00:01:20.900 I love you guys, baby.

00:01:21.880 Thank you.

00:01:22.260 All right.

00:01:24.140 Check.

00:01:24.580 Check.

00:01:26.760 Chicken.

00:01:28.360 Check your chicken, baby. 0.95

00:01:30.360 Check your chicken.

00:01:32.880 God.

00:01:33.580 How do you know if a chicken is a woman? 1.00

00:01:35.380 I guess if it has an egg, huh?

00:01:36.720 But now there's definitely, there's got to be a lot of dude chickens like that will just like hide an egg under their little chicken arm or whatever it's called. 1.00

00:01:48.620 Little flat like feather chicken arm.

00:01:54.560 There's got to be a lot of little, and they hide, and then when they, and then they sneak over by the women chickens and then just kind of sneak it out. 0.75

00:02:04.780 A lot of dude chickens trying to get over there and just hang out with the babe chickens. 1.00

00:02:09.780 So there's got to be a lot.

00:02:12.120 That's the thing.

00:02:12.900 It's like you don't even, a man chicken, maybe you just look at it in its eyes, you know, say, are you a man chicken or not?

00:02:23.320 But yeah, I think there's got to be a lot of female chickens that are men, that are closeted men or whatever, or that are just hiding an egg like, and then when nobody's looking, they just, just. 0.99

00:02:39.780 Lay that bitch down and then pretend that they're women and sit over there with the, with the women chickens and watch my 700 pound, uh, um, wakeboarder or whatever. 1.00

00:02:54.900 I don't even know what some of the shows that women are watching now. 1.00

00:02:57.240 I think my 600 pound dental assistant or whatever.

00:02:59.700 There's like all, there's like, yeah, there's a show the other day.

00:03:04.020 It was like my 440 pound mailman or whatever.

00:03:07.520 Like, dude, if that you're never getting your mail, if that's who is helping you out, that you are, you're not getting any mail.

00:03:18.580 So, um, but yeah, that's the thing now.

00:03:23.440 You don't, a lot of chickens, you don't know if they are real chickens.

00:03:26.760 You don't know who's being a woman chicken. 1.00

00:03:28.720 Who's being just a sneaky man chicken hiding an egg under its little, um, wing or whatever.

00:03:34.980 That's the word, wing.

00:03:36.380 Yeah. 1.00

00:03:37.040 You don't know who's hiding a little egg under its wing and then it just sneaks over there by the women and is just like, and just drops that bitch off, baby. 1.00

00:03:47.000 Like, they're one of Easter's little hit men, baby. 0.99

00:03:49.620 They're just, that's a, there's a lot of, uh, men in disguise being women nowadays, um, all over.

00:03:58.580 So, yeah, like that trans, it's like that trans swimmer at the Penn State or whatever, or Penn or, uh, University of Pennsylvania.

00:04:07.300 It's like that trans swimmer. 0.99

00:04:09.060 That's the kind of chickens they have nowadays. 1.00

00:04:11.340 A lot of men chickens are sneaking in a women's chicken world and being women's chickens because it's easier, probably. 1.00

00:04:22.060 That's why I would guess.

00:04:24.300 And maybe because they get a little bit more attention.

00:04:27.560 Um, and some of that makes sense.

00:04:31.580 It's like, if we don't, if men don't get any attention for being men, if they're not rewarded anymore for being men,

00:04:36.820 then they, some, they will, some will slink over to woman, woman, to being a woman just to still get attention. 0.93

00:04:46.120 Cause even as creatures, I believe that we need attention as male or female creatures.

00:04:51.420 Um, what's up guys.

00:04:53.540 Welcome to the podcast.

00:04:55.960 Sorry.

00:04:56.320 It's been a while, uh, since I've done a solo episode, there's a couple of reasons.

00:05:00.060 One, it was just, we started getting more guest opportunities.

00:05:03.380 And so that was nice.

00:05:05.580 And then two, it was, I was just kind of exhausted, I think, um, like burnt out.

00:05:13.420 And so it was hard for me to get into a space where I just, uh, felt like I could just have a fun, uh, normal conversation or,

00:05:21.740 or where I could just drop into my thoughts or feelings easily.

00:05:26.480 Every week was just, everything was just kind of like a lot.

00:05:30.360 And, um, I do want, I honestly want to apologize for that.

00:05:34.020 Not like I need to apologize for it, but this is the kind of stuff that's most important to me is having episodes, um, like this and, uh, just solo episodes.

00:05:45.720 And so, um, I'm going to do a better job of that.

00:05:49.860 Uh, I'm not going to put like a number on myself or anything, but I'm going to do a better job of keeping that going, um, over the rest of the year.

00:05:57.020 So I'm looking forward to that.

00:05:58.880 And, um, as always, you can, you know, hit the hotline if there's something going on, uh, 985-664-9503 is the hotline number.

00:06:08.480 Um, yeah, we hit 500 episodes.

00:06:14.280 That's, I can't, I can't, that's 500 episodes, dude.

00:06:21.760 That's unreal.

00:06:24.040 Let me look back at one of the first episodes.

00:06:27.680 Here we go.

00:06:28.500 Let's listen to the beginning of the first episode.

00:06:30.320 Wow, dude, it was seven years ago.

00:06:33.340 And this is, this past weekend, it's the first one I ever done.

00:06:39.420 The first one.

00:06:41.340 I'm seeing how it goes.

00:06:42.700 I'm literally sitting in my closet right now.

00:06:46.220 In, uh, in my apartment in Los Angeles.

00:06:50.300 Um, I hung some blankets up on the walls.

00:06:54.140 I don't even know if that's how you make a sound area for recording.

00:06:57.780 Um, I have a luggage bag laying on its side.

00:07:03.340 Like, it was a casualty of war.

00:07:05.480 And then I have this microphone sitting on top of it.

00:07:08.480 Yeah.

00:07:09.420 Wow, that's wild.

00:07:12.200 That's wild, man.

00:07:13.520 Just to think that we got to 500 episodes.

00:07:15.800 And yeah, just that, uh, that, uh, that that's how it began was in that closet.

00:07:18.920 Just a little fella in the closet, dude. 1.00

00:07:21.240 And that is not a euphemism, bro.

00:07:23.180 That was, I just audio documented the fact that it was actually a man physically in a closet.

00:07:29.720 Um, a straight man.

00:07:31.060 Um, yeah.

00:07:33.320 And I turned over a piece of luggage and I set the camera or the, uh, audio mic up on the, on top of it.

00:07:40.940 And it was just an audio podcast.

00:07:43.880 Yeah.

00:07:44.360 And then there was, um, I remember we had the first jingle.

00:07:48.840 If we can play that, the intro, let me find it here.

00:07:54.700 Um, at the beginning of this episode, this was our early intro right here.

00:08:02.500 Welcome to this past weekend.

00:08:05.520 This past weekend.

00:08:08.740 Welcome to this past weekend.

00:08:10.960 Let's connect that boom, boom.

00:08:12.260 What's up, you chinchillarellas? 0.94

00:08:14.600 Bienvenidos este fin de semana pasado.

00:08:19.240 This past weekend.

00:08:22.580 Yeah.

00:08:23.160 So at some point I started taping in my kitchen.

00:08:26.160 And, um, and that was for six months.

00:08:32.040 For six months, uh, I was taping in my kitchen and we had some producers that we met, that I met online.

00:08:40.080 I don't even remember.

00:08:41.640 I don't think, did you come help me in my kitchen, Nick?

00:08:43.880 Yeah, one time.

00:08:44.880 Oh, you did?

00:08:46.160 Wow.

00:08:46.600 Um, thank you.

