[Assistant] I don't know, but I could also not know how to watch movies. So, I'm not a good, I am a dumb animal that just wants flashes in front of my face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I wanna watch the dog channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just like, I, uh, because I feel like I want to watch something. That's why I just go back to these old movies. I just don't want to have to get involved. And, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then so, and then like end of a new movie, like that's why Jason Statham is like, that's my guy. Cause that, I mean that his movies are just, he did a couple that were like, you know, it's like he's trying to get more serious and you're like, I don't, you're like, dude, if you do not fight someone,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should be able to flip a car unrealistically in the air. You should be able to fight every five to ten minutes of these hour and a half. I mean, it should just be that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that kind of stuff is, I'm way into. Like very, you know, dumbed down, you know, not, those movies are great, but they're just, they are what they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, people are getting so big now that it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, eh, you can't rel-, it's so unrelatable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's like the rock is like cartoonish and you almost can't believe he exists. And then you see it with the sports. I mean, sports, they're getting like, you're basically have to be born.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something crazy. You don't really have a chance. You gotta do what Steph Curry does. Who's still 6-3. And you gotta master another aspect of the game. And that's why it's very impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You look LeBron, you're 6'9", 230 or something and you can run that fat, like, it's, you're, you're beyond, you're your own. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, not everyone can be Barry Sanders out here. That's true. But Barry Sanders had to be, he had to juke every, you know. But I mean, the linemen are getting so big. Yeah, they're crazy. That's what they're, there was like something Deon Sanders thought about playing Alabama and he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he goes, he goes, the problem is the linemen. He, he's a, it's not quarterback, receiver, it's not that. It's the, he goes, we gotta give us time to get these linemen. The linemen are so big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're playing against, I mean, they're basically five guys that are just waiting to go drafted in the first round. Like, so then it's just like, I'm going to stay here for three years and then I'll get bigger and then I'll go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're closer than them to the camera. That's unreal dude. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my gosh. At first I thought, well, they're not that, and then you see you. That is insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, golly, dude, I'm actually pretty blown away. Yeaah, cause how tall are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, man, that's crazy. That's pretty crazy. Yeah, that's the difference. And that's, I mean, there's just not, there's not that many of those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean they're, you know, spread out everywhere. You're like Rudy in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just think, the average person, if you walk around and they thought I got to fight you, they would be like, ugh, like, you know, like, nervous to fight you. Cause you're like, it's kind of a big dude, like he's going to probably kill it. And then you look at, if they saw that picture, they would be like, I will murder that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Is that the best picture y'all could get? You only took one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it, I don't know when this comes out, uh, Nick Novicki is turning 40 this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, uh, buddy Doug Brown, who does the music, did the music, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had his 40th birthday. Happy birthday to both of those guys. And they, uh, so I was like, he did a thing where you had to kind of dress up. His wife put a great kind of golf themed event together and it was like, oh wear something nice or whatever. And so I had a suit that I, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, so you got fitted for that suit. And I put it on, I mean I can't even wear it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, it's gotten that wild. That's cool, isn't it? It's very cool. It's very cool. And it's very like, I just had to wear like jeans and like a button that shirt and like a found like a Jack and I was just trying to piece stuff together because I can't wear, I mean, I'm losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean this is a good thing so I'm not trying to sound like it's, but it's, I've never done this in my life. I've never lost like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is very exciting because I've never, I don't know what that feels like. You know, I've gone down in sizes, like I've been 36 and then you go to like a 34 then, or I'd always be like 35 like in there. And I mean, I think I'm, I have jeans that are 31 and I think I'd be a 30 or 29 now. And it's, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I put, and you put these clothes on, you're like, I don't want to buy anymore clothes right now. Cause you're just like, well I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's gonna happen? I can't even wear this. This stuff was from whenever the Grammys were. And it's already...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm in between belt holes. Hips are wide. Hips are so wide. And I thought, what? Like I'm looking at this guy. He's on hip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy's not being a hip guy. He's got a long torso. I'd say no hips, long torso. And what I'm reading here, giant hips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greg Garcia, uh, if you haven't seen it's on freebie, you can go to Amazon, uh, sprung, uh, baits and errand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Acting, TV, debuts. Both very funny. I watch both episodes, uh, they come out every Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, yeah, y'all were great at it. And it's such a good show. Greg is, uh, and we're hoping, uh, Greg should, I think, uh, we're going to hopefully get him on here soon. Uh, but Greg's the best. He's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normal of a guy that you could be, and for someone to be as successful as he is, uh, and have done as much as he's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, there's just nothing. There's no one like him. I mean, it's, it's, he's, he's a special, special person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, y'all will be back in it too. Uh, you know, if you're here for clean reasons, it's not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super dirty, but it's, it, it just don't, you know, just, just let you know. I gotta watch, I had no idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's your, yeaah, he wouldn't fit in. There's your clean dirty, where it's not, it's not like, obviously it's like, yeaah. He, I mean, he's definitely going. I don't know where else he would go, but, uh, but yeaah, he'll be, he'll be nice down there. If you, if you're, you know, if you end up down there, I'd, I'd, I'd look him up. Uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that probably would have worked better if you got it in before we did that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, my dad said, my dad had a Bible class, I think he said today, so Adam, the word Adam means man, where the real, uh, the root word for the name man is actually dusty. Did you know that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. A real man. Yeah. Yeah. Long hair, kind of confused. Exactly. I think nowadays for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think in, I think in 10 years, you're exactly what people are going to think of a man is just somebody can't really tell what it is. And then you talk to him and you go, no, that was a man. But when you walk up to it, you're like, I don't know what's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please do a physics episode. Physics could be fun. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Ron, you said as a guy that has done both of these things, drive with no windows down and jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree that if you're in this situation. If you're in the air falling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, ears are probably the last you're going to worry about. If you can survive that and you're like, we can't hear, it's going to be there. And someone, and you still go, should have covered the ears. That's what you still do. You sign it to them. Yeah. Should have covered the ears. Save all your body parts, you know, best you can. Best you can. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely agree with Aaron when it comes to sharing a hotel room. My buddies thought I was crazy when I brought this up two months ago. Another hotel etiquette. I love your take on. When checking out, I take the sheets and pillowcases off the bed and pillow. Paying it forward to make sure the next guest gets clean bedding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't do that. Absolutely not. Never heard of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're getting the point now. Oh dude, where did I, I had a tip? I had a tip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At, uh, like, uh, uh, it's not Hudson news. It was a different one in Denver airport. I was at Denver airport. A lot of stuff went down. Yeah. Yeah. I heard a lot of noise underground. They were moving day. Yep. And so, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's like a Hudson News, like one of those little convenience stores, but it wasn't Hudson News. And so it's a, I go and get all my stuff and wait in line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, she scans it and then I'm like, press the thing and it had a spot for it. She goes, they'll ask you if you want to leave a tip there or not. And I'm like, and I, and if I get, I get, if I, if I get so caught off guard, then I mean, I just left the tip because it's like, I'm just, I don't even know what's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so then I leave and then I'll walk out. I mean, it's pure insanity. You go, I'm just at a grocery store. Basically. I mean, you're doing, I went and grabbed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like even the yogurt thing, I don't know. I, I think this might've been my most frustrated one. Did they bag it for you at least? I mean, what? No, no, no, no. It's, it's, you, you, I mean, you know, the Hudson news. Yeah. It's that, it's that place. You go, I grabbed, I forget what I grabbed or, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything is, oh, everything is that. That's the charity stuff. All that, it's like, they get, they force you to do all their work. And you're like, are you not paying these


