00:01:27.860
I'm happy to be just, you know, sitting here anecdoting with you.
00:01:31.820
And just being in your ears, just, you know, creeping my way into your brain, I'm happy.
00:01:52.080
You know, I got an ice bath and this company called Blue Cube, they make them.
00:02:01.140
You know, I feel real fortunate to have it because I need it.
00:02:21.300
It's just like a bunch of damn lights just fucking you.
00:02:29.340
You see people, you know, people, you know, you see a kid running through the playground.
00:02:55.340
A strong piece of sun hit them and they lose an eyebrow.
00:03:00.280
Somebody, Mr. Ronnie, showing up to work, half a mustache.
00:03:10.660
And I'm not talking about Sugar Ray Leonard or Sugar Ray the band who was all right.
00:03:35.440
I couldn't even touch the, I couldn't touch anything.
00:03:50.540
And God forbid you still have those metal plug-ins for your, um, uh, seat thing that you're, you're, you're, you, you, you, you're out of work now.
00:04:15.860
There's just, I mean, the sun, it's just fucking looking for people.
00:04:59.520
You know, you see a, uh, a cat run through a puddle and burn his damn, burn the hair off his legs.
00:05:08.080
You see a, you know, you see a bird take two sips out of a bird bath and fucking just fall over.
00:05:24.820
And I, you know, I just, I don't know how to stop it.
00:05:32.200
You know, you can do prayer, you can do umbrellas.
00:05:36.440
But name, you know, you almost got to write a damn hymn on the outside of an umbrella to even get a little respite from the heat.
00:05:50.380
I walk to, I feel like a damn TV dinner halfway through the yard.
00:06:04.500
And then I start hearing, oh, you a little bitch.
00:06:08.400
You, this shit is, this, this heat is for real.
00:06:45.420
People say that it's, you know, global warming.
00:06:51.900
And, you know, it's tough to know exactly what Mother Nature has planned.
00:07:02.200
That's when Mother Nature, they had so much meat running around in the world.
00:07:06.360
Mother Nature said, damn, I'm going to save some.
00:07:16.940
I mean, hell, you go up with a good pickaxe and a George Foreman grill and a knife and fork up through the Antarctica.
00:07:40.900
Somebody yesterday mentioned the gas prices to me.
00:07:53.700
I don't care how, I don't care if that shit is 40 cents a gallon, bitch.
00:08:01.540
Dude, you try to fill your car up, you fucking damn.
00:08:19.700
People want gasoline, but you out of your mind.
00:08:40.900
If you believe in news, and that's okay if you do not.
00:08:45.860
That bees, bees, bumblebees, baby, God's little hit men are ejaculating themselves to death in heat waves.
00:08:56.740
Bees across Europe may die from the severe heat plaguing the continent this week, ejaculating explosively as they do.
00:09:09.340
A doctor said, we don't know exactly why, but drones ejaculate when they get too stressed.
00:09:20.400
Ejaculation kills them because it basically eviscerates their abdomen.
00:09:46.340
When bees are ejaculating and dying because of the heat.
00:09:53.520
Too much heat, you know, and the bee, they bust out and just eviscerate into the universe.
00:10:02.500
When animals' nuts is busting because of the heat.
00:10:07.220
When the heat just got these little insects, just sun coming.
00:11:09.560
People getting damn, just heat aids on their face.
00:11:15.540
Because the sun just, just done, done, done, just damn got them.
00:11:22.540
Just, just, you know, bees are flying by and just, damn, just skeeting out, blowing up.
00:12:33.600
When the mayor came and said to me, you're on a karma.
00:12:43.260
Between you and me, we got so much lovin' and chemistry.
00:13:08.780
And I like the young man that makes that music there.
00:13:40.800
I've been doing a lot of things like that recently.
00:13:47.740
I feel fortunate enough to be able to afford that.
00:13:56.740
It has been helping me to a level I can't even explain.
00:14:29.440
And a lot of my energy, which was just whirling around in my head.
00:14:47.780
You know, I think a long time ago, as human beings, we had to use our senses.
00:14:57.660
You know, if you walked out into the woods, there's a lion, possibly.
00:15:02.440
And you might hear a damn little warbler in the distance.
