmas right now that we need to sell Brahma roosters because they're just out of fucking control. But I know whoever buys them is not buying those things for breeding purposes.
01:07:42
Speaker
i just sell I just tell them, look, I don't care what the fuck you're getting them for. Just don't don't come about it. Yeah, just please don't tell me. yeah Just take take the damn roosters. My wife's named them.
01:07:53
Speaker
Don't tell me what you're doing with them because going to feel bad. not not Not because I give a shit, but because she's going to feel bad. You're going make me secondhand feel badness.
01:08:05
Speaker
I was going to say you're going to feel bad, too, because you know that that was your that was your kid, basically. That was one of your – you raised that thing. I'm not going lie. come on. No, listen. We – no listen wait We were the same way. I had our very first rooster was a foghorn, and he had those giant fucking spikes on the back of his... Is that the reason why my rooster's so fucking big?
01:08:28
Speaker
yeah. Oh, yeah. You got a foghorn. I got a big-ass rooster, and I mean, it's just... We only have one now because we had two, and I had three of them in the pen, and we're like, no, there's not enough here for them, so we got rid of them.
01:08:47
Speaker
And then we had to get rid of a duck because it was trying to ah i was trying to mate with the damn ah hens. That could have been interesting. I'd have liked to see how that turned out.
01:08:59
Speaker
Yeah, just just let it. Ducks are rapists. Ducks are serial rapists. I'm telling you right now. They'll fuck everything and anything. I've got a duck right now that tries to have sex with the goose, the chickens, and one of the turkeys. like i like wouldn't um Have your fun, bro. Get your get your rocks off.
01:09:15
Speaker
nothing It wouldn't have been so bad. Yeah, it wouldn't have been so bad, but he was he was going after their necks, and it was making them really raw and stuff and making them look nasty. So they said it was time for him to go.
01:09:26
Speaker
We've had two of our hens have had to wear jackets. They've got little jacket capes that have little shoulder protectors on them so that they can't get pecked off. It's bad. It can get bad. I didn't even think of that.
01:09:40
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. It must have been funny. Toby, if you can go back and tell your 18-year-old self, give your 18-year-old self any advice, what advice would you give your 18-year-old self?
Financial Advice and Personal Reflections
01:09:51
Speaker
Don't go on TikTok or... No, no, no. Financial advice. The advice that I wish that I would have gotten that I made sure to give my son before he started his first job.
01:10:01
Speaker
What I would what ah what I would have told myself is no matter what job you've you've got for the rest of your life, any job that you ever get, take 25 percent of your paycheck and throw it into a Roth IRA.
01:10:16
Speaker
forever from now until the time you decide to stop working if i would have done that when i first started the military and i would have taken 25 of my paycheck and i would have thrown it into an ira or a 401k of some sort one you would have been doing it so long you would have never realized that money's gone especially if it's automatic deduction from your paycheck so and everybody's got the opportunity to do that two every time you get a pay raise you're still going to see a raise in pay you're still gonna see a raise in pay.
01:10:46
Speaker
you're just It's not gonna be what you would be making if you weren't taking 25% out every check. So for the rest of your life, you're gonna be used to, first of all, you're gonna be used to living on less money.
01:10:59
Speaker
You're gonna be saving up exponential amounts of money throughout your entire life. And you're never gonna notice that it's gone. So if I would have done that, by the time I retired from the military, we totaled it up. I sat down with a friend of mine who's actually a banker and he's like, well, it's let's figure it out. And we literally went and looked at every pay scale from when I started 1994 in the military.
01:11:21
Speaker
And then every time I got promoted, what what i would have been earning monthly and we kept going and he goes, all right, so, had you have done this 25 of every paycheck and just put it into a standard we'll say a standard growth rate 401k and we'll say that the growth rate averaging this you know between now and then going to be less the average is going to less than what you'd be making now but it's going to be higher than it would when you first started he goes you you would have had approximately 3.7 million dollars yeah in 20 yeah in twenty years
01:11:54
Speaker
20 years, $3.7 million dollars by saving 25% of that. same we We actually had that same conversation when I was getting out of the military. Like how much did you save?
01:12:08
Speaker
What do you mean? Yeah. If you would have taken 25% at the time was smoker. and at the time i was a smoker And, you know, we looked at that, too. Like, hey, if you quit smoking now, this is how much you would save a year.
