Today's episode is brought to you by Ridge Wallet. Ridge Wallet, it is, it's a, I mean, it's a damn wallet. And you know it, and it's a, you know, people will often, they put stuff in their back pockets or sometimes they'll give a wallet and they'll make their wife kind of carry the wallet on their shoulder or something with like a heavy strap on it or, you know, or some people will bury their wallet

and go and get it when they need it and use money and then rebury it. And that's all of that shit is old. That's a bad idea. So what you need to do is get this Ridge Wallet and it's that front pocket carry. It's that hard piece. I'll listen to this sound.

That's me hitting my Ridge Wallet with my fingernails. The Ridge Wallet, it's that front pocket carry and it blocks out dangerous rays from, I mean, people trying to steal your identity.

Oh, just a somber way, a somber way to move into the day. Oh, just a somber way, a somber way to move into the day.

Sorry, I, you know, I want to lift you up, but God, that Saints game, it just, it evaporated, part of me just evaporated when they lost. I mean, it was like someone, I mean, it was like someone, you know, just emancipated part of my soul. It was like they, you know, it was like, it was like, you know,

like that song like, take another little piece of my heart now, baby, you know, you got it. Man, it was like somebody just plucked a damn Aorta right out of my chest and just made a damn Aorta gravy right in front of me and drank it. It was like somebody just drank one of my favorite pieces of my heart. It was a tough one, man. That was a tough loss.

And, and, you know, they had to call, I'm talking about the Saints and Rams game and kudos to the Rams, you know, but not really, but also, oh man, God, dude, I knew it was a tough one when afterwards, none of my friends even wanted to say anything on the phone. We couldn't even talk. I mean, you know, the Saints lost last year

on that miracle play on that million dollar miracle. And, and that was, man, that one, that was heavy, but that happened, you know, and that was the bad defense, poor tackling. And then this one though, oh, they were supposed to be there and some things that happened, I think in life are supposed to happen. They're just supposed to, it is destiny

and it was supposed to be Breeze versus Brady in the Super Bowl. This is going to be the most, most watched Super Bowl ever. Even baby, even babies that were supposed to, you know, be born a month from now, they were going to come out early. You'd see an early, you'd see an early baby like, damn that baby, that thing's fucking premature, but it, it loves football, you know,

babies were going to come out of the womb early to see these two bad boys go at it. Breeze and Brady, Brady and Breeze. And, and that's what, that's what the, the, the, the, that's what the universe wanted. That's what the universe said, here you go, Saints, here you, here's some opportunities, here's some opportunities.

And, and look, a lot of people want to talk about that call. The past interference, unbelievable. Even more though, the helmet to helmet was the thing that got me really just felt like somebody just hit a bunch of just damn pop rocks, you know, just deep inside of my ass. And, ah, man, it just, it was just insane. I mean, you could hear the helmet, you could hear it at home, but that, but, but also the Saints had a part in it.

And I've said this for years. Sean Payton, too much ego, man. All those men worked that hard to get into that opportunity. And it's, the Saints have the ball with two minutes left and they're in the Rams territory. You run it, you just keep running it, man. The Rams have to use their timeouts and you give them the ball back with maybe 20 seconds left

or whatever, or a minute left and they have to go the whole field. It just, and you're still, and you're going to get your field goal. It just seemed like he, you know, he tried to run too many things with Taysum Hill. What do you, I like, I love Taysum Hill, but you have Drew Brees, brother.

Drew Brees is the, you know, if Jesus Christ ever had an appendix, and they took the appendix out of his body and it just showed up here on earth and just started just dropping dimes to people in the distance, that's Drew Brees. Drew Brees is the 11th finger of Christ, brother, and then not have him out there.

And you're trying these cutesy shit. Just, I mean, Sean Payton is sitting over there. He got that booty of his mouth. If you look at Sean Payton's, his mouth, like a damn booty hole, like a bee hole, sorry. And I didn't mean to say that, but like a bee hole. And God, why, and if he doesn't have to be cute there, if he doesn't have to be fancy,

if he doesn't do all that, the saints win. They ride, but when you, too much ego, man, that'll make destiny, it'll make destiny say, wow, this guy, I want to be a part of everything. He wants to do, he wants to be cutesy. He wants to be fancy. He wants to be fancy, boy, fancy, boy. And that's the thing.

And it hurts and people say, well, you're not a saints fan if you say that kind of stuff. Man, don't say that shit to me. I am a fan, brother. I mean, it's just, it's hard. It's hard. You know, and I immediately, I think of the, you know, a lot of senior citizens,

and they're going to die in the next year. They're not even going to get to see the opportunity for the next season. And this was something they, you know, just a lot of full hearts. You know, it was going to give them that opportunity to roll up into heaven with a little bit of, a little extra fucking, you know,

chowder in their bowl, a little extra spirit chowder in their soul bowl. And man, it just, oh, it was just heartbreaking. And I couldn't, I could not even bear to talk to some of my friends, man. One buddy I called and we sat there on the phone and we couldn't even talk. And, you know, it just, it just goes like that sometimes.

It just goes like that sometimes, but being a fan is hard, isn't it? I was thinking about that. Being a fan, because you want something so bad, but you have no control over it. You know, you, but you put a lot into it. You put time in, you show up and watch the games. You get you a little, you know, a flag or maybe some,

you know, a little, maybe shoes for the baby that have, you know, little Tennessee Titans on them or whatever you want, whatever your team is, you know, Brooklyn, I don't even know what that team is up there. Fucking, I think it's just a bunch of rappers and people with guns, really about Brooklyn Nets. You know, you get, you spend, you invest, you care, you read the articles, you know, you stay up late

and you go to your favorite reporter, you go to his Twitter timeline and see what he dropped after the game. You know, you mourn the loss when, you know, German Bushrod lost his child. You think about that during the day. You know, you think about that and you, you pray for him or you think about him

and you hope that he finds strength to continue his season and to keep his, you know, just find strength for his family and you know, you just think about a lot of these different things and you care and you're there and you want them and you see their joy and you see, and then it just, I just felt like Sean Payton to coach that way, seems selfish

because you got a lot of people whose lives are, can be affected by this moment of joy and I love my Saints, I'm a Saints fan, but I think that they were supposed to win that game and even with the call, like that's Destiny again, saying, look, here's the pass and the refs fucked out of, they missed that, so I put it half on the referees but I put half of it on coach Payton.

I really do, man. You know, and well, onward, bro, onward. But man, I was trying to go to this dude, I was driving, here was the thing, I came up, I was in Irvine this weekend and thank you to everyone that came out. This young lady showed up and she'd drawn a beautiful damn picture of me

and I was like, God, I should have been a piece of art because I look better as a damn drawing. You know, I'm really that, you know, two dimensional, let's fucking do it. When I get in a third dimensional, you know, like I am now, that's when, you know, things get a little, not as attractive, but she showed me, you know, it was just a stint, what is that called,

a little thing that you use to like show people stuff with them, it's like from the seven fucking pencil. She had a, she was like pencil and she did it and it was beautiful and she brought it out and what else, some man brought out some, you know, some toilet spray for when you in the toilet and I still got to look at that stuff and then what else? Oh, a nice gift.

Somebody brought me out a nice pen, but man, we had some fun. We had some fun. I tried a couple of jokes I'd never tried before, one about some fires. I don't know if I should have done it, but man, I tried my best. The Saturday early show was kind of dead.

I don't know what was going on. It could have been me, I don't know, but that Sunday show was Fuego. Man, that Sunday show and I needed it. You know, I'm so grateful because I needed, I needed that. Dude, driving to Irvine, man, I was almost in tears in my car, man, it just made me mad.

That Saints loss, it just, you know, when I driven back to LA the night before, cause my friend had a going away party. It was eating breakfast and then going away and damn, pop. And I was just, man, I was, I was in the car, man. I was just so, just, I was just disheartened. I thought the whole world was going to fall apart. I started feeling just down about myself, man.