00:15:20.260
But you'd have to be aware of your surroundings.
00:15:23.380
Yet, you know, all your feelings were outside of you.
00:15:35.800
So all of our feelings used to be outside of us.
00:15:46.560
Society, especially in America, we got into more like...
00:16:06.320
All of our senses, we haven't used them like that in a long time.
00:16:10.840
So now, my sense is, I feel like a lot of times, they go...
00:16:31.860
They're still looking for something that's uncomfortable or dangerous or alarming.
00:16:36.380
And so, that's where I feel like a lot of our mental health is now.
00:16:50.340
To survive, we don't need them outside of us anymore.
00:16:55.720
So now, those senses, they're lurking around inside of me looking for lions.
00:17:06.360
Unless I'm some kind of damn centaur or something, there is no lions in me.
00:17:17.720
You know, anything that's a little spooky, it finds, like, things from my past or fears.
00:17:26.740
It finds some trouble, but it makes it feel like it's a lion, you know?
00:17:32.800
I don't know if that makes any sense, but to me, part of it does.
00:17:39.760
All those senses we used to use need to survive.
00:17:44.520
Because we're wandering around in a world in the open.
00:17:51.560
Having to go into caves and see if it was safe to sleep.
00:17:55.240
You know, having to, you know, know when the sun's coming up so we could navigate the next day.
00:18:08.420
A lot of our alertness was outside of our body.
00:18:20.200
Yeah, just trying to focus on taking care of myself.
00:18:58.160
So I'm just sticking with what's working right now for me.
00:19:15.140
And he's been a guest here on this past weekend.
00:19:19.960
So I went out there and got to do some fishing with Emeril.
00:19:36.400
Just to get to be on a, you know, fishing boat and ask him about desserts.
00:19:45.780
I mean, I just kept whispering little desserts by him, tiramisu.
00:19:53.280
And I would just say stuff, you know, just like potatoes au gras.
00:19:57.240
You know, I would just kind of mumble little recipes under my breath and stuff and see if...
00:20:09.220
If you throw out a low decibel recipe around that man, he'll hear it.
00:20:28.440
I'm trying to think of what else has been going on.
00:20:35.380
You know, I'm taking a little break off of dating.
00:21:11.320
You know, you get up to go pee and you come back and you're damn...
00:21:18.200
You're just waiting for the chance to get back into your seat.
00:21:35.880
You can just continually pass by this beautiful outlook over the mountains and stuff.
00:22:15.220
But if you got dizzy enough and laid there, I bet it would...
00:22:19.220
I bet it would fucking touch your ass a little.
00:22:31.400
And I'd gone up to Jimmy John's summer camp up in Wisconsin.
00:22:42.120
So it was nice to get to see him and spend some time.
00:23:00.000
I'm trying to think of something else I wanted to share.
00:23:11.140
I got a few more taken out the back and plugged into the front somewhere.
00:23:23.640
You know how I had to re-enlist them bitches in the front.
00:23:34.920
Hopefully they put in something damn fucking beautiful up there.
00:23:37.600
Hopefully I get a damn cornrow up there or something.
00:23:43.060
I take care of my mind and my brain by going to therapy.
00:24:04.540
You got to let it get things in and get things out.
00:24:17.680

And I want to thank, you know, the last touring, we did a tour through Florida, and some fella
00:26:54.580
And then someone, a lady knitted me a rat king, a doll, a cross-headed doll of me, and a rat.
00:27:13.280
And if you're watching on YouTube, we'll have the picture in here right now so you can see it.
00:27:17.320
But, man, it just, you know, I just felt so lucky.
00:27:32.160
So, so that's kind of what's been going on with me, you know.
00:27:36.540
We took a week off of the show a few weeks ago.
00:27:43.420
So, just getting, you know, just feeling, taking it easy, taking care of myself, doing
00:27:51.280
the fitness, doing the cold plunging, um, on my medicine.
00:28:00.600
Uh, I'm back on medication, so that's, uh, I think it's okay.
00:28:06.580
You know, I'm not trying to be too crazy about it right now.
