Speaker: Thanks for watching!
Speaker: Do you know what it's like when you wanna go cry? But you can't let out all the feelings inside So you lay in your bed under blankets and hide And you let people know that you're feeling just fine And your pillow gets stained with the tears that you cried And you're praying nobody comes in And that's why and the redness is already taking your rise I do wish you could hide it but there's no disguise in it Cry, let it all out
Speaker: If I had to be completely honest with myself, I'm tired.
Speaker: I'm tired, and it's not a physical tired, it's it's a very, you know, it's in the soul. It's like I'm fucking tired. I'm tired of going through this shit, I'm tired of... tired of everything not working out, and I'm just like, I fucking tried. And... it's a... I can't not lie and say, it's not a, it's not like you don't want to live kind of thing, it's more of a, you have God we're sitting across from you right now.
Speaker: there would be a part of me that would just want to go up to him and say, listen, I'm done. I'm done. I'm not. I can't do this anymore. I'm just, I'm fucking physically and mentally spent and I'm done. And it's a, it's a silent battle too. Um, and it's a, it's a battle kind of hide from the world and from the people we love and the people we want to love or want to love us because Who wants a broken person? You know, it's like, if they knew, like if the people in your life knew how broken we were, like, would they stay? And then that raises the question of like, how do I fix this? Can you fix this? I don't know.
Speaker: I can't hide myself
Speaker: I don't expect you to understand I just hope I can't explain What it's like to be a man It's a lonely room And they don't care about what you know It's not about how you feel But what you provide inside that home
Speaker: You can't always evolve to expectations you try to Please everybody while you struggle so you fake it And end up out of balance compromising situations as a good man
Speaker: everything he could man you might find yourself feeling all alone inside a house you built that you don't recognize as home and that's what my daddy told me and i'll tell my son the same now that i'm older i relate and i actually feel his pain he never cried he might have lied but he did not complain and he said son one day you have to do the same i'll get emotional when i stop and think and i look around Beyond the county lines of my small town I think about all the men out there who feel like I do now Who are screaming on the inside but won't ever make a sound I don't expect you to understand
Speaker: keep fighting as a man our sun is our horizon and our fathers actions play a role then we end up like em so they can't let us see them hurt cause we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse no wonder most men are so depressed all the things that they can't express they go to war get thrown on the shelf to go back to war with them They mental health, then grab that bottle and ask for help Try to pull themselves out of hell, then fall back down And then realize that they gon' have to do it themselves It's the circle of life as a man you provide They don't know what you're worth till the day that you're dying That's when they start crying Then move on to a magic confide
Speaker: What's going on everybody? Happy Monday! These men care for men. Brought to you by the nonsensical network. You guys know me. I'm Glick and you guys should know by now, the man beside me is one and only boys. He's been hanging out a lot lately. We're seeing his face about as much as you guys getting tired of it yet. I hope not. boy We are a couple of busy bees over here on the network. bla What day is it? Man. I literally like the moments where we
Speaker: Started I was thinking it was Tuesday and I got really confused because it's men caring for men nights Sometimes I like to change the game up I make sure you guys yeah Shuffle the deck if you will Speaking of shuffling the deck. I just want to put this out here real quick. I'm sorry it You know me Thanks to Jeff. I have learned about a new UNO game. I don't know how how long it's been out, but UNO show him no mercy or some shit like that. That's definitely on the buy list this week. Oh, man. I love love UNO. I remember playing the shit out of UNO growing up. Yeah. So anyway, a little side play for UNO. Yeah. I've been telling Jeff for close to a year about UNO no mercy because we play it all the time. Yeah. And I'll tell you what.
Speaker: It'll ruin her friendship real quick. Shit, regular Uno would too. that well that The night of night of Austin's graduation party.
Speaker: You know, we went swimming with a couple of Nicki's friends came out and surprised Austin and showed up and we played, you know, no mercy. Our first game was really quick. The second game was about five hours long. Oh wow. And we weren't even done and we were just like at three o 'clock in the morning. I was like, I'm done and it was down to three of us because everybody else had checked checked out. I was like, I'm done y 'all. We need to wrap this up, but it's a fun game and it'll.
Speaker: It'll test the boundaries of relationships, friendships and. Remember guys, it's OK to fold them. Just gotta know when to hold them. Well, they do have. They do have an they do have a mercy rule in the game, so I mean you can always play the mercy rule and opt out. I think it's something like if you have more than 35 cards or something like that, but I saw that like some of them like draw 5 draw 10 like that on my own. You can stack.
Speaker: So if I throw down and draw two and you've got to draw two or higher, you can stack on it. It goes to the next person. Stacking is a house rule where I live. Yes. We, we had it up to the last time we played. We had it, or the last time we played, we had it up to draw 68. I think it was.
Speaker: Hell yeah, congratulations, Brian. I'm glad you got the job. Fuck yeah. You know what? That's an interesting thing to segue in tonight. I was going to say we're going to talk tonight.

Speaker: We're going to start doing something a little bit different. We tried it last week, but we're going to start doing something a little bit different here on men cam for men on Monday nights. It's not the same as Saturday nights. It's a little bit different, but we want to, we want to try to start experimenting with an open panel. Uh, so we're going to drop the link in the chat, just like we do on Saturday night. Now this invitation, uh, is, is for men and men only. Currently we will have different times where we will, we'll encourage.
Speaker: women to come up or Men and women to come up. I know we talked about a couple of different show ideas that will involve significant others spouses sisters brothers parents ah When Connor gets back, you know Connor's had a lot of time off and And he's been coming up with a lot of ideas and new things. This just happened to be something I came up with. So any, any, any guys that are out there listening, we'll mention it a couple of times tonight. I'll keep it in the chatters box, whatever in the chatters box, you'll see a little link pop up. if You click that link and you want to come in and and hang out with us. You guys are more than welcome to, uh, if you want to get, take part in the conversation or share a little, your own little story. It is a men's mental health program. So obviously we want to encourage and create.
Speaker: a quote unquote and I know that this has been misconstrued and turned into a bad word but we want to encourage and create a safe place for men to come and talk and openly share their feelings and and and not have to worry about being ridiculed or talked down on or anything else. So, there will be some light ball busting. Oh yeah, absolutely. Well, that's just par for the course. You know, not gonna lie.
Speaker: Uh, so the link is there in the chat. Uh, congratulations, Brian, as always, we'd like to start to show with our little banter and bro check. And please, I'd like to see how your week has, has started. Now your weekend was, but for our conversation earlier, you're doing pretty goddamn good. Oh, man. I was doing a great earlier today. I was out in the woods for a while, walking the trails. They were. the area where I go to apparently they've been cleaning out this old bicycle or mountain bike trail that was covered up and they got it all groomed and stuff now. So I was able to go hit that. Sorry, Molly. I love you too. My dog is like, she's my attention right now. So yeah, so there's like a whole new like trail to go explore and, and walk. So I walked in a couple times actually. So I got a couple of miles in today and then, um,
Speaker: Yeah. Um, you know, just, just, just enjoying the day. It was like in the high seventies. Oh, it was amazing. man There was nothing not to like about today. Um, yeah. So general, I'm doing out fucking standing, my dear. How are you doing? And man, I can't complain. Nobody listened anyways. ah I'm here. I'm listening.
Speaker: No, no, no, no, man. i'm I'm doing good. You know, it's it's it's funny doing this show with, you know, what when when we started this show, it was like, and I knew Connor was going through some stuff. And I think I started the show initially without, without anybody. And I was just kind of doing it my own. And I was dealing with things and going through things. So it's weird to be on the flip side of the coin. um Excuse me. Where?
Speaker: Yeah, life is life is good, man. I'm I'm I'm enjoying things and just kinda kids are getting ready to go back to school. So that'll be that'll be fun. We got an open house tonight for the for the youngest. Yeah, he's finally the he's finally the big dog in the school again. He's the he's the oldest oldest kid in the school again. So like nice it's only for a year. Then next year you're gonna be a little fish again.
Speaker: So enjoy. wildlife Last year, in middle school, I'm assuming then he is in. what So they have their school broken up. Their their district has grown so much, but it's it's splitting for four buildings. So they have the elementary school is K through. Third.
Speaker: And then they have what they call an intermediate school, which is fourth and fifth grade. And then they go into the quote unquote junior high, which is six through eight. And then the high school building, but the three of the four buildings are on this or the schools are on the same property.
Speaker: My middle daughter's going into eighth grade, and then my oldest one, she graduated, so she's done a little school. Now she was sitting back here looking at college stuff today, and I was like, whoa. Good for her. What is she doing? She wants to go into the nursing field. She wants to be an RN, ultimately. So she's got to start it out with her. I think she's got her PCA, which is like patient care, something like that.
Speaker: No idea. Medical assistant. That's what it is. Medical assistant. Okay. And then she wants to just get her STNA and then work her way up to an RN and be a nurse. I don't know what's what what she wants to do. if She wants to specialize in something or she just wants to be a nurse. I know when she first started at Sea Tech, she said she wanted to do travel nursing and I was like,
Speaker: I would do that when you're young before you decide to settle down because you're going to get to travel for free. You're going to make tons of fucking money and they're going to basically pay for everything. I got a friend of mine. He's a travel nurse. He's, I think he's a respiratory therapist, but I think that's what he's doing. I could be wrong. Um, but he's a travel nurse and I mean, he was doing it during COVID and unfortunately he got stuck in like,
Speaker: I've been in fucking Minnesota for a year. He's like, well, that kind of sucks. You know, but but he was like, it was cool because you know, I they they they paid for his accommodation. So, I mean, it's there and he was like, he likes sports but he wasn't like a big sports fan but while he was there, he would, he went to like every football game that he could go to. He went to every basketball game, every hockey game, every baseball game. I can't remember. I But yeah, he's like, I'm up here and I can go. And I got the bunny. So he's like, fuck I'm fucking, I'm going. I was like, I don't blame you, bro. I'd have done, I'd have been an every damn sports game. I could have gone to, I would have been doing the same shit. So, um, it was like, it was like after COVID, he still got stuck up there for a year, but, uh, but, um, he travels all over the place, man. And he he loves it. I was like, that's what I would do is you.