I was just, it was just kind of a lot of emotions. I mean, it had been an emotional week cause I get into these shows, man. When I do my shows, you know, I get into it. I wanna, you know, I, you know, I want us to have an experience. And then, and then that said, this is that let down, man. It felt like there was a, like there was destiny in the world and then destiny got shook out of place.

And that can happen, man. I just, you know, I was, I was so angry before the past interference because of the, some of the coaching. I mean, just play calling crazy. Just pointless. I don't see how Breeze doesn't say, hey, this isn't a good play to call right now.

But you know what? I'm not a coach. Hell, I'm not even a player. Dude, I'm not even, I mean, my, my legs and my butt got tight like yesterday for no reason. So I'm not even, I'm not even a water boy, but, but I'm a fan, you know, and being a fan, you put so much out.

I don't, what do you think about being a fan? I'd love to know some of you guys's thoughts and just on what it is to be a fan and what goes into it and what, because here's one thing I thought. I thought this at the end of the game. I said, when I was driving down to Irvine, I thought to myself, I said, well,

man, if this is the type of refereeing they're going to have in the games, and if this is the type of, you know, coaches can just call horrible shit and it can break your damn heart. Like, I don't know if I want to watch as much or get as deep as I do anymore, because as a fan, because the other side of the equation,

they're not, you know, I felt like the coach didn't do his part and the refs didn't do their part to make it a fair, fair enough field for me to put my emotions into it. That's what I felt like. So, but yeah, if you guys have thoughts on what it is to be a fan and what that means to you, or if you had a family member that,

you know, gave it their, you know, just, I mean, some people, because I'll never play, you know, I'll never, there was a point in my life when I'll be like, oh, I might get out there and play, you know, I'd be sitting on the couch at 27, you know, you know, getting a couple of grams of fricking, that dusty, dusty, that dusty, dusty, dusty. And then next thing you know, I'm taking it in my head,

or I might get out there and play next year, I might try to audition for the New Orleans Saints. That was the kind of shit, or the LSU, you know what I'm saying, things would be in my head. First of all, my buddy's like, dude, you're gonna audition for the team? It's called trying out, you're an idiot. Dude, you go out there and audition,

you're gonna get sent to all heaven, bro. Somebody is gonna break your spine open with a straight spine buster, dude. So, yeah, but if you have thoughts on what it means to be a fan, and it just, man, it was just so painful. It felt like part of me just was so alive, and then it was gone, like it was, oh, it was just gone.

But thank you guys for being here with me today, man. Damn, dude, I couldn't even do the podcast yesterday, I was so upset, but I'm just so grateful, too, because I got on stage, and I was about to go on stage, and I was just not in a good mood, and then I did a meditation backstage for 10 minutes. You know, I just sat there and just shut it all down and put the timer on my phone, just crossed my legs,

and just closed my eyes in the green room, and asked everybody else to leave out of there for a few minutes, and, yeah, for 10 minutes, I would have sat there and just let all the things pass that were making me upset or whatever, and they disappeared, kind of, and then I got on stage, man, and, you know, it was really a nice gift from the powers that be in the world,

because I needed to have something fun to lift me up, and 500 people on Sunday night at Irvine did exactly that, and, man, that was fun. I had so much fun, so thank you guys for coming out. I will, what else happened, man? Oh, so I got a full body, one of those full body massages, those thigh massages, no, ladies from Taiwan, and I went in there and got that thigh massage,

and, dude, they walk on your back, I mean, this lady, it looked like she was loitering, and I was the sidewalk, this bad bitch was up and down the block, you know? And she had, I mean, she had real heavy feet, she was real, you know, cementy in the footage, and she just plopped them bad cats on me, and it felt like a real, if she felt like about a 50-year-old man kind of walking up and down my back,

but it was probably about, she was probably about 42, 43, but heavy feet, I mean, real heavy tarsals, probably the bone density in her feet could have been a damn category six, bro. So, but at the end, dude, so she got me on, you know, she doing my thighs and stuff, and I'm laid on my back, and that's in the, you know, I'm kind of vulnerable, I'm laying there kind of vulnerable,

and she kind of pats me on the crotch, on the fricking, on my little rocket, you know? She just does like this, just pats me on my little rocket, and asked me if I want that, you know, that party pop, you know what I'm saying? She asked me if I want that party pop, she said, but you know, she had thigh accent, she said, oh, you want the party pop?

I'm like, dang, you know? And I said, no, I said, I don't want that. I said, I don't want that. You know, I'm trying not to masturbate myself in you, I'm coming in here, my back's all tightened up, I got the ass of like a, my butt is, it gets tight, you know, my thighs get tight, my thighs get tight, tight, tight, tight.

You know, like a damn, like kind of, I got that ass cheek of like a, you know, a black girl with Down syndrome who's been playing Twister by herself, you know? My thighs get fucking just, you know, real tight, tight, because I got that booty, and man, she wanted to give me that, you know, that little, that party pop, and I said, no. And that's my thing, usually I go,

when I go into these places, these little, you know, the, the thigh massages, when I go in there, and they try to, you know, they try to, you know, get you to spray out in there, in the jack shack. And one of my buddies said they jerk him off sometime, and they left with the semen. You believe that shit? They put that shit on a little hot plate,

or a little griddle, bro, a little grill, and they, next thing you know, you got a damn family over there. You got a dang little, you know, you got a little, a couple of, a little batch of whites, or, you know, Latino, you know, you got a little family running around in, you know, in Kuala Lumpur. So that's, wow, that's the new thing,

they jerk you off, and then they cop that seat. And I'm not saying these women are bad women or anything like that, I mean, you know, seven out of, out of probably, seven out of probably 13 times I go into one of these massage parlors, and they do it right. And they do that choppy, choppy on daddy,

and they fucking, dude, they used to have these people, I told Jim Jeffries this, down 10, you for $40, these two Vietnamese dudes will fucking beat the fuck out of you. And they had soft arms and hands, but also like fast and soft, and it just, and it felt good. And it'd be like, damn, bro,

these dudes were assholes, but goddamn, they're really, do a great job. I feel so much better. What else is going on? I'm gonna pop into the news. Oh, I saw this, I thought this was interesting in the USA Today. They had, you know, they had some fellas,

they had a big, you know, these rallies and these marches and stuff. And, but I thought that USA Today did a good job today, and I shared this on Twitter. New video shows different side of protests with a Native American. And Native Americans, those are the original bad boys, those guys were out, you know, this was their country.

You know, they were here, they just really sprouted up out of the damn earth. I mean, they are just like birch, they're just like roses, they're just like ferns. You know, I mean, they're humans, I'm saying, but they are as natural as that. You know, it's almost like a stream, just, you know, it's just going through the land

and the stream and the land, got enough friction and the next thing you know, your boy Kilbasa popped out with a, you know, with a lot of, and he was just of the land and he was just of the nature, and that was a Native American. And he was a natural boy. And anyway, they had this conflict where it was like these guys from Kentucky, a school,

and everybody jumped on the bandwagon of saying that these kids were awful and these kids were horrible. And because only a small piece of a video had gone out where a Native American man and a group of, what does it say, black Israelite guys and these white Catholic kids that all kind of merged in this area.

And only a small piece of the video had gone out. And everybody just had, we all had conclusions, we all had thoughts, we all had this and that, you know. And then USA Today, I thought I did a good job of just saying, well, this is the full thing. A full video came out and this is the reality of what happened. And it seemed like everybody there definitely could have made probably some better choices.

But it seemed like the kid that they were trying specifically to pin this on was maybe the least, the least guilty of being too erroneous. And for one, he's very young. And the other people involved in the kind of exact conflict were a little bit older. But I say this, the reason I brought this up is because that's one of the value of podcasts

is that you can get the whole breadth of what's going on. And I just want to thank people that come and listen and that listen to other podcasts because you don't just get a little snip, you don't just get three or four seconds or 40 seconds of exactly what the writer or the creator wants you to see, what they want you to believe. You get the full story.

