where it's like okay this is a moment that's not where i'm not being pulled or pushed or interrupted or overwhelmed or well overwhelmed is okay but where i'm not being like where i'm not needing or wanting anything except for some of my own time um like i just want to have a like have enough peace or whatever going on so i can evaluate where i am sometimes things are so busy so hectic you don't even know what's going on you haven't even looked at you know sometimes you're so busy you don't even look at you know you'll take your pulse in the evening and you're dead you were dead you died in the morning you

didn't even know it because you just been you just kept you know you were just running on but you kept going you're like damn well you died and you run into a buddy's like oh damn i you're you're dude you gotta lay down you're dead you know you died earlier but that's what it's like these days things get so busy that um you know i don't know if i'm living sometimes or if i'm doing a to-do list and then i don't know whose to-do list it is sometimes i don't know if it's my own things that i want to be doing is it things that i feel like people want me to be doing like who's expectations am i

living up to or am i chasing or am i trying to fulfill that's what i wonder sometimes um um and i can just ask myself well hey who's is this your dream you're doing is this your goal you're doing is this and it can be anything anything you're doing throughout your day or you know if in your plans or in your week or something that you're a current you know job or um undertaking a relationship even it could be anything that you're doing or committing yourself to and i just ask myself sometimes who's

whose goal is this who's expected is this mine is this um um my parents is this a god is this who what am i doing and for whom am i doing it and so i think yeah some of the getting some moments of time where i have to myself you know i just i need that to touch base with myself and and just to look at the charts you know it's like sometimes you don't look at your chart you don't look at your own you don't take enough inventory of yourself and you don't yeah you don't even know what's going on you finally look at your chart and you're like yeah damn i

you know i took a wrong turn four four months ago but i just didn't even you know i didn't stop and look at where i've been because i just think that if i keep going i'll get some i'll get i don't know i don't know i'm kind of rambling but sometimes these days you get so busy you don't even you know by the time you look at your uh your chart you were supposed to use dead use died a week ago and you're just out here damn ghost and doing stuff making wagers online and uh you know going buying stuff at uh trader joes and shit and you're down you're supposed to be deceased and you're like oh damn i didn't even i was so busy live you know living or doing that i didn't even realize i was damn gone that's how busy

you can get these days i it feels like um anyway sorry if that was kind of a down or i'd mean to be a debbie down or whatever but i just yeah i think i just been running so much it's um i'm trying to get a little bit of take some inventory of myself see what the what's what's going on with you how are you what's up um so and i've been a little i think i've been a little bit burnt out you know i gotta get a week off sometime soon i'm gonna take a um vacation in a vacation that's just where i mean that's kind of where you tell that's where you tell time to kind of hold your nuts bruh huh so yeah let me do that let me um let me think about what i've been let me take a moment i feel uh you know i've been worried

recently about my own ego i've been worried a lot about my own ego um um just because the ego it's such a sneaky thing it's like your shadow but but it's on the inside of you and its goal is to to is to is to trick you to think that you're having self-confidence that's what i think let me see what is it ego a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance um the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious and the unconscious

and is responsible for a sense of personal identity yeah i think i just i think i've just been worried about my ego a little um you know i think there's there's things have just kind of gotten busier and stuff and so i just i just worry about it you know i want to i want i want to try and be you know i can just feel it flare up here and there like um oh why isn't this this way or why you know expecting things to be perfect expecting and it's not like i deserve them to be perfect but it's still it's an expectation that things should be or things wiring things going smoothly

what you know so i just i just want to have awareness of that because that's the work man if you have if your ego is leading the drive this and then you're it's not even you that's not even it's you but it's you just you're working for this you working for a damn dirty landlord brother if your ego is running the show so anyway that's been something that's been going on what else um yeah i want to take a vacation so i'm going to do that sometime and uh yeah just still battling trying to stay off the vapes it's been a war i had five days at one point and then i seceded i seceded uh to the union or whatever i don't know what i seceded to but i gave up and i just damn hit that bitch son and i've been on i've been

drop me off there mom would drop me off there and uh and i got the cut i get that trim but one time i was in there she had a stroke right and she's laying on the ground with the scissors you know and i'd never been around somebody that had a stroke i didn't know what it was and so i just sat there man you know i feel bad about it i was well behaved but i sat there for probably 15 minutes and i thought she was just being real quiet or something or i don't know what i thought maybe she was doing hide and go seek but she just forgot to hide and thought she was hiding or something i don't know what i thought at that age but i remembered as being in that room and it was quiet as could be and then her son came or something and he's like what the hell