00:08:51.160 Um, yeah, we did it in the kitchen for about six months.

00:08:54.940 And I remember I would stay up for a while in the beginning.

00:08:56.900 I would just edit it myself and put it up.

00:09:00.000 And then I would keep my girlfriend up.

00:09:01.980 She's like, what are you doing?

00:09:03.140 And I'd be sitting there just making sure everything made sense online.

00:09:08.040 Uh, that was pretty wild.

00:09:11.660 And then there was a guy, there was a company called Gray Block Pizza.

00:09:16.240 And I met the owner, Thomas, and he started advertising.

00:09:23.920 He was our first advertiser on the podcast.

00:09:26.100 This was the ad read right here.

00:09:29.080 This week's episode brought to you by Gray Block Pizza at 1811 Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles on the way to the beach.

00:09:36.300 You headed to the sunshine, you want some sand in your feet, on the way there, stop in, get that Italian mouth full. 1.00

00:09:42.640 You know, Gray Block, get that hitter. 0.97

00:09:44.880 And he said, you should get a studio.

00:09:48.860 He said, with the ad money, you should get a studio.

00:09:52.800 And then that's what we did.

00:09:54.560 So the fighter and the kid had an old studio.

00:09:56.900 We took their old spot.

00:09:59.400 They had moved to a bigger one next door.

00:10:01.420 And then we started getting more regular guests.

00:10:04.240 We got, uh, Chris Ryan came in and, uh, Jay Moore, Jeannie Buss, Dustin Poirier, uh, Dee Snider.

00:10:15.520 We had Eddie Bravo, Jamie Kennedy.

00:10:18.320 Yeah, a lot of just early heroes that showed up.

00:10:22.880 Um, uneven Steven.

00:10:24.920 He was a homeless guy.

00:10:26.080 And, um, yeah.

00:10:30.060 It just continued to build from there.

00:10:32.020 We had a blind person come on.

00:10:34.120 Michael Bisping came in there.

00:10:35.980 Jordan Peterson came in.

00:10:39.500 Um, who else?

00:10:41.500 Bobby Lee.

00:10:42.180 Just, it just kept going.

00:10:44.640 Or we just kept doing it.

00:10:46.820 You know, there were times when it was good and times when it wasn't going good.

00:10:50.020 Or it was always going good.

00:10:51.840 It was just going.

00:10:53.180 That's really the truth.

00:10:54.940 And, uh, and we just kept doing it.

00:10:58.140 You know, we just kept doing it.

00:10:59.900 And I've had a great group of producers over the years that have helped.

00:11:05.500 Um, Nick Davis was really the starting producer.

00:11:09.760 And he's back with us now.

00:11:11.520 Um, Zach Powers, uh, is, um, one of our lead producers now.

00:11:19.600 Colin Reiner, Ben Becker, Ari Maness has stepped in to help produce episodes when we're traveling on the road.

00:11:26.660 Uh, this guy, Chris, Shy Chris, we called him.

00:11:31.120 Really amazing dude.

00:11:33.140 Um, my buddy, um, Sherb, there was this dude for a little while.

00:11:39.580 We were in between studios and I would tape at his studio at night.

00:11:45.520 And, um, and he overdosed a few years ago.

00:11:48.480 But, uh, I keep him in my heart, man.

00:11:51.280 He's a guy that helped me get through weeks where there wouldn't have been an episode.

00:11:56.280 Um, there was times I remember I did it in my car a few times in the middle of the night in a driveway somewhere.

00:12:02.520 In Illinois one time I needed to get an episode out.

00:12:06.080 All right, I'm coming to you live from a Nissan Sentra about 20 miles from the nearest internet.

00:12:13.220 It is dark out here, dude.

00:12:16.300 I mean, you can't, you can't see nothing.

00:12:20.860 I mean, the devil could be just smelling the cinnamon stains on your skin.

00:12:26.900 And you wouldn't know he's right next to you.

00:12:30.820 And then just people would make beautiful art and really, uh, there was just, it's just been a really amazing world.

00:12:36.260 And I'll have to go over some of that in the future.

00:12:38.340 There's a guy that made these really cool cards.

00:12:41.560 And he would, whenever we would do an episode, he would do an outline, like a stat, a stetching or whatever.

00:12:48.560 A stetching of a, uh, of the person, the guest who'd been on.

00:12:52.360 And, um, he made a great collection of those for us.

00:12:56.640 Um, I'll make sure to put it in on the YouTubes so you can see it.

00:13:00.460 And, uh, but we moved into another studio and we were there for a few years.

00:13:06.360 And then finally we're in a, even a new studio now.

00:13:09.540 And so it's just been a, it's been an evolution and, uh, it's been really crazy, you know, and it's been, you know, it's something that really started like just, uh,

00:13:20.720 it was kind of just talking about stuff and then guys connecting about things.

00:13:24.500 A lot of fellas and sometimes even women were connecting, you know, I remember one woman called in once and a man had taught, had like, uh, like touched her. 0.98

00:13:36.800 She had, her and her, her, her guy, like they were dating and some fella had touched her vagina in a empty refrigerator box. 1.00

00:13:44.560 And that was just, that's when I knew like we were definitely on to something, you know, we were doing something right. 0.98

00:13:53.940 Just cause there was an element of mystery there.

00:13:56.740 There was like an, a missing appliance and there was sexual touching, there was sexual tension.

00:14:05.800 It was, you know, and I think she was even a redhead and there was, so it was, I remember that moment was pretty solid.

00:14:14.140 Um, other moments, the fellow that got hit by the train, um, Dalton, I think was his name.

00:14:21.260 I remember that baby, two trains.

00:14:24.060 And he even said, he said, look, if God wants that train to hit me again, I'm ready.

00:14:28.820 I'm ready to be hit again by a locomotive. 0.97

00:14:32.860 And if, and I knew that's how I just said, damn, we're really doing something here, you know? 0.96

00:14:37.300 And, um, and yeah, it's just been a special time. 0.89

00:14:39.880 It's been amazing to have this opportunity.

00:14:42.060 And, uh, I don't know if I'm just sounding like, just like a, like a mechanical bull or whatever.

00:14:49.980 Um, yeah, this pocket is just giving me so many more opportunities than ever thought.

00:14:57.020 You know, it's given me opportunities to talk with, with strangers about stuff that's real.

00:15:02.860 Um, it's given me the opportunity to talk with people I really look up to and admire, um, with stuff that's real and not real and fun.

00:15:13.980 It's given me a chance to learn a lot about myself.

00:15:18.340 Um, and yeah, that's what I wanted to be moving forward.

00:15:22.440 And, uh, I wanted to do a solo episode sooner for episode 500, but it just didn't shake out that way.

00:15:29.440 And, and I didn't stress myself about it.

00:15:32.580 I didn't go over like I got, you know, I just said, look, when, when the time is right, it'll be, you'll get it right.

00:15:38.680 And even today we started out an hour and a half late because there was some technical issues here, but that's okay.

00:15:45.980 Here we are, you know, and, um, and I'm just, yeah, I just want to say thank you to everybody for just listening, contributing.

00:15:55.520 So many people I run into, they're like, man, I sent in a voicemail or I did this or I did that.

00:16:00.620 And, and I, I try to get back to as many as we can.

00:16:03.380 And, and, um, you know, it's just been a lot, it's been a lot to learn as things have gotten busier.

00:16:07.680 And, uh, just some of the fun moments we've gotten to have and some of the real moments and, um, yeah, this, this, this, this podcast has just given me, uh, a lot of life.

00:16:23.320 You know, it's given me a job to go to every week, um, which I think has probably kept me off of like probably using drugs sometimes because I knew I had to be here the next day.