And when you go back and see the full story, you see that some of these other groups were causing a lot more trouble than this young boy. And in fact, the black Israelite group was really just raising sheer hell. And look, they all have their points of view and all points of view, you know, valid. I'm not saying that, but just what I'm saying is just that

when you see the breadth of the video, you see it all, you get the reality. At least then you can see, you can take everything into account. So I thought that that was at least USA Today made a point to say, hey, here's the full story. You don't see that very often. And that's one thing I like about podcasts and you get that full story.

You get that FS. But yeah, there's just more value if we can know the full story of things because you get the perspective, you get it all. You get what was happening before, what the buildup was, what occurred, what was, you know, you get it all and you can make an educated decision

or an educated idea. You don't see everybody's part in something. It's the same as with the, if you just look at the past interference call from the Saints Rams games, Saints Ram game, you know, which probably killed, I'd love to see an article on how many people died when the past interference call didn't get called. I bet, is there an over and under on that?

I bet 11 people died. I bet 11 seniors just took it right straight fucking tiktok or dog in that H-E-A-R-T papa and just said, fuck it, son. Life ain't what I thought it was. I'm going to heaven. And, but you, but, but if you watch that whole game, you see all of it.

You get the whole game, you see, okay, well, they had some opportunities here and they, you know, they, they, you know, they had their backup tied in in the beginning of the game and he missed the path and you just, you see all, you see all of the things that went along the way. You see the coach. Oh, the coach made these decisions, man.

He could have made better decisions. He could have not been cute. You see that. So you don't just get that moment, you get the full story. And that's one of the beauties of podcasting is you could sit and listen to a lot of people and get the full story.

And I believe that there's, you know, there's people that want to serve the short story to get their point across and there's, and there's, and podcasting, that's why it's taken off is because it, it just gives you the full story and lets you make your own choices. I don't feel like it's trying to convince you of things very much,

but also what the fuck do I know, man? You know, just a sad dude that drove down to Irvine last night and got lifted up by about 500 people and in turn had maybe the best show of the weekend, I thought. So what else is going on? Let's get into some of this, man. I want to tell you that I'm going to be in, in Columbus, Ohio next weekend.

I've also got Tempe, Arizona. The tickets for Australia will be going on sale in February. I think they go on sale February 11th. I don't know the cities yet, but I think it's most of them. We're going to do another show in Boston at the Borgata and you can check that bad cat out and that's Bean Town, they say over there, Boston. Dude and everybody in Boston, bro, that's freckles.

That's freckle country. You can get freckles over there. So February 22nd through February 23rd, I'll be in Houston, March 8th, the Wilbur in Boston, we're adding another show and then I'm in San Jose and Phoenix, Arizona and Kansas City, Missouri through March and April. So pretty exciting, pretty exciting stuff going on and thank you guys for your support.

We sold it out in Irvine. We sold it out and I want to thank Martin Luther King as well. You know, just a great speaker, a leader and I can only imagine the confidence that he had a lot of times to really stay in the face of adversity and trust himself. You know, even probably when people, some people were following him that he didn't, he might have thought were followers for him

for the wrong reason. A lot of people attached to Martin Luther King. You know, when somebody starts to be a leader, people attach to them and some of those attachments are good and helpful and teammates and some are, want to take and they want to just, you know, they want something for themselves. But, you know, he really seemed to be, I mean, he was just so poignant, so eloquent.

You know, last time I stayed up, I was watching a couple of different speeches and parts from different documentaries that were on YouTube and just such an eloquent man. You know, there's a real mastery to being able to get your point across exactly how you want it. It's one of the reasons I wish I had a bigger vocabulary sometime. But thank you to him because just little things like even for me, I wouldn't have been able to have a Sunday night show

that had so many people come out because a lot of people have the day off today. And thank you, Martin Luther King because, Junior, because you knew that I would need the day off after that fucking referee call, shit. And that is shit. So, and that is straight B-hole. And I will say that now, B-hole.

If you love sex, you're going to love blue chew. It's that time, baby. Look, I said this years ago that I said, look, man, one of these sexual pills, they should make a gum. They should make that bubble gum. That way you could be at the bar, be in the distance, chew a couple pieces, blow that big bubble, big bubble, let the ladies see that fucking bad bounce boy in the distance

flying out of your fucking flow state air face. And they'd be like, oh, dang, that boy got that big bubble going in the distance. And they know daddy's ready to pop, pop. You know, daddy's ready to freaking bust out them, you know, them body oysters. You know what I'm talking about, semen, you know, body semen. So, blue chew has it.

Blue chew is a performance enhancement for the bedroom. Wouldn't you like to last longer, go extra rounds? I don't want to go extra rounds. I want to go one round. And as long as one of us kind of wins and one of us, we can even both lose. One of my new things that I'm going to start doing probably in the next couple of years is no more even ejaculation.

You want that, you got to pay extra. You want that pop, pop. I know that a lot of these ladies sneaking, they putting that thing on, they putting that sauce on a warming plate and busting it out the back door, shipping it off to Guam or Germany, or probably, you know, New Jersey, or Bethlehem or something.

And they pop it, you know, and they slanging that, that sugar sauce on the DL, getting them heightened prices for daddy's pop, pop. But what I'm trying to tell you guys is, sorry, I can't get through this ad. What I do is a performance enhancement for the bedroom. You know, I've, you know, I've had issues over the years and I used to get them gas station wiener pills.

And I used to get them gas station wiener pills. And I'm not ashamed, man. People say, are you ashamed of that? I ain't ashamed of that. You think I'm ashamed of that? Now I would, sometimes I will say this, I would buy all kind of extra shit at the 7-Eleven to try and make it look like I wasn't getting those.

Like I'd get like a, you know, a couple bananas, a gas can. I'd get nervous. I'd be like, oh, six scratchers, you know. And then, you know, maybe a thing of almond milk. And then let me get them, you know, them rhinoceros silvers. And he's like, huh.

And the guy would be like, what, what is it? And the guy wasn't a different ethnicity. He was just a white guy who couldn't speak well. And he's like, what, what is it? So let me get them, them rhino silvers, boy. Let me get them fucking giraffe makers. You feel me? Them gas station wiener pills.

Daddy, you know it. You know what I'm talking about? I need two gallons of gas and some fucking and, you know, and I need about two grams of that silver rhino down in a nut tank. I need, I need two gallons of 91 octane and I need a 40 milligrams of that silver rhino down in a nut tank.

And look, a lot of that shit didn't make your legs sweat. And then your body, your, your, your, your wiener will get hard out of fear. Your wiener's like, damn, the legs are sweating. Something's going on. You know, what if the legs aren't going to work and the wieners is probably thinking, I might have to become a leg or something.

I might have to walk for us. So that's when the wiener gets hard.

sexual issues. God, dude, I got so many issues. But I'm seeing a sponsor. I got a new sponsor. I know we talked about some of that in the past and I'm happy to be having that right now and trying to get through some of more of my program step work.

My life is pretty good, man. My life is pretty good. I was just thinking about that, bro. I was just thinking, I think part of the reason I was even sad, like I was driving down to the game and driving down to the show yesterday and I was sad after the loss, man. I was really heartbroken.

But I think some would just, you know, so many people came out and it's just exciting and I just, I think part of me there's a fear that I'm not going to be able to make people laugh. For, you know, or I'm not going to like live up to like people's expectations, you know? And, you know, I couldn't really figure out what the feeling I was having yesterday

when I was driving down there. But I guess it was like, okay, I'm feeling kind of bad right now after the game. You know, I messed up and I hadn't taken my little, you know, antidepressants, you know, for a day and so that started to factor in. Like, oh, well, what if you start, you know, you're real in a little, you're starting to lose grip

on the mountain, you know, with touch. And so that was kind of going on. And so then when the thought that, man, maybe, I was like, wow, if my feelings aren't, if I don't keep myself in a healthy place, then what if I get on stage and I just make people, it's not good, you know, I'm not able to do my job or people don't like it.