00:28:09.460
I went down that ayahuasca road and got out there and really was just, you know, just
00:28:19.540
And sometimes, uh, it was definitely helpful and amazing.
00:28:24.940
Um, but I'm, I feel like I'm happy with, uh, what's going on right now.
00:28:30.800
So, um, I'm on, I think I'm on Lexapro, I don't know, or the cheap one.
00:28:56.620
Um, and yeah, just trying not to, uh, touch my wiener or nothing and just hoping I bust
00:29:13.300
You know, just hoping I just lay there and just, you know, just hoping God touches me
00:29:20.760
Uh, we got some beautiful calls and videos and everything that came in from you guys.
00:29:27.340
Um, I want to get into some of that because I haven't heard from you in a while.
00:29:31.260
I know we had a few guest episodes in a row, uh, but I was so excited to talk to Mike Perry
00:29:37.120
and, uh, I was excited that riffraff came through.
00:29:40.980
And so we had to get those into you and I'm glad that we did.
00:29:44.820
Um, as always, the hotline is nine, eight, five, six, six, four, nine, five, zero, three.
00:30:04.360
Alyssa, thank you for the call in New Orleans, baby.
00:30:11.500
And, um, and yeah, I love New Orleans, you know.
00:30:15.600
I love spending time there as a child and my dad got stabbed over there by a brother
00:30:22.520
one time with a screwdriver, but, um, but we had, you know, we had a lot of nice times
00:30:31.140
And also, um, my, um, my dad had a buddy and he had, uh, one of his limbs, he had a limited
00:30:43.500
limb, one of his limbs wasn't very long, his leg, one of his leg just didn't want to, you
00:30:49.360
know, was just didn't want to fucking do it all.
00:30:53.980
And he used to stand on this piece of concrete all the time.
00:30:57.060
He wouldn't leave it because he looked even on it and he looked real even on it.
00:31:03.080
And he'd stay over there and stand on that thing, you know?
00:31:09.080
Pretty beautiful to see that, see a man just be in one place all the time, just evened
00:31:13.920
out because he had that chunk of concrete under one of his limbs over there.
00:31:23.960
And I really appreciate how transparent you are and how artistic you are.
00:31:33.980
I just want to get your opinion about, uh, tall women.
00:31:45.760
I myself am 5'10", and my partner is 5'10", 5'11".
00:31:51.940
I mean, I used to have like an issue growing up, just like with my own posture and things
00:32:07.360
Look, I'll tell you right now, I like a tall woman.
00:32:11.520
You know, I like a, you know, a little portable woman too, but a tall woman.
00:32:16.100
And, well, I guess it's, I guess it's, it's some men are, feel afraid of it.
00:32:26.480
They consider and be, some men will marry tall women because they also want to marry a man.
00:32:32.840
And, and if you're, if I'm, but, but they're afraid to either be gay or they are not gay.
00:32:44.140
It's how, you know, they say, you know, maybe I would love to have a man, but I'm not doing it.
00:32:49.340
So I'm just going to get a tall woman, you know, and cut her hair short and put her in jerseys and stuff.
00:32:55.480
You'll see a lot of times you'll have a dude out there that seems kind of like, you know, like he could, you know, be for men.
00:33:04.200
And he'll have his wife there and have her in a damn Dennis Rodman jersey and with a damn fade on the side.
00:33:10.020
And you're like, damn, he really carved her up.
00:33:32.940
I like that run and jump up into that bitch's arms.
00:33:44.640
You know, I'm just, just, just puss level with her.
00:33:49.400
I'm just, that's why, you know, that'd be fine.
00:33:52.180
I like a long, you know, hang a damn bird feeder off her ear.
00:33:55.880
I like get her two earrings, damn bird feeders.
00:34:01.400
And I'm down here hanging out by them pockets, baby.
00:34:07.120
So, I think that, yeah, I like a long woman, too.
00:34:11.900
Because sometime, uh, also, if you're, if you go somewhere and you all meet, need to meet up in a group, like at a concert or something, y'all can meet up.
00:34:37.700
You know, they had a lady had one leg that came out to one of the shows, I think in Texas.
00:34:43.460
And she brought that bitch out and let me hold it.
