When the doorbell rings, it could be anything. It could be your real dad, your real sister, a pedophile, your spouse, a stranger, your friends, your significant other, a complete stranger. Who knows what could be waiting on the other side of the door?
00:09:07.780But North Mississippi All-Stars, okay, right here they're going to be in Florida on April 9th, Utah on April 23rd, and then in New Orleans May 1st.

00:09:51.740Dude, is it just me or does everybody in every commercial now have just, you know, they got a one-legged person in it?
00:09:59.600You know what I'm, like, I feel like every commercial recently, they really, they trying to wrangle in, I guess, they're catering to, I just, they got a lot of people that's, they missing, you know, they down a leg or whatever.
00:10:17.860I feel like every commercial, I turn around like, damn, they missed that kid missing a leg, the mother, you know?
00:10:27.360Maybe it's just something I'm noticing.
00:10:28.980It's just like, damn, they got to, this country, we got to start getting legs for people, bro, overall.
00:10:35.420Well, you know, when I grew up, people had, you know, most people had two legs on them.
00:10:42.440And now, I guess according to advertising, they trying to, you know, they, I guess they don't.
00:10:48.740But, so, anyway, yeah, but yeah, I went to the Super Bowl, bro, and it was, I got it, so this whole experience, this was crazy.
00:11:01.620So, Todd Graves came on the podcast a while back, a few months back, and he's the Canes Chicken Man.
00:11:09.440And this fella, damn, he'll take a chicken and shape it into just a damn little, it looked like a little, like a little isthmus of chicken, the way he does it.
00:11:22.520And we'll put one on the screen here, so you can see, he make like a little, it almost looks like a little, let me look at famous islands, island shapes.
00:11:33.300Yes, he make a famous island shape, it kind of looks like, let me find one here.
00:11:44.100He make a chicken looks like a Mamatik Island.
00:11:53.080He makes a chicken look like a Mamatik Island, or Molokini in Hawaii.
00:11:57.500He got a real, they make a chicken, it's not a nugget.
00:12:01.140But, it's like a Nugget's daddy, if a Nugget's granddaddy showed up, you were like, damn, his granddaddy's here.
00:12:08.780That's what the Canes Chicken Finger looks like, it's just like a little, it looks like a damn somebody grill, deep fried a harmonica kind of.
00:12:18.860That's what it is, baby, you put your lips up to that thing, man, God, you could hear your freaking, you could hear your stomach just play a damn hymn off that bitch.
00:12:28.660I bet if you blew into a damn chicken finger, that one of them Canes Chicken Finger, that bitch, man, you play, ooh, I bet a damn unicorn will run up if they hear the right note.
00:12:42.020I just, they got a beautiful chicken anyway.
00:12:44.300Anyway, so I get invited, my friend Cam invites me, and I show up over at Beverly Hills Hotel, I think.
00:12:54.680And it's nice over there, this is the place where Conor McGregor, where he, you know, bought steroids or whatever, I don't know, this is, but this is, you know, he had been staying over there.
00:13:04.980There, it's nice, they got rich people in there, I mean, it's, dude, you, if you just ran up and punched somebody in that bitch, there's a good chance that person probably would be really rich.
00:13:20.060It's that kind of space, you know, they got somebody in there, somebody in there drops $30, they don't even pick it up, it's 90 days, they cruising.
00:13:30.960So anyway, we get there, and this is a real, I'm going to name drop, this is, I mean, it was just a wild day.
00:13:38.360They had, I get there, Coach Orgeron is there, and a beautiful fella, if you've never seen him, he's like a damn Italian, he looks like an Italian, he kind of like, I don't know if he's Italian, is he?
00:13:53.140Yeah, he might be, I don't know, he looked like a beautiful, some type of a dog, like an American bulldog or something, he just, and he's real grizzled up, he's got that, you know, go Tigers, you know, he has that, he's just grizzled up.
00:14:09.380So the coach is there, that coach, Joe Burrow, in the deal, in the college championship, I walk in, there's like, Nelly is there, you know, and Nelly, I grew up, I mean, I put, dude, Nelly gave a lot of white dudes hope.
00:14:34.380Real talk, real talk, when, a lot of white dudes knew we couldn't dance, we knew it was impossible, we knew, we suspected, I think, that God didn't want us to do it.