00:16:35.360 Or I knew I had to be ready for a guest.

00:16:38.480 Um, so just thank you for tuning in, man.

00:16:42.940 You guys, I think, you know, I honestly, I think there's times where you guys have saved my life.

00:16:46.840 Cause I know that just having that one thing on the docket, like, okay, I'm going to be able to, you know, uh, I can't go out.

00:16:53.300 I can't do this tonight.

00:16:54.360 I got, I got to work tomorrow and looking forward to my, to my work, looking forward to being able to meet up and, and be here.

00:17:02.400 And, um, yeah, and we want the show to evolve and be different.

00:17:06.860 Uh, worked really hard in the last year or two to try to, um, spend my spare time going to meet guests and have conversations, get to talk with some of my heroes as they've gotten older.

00:17:22.440 Uh, and it's just, yeah, just thank you.

00:17:27.040 Thank you to everybody who's, um, who's contributed in some way, whether it be a call or listening or a message or just being a human being and letting me just exist in your ears at some point.

00:17:41.500 Um, whether you liked what I had to say or didn't, um, just thanks for letting me, uh, visit with you for a little.

00:17:49.600 And I mean that, man, I love you guys.

00:17:51.500 And, um, yeah, that's how I feel.

00:17:53.820 I don't want to make a crazy thing out of it, but everybody kept saying it's 500.

00:18:44.160 Have on Kaisana.

00:18:47.640 Have on Kaisana.

00:18:49.540 All of them.

00:18:50.340 Get them all on, they said.

00:18:52.880 And I said, well, uh, uh, I don't know.

00:18:56.340 And then it came and went, and then now here we are.

00:18:59.120 And I don't even know what episode it is, 500 and something,

00:19:01.500 but I'm grateful to be here with you guys, man.

00:19:03.960 I'm grateful to be here.

00:19:04.920 Baby, just a gaggle of pigeons.

00:19:07.760 You know, that's what I am sometimes. 0.99

00:19:09.620 Dude, I looked at a damn pigeon the other day, and let's be honest, bro. 1.00

00:19:13.100 These bitches are... 1.00

00:19:14.120 They don't have any shoulders, bro, right? 1.00

00:19:19.440 So right out the gate, you know, they fucking probably, you know, 1.00

00:19:24.820 they're lying about a lot of shit. 1.00

00:19:26.480 And they just kind of, they fucking, they look like they've been smoking, too. 1.00

00:19:33.160 A lot of pigeons are just doves that, that, uh, smoke. 0.99

00:19:38.340 That's it, dude.

00:19:39.860 If you want to know what smoking will do to your lungs, look at a dove,

00:19:43.940 and then look at a pigeon, baby. 1.00

00:19:48.760 Look at a fucking pigeon, dude. 0.99

00:19:51.600 Pigeons are just doves that, you know, probably were raised in Philadelphia or something. 1.00

00:19:58.040 Dude, don't lie to me that pigeons aren't from Philadelphia, okay?

00:20:03.600 And New Jersey.

00:20:05.800 You could look at a pigeon easy, dude.

00:20:08.120 They're all, you know, there's like 70 videos of pigeons trying to smoke online.

00:20:14.820 You telling me that's a coincidence? 0.91

00:20:17.600 Get smacked, homie. 1.00

00:20:20.000 Them bitches are from Jersey and Philly. 1.00

00:20:22.320 They can't even fly. 0.99

00:20:23.820 Some of them walked down to New Orleans and Houston,

00:20:29.320 and they're down there sipping out of puddles, you know, eating gum.

00:20:35.700 There's a picture of a pigeon eating gum online.

00:20:39.340 There's a video of a pigeon eating gum. 0.99

00:20:42.240 They don't give a fuck, dude. 0.98

00:20:45.180 They can't fly. 0.99

00:20:46.820 Imagine watching a pigeon walk.

00:20:49.260 They walk at night because they're, I think, ashamed of kind of how their body is, 0.99

00:20:52.820 but a lot of them walk at night down south to a fucking party 0.99

00:20:58.420 because, you know, every puddle in New Orleans has booze in it. 1.00

00:21:03.340 Them fucking puddles are 12-proof, homie. 1.00

00:21:08.120 Dude, you hit a pothole, bro, and your fucking, your tire will be like, 1.00

00:21:14.540 your tire will want another sip. 1.00

00:21:18.680 Your tire will cruise into another pothole just to get another little slurp

00:21:22.000 off that 12-proof water, baby.

00:21:24.940 Everything down there got booze in it. 0.92

00:21:26.680 Yeah, every pigeon should have to wear an eagle's jersey.

00:21:31.880 That's a fact.

00:21:33.440 Every pigeon should have to wear an eagle's jersey.

00:21:37.640 Dude, I was at the doctor the other day.

00:21:39.520 I saw a pigeon there.

00:21:42.420 What kind of bird goes to the doctor?

00:21:46.100 Sure, not one of God's birds, buddy. 0.99

00:21:51.460 Pigeons, dirt birds, dick chickens. 0.99

00:21:57.700 That's all they are, bro. 1.00

00:22:01.060 That's all they are.

00:22:04.920 Pigeons, menthol spunk hens, park oysters, dude. 0.99

00:22:10.260 That's all they are, is damn land oysters. 0.99

00:22:17.480 That's what they are. 1.00

00:22:19.740 So we got to recognize that kind of shit and just, so you just got to recognize, 0.99

00:22:23.480 if you, some guy the other day was showing his, 1.00

00:22:27.400 he was showing his son a pigeon.

00:22:31.520 And I was like, that's, you don't show your son a pigeon, okay?

00:22:38.320 You don't, you don't show your son a pigeon. 1.00

00:22:41.540 You show your son a damn eagle or an egret or a flamingo, dude, a gay egret. 1.00

00:22:51.660 But you don't show your son a pigeon unless you're lazy. 1.00

00:22:57.040 You take your son to the damn dove park, take him a, drive behind a church. 0.99

00:23:02.260 And when the doves get off work, introduce your son to a decent bird. 1.00

00:23:07.820 You piece of shit. 1.00

00:23:09.780 Sorry. 1.00

00:23:10.980 And I'm sorry about that language, but yeah,

00:23:13.560 I saw some guy the other day introducing his son to a couple pigeons in a park. 0.99

00:23:17.800 Fucking, a lot of pigeons are bookies. 0.99

00:23:21.780 Look under their wing. 1.00

00:23:23.420 Jets minus seven, it'll say.

00:23:25.060 So, what's been going on?

00:23:29.780 Hit the hotline, man.

00:23:31.080 Let me know.

00:23:31.520 I want to know who listens.

00:23:33.520 You know, I want to know who listens to the show.

00:23:36.340 We had a call that came in right here.

00:23:42.220 Hey, me, my twin brother, and my cousin are all mailmen.

00:23:47.560 And you've been doing the series where, you know,

00:23:49.980 you did the garbage man and, you know, a police officer.

00:23:52.920 You know, if you want to do a mailman, let us know.

00:23:56.260 You know, we're more than welcome.

00:23:58.320 You know, we come down.

00:23:59.440 We'll take care of business.

00:24:00.480 That's all I'm saying.

00:24:01.480 Okay.

00:24:03.940 Listen, I need my son, my second son, Theo, after you.

00:24:08.940 Because you are just the funniest person I've ever heard.

00:24:11.360 Well, I'll say this, brother.

00:24:13.140 Thank you, first of all, for delivering mail, right?

00:24:17.160 Delivering mail.

00:24:18.180 And it used to be, actually, a lot of mailmen were really tough men.