happened in here and he called me a f*** it and uh anyway what else man sorry i'm just going off on it that's where i'm at i'm all over the place um i just got back from uh i just got back from medford massachusetts over there at the casino ballroom and that was an interesting venue for comedy i i uh i appreciate everybody that came out the setup of it is an ideal for comedy uh but a nice staff over there beautiful um and a lot of beautiful people that came out and god it was freezing and was it was bizarre and freezing over there and um and yeah next time we'll try to find a venue that's a little more suited for comedy it's a i think for rock and roll or for um you know if you're going to see like a little peep uh reenactment or you know if disney

does like little peep on ice or whatever then i think it's great but i think for comedy for me it was tough because i like everybody to be able to see me in the front and this was uh i came around the sides a little bit so um but i was thinking about that i was like how do i the second night i was like how do i adjust this show so everybody can see perfectly and uh anyway we did our best and i just want to thank everybody who came out there um who came out in houston who came out previously before that in boston um down there in corpus christi um yeah it's just been a lot of places i didn't get to do as many uh pop outs into the lobby to thank people we tried some this weekend the lobbies were small um in houston we did one night or two nights we came out and it was just

pretty chaotic so um we'll just try on our best you know i'll try my best to pop out there afterwards for people that are kind of hanging around and um but i just want to let you know that because some people would send me a dm like i you know i didn't and we like we came out you just you know we we don't you had already been gone by the time we got out there sometimes we didn't get to do it um but we try and i just want to let you know that i think about that um what else oh uh billy conforte's brother came out and his name is chuck chuck mince named after the candy i think but they spell it different they spell it different uh and everybody a lot of you guys know billy conforte and you remember him and man he was you know billy was the first

he was a homosexual um um kind of uh prize fighter slash bus boy that was a lot of you know i would say those were his domains really and he would you know he'd damn you know he'd handjob a male waiter and he'd have but at the same with the other hand he'd be you know cleaning up a foretell so he'd be polishing off a of a one top and a four he'd be you know he could do a bottom and a four top at the same time that's who he was and and when i met him he we were working at like a fine dining type of place but nobody ever came in there so we were just doing whippets mostly and we did so many whippets one time he's just told me that he was gay and

i think that that and that was the first gay human i'd ever met and uh anyway he and i became good friends over the years and and he would sell uh he sold he sold a lot of good weed i think it was good now i'll say this this he had billy uh also had a lot of attack animals he had attack animals and if you don't know what that is go up to an animal and and if you get attacked then now you know know so he had a he had a lot of pit bulls and he would train him i mean these things were

he'd be like oh it's the nicest dog do bros the nicest dog and then you go pet it and it would it would fucking rearrange your fingers on your hand so he would get you you get you you get high with him and then the dog would be so scary that i would be i'd be on the furniture i'd be hanging from the sillum fan so i think a lot of people they would see that you're like damn that's the best weed in the world this dude's hanging on you know this dude's doing interior design in the house he's you know he's living in one of the dresser drawers this guy's fucked up that must be the gas weed right so anyway but the truth was he had dangerous animals and if you bring an attack animal with you and you get somebody high even on skunk weed then suddenly your shit is the greatest

shit they have because if somebody sees you know somebody take a couple puffs of your stuff and then they've run across a field yelling help me they're gonna be like damn that's killer weed but really that's just killer and he's a you know four-year-old uh american pit bull rescue you so well his brother came out man and that was beautiful to get to spend time with him that was in baton rouge i don't think i mentioned that and he brought his uh billy conforto's niece and uh nephew and it was good to see that their births weren't affected by drugs or anything you know they were two able-bodied children and uh mentally able and very kind and um it was just great man it was great it was like i was there with billy for a minute you know it was uh it was

pretty special and what else we reached out over there to do a special plaque or something for him in uh in louisiana and so far the places that we've reached out there over there in mandeville we have gotten denied so far so we're still seeing what we can do uh we want to do something a little bit like nicer something uh you know you can't just do it if you call any place they say oh you can do it or you you know everybody can't call and put up a uh you know a peach tree for you know somebody for boo rally or whoever died because it'll be all trees so you have to do something different so i don't know we'll figure it out but i just wanted everybody to know and on the youtube's we got pictures of uh his family that came out um what else i'm gonna have a sip of

water right now i'm gonna take a moment for myself and have a sip of water um praise god baby i'm upstairs what helps man i went on a little coffee date yesterday i met up with a gal and uh uh we had a little coffee and she showed up i think she was on some type of uh she seemed like she was on a um stimulants i'll say that i think she was on damn stimulants bro because i was uh she was like trying to listen fast you ever talk to somebody and they just keep getting closer to you bro like they just like they just