01:12:19
Speaker
Yeah. You know, I just recently quit smoking. So I'm going tell you, man, and i I feel good. I'm OK with you smoking. I don't care that you smoke. i don't care that anybody smokes. Myself, personally, I found it as a life-changing achievement because, honestly, i smoked that through high school. Right, Mark? I played football.
01:12:39
Speaker
And I was a smoker. I was retarded. don't know what I was thinking. I was like, how? ah Supposedly, with swimming, it opens up your lungs somehow. I don't know I give up I'm out. I don't know about that.
01:12:53
Speaker
So, but anyway, I gave that advice to my son and and he's, he's followed that to the T to the T since he was 16. He's now 21. So, so he's going to be a millionaire very soon.
01:13:05
Speaker
Another, what does he got? Another 16 years. Well, not at the pay rate that he's making right now, but yeah. you you Don't worry. There's raises that are going to come. you might by the time never time that boy is retired, by the time that boy is retired, he's going to have more than enough to pass along to the family and the Duskin family tree will be well taken care of for plenty of years.
01:13:27
Speaker
I had another question that one of the guys from my my job asked me to ask you. They watched you and your wife on this show on the on TikTok.
01:13:37
Speaker
They wanted to know what's one of your biggest pet peeves with one another. One of yours versus one of hers kind of thing. My biggest pet peeve with her? Yeah.
01:13:50
Speaker
And then her biggest with you. her o
01:13:57
Speaker
i mean you got i'm sure right in the face of I'm sure the list of her pet peeves towards me are far greater than the ones that I have of her. um I'm going to say.
01:14:11
Speaker
Good God. You know what? I'm not going lie to you. She's just fucking messy. She's messy. i'm I'm I'm I'm what you would call um disorganized chaos or or like organized chaos because I've got severe ADHD like it's bad. But so I look like I've everything's always cluttered. No matter where I've been, it's cluttered. And the reason why it is is because I work.
01:14:39
Speaker
I work in a mindset of as long as I see it, I'll always know where it is. So everything's cluttered because everything's spread out and it's just everywhere.
01:14:49
Speaker
You know where it's at. right Yeah. I don't store stuff in bins and stuff like that. Her, she's just, she is just, she's just messy. This woman is messy. Like you always hear about women complaining that their their husbands just dropped their clothes on the floor and this and that. Right first right where you stand.
01:15:09
Speaker
I don't only want to start with the sink in the bathroom. <unk> We're not going to start with that. But clothes all over the floor, hanging off the end of the bed. i can't go a day with going through the living room without finding like three or four pairs of her socks just laying around. Like that's, that's about the only pet peeve I have with her. Like that's, that's really about it, but it's enough for me to just go.
01:15:35
Speaker
ah So you get the Twitch. Yeah. Yeah. It's enough for me to Twitch. Alright, so you got to vent yours. you got and she's going to watch this back and she's going to see that. So, before you get hit with another frying pan, what do you think hers is? i'm I'm sure one of her pet peeves is like, i'm I really am kind of a... I'm i extremely competitive.
01:15:56
Speaker
But I'm also somewhat of a perfectionist. So... on the daily, I'm correcting this woman for the dumbest shit that doesn't need, you know, really like well, you know that. Well, actually, like I know it annoys the shit out of her. I like to pick on her. I like to joke and tease her.
01:16:14
Speaker
um A lot of our like a lot of people say, how do you come up with some of the stuff that you come up with? Some of it's from memes. You know what I mean? Some of it's from maybe seeing somebody else. But believe it or not, a lot of them are from genuine conversations where I'll say something. and She goes get the camera.
01:16:29
Speaker
like, excuse me? She's like, get the camera. I'm going to hit you with a fucking pan. I'm going to throw something at you. I'm like, ooh, get the fan. Get the shoe. Yeah, and that's that's how she can get her frustration out for saying some stupid shit.
01:16:43
Speaker
Because she, I mean, I've been hit with, I've got a cookie sheet that is so dented. Oh my And she's like, we got to, I got replace, we got to throw this out. i'm like, we are not throwing that out because that's worn in now. And I'd prefer you hit me with that shit than a brand new one.
01:16:57
Speaker
So we have a dedicated cookie sheet that I think I've been hit with in like three or four videos. But I've been hit in the face with a box fan. I've been hit in the face with a standing oscillating fan. um um My most popular video is on They Call Me Toby 2, and that's I got hit in the back with a vacuum cleaner.