00:24:24.220 You would see them with knee pads on, elbow pads, eating creatine.

00:24:29.400 And they would roll into the neighborhood and really deliver some mail.

00:24:35.760 That's back when there was tons of mail.

00:24:38.240 Every mailman looked like Santa.

00:24:42.380 Every one.

00:24:43.060 And they'd roll up and they'd knock on the door and the women would be home. 1.00

00:24:46.140 And they'd say, you want some of this mail?

00:24:52.800 And it was a euphemism.

00:24:54.880 It could have meant, do you want some of this masculine energy?

00:24:58.080 Do you want some of this man to come in with this little man wand on him? 0.96

00:25:03.660 And just hog warts that freaking little kucha. 1.00

00:25:07.380 That little kuda. 1.00

00:25:09.340 That kuda, that stay-at-home kuda. 1.00

00:25:12.700 Or it also meant, do you want some mail?

00:25:16.220 Do you want information from the outside world?

00:25:18.860 Do you want perfume samples?

00:25:21.580 Do you want the government to be harassing you?

00:25:25.000 Do you want a, you're late for your Verizon bill?

00:25:28.520 Do you want mail?

00:25:30.360 And there was a lot of options through the mail at that time.

00:25:33.200 Thank you.

00:25:33.560 I'm glad to know that you guys are mailmen.

00:25:35.960 And I love that.

00:25:37.300 I love that, dude.

00:25:38.280 This is almost the saving private Ryan of letter carrying right here.

00:25:43.200 That you don't let your brother go, go out into that communication war zone alone.

00:25:55.440 That's what I love about it.

00:25:57.880 Because a lot of people, they're like, yeah, my brother's a mailman.

00:26:00.200 Like your brother's a mailman.

00:26:01.460 And what, you're not out there with him?

00:26:03.080 You're not out there monitoring, right, working the flank, seeing if dogs are attacking him.

00:26:10.580 You know?

00:26:11.680 You're not out there helping, giving him guidance.

00:26:16.220 There's a ring camera.

00:26:17.640 There's a bee's nest.

00:26:19.920 There's an angry resident.

00:26:24.440 You're not out there.

00:26:26.380 We got FedEx on the left.

00:26:28.720 FedEx on the left.

00:26:31.020 UPS just rolled in.

00:26:36.020 Abort.

00:26:37.900 Mayday, mayday.

00:26:39.500 We got you.

00:26:40.620 Oh, my God.

00:26:41.620 DHL is here. 1.00

00:26:43.100 Who the fuck are they? 1.00

00:26:46.320 You got to be out there with your brother. 1.00

00:26:49.580 You don't send your brother to do mail by himself.

00:26:52.340 So I love that.

00:26:53.680 But I want to know who listens to the podcast.

00:26:55.660 985-664-9503.

00:26:58.340 As always, you can hit the hotline and just say, hey, my name is blank and I am a blank

00:27:06.820 and I listen to the podcast.

00:27:09.180 That's all you got to say.

00:27:10.620 I just want to know who's out there.

00:27:12.640 If somebody's out there, if you're a door-to-door salesman, if you are a preacher, if you are

00:27:20.220 someone who carries children for moms that can't, if you are an electrician, if you're an arborist

00:27:36.020 like my brother, a tree climber, a tree cutter, if you are a nurse like my sister, if you are an Amazon 0.78

00:27:48.640 delivery person like my mother, yeah, just what do you do?

00:27:53.840 I would just like to know.

00:27:56.900 Yeah.

00:27:59.280 Sorry.

00:27:59.800 I don't know if I've seen all over the place, dude.

00:28:01.080 I just haven't done this in a while.

00:28:02.840 It feels new.

00:28:05.380 You know, it's almost like wearing a condom, dude, to be honest with you, you know.

00:28:09.320 And so I don't know who said that. 1.00

00:28:11.720 Damn AI. 0.99

00:28:17.460 What else do we have going on? 0.99

00:28:19.020 I thank you, Ian, and thank you for delivering that mail, and thank you for not letting your

00:28:21.720 brother go out there alone.

00:28:22.720 Thank you for not letting your brother go out there alone, dude.

00:29:28.940 Is pornography causing a problem in your life?

00:29:33.000 That's a good question.

00:29:34.400 It's a real question.

00:29:35.400 It has in mind.

00:29:36.940 It has at certain periods in my life, watching porno and everything and watching porno was

00:29:44.360 making me, it was ruining my life.

00:29:46.920 It was ruining my life, man.

00:29:48.480 Made me feel just so much shame.

00:29:49.880 That's what it did.

00:29:51.660 Well, watching pornography has become commonplace today.

00:29:55.060 And oftentimes, men will use porno to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety, and

00:30:02.200 depression.

00:31:16.320 What's been happening?

00:31:17.220 What have I been doing?

00:31:18.140 A lot of stuff, man.

00:31:19.620 I'm going to Europe, coming up to some shows.

00:31:22.180 Some people are upset.

00:31:23.220 You're not coming here.

00:31:24.760 I'm just, I'm, my friend is getting married, and so I'm going to his wedding.

00:31:28.300 Um, and then I'm just trying to put some shows over while I'm over there.

00:31:35.540 And, uh, just, yeah, I'm excited about it.

00:31:37.940 And what do I feel?

00:31:40.080 Yeah, it'll be good, you know?

00:31:42.260 So just to get some different spots over there.

00:31:45.120 And, and yeah, there's still a lot of spots to go.

00:31:47.580 And, um, yeah, I'm happy to be here in Austin this week, working on some material.

00:31:52.340 And, uh, well, let's get into a call or two, and I'll share in between.

00:32:02.160 Um.

00:32:03.800 What up, Theo?

00:32:05.040 Elijah, I'm from Indiana.

00:32:07.260 You know, I came, came, uh, on the hotline and I had a little problem.

00:32:13.360 See if I can get a little bit of advice.

00:32:15.280 So, you know, I've been seeing this girl for a little bit.

00:32:17.360 And, um, you know, we're kind of, we're kind of dating now.

00:32:23.300 You know, we're dating. 1.00

00:32:24.520 Type shit. 1.00

00:32:25.660 So. 1.00

00:32:26.540 Dating type shit. 1.00

00:32:30.040 Onward. 1.00

00:32:30.900 You know, we've been going out for a minute.

00:32:32.820 And, you know, when you get to know somebody, you just, you get to know, like, everybody,

00:32:37.920 you know, they've been with, you know?

00:32:39.800 And she's been with quite a few people.

00:32:41.900 A lot more than me.

00:32:43.340 So, like, and when she told me, like, the, like, my heart just broke, man.

00:32:48.520 Like, driving home that night was the worst feeling I've ever had.

00:32:51.400 One of the worst days of my life, man.

00:32:53.560 Some of the people she told me were just outrageous, man. 1.00

00:32:55.920 Some of my homies, like, people I fuck with. 1.00

00:32:58.360 And then, you know, just some random, like, what the fuck, you know? 0.99

00:33:01.520 So, man, I just need your advice on how to, how to take care of that as a man. 0.98

00:33:05.260 Because I'm really struggling to try to get past it.

00:33:08.020 And I know that, I know that it's something you can definitely get past.

00:33:12.780 And I was wondering if you had any advice.

00:33:15.020 Gang, baby, I appreciate that call, Elijah.

00:33:18.940 And, dude, I'll tell you, bro, I dated a girl who, she worked over at, at Charlie Queso's,

00:33:28.700 baby Chuck E. Cheese's.

00:33:29.780 And she, dude, had, she had racked up with everybody in there, okay?

00:33:37.060 She'd racked up with the, uh, the waiter, the, the nearsighted chick that did the ticket she hooked up with her.