I think I just got a lot of fear. Because when nobody, when, you know, when people didn't come to the shows as much for years, you kind of are in, like, honestly, it's kind of a sweet spot because you don't have to, the expectation isn't there. You have the ability to surprise people. You know, when you have a, when you're able to do

something and people don't know it, it must be like a magician. They know the person doesn't know the magic. They know the person didn't go to magic class or, you know, or fucking abracadabra camp or, you know, wasn't in like a trap house where one of the hookers or, you know, one of the drug dealers was fucking,

you know, pulling rabbits out of the hat and that. But it must be like a magician because they know they can do the trick. They know it's probably, they know how to do it and they know the person is going to be surprised. And that's what it used to seem like a lot at clubs. It was like, okay, you know, the shows weren't sold out and there weren't, and I was like, okay,

you know, I'm going to be able to surprise these people with my humor or with a story or with something that they don't know. And, and then now it's just a little different. Now I guess it's just more expect, it's more expectation. Like now they're here and they know that you can do it or they hope that you can do it.

So I guess it's just, it's just adjustment, you know? I mean, I'm just kind of trying to share just like candidly, like some of my fears and stuff, but it's just adjustment. You know, before it was like, okay, I, you know, I know that I can do this. I'm going to surprise them. It'll be a magic trick.

But now it's like, okay, they're, they're assuming that I'm going to be able to do this. And so now I have to be able to do it. And it's, and it's great. It's just different. It's just different. And then I saw, I guess I was worried when I was driving down there.

I was like, man, if I'm, what if sometime I'm feeling bad, I'm not, you know, and I don't get it all lined up and stuff and the show doesn't go as well. And I'll let people down. You know, and I know they say, you know, and we say it's not supposed to matter what other people think. And you know, and, and, and I'm sure that's one

of my character defects is wondering what people think a lot. Or, I mean, so much of my life, I was just living. I just needed to make people laugh so that I knew that they were okay with me. You know, because I think inside of me, I just, you know, I didn't like myself so much that I needed them to, I needed their approval

because it was the only place I got any approval was from just moments of strangers, just little pieces of just moments of approval that would just fly by like a shooting star man. Just there goes a little, there goes a little and I need more and I need more approval. I just, and I didn't think walk around thinking I needed it.

I just needed it. You know, it was like, you know, it was like part of my, I think approval is what makes up part of your, your comfort zone. And that approval a lot of times is, you know, your parents will teach you how, how to approve yourself or you will, you know, or someone at school will teach you

and when you don't get some of those lessons then you don't know. And so then you have to get it from extemporaneous places, from outsiders, bro, from straight up SE Hentons. You feel me? You got to get it from, you know, from this stranger or this person.

You have to get that approval. And you know, as much as it is that, that you want the approval, I think it now more is just that I want people to feel good. You know, I want to be able to make people happy and I want to be able to make people laugh. Man, they had a young guy came out and his son and his dad and the,

and they'd never been to a comedy show before. And that was so rare. We had a couple of vets come out, dude, 100% real vets, man. And they came out there and I didn't eat any of them because you guys know I had that instance at a Best Buy a few years ago, where I was snacked into that boy.

And his name was Ben, but that's because I was on a cleanse, on a cleanse. And I hadn't eaten anything in a while and God damn, brother, I'm gonna keep taking a good hard look at vets, but they are fucking damn near delectable, beautiful humans. So if I die, dude,

and a couple of other vets die with me, we all die together, you know? Maybe we're at like a prom, you know, like a viet prom and something happens there's a fire at the prom and we all die. Do bury me with them tasty vets, son. That's my squad. But I'm just, it's, sorry, I'm trying,

I'm getting on track, but, you know, if you get those pieces of approval, make you feel okay. And you have some people, you have it built in you, you don't have it built in you, then you have this. You have to find, you have to find moments that make you okay. Oh, I need some okay from over here, I need some okay.

Okay, I need this, okay, okay, okay. But now, yeah, it's not as much that as I just want to be able to be in a healthiest place, to be able to make the show good and make it fun for people. And also, I know that a lot of my audience is so understanding and cool and man, so many nice people, so many nice people.

A couple came out, they're about to have their third kid, that was beautiful. Somebody came out, their friend bailed on them and they still showed up. Man, that was nice, man, you know, I don't know if I would do that for people, but maybe now I will, you know, it's funny the things that I learned from even people

that come out to the shows. Pretty, you know, I'm just realizing I'm a pretty lucky guy to, you know, not only am I getting to have people come and listen to my art, but I'm getting to meet a lot of really neat people. So, just thank you, thank you to everyone that came out, thank you to the people I got to meet,

thank you to the people that I did not get to meet. And I hope to meet you next time. What else? I'll tell you this, man, this past weekend is brought to you by Skillshare. A lot of people don't have any skills, dude. Think about them, think about somebody right now. This dude I know named Kenneth, bro.

This is zero skills, dude. He used to be in his front yard all the time in a damn sleeping bag. And you'd go over there and wake him up or something. And he'd be in there eating little gummy worms or something. Because his daddy would restock those chips, those Tom's chips and stuff at the vending machines. You know, when a vending machine is basically

just a bunch of straight bullshit locked in a cage and you got to put money in there. And this boy would just be laying up and he's fucking lazy as fuck, man. And he'd be laying up in that sleeping bag and he'd always be eating extra little snacks his daddy had from the Tom's route. You know, maybe some snack of bugles

or some gummy worms or... Sometimes you'd see him fucking... He'd be having some Fritos, but also some gum at the same time. Like, what the fuck, bro? Dude, you need to read like an appetite chart or something. You need to know how a damn appetite stacks up. Because you can't be having fucking juicy fruit

barbecue chip going on in your mouth at once. That'll change how time works, man. You got to fucking shut that shit down. That's the dark arts, brother. But Skillshare is a place where you can get a skill. If you have a friend or neighbor or even yourself that's laying in a yard in a sleeping bag and snacking on gummies, then change your life.

So it's not locked out in maybe Eastern Europe, that Eastern Bloc. But we'll see.

But man, I'm a pretty lucky guy. And I don't mean to sound like I'm not lucky, I'm not grateful. And I notice sometimes I get kind of downer about stuff. But man, it's just been a wild ride. And this has just been a wild ride. And it's scary. It's exciting, but it's also really scary.

It's scary sometimes. Sometimes I put myself out there in some ways, even on this podcast and things. And then it's just, I don't know. It's okay, but it's just scary sometimes. And I don't know, life's sometimes just a little spooky, man. I mean, they call it life, but sometimes they should just call it Halloween.

Okay, let's get into some of you guys' calls right now. Here we go. Hey Theo, this is Red from Charleston. Hey, let me catch your name again, Cadetty, because I think I missed one of them salables, baby. Hey Theo, this is Red from Charleston. This is Red. All right, Red, onward.

South Carolina, the one that's going to the Navy. I just, I'll listen to your... Oh yeah, brother. You're going into the Navy. I remember that. And when is that happening? Let's hear more. The podcast where you played, where you played my message.

Sorry, man, you got me. You really got me tearing up, man. I leave tomorrow, so this today is Sunday, January 20th. I leave tomorrow, and it's just really hitting home now. And I'll, yeah, I want to look like a bitch on your podcast or anything, but... Bro, nobody could ever look like more of a bitch on this podcast than me, bro. Doug, that's sweet of you to say I want to hear more of your message, brother. Onward.

Just, man, you're so kind. Thank you for your words, man. And come January, I'll call back in. I'm going to listen, you know, I'll catch up on some messages that way. Don't walk a punk. And I'll definitely call you, man. I just want to thank you. That was a little bit a lot to me, man, but gang, gang, man.

Gang, gang, man. That's sweet of you to call, bro. That's really touching, man. You made me feel good. Or you made me feel something. I sometimes don't even know what it is, man. So you got me tearing up. So, yeah, you couldn't look like any more of a punk than me, man, because if one dude tears up, that's, you know, that's pretty regular.