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, crazy. I love it too. So go to Mayor's game. Tip cash to the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Mariners are gonna, yeah, it's gonna be, like, those concession workers, it's gonna get the point of that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thanks. Yeah. Hot dog here. If you sign it, do not tilt. Maybe I'll move their mouth. Don't tilt. They're watching. We're being watched right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep your money, give it to me in the car, in my car at a, uh, I'll meet you at a hotel. Here's my Venmo. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dusty not knowing sports is such a welcome addition to the podcast. Love all the sports talk, but being a subject that the three hosts actually knew about didn't fit. So Dusty's cluelessness on sports in general fits perfectly. To get in the wheelhouse though, I'd love a NASCAR episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, you know that idea of what the game is. Yes. Yeah. So you know nothing about sports. I can talk about-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I, I, I don't sports gamble either and I, I know what it is, but I still always have to go like, I don't like when it's like minus 10 or plus that stuff, I don't know. And then over under, I would never, I do get it, but it's like, it's enough that I go like, it feels complicated. Then you're like, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether you could bet on, they should do like betting on if you win or lose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like it's like almost that simple. I, I, I think with gambling sites, it's, a lot of it is, it's, the numbers are, it's very intimidating where you're like, I can't get into, and you need to have one that's like, win or lose. You're like, I think, uh, Atlanta Braves are going to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do that, you can bet the money line. And even calling it the money line, no one knows what that means. I don't know what, like, the money line is enough to scare me off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's people that want to like that complication of it, but I would be more willing to bet if it was like, uh, cause I, if I ever do, I don't really ever do it, but if I ever did it, it's like I would do the money line. And I have to ask, is that what that means?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like, it should just be like, the winner and then pick them. The money line sounds like, like a good pickup line. You might bet, you might get, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you say if I bet on Vanderbilt, like if you bet a dollar, I mean, I'm basically describing, I don't think he can look as intimidating as me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah, I'd be thinking that too. Yeaah. But that's great. Yeaah. I would talk to that guy. Yeaah. I've ever, I've gone, like, I've gone to a horse, you know, and you go and you're like, yeaah, I don't know. You know. Yes. I'm not studying these horses. Yeaah. And so it is, you get someone to talk to them, yeaah. That'd be good. Uh, David Oakley. Oh, from the Oakley Sunglass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, surveyors have used trigonometry to, golly, accurately calculate. I mean, what a, out of the gate. The sentence is wild. Yeah, that's a big one. That's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, that's like someone that's like, he's going to get tired out. You're only about halfway done, by the way. I'm not even halfway done. Have you seen those? With the sentence. Oh, the sentence. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a big pa- surveyors have used trigonometry to accurately calculate the altitude of mountains for hundreds of years. In the 1830s, a young Indian man was hired to work


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For George Everest, who was his favorite Surveyor General of India.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's, he's Everest's? When they got to the Himalaya mountains, the government of Nepal,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He calculated the altitude of Mount Everest to be 29,002 feet. In 1999, scientists used a GPS transmitter to measure the height of Everest they found to be 29,035 feet. He was only off by 33 feet. Pretty incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, Range Funded. But I was saying that's what I would take from it. So you didn't get it right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he goes, no, but I was like 30, I was off by 33 feet. He goes, all right. But I'm just saying, right, right. From a hundred miles away. Yeah. A hundred miles away. You're off by 33 feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you didn't get it right. Someone didn't prepare the right stuff. Yeah. I mean, get your trigonometry straight. First guy goes up and he goes, I got 20,002 feet. And I was like, are you kidding me? There's more. And I mentally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he did the A and they go, alright, that's enough. That's enough. Just stop. Just stop. You're making it too long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brian Houston or Houston. New York, it's Houston street. That's their first big thing. Houston. Really? Yeah. Houston street is said Houston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the prison that Martha Stewart went to was a women's prison, FPC, Alderson, in West Virginia. After she went there, it became known as Camp Cupcake, partly because it was Martha Stewart's, and partly because if you had to go to prison, it is the one you'd want to go to. Oh, that's it? Yeah, this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have to go, you're still not at your house. Yea, you're still in prison. So there's a lot of stuff. It's not like it's like, she was like, I enjoyed it. She was like, I preferred it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if a lot of rappers think that. I tell you what, if I could go back, I wouldn't have described how it killed all these people in my songs. In great detail. In great detail. Cause that's the, that's what I give advice to the younger kids. I go, maybe don't, uh, don't use your own name. Don't use your name to have a blueprint for the, any detective that Ricardo Mutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Nate Bates Cellmates is 100% a TV show that has to be made. That sounds good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Bates already complaining. Uh, he's on a hit TV show and he goes, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when Greg comes, you can let him know your real thoughts. Well, he listens to this podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, he knows that. Matt Goodale, I tell him every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's why I always think it's fun to tell someone that I say, I think I would look glad we're friends now because after we die, we're never going to see each other again. So let's live it up now. That's a fun one to let people know what's up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At age 18, I went to prison for three years. During my stay I had two stints in the hole, one for 48 hours and one for five days. The five days of isolation felt like it changed me permanently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humans were definitely not meant to be isolated like that. It also must be mentioned, Colorado Supermax, the one hour you get out of your cell is in isolation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, it's a lot, it's a big, it's a, I mean you have someone to talk to, but better they not open them and let them go like hang out in the... Not according to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, Matt, I mean, Matt lived, he lived a life. Went to 18, yeah. I feel like when he was, when he was in prison, Matt wouldn't have been a fan of this podcast, but now look how he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's cause, well you wear the, you're wearing the uniform. So, uh, you wouldn't, they would go, we're gonna give you these same clothes you have on, but orange. That's what I think. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, yeah, if art of prison, anyway, you could go manual labor, anything if it's like we need you now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler Green, the CFL still plays with the goalpost on the field. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know that. I guess I've never watched Canadian football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if that's true. I don't know if that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they do up there. You can catch a, like, you don't have to, like, have a ball or something. They don't use a ball. Is that what it is? It's my church basketball joke. It's just honest. He goes, nah, that one, he went yard with it. They're saying, they're like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can do some of that. I mean, we have going sideways. I don't think it's that different. But it's not like Doug Flutie didn't come from Canada Football League and go to American Football and then he's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He goes, what's this ball? Who's this? What are these men doing near me? Like it's a, it's the same sport. I'm not saying you wouldn't recognize it, but I'm saying it's a lot of weird differences. They do the thing where they run, but I almost think you could, uh, cause you do that and you can't, but you can go sideways. You can go side to side. Yeah. You can't run vertically. Yeah. They do that. That's kind of fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think they would say, instead of getting on the ground, they would go, well then your second thing should be do nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I go, but when do you lay on the ground flat out? They go, uh, like if you, I guess we're like, I'm going to commit suicide in this moment. He goes, I don't, there's no reason for you to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah, it's true. That is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's put another penguin and a penguin penguin in a penguin cage. Okay, this penguin was getting lonely so we threw another one in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I for some reason, I don't, I, but I don't know if I want to do it. Like I've always was like grossed out by like having, you know, the idea of like having to cut them open or whatever. Like I was like, this seems so insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like, uh, but I've been talking to Eric, uh, about it and cause he does, he hunts and, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the two, you always feel bad with the animal. It's like, I'm not, you know, but it's like this, I don't know. It's, I love being out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, see some real wildlife. How do I get quiet to see the real wildlife?