00:33:46.000 The boss.

00:33:47.260 Dude, I didn't even know there was a boss at Chuck E. Cheese's, bro.

00:33:51.960 The chef, she hooked up with the chef, uh, Pascali, that's in the band.

00:33:57.700 Not even the lead singer, not even the rap, not even the mouse, the chef, the, the dude that's, like, uh, playing the triangle and, like, stirring the pot or whatever.

00:34:11.020 She hooked up with that guy. 1.00

00:34:12.300 So, it was tough.

00:34:14.920 I'd go meet her for work or pick her up, and it was, like, I would go in there and feel kind of embarrassed sometimes.

00:34:20.140 But, um, but she was actually a really cool girl, man.

00:34:24.200 And sometimes I regret that I wasn't brave enough to just kind of let it be her past.

00:34:29.280 You know, I kind of, like, I kept holding her past against her, and it made it miserable for her, and it made it miserable for, really, just for us.

00:34:41.580 Like, we couldn't, like, it was tough, you know?

00:34:46.580 Because she could never, I never gave her really room to, like, first of all, I shouldn't have done it.

00:34:56.960 I shouldn't have held her past against her, and then I never gave her enough, there was never a way that she could make it up to me.

00:35:03.340 Because it's impossible to make up a past, and she shouldn't have to make it up to me.

00:35:07.820 She doesn't have to.

00:35:09.280 So, I kind of made it, everything was always at a deficit.

00:35:13.080 You know, I had an unrealistic, um, expectation.

00:35:17.860 So, uh, yeah, so I wish that maybe I had done that different.

00:35:22.880 You know, maybe I'd been the dude that rolls up with her and just rocks with her and just respects her more.

00:35:28.020 Here's what I'll say, man.

00:35:28.920 You can miss the good ones.

00:35:30.420 And if she's an awesome girl, man, then that's, just be awesome with her.

00:35:36.400 The other stuff will go by the wayside. 0.99

00:35:39.000 Because when you get older, too, that shit doesn't matter, bro. 0.99

00:35:42.940 Everybody's dated or everybody's trans or whatever. 1.00

00:35:45.660 You don't even know what's going on, bro. 0.99

00:35:48.320 You'll reach in somebody's pants and there's just a damn scratch-off ticket in it. 0.98

00:35:52.400 People don't even have crotches anymore. 1.00

00:35:53.860 It doesn't even matter.

00:35:55.780 People are nearsighted, farsighted.

00:35:57.740 People don't even know, people don't even know what's going on.

00:36:02.000 So, I think if you got a cool chick, lock it down. 0.96

00:36:04.500 Because it gets, um, there's not that many great ones out there.

00:36:10.080 You know, and if you got a good one, lock her down. 1.00

00:36:12.860 And just be proud.

00:36:13.860 That's my girl.

00:36:15.300 But yeah, holding that resentment, dude.

00:36:16.940 If you hold a resentment against somebody that there's no way they could, holding that resentment is miserable.

00:36:24.060 Because you're never going to let it go. 0.99

00:36:26.180 So, I think you got to deal with that on your side and then just show up to her like a freaking man. 0.98

00:36:31.380 You know? 0.93

00:36:32.440 But I say, yeah, you know, you can be the dude that rocks with her and respects her.

00:36:35.760 You could be that dude, bro.

00:36:37.680 You could be that dude.

00:36:38.920 Because I believe that women are a reflection of the men in their life. 0.99

00:36:46.060 I really believe that.

00:36:48.220 So, if you show up and you really lift a lady up and you make her feel like something good and you make her feel value.

00:36:56.280 And you make her feel important.

00:36:58.320 If she's somebody you care about, you know, then that's how they will be.

00:37:05.780 I believe that.

00:37:06.840 I believe that women are a reflection of men. 1.00

00:37:10.000 Of the men in their life.

00:37:12.300 Now, I'm not saying I've had the best luck or the most ability to be a good boyfriend or whatever.

00:37:20.700 So, I don't even know if I would listen to me, but I appreciate you asking.

00:37:24.700 And, yeah, man, and if you love her, love her, bro.

00:37:29.500 You know?

00:37:30.600 Don't miss the boat, homie, because the marina only gets smaller. 1.00

00:37:35.480 You feel me?

00:37:37.680 Don't piss where you fish, homie. 1.00

00:37:39.100 You feel me?

00:37:40.520 I don't know what the second one means, but the first one I think is a, is important.

00:37:48.640 What else?

00:37:49.180 I'm trying to think of things that happened.

00:37:50.720 Oh, we got to do the Morgan Wallen walkout at his show.

00:37:53.800 That was really interesting.

00:37:55.980 I was so nervous, dude.

00:37:57.540 So, I go.

00:38:01.140 It was nice that Morgan, he texted me and asked me to go, because, you know, it's like a thing that's just kind of like a strange thing.

00:38:07.460 But it's like a thing that everybody loves.

00:38:09.260 It's like that hype, you know, when they're doing Broadway Girls in the beginning.

00:38:12.700 So, I go and I get there and I'm, I asked Morgan, I was like, do we practice?

00:38:19.220 And he just looked, he looked at me like I was out of my mind, bro.

00:38:24.000 Out of my mind.

00:38:25.720 So, we don't practice.

00:38:28.160 We're just all backstage.

00:38:29.340 It was like his band, me, DeAndre Hopkins, one of D-Hop's boys, my friend Zita.

00:38:40.320 A little group was just back there just vibing, man.

00:38:43.220 People are just like, just like listening.

00:38:46.380 I don't know what it was.

00:38:47.660 Listening to music and just dancing and having fun.

00:38:50.280 And then they're like, okay, let's go.

00:38:53.740 And Morgan's just real casual about it, you know.

00:38:55.940 It's just him just walking into work.

00:38:58.480 But like we, and DeHop was cool because he works at the stadium.

00:39:02.240 He works, he's a NFL athlete.

00:39:05.420 So, he'd been, he'd, he's comes out all the time of the tunnel.

00:39:08.840 But I'd never gotten to do it, you know.

00:39:10.940 Something back there, I'm like stretching and, you know, just, you know, just looking in the mirror to seeing how I'll like look when I walk.

00:39:18.940 So, I had a baseball bat at one point.

00:39:21.740 I had a guitar.

00:39:23.940 And then I was like, what if I hit somebody on accident or something goes wrong? 0.97

00:39:29.060 What if I go crazy and just run out on the stage and just start damn playing some George Strait or something?

00:39:37.980 I just didn't want to, you know, freak out or have, do something, you know, because I can't always rely on myself. 0.88

00:39:43.420 And so, I didn't, so I just took it easy.

00:39:46.380 And I didn't want to try to like, you know, it's Morgan's show.

00:39:49.860 So, you don't want to try and like, you know, be too cool for school.

00:39:54.420 You're just happy to be there to support, you know, just to be just supportive.

00:40:00.660 So, it was interesting, man.

00:40:02.420 And it was, it was really fun.

00:40:04.040 And the craziest part is you get to the end and he gets to go perform.

00:40:07.220 And me and DeAndre started kind of walking up the ramp with him.

00:40:10.600 Like, we were like, because it's like, this is as close as I'm ever going to get to being like a musical star.

00:40:18.880 This, this moment.

00:40:20.420 And it's not close at all.

00:40:21.780 It's really just helping a guy walk, walk, right?

00:40:24.720 But for me and DeAndre, it was as close, bro.

00:40:28.140 We were like, we started walking and they're like, no, no, you too.

00:40:33.240 And literally just security shows up and just sent us to the back and just made us stop, you know.

00:40:39.020 I don't think Morgan would have cared.