00:34:52.600
You know, every time I get a hold of a damn good orthotic, I fucking, I can feel the wells start filling up inside of me.
00:35:01.800
Because we had a place by us, probably on the other side of these little woods, they had a little place they made orthotics over there.
00:35:10.900
And sometimes they wouldn't, you know, they didn't have some faulty ones or people had used them.
00:35:17.900
And they had some refurbished and they couldn't get the knee right or whatever.
00:35:22.020
Or the fucking ankle only, you know, they had, one of them had an outward ankle or something on it.
00:35:27.800
So, as children, we'd go get up, we'd go, you know, scavenge over there sometime.
00:35:34.240
Roll out of there with a couple of damn, you know, cruise out of there with an arm.
00:35:42.760
You know, half a little sack of phalanges, bro.
00:35:47.960
Halloween, you know, especially around Halloween, we'd try to get over there, see if you'd get anything.
00:35:52.480
And sometimes you'd get you a good rubber leg that somebody had had.
00:35:57.800
I remember one fellow just kept, I guess he'd taken a pen and just kept writing his name into this rubber, kind of rubber leg, you know, just Ernie, Ernie, Ernie.
00:36:08.800
He'd written the dude, I guess, unless he was writing somebody else's name.
00:36:21.380
You guys are doing good and I like seeing y'all out in the world.
00:36:50.560
And I like Illinois, you know, used to pee in a guy's car up there.
00:37:00.340
And my mother grew up out there in Wyoming, Illinois.
00:37:03.520
And she used to really, you know, she used to enjoy her childhood up there and stayed as a big place in my heart.
00:37:46.520
Take it to ball games and everything else and shove beers out of it.
00:38:00.740
And so, you know, I have a little bit of experience with extra limb.
00:38:07.120
First of all, yeah, you got to do something with it.
00:38:14.560
That thing, that damn, that tibia or whatever, that bitch got magic in it.
00:38:18.580
You know, it's the last piece of your father you have.
00:38:23.720
And, you know, like some people hang a tennis ball so they know when to stop the car.
00:38:30.020
Every time, you know, the windshield of your Dodge Neon or whatever hits that thing, you're going to remember pops.
00:38:48.280
Get some damn, light some candles around that bitch and ask it questions.
00:39:09.480
I mean, is it, you know, your dad lost his fucking leg so you could sit around and do shit calls?
00:39:25.320
That makes me want to vape on this fucking plant.
00:39:37.480
You know how much I'd get, I'd love to have a piece of my dad.
00:39:41.080
I'd love to have a damn earlobe of my father's or something.
00:39:46.160
You know, when you out here with a whole damn limb, bruh.
00:39:49.900
When you fucking sipping damn blue moons out that bitch or whatever.
00:39:59.140
Get off the shitter and get out in the yard and fucking hit dingers with that bitch.
00:40:05.080
Drive down the street at night and hit people's mailboxes.
00:40:28.200
Get a job running the torch and then surprise them.
00:40:42.260
Throw, you know, have, let the kids have a sleepover and just hum that bitch into the tent in the middle of the night.
00:40:58.440
That's what I tell you to be real honest with you.
00:41:09.720
So you could get a kick in the ass and get some motivation going.
00:41:32.160
I got kind of nervous, so I kind of cut it short.
00:41:37.480
Yeah, I know it can be kind of hard to just leave a message if it's something that means something to you.
00:41:43.660
Or even if it doesn't, I know it's a lot for you guys to just put your voice in there.
00:41:55.820
I struggle with a lot of anger and stuff like that.
00:41:58.600
And I kind of take it out on my wife and stuff sometimes.
00:42:04.940
And I wonder if you got any advice about controlling anger or maybe controlling myself a little bit more to make my days go better.
00:42:21.860
I get mad and I'm like, I gotta go to work and stuff like that.
00:42:43.800
You're able to get a little oversight of yourself.
00:42:48.540
You know, you're able to see, okay, this anger isn't helping me.
00:42:52.760
You know, I was dealing with a lot of anger a few years ago, even eight months ago.
00:43:03.200
I just wanted everything to be a certain way, you know.
00:43:25.000
And some things that I've done for me is I've started a little bit of meditation.
00:43:33.660
You can look up some YouTube videos how to meditate.