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you could get some fresh meat this way too. I mean, you know, you get some fresh meat. But that's, you can, you eat off the land. You learn how to hunt. It's, it's something else to learn to know, you know, when, when all of it goes down, which could be happening already happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't wanna, you know, be like, I can go show you where the animals are. Right. But I'm not gonna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not going to do anything with them. You're like a tracker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, let's see what happens. Uh, so this week. This week we're talking about college. Opposite of living on the land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The opposite of pure survival. It's, it's, it's the direction of just, it's not going to work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I got lost in the woods at night. Did you have a compass or anything or would you have done that? It's like you kind of just fill it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And your eyes would be better. Your eyes might be better, like you just like, I'd rather not have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you could see the moon and stuff like that. I'd rather not see that. It's a bold, why'd you go out there by yourself to practice?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, get any dog there. Was it re-homed? Is that the word? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, re-homed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I don't know who's rescued, you are the, you know. Yea, we rescued each other. Yea, it's a but. I'm joking, I don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All your stuff is, you did all these things that got you, your biggest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is exactly what I want to do. Yeah, I'd like to look up the animal and know about stuff. But I think, aren't everybody probably looking stuff up about each other? Oh yeah. But maybe not as detailed as you are. It's crazy now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That number's always fresh in my head. Yeah. So you just go with it. And went to school for two years. 82, 84. College. Not you, but her. Oh yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think with this online dating is the theory you would think is the man doesn't need to look up the woman, but the woman...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she's like, I looked everything up with you, you would think that's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a, yeah, I would think the woman would be, it's like, go do your best to figure it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think, oh man, he's got a little journalistic instinct. Journalistic that makes you go back, you know. Or maybe that's why you got into the news. Or maybe I just worry for my safety. You're like, I need better resources.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She says, I like the woods. And he goes, I can't be doing that. Not at night, right? At night, are we together? No, I think we should walk separately and find each other. He goes, well, you go meet me at my friend's house. I can get us there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Did you have to pay already or did they let you like go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did, I delivered pizzas too. And then, uh, yeah, mine was, uh, I went to volunteer stake community college for one year and I had to take remedial classes because I got this 17 on my ACT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It used to be like a... You know, I went to Southern Union, and you're like, I banked there too. You know, Community College. You go, oh, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go to community college, you're gonna see dead bodies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just wrap your head around that. You're at our community college. Be prepared. Yeah, I did that right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you're looking, that's, uh, oh there, there, there, that is it. Uh, yeah. Oh, did y'all meet in that circle or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went into, we didn't back then, but I went into a couple buildings. Mine were on the outskirts. I was never in the thick of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were real buildings, but it was, you know, you, you could always park nearby. They, you know, they were trying to make it like, we're probably not going to keep going. And a lot of people in my class were older. What made you go for a full year and then not go back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I, well, the 17 on the ACT didn't help, which is unreal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, which we took. An 18 is like you're pretty dumb and a 17 is like I don't even know. Okay. What's your existence? Like what's the point of you? What's good? 36. Okay. 36 is perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's great. And we're in the same spot right now. How does that feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. Well I had a big go at it because I knew immediately that nothing was going to work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the 17 was not good. It was, I remember it being very embarrassing. Just cause it was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just, it was like the first, like, God, dude, you're just so dumb. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I would, then I go to class, no I didn't have classes with any friends. All my classes were like 40 year olds going back to school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then after that we went to Western, but I had a great time. And after that we went to Western, Kentucky. I went, uh, my buddies were going to go there. And so I transferred, I was going to go with them and I did the orientation and all that stuff. That stuff is super fun. I love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The idea of college is like the greatest, like that's my f- the favorite thing is like, your parents drive you up there, you go eat, you go to your dorm room, your, you know, pee, uh, was with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so we're, and then we go in there and you're like, he's on this, sleeping that side. I mean, it's the idea of what it is, which is the hain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the great thing about a regular college is like, you would have stayed longer for the hang. Cause the hang is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but even, the hang's different though cause you're going home. Yeah. Right. Like it's, it's like when you're all like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it's, I mean I love like the idea and setting it up and getting, well I'm gonna need this drawer to pull out and I'm gonna need like that kind of stuff dude. Uhm, I could do that all day long. I love, I could go, I think I could go pick stuff out for people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just cause I love the idea of like setting your room up and be like, you got a little here, you put all your keys and stuff here. And like I do it with, I get ba- I got so many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Backpacks and duffel bag, like, cause I, I always, I like being like, ooh, I'll go there. I like knowing where I'm going to organize my stuff. And that's as far as I go. And then it's like, we gotta go to class. You're like, wow, that's insane, dude. Why would I do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go, but you put, I'm not giving you a whole speech where I would do my homework. I'd have it all set up to go, this is perfect. I'll do it. And then I wouldn't, you know, I felt bold. Yeah. So yeah, I think I felt bowling. I missed. Yeah. It was like, Oh, you didn't even go to bowling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, and then he's like showing you how to really keep score and you're like, I didn't have the right mindset.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the only thing I wish when I was younger is like, I would have, I'd have liked to been more aware, be aware of what I'm doing. And I don't think, which may not a bad thing, I think I was very much always just kind of in the moment. What did you think your thing was going to be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, why, that's when I ended up, I did this, like just whatever, I did this one job where we drove around, I told that job right, the neon drunk driving simulator, and so I did this junk, it was a simulator, white neon that would drive drunk and you'd go to schools all over the country, and uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take them out to some bars and then we let them drive us back home and we go, see how much harder this is. And we're all laughing. It's like kind of fun. It's a good time. And, uh, you know, most go and some of them were like, you're actually better at it. You know, we do the opposite. We go, I'm going to be honest with you, dude. You were, you need some drinks. I would say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember one time this, uh, at the country club and then one of old hickory, old hickory country club, it doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this was a while ago. This was a while ago. But there, uh, but I remember this man was driving home and he goes, all right, I'll take a double vodka, whatever soda, whatever he's drinking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he goes, I'll take him to go cup. And it was like a new way, like bartender or something. That's like, well, he goes, well, we can't, he has a to go cup. He goes, yeah, I gotta go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's telling, I mean he's saying it, this is not, not like it was a long time ago, it's, it wasn't that long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the past 10 years, but it, it was, it was so, I kind of liked it. I'm not, I don't, you shouldn't drink and drive obviously, but in that guy's mindset is like, he was so confused to be like, what do you not understand what's happening right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need, how, what am I going to drink when I go home? And so he's like, so I drink this drink and I drive home. I've been doing it for 50 years. Like it's this mentality and it's like a younger person that's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know how to respond to this. It's so crazy. And I enjoyed seeing that, uh, you know, that guy hit a pole on the way home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, don't drink a drug. Uh, yeah. Earth's flat, everybody. A lot of mixed advice here. Earth's triangle, but don't drink a drug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we would go to these places and the car would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it drives like a normal car. And then I'm sitting in the passenger seat. But it is a real car. It's a real car. It's a neon. White neon. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you'd have, you'd build up a little track, kids would come out, I'd sit in the passenger seat, I'd drive, they'd drive in a circle and then, uh, I'd type in their weight and say they had seven drinks or something in their, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, no, but this was like you, uh, high school. It was like to go to school. It's a program to show people, you know, teaching kids not to drink a drug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, and then I did that and then, uh, and it was awesome. That job was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, but I'm saying, I don't think it's bad to be that kid that thinks like that. Like I wish I would have been, instead of being like, this is funny or whatever it is, even how I was processing it, just to be the kid to be like, no, no, that's, that's like, it's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's always kind of grounded a little bit. It just kind of grabs it and goes, uh, just, uh, before this goes away and y'all start cheering to bloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is how it works. And then Aaron, Aaron's still fun, lets it go. Still lets it go. Bates will not let his up. He holds it down and his is, the string is below it and his fist is touching the balloon. And we go, Bates, just let it go. Everybody wants to see it. You know, let everybody see the balloon. That's accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's correct. Dusty, I don't know. At one point, mine didn't even have a string. Yours doesn't have a string, and you go, I don't know where this balloon's going. Dusty popped his along the way. Show me where it goes. You'd want to know where the balloon goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so I did that, I did that job and then, uh, well then like with, like my parents were fine like wasting their time for Vol State. Like not fine, but it's like, they don't mind like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was $1200 or something, and I'm sure I got some kind of something. You know, not a scholarship, I got like a, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, probably, yeah, probably financial aid or just, uh, yeah, like, you know, you're an idiot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. There had to be something like that. And then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't like, my parents are, I'm like an old car that you're like, I'm not gonna put a bunch of money into this. Like it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, so when I went to Western, it was this semester and it just wasn't. And they, that one though, that's a real college and they're like, well, you can't go up there and, and you're wasting everybody's time. But I had a very fun time there for the semester I went, uh, the Hilltop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, Nappy Roots went there when I went there. So then I did that, then I came back here and I worked, you know, delivered stuff or, and then I worked for the water company. I would have just done that. I would have done, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'd probably still be at the West Wilson Water Company. Like, cause it was like a good, solid job and like, you could've just, you know. Yeah. Moved on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is funny, you need that warrior mentality. Totally. And, uh, and if you have any of that, like, kind of like, uh, I don't want to yell out. I feel uncomfortable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to be ruined for you guys so much. Uh, but I, this is insane. This is insane. I don't even want my urine to be that hot. I go, and who's showing it? How would you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then real, and then you probably play quarterback. Then they probably trimmed you down. You're like, dad, I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, maybe it is like more tough to be, mine's cold. You're like, because I don't feel anything inside. Oh yeah, could have spun it on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yee yee. That would have been if you, if you're smart enough to go to Yale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that, just throw them off to be like, I don't know. That's bloat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was he able to, he had to take tests or he cheated or something or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, yeah, I look, I'm, I'm, it's a weird balance of like, I don't know if I'm totally against, I'm not saying you do that, but like if I was at Harvard and that guy did it and if he could, if he was legit, like A's in classes and stuff, you're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a guy you want on your, he thinks outside, he's thinking outside the box, like he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's like, it's not just a robot that's like doing stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's he up to these days? Is he a success or did he? A lot of drinking and driving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 25. Like a bachelor's degree? Yea, I'm going 30. Uh, no one knows what that means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Program. Right. That's kind of speeds up. Yeah. I would think to go get, master sounds so good. Yeah. I didn't know they were just handing them out in a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm guessing that was the exact number, I'll say, uh, twenty-seven. Twenty-seven. I'm sticking with thirty. Thirty-eight. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's a doctor, and doctor means you're like, you can put doctor in front of your thing? It's a PhD. Can you get it in anything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's a, no, that's the Masters MBA. Yeah. Uh-oh. Masters of Business. But you can be called a doctor without being a doctor, right? Without being a medical doctor. Is that a doctrine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Pretty crazy. What else do you keep learning? When do you learn? When do you go, that's enough?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, it feels like college might be dragged out more than it should be. It can be. It can be a lot. Nah, cause it's so, it's so much money now. So it's like, it's in their best interest to do that. I would think experiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Experiences, I think, the greatest thing. Like, so I could see you going to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say going to, uh, what's the other schools called? The trade school or something like that. They're probably like, hey, we're showing you how to do all this stuff and then you gotta go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Figure it out. It's like that should be like that in regular college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cole will be prepared. We prepared a young man. For college. To go, Cole's going to be here next year. He goes, that's college. I'm stupid. I don't believe in it. And you go, all right, uh, he goes, you know, there's a triangle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know business is happening. I don't know if I'd have even been that broad. Like, you know, what do you want to major in? And be like, basketball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they go, okay, okay. I should have asked what I think I did communications.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just, I did not know what that meant. But I, I just, I think I was like, I guess maybe I could talk about sports radio. But I looked at it as...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was interviewing to be a sports radio guy, like that's in my head. Yeah. I took speech. I got an A. Got an A in speech. A in speech, F in bowling. Is speech a college class? I minored in speech. You took, your class was called speech? Different types of speech. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, what was the title? Did you go in and go, welcome to speech?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had no goal and that was the problem. That's the thing, colleges, if you don't have a goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's probably a good thing. I've never had a goal. Yeah. If you don't have a goal, like it's like, then don't, then don't waste your time. Like my dad went to college late, which was good. Like he, I'm like 25 or something, whatever it was, 26.