That's what I'm realizing, you know and it's summer And this is the kind of time of year. I remember When at summertime you go to the pool

You might see a little wall if you're around that age when you really When you got really pervert it kind of It starts kind of whispering in your ear Because pervert is uh, if you're going through pervert it pervert is a real ghost, you know It's it's invisible to you for years. You were you're a child and you know, you don't see nothing When you're a real young a titty could roll across the street. You don't care You know a whole a battleship full of wieners could just You know cap size right out front of your house if you're a young lady, you don't care. You're like, oh, what is all it is?

What are all of these, you know, these weird, you know These weird little kind of arms, you know, that don't have bodies in the hook to them Because you because that because that that that puberty ghost hadn't started really whispering to you And then when you hit about 13 or 14 that ghost just He kind of just Hey, you playing video games and suddenly you hear something in your ear like

What you think about some And they'll try to pretend like they're still a ghost but really they just it's just uh puberty coming at you so But that's what time it is man. It's summertime It's summertime And the kids I bet the kids it's the you're inside. I know the kids are inside It's starting to get a little Touchy feely, I bet it's starting to get a little bit intense, you know, it's getting a little bit hot hot

But puberty coming it really starts it starts getting you going If you're young remember that's when summer would always uh, that's when uh, puberty would always hit somebody in summertime that You feel that long I know you like playing hide and go seek But what about uh Some titties And everything started to change

You know, you'd have a water slide at the beginning of summer and by the end of the summer you're trying to You're trying to slide into the neighbor's daughter That was just different time. It just was it was same times actually, but it was it was just I don't know. It was just something that happened. That's and your buddy come back from school. He had a beard, you know your friend You guys had pogs or something together now. He got a beard and he got a child He was in a war and you're like, damn

You know, you got some real You must have that Polish puberty hitch or something that you crying in bro Because you already been in a couple battles But it's that summertime We're still getting through it What did I do this week and I had look I had some neat experience, uh, I'll share about it in a second. I you know, I was asking or thinking last week who looked at me Or thinking last week who listens to the show and I wanted to know and so, uh, we got a couple of people that

Chimed in and let us know. Here we go Hey Theo, um, I'm calling from Phoenix, Arizona Oh, phoenix, Arizona and My mother used to live over there outside of phoenix And phoenix, if you know, Arizona State University Beautifulist they got some real beautiful ladies running around over there I mean, they got

I'm surprised they not they don't have real carnivores in that area a lot of Because they got some ladies over there. You'll see some booty cheeks make you want to damn get a fork and knife out, bro You know turn you into a little That kind of snack of dactyl really so but thank you for calling young lady onward Um, I'm a special ed teacher and I just wanted to call and say that you did a kick-ass job On on your podcast. Um, I normally listen to you when I'm getting ready for work Oh, you're a special ed teacher and that's beautiful and I actually You know, I a lot of people know that I've you know beat down syndrome when I was born and

and I've had a lot of You know, I've had interactions I'll tell you actually I feel bad about this but when I was in a third grade or first grade And who knows which one it was I mean nobody really You know, nobody ever knows really and uh and They had a next to us was special education And um

And I would sneak in there and steal they had these kind of orange slices and these lime slices these kind of green little sugar Look like a little uh Like somebody like a little handful of somebody Made a little sugar like a chewy sugar chunk These little sugar hitters and I'd sneak in there and eat them all While the while the special ed kids were out doing recess or Just doing something. I don't even know what they were doing. It's riding around town or whatever you know, not at school or not in the classroom and um, and honestly, I've always felt a little bit bad about that

Uh, so I want to apologize about that Right now I would sneak in there And dude sometimes I would lock myself in the cab in the cupboard. They had a tall cupboard I'd get in there and I'd start eating these candies Because our teacher miss louis would give you permission to go to the restroom sometimes If you were an appropriate child Now we had something inappropriate You know, we had some real inappropriate

kind of milling around we had kids who You know alphabet deniers and stuff, you know kids that didn't want to read and all kinds But she would let you go get uh to the to the restroom and so you'd be in the hall by yourself So I'd sneak in into the um special ed room and get their candies and get in that candy closet In a second I opened that door. They had so many Candies they had Those uh, tootsie roll the long ones, you know, the kind to make you The kind of make you really

The kind of make you start thinking about what you're into as a young fella, you know You put two of them big fellas in your mouth you might You know, you might uh You might end up in a unique parade later on in in your life And so I'd get in there and I'd start just eating the lime slices and eating I'd have probably maybe 30 pieces of candy And then I'd come back to the class and I'd have forgotten to go urinate And so I'd have to sit there the rest of the time and and suffer with the full bladder

And it's funny because the pain of having to urinate Would almost be it would every time I remembered how I got a piece of bad I would feel ashamed because I'd stolen them children's candies. They're sweet. Uh, the sweet treats And anyway, I'm sorry. I'm rambling. Yes, I'm thank you for calling in onward Since I'm a special ed teacher and I work right now in behavior specifically It's very stressful So I like to start off my day with one of your episodes because it just kind of sets me in that mood to get ready And be positive and know that everything is going to be okay. So thank you dude for all that you do

Thank me. Thank you You know, I think about that That's brave you it's uh, well, it's not You have a special gift to be able to work with children. That's really You know that have autism or You know unique gifts from god or there Are a lot of mentally challenged people it seemed like they're doing more inside or trading it seemed They're operating on the inside