But then the dude that tears up hearing the other dude tear up, that's that dude. I'm that dude right now. Well, that's nice of you to say that, man. You know, you know, I'm trying to think of what's got me kind of feeling a little bit of emote up, man. I think I'm happy to know that you know that people care, you know, and that someone cares. And I don't care that that person is me or that that person is our listeners or I'm just happy because I could tell in your voice that you seem like you know that. And when did he say you're leaving? I'm just happy.

Yeah. Well, let's call him and maybe I can. Yeah, I got this technology here. Let's call. Let's call big red man and see if he's going to fight for us. You know, we're going to, I mean, that's a big trip. That's brave too, man. I can imagine that.

Let's what am I sitting here imagining when we got freaking real technology? Let's hit him up right here. Here we got his number right here. We go. Hello. Hey, is red there? What's up? What's up playboys Theo?

Theo Vaughn? Yeah, player. What's up? Hey, dude, we just was listening to your call, man. And I just wanted to thank you so much for reaching out, bro. It was really, really nice of you. And you said that you're going today's the 21st. You're going into boot camp today.

I know I'm not a hotel that they sent us to before I'll leave tomorrow. I left my family today behind. I'm in the capital of South Carolina. Oh, nice, man. That's wild. You already said you goodbyes to the wife and kiddo, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

One of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life. Oh, man. I bet. And is it a daughter or a son? You got a daughter? I have a little girl. Yes, sir. Oh, wow.

How old is she? She's five. Oh. I'm real strong. This is crazy that you're following me. Oh, well, I appreciate you calling, man. It was nice. You know, you, you know, when you called last week and said, you know, that you were listening

to the podcast, it was just nice of you. And then you were like, yeah, your wife's going to keep you posted. And, um, yeah. And then you called back, man. It was just, it was just nice of you, bro. You know, I think it kind of embodies some of the stuff that we think about here a lot and stuff like that. So definitely.

Yeah. You're what you said about my message yesterday. It really had me. And I was in my emotions a lot yesterday and it really had me worked out. And I just wanted to tell you, thank you for that. It was extremely kind of you. Oh, that's nice. You just say, man.

I mean, look, nobody's, I mean, I've gotten in my motion so many times on this podcast, you know, I'm sure I'm on some fucking help lists and I'm on a lot of probably prayer lists and stuff like that. So, uh, nobody could out emo me on here, but, um, and plus I cried for about an hour in my car after the saints lost yesterday. So I watched that game. I thought about it. You actually, when I was watching it, I was thinking about you and Mr. Christ.

Sure. Cause I know he's an LA Rams fan. Oh yeah. What an asshole. Um, no, that's a good pair, man. Bert's an amazing guy. Uh, so tell me about, um, so tell me about why do you choose to go into the Navy? Like what's like some of the thoughts behind that?

Um, I wanted to, when I was 18, when I met my wife and due to, uh, education, I couldn't. I had just a GED and they, uh, May of last year, they called me and said that things had changed that with a GED, I was able, I was able to join. I just had to score a certain number on the ASBA to join and I made the number and I just lost the weight. I was about 250 pounds in May down to 190. Damn, bro. So I could be here today.

Dude, that sounds like a turkey, like a turkey to an owl, bro. Owls are real lean, you know, if you've ever had owl or not. No, I've never had owl or had turkey though. Yeah. Well owls, definitely more of a limited meat, but it's more, I mean, if dude, if you take the feathers off an owl, they look like they're ready to fucking fight, bro. So, um, they're pretty jacked. They look real Italian.

Owls might be Italian. Um, but dude, that's amazing, man. So you just decided you were going to get in there and when they called you back at first, were you, did you, like, were you excited? Were you considering it? Were you, were you know at first or what, what was that like? It was a, I told the guy that called me, I was like, I'm going to have to ask my wife. I can't go through this and not let her be involved with the, with the process.

And she supported me from the get go. You know, she knew it was going to be a struggle just with the weight and trying to manage, you know, a full-time job, losing weight and trying to make it here. You know, I'm here today and I'm glad of it. Dude, it's almost like, it's like a, like, yeah, with that weight loss. And then now you getting there. You must feel kind of proud of yourself too. I am.

And I'm also, I'm proud of, there's, there's 77 guys here today at this hotel with me. All from the Navy, just we're all over different branches and I'm glad to meet these guys. And I know you're talking to me because I called you, but these guys, they, you know, they didn't call nobody. They kept it in and I'm proud to know that I'm going to serve with these gentlemen that are in this hotel with me after today. That's cool, man. Dude, I love your attitude, bro.

You got a good attitude. I mean, I feel like you're going to do a lot of great stuff and I feel like, you know, probably this experience in there and just the boot camp and all that's just really only going to put you into, it's just going to be, you know, such structure and gasoline for you to really just achieve your dreams, man. I just, I don't know why I get that weird feeling, but I really do, bro. Thank you. Thank you.

Yeah, man. And, and yeah, was your wife, how was that? Was that, was that tough leaving? She was strong. She was strong up until today. Oh, there you go. Let me have my time yesterday. I said goodbye to my mom and my stepdad and, you know, the rest of my family yesterday

and it was just me and her today with my daughter. And she held it up until I got on the bus and said my goodbyes. That's when, that's really when it struck me, her and my daughter, who my daughter, she's five. She doesn't understand what's going on. I tell her that, hey, daddy's got a new job. He's going to be gone for a while. She doesn't understand that when I say gone for a while, it's two months with just letters,

no phone calls, no text messages. Aw. She's strong. She's a little girl, but she's tough as shit. They are, man. She'll be okay. She'll be okay for two months. Well, man, that's wild, man.

That's powerful. It's, you know, there's just a lot going on there. And that's, you know, even though it's separation and it's time away, it's just a lot of, you know, it just seems like a lot of like character building for all of you guys, even though it's probably really tough at this moment. Yes, sir. And at least they have each other, man, that's kind of a beautiful gift. Yes, sir.

We're from here. We're from Charleston, South Carolina, and all of our family's still here. So she's got, she's got a good support behind her. Yeah. And I have, I have it as well, just not in the physical aspect. You know, they're, they're with me, you know, in spirit, both her and my daughter and, you know, our entire family. And they've been, everybody's been real supportive right now.

Dude, that's cool, man. Well, I'm excited for your new adventure, man. I was thinking, you know, I was thinking, trying to think of something nice that we could do for you while you're... This phone call, honestly, is as nice as it can get. I promise you, this is, this is a, I wouldn't say a dream come true, but it is definitely a cool experience because I, I like you. I've liked your, my wife actually wanted to turn me on to you with your Netflix, you know,

your Netflix stand-up. Yeah. She turned me on to you and I was like, oh, well, you know, I heard you on Joe Rogan and I started following, you know, this past weekend and just, you know, everything comes to a head. And this is, you know... And here it is, bro. Yeah, this is awesome. Here it is, man.

Well, dude, it'd be great. Maybe one day in the future, you know, we can have you on as a guest to learn a little bit more about the military and what that bootcamp experience is like. That could be really interesting. And, but yeah, I'm trying to think, you know, I just really appreciate it, man. I feel like you, you know, you seem eloquent, you seem connected to yourself. I feel like you're going to have, you know, you're really going to do a lot of great things for your family and, and it's brave you to go in there, man.

You're a braver man than I for getting in there. It's just a will to do whatever it takes. That's what it's not bravery. You know, I'm scared. It's called me brave is, is, is ridiculous. I'm scared more than anything. Well, I'm not going to be cold. I'm not going to fly to Chicago tomorrow and that scares me more.

I've never been, I've never been in a cold like that. South Carolina. Yeah. You do. Where are you from? Folly or something would beat you from? Technically, I'd be closest to Isle of Palms. That'd be the closest beach and it's still maybe an hour away.