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I was born and, uh, that's the, oh, the picture of me and him up there is Treveka. He went to Treveka. Derek went to Treveka. And they, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but I would think, yeah, if you don't have a, if you don't like know what you want to go do, it's, you know, yeah, you should at least have an idea. Like to be like, nah, I kind of, at the end of high school, I think that's what I would have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like to been like, maybe I would have liked to know what I was gonna go do more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, if you're out there, like if you're like, I know what I want to like, and it could change. You're always going to be open to like, that's the fun part I think about life is like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta go, I want to do this, but I'm also open that I might end up hating this and then I'll end up doing the opposite of this. Cause that's a lot of times happens. Uh, but like I would say, if you don't know anything, if you don't have a goal to go to, it's like, then just go, don't go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then just be like, I'm going to go work some odd jobs and I want to kind of just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See what I'm like into. And then, you know, and then you just see from there. You might, I mean, if I would have known how many jobs there were, I think that's the thing too. You don't know how many jobs there are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you don't know shooting, them shoot, y'all shooting this stuff here. Like that's a job. Like so you don't think, I, I did it. I'm sure smart people do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you don't think of like anything, like people that make commercials, the people that do the music and, uh, song, you know, in, uh, movies and our whatever it's, you know, I don't know, being a ref or being a bass, like, or whatever, whatever it could be an art building a stadium and arc, you know, like get a degree in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to play in a city. I would like to play in a city. I think you will. It'll be your own city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How's it doing? I bet they, I bet we could relate to the 10 people with being a 2000 people. Like it's a weird. What do you mean? Like 20, 30, 20, 37, 20, like it sounds weird. Like to them, they're like, it's 10, 18, it's 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No? Yeah. I don't know if I get what you mean. I guess they went to the date or like the year. The year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, but when you're, when you're the zero, 2124 is when he came, you know, when Columbus came from the Mars to Jupiter. That's the new Columbus. And, and then, so, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like back then, 10, if you were like, you know, when you go to school, uh, 10 31, you're like, that sounds weird. Yeah. And that's like, you know, we're not like, I graduated in 2020, 2022 sounds good, but you know, when you get, when we get to 2028 and you're like, that's weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be to have to say, when were you born? But I used to also could say 99, but then it would be like, you could be born in 99 and then it's 1099.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is probably where the tax thing came from. That's right. That's when they started doing taxes. That's when they started doing taxes. And then, uh, and then you're like, no, you had a, no, $9.99. Right, right. You're like, that's going to be our prices for a good deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get my, yeah, I had a gap year cause they wouldn't let me go to college. So they made me wait it out and go, just look, dude, just go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deliver pizzas. See the county.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get out there, dude. You don't know what, what is in Davidson County. Go check it all out. Maybe hop over to Wilson, see what they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think before, I guess, but you gotta have some money. I mean, like, that's the thing, the idea, that's the thing that frustrates me with, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I even, like, people that could write this or suggest this, this is the thing that makes me the most mad. Is you wanna go, no one can afford to do this. What are you talking about? Like to be like, it's good to go take a gap year, of course it would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your parents have the money that you can go to Europe or you can go travel, it's, and I'm, and I'm not even saying those people can't do it, they should go do that. But don't then go to other people, this is what you should do. Be like, well, I can't, we can't afford it. I'm not, I don't get to fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's the, that's my biggest problem with almost like the world. Like not what is a lot of problems, but like the, the talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that people that can afford to do stuff, they just act like they don't remember. And it's not like my, my parents did awesome. They did, they did everything, sacrificed everything to get me to even where I'm at, even today, but even back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, just as when I was their age, I couldn't afford to send my daughter anywhere, but it's like, you don't just act like every boy, you should all be doing this. And you're like, yeah, that sounds amazing. We should all be going to Harvard. We should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should all go to Harvard, you're right, but they're not going to let us all go to Harvard. Like, that kind of stuff is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that, I have the biggest problem with that. Yeah, it's annoying. It's a very disconnect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just going like, did you not grow up? Like I know, uh, uh, she didn't. Cause you're, yeah, but like Obama, like, I don't think that he grew up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything, but you want to go and it's like, and they're not saying this, so I'm not saying he's saying it, but it's like the idea though is a lot of like elite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they tell, they just, oh, and that's the thing, they say it on like podcasts, they say it on like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You figured life out and then you're like, well everybody should do it this way or we'd have a great life. You're like, well there's a lot of circumstances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean they don't even, yeah, it doesn't even mean anything to them to go like, well why don't you do that? I mean they had that with COVID where it was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had with like Howard Stern does it where he goes so crazy about COVID and you're like, you have to live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You live in a house that everybody in America would be like, Hey, you got to go live in that house and you can't leave it. And we'd all be like, okay, thank you. Sounds great. It's that. And then he, it's like, why are we going back? And you're like, I mean, dude, do you not think about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always think those people can't, they either think, they're so rich that the only thing they can think of is like homeless on the street poor. And that's the only poor that they know. They don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a single mom trying to make it by. They only know, like, well he's on the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you're like, yeah, but I mean, most everybody else is trying to barely stay off the street. Are there's people that are making just enough to like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All their money is being used. They're not, you know, they don't feel like they're poor or anything, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All their money's being used. They're not, you know, they're trying to barely put some way like, and no one thinks about, which is, we'll be the middle class everybody, but it's like that kind of thing is what's crazy to me. It's like they, but they just think homeless. And they say, well I'll just stay home. And you're like, no one can stay home dude. No one can do, like just have some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normalcy. No one can take a gap year. They call it, they're calling it, they got a name for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gap here was we were not allowed to go to school. Right, right. Or your parents couldn't afford it, or whatever it is. Whatever reason. And it's not on your, it's not your parents' fault either. It's like, what do you have to take out the loans? My parents, my dad had to do all that stuff. Like everybody has to do that. So you don't get to go, I took it, there's no name for it. It's like, I, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It's, it's like, it's like calling it a vacation. Like they have a name for it. It's a gap year. It's like, oh, I took a gap year than other people, other like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, well-off people are like, well, that's a great idea. You shouldn't have got me. And you want to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually fine with all them having that conversation and that person taking the gap year and I think that's great and you should, yea, you know what, you should take a gap year. But, and be like, that's fine, you can do all that stuff, but at least let's acknowledge, or you should acknowledge that you're able to choose when and where you want to go to college. Right. Which is insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and enough to go, I don't need to go right now. Everybody's good enough to go, I don't need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, I'm not trashing those people, I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The idea that it's like, let's not forget you got us that are like, you know, we


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That are not wealthy enough, like it's not, those people I don't mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be honest with you, this whole argument now could be, cause it could be actually people that don't have money or don't come from something and they're like, no, I just, but they were smart enough to know to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or they thought outside the box enough to go, I want to go do this. I've enjoyed it. It felt very passionate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. A lot of times when we do that, people are like, that's. Yeah. Well, Nate just changed his mind at the last second. Yeah. So at the end, I just, well, I, then I think about it. I'm like, well, it is true. I bet people do think about, I, but I think people do it and I, there's, I, cause I'll end up blaming it on, I think it's like, well, that's all the rich people and that's, and that's exactly what they're doing.

[Assistant] So I'm trying to remind myself not to do that and go, there's going to be levels of everywhere. Cause I'm saying that. So I don't need to just go attack the top. So I need to remind myself to go.