like they're not gonna hear your next word they're gonna try and fuck it you know like they just like boy you put that word out here i'm gonna fuck that thing like that she would just seem like real stimulated so i think she was on some damn stimulants man so i just ordered a salad and chatted with her for maybe 27 minutes then we took a little walk around on the sun went in the sun because i like staying in the sun when i walk and uh and then that was it went our separate ways um oh man all along for the days when i could whenever everything felt uh normal i when everything felt a little bit more

categorized inside of me and specifically in my brain and so that's where i started noticing for myself i got to slow things down a little bit and give things a little bit of an opportunity um but i got zack here zack's gonna help me with the news today uh producer zack how are we i'm good i need one second but i'm good okay hold on give me a second no take a moment for yourself man that's what we're talking about today but cut that audio off if you don't mind so we can have our moment too while you're having your moment you know silence that's that's gonna become part of a premium i noticed that you go a place now when there's 17 screens going and there's a damn

violin and there's uh somebody playing a uh somebody playing a machine gun and there's all kind of stuff um you know it's hard to get a little peace these days and that's one thing that was nice up there in new hampshire one thing that was nice was um the wintworth hotel and man if you could bring that bring that up zacky this place is and i think a lot of people go there for the uh summertime but let me tell you you want a good night you want some peace and quiet you want some you want quiet and quiet there any pieces pieces is like a little louder than quiet right you want quiet and quiet that's it wintworth hotel can you see it here we go there we go take a gander at it

now i'll say this it's a little pricey it's not crazy though but it's a little pricey um but i think it's the kind of place where you're investing in what you get on your return i i felt fortunate that we could stay there and i really really liked it uh but it's quiet i mean they don't even um it's quiet just think of something think of something real quiet zack what is it like a uh like you ever have a computer in your room and you're like going to sleep at night the computer's running yeah like a little fan like a fan in the computer you mean yeah like a fan running the computer or let go yeah that's that's not that quiet is that quiet or not quiet you think you want to go quieter than that yeah yeah like what is as quiet as something can be

what's the quietest you ever been be honest when i was i went to my friend john's house one time when i was a kid and he wasn't there and his parents were fucking so i just uh i listened for a little bit and then i i got out of there wow what made you get out was it a certain did something was there a certain did they shift gears or something did something did was there a part where you're like okay this is too much because yeah that's real quiet when you're trying to be so quiet that you are yeah if you're listening to somebody else mate or fight if you're listening to like putting your ear to the wall like your original reality television was putting your ear to the wall right before they

had all the shows it was peeping tommy or putting your ear to the wall and there'd be no you'd yeah you would i would i remember literally i would squeeze my ribs like this to keep my heart from even making that sound that it makes so i could i didn't want to miss one moment i didn't want that commercial break of my heartbeat to interrupt the just the pristine pure reality television i was getting by listening to my neighbors fight or have sex or both i remember one time people were definitely somebody kept punching somebody and then you could hear them just just damn ejaculate so what was it what do you mean what were you saying you said oh and so what caused you to leave oh i just um you know they were they were kind of going out and it was like my best friend

man yeah and if i'm being it's being honest his mom was hot and that was kind of a factor in it too but uh i mean you know how that like you i felt like i couldn't it felt like illegal to be there yeah oh it's hard to it's there's definitely um it's hard to listen to somebody you care about's mom um getting plugged up by somebody thank you yeah i appreciate that man but yeah i there were oh i remember god the neighbor woman if i got in the neighbor woman's hamper i damn i remember just i would just stay in there dude and just smell all her clothes and i remember just wishing that she was my mom i remember that what else we got the news hit us with some of it's that we got to get to some calls a lot of calls have come into the hotline nine eight five six six four nine five zero

three some we saw um panic on it a new study and it says 77 of americans are too fat mentally ill or on drugs to join the military okay well let me see about this 77 of young americans go go to the information here and what do they say in there uh pentagon study revealed that 77 of young americans do not qualify for military service without a waiver due to being overweight so they're not good out of the gate they would have to make an exception right okay um over the overweight what else drug use drug and alcohol abuse is eight percent uh medical physical health seven percent of it these are the percentage of people who didn't get in and mostly though it's overweight okay and that's between the ages of let's give real information here please go back down that's between

the ages of 17 and 24 okay several key findings go on more please several key findings were noted in the summary report for example most ineligible youth 44% are disqualified for multiple reasons rather than in only one area would you have any of these you think uh is that yeah i think i don't think i'd make the weight cut what is there a weight cut do you know it i don't know what the number is but i i don't think i don't think i'm there dog and that's okay man and any of the other ones because it says with one you could probably get a waiver well i could get a waiver for the overweight and then i can lie about the mental like if there any you can just kind of lie about all that stuff that's true huh yeah the weight you can't lie about it you know so if you