Well, dude, at the cold. Yeah, dude, the, well, look, your first enemy is the cold weather, bro. You better fucking get out there, son. It'll be all, it'll be all good though. Dude, you better stay there. Look, y'all, you, you ready? They already got you fighting. You about to go toe to toe with 32 degrees, you know.

It was 10 degrees this morning. I checked how old it was in Chicago. It was 10 degrees. Well, look, your first weapon to learn how to use mittens, bro. That's what it is. I brought, I bought some gloves. I never had a bike gloves. I bought gloves just to fly with me.

Dude, that's cool, man. It's just so many new experiences, man. It's new experiences. That's what you're doing. It sounds like, and you're making it, bro. You know, you're moving forward. You're making different choices, man. This is going to go by so fast and you're going to learn so much about yourself.

And I just, you know, I'm envious, man. I feel like this is going to be such a neat opportunity for you and your wife's relationship to grow stronger and stuff. And while you're gone, man, we'd love to help out. Dude, if it's okay with you, we'd love to, you know, send a gift certificate to your wife, maybe a $400 gift certificate to Target so they can just, you know, just some little odds and ends here and there while you're gone.

So they don't have to think about too much extra stuff, you know? She would love that because she loves Target. There you go, Doc. Well, there you go, boy. I'm a Walmart guy. I see the Target girl. Hey, man. Well, look, whatever gets y'all through it, bro.

Somehow y'all met in the middle, bro. Kmart. Yeah. That's so funny, man. I was going to say Kmart, but I didn't think, I know that they've gone out of business, but, but congrats, man. Congrats on your new experience, bro.

It's going to be exciting and we wish you the best. I really appreciate you sharing it with us and just, it was nice of you, man. I appreciate your nice words and your love for your family and your wife and your daughter just infectious, bro. And, you know, I think it makes a lot of our listeners just feel the value that they have in their own, in their own, in their own family. So thank you so much, bro. Thank you.

Yeah, man. And so I'll have our producer reach out on Nick and so that we can, you know, get that to your wife and kids and wife and daughter. And thank you for your service. You're more than welcome. Amen, bro. Gang gang be safe out there. Gang gang.

Peace, brother. Wow. Pretty cool. That's brave, man. That's brave, you know. I'm doing something new, but he's making it. You know, he's making it like a chain. Like, you know, he just is choosing to make a change and it'll be gone.

It'll be, it'll go so fast and then he'll be in a new place, in a new experience. And that's brave. I wish I'd have been able to do that. I had one more idea I was going to do as a gift for him, but maybe we'll wait and do it in the future. Oh, if we're able to have him in studio. I think I have somebody cool. It would be neat for him to meet.

Um, but wow, we've got some neat people that listen to this show. You know, people are living their lives and, uh, a message that's one thing about life and destiny and that it's like, no matter, you know, a huge, the saints lose and this happens and, you know, 11 senior citizens died and people's, you know, buying gas cans sneakily get it, you know, ahead of blue, blue chew them, rhino dick hitters and, you know, but the truth is that life goes on. The truth is that, you know, those rhino dick hitters, the truth is that life keeps going on and that today different things are happening and somebody's falling in love and somebody's,

you know, uh, someone is, um, you know, uh, getting a phone number of, uh, of someone I've been in love with for a while. Somebody is, uh, learning how to paint. Someone is going off to the military. Uh, someone's taking their last breath. Somebody is, um, somebody's forgiving somebody, uh, even though it's a really hard thing to do, you know, uh, you know, uh, in my life recently, I've had some, you know, I've, you know, been, you know, kind of forgiven, uh, and still loved by somebody that I wasn't

always the best to. And, and when people do that, man, it's just, uh, that's strikingly powerful. Let's take another call, man. Do we take another call? How are we going to go from here anywhere? We've really, we've done a lot already. Um, we're. Hey man, what's up?

It's, uh, Jonah Crosby. I'm a kind of news listener to, uh, the podcast down in Charleston, South Carolina. Okay, Jonah. Also in Charleston. Um, thank you for calling brother onward. I go to Citadel. It's a great school. You should, uh, maybe come do a show down there.

Who knows? I'd love to come to Citadel and you know, one thing that's interesting is, uh, now I used to live in Charleston and I worked on King street and I worked at a bar and I used to be a door boy, you know, out there bouncing and fucking, you know, just that t-shirt that you just see the bottom of that bicep, you know, and really those guys are just a bunch of bisexuals, you know, like if you see those door boys, a lot of times if you go look behind the edge of the building or the bar, you'll see a couple of them just rubbing their biceps against each other and that's bisexuality and that's, you know, and that's back in the

day when I was doing steroids and, you know, and just being bisexual and you catch me sometimes even at the gym, just sneaking up on some other man and just fucking just rub those biceps against each other and just fucking bicep each other, bad job. But anyhow, um, but one interesting thing that happens, I want people to know is, uh, the Citadel or the Citadel, as people call them different stuff because people, nobody knows how to really read or spell that great overall and that's the truth. People are only so good at it. But the Citadel does this thing where they're whole, they're whole, they're troops, um,

cause I believe they're a military preparatory academy and their troops will do a march where they go through the city of Charleston. It's really cool and they are an organized bunch and it's really, they have these gray uniforms and, um, and it was really cool to see it took you back to like, uh, uh, another time, another time in the world and it's a diverse group of men and they just cruise through the street and they're just, um, really, really awesome. It was a great, uh, it was a great thing to witness when I was there in Charleston was it just took you back, uh, you know, a hundred years in time, um, onward.

Let's take more. Anyway, um, last weekend this dude called in talking about how, uh, I think it was the guy from Charlotte talking about how it can issue if some girls talking to their ex-boyfriend and I don't kind of hit close to home cause one of my, one of my ex-girlfriends, uh, and I have a really good, like, friendly relationship. Like it's fully-played tonic. We've both moved on. We've both talked to other folks.

I have a girlfriend now, but, uh, there's nothing wrong with it, man. Like she and I help each other out if there's like something that needs to be done. And, uh, it's just a good friendly relationship. And I would just like to, uh, put that out there and say that, uh, I'm not, I'm not sure what this gentleman had experienced in his life, but, uh, it's really, it's really not that, not an issue all the time. You know what I mean? You know, I appreciate that.

And by this gentleman, you could even mean me. I think that was my kind of my point of view. You know, I thought, uh, that, you know, a man doesn't keep in touch with a woman for any real reason other than like a sexual reason, um, or that it's hard to really have a platonic friendship between the two where one doesn't have some sort of sexual inclination or gravitas towards the other. I want to touch titty or you know what I'm saying or tap nut, but yeah, man, I mean, you know, you got me thinking right now that maybe you're right.

Maybe times are changing where we are understanding more and we also have to go to different places to get the emotional connection that we need, especially now that, you know, families are a little bit more separated and, you know, with two parents working and, you know, not as much connection between a lot of families anymore relationships and, you know, divorce and that sort of thing. I think, yeah, I think you're, you really make me think of something important that, you know, maybe now more than ever, it is, it is maybe more common to have just a friend who has, uh, of the other sex.

But also, dog, I'll say it is, man, you know, sometimes you might want to fuck your friend. That's the only thing, you know, that's the thing. That's the thing. And if you're, and if you say, if you have a, if you have a friend and your girlfriend, if that friend is a man, then your wife or girlfriend might not be upset because they are not thinking, then if you guys do want to fuck, y'all have to be gay for a little while. You have to be gay for a little while to do sex with each other and you got to come back

to your spouse and not be gay. So they're thinking, then there's at least that, that, that hurdle there, that, that, that, that, um, you have to, that you have to go over that ravine of choice where you're saying, okay, I'm a gay out, you know, I'm going to be wild and experience some of the things that I want to, you know, maybe these dark, you know, these darker edges of myself or these wilder edges and I don't mean darker, like it's negative. But these, you know, you, you know, you only get fancy and touchy and tapping up with your buddy.