You know, we're out here operating on the outside for the most part And some of us are a hundred percent out here and nothing inside and some of us are are 50 50 But sometimes a lot of you know mental children when I was growing up it would seem they were um They were uh, they were More like 80 inside 20 outside So they had a lot more, you know, you got a it's almost like a Rubik's cube You got to do a lot of twist and in turn and to kind of get the Get the walls to all match up

And it takes a lot of patience. So I can't even really imagine, you know, um How much patience you have to be I mean, you must you must you must just have to be full of patience because Uh I mean, I just I imagine if we cracked you open that Something would come out but only if we waited a while Because that's patience You know, like I just can't imagine it

You know and And so thank you for your service right there and uh and thank you for the compliment and I hope you have a great day today. You know, I hope you You know, uh, and those kids that you're working with in the future. They get the next go-round. They get the big trip next time You know, we all we all take turns I believe that Like I'm here this time doing what I do being a loudmouth And next time I'll be

You know, I'm kind of a more sensitive loudmouth next time. I might be a warrior like a deaf warrior So you'll see me with no listening skills, but Maybe be a lightweight champion of the world Or I might be like, uh You know a little show animal or something That's you know, doesn't do a lot and does you know does cigarettes or something So it's you know, everybody gets the term where you have Where we get to see what it's like to be that next thing that next type of person

So, uh, I guess I'm just envious You know, I had a day one time I was a student and we went to india earth and We worked on a disabled children's home over there And a lot of these children they didn't have wheelchairs or chairs and They were just crawling around on the ground, you know, and uh

And our job for the day was to help move they had different sediment and different pieces of cement or something I don't know what had happened somebody left a Probably look about two dump trucks full of some pieces of big cement At a at a disabled children's home and we moved it and we made it and moved it around and opened up a little play area for them but uh But man, it was You know, it was the one day in my life where I really felt of service like a hundred percent

You know you support these types of people And it just made it made me kind of mad. It's like what do you mean these types?

You know p would you think he's a privileged kid? I mean, I know he's a silly kid at 19. He makes ridiculous stuff online You know, but you think that kid's privileged some young kid growing up in flint michigan You think he has some special opportunity You know, it's just like You know, it's like I don't know and then it also I feel bad because it made me think like oh well Like I don't spend I'm you know I mean

David reminds me of people that I grew up around, you know, he reminds me of the neighborhood that I grew up in Dude, I'll tell you this bro. I show up to the improv He's outside him and his gang bro. He's got a wild cat with him named gucci berry and this guy He's probably 50 years old You know half Half of his teeth. He's always getting people beating them in the uh Uh nuts and stuff online. It's to me. It's not my vibe really Really at all really but he's a nice guy

And uh, I roll up to the improv. They're out front with no shirts on Zero shirts Dude, I've been I've gone to the improv for 15 years. I've gone to the improv in hollywood california on melrose avenue I've never once have I seen Someone without a shirt on there But today I roll up there sitting out front. No shirts boy

I said gang gang, baby It's people You know, it's people You know, I mean, it's just it's people man And the second I feel like I'm not people man. I don't care what they are I don't care if if if Dave is black or white or latino or You know peruvian or Veruca salt or whatever he is, you know

I don't care if he fucking, you know reaches into his pants and pulls out a damn tail It's people So Anyway, I should and that it didn't bother me. It just made me I don't know part of me did worry It was like, well, what if you know if if people think that I'm associated with these kind of people or if they think I'm this then Then what is that going to be? I guess it I guess I in the end. I guess I'm really just disappointed that it made me

doubt myself You know, it made me think well What are people going to think? Because I like that, you know, I wish I didn't live in that space where I where I worried about that While worried about what people thought what's in their heads About me And I hope to get there, you know, I hope to aim to be in that space more And I don't even know how I how I ever got there probably when I was young. Well, I think probably I didn't know how I felt about myself

You know, I had no real self-awareness And the only way I did feel about myself wasn't good So of course I'm going to need other people to like me I'm going to need them to feel good Because that's the only way I know if I'm doing okay You know, if I ask myself it's like yelling into a cave when I was young So, it almost makes sense that I even do work as a comedian Because it's like I needed to know that

That it's like I got my own that it's like I got my own feeling of feeling okay from them. So it's almost like I'm trying to think about this a little more. I know in a simple way, it's like, oh, what do what people think about you? That the oh, you care about what people think about you? Yes. But I'm trying to think about how I. Yeah, you know, I got what I thought about myself from how other people responded to me.

I think that really is more how what was going on with me. You know, because that's the only way I knew, you know, Ness. So, yeah, nobody, you know, I just wasn't filled up with, hey, you're, you know, you're okay. There wasn't enough of those. And if there were, maybe there weren't, I couldn't even hear them. And that's where sometimes you, it's like, man, we're all special ed. We're all special needs. You know, and it makes me feel good to know that there's a lady out there.