can just get a waiver for that then what's the problem yeah yeah it's weird you can't really dress in black enough to look like you're not on lexapro or so you know yeah um but okay so the weight would keep you out and you would be able to lie about the yeah lie about the other stuff then we're good yeah and that's our military and i could get in shape i feel like it's you know like couldn't they get us in shape maybe so so that's the news the largest increase and i'm not shocked go back up to the top of it there but um americans are too fat i mean definitely there are some places you can there's people that you can see people and they are bigger than when they got here uh and even if you to take them as a baby and put them did like age progression they would

have never got to where they are now there's people that are bigger and so that's this also shows where we are in time i think i think if we it's been a while since we you really felt like a calling as a regular person look there's no draft there's no anything that has to you have to stay on your toes there's no mandatory service so yeah people i think you're gonna get fat you're gonna get mentally ill though a lot of that goes in hand in hand too i don't want to say that but but you know your brain is part of your body if somebody cracked your body open your brain's going to be in it and so if you got gristle on your body you could have gristle on your brain it might show up differently that's why sometimes i feel like if there were a war if there were a

big like something that would call everybody together and bring everybody like okay we're on the same team you almost wonder if the dark artists that are out there that are stirring the cauldrons you know that are putting the ingredients into all of this if that's what they're aiming for what else we got zack um nasa announced the first crew that's going to go to the moon for the first um first crew in 50 years i should say that's going to go to the moon this is them okay we got a brother in there definitely lamar odum they're sending and three whites okay they're just going to fly around the moon and come back so they're not going to land on it fyi oh this sounds like uh john glenn he did the orbit no this sounds like um bangboss is going

down this is the collaboration can is it real it is real i just don't understand this i don't understand that as a marketing tool unless maybe they know something that we don't maybe they're trying to like you start to think if there's bigger powers out there that are influencing like they want more confrontative type stuff you know i just don't understand the connection like unless you want i don't know if bud light drink i just don't know if i'm a bud light if i'm a beer if i want to get something that's making me discuss like a uh topic that's argumentative yeah i would i'd venture to say most of their clients aren't interested in that right that's what they yeah it's like it's almost that like thing where it's like why do you put it if it's

something just let it be something why does it have to be something that you use as a tool for marketing all the time i think they're just trying to get in the trans market you think so how much how many trans people are there um okay this is a ucla study from june 2022 you nearly one in five people who identified as transgender ages 13 to 17 hmm 1.6 million people ages 13 and up identify as trans that's this number is right here what percent of humans are trans folks you know the i didn't 1.6 million people ages 13 and up identify as transgender and i guess

and that's what it what does it mean identify you know do you think trans people drink bud light oh i bet i bet after you go home and you take off the lashes and then it's like oh ron what a fucking day over there outside of claire's boutique you know what a day what a fucking day over there outside of the uh courthouse my god these heels are killing me uh let me put my crocs back on and light up a marlboro red i think yeah i think for sure dude after you go home look after every man goes home from work and takes off the whatever the job is i don't care if the job is lipstick um or whatever you know if you do whatever you do if you do hair extension whatever uh yeah you fucking definitely want a coldwood so maybe they're on something maybe they're on to something

i just wonder does nature what does nature do because i wonder sometimes what is going on are more people just identifying that they don't know how they feel genetically or more people saying i want another weiner or no uh vagina what are they saying yeah they probably just want to lose the given one and get a different one and what do they do they fill the vagina in with what weiner uh you know something along those lines probably you're close to it i think it's a little bit i think they're getting better at it each year wow man we gotta have a we should have a surgeon

on to discuss that um okay what else yeah i guess what do you think do you think bud light drinkers are gonna i wonder if they i wonder if people who used to identify as men drank bud light and then transition to women and stop drinking bud light because it doesn't fit that vibe and now bud lights like well you like it you know you could drink maybe they're trying to normalize drinking it for for trans people but it's really you're going for a very small market 1.7 million right but what's the other size of the world i guess those are 13 no we don't know how many of them can drink yeah so what else we got i guess a couple migrants were arrested because they killed a bald eagle and they were playing on eating it and they didn't know that

you're not supposed to eat the bald eagles well we are these illegal migrants are illegal migrants that's what you have to wonder because if you don't one of the things that should be on the test is can you eat bald eagle yeah i guess there were 200 nationals were cited for unlawful possession of of the eagle yeah so just owning it or just possessing it yeah so i don't know i mean i think look it's one eagle well they're a protected species who the illegal aliens uh both but the eagle it's crazy i wonder what gets more protection these days isn't that crazy the guys said the eagle is dead yeah so um interesting uh the eagles did yeah they ate it i mean look i've had rare animal in my day i've had things that i've had i've had i've had things