Speaker: Do it while you're young before you meet some dude and decide to settle down and have kids and get married and all that jazz. Just fucking enjoy your like late teens, early twenties or whatever. Just do whatever. or I guess it'd be early twenties by the time she got done with school and everything. yeah I wish I could. Well, I say that, but I've had jobs where I traveled and it did get old pretty quick.
Speaker: I've always been somebody who likes to travel. I get too antsy when I'm down, when I'm, when I'm somewhere like two, two, three years, I started getting antsy. Like I'm starting to get antsy where I'm at right now is the truth. Oh yeah. No, I mean, like I love to travel. Don't get me wrong, but it got old because of Stan and he's like, not so great accommodations. in the Oh yeah. It's definitely, uh, it's not, it's not cheap. But like, like if you do it for work wise,
Speaker: ah You know your employment Pays for it. So which is kind of cool or you can write it off in taxes or yeah something so the the company I worked for was not big on The best accommodation they wanted to save a dime, you know and i Yeah, that yeah that depends on the boss You know, so we, we, you know, there's a couple of times where we had nice hotels. I got some, I have some dog commotion going on right behind me. I'll be right back. i heard that
Speaker: But no, i I do love to travel. I'll shoot as much as we randomly take off and do things and stuff when when we can. I'm down for travel. It's good for the soul, man. It really is. And if you get somebody else paying for it,
Speaker: I can do it. You know, you can't, um, you can't beat that if somebody else is paying for it at the end of the day. But, um, so, you know, which is kinda, kinda where I came up with the idea for tonight's show, like a topic of conversation was thinking about, you know, the kids starting their school or not starting new state, a new school, but a new year of school. And, uh,
Speaker: You know, I don't believe he's getting ready to start school and stuff like that. But, uh, so that's where we came from. Like starting over or like new beginnings, you know, obviously we we go through those rope patches and we'll talk a little bit about that. You know, sometimes things don't always pan out the way you, uh, initially plan or think that they're going to pan out. So, you know, we'll change our plans, but, um, also like,
Speaker: Like Brian, you know Brian said over here in the chat man and and shout out to Brian congrats, brother Just got home about to make dinner and other news. I got the job. That's awesome right there. You know new beginning. That's fucking awesome man. Congratulations What jobs, you know, I can't remember I know he's told me but I can't I can't remember what it what it was.
Speaker: I think it might be with, I think it might be with the same company. Maybe like, I time thought it was like a higher position.
Speaker: Yeah. Maybe, uh, maybe, um, yeah, maybe a ah better position, you know, and and an upgrade.
Speaker: fit but I don't know how serious some people take groups. I was just looking at a car. This is not the group for this kind of stuff. Calm down. Just delete it. You know, my bad. Just remove it from the Facebook group. Oh, you're talking about because your link you sent out. Yeah. and Sometimes I slide it into groups that have nothing to do with anything at all.
Speaker: It's like worst case scenario. Like, Oh, my bad. um My apologies. I won't do it again. Some people just get seriously, like I used to post it in my alumni page for my high school and the amount of like 80 year old people that would be mad and been out of shape. Oh man.
Speaker: they're like what time the admins reached out to me they're like hey we don't mind you know we want to support our alumnis you can post it if you want but we gotta we gotta at least say that we talk to you because these cranky old people won't stop and i'm like yeah i mean i won't post no more if it bothers people that much this this perfect like no we want to support our alumni we like to see when our alumnis are doing things And it wasn't like I would post like nonsensical nonsense. It would be the spin -off show because obviously I'm not going to, I know there's a bunch of old people. I'm not going to post a Saturday night show in there. We spent two hours talking about some French guys dingdong. Six hours later, grandma was freaking get dead of a heart attack. I watched the whole thing. It was the last thing I watched when I died.
Speaker: yeah
Speaker: Hey, John, how's it going? What's going on, John? But, um, no, I just kind of bantering around here to what's going on, John. Um, take break a little, just a few minutes early so we can get into the meat and potatoes. Yeah. Yeah. I know it's been distractions.
Speaker: My daughter Molly really wanted my attention and then my other dog was outside the room and she wanted attention. So she was scratching at the door and Molly was like, stop scratching at the, day it was just, yeah, I get it. I got a, I got a dog and three kids. Trust me. I get it. You know, sometimes.
Speaker: I'll be sitting here. We're doing the show. Next thing I know, there's a wet nose on my elbow or she comes in and starts biting at my feet or something when I'm right in the middle of the door doing the show. Yo, what are you doing? And that's the kids. It's not even the dog. Oh, **** I'm nibbling my toes, kid. Wait, what? I'm out of this phase. You're nineteen, you weirdo.
Speaker: No, no, no, there's always that we all I like to have that that that half hour, you know, be able to do the the weekly bro check. The bro checks for you guys in the chat as well. We want to know how you guys are doing as well. Yeah, John, how are you doing tonight, man? And then and then, you know, take a little break and then come back and get into the ah the old meat and potatoes of the of the subject matter, if you will. I don't want to stay in taters. I had to make potatoes.
Speaker: I love potatoes. I don't care how they, I don't, French, French fried, mashed, baked. Yeah. you know I eat it. I love potatoes. Here's something weird people, the way I like my baked potato with butter, A1 sauce, salt, salt and pepper. A1 sauce is actually really good on a potato. I won't use it for a steak, but I'll use it for a potato.
Speaker: I'll use it for a steak. Some steaks, it's okay. yeah It depends on how the steak's cooked. Yeah. So some people have no business cooking steaks and you gotta, we've went somewhere where the hell are we at? But I'll put A1 on my chicken and my pork too. I just love A1 sauce. I do like it on chicken and pork. While yeah, I was just saying I like, I like A1. I can't remember where we were. Thick and bold one. Yeah, we went, yeah yo yeah, yeah, we went somewhere and I got a steak and I was just, it was good. I just was not very impressed with it.
Speaker: I took one bite and the girl came back and she's like, you want some A1 or steak sauce? I was like, you got some A1. Fantastic. sal Besides beef, the other two big important Bs in my life is definitely beer and bongs, John. ni and yeah I don't know anything about bongs, but I know an awful lot about beer. Apparently that's just going to stay on the board. ah Sorry, that was my fly. Fat fingernet.
Speaker: I don't, I don't know much about bones, but I know a whole lot about beer. I'm sure you had a child. Anyway, we can keep this freaking going on forever. But, uh, but, uh, I got me a little full Pepsi Cola tonight and I'm going to sip on here. We're doing bro check. John's out there doing a bomb check. sure you clean Clean bong is a happy ball. Oh, john Hey, John, yeah I saw it. Dude shit you not take your bong empty now get it all nice and clean And then when you're but right in and get ready for a fresh hit but instead of using ice water or tap or just regular cold cold water in your ball You scolding hot water and I guarantee you that first fucking bong hit through a bong with scolding hot water is the smoothest bong it you'll ever fucking taking their life it's the weirdest thing but the only thing is you have to be
Speaker: You know, switch out the water all the time because it's the scolding. but It's it's the weirdest thing it makes because it it it heats it. Somehow it matches the temperature of the smoke to you. And it's like it doesn't look like you're hitting the fucking ball. Oh, dude, I'm sorry, man. Hey, man, that's what Mondays are for, brother. That is what Mondays are for. We were just talking about that. We're trying out a new thing on Mondays.
Speaker: We're going to do an open panel for anybody. And it's specifically an invite for men only, uh, that want to come up on the show and chitchat or take part in the conversation or just get some shit off of their chest. Cause that's what Monday nights are for at the end of the day. Uh, it's to, uh, obviously it's a men's mental health show. That's what we're here for. You're allowed to bring it up, leave it in the chat. You're allowed to. That's what we're here for. Even if it distracts us from the topic of conversation.
Speaker: ah Yeah, I was distracting myself with stoner talk option. Welcome to places for 20 quarter. It has me. Yeah, I got thinking for this coming up coming for 20. Anyway, yeah bipolar. oof Yeah, I got I got I got beat DD as well, John. i can say It you were a little off Saturday night. It was kind of kind of weird.
Speaker: oh Dude, I was so low energy. I was tired Saturday and I've been going to bed late but for some reason waking up early and not but not being able to go back to sleep I think it caught up Yeah No, that's my sleep patterns all crazy and okay I'm trying to get into some form of a sleep pattern and But, uh, I, you, we usually come back and lay down around 11 or 12 and then we lay back here and we'll only fuck on our phones and watch TV. They've got a goddamn Cougar in the background, boys. Hey, John, uh, interesting, uh, interestingly enough that I am a weed smoker.
Speaker: I did have to take a break from weed just to reset my my balance because it can because it's it is a chemical, it can't fuck with your mentals. so i mean i i take I take regular breaks more often and I don't don't smoke as much as I used to. I have like one part of the day that I do and that's usually when I'm out in the woods and that's when I'm pestering everybody on Snapchat.
Speaker: the like He doesn't see you know, none of us care. We all get in there get to chitchat, man Next thing I know it's like oh shit. It's time to go home but And I still get my work done, you know, like I'm just working along it makes my day go faster That's what Matt is getting that work. I'm making that cheddar. Yep. I Feel you John I thought I have fought depression and anxiety and a couple other things most of my life so just finally in the last
Speaker: and six months or so, just kind of started getting things locked in. And, and you know, the last five years have been a journey for me, uh, personally, and, uh, or five, six years. And then the last six months to a year, man, things just started kind of, kind of clicking and falling into place. And I still have my bad days. Don't get me wrong, you know? Um, but, um, it's all right. We're allowed to have bad days.