Hey, Theo, I'm calling from Arizona on the special ed who's driving somewhere to take care of some kids. Man, that's great. That's awesome. It's nice to know that there is when these kids get home that this guy and I listened to your podcast after I dropped my kids off at school. I'm a stay at home dad. That when the kids get off the bus, Tim, he's out there with a little

tray of muffins or a, um, or a cigarette. I don't know if the kids smoke or what he does with his kids, but he's out there. That's nice to know that the, you know, that people that, that we're filling these youngsters up with some type of connection. I'm just kind of rambling, but, uh, but yeah, what else is going on with me right now? Um, you know, I try to, I've just been trying to think about like, you know, the step just, just kind of, I guess just kind of wanting to just, I just been

feeling so busy sometimes that I don't know it's hard to know. Like if I'm feeling okay or not. So I'm trying to think about like, you know, I'm trying to think about feeling okay or not. So I got to, just got to try and check in with myself a little bit more and just kind of, you know, just make sure that I'm doing okay. And I feel like I am, um, it was just, you know, I used to have just kind of more time to just, you know, I guess just even chill out or take a nap or get

a little, uh, frosty or something. I love frosties and I love, what else do I love? You know what I miss? I was thinking about the other day, musical chairs, do member musical chairs. Remember at school, I don't even know when it happened, but about once every two years, some new legislation came down at school and they once again allowed kids to play musical chairs. That's where they put like seven chairs in the middle of a room and they put

like 40 kids in the room. And it was just bonkers. You remember how crazy it was? You remember it? It was like, uh, it was almost like the Royal Rumble like WWF Royal Rumble. And they had everybody. Oh, suddenly every, you start to see who people are. You'd have a little, you know, a couple sets of twins, these two females

brother over there sharpening their teeth with a real file. You're like, damn, these benches getting a seat. Suddenly all the white kids were like, oh, we're going to have a chance to do something athletically musical chairs. And then the music would start all around the mulberry bush and people are just just just eyeing the other person. Suddenly a friend was not a friend at all. Suddenly some kid had just reached in his bag and just painted his face up

like William Wallace. You know, he's like, we are free. Tell them Scotland is free. Other kids was getting scared. One kid fainted, bro. Dude, whatever, son. You out, bro. You out.

You can't handle musical chairs. You ain't going to handle musical the rest of your life. Then go move to somewhere else, bro and be weak. Daddy, we got to go. And then it would stop. And people, you'd see some kid pull out a blade. You know, some rich kid would bring a chair from home. You're like, what?

Farmer always. He's cheating. They had some paddows on the side betting on it, laying money. You know, plus 750 on a little Reginaldo over there. And the teacher was smoking cigarettes. It was insane. And then just all these cheeks flying. It was butt first.

It was butt first. And there's just nothing more just squirky and silly than a bunch of children's butts all flying in the same direction at once. And you had to get cheek to seat. Some kids, they go for a chair and miss it completely, shatter their legs, shatter their spine, end up in a bag on, you know, end up traveling by sack for the rest of their lives on their, on their, on their dad or mom's back

if their mom was strong. Just, you know, just, you had to get two cheeks on the seat. And it was yours. And you had somebody be yelling in the distance. Somebody be yelling, cheek that seat. Cheek that seat. There's people crawling through pipes full of duty. They said it would take a mind 600.

Yes. I got a holiday present. But musical chairs, Randall did it in less than 20. And you know, little Daniel's back there in the back. He got him a little Santa sack and he's not even playing. He's just stealing people's stuff. I mean, he's back there. He's taking these like just mom made sandwiches and gang boys

and is filling up a sack and he's just, he leaped out the window right on the back of a Greyhound. He left town that we never even saw him. Because you know Daniel, you know, he makes his own choices. But damn, boy, musical chairs, the game in somebody. It came down to two people, one chair. And it was actually kind of a great thing for regular life. This is regular life.

It's going to be survival of the, of the, of the fittest. You got to get that ass right. Because it's cheek first sometimes. You got to put your ass on the line. And one, you know, somebody when you don't, and that you win, they supposed to give you some candies and they go in the cupboard and who knows some little asshole kid ate all of them lime slices. Some sneaky little white boy that pulling Nicaragua

snacked up all the lime slices and little Daniel, he's already, he's halfway to Tacoma. And he got that bag of, you know, maybe lukewarm muffins and some ham sandwiches and some pudding packs, bro. And he's keyed up. Man, boy, get in there. Man, I just, I mean, it was God's game. I mean, it was God's game, man.

Let's get into a couple more calls. Oh, here's one we got. As always, the hotline is 985-6649503. And the hotline is, you know, it's a, it's a, it's just, you know, if something's going on, what's happening? If you're not, if you're struggling with something, there's something that we can try to do to help. If you want to share a response to something on the show,

you can always hit it. And again, it's 985-6649503. Let's take a call right here. Hey, what's going on Theo? It's Jonathan from Shreveport. What's up, Shreveport. Oh, and I used to, the cops after the comedy, the cops would come by these bicycle cops and they would tase you if you wanted.

And you could, you didn't even have to be a criminal and they would tase you with the damn taser. So, you know, they got some rare kind of tourist attractions around there. Let's hear more. Listen to the podcast earlier and you were talking about being in a relationship. I think you're 39 and I'm 35, man. And I was scared of relationships just like you for a long time because like, I come from alcoholic parents and a broken home and all that shit. And man, it was like, oh, and dealing drugs for a long time.

It was like everybody was business related or business oriented. Like I had girlfriends, but they were more like homeboys, you know. Oh yeah, drugs will make a, turn a girlfriend into more of a girl fiend, you know? But I met Stephanie, the woman I'm with now. And dude, it really changed me. I mean, she's a genuine person. So it is worth the risk to face the fear, I would say. Gang, man.

I appreciate you saying that, dude. And yeah. Yeah, I guess everybody needs a little Stephanie on them. Everybody needs. Yeah, I'm sure somebody comes along and kind of just makes it. I mean, my biggest fear, I think right now in like a practical sense on a surface sense is I, I just don't, I don't know that I trust myself not to cheat, not to, you know, I still, I got that sugar lizard sometimes in my wiener, you know, in my body wiener.