i may wouldn't even mention others but it is what it is man and uh i say let them have one let them have one everybody deserves to taste a little bit of eagle i think all right is that all we got yeah i think so all right and that's zack from Cincinnati uh i wanted to take my glasses off to kind of just out of respect to to think about this next part um you know they had a shooting here in Nashville last week and um and it was you know i'd never been in something like that i'd never been that close to something like that i'd never been i saw cup i saw a couple brothers shoot each other one of them shot each other in the back one time outside of like i want to say like a dairy queen maybe something like that

one of those kind of shooty urban kind of restaurants but i'd never seen something like i'd never been around something like this when this had happened you know i'd never been around something like in the environment and you're you're in traffic and people can't get you know you can't get somewhere but you know it's because all the parents in traffic are trying to locate their children and it's just i mean it's you almost want to you want to get in the way because you want to try and do something but you can't there's nothing you can do it's just such an abrupt insane finality when that happens and i think i i just you know my heart goes out to obviously all those people i think you know i keep those people in my prayers and um and you know and they say that

prayers don't help but prayers are for p prayers are for comfort it's just taking a moment outside of yourself to to think of some comfort for someone it's just um it's saying hey here this moment in my life that feels peaceful i want to give it to you because you need it more than i do right now that's what a prayer is to me i don't think i'm not sitting there praying no guns or praying like don't people shouldn't shoot like i don't know everybody looks at it differently i'm not trying to get into that discussion so i think what i was thinking of is just how do we get how do you end up with people that do this type of thing how do you end up with these you know childhood shooters how do you end up with people that go into a school and do this and

i think a lot of it is to me a lot of it is a societal thing and i'm not gonna everybody has their views i'm not challenging your view here this is just a space from sharing what i think and i could be wrong that's totally okay but i i feel and i think sometimes that people don't have purpose you have a a country where you know it used to feel like like if you worked at a bit i'm gonna go off on some different thoughts here so if you worked at like a business then you had a lot of middle-class businesses you had a small a lot of smaller businesses and if you worked there then if the company did well you did well and so you had a sense of purpose maybe through your work you know you're gonna move up the ladder you were gonna be um you know

a foreman and then a manager and then maybe have some percentage share and then you know you were gonna get to a place and now it feels i think like we've we've let a lot of our companies get to these big conglomerates and it's about the bottom line a lot of companies are beholding to their shareholders but not to their their sharecroppers if you will to the people working within the company so then what i'm saying is as a as a person you may not feel any people you i feel like you people can get a sense of purpose from their work so if you don't have that sense of purpose then then you can be pretty aimless right and then if you don't have love like if somebody doesn't

love you or you feel in love or you don't love somebody like if you don't have a um family or a husband or wife or children then you may not feel like a lot of love right and so having love gives you a sense of purpose so and we have less families these days the familial structure is really kind of broken down in america you know you have a lot of single-parent homes you have a lot of two parents having to work um so right there we're kind of right there there's a place where people where i feel like people used to get a lot of purpose and now a lot there's people that aren't getting purpose from their work and there's people that aren't getting purpose from their heart being fulfilled by someone else or them being the piece that fills someone else's

heart so right there man you have a lot you have people who don't have a lot of purpose and then there used to be a sense of america we are this country we are these people we are united we are we care about our neighbor but that's a lot of that is going by the wayside uh we've become a you know i feel like our our our political leaders have sold us out to the highest bidder i feel like it feels like um it doesn't feel anymore like your politicians or your leaders have your best interest it doesn't feel that way uh and i'm not crying here i'm just trying to i'm trying to see how do we get to somebody that does something like that that's

what i've been thinking about like how do you get there how do you get to somebody that does a arm shooting of a school you know um because you got to get there somehow and it keeps happening so anyway i think that a lot of it is purpose if you don't have a purpose then you are at the whim of whatever could come along you're at the whim of whatever influence you whatever influence you get or whatever ideology comes along that um that you can attach on to and so no job no love no real sense of honor or connection to your country so then you i mean you're and then on top of that if you if you find that you're the victim if you start to say i'm well i'm a victim you know it's my you know everybody else i don't have any

responsibility for myself it's all your fault it's all your fault then you're gonna find not only you're gonna find any ideology that comes along which the internet is gonna give the internet creates a algorithm that gives you whatever you keep looking at you get more of so if you look at putting or something you get all putting boy and then three years from now i'm wondering why you too thick you can't be in the military now because buddy you putting doubt you chose putting and putting chose you because whatever vice it is it'll choose you back so you so if you if you want to be someone who um is you know you want to get involved with us like a alt right or alt left or you want to get involved with um school shooters or anti christian or anti um i'm just