00:43:39.840
Before I'm going to get angry, it gives me a little more space between me and the world.
00:43:51.680
And if I'm right on top of the world, then whenever something happens, I'm right there.
00:44:01.140
But meditation starts to give you a little bit of space between the world and you.
00:44:21.100
You know, and it affects me and it affects my loved ones.
00:44:31.740
And God, can you help me to figure out what's going on?
00:44:37.100
And if you believe in God or not, it can be the universe.
00:44:47.600
But putting it out there like that, it kind of makes you feel not so alone about it.
00:44:52.820
And you'll start to get some feedback from the world, from God, from whatever you believe.
00:45:05.960
Yeah, I'm trying to think of what was really, you know.
00:45:10.340
And this would be a good one if people have some suggestions for Hunter about how to handle this anger.
00:45:15.820
And I guess I can't really tell if it's about your wife or you're just saying that it comes out towards her.
00:45:21.260
But one thing I've also noticed for myself is even going back to just doing fitness and stuff, that's been helping me a lot.
00:45:30.240
You know, it's been helping me get out of myself.
00:45:40.360
A lot of times I feel anger when I'm not in, I'm not in control in some way.
00:45:54.820
Let me try and think about it for just a second.
00:46:04.440
I'd find myself, I could, I was literally watching myself behave ways that I didn't want to be.
00:46:18.720
And a lot of it was because for me it was control.
00:46:34.440
And so for me, I started to have to get a higher power.
00:47:03.640
But I'd love some suggestions actually for Hunter.
00:47:06.300
And we can put those at the end of an upcoming solo episode.
00:47:18.680
I'm going to play that part again where you talked about what was going on.
00:47:26.020
I struggle with a lot of anger and stuff like that.
00:47:36.020
And I wonder if you got any advice about controlling anger, controlling myself a little bit more to make my days go better.
00:47:54.260
Oh, another thing that I do, I started doing is when I get up in the morning, you know, and I'm kind of lucky, I think, because I have some time right now to do this.
00:48:09.960
And then one of the first things I do is I'll check in with other people.
00:48:28.620
And that takes some pressure off of me, I notice.
00:48:32.000
There's also, you know, you could do a 12-step program.
00:48:37.980
There's like, you may have anger and resentments in your life that you don't really know about.
00:48:44.780
You know, there's all types of, there's Al-Anon, there's CODA, there's ACOA, Adult Children of Alcoholics.
00:48:58.180
I'm not saying that you, any of that is part of your life.
00:49:01.400
I'm just trying to think of, you could even just go do one of those programs and it would help you solve some of these things.
00:49:08.280
You know, if you did a 12-step program, there may even be one for anger specifically.
00:49:13.360
And you can go to Zoom and you listen to other people talk.
00:49:17.140
And one of them is going to say something that's really going to help you.
00:49:24.160
But, you know, having gratitude, writing gratitude lists.
00:49:28.140
You know, it's hard to be angry and grateful at the same time.
00:49:34.300
Oh, and I just, I got this grateful shirt on today.
00:49:37.040
This is from our boy Dustin Poirier from his shirt.
00:49:43.440
And anyway, man, I'm sorry you're dealing with that.
00:49:48.380
If you're looking at yourself to see what's going on with you, and it's awesome that you care about your wife and, you know, you want to figure some of this out.
00:49:56.160
And you recognize that it's hurting you, that it's hurting your world.
00:50:01.460
So, right there, that's really, you know, you should feel good about yourself for that.
00:50:12.960
I had a lot of anger and resentment towards my past and family and stuff like that.
00:50:20.120
And, uh, and I'm still working through that stuff and, uh, I'm hopeful about it.
00:50:26.900
So, uh, but we'll try to get some suggestions from people and throw those on at the end of the next episode.
00:50:37.500
I warm today to stop that dirty sun from getting at my face balls, my eyes.
00:50:44.120
Ladies and gentlemen, Goodr has some amazing sunglasses at just $25 a pair.
00:50:53.840
They're clean, durable, a hundred percent polarized.
00:51:02.620
They have, uh, names like a ginger's soul and going to Valhalla.