Speaker: kind of tiger bo Oh, I am sipping on some Eagle rare bourbon tonight that bottles been open for a couple months now I just got some Pepsi Cola Should have water but yeah, oh I I have water too. I'm saying hydrated Yeah, I should I should be drinking water instead of another pop today, but I'll drink water after the show ah heard that cor yeah Nice, but let's ah let's take a real quick break and then when we get back, we'll get into the the topic of tonight. We're going to talk about starting over and new beginnings and and that doesn't necessarily always mean a bad thing. Obviously we're going to touch on the bad things, but it doesn't always have to be bad when you start over or ah something new. You know. If there's a new beginning in your life, it could be something like a job or school or.
Speaker: or moving or... New dog. Yeah, new dog, you know. The punk -ass kid moves out of your house. but um um But we're gonna take a real quick break. I got a little... Oh, what do I want to Let's do... You know what? I really like this song. I've been really feeling this song. Zay Grassling, who's a former guest on Glick's House of Music.
Speaker: Go show him some love. He'll give him a follow. Check out his music and drop him a comment and let him know that non -stensible network and or click sent you. This is Zay Graslie with his song, Camp Fire Cologne. I really like it.
Speaker: They don't want me to make it, they don't want me Hell raised little boy brought up Carolina making noise Everybody stomping around Hallelujah, jump for joy This is just the southern way Mason shine, drawers filled up with that southern great Oh
Speaker: I've been down this road before, oh I don't know which way to go Don't get confused there boy, they'll use you up This thing they call in love, them is plays your trust Laundered roads and I can't find
Speaker: This that can't work alone I know they don't They don't want me to make it They don't want me They don't want me They don't want me to make it They don't want me to make it I know they don't They don't want me to make it They don't want me They don't want me
Speaker: Do you want me to make it? Do you want me to make it? Don't get confused little boy, they'll use you up This thing they call in love, they'll misplace your truck Long dirt roads and I can't find my way home Cold blood lights and lonely stone and knives With your wheels and the moon

Speaker: Zay Graslie with Camp Fire Cologne. I love that fucking song. That's probably that one. And he's got another one called Through It All, or two of my favorite songs by him. But what about Domingue Camp for Men? Blaze and Glink hanging out.
Speaker: What's up guys? What we do on Mondays. Go ahead and check us out on all the socials and all that GIS and check out the rest of the network, all at the nonsensical network or simply go to bio .lake slash nonsensical network. Give us a follow, give us a like, give a little love and drop a share on us. We greatly appreciate that. All right. We can go talk a little bit tonight about starting over and new beginnings and John, what you're scared about buddy?
Speaker: Sounds like you got some stuff you want to get off your own shit,
Speaker: which is always welcomed here. Like I said, it's Monday night. That's what we're, that's what we're here for. We might not be experts, but we might be able to cope out a little bit, but, um, will ah what we'll, we'll, uh,
Speaker: change the course as needed. Yeah, but like I was saying, yeah, you know, like I said, starting over new beginnings, not always bad, not always good. But, um you know, obviously, we'll get the bat out of the way here real quick. You know, this first part of it, we'll get the bat out of the way. I think I think most of us, most of us have have all been there, relationships going south, whether it be a marriage or just boyfriend girlfriend or an engagement or, or, or even relationships with friends and family, just going south and, and, you know, not always being the easiest thing in the world to recoup from. You know, I, I know when my ex -wife left me, it wasn't so much the split up or the, uh,
Speaker: her leaving me that bothered me. It was. not having my kids around. um Because for the first few months, my kids didn't want to really be around me, so I didn't get to see them too much. And I went from seeing them every day to maybe once every couple of weeks I got to see them or whatever.
Speaker: I'm laughing at John's comment. Sorry, John. this is just this this
Speaker: um I lost my wife too, John. And you know what? I'm honestly over that shit as well, man. Yeah. oh Yeah. No, I'm way up. I was, trust me, I've said it before out here, you know, us splitting up was the best thing for everybody. yeah But me personally, it was the best thing in the world for my mental health because our relationship went sour for a long, long before we we actually split up and you know we both had our issues. But once she left, I realized how mentally broken I was and a lot of it was to do with her. ah And I was able to start my you know my road back, so to say. But i you know starting over in that aspect,
Speaker: You know, we were together for 17, almost 18 years. Starting over from that aspect was like, man, I haven't really ever been alone. And now I got to figure out how to do all this, shit all this life shit, you know, uh, pay it to, you know, I know how to pay bills and stuff like that, but you know, for so long I was like, I would go to work and come home and, you know, I cooked dinner her on night. She wasn't there and bobbay blah, blah, blah, blah.
Speaker: that it was like all on me. So, you know, it was a, it was a heavy burden, uh, in the beginning on top of trying to figure out and deal with my own mental deficiencies. So to say. I failed with someone else that I knew I've known for 20. Ah, well, you know, life isn't, uh, my true, I don't know. That's, that was empty platitude blazing.
Speaker: Um, yeah, that, that does happen. Like you said, click. I mean, you can intentionally marry a woman thinking you're going to be with that person for the rest of your life. And then all of a sudden, uh, you know, follow up with someone else and John, I'm, I'm not saying you cheat. I don't, I don't think you do. I don't, I don't even think that, um,
Speaker: That a it takes an affair to even fall in love with somebody else and fall out of love with your current spouse or significant other. I mean, that's just how emotions work sometimes. Hey, vicky how you doing? Uh, that's G's girlfriend, Vicki. Oh, okay. No, you know, so, you know, that aspect, yeah, that was, that was rough trying to start over again and then like learning how to be a single dad and you know especially when the kids started to come over, started coming around more frequently and more often, you know, like how to parent alone and and whatnot. and It was a huge adjustment for me, especially especially with trying to deal with making up for the mistakes that I had made with with the kids, especially my my oldest one. And I still feel terrible for it today, which sometimes she tries us to to use in her advantage against me. But
Speaker: but You know, um, and I've had other relationships that have gone sour, you know, I, I invested, I, you know, I, and it wasn't, I don't think it was a relationship going sour that really hurt. That was really tough. It was, it was more because I, let I let the kids get invested. Yeah. And then happened to be like, I can deal with my broken heart. How do I deal with these, with their, you know, with the three of them with their broken heart, trying to be like, you know,
Speaker: And then be weary of the next person that comes along and we're like, I don't want to introduce my kids because I don't want them to get invested and bloody, you know, and then have to go down that road and start all over again. You know, I was at the point when I met Mickey that it was like, I'm, okay I am not going to date or anything. I'm just going to be a manhole.
Speaker: yeah i mean and and and You know I And I'll have my phone when the kids aren't around and that'll be that. yeah Apparently the, I don't know, fate, destiny, the stars, the universe, whoever, you know, the spaghetti monster in the sky, whatever had different plants, had totally different plants. And that's the other thing that like, you know,
Speaker: ah new beginning being a new relationship and then like ah readjusting because I went five years just being me and the kids and then you know Mickey moved in it was like this is good thing but now I gotta like readjust my you might we you know yeah we gotta we gotta you know you know accommodate make adjustments and and but that was a good that was a good new beginning that was a good new Were you were you scared to start all over? Were you think that was like one thing? Because I think back after my divorce in the years, it took me to get back on an even kill like mentally. I think part of it was the fact that I had to face the reality I had to start over. Like I had to I had to to to do it a different way in life now. And I think in some ways that right there was a hurdle that I didn't see right away.
Speaker: yeah i'm glad I'm glad I'm glad I finally did and made made those radical acceptances but I think the John it's a said something earlier about being scared as fuck I think just the idea of again having having to meet this abrupt reality change that oh Everything is gonna be different now. I have to I have to change I have to I be the change as well, not just let it happen around me. And it's, it's hard. Absolutely. But I think once, once I got past that, I think things are better, but what about you? Um, I think, I think initially, so, you know, I go back to, um,
Speaker: I think, I think one of the biggest mistakes I made was, you know, shortly after my wife, my ex -wife left. I got kind of, I got re -involved with the high school girlfriend. And, and I think I, I might've rushed a little bit into that, trying to fill that void, but the relationship and the dynamic there was so weird because like she didn't want to, you know, like she was going through a lot of things and I was down in Charleston and I was like, you know, I got extra space, extra room. I could use a roommate.
Speaker: uh if you want to get the hell out of Ohio yeah and it was a weird it was a weird dynamic and a weird situation because initially it was like wow there's there's high school feelings but it wasn't they weren't they you know it wasn't like a like real feeling you know what i mean it was like kind of and and uh they wouldn't come back up to Ohio you know she was like well you know i have my house she owns she owns her own house she's like you know you can i and come up here and it was it was like one of those things that I won't I won't say so you know it wasn't a good decision but it wasn't like oh my god this fucking ruined my life but it was a weird dynamic because she wanted the boyfriend experience but didn't want to want the relationship that and she was that person who never wanted a kids obviously I come with three kids so it was a weird dynamic and it was after that when I finally was like that but this is really hard on me and hard on the kids and
Speaker: You know, I got to move out. I was hesitant. And then, you know, my ex fiance, and we look for con we we were we were friends for about a year and some change before. And, you know, we weren't dating or anything like that, but we weren't either. Neither one of us were talking to anybody. I, you know, we were just unofficially official type type deal.
Speaker: But I put that time in because I was, I was afraid to get into another relationship. And I was, that person who said, I'm never, I'm only getting married one time in my life. I'm never, you know, if I get married and it doesn't work, I'm not going to be that guy who gets married 16 times, you know? So even after we did start dating and it was just a couple months into us dating, she was like, Hey, what are you going to propose to me? When are you going to, when are we going to do that? And I'm like, I'm like, you know, my feelings on marriage.