trying to think something some severe ideology you want to get then the internet the twitter whatever is going to keep serving you it so now you next thing you know you're down a rabbit hole and i think at that point that's how you end up there i think you end up in a place where i'm gonna i'm gonna be seen i'm gonna make sure they know who i am i'm gonna make sure that they say my name or they hear my name or they see me um and that's just it's a that's heartbreaking along the whole way you know so i don't know i think i've just been having a lot of thoughts about that how do people end up there how do people get to a place where they would do that sort of thing now some people i think are just crazy and those are um crazy people that's different but how does someone who's

just been you know because next thing you know you're on twitter you're getting an anti religious thing you're like oh i went to a religious school i also have trouble identifying in the world maybe sexually so man i'm a victim it's all man you're really and then your twitter your feed your social media just keeps serving you more of that hey you're right you're right you're right and then man you're gassed up um so i think a lot of it is a sense of purpose you know uh and having a sense of purpose and some of those sense of purpose is like the american when i can feel i felt like when i was a child it felt like oh we're part of this you know but it doesn't feel like that a lot anymore but also i gotta recognize that i can still do things to try and make myself have a purpose

you know uh and you find purpose and you know i'm fortunate that people love me my family you know um you know that i have a job i have this podcast to come to i have uh i have some sense of purpose for myself you know and a lot of you guys do too i think we're kind of a purpose filled group or we're trying to find that but i think that's something that um i feel like that's for me that's something i think that that's part of that is that man when you don't have a purpose the dark arts well they were they are they are at your door they are waiting on the edge of your ear to come in and get your brain and those include like you know all the just the links just the rabbit hole you can go down in that'll make you hate because man you find a rabbit hole

you can when you get halfway to the bottom of that bitch there's a HOA meeting of just hateful owners association halfway through some of these rabbit holes and it's just it's just dangerous so anyway let's hit some calls huh paper serve on um lately i have been coming home from work and i like just to sit sit outside inside i like to grab a beer and i just sit in silence like not do nothing but my wonderful girlfriend who might have loved very much oh man she talks she talks so much oh my god dude first of all i this i didn't believe you had a girlfriend

i wouldn't i was not expecting that part that seemed like a uh a surprised all of us listeners i would say that but that doesn't mean anything and what i'm trying to say is yeah if there's somebody that talks too much dude it's unreal it's unreal i have a for an early girlfriend that called me sometimes she talks i don't need she talks uh oh my god if i even think about her calling dude i just get angry that's how i get because i don't want to listen to her i have people there's people i won't go to spend time with anything so they talk to me their wife talks much we're not friends anymore we're not friends anymore you know you sometimes you got to put your put your spouse on a word count i don't care who they are you get

4 000 words this spring do what you want with them but when it's done honey it's done and that's that get get a little step thing for words oh shit cindy gots about uh seven prepositions left boys that's all she's got and two nouns come on over it's gonna be a quiet time we about to enjoy the game um but yeah i don't have a solution to it you chose her you chose someone's you're a you're a lifelong listener they call it and you just a damn you know you a damn word pervert boy so you need to do something when she starts talking get that wiener out don't start drinking your own spit do something and it could go the other way too if you have

a chatty husband dude i was somewhere the other day we were in somewhere eating some meat and some guy wouldn't shut up it was uh you can't enjoy just you gotta shut up at times and here i am talking into the second hour of a show so what do i know um but let's see what else we got here yo they are i need some advice i'm down i'm my name's zack i'm down here in the boutique Louisiana area gang baby that's it boutique baby i feel you right over here about airport about a big bridges right over there near laplace where your boy billy conforto used to live and die and some weird shit been going on uh i've been having two best friends uh forever and i think they uh they fell in love with each other and turned gay and uh

uh i just don't know how to uh how to handle it they acting weird well they're not acting weird brother they're gay and and they're being gay and that's uh that's that's people are doing it it people are doing it you couldn't i mean these days you throw a damn frisbee it'll hit a gay dude that's that's how popular it is it's the new you know it's like doing the fries in the free chocolate freezy thing that's remember when that came out that same type of deal but it's man it's man doing it yeah i don't know what you do i think you'd be a supportive friend get them a trip get them a little vacation or something if you're down there and you know i don't know i don't know how what do you do i mean are you trying to see if they

are in love or are you because love here's the thing love ends up trumping everything and even if it's gay love gay love still ends in love so now i don't know i mean yeah i don't know what you do i think you fucking dap them up but that's what's going on now every people are being gay buddy and you got it if you you i can't but the odds you have two best friends and they fall in love with each other man and part of you is probably jealous a little that's what's the craziest part because i remember if i had two other friends growing up and if they even hung out together