00:40:40.640 I think he was, he's just having a good time.

00:40:43.000 But, but dude, it was just a bummer.

00:40:45.580 You want to go out there so bad.

00:40:47.220 You just want to be, you know, everybody wants to be a rock star, you know.

00:40:51.300 So that was, that was something interesting that happened recently.

00:40:57.020 What else?

00:40:58.620 I'm trying to think, man.

00:40:59.200 I know it's been a while.

00:41:01.320 And I'm, I am sorry.

00:41:03.160 I do want to say I'm sorry about not doing more solos.

00:41:05.520 I have missed some of the connection.

00:41:07.640 Just a lot of things have been happening on the, on my own side of stuff.

00:41:12.060 And it's just been a lot.

00:41:14.300 Let's get another call that came in here.

00:41:17.420 What's up, Theo?

00:41:18.440 Man, this is Vlad.

00:41:19.880 What's up, Vlad?

00:41:22.100 Thank you for calling, brother.

00:41:23.580 And Vlad, I believe, is Serbian.

00:41:27.300 Onward.

00:41:28.700 Man, I took this girl home from the bar the other night.

00:41:34.380 I just, something caught me, you know.

00:41:37.920 It was just different, something different about her, you know.

00:41:40.540 She was kind of shy, but I liked her.

00:41:43.860 But I got her home and something happened.

00:41:47.500 It was just.

00:41:48.000 I got her home.

00:41:49.840 You sound like a serial killer, but let's hear more, brother.

00:41:53.020 Sorry to interrupt you, but just. 0.91

00:41:56.380 Just got scared for a second.

00:41:57.780 But let's hear more.

00:41:58.760 Onward, brother.

00:42:00.280 I got her home and something happened.

00:42:03.860 It was just.

00:42:05.960 Man. 0.99

00:42:07.700 When we pulled her pants off, she had nipples on her butt cheeks, man. 1.00

00:42:11.880 It was so strange. 0.99

00:42:13.380 I didn't know how to feel about it. 0.86

00:42:16.180 Nipples on her butt cheeks. 0.99

00:42:18.360 Wow. 0.98

00:42:20.560 Oh, my.

00:42:22.100 Hmm.

00:42:23.880 Oh, my.

00:42:26.000 How to feel about it.

00:42:27.360 Feel about it with them hands, baby.

00:42:28.940 What are you talking about? 1.00

00:42:30.560 Those are extra tits, bro. 1.00

00:42:32.120 Now, I wouldn't motorboat them or you're going to end up in some dirty oil. 0.99

00:42:38.040 You feel me? 0.99

00:42:39.040 But those are extra tits, brother. 1.00

00:42:42.000 That's that. 0.99

00:42:42.740 That's those bumper lumps, homie. 1.00

00:42:45.240 That's them rear milk veneers.

00:42:47.280 Baby, you feel me?

00:42:48.660 You might be back toast intolerant if you can't handle them.

00:42:52.680 Come on, baby. 0.97

00:42:54.180 The bear went over the mountain to see a couple more mountains, dog.

00:43:00.100 You got to get back there, bub. 0.99

00:43:03.300 Extra tits. 1.00

00:43:05.200 And you're complaining? 1.00

00:43:07.700 Let me hear what else you have to say about this.

00:43:09.340 I can't even believe this is a problem for someone. 1.00

00:43:11.960 Finally, our prayers get answered that a woman has tits on her butt. 1.00

00:43:17.560 You know how many men have prayed for a woman to have tit on butt? 1.00

00:43:23.500 Huh? 0.99

00:43:25.020 You know how many men have prayed for a woman to have tit on butt? 1.00

00:43:30.540 And you're crying about it. 0.98

00:43:32.120 Let's hear more.

00:43:33.420 So strange.

00:43:34.480 I didn't know how to feel about it.

00:43:37.260 So, man, I was just curious.

00:43:40.020 How would you feel about that?

00:43:43.500 I mean.

00:43:44.380 Well, I'll tell you this, dude.

00:43:46.480 I would feel very gracious about it.

00:43:49.260 But that's what's going on, bro.

00:43:50.820 It's all merging now.

00:43:53.500 Everything is a merger.

00:43:55.680 Even the bodies, the people, the animals.

00:43:58.520 That's why you have male chickens dropping off an egg, sneaking over. 1.00

00:44:03.920 Trans birds. 0.89

00:44:04.860 Trans, every business is a, it's all mixed. 1.00

00:44:08.540 Buy, try, whatever.

00:44:11.380 Everything is mixed. 0.99

00:44:12.360 You got butts with nipples on them. 1.00

00:44:14.200 You got wieners with milk in them. 0.98

00:44:16.700 You got cankles.

00:44:17.880 You got vajuckles.

00:44:18.880 It's like when you see a Taco Bell that is merged with a Baskin-Robin or Long John Silver's and A&W Root Beer.

00:44:28.980 You're going to have I-Hopple Bees. 0.97

00:44:31.300 You're going to have Wells Fargo, North Dakota.

00:44:34.980 You're going to have Madison Square, Olive Garden, Fudd Rucker Park.

00:44:40.220 It's all business.

00:44:43.440 It's been bought and sold.

00:44:45.180 It's not real anymore.

00:44:47.400 It's a male chicken walking over and dropping off an egg.

00:44:51.460 That's what it is.

00:44:55.800 And the female chicken is too busy on OnlyFans to do the eggs anymore. 1.00

00:45:06.840 It's a weird world.

00:45:09.380 It's a wrap on the world that we knew the final morph has begun.

00:45:14.660 That's where we are.

00:45:16.660 Charlotte's Web, they couldn't even write it anymore.

00:45:18.500 They couldn't even write the book again.

00:45:19.780 Because the animals, a lot of them are boycotting.

00:45:25.200 Their animals are boycotting. 1.00

00:45:26.760 Like, what the fuck are you talking about? 1.00

00:45:28.780 Animals can't read. 1.00

00:45:31.620 It's a lot, guys.

00:45:34.160 What's better than a well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue?

00:45:37.900 A well-marbled ribeye sizzling on the barbecue that was carefully selected by an Instacart shopper and delivered to your door.

00:45:44.620 A well-marbled ribeye you ordered without even leaving the kiddie pool.

00:46:01.760 Groceries that over-deliver.

00:46:03.300 Let's get another call that came in, man.

00:46:07.240 Oh, I do want to say this.

00:46:08.640 I want to say happy belated Mother's Day.

00:46:10.600 You know, I got to surprise my mother, which was really cool.

00:46:13.740 I got to go to Tucson, Arizona.

00:46:18.620 And she didn't know that I was coming, so I got to knock on her door.

00:46:23.700 And she wasn't answering, and I'm like, God, what is going on?

00:46:28.140 And then I'm like, oh, my God, what if something happened?

00:46:33.060 You know?

00:46:34.740 And I look through.

00:46:36.220 Finally, I look in the window because I didn't want her to see me.

00:46:38.360 I didn't want to give it away.

00:46:39.200 I look through the window, and in the shades through there,

00:46:41.780 in the backyard, I could see her laying out in the backyard 0.94

00:46:45.500 and probably having a cold beer back there.

00:46:48.840 My mom would like to lay out. 0.96

00:46:50.620 She'd get in that polka dot bikini over there and lay out a little. 0.86

00:46:54.980 And if we came by her, she would curse at us.

00:46:58.440 And when I was a child, anyway, and the chair was,

00:47:02.060 she would always put it, part of our apartment complex

00:47:04.280 was sinking in the mud, you know? 0.98

00:47:07.340 So it was just over time, it was fucking, you know, 0.98

00:47:11.180 one of your legs didn't even get a lot of use 0.98

00:47:13.380 because there was the downhill leg had most of the traction on it.