Speaker: Which I feel it's turned out to be right because at the end of the day within a couple months of me proposing to her after the excitement died down and and and and and the attention that she was getting on social media has kind of died down. um She started banging one of her customers and then the day after Christmas decided to break up with me.
Speaker: But it was like, yeah, I was like, man, I know I don't I don't want to do that. Like I said, that was that was hard on the kids at the end of the day because the kids had got really attached to her. And she had a little boy that was the same age as my son. And and and I got attached to him. And it was hard on him as well the first few months because he would still text me and call me. And and and I'm like, I'm always here for you, buddy. i you know I don't want to cause any problems with between your mom and and the new guy, something I'm always here if you need, you know. But I had to kind of sever that too. And it was after that, it was just like, I was even more wary of relationships.
Speaker: and but um But I think i think that it happens with anybody, you know. yeah um I didn't want to put myself out there. And then like I said, it was around that point that I was like, no, fuck it. I'm just, and I'd started kind of seeing somebody, you know, uh, down the road after my experience and I split up and it was like, never really knew where her head was in the game. And you know, like.
Speaker: so it was just like ah I'm just going to, I'm just going to say the hell, I'm just going to be a man or, you know, that way I don't get hurt no more. My my kids don't get hurt no more. I, you know, I don't got to worry about it. Just put it out there. Hey, this is, it is, this is what it is. It's all it's going to be. And, you know, it wasn't like I ever bullshit it. I was blunt with, with, with anybody. This is, this is all it is. Yeah. We can, we can fucking chill and But I ain't gonna be your man at the end of the day. I i thought i found myself in ah in a couple relationships since my divorce recently got out of one. We're kind of friends. I don't know. I'm still thinking I'm a little perturbed about something. but
Speaker: um I had that same sort of like, oh, I'm just going to, you know, what's that? What's that stupid saying? Get over one chick. You got to get under another or some stupid tropes. totro yeah and there things learn and but But that was the weird thing. It's like I dated like but in my early twenties, I got married and then got divorced in my forties. And it's like, shit, what the fuck is dating now? How do I do it?
Speaker: And so I was like, I'll try to be a man who I didn't quite work out. I'm not saying I all like always constantly struck out. That's what I'm saying. I'm just like, it's tiresome. It's it's like this game that I set down like decades ago and site picking it up again. I'm like, I don't know if I want to play this this type of game. anymore And times change so much from when you know when we were originally dating to being in back on the back back in the game again.
Speaker: yeah Yeah, John, my my my thoughts exactly, man. I was so i was so bad and and and had so much hatred and and anger towards her and myself, you know, for putting myself in that situation. And and then just to be lied to and to go through that. I basically went through the same exact kind of sort of situation with the with the infidelity and the cheating.
Speaker: that I had just went through with my ex white. It was like, you know, you should go do the same exact damn thing to me. And it's just like, Hey, whatever. And then try to run me in the ground and talk and throw mud and shit all over me on social media. And I'm like, yeah, do you know, I have a podcast, you know what I, you know, my presence on social media, like all you're doing is making yourself look like a piece of shit. Cause I didn't go after, I actually didn't go after or put any of her business out there.
Speaker: And so one night we were doing a show and it was, it was a Saturday night, I believe one liter a day. we was in And we we was talking about healthy. That's not healthy, but I get that sentiment. I definitely, uh, I think I told one of my therapists one time, it's like, I was taking the liquid out of the bottle, or replacing my feelings and into. the Yeah.
Speaker: I've been there before. But yeah, we were talking one night, didn't even have anything to pertain to do with her or situation. Nothing is out of the blue. I got a text message from her giving me 17. I was like, you know what, bitch, since you're fucking listening, now it's my time to fucking spill the tea and put your business out there. And Tony and Jeff, when I started, they both went, oh, finally, finally clicks about on Lee Shell, because they knew it had been bottled up and pent up. but I just didn't want to come across like that guy and just like,
Speaker: drag her name in the muddy, even though she deserved it. But after that night, man, I, and I, the next morning I woke up and sometimes I'll go out and tangent about somebody or something. And I'll wake up the next morning and feel bad that day. I woke up the next morning. and It was like a huge weight was lifted off my chest. Sometimes you got to vent that shit off too. Sometimes you keep that shit pent up. Uh, was it? Oh shit.
Speaker: My shit right now looks like foamy beer. Man, what goes in the bathroom stays in the bathroom, Connor. Yeah, dude, that's fucked up. Just going to rob a man blind and then be like, yo, you want to? That bitch robbed me, hit me up last year to have a kid. Laughing my ass off like, oh, that is some fucked up shit, dude. No, I am. That's some crazy ass psycho shit. Yeah, I am absolutely done with that.
Speaker: with babies. So there'll be no more babies in my life. Oh, yes. I am. your and i know surgeon From, from my three for a long time. I told Nikki, I said the grandchildren department's up to your boys. Not, not my kid. and So my kids, I know I've mentioned them on here before. We're, we're, we're strange at the moment. Life, life sucks sometimes, but we have to move on.
Speaker: But when it comes to like me dating again and or meeting women and stuff, if they have kids, I'm fine with that. Like I, I'm not that dude, like, oh, you have kids go away. Two things though. One, if they're all adults, bonus. Two, if, uh, if I don't have to meet them right away, that's even better.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly. well you know like And I know that sounds like a dig, but I'm not in it for like an Insta family. And I hate to say it that way. No, yeah, you want to ease into it. Yeah, not even ease into it. Like I'm out here, you know, putting myself back out on the market. And I want I want I want to meet the people I want to potentially maybe find a woman to spend the rest of my life with. I don't I haven't taken that off the table. But for me it's to jump in a relationship and it's just like her and then boom, she has kids. And it's like, no, that's too much too fast for me. Yeah. Some might think that might be me moving suit too slow, but, uh, or, or it could be a defensive posture. yeah When, when, when I was single kids, kids were not a deal breaker. I just don't want to have any more, like I don't want to have any more of my own. I don't want no more babies. You know, if, if, if I was dating somebody who had kids or talking to somebody who had kids, I didn't care, you know? Yeah.
Speaker: You know, I, I, I come with three kids myself. I'm a full -time dad, you know, like full -time single dad at the end of the day. So I get it. But yeah, you know, you meet the kids when you meet the kids, whatever. But, um, now like for me, I just don't want no more babies. And I've, and I made that very clear too. I'm like, go.
Speaker: Just so y 'all know, uh, and that was something my ex fiance was trying to push me. and She wanted to get pregnant. I'm like, yo, I've got three kids. You've got one kid. That's four kids all under the age of 18 right now. I don't want no more babies. See, I'm even farther than I don't even want to be trying to raise anymore kids. Like yeah I don't want to get messed. I don't want to get entangled with a woman and it's like, Oh, Hey, my kids got softball practice or, or tee ball or little league or.
Speaker: bowling birthday party this Saturday. No, I'm done with all that. I don't want the loud kid fucking birthday parties anymore. I don't want none of that shit. yeah And I and know it sounds like a dick, but I just don't want that in my life. So got when I'm meeting women, if there's like, if they got a bunch of little kids, it's like, you're awesome. I'm sure you are. But yeah, the same thing. This can't move too serious.
Speaker: No, exactly. And that's you know, that's one of the things when Nikki and I started dating and things started getting serious. I felt bad for her because she has to. She's got two kids that are grown. Her son's 25 and in the Air Force. Shout out to shout out to Jay. Just just reside and re enlisted for another six or eight years in the Air Force. John, it's it's not. I hate to cut you off, but it's not even about the young kids or old kids or it's just about.
Speaker: I've raised kids, all my kids are adults. I don't, I've done raising kids. I don't want to do it no more. Like I don't want nothing to do with that kind of shit anymore. So. No, I get that. That's, that's where I am. That's what, that's what, you know, here's one thing that I both agreed on. Well, that and the fact that she's got parts missing. We don't want no more babies. We want grandbabies down the road, but we don't know babies. We don't want no babies tomorrow. I want to be able to give that baby back.
Speaker: You know what I mean? that's That's fair enough, John. And I have i have to ah respect that. I i get that. you You've never had kids, and that's an experience that you've wanted. I'm sorry you haven't. That's a crapshoot life. When you want something like that, sorry, I got a belt.
Speaker: burbling up. I know something like that, something you want to be a parent in life, you don't get that opportunity. I can only imagine how devastating that that can be.
Speaker: and yeah Don't let that define you you were saying some about somebody reenlisting. I so apologize oh no i' said i say that You know when Nikki and I first started getting serious when we started getting serious and stuff I felt bad because You know, she's got two boys that are don't get a and by the way, don't give up John There's plenty of single moms out there that are looking for step natties Adoption you can always adopt. too They're looking for they're looking for daddies in the sheets and step daddies in the streets
Speaker: but shit That's because I'm gangster. You know, I'm gangster because I say I do SK instead of ST. No, no, no, Nikki's Nikki's boys are grown. She's got her oldest one's twenty five and and her youngest one's twenty two, twenty three, I think. And I felt bad because it's like here I am coming in. She's like living her best life. She doesn't have kids. And it's like I got three kids, by the way, and they're all under 18, you know, and cash being the youngest, he just turned 11. And I kind of felt bad and in a way, but she jumped right in. and and And, you know, the kids love her. She loves the kids. And I think she likes them more than I do. But she didn't have to raise a little pecker heads. But I'm kidding. I love my kids a lot. I love my kids so much that my son and I do a podcast where I super kick the shit at it out of him at the end of it. But no, no, I just.