So you have that, you have to go through that you have to, you have to, you have to, you know, you have to be bisexual, brother, you know what I'm saying? You have to get bi-sexy, but, but if you, if your friend is a girl, then your wife's just like, oh, fuck man. You don't have to, you know, your wife already knows that you do sex with women because you do it with her and so the fear could be there. Um, but yeah, I mean, it is also a time where we go to different places to get different feelings where I think a lot of them used to come straight from like the, you know, the

familial space and I'm just guesstimating, but when families were closer and they, you know, needed each other more and there wasn't as much outside influence from the world and technology and, you know, families had farms and they needed to tend to their crops and do all that kind of stuff together and you had that tribal vibe, you know, that Sebastian Younger talks about when you had that old school, you got different emotions from different places and it was all so close together in your source of family. And now maybe you have to go door to door these days to get the love and affection and emotion or little pieces of everything that you need.

Thank you for calling, man. And with that other point of view, let's take another call here. Here we go. Yo, what's up to you? Um, I don't even know if I want to say my name is, um, I'm in New York area. What's up, Poppy? Thank you for calling from New York, man, and, uh, and I love New York. You know, I have dreams and times that if I could live another life, I would live over

there in New York somewhere, you know, and just be, uh, just inundated with the, the, the vibe that's there. But uh, enough about me, Omer. You know, my, my, I just look for no inspiration, you know, my, uh, my condom's going to prison. He just went yesterday for seven years. You know, it's tough. Fuck him. Me and him, you know, we live the same lifestyle, you know, it's, this whole court has been

just opened up my eyes, you know, makes me want to turn my life around, you know, um, I mean, I just need some words of inspiration. I really want to do this, you know, if it's going straight now, it'll be a past training citizen, you know, uh, gang, gang, gang, man, man, uh, thanks for calling, man. You know, that's nice of you to call, bro. Um, yeah, I'm sorry that you're dealing with that. I'm sorry that your cousin is going through that, uh, I don't know if he's, you know, if you're able to talk to him.

I bet it's scary for him, even if he doesn't want to talk about it or admit it. You know, so now when we, when we, when we're tough, we don't, we can't, you know, we can't even access the fact that we're scared, uh, man. And I bet if you could be tough in being like a lifestyle like that, I bet, I bet you could help so many younger dudes and keep them from getting in, you know, in the like, uh, you know, in the harm's way or, or I bet you could help so many younger guys who don't have like, uh, a brotherly figure, you know, or who don't have like a cousin or don't have like a male role model, you know, I bet you could, you know, I don't know you, but I bet

you could, man. I mean, it sounds like if you kick, if you can care about your cousin that much, you know, but there's a lot of little dudes out there who don't have that, you know, or a lot of young bucks who just need somebody, you know, it just sounds like. Like, if you can care about somebody like him, then I bet you could care about a lot of people and it would just give you a lot of purpose then, you know, there's so much power and like helping others and, uh, and you deserve it, dude. You know, you're a good, you know, I don't even know you, man, but I know that you're

probably a good person and I know that, you know, people love you, bro. You know, I don't know what your family's like. I don't know if you have parents or whatever, but I don't know if you're close with them or whatever, but I bet they really, really loved you. I bet they really do. Even if they can't even show you sometimes, you know, I think there's this burden that we have as humans, sometimes we're just unable to show people that we care. It's crazy.

You know, we have so much feelings inside, but sometimes it's so hard for it to get out of us into, into the world. But I bet you have a lot of people that really love you, bro. And, uh, and if you, you know, 12 step program is stuff that helped me, damn it. Sorry, dog. That's your cousin's parole officer. He just got out. I'm just joking, bro.

Sorry. That was fucked up, man. That was fucked up, but I just wanted to make, try and make you laugh. Uh, but yeah, man, you can, you can, you know, a 12 step program helped me. I didn't think there was any, I didn't think there were ways that I was ever going to feel better that I could change my situation and I could have a different insight to myself. Dude, even talking about this stuff with you right now, man, I never thought I would be fucking thinking about this kind of stuff ever.

Like my brain did not work this way. You know, I didn't have the capacity like I would say that I cared about myself, but I didn't ever feel it. And then I got into some 12 step and recovery help and that should change my life. You know, and it still changes my life. And here's the thing. I haven't even made it through the fucking steps. The simple fact that I have places to go all the time where other people who are brave

enough to try and, you know, take on stuff in their life that we're there together, uh, it makes me feel less alone. You know, and that must be something you're probably feeling too. If your cousin's going away, I bet you're probably, you know, worried that you're going to be kind of alone, you know, but dude, you can't be alone in this place, man. You go to a couple of AA meetings to see the vibe, talk to some fuckers, bro. They got real deals in there to murderers, bruh, uh, jugglers, people that could fucking juggle magicians, dude, dark artists, dude, but they're all fucking now they're tightened

up and it's a real special time. But look, man, I love you, man. And, uh, and I'm sorry to hear about your cousin. And I hope that the experience that he has in there is just, is very valuable. And I hope that, uh, you guys, the next time you guys see each other, uh, that you're both in a, in, in much better places. And I bet that you can be, I bet you can be, man, it might be hard to see that you can be, but you're going to have to make, you're going to have to take action.

You know, nothing changes if nothing changes. It just doesn't. And you sound like a powerful person. So I bet you could really affect some change in yourself. And then, and then in others, man, and the joy you get from that, bro, fuck, you might turn into a rocket ship, bitch. We might see you on Mars, dog. You'll get gassed up from feeling that, um, oh, you know, I'm going to take one more

call here and, uh, and I didn't mean for this episode to be kind of heavy or whatever. But, you know, we got a, we got a lot of great calls, but we'll get into some more of them. Let's take one right here, man. Gang gang, man. What's up, Theo? This is Luis from Oregon, Salem, cap of the city. I'm watching this past weekend right now. What's up gang gang, Luis, and thank you for calling Papa on work.

And all I got to say is that you, you give me so much inspiration. I don't know. Uh, but I'm like, I have an addiction right now, a cocaine addiction, you know, and you're talking the morning. Oh, it's three o'clock in the morning. Wow, man. Well, thanks for calling, dude. Um, you know, I appreciate you calling onward.

I don't have any vest though, but, dude, somebody brought me a vest in, uh, in Irvine this weekend. It's a nice one too. It's like a winter time one. This thing feel like you have other vests in it, like it, like, like it's like a vest, but it ate a couple of little vests, you know, and this, and this, you know, just, you know, had, it's just warmer more, you know, just, I don't know how'd you get over it, how'd you get over your cocaine addiction because I look up to you, man, uh, man, gang, gang,

you don't have a good day gang, gang, bro. Yeah, man. Look, here's the thing. Only, you know, if you have a problem, you know, only, you know, that I can't, you know, I don't know if you do, uh, but you do. You know if you do or not. And how I got over it. I mean, I'll just tap right back into what I was talking about it.

I mean, I'm not over it, but I fight that bitch. You know, I, uh, I don't do it. I haven't done it for two and a half years and I like that dusty, dusty, you know, I like to fucking get that. Yeah, dog, I like that fucking white semi truck fucking driving straight to my brain. You know what I'm saying, boy, Columbia, I like them dark arts at dark arts does daddy. Uh, sorry, uh, but I went out. He did.

I just went to a meeting and I heard someone talk about how they felt and why they were not doing well. And somebody told me that then I was an okay person and then I wasn't going to be addicted to cocaine forever. And man, I don't even know if I was having that much of a problem with it, to be honest with you, but that could also be the addict in my head talking, but I was having a problem with myself. I was having a problem with myself when I was there at 7am, you know, having to cancel

whatever I was supposed to do that day and I'm just in my apartment just like looking at pornography and, you know, I can't even touch myself anymore because I done touched myself, you know, and I got that soft balls just laying on my stomach and I've had that adult penis since childhood and you know that. So, you know, I got that big, that beach fucking armadillo just laying on my stomach and, uh, you know, I would just be sick of myself and I'd be afraid to go to sleep because I thought I would die because I was fucked up and I used to write wills out to my mother. I'd write a will help, you know, and I'd put it by the bed in case something happened to

me, uh, because I didn't want her, you know, I didn't want to be thinking about myself when I died, you know, um, but, but I went into a 12 step meeting, man. I went to a couple of meetings. I went to a speaker meeting. They have CA and NA meetings and, uh, and you can find them in Oregon and we'll put the link today on our YouTube episode, um, to the Oregon AA and CA, uh, meetings. There's an app you can get on your phone. I'm going to show it to the camera right now and it is called meeting guide.