00:14:49.880But, you know, you just, and then Nelly came along, and you're like, damn, bro, God wants, maybe does, God is willing to reconsider.
00:15:01.640When Nelly hit, it just, it hit, it hit.
00:15:07.360So you got Coach O, you got Nelly, you got Mike Thomas, probably one of my favorite players from national football.
00:15:15.300You got, I mean, just a real, dude, I can't, there's, I don't even know where to go with this, let me think.
00:15:24.440It was just such a crazy thing, so suddenly I'm in there, bro, and all, you know, I get nervous sometimes around a lot of celebrities, I get nervous.
00:15:31.640So all I can see is the food, suddenly I'm just looking at the food, and I'm over there, you know, I'm picking up food and setting it back down, like a catch and release program or whatever, like they do in the nature, you know.
00:15:50.200I'm over there, I don't know what's going on, I'm, you know, I'm looking at stuff, I'm making weird conversations, asking people, like, about the recipe or something.
00:15:58.060I put a plate with four deviled eggs on it, and I don't even like those bitches.
00:16:01.780So now I'm wandering around with these deviled eggs, you know, looking like a real creep, and I didn't want them, and there wasn't a lot of table area.
00:16:12.380So I couldn't, that's what I hate if you're at a party or some type of mingling event, and you can't set down your devil, there's nowhere to set the, you know.
00:16:21.820So you're just wandering around with these deviled eggs, you know, like you're looking for a, you know, like you, like you got Beelzebub's uterus on a little plate or something.
00:16:32.520You're working, you know, you're working in, what's it called, gestation or something for Satan.
00:16:40.540You're juggling gestation on that little plate, because you got them D-eggs on you, bro.
00:16:46.540You got them little, them little hen rubies, baby, you know.
00:16:53.220Anyway, so I don't even know who, there's just a, it's a crazy group of people that's in there.
00:16:58.300So I, some of my friends introduced me to Mike Thomas, so I get to start talking to him, just talking about saints and stuff like that.
00:18:17.740Um, another, uh, some lady I didn't know.
00:18:22.220And some guy from Keeping Up with the Kardashians that had kept getting his kind of face remodeled, you know.
00:18:28.940Um, anyway, we're in this, we're in this van and they got a police escort.
00:18:35.960So, dude, this shit feels like, I mean, it's fancy, you know, it's crazy.
00:18:40.900You know, I'm in there, I'm just sitting in there, enjoying myself.
00:18:45.620Next thing you know, we get all the way up to the L, to the, to the stadium, to the SoFi Stadium.
00:18:51.700And one thing that was rough, you could, from every angle you came in from the stadium, I didn't feel like you could see the stadium well.
00:18:58.040There was no, like, good angle to see it.
00:19:02.960They had so many fences up, like, trying to block COVID and shit.
00:19:06.540You know, it's LA, so they got all of these, they got people out there with shields trying to keep COVID out and just, just ridiculous, you know.
00:19:15.920Uh, a lot of ridiculous shit out there.
00:19:21.640Um, and so you couldn't really see the stadium, that was weird.
00:19:26.860Well, we got lost, our group got separated from, uh, we got separated from everybody.
00:28:52.620You know, especially these days, all the commercials, even people with one leg are doing triathlon.
00:28:58.740You'll see somebody with one leg going, uh, beating their children now where before that, you know, that kind of thing was reserved for somebody that was fully legged and now they doing whatever everybody's got, you know, you see a one arm person out there doing, um, you know, doing, uh, doing a chili, cooking a chili and stirring the chili with, um, that hook, you know, just hooking out that meat sauce.
00:29:26.540And it's just, that's the, where the world is.
00:29:30.820So what I'm saying is you got to keep things fresh with your fitness.
00:29:34.560And the way to do that is to stay motivated and keep from burning out and doing the same thing.
00:29:41.060You know, maybe you've been just doing running.
00:29:43.300Maybe you need to do a little bit of archery.
00:29:45.600Maybe you need to do, uh, you know, uh, do some pickleball or something like that, or just throw a heavy pickle back and forth with your cousin.
00:29:56.920But Peloton is pushing you further with so much new stuff on the Peloton bike and Peloton bike plus.
00:30:06.820They have new classes, new music, new ways to keep your workouts fun and motivating.