Speaker: i remember the video now No, I just I don't want no more babies I you know gray babies is one thing down the road But I don't want no more kids of my own that is not us That is not a new beginning or a starting over process that I want in my life. I've done I got I got my three kids, you know, they're they're self -sufficient they wipe their own asses they can cook for themselves they can feed themselves they can I tell me if something's wrong, you know, like I don't have to play the guessing game when they're screaming at two o 'clock in the morning. yeah Is it the diaper? Are they hungry? are they Yeah, gas. What's going on? I don't know. I don't know. you Speak English. I've pressed one for English ten times.
Speaker: but
Speaker: You know, you know, in all honesty, like I get at the diaper stage is some shitty times with the crazy fucking pee in the face and shit in places that you never thought you'd have to clean shit off of. But in all honesty, as kids get older, it gets it gets harder. Just remember, I don't know. There's there's a lot of trade off there. There really is. It's not that it's hard or just gets different. Yes, I think I think there's It's easier, but there still are hard moments. I think that makes sense. Just remember, one day, you'll get to return the favor, and your kids will be changing your diaper. Oh, God, shoot me before that happens. Oh, wait, no, don't do that. That's violence. No violence allowed. No violence allowed.
Speaker: And and it's it's always tough when you, you know, it's it's tough in general to start over and start dating again, but it it's harder when you're a single parent and that goes both ways. Single dads or single moms. It makes it harder, especially when you got your kids because.
Speaker: You're always like, when do I introduce the kids? When do I get the kids involved? It's just too early. It's just too long. It's, you know, you play that guessing game and then it's like, do I want to get the, what happens if this relationship goes sideways? And then my kids are attached. to And it's why there all things that I went through. It's just like, like I said, you know, I can fix my brother. What the hell do I do? And I got three little ones or three young ones at home and they're, they're, they're all three broke, upset and crying. And it's like, you know,
Speaker: which is something I never wanted to go through. I don't, I, you know, which is something I don't ever want to go through again, which is another, you know, another aspect of, of being hesitant to, to get back out for the debut. And as you said, your kids are grown. So, yeah. Well, I'm not even like, like, I don't even push myself in the dating role. I I've come to the conclusion.
Speaker: that it's not like I'm going to sit there and wait for shit to happen, but I'm just not, I'm not like, cause I don't go to bars anymore. Every, occasionally I might go to something like that, but you know, throughout my daily, daily doings, if I meet someone, I meet someone and it's like, Oh, she's pretty cool. And you know, things seem kind of cool. I might ask her out, but I'm not going to sit there and hit a dating apps and yeah trying to go to bars and It's just sad Yeah much effort but thought It's not it's not it's not that it's F it's not that it's too much effort it's just I don't know it seems like a I Don't made shit. Maybe I'm starting to sound like that old fucking cranky dude like slow down down music You know what I mean, but
Speaker: i don't get out my lawn Yeah, I just don't want to deal with like a bunch of stupid people shit when you go out on weekends anymore and i do The ritual I don't like the ritual of it It seems like so ritualized when we were young we were down for it But as we got older and you're married for a while. It's like I stopped practicing that ritual It's like, yeah I don't know how to do it no more. Yeah. I don't know how to do this dance anymore. i don't want yeah but they they they You don't want to be the old creepy guy at the bar because she's pretty well, it's just 22 and you're 46. And she's like, Oh, get away from me, dad. it just like And I don't care what people say. Picking up women at a grocery store does not sound not creepy. I'm sorry. It just sounds creepy as fuck. So, uh, I noticed you were checking out the eggplant and I was already checking out the melons and and what's up? but but so Can you show me how the celery is properly ripe before a bite? No. Don't. Still, people there at a grocery shop. Yeah.
Speaker: Oh, the size of your cucumber is bigger than my cucumber. Just subtly walk a hay.
Speaker: i'm single and I want to make this for dinner. Do you, can you give me any tips? I'm not really familiar with the cooking. Oh, you just automatically assume because I'm a woman. I know how to cook. Whoa. hey just You know what, John, you, you might be right. Maybe I just don't have a game anymore. I don't have the right pickup line, but at the same time, it's like, I don't think I want a woman that it takes a pickup line. Does that make sense? Like, I don't know.
Speaker: i think it's I think it's one of those things that, you know, like, you know, Vicki and I had known each other previously, and then I ghosted her. and And it was one of those weird things for whatever reason, I had been thinking about her and I was on live on TikTok. And i would like I said, I was single, so I'd go live on TikTok.
Speaker: 95 % of my following was all women anyway. So you get a whole bunch of women in there and they start acting crazy. And I started working with them and everything else. And then Nikki came in there and one thing led to another. And here we are today, you know, maybe it was like, well, you know, I haven't been thinking about you, but I didn't figure I would reach out to you because I was a jackass who posted you. so
Speaker: But, you know, just I haven't said it's random. Like I said, call it fake out. That's the goal. Whatever you want to call it. It just panned out. It's kismet. Yeah. I am.
Speaker: ae ah So back to new beginnings. Although sometimes I will refer to like ah here's a new chapter of my life Like it's always the same book just a different different a different chapter So to me, it's not so much. It's a new beginning just a new phase I guess or a new a new chapter of my life So I said that I've said that a lot especially when Especially but Yeah. Yeah. If you're going to compliment her hair and her eyes, make sure you know what color her eyes are. Absolutely. Um, I've always said that I've always said that, you know, this, this isn't, uh, this isn't the end of the, this isn't the end of my book. It's the end of the chapter and I'm moving on to the next chapter of my life or the next chapter of my book. Um, that
Speaker: Apparently, we're not writing our we're not writing our own books. Somebody else is ghostwriting our story, so to say. And we we're just stuck being the main character, not knowing what's going to happen next. We don't. We don't know what's going to happen next. And that's I think that's, in a part, kind of like one of the best parts of life is you don't know what's going to happen next. No, exactly. I mean, you you take the curveballs, man. you know I I had a. I had a coach when I was playing baseball and I played baseball for a good chunk of my life tell and used to tell me, you know, being left handed and you know, I always felt like I had a point to prove because it wasn't very often that you know, pitchers would actually pitch to me. They were usually either trying to hit me with the baseball or just walk me or whatever. But if I got a good pitch, I was swinging for the fences.
Speaker: And, and, and I never used to do that. I would hesitate and coach used to tell me, he said, click, when that curve ball comes at you, you've got to swing for the fucking fences, but everything you got. And as I got older, him and I were talking one day and he's like, it's just how life is, man. Let's go through your curve balls. Just fucking expect the unexpected and swing for the fucking fences, man. You know what? But yes. Yes. I agree. Make the best of the curve ball that is thrown to you. Sometimes.
Speaker: you have to remember that curve ball is going to fucking was now where in you in the or in the head and it's going to fucking hurt. It's going to fucking hurt. Trust me, life has hit me with a lot of, a lot of, I've been smoked by life more times than I'd like to admit to, but yeah, you take that shit right to the dome, man. And and you know what? You dust yourself off and you,
Speaker: Get back up and you know, like Rocky said it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked out it matters How many times you get back up and go? Hey, you know what? I might have stumbled Yeah What's that old saying? What's that old saying a life gives you lemons make lemonade not fuck that life gives you lemons you make lemonade Then you find the guy who coined that term you drown him in that lemonade And you open up a bottle of beer and you'd like that's the way you do it or or if you want to put vodka in your limit, that's fine too. Yeah, that's fine too. Yeah. that Yeah, I know like ah you know, like I said, I I wish I wish I could say man life's been all sunshine and **** roses, is unicorns and ice cream cones but you know what? It's not always but yeah, I mean that this crazy journey that we call life, you know, I look back at the bad times sometimes and I'm like, you know, if I didn't go through this,
Speaker: I wouldn't be who I am today or I didn't go through this. I wouldn't have learned that lesson. And I, you know, I wouldn't be better for it today. and You know, you, you, you, and a lot of people fall to this and they find themselves in those same ruts and those same addictions. So to say, you know, I, like, I used to drown all my feelings in a bottle. There was, there was no, there was never an answer but at the end of the bottle, but God damn it.
Speaker: I'd pick up another bottle and look for the answers when one was empty. I was terrible. Um, and a couple of different things in life happened that really kind of tossed me for a loop. And, and, and then my, my oldest, way you know, the best thing that happened that really kind of opened my eyes, my light switch came on and I can see again, was my, my oldest daughter, um, my ex -wife got pregnant with my oldest daughter and I was like, I can't.
Speaker: I can't keep going down this road, not with having a kid on the way and not, you know, how am I going to raise a kid if I'm like this all the time? So, you know, I was able to, you know, on my own, I was able to kick that addiction and and and finally start to walk away from that. And i' I'm not, you know, I'd be lying if I said I didn't, when hard times hit that I didn't fall back on. Oh, reliable, you know, by myself in a bottle, bottom of a bottle when shit gets hard, shit gets rough.
Speaker: You know, the end of the day, we got to enjoy this crazy journey called life.
Speaker: Yes, we do. And I'm, I'm, I'm looking forward to my upcoming trots down academic lane again. yes no I was going to, I was going to say, let's, uh, let's, uh, take a real quick break and flip the script into more of a positive.
Speaker: I know you're getting dark there for a little, a little, see, that's the great thing about what we do. We can play both sides of the field. We can play ah offense and defense. Oh yeah.

Well, I just happened to remind myself, Josh, you fucking love weed. and Great at working with weed in Oregon and all this. Well, Ohio's just went legal. There's a couple other states around me anyway. My, my point being is I'm going to try to get into the cannabis marketing industry.
Speaker: Yeah, so I'm gonna apply my photography skills, learned skills, learn skills from martin as a hobbyist and what I pick up in college and all that good shit to to the real world application and dive back into the cannabis industry in a different way other than inventory control.