And, you know, if that lizard gets thinking, bro, then I'll, you know, I'll get pink and you feel me. I mean, that's kind of obtuse. And I want to say that, but I try to get out there looking for some loin, you know, I'll get out there kind of just, just kind of just standing around, just kind of looking for some trim, trimming them, whatever you say I am, you know, mom's spaghetti, bro. You feel me? I'll take a girl out for mom's spaghetti to try to frickin serve up that meatball. You got me?

So I just, I don't know sometimes, man. I think that's one of the things. And then I fuck, bro. I got so many fucking problems, bro. Jesus Christ, dude. I might as well just build a church around my damn head and my heart. I might as well. You know what I should do is just live in a church or something like that.

It would help her a TP or a Native American church. Let's hear more. You sound like you might be on a couple of ludes as well. Daddy, you might be, you know, a couple of milligrams deep right now on. Hey, because now that I got kids, everything's different, man. Like I stopped doing everything illegal, started making legal money. I mean, it's, it's been a real, real long road, but it's really worth it. And I didn't trust anybody, man.

At one time, if I couldn't make a dollar off of you, I didn't really mess with you. Dang, bro. Wow. Yeah. So I, you know, I feel you in a lot of that. Yeah. It's like you got to have opportunity for transformation. And it sounds like somebody real special came along and, uh, and made you believe in

something greater than yourself. And that's pretty powerful. You know, I'm amazed at the way that, that goodness really works in the world. You know, I'm just amazed, man. I'm amazed at how many people, you know, I'm feeling some type of way negative or this or that and somebody comes along and their positivity just shows me the other half of the world that are really the other most of the world that I'm not seeing. You know, because if I'm seeing things negatively, it's a lot of that's my choice.

You know, you walk into hell with a smile, bro. I mean, you could even, you might even be able to make the devil think different. You know, it's just powerful sometimes to just do that contrary action. Oh, it's easy to show up at work and be a dick and do this and that. It's hard. Some guy works for you or you work for your boss. He's a dick or you're a dick to show up and just, I'm going to try this different. What if today I walked up and said, just, Hey, look, what are you?

You might be the best damn employee or employer. They might be the worst. And if you said, Hey, look, what can I do differently to help the situation here? Even if you're, you might already be doing it great, but that right there is going to make them think, Damn, is the world changing? Because I thought my boss or I thought the guy working on them. I thought he was an asshole. Wow, the world's changing.

It's really the world. People that start are asking, what can they do to help somebody? Wow, I better get on that bus because I'm over here on this other shitty bus. There's only one other person on it. It's a young fellow named Daniel Brown. He gots a sack full of game boys. So I don't, I got to get on this new bus. It's headed in a new direction.

And that's my perspective. And I think I'm sounding a little bit preachy, man. I'm sorry about that. You know, I've been having a, my patience has just been real short with myself and I noticed sometimes I get preachy when I'm, when I just, when I haven't been resting enough really. I haven't been at peace enough. I just, when I've been too busy, I get more preachy. So I'm not trying to preach at you.

I'm, I'm really trying to tell myself that I, you know, I want to be brave enough when, when a situation is shitty, when somebody's done something wrong to me instead of saying, Hey, fuck you. I want to be able to say, Hey, how can I help man? What's going on? You're upset today. You need to make a five extra dollars off of me. Go on, bro.

Get that money. That's going to change. That's going to, you know, nine extra dollars off of today. That's going to make you, you're going to sit at home and be full of you. Go on, take it daddy. I don't know. I'll give you, I'll give you $14. I'll give you $14.

You can take the nine and then here's an extra five. Go home and don't be an asshole to your family. How about that? I'll pay you every day to go home and not be an asshole to your family. You know, let them have it, man. I just, I don't know. I guess I got, I'm spending brown. I'm getting preachy, man.

I'm sorry about that. But thanks for calling, man. And, uh, and sorry, I was thinking you were on Quailu's, but you, you sound like you might look if they have a Quailu competition, dude, or voiceover work. If they ever come out with a smurf or something that's on ludes, bruh, you know, sneaky, you know, snakey, dopey, doc, Sneezy, uh, you know, opioid, bro. You could audition for him, bro. You got that Ludi, you got that Ludi bat, that baritone Ludi.

You got that Ludi, Ludi baritone. You got about 600 milligrams in your voice box, daddy. And I love you, man. Gang, gang, Shreveport all day. And I'm ready to see Dustin Poirier whoop that boys. Hey, over there in the desert. Operation Diamond Storm, baby. We coming back to the middle.

It's going to get rogue, man. And speaking of rogue, there's actually a new, uh, a friend of mine created a game called Streets of Rogue. And it's, uh, it's on Steam. It's on Xbox one. It's on, uh, PlayStation. Um, and it's kind of like, what's that, uh, game like pep boys. No, it's, uh, Grand Theft Auto.

It's like Grand Theft Auto meets Zelda and you could do anything you want. If you like to live in like an alternative world on this, on his game, you can, you know, you can be doing cigarettes. You can be doing karate. You know, you could light people up or just light up a smoke. Uh, you can, you know, you could kill people. You can have drinks and everything is all types of stuff. Juggle, make chocolates.