without me brought a shit made me mad dude dude it's like oh you're gonna tell me fucking terry and fucking gerald we're at the skating rink yesterday and i'm at my house jumping through uh the ditch smoke because people was burning trash in the ditch by myself playing blm out there in the smoke and never having a fun time it's tough but do you willing to do gay to get all of the friendship and that's where one of them said hey look i'm about to secure the bag dude and he's talking about nuts son and that is gay men and praise god man thank you for sharing and i think yeah you just got to be cool with them

just chill man let them do it let them do it and love them all right let's take another one feel my name is jaymey i live in san diego kelifornia and i just think something immediately needs to be addressed oh well dang let's hear it jamie onward the president Joe biden okay okay that's why i look i think i this is one thing i Joe Biden is a he's a old man he has dementia it is not cool to do this to an old man that's what i feel like i don't care what your political stance is your human stance you know my father was uh 70 when i was born my father was

an old man so i grew up with a with with an old man and watching them and watching them and understanding their presence and their ability and their mobility all of it and we all know that this man is not suitable for what we have him doing or what people are pretending to have him do because at a certain point there's no way this guy is making choices or making decisions there's it's impossible it's impossible he's he's looking at things he's ordering you know the other day he ordered a almond or something off the top of a building he doesn't know he doesn't understand what's going on let's do petting visible cats and damn sniffing children dude it's all just old people stuff he's not well so at a certain point we're the kind of country that says not

all this is what we do with our old we we we take advantage of them to the point where we'll even we're even willing to let them be a shield which i don't know what that is it's it's something it's like a like a false front or something for whatever else is going on and i think that's pretty sick man if you saw somebody doing this to an old person you would think it was fucked up that's what you would think if somebody was doing this to you if somebody was showing up at your grandfathers every afternoon and making them go in the front yard and say a bunch of shit and then making them go back inside you know when they treating them up with ice cream or something and they got you know or whatever child sniffs or whatever they got a little bag of fucking you

know nine-year-olds you know barrette sniffing or whatever i don't know but it would be you know good and well it would be messed up so i think it's i think it's i think it's fucked i think it's fucked up by the uh by all of by all politicians but also it's the democratic party it's your candidate you got to know this isn't cool it's just not cool it's not cool to do to an old person you know i don't know what you would it's like it's like senior trafficking that's what y'all doing y'all senior trafficking that man and i think it's messed up and it makes it just reminds me and i think this makes me angry because it reminds me of uh you know you would see people take advantage of old people sometimes you know i would see that with my dad sometimes people would

take advantage of him because of his age or they would manipulate him or use him in ways that he didn't see because he wasn't able minded enough to notice and that shit made me angry and it's the same type of shit that these folks are doing on this more um um on this national international scale and level you know i don't know i'm sorry to let that get me keyed up but that's real to me man that's real stuff you someone shouldn't take advantage of a senior citizen like that they should it's not it's not it's it's messed up up it's messed up and we're acting like it's regal like who the fuck are you kidding that this is a regal way to go about anything

what else do we have zack any other calls you recommend sorry i'm i might need an afternoon off it's just been a lot man you know you go around you have a there's just it's just a lot baby boy what else who's somebody that's having a tough time with something hey deal uh my name's tauner i'm from uh Sacramento california what's up counter thank you for calling man appreciate you i just want to uh first thank you for all that you do uh you know i don't know if you realize how much uh you do for a lot of people you know you the way that you talk you know i relate with you so much even though we have such different backgrounds and upbringings and all that but i really appreciate what you do and uh you know recently in my life uh i'm a new call

thank you brother i appreciate uh the nice words man is very kind of you onward you know recently in my life uh i'm a new college student you know starting my first year so a lot is changing in my life you know my parents are splitting up uh like the past couple months and uh i broke up with my girlfriend recently and it's just in a such a short amount of time my life has changed so much and so i guess uh what i'm trying to say is even when my life or just you know your life in general changing so much you know i find i find it hard to motivate myself to get out of this low sort of uh ebb that i'm in so what i'm trying to say is uh when your life is changing so much and it's throwing so much at you so quickly like how do you how do you stay

motivated to really uh throw as a person anyway i hope i hope thank you brother that's a i appreciate the call and um it's funny that's kind of how this episode started out um yeah i think for one you got to find some moments of your own you have to you have to take a step outside of things um you have to find time to do that that you know uh and that means you know i gotta i gotta limit myself better on my phone and what i'm in what i'm in taking my attention what i'm giving my attention to you know people we don't even have imaginations anymore because we don't need it the second my imagination used to start like this your brain you would have a moment of peace you sit somewhere uh and then your brain