Speaker: yeah so And I'm hoping with that will come some traveling to different states as well. I'm hoping and I can, uh, maybe freelance, uh, sell pictures to like high times or, and I'm just not saying I'm going to get high times guys. no Aspirations. Sweet for the fences, man. Sweet for the fence. Well, I mean, as, as the cannabis industry is coming online more and more in different states, I mean, hell it's over half the country now.
Speaker: Like there's websites, there's marketing campaigns. There's so much out there that there's this, this industry is still picking up and going hard. I might as well, you know, throw my last one to an attach, you know, right. Right. Right. Headfirst into the flames, man. Yeah. But, um, yes, I start August 22nd.

I do plan on applying those skills to help out the network. And that is definitely a thing. um What else i was going to say? Oh, shit. My mind just escaped me at the moment.
Speaker: like I said, it's not a paying gig yet. writer for joe ro Yes. the yes So paying gig. No, it's not. But as soon as I start, as soon as I get out of my first physical photography class, and I get all set up, which I got to come up with a photographer name, like a, like a so ah signature, like, you know, website and all that, but I'm gonna start freelancing. um I'm gonna try to break in the candas cannabis industry, photography wise, as soon as possible. But if I got to start off with doing, hey, I'm doing wedding pictures in the trail down the road, or I'm doing family pictures or something, I'm fine with that. I'm gonna, what I can, I'm gonna build my portfolio. There's places around here where I can go apply those skills to.
Speaker: car shows and all that kind of shit. So I'm gonna I'm gonna try to get into shit like that. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you just just kind of, you know, like anything you do, you know, you you you you want to hone your skills and and and you know, a I had Darren on last week. Darren honing. He's just getting into the music world. And we talked about that, you know, we talked to you know, he You can write a song and and whatnot, but he's still trying to find his voice, you know, you know, and and he knows that like some of his songs don't sound the best or the don't sound the greatest, but he's still trying to find his voice and he's practicing and he's learning and he's taking advice and.
Speaker: You know, it's like anything you do. hell I mean, I'm still, on I still learn something new every day and and and try something different every day. Speaking of trying different things, by the way, we're doing a new thing here on Monday nights. And I forgot to mention that because I'm not used to it. So I got to learn to be better about that. We're going to turn Monday nights into an open panel. So just like a little different from Saturday nights, but the link is in the chat. Uh, anybody who wants to come on, we are dropping the invitation for men only, as this is a men's men's mental health podcast.
Speaker: Uh, if you want to come on and take part of the conversation or come on and get some stuff off of your chest, even if it doesn't pertain to the conversation, that's perfectly fine. That's why we're, that's why we're trying something new here. We're dipping our toes in the water with that, uh, uh, a new, a new adventure or a new beginning, whatever you want to call it. Um, so the link is in the channel. You got to do is click on that. And we do ask you to please turn your camera on and same rules apply to Saturday nights.
Speaker: Please turn your camera on if you can and nobody wants to see you're waiting. So put your package away. Amazon don't work here. Yeah. So I want to, you know, I want to, I want to ask you believes with, i mean you know, obviously there's excitement involved with going back to school and and starting this new potential career path. And, um,
Speaker: and getting to learn a whole bunch of new stuff. But is there any, is there any fear or I don't want to say hesitation. Cause I don't think you're, you're hesitating at all with it. Oh, I'm scared. am. I am anxious as fuck. I am scared as a motherfucker. So I am. I'm not scared to the point where I'm petrified, but like I haven't been, I haven't, I haven't been. it So for two reasons, it's been,
Speaker: It's been over a decade since I've taken a college course. It was 2010. 2010 was the last time I did college. um I did get my associate. So yes, I'm going for my bachelor's and in a liberal arts degree. oh I'll be quiet. i am I'm, I'm only scared because I understand it's going to be a huge dump on my like daily life. Like, Oh my God, I got to do like 30 to 36 hours of college during the weekend. Full -time college student again. And that's a little like, Oh shit. That's a little scary, but the work wise I'm looking, I'm really not that scared. Like I'm like, I've done it before and I was good at it. And I know I'm rusty as fuck.
Speaker: And the fact that it's all online now. So a lot of it's gonna be like I Have to make sure like I am constantly focused on okay checking my ASU daily You know making sure you know cuz I'm not meeting up in a class every day. Yeah, I'm not seeing like John in the hallway. Well, hey, man not not John in the comments but John in the John and John in the make -believe always like always How was your week? Oh man, it was great. I fucking studied for that exam we got on Tuesday, but oh yeah, I got it. Like, I don't have that kind of like, I should get there anymore. So, you know, I mean, I got to communicate with my family and let them know what's coming up so we can all make it a conversation or not because support's always good. It's not, with that support there, relieves a lot of the the the fear.
Speaker: um The biggest thing I'm actually, I guess it's just, fucking something up and not getting ah my, my, my accredited grade or something, because I made a mistake. I forgot to upload this document or whatnot. But yeah, um it seems since the last time I've taken college, like the whole, the whole idea of plagiarism is definitely combatted more. I'm not saying I'm
Speaker: I plan on plagiarizing or cheating, but I noticed that was a huge, a huge deal. So I have to make sure when I'm doing my papers, like my, my citations are all on point and my quotations are cited properly. Those little, all those little, um, those little nitpicks that a lot of us on our daily days lives just don't worry about. Like I have to make sure I bring those back in and I make sure, you know, it's,
Speaker: Dotting the eyes and crossing the T's so yeah, exactly and especially I think I think you know with with the AI Taking over the world. I think that's another reason why they've probably gotten so so hard on the plagiarism because it's very easy just to go 15th century Modern art, bobity blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then I just does your whole fucking does your whole paper for you. And it's just like, yeah I'll turn that in. You know, you didn't do anything except put in some some keyword. Now, here's here's an interesting kind of fear that I have. And I brought it up earlier about, you know, bringing and making a website so I can post my app portfolio, get my name out there and sell shit and all that.
Speaker: I'm going to have to put myself out there in a way that I've never really done in the way I've like, I've like, all right, you can go to IG type in blaze and blast femur and you'll find my IG page.
Speaker: I got to punch a bunch of pictures on there, a lot of good ones, a lot of ones that are not the greatest timing and lighting, but I got some decent ones on there. But this time I'm going to be putting them out there for the sole purpose of I want to buy that or I want you to come work or I want a session or you know what I mean.
Speaker: That because I'm not a big salesperson like I'm not that person that you know I've had friends that could sell a fucking a ketchup Popsicle to an old lady wearing a white gloves, but I couldn't sell water to a fucking Thirsty person in Arizona man. I suck at selling things. I'm not a salesperson. So The the fact that I'm doing it as a way to be self -sufficient in my own boss and whatnot. There's some fear there because again, nowadays you have to sell something. You have to sell yourself, sell your product. It's all about salesmanship and yeah.
Speaker: i totally I totally get that 100%. That's how it was when when we, you know I was a little bit naive when we started doing this podcast thing. When I started doing this podcast thing, I was like,
Speaker: You know, I'm just going to tell people when I started the podcast and you know, I've got a following on TikTok. I've got a following here, you know, they'll come and follow. They'll come and support it. No, they don't. That's just, I'm sorry, dude. Don't laugh. Um, yeah, you might have a million followers on TikTok, but the moment you go to a different platform and start doing something different, you start that grind all over again. And that was my biggest fear because I went from just randomly doing live stream.
Speaker: to, I'm gonna do this actual podcast thing. And now in the last six or so months, whatever, when we started really changing things around and you know I started doing this show and i you know I started this show and then I started, you know clicks out some music with the and and you know and when I first started, I was just playing music because I didn't know how to reach out to people and how to ask for for them to come on and be guests on the show.
Speaker: um And then it was like, I'm going to change Wednesday nights. I'm going to rebrand Wednesday nights. And then, you know, but, but creating the social media going from, you know, like my personal social media, which, you know, I wasn't huge or super pop famous or anything on Tik TOK, but got a nice little following on there.
Speaker: And it was like, now I'm changing the game up. And I was so nervous and so scared because I don't know what I'm doing at all. In all honesty, I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. I don't know how to promote myself on social media or promote a network or promote, uh, you know, all you guys, I just, just try and hope for the best at the end of the day. Um, but I totally get that, you know, you're putting yourself out there and that's kind of how I was like, Hey, I'm starting this podcast and I'm now I have to rebrand, you know, I have to,
Speaker: recreate all this new social media, but I'm not just doing it just to have it. Now I'm doing it with a purpose, you know, like, dude, that's a, that's a good, that's a good point. Cause I didn't really start jumping online and streaming until like the COVID times. And that was cause I think of board and I never did it.
Speaker: With any prospect of making any sort of monetary gain or social status gain or or or whatever, it was just killing time. the And now that I've jumped back up here and it is more of a that could be a potential that we could work toward.
Speaker: It does it does kind of change the game a bit mentally. It's like you have to take shit a little bit more serious you have to like But okay, um I have to have a reason to be here not a really like besides just being there but like some sort of like Content motivated. Yeah Yes, yes said just come up here rambling like I used to do back in the day and I still do I feel do We all do but we do it we do that we you know we try to we
Speaker: we're not When I first got into streaming, it's been at this point about a decade ago. ah It was an outlet. It was an escape for me because I didn't have, i and I didn't have a lot of friends in real life. I didn't get out of the house. I mean, I literally went to work and came home. That's all I did. And then on Saturday nights, you know, my kids would be in bed and and I couldn't sleep anyways. And my ex wife, she was working cause she worked weekends nights. So it was just like, you know, when she was home and, and, and, you know, if we did have the rare occasion where it was weekends, she was usually making plans with her friends and I wasn't getting the invite. So I was like,
Speaker: I kind of dabbled around with Twitch a little bit. Um, when I would be playing like call of duty or Madden or something like that. And then I discovered you stream and I was like, let me check out the shoe street thing. So I started doing some lives on there. didn't It wasn't, it was just became an outlet and an escape for me to be able to have some kind of interaction with people. And, uh,
Speaker: You know, Ustream kind of went away and about the time that Ustream went away, Periscope popped up and there was no, there was no, I just got on there and I was drinking. Like I was getting fucking hammered on Saturday nights and I would get on there and, you know, stay up all night drinking and just be on Periscope doing God knows, doing God knows what, but there was, there was people there, you know, there was people to talk to. And, and, and I didn't, I didn't feel so alone in the end of the day.