00:51:17.380
That's G-O-O-D-R dot com slash T-H-E-O and use code Theo for 15% off.
00:51:29.240
You know, I wear, I wear my gooders because they're stylish.
00:51:42.200
And if I lose them at this price point, I'm going to be upset, but it's not going to hit
00:51:47.580
me that hard as if you lose one of them fancy, fancy pairs.
00:52:05.240
When you use code Theo at checkout, you get 15% off.
00:52:09.920
I know a lot of you, uh, do stuff on the web and you wonder if people can see it.
00:52:19.700
People were like, you should use incognito mode.
00:52:23.780
But incognito mode does not hide your activity.
00:52:27.360
It doesn't matter what mode you use or how many times you clear your browsing history.
00:52:32.420

And my God, I spent a lot of good time over there.
00:54:29.200
And I remember the night that the Taco Bell opened up and people were damn fired up.
00:54:36.160
People were fucking beating their stepchildren and drinking Dr. Pepper and just fucking, you know, and just, God, people were excited.
00:54:55.380
We were making it through the alphabet that year and we got pretty far.
00:54:59.360
And, uh, we got all baked out and was headed to the Taco Bell like everybody was.
00:55:11.620
And I pulled up and got out the van and my damn step-parents were right there, bruh.
00:55:26.060
I mean, just like the devil had just been damn grilling burgers up in my fucking sight balls, baby.
00:55:34.500
And I don't know what I, dude, I don't know what I said to them.
00:55:47.680
Uh, we listened to the riffraff episode just now.
00:55:51.780
I heard you mention Tiffany Lane's where you got that first little bit of pussy heat on you.
00:55:57.680
I lost my virginity over there behind Tiffany Lane's over there on Highway 190.
00:56:03.900
If you like bowling or if you like eating bad popcorn.
00:56:08.140
And, uh, seeing people be depressed about their families and loved ones.
00:56:14.600
Oh, and the carpet was always wet in that bitch, bruh.
00:56:18.460
Dude, I said, every fucking step was damp up in there.
00:56:22.620
Just like the damn carpet just had that, you know.
00:56:34.240
It might have been carpet straight on damn swampland, bruh.
00:56:45.940
So, it made me a little sad to hear that great memory.
00:56:49.520
But, I know exactly the place you're talking about.
00:56:52.760
And, unfortunately, with the pandemic, they closed it down.
00:57:11.840
We need to go put a cross up or something behind there.
00:57:31.020
Everything turns into a fucking lens crafters or something, you know.
00:58:03.880
It's just been a few weeks since we've had a solo episode.
00:58:06.420
You know, and some of that's been because I'm just so, you know,
00:58:15.240
since I hadn't really been feeling like myself.
00:58:19.980
And the hard part sometimes with podcasting is putting yourself out there
00:58:28.500
You know, you want to put at least the most, not the most comfortable you out there,
00:58:37.400
but you want to at least be able to, you know, get through the episodes without feeling a lot of stress.
00:58:44.200
And, you know, for a long time that was hard for me.
00:58:54.960
But I was just trying to, you know, just trying to take it easy.
00:59:00.700
And I miss the solo episodes because I miss, I feel like this is where I get to connect with people
00:59:40.780
And just to know that, you know, they'd had a tree fell in her trailer
00:59:43.400
and that bitch has been in there for eight months.
00:59:52.700
But just knowing that her and her girls have a roof over their head, you know,
00:59:59.760
and a washer, dryer, and just, you know, man, that makes me feel good.
01:00:11.980
And so I've been thinking a lot about him and what his life is like and, you know,
01:00:20.720
And the challenges he probably feels and stuff like that.
01:00:28.680
You know, we had another family member we tried an intervention on recently.
01:00:50.720
Oh, I'm going to do a friend of mine asked me to be in his movie.
01:01:13.680
But I'm trying to do contrary actions and do things I don't want to do.
01:01:18.580
Because sometimes I get so set in my comfort zone.
01:01:33.620
And so I'm like, if I want to have different feelings and stuff and different experiences,
01:01:56.200
I like, you know, somebody will invite me to a movie.
01:02:05.560
It's going to be like a fucking movie, you know?