Um, they got tons of opportunities on there. And then you can still be like the mayor of the whole, of the whole, you know, little universe on there. So, um, yeah, if you want to check it out, it's called streets of rogue. And, uh, and that's my friend Matt made the game. He's a game maker. And, uh, and actually he just got married as well. So, uh, congratulations, uh, Matt ski out there.

What else? Let's get into a couple more questions and calls that came in. Here we go. Yo, what's going on, baby? It's cause you over here in Charlotte. What's up? Cause you over there in Charlotte, huh? And I love Charlotte.

You want to go to a city that's really white, rific and black, tastic at the same time. Boy. Charlotte. You want to see, uh, you know, cities that are really just, you know, they got that funky, they got funky, but also honky. You know, they got that honky funk, uh, vibe going on. And that really is Charlotte, man.

One of the best Southern restaurants I've ever been to is right over there off by that mall over there downtown. And it's dangerous because the buses go fast there. So you could, you could lose a family member to a bus, but God damn them hush puppies are good, you know? So you could, uh, you could have a, you could have those in a couple orders of that fried catfish at the, at the wake, you know, at the funeral. Baby onward.

I was watching some King of the, was it King of the B, whatever it is. And you and Brandon was talking about, uh, superpowers or something. And you said that you could go in a bathroom and you could tell when the last time that somebody did some business in there was. Oh yeah. That's something that, uh, it's a, I don't think it's a soup. I guess it is a superpower, I guess. I don't know if everybody could do it, but yeah, if I go into a urinal

restroom or, you know, piss area, if I, if somebody's been in there doing a duty or something, I can sometimes, I could smell, I could almost, I can't help but smell it. Like right when I walk in, my, my nose will take a hit and I'll try to, it'll be like, Oh yeah, somebody did or no, somebody did. And there it's been, you know, nine and a half minutes or it's been 60 seconds or, you know, they got two boys, you know, playing these porcelain pipes right there, you know, in a couple stalls right now.

They got active shooters in the building onward. Well, it made me think, man. If you're ever over here at Charlotte, I work at this little text message joint called Chewies, come drop into Chewies. We've got, you know, the women's restroom and the men's restroom. And then we've got what we call the family bathroom. But what it is, it's a whole different bathroom. It's got, you know, one toilet in there.

It's really for changing kids, but all the coworkers going there and we do drugs. And, and I didn't say that. And we use the, and we do our own business, but it always smells fresh. We got the janitorial both shout out to them. Loretta and I are, you know, anybody who's listening to this shout out to y'all. But, um, hell yeah. Shout out to anybody to be ever cleaning toilets, man. And I used to clean them over there.

BJ's pizza house off of 190. And I used to get me a cold beer and, uh, and I'd go in the bathroom. I was probably 13 or 14 and I'd drink and beer out of a damn paper cup. And I'd be hitting that, that Miller light, bro. And that shit fucking made my cheeks made fuck, made just made it feel like squirrels were living in my neck and they were looking each other. They were looking for each other to fuck, you know, that's what it felt like when I drink that Miller light as a kid.

Second, it poured in and it was so spicy and hot in my, and just, I mean, it was ice cold, but it was just hot inside of it. It was coldness, but that alcohol had heat in it. And it would get in my throat and just let the damn squirrels loose. And that shit made me, boy, I'll bite my own ass cheek open if I had it, you know, two sips of Miller light at the age of 13. Um, onward. Y'all did the most work in the restaurant, in fact.

Well, they always keep it smelling great in there. You'll go in there, you won't even know the last time anyone's done some business. Oh, that's beautiful. See, I'll have to hit that chewies when I'm local. Um, oh, I used to love, bro. So I used to do whippets. I used to get, bro, I go lock myself in the, uh, if the toilet was taken, I'd go hit, lock myself in the freezer at the restaurant and I'd be just

eating handfuls of bread, putting straight out of the, uh, like the chef would have made it all, but he was cheating on his wife and he was, he was a imbecile of money. So nobody gave a fuck about his recipes, right? Because really I want to know what ingredients have gone into your soul before the, what's in the, uh, in the dessert tray, what you put in there. So I want to know that first batch of you before I see that, you know, that, that second course.

And so I'd get in there. I'd just be in handfuls of bread, putting and doing whippets, bro. I'd be, dude, people come in there. I remember one guy came in and, uh, he's like, dude, what the fuck are you doing in here? He was a coworker and I was like, hold on just a second. Is this just going to be one of you guys today? That's how whippeted out I was. I thought I was at the host's stand and this guy came in and I tried to

seat him in the damn freezer, bro. So you just got to know who you are, you know, or know who you aren't. I think. Let's take another call right here. Here we go. Thank you for hitting the hotline and for being here with me this weekend. Or this Monday, actually. Man.

Yo, what up, you freaky. What up, man? Nelson here calling from Texas. What's up, Nelson from Tejas. And I appreciate you ringing in Papa onward. Last time I called your show was about a year ago. To be exact, last summer on the halfway to Christmas episode. And I believe I was the first mailman to call your show.

I'm actually on the job right now. Gangboy Nelson out there. And it's halfway to Christmas. Let's hear more. And just want to remind you, it's halfway to Christmas, buddy. I'm out here free ramp helping again, swinging these letters. I just want to say you've been keeping it going, man. I appreciate what you do.

And keep on keeping on, brother. Gang gang. Gang gang. Papa. Nelson out there. And Nelson, bro. He's uh, that's, that's a jolly old St. Nelson.