01:17:14
Speaker
That was on the fifth take. So I got hit with that vacuum cleaner four more times before that. hard pass yeah so but i i do it because one we both really enjoy it but two a lot of times i know it's because i'm like i'll i'll have said it or i'll be laughing so hard just thinking about it she's like you would say this i'm like yeah i'd fucking say this for real like well well we're an hour and 20 minutes into it almost is there anything that you want to talk about
01:17:49
Speaker
before we ask any other questions. Shit, I think I've been talking. We appreciate it. this is your This is your show. We're just here to ask random questions. We're over here talking shit with you, man, and we appreciate it.
01:18:04
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We absolutely appreciate it. We'll tell you right there.
Hobbies, Social Media, and Acting
01:18:07
Speaker
Okay, so you can I'm sure you guys can see the comment. Toby's a grunt. Oh, yeah sorry yeah. And that's the thing is, I really... so I try to be the one thing I can't stand is is fake people. Right.
01:18:19
Speaker
Like I don't understand the people that are on social media, you know, acting one way. And then if you meet them in person, they're a completely different type of personality. You know, I don't I don't believe in pandering to an audience, the audience that you need. You don't need to pander if If you're being genuine, because the people that the people that you're going to want to surround yourself with the people that you want to you know be associated with, they're going to they're going to gravitate to you based on who you are as a person.
01:18:46
Speaker
So if you're being fake or you're being like super smiley or you're being a certain way, people are going to come over to you and and and and they're going to you're going to get a ah bunch of people that you don't really associate with if that's not who you are.
01:18:58
Speaker
But I'm a grumpy son of a bitch. I'm i'm your standard grumpy old vet, you know. um But at the same time, I like to have a good time. I'm a very compassionate person. I'm very understanding person. But at the same time, i don't fuck around. I don't take anybody's shit. I tell it like it is. i don't hold back. I'm very sarcastic. And I think I get the right people. But I do like, I like helping people in the fact of like trying to get people together in I think TikTok is a haven for people that feel alone, people that feel like maybe left out in in society or or in social groups and in social norms. I find that there's a lot of individuals on TikTok that feel like they don't belong somewhere else.
01:19:49
Speaker
And it's really cool to kind of just be myself and see those people tell me, you know, it's nice to feel like I'm part of something. And I'm not I'm not telling these people to come and be part of this. They just feel part of it because they feel like they can associate and they can belong.
01:20:05
Speaker
And I think it's important to have that connection with people. So, yeah, I mean, that's that's that's what she means. She's she's grump, but he's our grump. I could be an asshole to anybody. I'm I'm everybody's essentially everybody's little brother.
01:20:19
Speaker
Right. I'll talk shit and they'll talk shit to me. But if somebody from outside of the group says something, it doesn't matter if I tell everybody, hey, everybody, just ignore that person who gives a shit about them.
01:20:30
Speaker
It's too late. It's too late. There's 500 videos being made by fucking by 500 people. and And there's a new hashtag. and Just like everybody's attacking this person. I'm like, stop. That's not who we are. We don't do that.
01:20:44
Speaker
We just shit. It's too late. And now now it's a thing. There's a bus and it's coming. Yeah. there's Yeah. Ask him about fishing.
01:20:57
Speaker
Grimlock says, ask him about fishing. I love going fishing. So born and raised in Minnesota. Of course, I love fishing. Ice fishing. ah Not a huge fan of ice fishing. Don't mind don't mind hanging out in the in in grandpa's ice ice shack with him, having a couple of beers behind dad's back and and ah watching watching the the hockey game while listening to some music and just letting the the lines sit down there. But yeah.
01:21:25
Speaker
uh we'd um and i've got a pond that's right next to my house uh when i need ah a stress-free day i'll pick up the poles and i'll walk over to the pond and i'll i'll be out there all day let's get a little bass pond nice
01:21:45
Speaker
mark i have to step out for just one minute i have to step out i'll be right back oh did your bladder get to you yeah
01:21:56
Speaker
So Mark, what other questions you got for me? Oh, hell. I threw it too. I was sitting there. I'm trying to think of questions. I mean, you've answered a lot of the questions. I mean well one of the things I was going to ask you is what made you decide to go on TikTok and YouTube? um So i was looking for an outlet.
01:22:18
Speaker
Really? um One, I just like to I like I like to be creative, um but it was I was having a particularly difficult time.
01:22:29
Speaker
um That that was in the fall. Fall is always a rough time for me. That's where I lost the majority of the guys that I served with um in conflict ah was was around the fall time. So it gets it can be pretty dark and I i like to look for distractions.