Speaker: So, and then I, you know, that was, that was my one day a week to just have fun. And then, you know, Periscope started to kind of fade and the kids were, TikTok came about and the kids were on TikTok and they were playing with it. And and and I was like, let me get on here just to kind of babysit and monitor the kids and make sure there's nothing crazy.
Speaker: and they're like Dad you just you should make a video and then after them bother me for a few months. All right Let me let me see this ticky -tocky thing is all about, you know, what I mean I started making videos and people started following me and liking and comment and then there you had to have a thousand followers at the time before you could go live and I hit that mark and I was just like go live on sick talk, you know periscope started to fade out and And I started going live on TikTok, but that's all it was. It was just, it was just my one night a week to have some kind of social interaction. And my numbers started growing. I started getting followers. There was people in my lives and there was no thought or effort at all. So I kind of, when we first started this podcast, it was kind of my mindset was.
Speaker: and Get on their fucking talk. I mean now I do that every Saturday night as it is ah You know, but it wasn't until later on down the road where I was like, dude, I want to start talking to Jeff I want to have I want to do something with this, you know, obviously this is a dream of mine and It's been a dream of mine for many years Yeah, and then we started, you know, we we shifted gears and started trying to find content and create content you know whether doing like this, the starting five little competition that we did or, you know, I used to do weird news, you know, segments or, you know, I used to do a thing because it was so hard to get my co -host Jeff and and other co -hosts to be involved and really out take, they just wanted to be in the passenger seat, you know, so they didn't want to do it. So it was like, all right.
Speaker: everything i was yeah like Everything I was coming up with, I was coming up with the ideas. I'm not saying I've never been done before or anything like that. But then it was on me to run it. now like I used to do deep dives. And that's where I talked about cryptids and paranormal stuff or like dark secrets of Disney and and just random shit. And now now it's evolved into where we are now.
Speaker: Monday nights being Men Can for Men and Tuesday nights being Glicks House of Music where that's my opportunity to spotlight up and coming local artists and musicians and give them the give them a platform to hopefully help help them out and and get that music scene. And then Wednesday being what the fuck news. Yeah, it's comedy based, but it's like goofy ass news stories that we can sit around and talk about.
Speaker: Thursday nights, you know, we just started with, with cash, cash is corner. I know he loves wrestling. I'm a big wrestling fan. <unk> And then Fridays, who's argument, whose argument and it whose arguments argument is that anyways, with, with blaze, you know, there's a method to your madness. And then Saturday nights is the free for all. We just act a fool on not sensible nonsense, but that's fun. That's, that's Saturday night, man. We're having fun. We're having a good time. And then we wind down the week with chest garage, but it's,
Speaker: It's all content based, which was a really long roundabout way just to kind of shut up the network and shamelessly. I figured that's what you were doing, but I'm not going to argue with you. I mean, yeah that was no that was that that was that was clever. i tell you but ah But no, you know, it's all content based and we're trying to create something, which is what you want to, you know, before, yeah, I'm just going to throw my pictures up there and people like them. They like them. Now you want people to see them and you want yeah you want people to follow you. You want people to.
Speaker: to like them. And it is it is very scary to to to to put yourself out there like that. Even some days it's like, I got to do something on social media, but I don't know what to do. What's going to give somebody's attention? What if it's, what if it's a dumb video? What if it's a bad video or what if it's a clip that I think is funny, but it's not going to resonate with anybody? yeah Well, there's, there's other things I want to do. Like I started when, when I lived in Oregon, I was starting, I had a, I had, I have a good friend out there.
Speaker: which I need to hit up, that he's ah he's a professional glassblower. He's a glass artist. And I think I just froze. Oh, no, there I go. And I was starting to do videos of his of him doing his stuff, and the dude is phenomenal. And I just i want to get back into that. And and I think photography will definitely Steering back on course to where I was trying to be at one point Tom in my life and hey um fuck yeah, I Didn't know Glick was talking to his son. Oh No, you're good. You're good um Wow It was something I was gonna say so he had brought up periscope and
Speaker: And after that, we, sorry, I was still listening, him but my son, Oh no, you're good. I'm sitting here. I realized you were gone. And I'm like, yeah I just went b blank. I don't know what the rain really about yeah he's like coming here tried to talk to him. I got noise canceling headphones. on Oh, I know how I wanted to tie this around. Um,
Speaker: So in a way, so there for a few years, a few years a couple of years, I was absent from from the streaming platforms, the streaming world, regardless of how small I was on it. But it was something I always wanted to kind of do, mostly mostly because I'm a person that likes to have conversations about various topics. I really enjoy political and theological discussions. However, just having conversations at all is great for me. the That's one reason why I jumped up on Periscope there toward the end, because sort of like the beginning, not the beginning of of Periscope, but the beginning of me getting online, I would skip there to troll people like from the comments section.
Speaker: and you know my history of doing that. yeah and meant i would i was um One day I was trolling this this legitimate, this i don't want I'm trying not to get political and I'm not going to, but I was trolling this one guy that had a very um unpalatable political, ideological position.
Speaker: And he challenged me to come up and talk to him. So I did. And even though I found this guy's morals and political views and a bunch of other stuff like really like just apprehensible. we so We were still able to have that conversation on a humanistic level. And I've always enjoyed that. So after I got out of my funk and all that shit, I started popping back up on here.
Speaker: in a way doing all this is like a new start for me. Yeah. From like an old start, but kind of a new way to re -engage it more because I'm taking it more serious now. At least I hope, I hope that I don't know. Um, but, uh, cause I have, ah I have, I have a lot of creativity inside of me. I like, I have a, I have a decent imagination, I think. And I've,
Speaker: i'm I'm not saying I was forced to repress it, but I wasn't in places in my life where the people around me were um responsive to it, acceptable of it. And now i've come to I've come to the conclusion, not just the conclusion, but the reality that those people ain't on my life anymore. So I can re -engage with those things that i i I do love in life. And this is one of those things.
Speaker: so No, exactly. you know a it's like ah It's like a restart. You find something that you're passionate about. and i think it happens I think it happens to a lot of people. and i mean hell it's I know it's happened to me citizen just since we started. that There was a point in time where I lost focus just because there was so much drama and bullshit. I lost focus. and and you know and I was already kind of in a bad way as it was.
Speaker: So it was just like, all right. Where before it's like, I'm not going to engage fucking stupid people. I found myself engaging them more and more often. And it was, it it was just like, man, that it is like, you know, then it's like, man, I feel like an ass because we were having a good show and then somebody comes in and pokes the bear one too many times and I pull up and snap. And then I say things that.
Speaker: I won't say I don't, I don't necessarily don't mean, but I say things that I should have had restraint and held back on and not said, or, you know, whatever. So, you know, you know, and I've had to get, get that focus back. And it's just like, you know, now where we are, my mindset is love us or hate us. I don't care if you're watching us. Thank you. You know what I mean?
Speaker: If you hate watching this, great. If you love what we're doing and you enjoy what we're doing even better. But if you're watching, you're watching things. And, you know, I had to get back into that mindset of some people are going to come in and try to troll. So we had, yeah so instead of getting mad and getting angry or somebody doesn't like what you're doing, instead of getting mad and getting angry about it and just fucking turning around on them and start breaking their balls, busting their balls, they're either going to leave or they're going to stick around and be like, you know what? These guys aren't as bad as I thought they were.
Speaker: which um like on periscope You know the trolls would come in And I have people that I'm friends with to this day still we still conversate we may not have met in person but but I'm still I'm friends with them and And they started out as trolls and it was like alright you want to troll I control I control with the best of them So let's go the only difference is is you're on a keyboard and my face is plastered on this fucking camera. So Do some of my earliest trolls a couple of has become some of my My favorite viewers. I don't keep in contact with them anymore. This is definitely they have today's But I had one one troll in particular that would troll me and then after a while He kind of just gave up because it wasn't really working. He just became one of my normal viewers. It's kind of fun. Yeah so yeah, there's quite a few people like that that they they just started out as trolls and and
Speaker: You know, once like my other viewers, because people will come in and start trolling on Periscope and my my other followers and viewers, which is like fucking pit bulls, man, just the council. And especially if I jumped, it was just, it was a free for all. It was fair game. It was it was lights out game over. If I started making jokes and having fun and fucking with them right back and whatnot, then.
Speaker: my viewers would kind of follow up my lead and do the same. And then they would turn into regular viewers. The next thing you know, it was four months down the road and they're in every Saturday night. Oh, Hey, what's going on? luke you know What's up? ah One of my, one of my very good friends, somebody I call a brother, he started out like that. He actually got blocked twice on my periscope. He would just say some God awful fucking weird shit. and It was just like, dude, calm down. And then I would block him and I unblocked him. And then I blocked him again. And,
Speaker: down the road, I unblock him. I'm like, look, man, you got to calm down. And then come to real, you know, with becoming friends and realizing, like, my guy's going through some dark days, you know? So that makes a little bit of sense. But, you know, hell, he's been on this show. He's been on this show in particular. He's been on other shows on the network as well.