St. Nicka Nelson right there. Dude, my man halfway to Christmas. Nelson, bro. HTC Nelson. And yeah, I guess that time of year, people don't realize, you know, the mailman. He's been laying low. You know, he's been at the house a lot, you know, having fruit roll ups, you know,

storing nuts in his cheeks, doing cav lifts in the garage, trying to get ready, get keyed up, get ready. Because the second half of the year they start training. You'll see a mailman at night running down the street with a huge sack of fucking nothing, bro. Then a couple of weeks later, you'll see him out there with a sack of, uh, you know, fake bricks or something. A little bit more than nothing.

And they start training. They, you'll see a mailman get a big bag and start, you know, stretching it out, making sure, testing, really testing the, the guttural strength of a bag. And they, they, they getting ready. We don't know that mailman that they want to be, you know, a lot of mailman. They just, they just want to be of service, man. A lot of mailmen, they, they're going to go, they get, they dropping off something good. Make a little Larry happy.

You know, suddenly a bunch of kids in town need a Game Boy because somebody stole all their Game Boys. And that's Daniel, bro. And you know Daniel, man, he makes his own choices. And you got to, you got to love the mailman when you see that guy, you salute him, huh? That's that overnight bad boy. That's that second day air. You got to hit him up with that, bam.

You know, anybody, also these guys, they're all day. They got perfume samples in the bag. They huffing those bitches. A mailman? There's no way if I'm not a mailman that I ain't getting hopped up on, uh, perfume samples all day. Dude, I'll be, you know, I'll drop a package here, drop a package there. Next thing you know, I do about four, open that thing up and do about four hits of cool

water cologne right there to the dome. Right. Just do nine hits of that, uh, that Burberry stout or whatever. Dude, I'll be so high on perfume samples, bro. I deliver the mail and then go undeliver it. Dude, I deliver off. I put four rain, four rain deers in front of my mail truck and, and just drive that bitch around and feed them bitches beer and give them little hits, give them a hits of, uh,

of, um, what else they got? Uh, that Ralph Lauren, that Polo sent sent hit him with that fresh, fresh by the face, face for the snout boy. Come on. It's different, man. It's halfway to Christmas and thank you Nelson for reminding us. So let's get in the spirit now. Don't be one of these December, these grinches, man.

Don't be one of these grinches. It's an inch to Christmas and they get now they're getting a little bit ready, but I'm starting early. Surely. Let's take one more call here. Here we go. Onward. Hey Dio.

This is Matt from Kentucky. Hey Matthew, thank you for calling in and it's beautiful over there. Beautiful Hill Country over there in Lexington, man. It's a real, real special place of it here. I was fortunate enough to see you, uh, last, uh, last year, like November, December down in Lexington, Kentucky down at the, uh, comedy off Broadway. And man, you killed it. The question that I have, man, is, uh, I want to know something that I'm shocked.

Nobody has asked so far. Dio, buddy. Are you happy, man? I love you, Bob. I love you. Love you too, man. I appreciate you coming out there. Um, and while you were talking, I was just thinking too, uh, I want to just let everybody

know, I hope y'all are staying dry and safe. That's caught up in the storm and been dealing with Barry. You know, Barry, he, you know, you don't know. And things can get happening. You got water in the house and suddenly, you know, your kids are, you know, they're playing water games or they doing white water rafting off of the dish cabinet or something. You got to make the most of it if you can. Um, but I hope everybody's staying safe and put some floaties on.

Put your, put some floaties on your loved ones when you tuck them in the bed because, uh, Mother Nature, you know, she wants to work with us, but she, she fiery. You know how it is. Me at just can be sometimes and she's feisty. She's going to flex, man. Mother Nature is going to flex. Uh, am I happy? You know, you know, it's so funny.

And, um, I think I'm always thinking about this. I think everybody's always thinking, are they happy? Hmm. You know, I don't know, man. I don't, I don't even know if I'm happy with this episode of this podcast. I've been feeling overwhelmed recently, man. I've been feeling like, um, you know, a lot of it is I've just been feeling like, uh, you know, I've used to, I felt before like I knew exactly who I was.

And then as things have gotten busier with work, sometimes I don't know. Uh, I still know who I am, but, um, I just need to focus more on, I just, I don't need to focus more, but I just need to do more things of service to be of service. I think, uh, I think that'll make me happier. You know, on Tuesday, I got a thing I'm going to do. Um, moving out over about a Ronald McDonald house and Ronald McDonald, he don't do just burgers, man. They do, uh, they have a good charitable organization where they house people that

have family members that are in ICU and stuff like that. And you can go and so they put them up in this hotel that's free. And it's, uh, and so they have all these families and these children that stay in the hotels while the kids are getting long-term care at hospitals. And so, you know, I decided I was going to go, I used to do Tuesday nights over there. And so I'm starting back, uh, this week. So I'm excited about that before King and the Sting. We're doing King and the Sting, uh, just a live show.

It's just me and Brendan, but we're doing that live. Um, and, uh, and we're going to do, I'm going to go to the Ronald McDonald house before we're doing movie night. So I'm excited about that. You know, I think I just need to make sure that I focus on doing things that do make me feel good. Uh, I think I feel a lot of responsibility because I've been given, um, you know, you get more opportunities. You know, as, as, as my career has changed in the past year, I feel, uh, you know, I feel like I can do more at the same time.

I feel like I need to find ways to be happy with what's going on. You know, I just want to, I don't know, man, am I happy? Yes. Yes, I am. I'm very happy, man. I get to go. You know, I'm happy. I'm happy when I get a man. I got off stage on Friday night or Saturday night. And man, I just saw so many people in the hall and it was just great. We just had a great time. You know, I just, I just love seeing people be happy.