01:02:14.660
And people's fucking hiding and eating damn jujubies, dog.
01:02:19.520
You know, but it's like, I want to know everything.
01:02:25.660
I've always, I want to know how everything's going to go.
01:02:36.620
Because if I know how everything's, you know, there's not going to be any real surprise.
01:02:44.140
But what it takes away from me, it takes possibility.
01:02:50.600
And you can't really have a lot of fun if you don't have a lot of possibility.
01:03:03.700
And I think I used to be more relaxed and more open about that.
01:03:11.020
But when my life got real busy, I got real scared.
01:03:25.120
And I didn't know how to, and the only thing I knew how to do was I just, I need to tighten down on control.
01:03:36.560
Anyway, I don't even know what I was talking about.
01:03:39.100
But, yeah, that's just been what's been going on with me.
01:03:42.420
So I've been trying to be braver and try new things.
01:03:50.500
And the funny thing is, once I even agreed to do my buddy's project, I felt suddenly more excited.
01:04:01.220
It started to turn from fear and, like, what's it going to be like?
01:04:21.900
Me and David Spade wrote a movie script together.
01:04:52.680
So, that's just stuff that's been going on with me, I guess.
01:04:59.320
But I'm trying to share things that are making me feel excited.
01:05:21.920
I've always appreciated the homage that you give to the place that you came from.
01:05:28.880
I think it's really important that we remember where we come from so we know where we're going.
01:05:33.600
That's something that was instilled in me as a young kid.
01:05:37.460
And I'll hand it down to those who come after me someday.
01:05:44.220
You sound like you got a little bit of that veal plaid in you, baby.
01:05:53.360
You got that rim-a-lot over there in your windpipe, baby.
01:06:00.300
And in that same vein, my question to you, Theo, is do you feel a connection to your ancestors?
01:06:08.820
And if you do, how does that connection show for you in your life?
01:06:13.740
How do your ancestors manifest in you, Theo Vaughn, in the year 2022?
01:06:48.640
And so sometimes I still feel my father around.
01:07:00.300
And sometimes I'll even put those ear listeners on.
01:07:54.380
It's been remixed by people doing sex and making a new person.
01:08:04.320
This is the same fucking beat that went through my father.
01:08:11.600
I had a tough time with my own family growing up.
01:08:45.280
I notice my own family connections growing stronger these days.
01:09:18.980
You know, sometimes I'll see a little rabbit go by or something.
01:09:25.920
But yeah, I mean, I feel a connection to Louisiana.
01:09:33.660
I feel a connection to Covington where I'm from.
01:09:43.300
And stories are important because that's how we learn a lot of things.
01:09:46.960
You know, that's how you instill a lot of, like, the past into people.
01:10:11.780
But for now, I think I'm just working on the gratitude...
01:10:30.800
I think I've had resentments in some of that space.
01:10:47.580
Because if you tell your kid who his grandfather...
01:11:13.460
It's probably like in a lot of native cultures.
01:11:16.400
And in other societies, it might be really big.
01:11:22.680
There was not a lot of sharing stories of the past.
01:11:35.160
He said that there were people eating dirt in his village.
01:11:56.540
Because then a kid doesn't feel like he's just here.
01:13:22.000
And that's something that even comes back to me more.
01:13:53.700
And that was a totally valid excuse to not have to do something.
01:14:32.980
Jacoby and you know boo boo got with a freaking.
01:15:17.300
You know things are just trying to stay above it.
01:15:42.420
You know that we've created this society that there feels like so much pressure.
01:15:50.880
You know it feels like we don't even exist sometimes anymore.
01:15:53.620
But I don't know if that's real or if that's just a side effect of something we've created.
01:16:04.760
I think the truth is that we are important and that we do matter and that there is purpose to us.
01:16:20.900
Because I think we just got to refine our footing a little.
01:16:27.300
You know and I don't know exactly how we do that.
01:18:24.760
A podcast where I'll be sharing thoughts on things like current events.
01:18:55.500
Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.
01:19:01.500
I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.
01:19:11.140
Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.
01:19:15.460
Second rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.
01:19:19.720
Third rule, like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
01:19:25.460
And yes, don't worry, my Brad Pitt impression will get better.