[Assistant] Gorillaz throwing a ball backwards and the Notre Dame comes popping up and then they start in their dresses, throw it forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's a mix. I don't know if it's safe, but you're not dying, but you're, but you're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not dying on the field, but like, uh. It's a slow death. Yeaah. It's like, it's like, you could, I don't know, it's like a mix. But there's so much bigger now. But I think there was probably, there was a somewhat sweet spot of like where they had leather helmets and they had this kind of thing. And it seemed like there was like people didn't get, cause you wouldn't hit with your head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like not wearing a helmet is like people are not just lying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really would, like it would be, if you got rid of your helmet, it...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you wouldn't be using it as a weapon. Yea, you wouldn't be hitting people. I mean, you wouldn't dive with your helm. You know, I'm sure someone would. I mean, that would, but you would tackle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's like, yeah, there's a mix of that though. I mean, these guys are going off to war, but you have to, like in a war in the fact of what the sport they're playing. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but if you ask them, if they want to play, then you're like, they're going to play. Like that's the thing that it's kind of going to look, you keep trying to make it be safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you also gotta be like, these guys want to play. So I don't know what to, you know, it's not like we're, you're forcing people into this world. No, of course not. You're doing it and they're continuing to find a better way to do it. I hope you're right. I hope they find a way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I hope they do too. I, I understand, uh, that it could be the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could see it where it gets, I don't think it'll go away. It could be very different. I bet what kills it more than anything is these conferences all coming together. And I think it's going to just become not fun. And you're going to just see where it's going to be your, there's five teams that are great who are, you know, there'll be five, but there will be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the other ones are going to just be like, I mean, what are we doing? Like there's no end goal that you could even, what are you striving? Why am I even wasting my time to watch? That would be the fear. And on top of it, they could throw in people getting hurt, blah, blah, and all this kind of stuff. But it could end up becoming that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But maybe the NFL then just become, you know, that's what college, but maybe the NFL, you know, it ends up, I don't know, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet they wouldn't have, I bet they would have stayed with you, but I think still you're like, oh, you told them the truth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a thought about lying this weekend, like I was thinking this, that it's like the biggest form of laziness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're almost like, your lying problem is like you're la- you're lazy. Now lying can be- and actually it's extremely-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's extremely not lazy. Yes. Cause you have to keep up with so much. But it starts for a lazy reason and then you get so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like, or you want to be this thing that you want to appear as this thing and instead of being like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's saying I didn't go to college and having to go like, eh, it just wasn't for me or whatever that kind of thing is. It's, you could just go, I'll just say this. And you kind of like almost hope it stops, I guess there. And then that's the easiest thing. And it's being super lazy or you're, or you're creating instead of going to be the greatest


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, out of a baseball player of all time or, or one of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Best way, whatever you want to make it up to believe. And then you're like, well, I'll just tell people I did it because I don't want to do the work to actually make myself get, I guess a lot of people I think could actually have the talent to go do it, but it's so hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To go every day in the obsession you have to have to become great at whatever you want to become.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the lazier route is to lie, which then becomes the actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like everything. That's drinking. That's like everything becomes a point that you think the easiest route, eating bad, the easiest route is to eat bad. That's the easiest thing to do. It's, it's just, I'm not thinking about it, whatever. And the hardest part is flipping that because you think your life is a lot easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you actually don't eat bad because you are not tired constantly and you're not miserable and you're not, you don't realize how much your mood is your food, but it's hard to like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Auburn, you go, war! He's a young war eagle and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then you're like, she's going to see through it going, so does he go to college and you go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you're saying you're going to college. There's the lie. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, alright, uh, I, we, I have to run and, uh, we, I don't think we really got into, we barely scratched the surface. So we will do a college too. I think, uh, yeah. And so, uh, college, do we record next week or, or, uh, we'll do it next week. So we'll come right back after.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about, it's not about like whether they carry it or not. It's about how much they sell to their consumer. And there's all kinds of things, dials and switches I can move to help them sell more. And he'd still be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, you're not in sales. Like the display and such. Display is a big display. Shelf placement. Shelf placement is another. Shelf placement is another. You would be eye level.

[Assistant] All right. Here we go. Hello folks. Hey bear. Uh, I had this this morning because you're going to read the beard club and I was asked, Laura says, does this, does he have a beard? That's how much I'm out of it. Wow. And for some reason I was picturing like not much of a beard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well. And then, then I looked at you right now and I was like, that's a lot of beer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I should know you have a beard. I don't know. I'm saying that I was kind of out of the, out of the, I slept till, I slept forever today. I was out of it. My voice is not, if it's, yeah, hopefully it sounds okay. But it was like, yeah, Arizona air. That thing just got to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I might have a title for it. I don't know. Did we already get a bunch of titles? We did. Yeah. Really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, so anyway, I shot that special, we went awesome. Phoenix is awesome, uh, doing it in the round was great. Uh, it was, it was, yeaah, it was very, very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They did some, uh, you know, uh, the way they did it, the stage looks so good, uh, it's, I don't know, the top had like these lights that were over me, like we had this overhead shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's what I heard. Yeah, well he emailed us. Oh, that guy did? Yeah. Oh wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very nice though, the email. And I'm sure both of them are nice. That's awesome. Even, you know, I hate that something like that happened, but it was real quick. It was quick enough that I didn't have to address it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just kinda heard it. I just heard like a loud something. And then, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it was, it was over. And then I just, I kind of heard it, but it was enough that I was not, you know, long enough that I was like, I just kind of kept going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's, it's, yeah, it's, it's one of the, it's like the seat in the airplane when they push it back. It's, you can either, you just deal with it and be annoyed with it, which is how I would handle it. Probably a lot of people handle it. Or you can hit the seat. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's gonna be, that's how you're gonna handle it. And the one emailing seems to be the one with the hair. So the other guy didn't email and say anything, uh, so maybe we need to hear from him. Right now I'm on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, I, look, I get it. It's, it, people, it's, uh, that's always tough. People are excited. People get, you know, it's hard to say. It is nice. It's like, just like, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, you're caught up in the moment and it's like, I understand it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's tough, I mean, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think the, did you listen to the podcast or? This guy didn't know who I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's the, that's the risk you took. That's more than even being confrontation. You're doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like doing it at like a fam reunion where you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're like, I don't know everybody. Not everybody knows me, but there's a great chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love this. Look, it was an awesome night. It was awesome, man. I was glad you there. Met all the Webbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a lot, but they were, they were all super cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always think, you know, I joke around, you know, I don't want to be mad, but they're all, they love it. And, uh, they got robbed immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they, uh, yeaah, the whole night was great, the show went great, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we, we, uh, trying to think. I mean, you have my voices like this. It was like my voice started because I was there for like nine days and it was just that dry air starts hitting you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then so I think it takes your, it was like towards the end and just the amount of just like everything going on. It was just a lot, but, uh, we hung out, kept it kind of calm with Albuquerque. Albuquerque was great. Uh, the night before I did, I ended up doing like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the pacing was very good. Uh, I liked the round. I liked walking around. Uh, we had some fun stuff. You know, there's like little, little things you see like, you know, in the opening and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get handed a microphone by somebody, uh, and it's, it's, but there's somebodies, you know, you're, you might not recognize it first, but then you will. Uh, not famous, just my fame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, uh, yeah, the whole, I don't know, the whole thing was awesome. And it's, and then today, I think yesterday on the flight home, I was like writing down, all right, going through some jokes that I told as we were building this hour and like trying to write some of them down to be like, all right, what do I have that's not on this hour? This morning I woke up with like a panic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like, what are you going to talk about? Because we're about to announce some of the 2023 tour, and it's going to be a big tour. And a big year. And, uh, so when we announce it, uh, I, like I was just like, golly, because it's got to be all new material. And you're like, what on earth?