They come out with their wives. People, some people came out their first show. They never even been out to a show before this fellow Sebastian, somebody else, this other guy and his brother, you know, a couple, they've never been to a show before. They never been to a comedy show. And then they come out and laugh and I don't feel like, oh, uh, you know, look at me. I just feel like, oh man, we, because I need them to laugh for me to feel okay. So we're out here. This is a, this is a team effort.

And that kind of stuff does, does make me really happy. I think the things that I'll let get into me that make me unhappy are, if I start thinking other people should be a certain way, that's the kind of stuff I don't like. Like if I, if I get caught up like in too much, like thinking about political stuff or, you know, thinking that I know something that, that I know more than others. Man, I, I may have different experiences, but every, you know, that doesn't mean that I know anything else more. You know, everybody can learn something from everybody else and, um,

and also I got to realize some stuff that it's not my battle. It's not my fight. You know, it's not my, you know, I just can, I need to do what I can do around those that are close to me, um, to be loving. I need to, you know, I'd like to be less hard on myself. People always remind me of that and thank you for all the nice messages that I get about that kind of stuff. Um, you know, I just, it hurts me when people, when I see, you know, young guys, I mean, when I see anybody that's struggling, you know, and it just makes me,

you know, we can just do better, I think. And I'm not saying you can do better. I'm just saying, and then all I can do is just do better. You know, this is life. This is a, it's, it's, it's a great opportunity, right? To be alive. And, uh, but yeah, I just feel, I guess, some sense of responsibility that, um, since I have some sort of a platform,

not that I could tell anybody what to do or how to be or anything, but I do feel, uh, I don't know, I guess I feel some responsibility to, um, well, it's like, I just want to, I don't know, man, it's like, I am happy. You know, I am happy. I just, um, I'm grateful for, you know, for, for the fun stuff I get to do. I get to be in this fun circle where like, dude, I get to talk to Joe Rogan. Sometimes I get to, um, dude, I get to meet single moms who, you know, and, and, and give him a hug.

Like I wanted to hug my mom when I was young and just, you know, or be a part or like, you know, help out with our Patreon group and help the, you know, do, you know, try and do something nice for them. Like, yeah, I get to do a lot of things that make me feel good. Um, but I think there's something in me that always wants her to be something else. I always want to keep moving the carrot. Uh, and I think like, you know, I want to be able to, you know, that's why I put, I decided I want to go do the Ronald McDonald house again and start that back up

because I need something also to just make sure that I stay in a place, um, where I realized like what's important, you know, for me, you know, I don't want to get disconnected, man. I don't ever want to, uh, I don't ever want to look at somebody that needs help and think like, uh, you know, or, uh, or, or look at anybody like that. You know, that's the same way that I felt like people looked at me a lot of my life. You know, people always think like, oh, you know, that, you know, I can only speak from my perception that like, you know, poor white kids, you know,

they have all this opportunity. Everybody has, just if they have a white skin, they have this opportunity or everybody struggles, man. Everybody, I don't care who they are. I don't care if they're wealthy. I don't care if they're not. It doesn't matter, you know, struggles that hunter baby struggles that hunter and it gots all the, you know, it gots all the weaponry.

I just don't, you know, I don't want to miss the opportunity to be used to be helpful. That's what it is, man. That's it. That would make me happy. You know, if I know that each day I try to put myself in a position or show up enough to the day where if I can be helpful to somebody else that not only am I excited about it, but I'm willing to do it. And of course, that'll never happen all the time.

It'll never happen. But that's kind of what makes me feel good. You know, it just makes me feel good, dude. It just makes me, because the truth is that's a lot of what's going on. You know, I wish that the people know what's going on. You know, I get upset sometimes at the media and all that kind of shit. They don't care. They don't know.

They're in a business. But I feel like people know what's going on. And I feel like we're headed in a good direction, man. I feel like there's a lot of, man, there's a lot of love on the streets and there's a lot more right around the corner, bro. So I don't even know if that answers your question, man. I don't even know what I'm talking about, but I know that for me, my battle is like just making sure that I'm just taking care of myself

enough to be present enough so I'm not missing an opportunity to be of service in some way because that makes me feel good. You know, it makes me feel good. So anyway, I'm kind of rambling, but let's take another call that came in right here and then maybe we'll scoot off of this episode. And man, thank you guys so much. Halfway to Christmas. I might have to start thinking about what I want, you know.

Yo, what up to you? My name is Connor. I'm from Pittsburgh and today's actually my 22nd birthday. Oh, awesome, man. Happy 22nd, Connor. Oh, and it's Connor McGregor's birthday I think was yesterday. So that's kind of crazy. And I just wanted to say that I'm a massive fan.

My brother actually got me into you. And this past year's been a pretty tough year for me. Our mom's been battling cancer and I really just wanted to use this outlet to kind of thank my brother because he's been the most amazing person through the whole situation. And I've been at college, so I don't have a whole lot of money. So he takes me out every weekend. He shows me a good time and he's helped me through a really rough break up.

And he's just the most amazing guy. He flew us out to Denver to go visit our cousin. And I just wanted to spread a little bit of positivity because, you know, he's a huge listener and he got me into you and he gave me a laugh every Monday and Thursday. And I just really wanted to say thank you and, you know, have a great week, man. Gang gang. Gang gang, bro.