00:47:18.300 And, but mom would be out there in that mud, 1.00

00:47:21.860 and after about a half hour,

00:47:22.860 her chair would have to sunk halfway down in there. 0.99

00:47:25.780 And so then we'd try to go help her,

00:47:27.080 and she would just curse at us sometimes 0.88

00:47:28.660 and yell at us and stuff.

00:47:32.360 But she was having some beer,

00:47:33.980 and you had to just be supportive at those times.

00:47:38.480 What else?

00:47:41.180 Oh, let's take a couple more calls that came in.

00:47:45.760 Oh, but yeah, so we got to go.

00:47:47.220 We went out to lunch in Tucson

00:47:49.640 at a place.

00:47:56.460 We got to go to two places.

00:47:57.680 We got to go to a place called Hacienda del Sol,

00:48:00.300 which was really just a really nice staff,

00:48:02.680 beautiful people, and just peaceful, beautiful.

00:48:05.460 And so that was nice.

00:48:09.680 And, and then we got to also go to Wildflower,

00:48:16.040 which is a restaurant I used to work at a long time ago

00:48:18.260 when I lived in Tucson.

00:48:22.140 Out there, I went to Santa Rita High School out there,

00:48:24.280 and it was a lot of Mexicans just basically just kind of beating each other

00:48:29.700 in, in abandoned car washes and stuff like that after school.

00:48:36.560 But beautiful area, though, otherwise, outside of that.

00:48:41.300 And even some of the gangs, you know, they, not bad.

00:48:44.620 I wish gangs had, like, more mascots.

00:48:47.480 I wish gangs, like, did, went the extra mile sometimes

00:48:51.060 to create more of an ambiance,

00:48:53.400 like a t-shirt cannon or something, you know.

00:48:55.600 At least then it would be like the people in the area

00:48:58.480 could have more fun.

00:49:02.320 What else?

00:49:03.000 A lot of breast calls and stuff.

00:49:07.180 Let's see what else came in.

00:49:09.040 Here we go.

00:49:09.980 I'm calling to ask for some advice, man.

00:49:15.560 Calling to ask for some advice.

00:49:17.620 Okay, onward, brother.

00:49:18.740 Thanks for the call.

00:49:19.740 I broke my sobriety of four months.

00:49:24.620 Broke your sobriety of four months.

00:49:28.380 Okay.

00:49:30.560 Let's hear more.

00:49:32.980 I mean, I'm not proud about it, but it was false.

00:49:36.620 I just found myself using again.

00:49:38.460 I mean, what's it called?

00:49:40.720 I mean, I'm a little disappointed in myself,

00:49:42.840 but I think I just, I can just find myself addicted again

00:49:49.360 and falling back on using the drugs to cope with things.

00:49:54.620 Falling back on using drugs to cope with things.

00:49:57.020 Yeah, man, I can certainly, well, once you kind of,

00:50:00.500 you know, relapse, or people use the term a lot,

00:50:03.840 then, yeah, it's hard to get back on the horse.

00:50:07.080 Um, but let me hear a little more.

00:50:11.020 I mean, I don't know if I'm coping with things or if I'm just,

00:50:14.320 like, I'm addicted, you know?

00:50:19.300 Uh, I don't know, man.

00:50:22.040 Man, that's a great question.

00:50:24.560 You know, am I coping with stuff or am I addicted?

00:50:27.740 Hmm.

00:50:29.520 It's hard to know if you're, that's a great question.

00:50:31.540 It's hard to know if you're just coping or if you're an addict.

00:50:33.920 I guess if I'm just coping, well, I think the thing is,

00:50:40.720 if you're using drugs and alcohol to cope, then some of that's fine.

00:50:44.920 But if you're overdoing it, then it's not fine.

00:50:48.100 And I think if you start to wonder if you're an addict,

00:50:50.880 then I'm not saying you are an addict,

00:50:54.100 but I remember one time I was driving around AA houses,

00:50:57.760 like around the buildings,

00:50:58.980 and I was talking to my brother on the phone one time.

00:51:01.140 And he's like, what are you up to?

00:51:02.520 I was like, I'm just driving around this AA meeting.

00:51:05.740 He's like, what do you, what do you mean?

00:51:08.080 I said, well, there's an AA meeting by my apartment,

00:51:10.060 and it's really cool.

00:51:11.660 And sometimes I'll come and drive around it.

00:51:14.220 And he goes, well, I'm not trying to label you or call you out.

00:51:18.500 He goes, but I said, you know who's not,

00:51:21.980 he goes, you know who's not driving around an AA meeting?

00:51:24.260 I said, who?

00:51:25.120 He goes, people who are,

00:51:27.040 people who are sure they don't have a problem.

00:51:30.640 And he was right.

00:51:31.620 I mean, I'd kind of go over by it and jump, 0.99

00:51:33.200 damn peek in the building, peek in the windows and shit. 0.99

00:51:37.520 You know? 1.00

00:51:38.120 And so at that point for me, it was like,

00:51:40.480 I just had to look at my actions and not my thoughts.

00:51:44.600 I was like, my actions,

00:51:45.820 if I'm driving in a circle around an AA meeting,

00:51:48.980 in its parking lot, out to the street,

00:51:51.040 back around in the parking lot, out to the,

00:51:53.800 then that's my action.

00:51:55.760 And it's a little, you know, it's a lot,

00:51:58.720 but it's giving me some signs.

00:52:01.020 So I wouldn't be hard on yourself though, man.

00:52:04.200 Give yourself some grace, brother.

00:52:06.100 You had four months sober.

00:52:07.300 That's incredible.

00:52:07.940 Four months, have anybody do anything for four months.

00:52:13.240 Anything.

00:52:15.400 Extremely hard.

00:52:17.860 Extremely hard.

00:52:20.100 So give yourself some grace, you know?

00:52:22.180 But I think you just have to ask yourself.

00:52:26.260 And you'll know the answer.

00:52:29.180 And then I think you have to make a choice.

00:52:31.000 Like some guys will hit me up and be like,

00:52:32.960 do I, I can't quit?

00:52:34.540 Do I need to go to AA meetings?

00:52:36.020 Like if you are actually have a dependency on drugs or alcohol,

00:52:39.880 then you probably have to go to a detox.

00:52:41.380 And then you could get into maybe a sober living or just go to AA meetings.

00:52:46.840 But I'm not a doctor.

00:52:48.040 I just know what worked for me.

00:52:49.660 I never had to detox.

00:52:53.700 But that would be questions that somebody else could help you with.

00:52:56.860 But I always say, go to three or four meetings and see how you feel.

00:52:59.920 And go to different ones, you know, if you can,

00:53:03.540 just to get a real idea of what they're like.

00:53:06.200 Don't go to one and be like, this sucks or whatever.

00:53:09.440 Yeah, but that's a huge progression, man. 0.54

00:53:11.180 I would be proud of yourself.

00:53:13.820 And I would just give yourself some grace, man.

00:53:15.660 You're trying.

00:53:17.040 You're a human that's really making an effort.

00:53:20.060 And that's really, that's beautiful, dog. 1.00

00:53:24.180 You got that shit, baby. 1.00

00:53:25.140 Praise God. 1.00

00:53:25.780 But what else?

00:53:31.420 Here we got another call.

00:53:32.520 A lot of breast calls.

00:53:33.680 And this is something that's okay.

00:53:35.820 You know, we do want to ask people to hit the hotline. 0.98

00:53:37.720 Let us know the first time somebody touched your genitalia, you know, 0.98

00:53:42.540 and what that experience was like. 0.98

00:53:45.720 Was it scary?