Speaker: came on here and shared his story and we talked about some things and it was a really good show with him uh and he still comes into the comments from time to time and says some weird shit and then texts me and he's like i got you didn't i shut up awesome try to do a fucking show i don't got time for your bullshit but no it's yeah you know sometimes sometimes we just You know, like, like we talked about a couple of weeks ago, man, you just got to take that break and reset and and then come back and and restart and start all over. And, you know, uh, I think I've said it. I know that guy the guys feel the same way. I can speak for everybody. We enjoy having you. Especially, especially when we learned who a certain troll was or like, ah, that makes sense. Yes. Yes.
Speaker: I might, I might actually divulge that one day on the upcoming episode of whose arguments is it anyway. You don't even make a guest appearance. That is weird. But I do. I do. I have a.
Speaker: I do have another YouTube account that I will leave comments in the streams here on the non -sensical network. Now, that's closed trolley as a usage no thats like it' still so the as hell, though. It is. Now, we'll see now at this point, the only time I really use it, because it's the, so I have my laptop and it has my primary YouTube account, the Blaze and Blast Viewer.
Speaker: Then my mobile device, when I'm out door dashing or out driving around or out running errands and stuff, I have a separate YouTube account on my phone, which is that one. And so when usually ah if I'm in the comment section under that account, it's because I'm not around my laptop and and't want I want listen and comment in and stuff.
Speaker: that please has a different personality ladies and gentlemen I do I got multi multi personalities. I mean we all do we all wonder who his alter ego is. so Oh, I already has fucking high school dick reading but We'll, we'll turn that into a game. Guess who's blazin's alter ego is and you'll win a prize. Oh, I do. I should put that on trivia on trivia break on Friday night.
Speaker: about Wrong answers only. Wrong answer. Oh, I'd have to make it right. Answers only then. I don't know. I don't know, man. Friday nights, I don't I know we're going off topic again, but Friday nights, if I start going past the two hours, I might have to have some backup break trivia questions. Yeah. Well, like I said, we got a plethora of music. All you got to do is let me know if you run out of trivia questions. I know I do. I do need to pick your music collection. So yeah. Well, you suggested that I got to make time for it. You suggested doing a Spotify playlist, which, yeah you know, I didn't know that I could do again.
Speaker: a new beginning. I'm going to venture down another avenue, another way to support support these artists, not only by having them on here and playing their music and whatnot, but I'm going to create a playlist and I'm going to fill it with nothing but music by the artists that I interview. And I'll be able to share that playlist out and, you know, get more ears and eyes on on the playlist. And who knows? I might slide some of our audio in there. I'll give you like a five
Speaker: five to 10 minutes snippet of our show and slide in there or something. You know, I and know this is totally off topic. I think we're already off topic. um That's one thing I like about this network. I know there's only a few of us, but it's a few of us, it's a few of us enough that we each have different perspectives and come from different parts of the life when we bring in different ideas some shit totally fucking shit I'm guilty of that myself but some of them pretty fucking good and they're just because they're different from different perspectives and I dig that I fucking I dig that I like a
Speaker: Because I like the ultimate thing is, you know, conversation, et cetera, et cetera. But there's some differences there and there's some ideas that pop up and some exploration of ideas. And I'm getting very repetitive. I sound like they're old. I sound like our previous president the fucking way I'm talking right now. Oh, Holy shit.
Speaker: No, no, I agree with you, man. and we weve we got we've got We've got a really, I said this before, but I you know i believe it more more so now than ever. we We have a really solid core group of guys and and we can bounce ideas off of each other. and And we're not afraid to tell somebody, you know, maybe maybe not.
Speaker: do this i get I get told no a lot and I'm just joking when I say that. But and I want to bring that up on this program here for a specific reason.
Speaker: um It is healthy to to not like somebody else's idea. It is healthy to accept the fact that other people are not going to like your ideas.
Speaker: um
Speaker: don't Don't get scared. Share your shit anyway. List other people's ideas anyway, because you you never know. yeah You just never know. Go ahead. You wind up you wind up you getting a a false narrative. you know it's like it's like these It's like these people who show up on American Idol that can't fucking sing for shit, but they've been told their whole life by their family. Because nobody was honest with them. Yeah, nobody was honest with them.
Speaker: You know, sometimes, sometimes Jeff has come up with some shit. And I'm like, dude, it's not a good idea. so and And I'll tell him like, they and I'm like, you know what, fuck it. After like the third or fourth time, I'm like, you know what, fuck it. Let's do it. i would Let's just do it. And then he has to see it. And then he realizes, oh, yeah, that was that happened. So that's that's that is a creative process. Other other times, I mean, I've i've come up with ideas and just like,
Speaker: probably not a good idea. I'm like, see, that's why I run this by you before I just do it. Or I'll run it by you guys. Because it's like, if it sounds like S and just tell me it sounds like S because i'll I'll be like, I'll take a second thing. I like, I'll go around the block inside my head again. And be like, you know,
Speaker: are they being assholes or are they serious sometimes sometimes positing an idea it's like everybody laughed I don't know if they're laughing with it because it's an idea or they're laughing at it you ready I'll try it I'll find out afterwards
Speaker: Sometimes we're just like, yeah, that's a great idea. Go ahead. Do it, Connor. That sounds like the best thing I did just because we were assholes. This is simply brought up, Connor. Connor, this isn't about you. This is about the plan. It is about you, Connor. It's all about you, Connor. I think I'm going to give you a fucking complex. Nice. Oh, I want everybody to know. All right, so Connor sent us a voice message today on our group chat and I'm sitting there listening to it and I'm walking down the trail at the time so I'm not listening to the words per se but I'm listening to his tone and in his voice the inflection in his voice
Speaker: And I'm sitting there, I'm like, this motherfucker needs to like read bedtime stories because he has that. He has one of those voices that will put you to sleep because it's just so was boring.
Speaker: And no, no, it's not boring. It's not boring. It's like a it's really like like like ah like Morgan Freeman or Seth Andrews. Seth Andrews is a podcast writer. He's too sometimes. He's going to come back with such an ego. You know that, right? That's fine. But I don't, I say this as a compliment, dude. Like if you were to write, like if you were to go into reading books for like, for audio books, man, I think you do pretty fucking good. But if you'd like, but if you read a book like um Pride and Precious,
Speaker: and And you read, I probably fall asleep, not saying that you're reading it in any bad way. It's just, it's so soothing and comforting. there's that there's There's a couple of true crime shows that I like to watch and I put them on because I know I'm going to fall asleep because the narrator just has like, it's like, they're talking about something horrendous, like a murderer who cut up 14 people and turn them into hamburgers and sold them at his meat shop and I'm like.
Speaker: so won yeah because the narrators reallymi yeah yeah i probably shouldn't i probably was sitting telling everybody this right now but So that backfires sometimes like I said, there's a guy listed to his name is Seth Andrews um he does ah he does a podcast weekly and Sometimes his guests are kind of like and not like exciting but not totally boring and And the conversation is just what it is. It's a good conversation. And because of the monotone voice or the soothing voice, I'll fall asleep. But sometimes I'll turn around like, you know what? I'm gonna listen to some Seth Andrews and get some good sleep. But he'll have this guest on in this riveting conversation. A few hours into it, I'm like,
Speaker: Uh, it's three o 'clock in the morning. I got an early one. Yeah. ah I don't know if the figures are out yet or not there, Dave. No, there's, there's a guy that I really like on, uh, on, on YouTube, Mr. Baldwin. And he does, um, tales of the strange, weird, dark and mysterious type stuff. What stuff that I'm into, like some haunted stuff, some, some like true crime stuff, you know, medical mysteries, just weird shit.
Speaker: but I know I can only listen to them. I can only watch his YouTube videos. Like if I'm driving in the car or if I'm sitting on the throne, taking a big old shit, because I know if I were to like sit down and it's happened, actually, I've sat down on the couch listening to one of his episodes because he just got that perfect voice. It just calms and relaxes you. And it's just like, God, this is such a good store. I'm out. Good night. Yeah.
Speaker: But I totally get that. I totally get that. But now let's let's get ready to wrap this bad boy up. I got to go eat some dinner before it gets too much later. I don't know if those new McFarland Batman figures are out, dude, but I think they are. I honestly haven't heard anything about them. I'm looking up McFarland. Dude, it's like based off of the 90s Batman series. It's pretty cool. Anyway. Oh, excuse me. No.
Speaker: Ah, nice. I'll have to look into those. Like I said, I don't know anything about them. I'm so far out of the action figure statues.
Speaker: He's out. He's outgrown the action figures, but he still watches the wrestling. Not by not not by choice. Unfortunately, the action figures, the action figures have have outgrown my wallet. Oh, no, shit. Right. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Trust me. They're not toys. They're collectors items. Yeah. so i Jack up the price says the guy who spent three hundred dollars on a on a custom made championship belt.
Speaker: I had a thought about that the other day. It's going to get to a point where this channel is going to get enough followers and you might get a YouTube plaque to put up. We might. um Where's that going to go? Like, subscribe and notify. Hit that bell, hit that like, hit that thumb up my butt.
Speaker: I just seen the other day that once your, once your channel gets so many views, you'll get a plaque. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. And the way, I don't know why I can't remember what the number was, but I was like, Oh, that's not what we have now. No, but, but we, we, we get a steady, we can get a steady amount of views. So I mean, we, we might get there. I don't know. I'll ship, I'll ship myself. I get an email from YouTube saying, Hey, congratulations.
Speaker: We're going to send you a plaque. I'm like, okay. Well, that means right there. just Share, like, and subscribe. That's, that's what I meant to say.

It's just like, bring it back in buddy. that I like, I like miss him doing fear factor. Yeah. He was called for a factor. I don't understand.

Then you brown, after you brown your burger, you just let it simmer, whatever. Then you put that on on top of the croissants. And then you slather on some sour cream, and then you put a fuck ton of cheese on it.