And, uh, let me see real quick, I'm going to show it to the phones. You can get a good look at it and this is what it looks like, man. This meeting guide, um, and we'll have my, uh, producer Nick put it in premature Nick and, um, and it helps the meeting guide app just lets you know where a meeting is in location to where you are. Now, it doesn't work in every city, but it works in a lot of them and, and do you know what for me, I had never knew that there was a world out there that felt more comfortable. I never knew it.

I didn't know it existed, man. The way I related to the world was not the way the world really was. I thought the world was a and the world was B, but I was living like it was a imagine if you think you at the beach, but really you're downtown. So imagine you see a guy downtown and he's got on his sandals and he's putting on sunscreen and he's putting a lawn chair out on six avenue in, you know, downtown. You're like, what the fuck? This dude's something.

He doesn't get it. He doesn't realize he's not at the beach. That was me. I was the dude. I thought I was, I thought I was at the beach, but because I thought the world was this bit, but the world was downtown. The world was something different and I was interacting differently and it started to change once I went to those meetings and I just felt better, bro.

You know, there's nothing worse than the, the come down off a cocaine and it feels good to know that I go to bed at night and that I'm, that I know I'm going to wake up exactly how I went to sleep, that I know I'm going to wake up exactly how I went to sleep, man. For me, that's good. Now, look, if you, if, if, but if you still partying out there, you want to do that dust and you want to fucking let that brain donkey loose inside of yourself, fuck, I'll hold the back of your neck while you do that long line. You know, I'll hold your fucking back of your neck while you're doing that fucking,

you know, that ivory little booty lizard, bro. You know, and I might be out there again. I'm not saying that I'm a mute, that I'm, you know, I'm human and here we are. But you can have a new experience though. I will say that, man. You could have a new experience. So if you really do think you have a problem, I think it's worth checking out, but we'll put those links in a bio for you.

All right. Let's do this one last call here. Here we go. Hi, my name is Tyler Price. I'm from Dallas, Texas. I heard you guys were doing something special for a single single mothers in Addison, Texas. Yeah. I'll be down there this weekend, Tyler, I'll be down there and the shows are sold out

down there in Addison and Dallas. We're not going to be adding any more shows this time. But thank you very much for calling in. We are going to be doing something special for a single mom. What's happening, Cat Daddy? I have a long time friend of mine. She's a friend of mine. She has three children.

She lives in Addison. Her name is Jennifer. Okay. You have a long time friend. And listen to him. He said a friend. He didn't say, you know, you know, somebody he trying to, you know, you know, let their bodies pontificate each other or do that or do that touchy.

He said a friend. So, you know, there is possibility for some friendship and where we get it these days. Or sometimes here's an example of a possibility. But anyway, I don't mean to interrupt your vibe. Yes, we do. Onward. One of her children was accused of something really serious and was recently convicted. I'm pretty sure that that child was 13 years old.

He's the oldest of her three children. She's a single mother. She works at a firestone. Oh, gang, man. I used to put them fucking F stones in my car, bro. I used to put them F stones in my car. Um, man, that's got to be tough then. I bet it's tough for her as a mother to see a 13 year old get caught up into something

and end up in a tough spot. I can't imagine how you navigate that. That's a that's a nice submission onward. And I don't know what you guys were willing to do to help single mothers in Addison, Texas. But if I know anybody that could really use the help, it would be her. Okay, cool. Um, awesome. Thank you so much for that submission, man.

That's really sweet of you and, uh, and we will, uh, we will see what we can do for that young lady, um, or older. I have no idea what age she is, but we will see what we can do for her and thank you for nominating her. Um, as always, you can nominate single moms for, um, select cities. I know that the next one we're going to do is, uh, you know, Ohio and Columbus and the numbers nine, eight, five, six, six, four, nine, five, zero, three. As well.

That is the hotline. If there's, uh, you know, if you're struggling with something or thinking about something or you have a response to something I've spoken about during the podcast, you can feel free to include it there and we can't get back to all of them. We can't put all of them on the show. Um, there's a lot, man. I mean, there's, there's hundreds each week, hundreds each week. And, uh, and I want to take this moment too to say, you know, I get a lot of people that

messaged me, um, through different apps on social media and I appreciate it and that's fine. And there, and, and, and some of them I try to reply to and some of them I can't it. It's not that I don't want to. It's that if I just replied to everyone, I would, uh, I wouldn't have it. I would have no, I wouldn't be able to eat or drink or do anything. I would have no, uh, I just wouldn't be able to do that. Um, because I don't have, uh, I just can't do it.

Uh, I don't have the, I don't hate to say I don't have the time. Um, but I don't, uh, yeah, I would never, I would not leave my house because there's a lot. Uh, and I'm not bragging about that. I'm just saying, I wish there was a way that I could do it and just don't take it personally. Please, if I have been unable to do that, you know, uh, I just don't want you to think that I don't care. Um, but man, the fucking referees, bro, can you believe that shit?

Can you believe the fucking referees? You know, a lot goes on in the world, man. There's a big story. You know, we look at the little pieces and we, you know, don't get caught in that. That game. Don't get caught in the micro, man. That's what I think. There's a big story.

You know, someone's kind of being an ass to you asking what, Hey, what's going on, man? You know, why are you, are you having to tell what's going on? You know, the only way that things will get better, I don't think the world's a bad place. The only way that it gets better is by us. We're the elements, man. We're the atoms. We're the atoms, bro. And you know, unless, you know, we can be on a real nucleic rise, daddy, but thank you

guys for your time, man. I, I'm going to go get something to eat because I haven't even eaten today, but I'm excited and thank you. I'm sorry that the episode was up late. Sometimes this will occur though. We had just a lot of shows. Thank you for everybody that came out last weekend. Oh, look at this new shirt.

You can see it. It's on the YouTube's, the road to the strap goes through the rat. And this is a beautiful shirt and we're selling this at a fair price online, the ovan.com slash store. We have three new shirts on there that are really, and it has the emblem on the back. So pretty neat, man. I'm happy to have one. The guy mailed me one.

So that's pretty cool. Thank you guys so much for everything. Thank you for submitting a single mom, you know, and good luck to our boy heading out over there in a basic training and just for sharing, you know, an experience that some of us didn't have, you know, just for sharing it, you know, and for trying something new and for being brave, man, we fucking, you know, we're not giving up, man. We're not giving up. And you know what?

I got the perfect song to take us out here. My boys down there from Natchez, Mississippi, there's a different hit of theirs and one that I really love and one that I just think is kind of fitting that some of the calls don't go your way. But some of the big picture of the story, the story might be going your way, you know, the game might be going your way and we could stay out of our own way. But just going with the flow sometimes. Make it easy, you know, know when you're, when you're making, fuck, I don't know.

I don't know anything, man, but fuck, I'm sorry. Sometimes I get caught in this weird space where I feel like I know something, but I don't. And you know what? I don't really want to know anything. I don't want to know anything at all, man, because I might miss the opportunity to learn something new. You guys be good, man.

I love you, and this is a song 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, and I still get where I'm bound to go, I'm making it, I'm making wrong feel right, I'm making it, I'm making it. And most all of my plans slip right through my hands and walk up next to me broken on If this bottle was an hourglass, I'd say that I'm about an hour past the minute I should've put it down

But I'm makin' it, I'm makin' long feel right I'm makin' it, and it helps where I'm gettin' there I'm makin' good time I'm makin' good time I'm makin' good time