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah. The last one, it just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, I went to Huntsville, I went to some clubs. I mean, I gotta go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I'm about to go pop down Zany's and like, and like, I mean, but I'm on tour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's like I'll just, from here to the end of the year, we'll be just trying to like filter out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like getting that in between. I looked at, cause I went to Phoenix to stand up live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also before the start of the last tour, just to work on like my new hour and I was looking at that note card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was still doing like a lot of stuff from...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The greatest average American. But I don't think the greatest average American was out yet. But I was still, I still had a lot of stuff. But it was like, just to see that, I looked at that card to then look at, I mean, this hour is like pretty different. There was, there were some jokes that were still, that are in there, but it wasn't. I mean, they're very different now. But it's just like, what are you gonna talk? I don't, you know, I guess you just figure it out. Yeah, you always do. Yeah, it's brutal though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not brutal, it's just, it's exciting, but it's just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, there's no rhyme or reason to it, and there's no formula. I mean, if you're like a joke writer, there's a formula. If you're one-liners or if you're, there's gotta be somewhat of, uh, you still gotta come up with the ideas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeah, it's, yeah, cause you gotta, I mean, you figure it out on your own. You know, no one, you know, I don't, I mean, I don't really know comics that have writers, but, uh, I'm sure I know some do. But yeah, when you've got to do it on your own, you're like, yeah, I don't know. What am I going to do? Uh, all right. Uh, we'll figure it out. It's going to be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched, yeaah, I mean, cause we had, uh, Karlan, George Karlan, and Luis Agape did a special there. Which we, I watched those two this weekend. It was, it was, it was kind of surreal. Not that I'm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing it for that reason or whatever, I'm just, it was, it is crazy to be like, golly. And I, and Segura I think is about to take a special literacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we'll see, uh, I'll let you know where it's going to come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do know, uh, I can't, I don't think I can say yet. I'll find out when I can say it and I'll tell y'all. Hope it'll be coming out in January. Uh, and so, yeaah. Start the year off hot. Yeaah. Uh, alright. Did y'all have anything you were supposed to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds like a country singer. Do basketball player. He'd be the one that'd definitely get in the fight. And that's what he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had tickets this weekend's tapings of the special on Phoenix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we had to turn around and go back. As a consolation, I suggest that we listen to this week's podcast and at least get in the mood. My wife who has never seen Nate perform stand up said, this is who we were going to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I laughed out loud and explained the live act is wildly better than the podcast, although I love the podcast. Thanks for giving us a good laugh, as always. That's very funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My god, the house flooded. It sounds like she set it up. Really dodged a bullet there, huh? She might have set it up. Michelle Caulfield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got to the theater early, so we had time to get to our seats well before the show started. A few minutes after we sat down, a couple sat down behind us. All of a, all of the sudden, I heard the man saying, Nate Bargates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over and over again. I realized he was trying to do a voice search on his phone to look up who Nate was, but because he was saying Nate Bargate, he wasn't getting any search results. Apparently they had no idea who they were there to see. I did hear them laughing a lot, so despite apparently not knowing who Nate was, I think they had a great time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, obviously. Right. Right. This is the Gates family. Yeah. Rick Peterson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They started filling seats up front for people that didn't show up. And Usher came up to the row that me and my son were sitting in, which was the last row. He said, hey, poor people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to come fill in some seats? Not the exact quote, but close. He did say poor people. So we got to move down super close to the stage. Once we got seated, a guy from R.O. was like, did he just call us poor people? To which I responded, yes. And while it might seem rude, look at where we, look at where we are. Nate killed it, of course. Yeah, whoever, they were just being funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryan Peterson, Nate, my wife and I are coming to your show in Cedar Rapids. I was wondering if the show is going to be the same as your special. Can't wait to see you. Also, do you know who the opener is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, that's like next week or something, two weeks. Yeah, that will be the same. I'll probably, I'll hopefully have some new jokes. The rest of this year will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of probably is close to that special. It's the January is what I'm looking forward to be switched over, uh, to new and worst case you end up having to do some greatest hits at the end, which I might do anyway. If people have seen the special just, you know, but, uh, Oh, you know, yeah. Cedar Rapids though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if you could riff a pure act, the thing is too is I don't think people are giving you enough credit. Like even that guy would be like, well, you should, you should be bowing down to me if I could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could have an act together that I do differently every night that's that tight. There's just no way. It's like people don't like putting an act together to where it's like becomes what it is, this presentable act. I mean, it's just, it takes forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no cards. Maybe one day we'll show, uh, I could show the Phoenix, the jokes I was doing in Phoenix to the special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the first to the end, to show you how, you know, different. I wonder if people, yeaah. It just changes to where people think you're, even if they were at both shows, they think it's different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it kinda is. It's like the topic would be the same. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just the rhythm, everything gets so much tighter and it gets presented in this perfect pack, you know, or as close to perfect package. And that's, and it takes a long time to do it. I wish I could write it like that, like that guy once. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can promise you, you would have been stopped by four to five people before you got this close to ask when we are coming back. Alright, so the Greg Garcia episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate just moves on. I began Googling Aaron Weber comedian arrested. Long story short, Aaron wasn't arrested and I was pulled over for being on my phone while driving through Atlanta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, uh, Costanza when he goes, when he fights those people in the movie theater. Oh, that's, uh, one of the final episodes, isn't it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's, oh yeaah, it's like those guys are laughing, kicking his chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin Lawson, what an amazing guest. Greg is oozing with charm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is someone that you immediately like. I love that his show are about giving back or fixing a wrong. Then to hear about his real life Burger King example of giving, wow, what a great guy. Hopefully examples like that will keep his hell life much more comfortable. Thanks for sitting this one out, Aaron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's charm. Kate Smith, this is why we need Aaron around. You need a super genius to clear up the difference between nectarines and tangerines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How did these come about? Like that's the, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it just, when it grows, do they just put a square thing around it? That's probably what they're doing. So they're not doing, it's not a science experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, David Beale in reference to the movie catch me if you can, while the rest of us are wondering who is Frank Abagnale and is he still alive? Dusty straight up types Leonardo DiCaprio into Google search bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I don't think hippie, I always think high food. Like, if someone's like, oh I'll take a tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have a hot tea right now. You gotta get someone to ask for a hot tea and you're like, yeah, I'm gonna, I gotta go brush the dust off the thing. Yeah. Like we're not drinking hot teas in here. Yeah, it's 90 degrees outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I would just say, if they said hot, I would say, well I don't belong in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arizona episode comments. No, I apologize. It's been, uh, Sarah shallow. I am shocked that y'all didn't talk about Travis Walton in the Arizona episode considering UFOs come up quite a bit on this podcast. Travis Walton.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tour of the world. Universe. Uh, Michael Williams. I'm used to hearing Nate mispronounce all kinds of words, but hearing breakfast murder, Lake Havasaw and Gila monster was pretty rough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't recommend getting bit. Well, it's like venomous is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I'm right, but venomous is, I think when they inject, so they put venom into you. Like a snake. Like a poisonous dart frog is like, if you touch them, they have poison on them. Oh, okay. But that being said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say venomous snake, I said poisonous before that, and someone said something to me once after a show, and so I changed it to venomous.

[Assistant] Heather Kaufman, when Nate used the sentence, John saw a boob yesterday for describing a high boob, my boys ages nine to 10 lost their minds and have repeated that sentence daily. Thanks for giving my boys material to make them cool with their friends and in trouble with their Sunday school teachers. Love the podcast. Alright. Thank you. That's what we're doing. Yeah. Making kids laugh.