01:22:46
Speaker
And, um you know, I saw TikTok kick popping up on my Facebook. um Couldn't avoid it. And originally it was, it was just girls like doing these, these like these underage girls doing dances and like skimpy outfits. And I'm like, I don't need to see this shit. But then one day I saw somebody, they had an ad on their TikTok that wasn't that.
01:23:08
Speaker
And it was somebody actually doing a, ah they were essentially lip syncing to a family guy sketch. And I was like, wait minute, you can do that. And I was like, well, let me go check it out. And I did a couple and I just absolutely loved it. I pulled myself out of, out of my head space and got creative and just kind of And then once I realized you could go live, you know, I went live with a couple of people. had some ah people that I'm still friends with to this day. Shortly after I started, they came down and visited Zombie Dave, ah Grim Wolf.
01:23:42
Speaker
And he used to go by the name the Riddler, but now he goes by Good Grief George. Those are all really good friends of mine as well on TikTok that I've known since 2018. ah Very close to me. If they ever need anything, they know all they got to is ask. And it just kind of it developed like that.
01:23:59
Speaker
um As far as YouTube goes, I'm mainly on YouTube because i am on a podcast with other people, but my wife and I really like doing these video games and stuff. Unfortunately, for like the last five months, we kind of had to put a ah a halt on our our YouTube uploading because life got busy because I'm also an actor.
01:24:19
Speaker
um Don't get excited. It's for like really low B rated movies. but We know a guy. yeah be between between um you know filming movies and trying to do tick tock and doing the podcast and then my everyday life and now work you know and then trying to sit down against my wife's schedule and try to get us both together at the same time for a long enough period of time that we could either watch a movie or have her play a video game so that we can record it and then editing it and everything else just
01:24:55
Speaker
i found I found myself getting in over my head and not having any time to just myself. So I was like, something has to give. If it's got to be one of my channels, fine.
01:25:07
Speaker
But you know, I've got commitments to friends. I've got a beard laws on, on Tik TOK who that's the, that's the podcast that I'm on every Tuesday and Thursday. I'm with my really good friend, Matt goes by the name of beard laws on Tik TOK. That's his YouTube channel here is beard laws.
01:25:22
Speaker
So every Tuesday and Thursday I'm on a podcast with him and I promised him I've made You know, I've let him know he can rely on me. So that will never I'm never going to pull away from that. The two things that that I pull away from will always be the same two things.
01:25:38
Speaker
Tick tock and YouTube. I'll completely disappear from those two fucking things before anything else. I lived an entire life without him. I can I can just as easily walk away.
01:25:50
Speaker
it's not, it's not difficult to me, but if I got to sacrifice something so that my mental health or my wife's mental health, or, you know, the, my relationship can get stronger with my wife and spend more quality time with her and my son, I'd rather do that than worry about who hasn't seen one of my videos and for however long.
01:26:14
Speaker
Okay. And that's how, uh, I, I first started off playing with on Xbox, and I made some great friends on there that I'm still friends to today because I used to play Friday the 13th. That's what got me out of my funk because a few years before that, I had a hip replacement, and I just went into a big funk, and I did stupid things, and you know I just went down a dark hole.
01:26:44
Speaker
so i started going on xbox and i found friday the 13th bought the game waiting for it to come out of course and then i met a few good friends and you know it was like after that it was okay let's uh do a podcast and then we started doing a podcast and then i was like oh i want to do my own i want to do my own with uh you know and then brian calls me up and says uh so you want to do a podcast with me sure perfect timing yeah
01:27:15
Speaker
i mean i'll I'll tell you one thing that social media has done to me. Social media has aged the shit out of me. so When I first started on TikTok, i had a side my hair, i had solid solid black hair.
01:27:27
Speaker
I am going to show you that that is no longer the case. Is that the silver box coming out? weird i had no gray I had no gray in my beard or my hair, and now it's like solid gray. this is actually Believe it or not, and you guys will love this,
01:27:43
Speaker
Believe it or not, this is half and half. You see that? Yeah. Half and a half. So one half of my head turned gray just from being on TikTok.
01:27:55
Speaker
Thanks, TikTok. Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot, TikTok. Thanks a lot, TikTok. one half of my hair head is gray. I got gray all up in my beard now. Like it's getting to the point where it's growing. The the gray is growing in so fast.