00:30:13.100Uh, one thing they do have now with Peloton is boxing.
00:30:15.680They got like, uh, on the app, uh, they got ways you can box.
00:37:44.420And it was funny because once everybody kind of became stranded, nobody was like a, nobody, like none of like the celebrity people seemed like celebrities anymore.
00:37:54.540They just, everybody just kind of seemed just like, just pretty regular.
00:37:59.240You know, it was like once every, yeah, I don't know.
00:38:09.020Once, once we were all just kind of stranded, it was just like, it was almost like when the power went out when you were young and you just, you'd all have to come together and just be around, you know.
00:38:21.980You'd all have to come together and just be around each other.
00:38:24.780When the power went out because you kind of needed each other.
00:39:51.220And then you go in and it's just a flood of the past.
00:39:55.620It's like the yellow that was kind of, the yellow was a little bit stolen by the minions, kind of.
00:40:02.120They kind of took that blockbuster yellow.
00:40:05.800Um, and it was just like the wooden, like, uh, the kind of prefab kind of wooden, uh, there was like, you know what I'm talking about?
00:40:22.480The wood, the paneling type of wood, you know, or it wasn't paneling.
00:40:26.280It was like these, like, it was like kind of plywood, I think, but it had like this like laminate over it.
00:40:33.040And, and you just saw the movie, you saw the thing, dramas, television, uh, television was a section and it was just on DVD or see, I don't even know what the, what format it was on in there.
00:44:06.940It was definitely, I just felt strongly like, man, I miss having the choice.
00:44:10.820As opposed to what it feels like now more is that it gets, it kind of gets chosen for you.
00:44:17.580You don't, it doesn't really, but the screen is just, you know, it's just such a small screen that they, they're going to, they hit you with it enough.
00:44:33.780The new releases and the Pete, the workers are up there and they're like doing the little thing where they take the thing off and make sure nobody's stealing and shit.
01:00:45.660And I was like, no, I just want you to fucking look at, like, just listen to me or hold me or cry or show some kind of semblance of emotion.
01:00:55.560Like, don't try to patch this up with food or alcohol, you know?
01:01:01.320So just to say, like, a lot of us have had this experience realizing that our parents couldn't have this open emotional awareness with us.
01:01:12.880And it's a really shitty thing to realize.
01:01:16.380And I think it's kind of like the equivalent of grieving a death.
01:01:21.180Like, what you might be going through is some kind of grief for something that you didn't receive in childhood that you needed and didn't have the words to express or know that you needed at the time.
01:01:58.880A lot of us, when people, we, we, well, there's a couple of things.
01:02:08.920For one, we tend to, yeah, when people, there's so many things that can distract us from our feelings now.
01:02:13.560There's so many, just so many things that can just, you have a feeling, you reach for a phone, you reach for a cigarette, you reach for a video game, you reach anything to not have this kind of human experience.
01:02:33.560And I don't know how we stop that, especially now with phones.
01:03:47.640We're at such a place in the world, especially in, like, this capitalist country of America,
01:03:53.020America, where, where we're all kind of so satiated, and there's so much less for us to do physically a lot of times that we're fucking sitting around here, you know, I'm sitting around here, you know, sunbathing in my feelings.
01:04:15.520You know, literally just sitting here eating, feeling soup.
01:04:20.380It's like I'm just, and I'm not knocking it.
01:04:24.720I'm not, but I think a lot of our parents are from a different generation, different time.
01:04:29.520You know, where things still needed to be done with the daily routine and the responsibility and like, you know, people used to have kids because they needed them to help on the farm.
01:04:44.900That's a few generations ago, but it's not that, you know, it was just a different, you would lose more kids in childbirth.
01:04:52.280It was just, there was a lot more, uh, things were more industrial in some ways.
01:04:59.480I think nature and the reality of things was a lot closer because there weren't so many things to separate you.
01:05:16.520And, and people used to get sick and die more.
01:05:21.860There was a reality, there was just a reality was so right there.
01:05:25.100Um, and now it's like everywhere, you know, there's a medicine for everything.
01:05:34.120Everybody stays alive till, you know, we live in longer.
01:05:38.940So there's some semblance of that, you know, we all have these desk jobs where we're sitting here looking at ourselves and looking at feedback.