[Assistant] Heather Hirsch, here's another fun fact about McDonald's in Arizona. The McDonald's in Sedona is the only one in the world with turquoise arches. It was required to keep with the land of required by the town of Sedona to keep with the landscape requirement. Oh, look at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Did you, uh, do a McDonald's while you're out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had so much candy. I got, I got nauseous. We had a Sunday bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I got, I got real nauseous and, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause your body couldn't handle it? Yeah, it was like just too much candy. And like, I mean, it's like 10 30. I like had to lay down and I just kind of rested and then I ate some candy. And then last night I ate some before I went to bed and I was like, well, I got real nauseous again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I could have got it last night, but by the time I landed, it was like, you know, I didn't want to go at 10 o'clock and run the risk of it being bad. I need to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, dinner time. Get fresh McDonald's. Get fresh McDonald's. Prime hours. Prime hours. I need the shift. I need the A shift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to stay and trip. I will, uh, or just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Miami. University of Miami? Yeaah. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like I would ask you where, if I saw you and I needed a gas station, I would change it to when you walked up and go,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a good name. Yeah, it is a good name. It's a fun word to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we don't have bodegas, not like New York, but I mean, you have people you go, when you're starting comedy of bodegas, I mean, you just lived out of one. You just go there and get everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you get gas 24 hours at a gas station? Some of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. I'll tell you when I'm done. Yeah. Top it off. Get a couple more. And, I've had it not stop. I have spewed it out of there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that I may, I feel like maybe once. For me? Uh, yeah. No, I feel like maybe once, I think I've had an accident maybe, like an accidentally called. Have you called it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of safety? Yeah, I think you just heard it once and then you're like, I'm like, I heard what? Your cell phone could set it off or something. What? You've ever heard that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I don't do it, and I heard that, and that's why I didn't do it, and then now, more and more of my cell phone, I'm just like, I think about like, whatever, the waves and radiate, like you're just kinda like, I don't need this near me. It gets hot, and you're like, less and less, I'm just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We went to go eat, we went bowling, had a Sunday bar, all this. I just left my phone at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, left it back at the house. I just don't want it. Like, it's like, it's, it's... Do you like that? I love it. Cause it's, it's, I'm so tired of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always, you gotta make sure you're in this moment. I think people are only in their moment and no one's living outside of it. No one's thinking past, present or anything. They're only in their moment. And so it's a weird thing to say because you look at people like, you know, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not thinking, how dumb do I look filming stuff or-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I going to tell this story later? Cause I was filming. Am I going to have this memory? Am I going to be able to like, you know, anything else? You're only in the moment and you should be out of the moment a little bit. You're living the moment. You're doing it. Zoom out a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zoom out, even if you're in it, like I know they're, they're saying like, don't just be on your phone and like look around and be enjoying what you are, but you're like, I think people are doing that. It's, you're not, you can get out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends on what you're trying to do, but it's like, someone telling you to be balanced is just like, I don't want to have a conversation about it. So they're just like, just be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like live in the moment, maybe I'm not talking about exactly the, like to make sure we're present.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like you can see a lot of times people can have a problem come and they don't see that that problem was on its way the whole time. Cause they're just in their world at that moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they just, they, they are just walking and then just, they get crushed by something because they don't think about like the consequences of this going forward or.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just be a little bit, think, think about what you're doing, but be also going like, I know where this can lead. Like a diet, like talking about being balanced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you want to, unless you're fortunate to be like able to just be balanced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have to go extreme to try to learn to be balanced, but you gotta go pretty hard one way to learn to try to have a balance. And the balance is basically you don't get to eat candy ever like you do occasionally, which is not a balance. It's not like you're like, I can eat one and then I eat an apple. Like, you know, it's like, no one's going to, that seems like a weird way to live. Or I don't think most people can live like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've been here the whole time. Like it's, and it's, it's, it's people that are, it's me trying to make sure other people can appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's like, I got to try to make sure because you have people that like come now and then they're like, wow, this is amazing. You're like, yeah, it was never, it was not like this at all. Like Laura gets it. You know, Laura, we were in it at the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when people come on now and they think it's all amazing, it's like, yeah, but it wasn't, you know, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm very appreciative, but it's like, as people come, it's like, you gotta make sure that everybody's appreciative. I gotta make sure my daughter's appreciative and like, you know, just remind her like, yeah, this is not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you trying to say something? I'm not even saying really I got told this, this week, but it's like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure you slow down and look at what's going on around you. Yeah, yeah. No, I am. I am. And you know how hard it is to keep it going? I got to think about it every day. I think about it every second because I'm trying to create something. I'm trying to do something that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not for me. It's like I can appreciate it, but like I want everybody, I wanted to create a world that like everybody can enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, I know that's a very small example, but I never thought of it when I was a kid or anything. But when something's actually, you're like, you know, someone made a cup. Or you see someone makes those poetry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see like some people talk about, you know, people talk about mental health a lot now. And so they talk about like, uh, I feel like they talk a lot about like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to figure my problem out and then that way I don't burden everybody with, like I saw, like I think younger people are talking about that a lot now. Mental health is a big deal. I have stuff like, I get it. We, but it's not your burden to figure me out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need to figure out how to be around you. So I need to solve it like that. Talk to me, talk to someone. You gotta go talk to someone and go, how do I not be the problem?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I wanted all of y'all to do, deal with what I have to deal with, and I have trouble dealing with this all the time, when stuff doesn't get done the way I want it to be done, I can get very like, why are you not doing it? I know how to do it. How are you not knowing how to do this? Well, that's not fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I'm the one that's reaping the, or the benefits and the award, the rewards. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either I need to do it, or I can teach them how to do it, or I can't expect them to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what you gotta deal with. But people have that with, I see, like, that's what social media is like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When people talk about mental health on there all the time, it's like, well, everybody has it. Everybody on earth has it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you go to the grocery store, you gotta just be like, I need everybody to act the way I want you to act, or I'm not gonna have a good day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's insane. Or I can try to go, let me be the boss of one person and then I'll be able to handle. And some of that is, is like, I'll just mentally go, cause I would lose it if like stuff didn't go the way I want it to go. And so I would learn to sometimes just tell myself like, you know, and I would do it privately. I'm not trying to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you just kind of go to yourself and go like, the day is going to go like, who knows how this day is going to go. Look at it as being kind of fun. I bet my name is misspelled on that thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, could I lose my mind? Could I find out why that was like that? This is a big special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw that four shows at this place. Who do you think you are? Could I do it that way or is it funny? It's funny. Cause who am I? I'm nobody. I'm, I'm, I'm nobody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That wasn't dealt with the ill? And who am I? Why should they know my name? They shouldn't. I'm just an idiot. When I go like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're nice and you're like, yeah, dude, I'm you. Like, I can't believe you're here. I can't believe you even won a picture with me. Who, I am nobody. I'm just a dude that just happens to be funny. But it's like, I don't know. And I don't know why I went on this big. I don't think this counts as a rant. I get it though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. If you want it, well, if you have that, you might have very good skills to be a real leader. Right. Cause you, you, you have direction that you want things done the way that you think they should be done. But you can't be, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you get to, like I get not wanting to be like, if someone like, yeah dude, I want, sometimes you want to be alone. Sometimes it's like, you're like, I just want to hang out with my buddies and I don't want it to be, and I'll feel that all the time. Like, or you think I need to be this or I don't want to be too much or if I could go do something, it's going to be a whole big thing, but you got to just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realize like, yeah, you gotta do that and be like, so I've got to figure out how do I do that? It's not your burden.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're, that's not fair to be like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no, there's zero chance you could ever do something wrong. My job is to handle myself to then be like, no, of course not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People can't roll with this. No one did this to me this weekend either. Like, so I know people will hear this podcast and you know, people that were there, no one did this to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's more stuff I saw in passing like on Instagram, people that would not even know me. Like it's just, I'm seeing a lot of it because you now you get so much post from other things and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's that stuff too. People don't, yeah man, the Queen's a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People just need to realize that social media is not real. That's the other thing. It's like, just calm down. Like that's like, no one, everybody's normal. That's why it's, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like it because you get to see some of the local news sometimes. Yeaah. Like you're like, ah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll take that. Sometimes it's just ads. It's just commercial. If it's just ads. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying it does happen, but sometimes I'll think if it's at half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if it's very smooth, I think about my route coming back. Like if you come to my house from the airport, that gas station, that's where you make that right.