would get bored so your brain would start thinking of something or imagining something or creating something right because imagination is just where creativity does bad in practice right that's it and and next thing you know you would be imagining something and you would daydream or you would come up with a neat idea are you come up with a dream or a goal or a realization something that you needed to take care of that you hadn't but that all that all happened because you had that you had that open space you had that time you had that imagination imagination did that now the second we get a little bit of free time we go to something we go to a phone we go to a uh tiktoks you go to something you do a vaping

you do a looking at a titty you do with something you do with something because you can't handle that that what what's next what's next but all that used to be next was imagination and we don't have that anymore we've replaced it with let's just watch other let's just watch others or let's find something to take up this moment so i'm sorry i don't even know where i trailed i trailed off there what was i saying to this guy is that well he was originally asking about um staying motivated when life changes so much so fast right okay so you got to get that moment for yourself sometimes you have to find it right

because yeah that imagination would give you fun ideas it would make your life fun interesting you'd be able to conceptualize you'd be able to get a scope of your own life um so that kind of helped sort things now we're just always like in the uh experiential mode so we're not doing enough of the sorting to give us a good view of things um and when you don't have a view of things that can lead to depression you're like oh i don't know what i'm doing yeah because i'm not giving myself time to know what i'm doing i'm just doing um so sometimes you need a little bit more time to know what you're doing to get a look at things if you're if things are too hectic uh uh but yeah i think to stay motivated i think more than ever we're at a time where you have

to come to your own rescue you know the dark the the the the the dark arts of uh algorithms and screens and attention seeking advertisement you're depressed don't you want these fucking cadbury eggs that shit is at an all-time high and you got us you have to sometimes you have to come to your own rescue and that's the worst thing we want to hear because i want somebody to blame for how i'm how how how i how i'm him how i'm feeling i want somebody to blame i don't want to bow i don't want to have to put it on my you know i don't want to have to put the cleats on me i just want to look at the shoe marks on me and blame them on say oh you know debora did that jonathan did them you know but i don't want to have to get up and make my own

prints in the world so i think some of it can be that you know parents do get divorced a lot of times when you get out of high school they've been waiting to get divorced so as much as that can be tough on you i think try and recognize what their lives have been like maybe just hypotasin but recognize that they might have held on for an extra three years because you were still in high school as a child so i don't know there's a lot there but even if you have awareness you're calling and thinking about what do i do you know how do i stay motivated what was the last part he asked about what do you ask about that just um not being able to like waking up not knowing the motivation yeah it was you know parents got divorced uh broke up with his girlfriend

in college yeah yeah you got a lot going on so i think recognize that and give yourself a little bit of space yeah you might not wake up with the bed with the with us since a purpose every day but if you do start to develop one for yourself man it's going to be helpful and you can hear something that i've learned recently from a fellow buddy of mine and this is my buddy thomas that used to own gray block pizza and they were over there at 1811 pico boulevard on the way to the beach gray block get that hitter they was the original sponsor of this podcast and he told me the other day um he said hey man uh and they make the blue cube baths now he sold the one company and went from doing pizza pies to doing uh ice plunges and he's a he's the fellow that

gave me that beautiful ice plunge at the house that blue cube um but he said hey man you can each day when i wake up i decided if the world is for me or if it's against me and that's that's pretty powerful because right there you're gonna get a little bit of sense of purpose but having a good sense of purpose is so key man um and i believe the world is for you you i believe that the world is for us i really do i think that there's predators out there you know there's dirty lungs out there with damn trumpets tying the trumpets to their mouths but that don't mean that we can't fight baby that's what i'm saying and i think having a sense of purpose is key man and is the world for me or against me because if

i say the world's against me then that's how my day is gonna go this world is against me but if i say man the world is for me the world wants me to do well the world wants me to do better the world wants me to see someone and smile at them the world wants me to let someone go if they do something wrong not real like look not cray if they do something they get your shit get their shit you know or go get your shit back that's what i mean but yeah the world is it's for me so anyway i believe that the world is for you i believe that and every day you might not succeed in thinking that way but over time you can i believe that you can so i just pray that you have some sense of purpose man i pray that i do too every day i don't but some that you

know but more often than not i feel like i do and um i'm grateful for that uh but if you're struggling man if you're going through something man just don't feel like you're alone you know there's people thinking about you there's people you can't even see or feel in the distance that uh that care about you so let's get out of here the way we came in sorry this is alone i hadn't been gonna spend time with you guys in a little while and uh and this was important to me i'm gonna take a week off at some point in the coming weeks and so i'm gonna start to figure that out but uh you guys be good to yourselves baby let's go out the way we came in on eddie nine volt little black flies

a little too far you can see the cigarette burns on the wall and all the empty bottles in the hall