01:28:06
Speaker
I can't, I got to make sure that the director that I work with understands that we got to do everything in one shoot because I can't come back three months later and it not be noticeable. You said you're doing movies now. What kind of movies are you doing?
01:28:20
Speaker
B-rated horror movies for the most part. So I've been in one where actually one of my one of my TikTok, I used to do cosplay quite a bit on TikTok as well. I had a character by the name of Psychotic. He's got his face painted up like a skull and he's pretty much a badass. He was a demon.
01:28:38
Speaker
He is actually the co-star of a movie. um It's called um the world of spade spade versus psychotic. um That's available on Amazon prime.
01:28:52
Speaker
um And then there's a there's another one called the fright before Christmas. um I just play a drunk guy on that one. It's just fun. um Fake vomit.
01:29:05
Speaker
So much fake vomit. Fucking so much fake vomit. That's right before Christmas. fright before christmas yeah and then uh let's hear i was in a trailer for manos i'm in another i'm in another series that's called ele or it's extinction level event um most of the stuff i've been in that we've filmed it hasn't even been hasn't even been released um It's been in production.
01:29:33
Speaker
It's either been in production or post production for four years. The majority of the stuff that I've done. Like we're still in hell. Yeah. We're still waiting for things to get released, finalized, edit you know, editing, or there's, there's always something, but there's, there's about, there's about four or five that I've been in.
01:29:50
Speaker
And then there's about another four or five that I'm scheduled to be in as well as one where Angel and I are the stars. it's going to be That's not horror. i mean it's I guess it's kind of horror, but it's more of what you would call a suspense thriller.
01:30:05
Speaker
where what's that one What's that one called? so that we can That one's going to be called Breathless. and I essentially just keep killing Angel throughout the entire movie.
01:30:16
Speaker
A killer cloner, killer cloner, killer cloner. Oh, so a dream for most married people. Yeah. Oh, come on. It is. oh come on it is you know I mean, he's not wrong. She gets to come back to life. Release dates will be in three to five business years. as little as of Business years.
01:30:36
Speaker
Yeah, so we we've actually we actually just never twenty dollars we actually just had an interview with ah with a gentleman named Peter Anthony who has done a couple of fan films for a little movie called Friday the 13th.
01:30:51
Speaker
So if you get a chance to check that out. Roseblood. You got Roseblood. You got Fall of Camp Blood. You have Vengeance 1 and 2.
01:31:02
Speaker
And then he's got some more. He's got a bunch more that's still being released and stuff. And and he's got a new one. He's got a new one that he let us know about. He told everybody on the podcast. So we'll go ahead and shout out. It's called Laugh. But that's...
01:31:18
Speaker
ah but thats That's the yeah the the one that we're currently filming right now is called Night of the Blue Moon. um So the director that I work with, his name is John Johnson.
01:31:30
Speaker
He directed the remake of the what is considered the worst movie of all time. Plan 9.
01:31:39
Speaker
I don't know. um really old movie plan nine from outer space was the the name of the original one he remade it and just called it plan nine and that's probably that's like one of his biggest that's probably his biggest movie
01:31:56
Speaker
might have to check that out yeah night of the blue moon with a k okay yeah okay yeah ah've I've got my IMDB is on my is on my the the links in my bio, and you you can see it listed in there. he's He should have it listed in there.
01:32:14
Speaker
Okay, very good. Cool. that That was going to be, if we're ready to end, and I don't know about you guys, how you feel about that. Unfortunately, something's got to come to an end. I'd absolutely love to have you come back, though, Toby, so we can get some more questions answered.
01:32:29
Speaker
Sure. You have a lot to talk about. We have a lot to ask. um But in the meantime, where can our viewers, our listeners, where can they find you, your social media?
Conclusion and Future Plans
01:32:40
Speaker
Go ahead and give yourself your tags.
01:32:42

okay so your best bet is to find me on the beard laws channel on youtube that's every tuesday and thursday at 9 p.m eastern um that is our podcast we have what's called a tick tock tuesday podcast and then we have the thursday podcast thursday podcast is more viewer oriented uh viewer interactive uh we do drafts one week and then we do a bracket challenge where the viewers all vote on the bracket um ah We have our own YouTube channel. If you just type in Toby's army, no apostrophe or anything like that, that's on YouTube. um We've got quite a few videos up there. And then um on social media, as far as ah like TikTok goes, it's they call me Toby too and Toby and Angel, just the letter N in between Toby and Angel. All right.
01:33:37