That's cool, man. Well, that's nice that your brother cares like that. That's cool, man. That's cool, bro. That's cool that you got, you know, your brother, you guys are out there. You guys are on the front lines for the family. You know, you got cancer on the, you know, on the horizon, but you guys got it in your scopes with your hearts and you guys are caring

about each other, dude, and just trying, you know. Man, it's crazy how much my brother's, it makes me think of my own brother. And I'm sure there's a lot of people who live, you know, whoever's listening to this, this bullshit right now that are thinking about their brother, man. Dude, my brother used to make me listen to all of his music. That's the only thing I knew about music. It's still the only type of music I really even know. People ask me about music.

I'm like, I don't know. I listen to maybe Rodney James, Dio, Tesla, you know, I listen to some NWA. I listen to whatever my brother listened to. You know, it's funny when you're young and stuff. You just want to be your brother so bad. Even if he beats you like, damn, my brother beat my ass. But damn, bro, he's awesome. You know, you just want to be your brother so bad.

It's so interesting how that happens at that age. You know, it's a special gift. I know there's a lot of single, you know, not single kids out there, but hopefully there's a ton of single kids out there. But there's a lot of kids, children that, you know, they don't... What am I talking about? There's a lot of kids that, yeah, fuck, I don't know, man. But that's nice, dude.

It's nice that you care about your brother. And I'm glad that he listens and I'm glad that you listen. And I'm glad you guys are out there. I'm glad you got a teammate in the world. That's what I'm saying. They're just, they're only children. And they're only children so they don't really get that opportunity. So it's like we all have this different gift, man.

We all have, some people got a gift. Some of it's on the inside. Some of it's on the outside. Some of us have a brother. Some of us don't. Some of us have a sister. Some of us have two children. Some of us can't have children.

Some of us can juggle. Some of us can't read. Dude, the guy that can't read, oh, yeah, sucks a lot at the times. But when he walks back by a fucking bookstore and feels no regret, goldmine of comfort. There's all the, every, the two sides to the sword. You know, there's two sides to every sword, bro. And we just, you know, I don't know.

Fuck, I don't know anything. Isn't that amazing? But I know that you care about your brother. And that makes me feel good because it made me think about my brother, dude. My brother is such a weird guy, bro. And he's so hard on himself, dude, but he's such a loving guy. And, and he tries his best and, you know, and we just, he and I were hard on ourselves because we don't, you know, we developed our own sense of what was okay or what wasn't.

And we didn't, you know, nobody was hard on us or easy on us. And so we didn't even know. And our brains don't want to leave. You know, sometimes if you develop your own thing in your head, that thing can sometimes be mean, you know, and, but I know, man, my brother's like my, you know, he's my idol now. And he's not perfect and need, and I'm, and I'm far from that. And, and we never will be, but, you know, we have these little moments sometimes where,

you know, he's just everything I always wanted him to be. And I'll never probably fully be able to let him know that, but, but that's some of my journey. You know, I get to be a brother in this lifetime. Man, that's cool. You know, I get to call somebody who has the same blood I have in my body in their body and let them know, Hey man, you know, how's that flow going, bro? We're riding on a, on a risky river, aren't we? With this blood is category four rapids right now in here, brother.

We boiling or whatever is going on. Anyway, I'm rambling, but thank you guys so much for being a part of this episode. Whatever that even means. I feel like it's just sometimes I like going like turning it into like a radio DJ. I don't know. Congrats to Uriah Faber on his win, man. I'll say this about Uriah Faber, dude. I've shaken, I bet probably 6,000 people's hands in my life.

The strongest and heaviest hand I've ever shook in my whole life. Uriah Faber's. That guy has a damn 19 pound hand. I mean, that guy, you look, he got some real, he's real, real handsy that fella. He's one of a kind, man. Congrats to him for coming back just for having that, you know, giving himself that chance and taking that risk as brave. You know, I'm fascinated by people that are brave around me constantly. And thank you guys for calling in.

You guys be good to yourselves, man. I'm going to try it. We're going to make it. We're going to make it. It is on the way out, actually, because, you know, this is Bishop Gunn making it. I ain't seen home in about a hundred days, I can almost hear mama pray for my restless soul. And I ain't made a dollar, I ain't spent, but when it's going ain't killed me yet. I still get where I'm bound to go.

I'm making it, I'm making wrong, feel right. I'm making it, and it hails where I'm headed there. I'm making good time. Gang gang, man. Thank you. I wish I was a singer, bro. If this bottle was an hourglass, I'd say that I'm about an hour past the minute. I should have put it down.

I wouldn't wear pants if I was out there if I was a singer. But I'm making it, I'm making wrong, feel right. I'm making it, and it hails where I'm headed there. I'm making good time. Halfway to Christmas, guys. We can do it. We can do it. We got this.

We're making good time. Making good time. Between the lives that I've crossed, and the films that I've lost, here alone in my skin. But I'm in pretty good shape for the shape that I'm in. I'm making it, I'm making wrong, feel right. I'm making it, I'm making it, I'm making good time. I'm making it, I'm making wrong, feel right.

I'm making it, and it hails where I'm headed there. I'm making good time. Man, bro, we making it, dude. We making it. You gonna make it today. I promise you. I promise you. We all.

I promise you. We're all gonna make it, man. We all, we're all special living. We're all special needs. You know, we all, you know, but Santa's coming, bro. And you guys be good to yourselves. Thank you for being here for me today.