00:53:46.480 Was it exciting?

00:53:47.260 Was it, take us back through some of that.

00:53:50.060 985-664-9503.

00:53:53.520 You know, once a year we like to tap into the memories of sensual memories

00:54:00.640 and that sort of thing.

00:54:02.460 And that's how that, you know, the lady that got touched in that refrigerator box, 1.00

00:54:08.560 you know, that's where you get to really interact with folks like that.

00:54:13.260 So beautiful stuff we want to explore.

00:54:17.860 Got a call that came in right here.

00:54:21.940 Onward.

00:54:22.380 Hey, Theo.

00:54:23.540 Man, I was wondering, I was swimming at the lake one time with my cousin,

00:54:30.640 and we were jumping off the dock, you know, just a beautiful day.

00:54:34.180 It was gorgeous out.

00:54:36.380 And she come up out of the water, and one of her titties was out. 1.00

00:54:41.560 Oh, yes, buddy.

00:54:45.700 Yeah, brother.

00:54:47.440 That's breaching, baby.

00:54:48.520 That's what they call it.

00:54:49.840 That's breaching, baby.

00:54:50.940 That's nature, daddy. 1.00

00:54:53.720 You can watch that on damn Shark Channel. 0.99

00:54:55.480 Let's hear more. 0.99

00:54:56.020 I sat there looking at it, and I didn't really know what to do or say, really.

00:55:02.980 So I just didn't say anything.

00:55:04.980 I just kind of took it in.

00:55:06.240 I don't have any regrets.

00:55:10.840 I don't think that I should have said anything in that moment.

00:55:14.460 It would have just made it too much, you know, in that moment. 0.98

00:55:21.720 Look, brother, I think that there's – I think those are second-tier tits, brother, on a cousin. 1.00

00:55:30.180 That's second-tier tittery, baby. 0.99

00:55:31.820 That's nothing. 1.00

00:55:33.240 First-tier tits, that's mom tits. 1.00

00:55:35.300 And if you stare at your mom's tits for more than two seconds, you will be absorbed off of the face of the earth by Satan. 1.00

00:55:46.920 So that is hands down, no pass go or whatever, straight to hell. 1.00

00:55:55.040 So that is – that's the first rule.

00:55:57.300 Second, that mid-tier tit – mid-tier is sister, right?

00:56:01.580 Mid-tier is sister. 0.98

00:56:02.480 That's – sister's breasts, I think you can look at them probably maybe six to eight seconds. 1.00

00:56:11.100 You know what I'm saying? 0.91

00:56:12.020 Just enough to place first on a bull, you know?

00:56:15.420 You don't want to get crazy because there's – first of all, you're just – you're making sure everything's cool,

00:56:20.640 but you don't want to drop in on them, you know?

00:56:23.840 You want to keep your mouth closed when you look at them.

00:56:26.480 That's normal, I think. 0.94

00:56:27.920 Now, if you look at your sister's breasts and it's – and it doesn't feel like they're your sister's breasts,

00:56:35.900 then one of y'all's parents is lying, I think, about something. 0.99

00:56:41.840 You know, and then there's the cousin breasts or tits. 1.00

00:56:48.160 Some people call them tits and I don't – actually, I do a lot of times. 0.98

00:56:51.560 But, yeah, and now cousin breasts, yeah, I'd say 30 seconds, 25 to 30 seconds, 28 seconds. 1.00

00:57:03.940 Be cool.

00:57:06.060 Keep your sunglasses on.

00:57:07.760 Don't – that is a major no taking your glass – like keep your glasses on, guy, you know?

00:57:17.680 And then just offer to get everybody something to eat or whatever.

00:57:20.720 Be totally cool, helpful.

00:57:23.660 Don't be weird, brother.

00:57:27.640 But, yeah, you know, I think it's okay.

00:57:31.380 But that's it.

00:57:32.820 That's it.

00:57:36.380 So, what else do we got, man?

00:57:40.080 Some of this I forgot how to do, I feel like, but I'm going to get back in the swing of it.

00:57:43.840 So, my brain's starting to get a little tired.

00:57:48.000 I got a call right here that came in.

00:57:53.080 Hey, Theo.

00:57:54.060 My name is Wade.

00:57:56.280 What's up, Wade?

00:57:58.760 Man, thank you for calling, man.

00:58:00.300 I – excuse me.

00:58:03.280 I had – you know, when I was a kid, they had a kid in my class named Wade.

00:58:08.540 And he was a ginger.

00:58:10.180 And they didn't have – they didn't – I don't know if they even allowed a lot of gingers in our area, but he had gotten in. 0.99

00:58:17.740 And he was a neat guy, you know?

00:58:21.340 He had a beautiful sister.

00:58:24.120 Or she could have just been a sister.

00:58:25.660 It could have just been his sister, and she was just – I was at that age where if any – if a dude had a sister, it was like, she's beautiful, you know?

00:58:33.020 And I was the worst – I remember I just – God, at that age, I was the worst at talking to women. 1.00

00:58:40.860 I mean, and I still am, but at that time, I had really – my buddy would – like, if I had a friend who was like, hey, man, you should go talk to that girl.

00:58:48.040 I would immediately – not only would I not walk over and talk to the girl, I would run 15 miles in the other direction. 0.98

00:58:57.840 I would – and then when I got there, I would start writing letters to the girl and telling her how I missed her, and I wish things could be different and all.

00:59:06.040 Just – just – I was just – I've always been a bizarre relationshipist in a way.

00:59:16.380 I would be like, dude, that girl's looking at you.

00:59:18.600 You should go talk to her. 0.95

00:59:19.640 I would fucking take one step towards her, then 7,000 steps the other way, and then when I get over there, I start drawing paintings of her. 0.99

00:59:26.840 I'll take art classes, all that kind of shit, but yeah, I always had trouble talking to women. 1.00

00:59:31.980 But anyway, but now it's not as bad, but it's still not cool. 0.99

00:59:39.740 But Wade had a sister.

00:59:41.240 I don't remember her name. 0.97

00:59:42.300 I think she damn looked like him. 0.99

00:59:43.720 I don't even know, bro, but it didn't matter. 0.95

00:59:47.380 It didn't even damn matter, and Wade was cool.

00:59:52.640 He was interesting.

00:59:55.620 Pale, too.

00:59:56.740 God, so pale. 1.00

00:59:58.260 You could fucking see his heart trying. 1.00

01:00:02.020 Damn. 1.00

01:00:03.300 Some days you'd just be like, damn, you got to – you better pluck that thing a couple times. 0.99

01:00:08.760 Wade, we're about to play basketball. 0.99

01:00:10.360 You know, you're going to need it.

01:00:11.800 But anyway, go on, man. 0.99

01:00:14.340 I'm sorry I interrupted your call with my bullshit. 0.98

01:00:16.020 Let me start your call over a little. 0.97

01:00:17.520 My name is Wade.

01:00:19.060 I'm a college student.

01:00:21.560 You're a college student.

01:00:22.700 Okay, onward.

01:00:24.160 I don't mean to, like, bring you down or anything, but, you know, you were pretty real about your mental health and stuff.

01:00:32.580 And I just, you know, I'm just calling to kind of wonder if you ever felt like you were, like, just always fighting yourself.

01:00:40.340 And you just don't know why.

01:00:43.340 And you kind of just – but I just know I'm losing, you know, or you know you're losing.

01:00:48.960 Yeah, if I was always fighting myself and I didn't know why, but I was always losing.

01:00:57.920 Yeah, let me – let's hear more.

01:00:59.720 I just feel like I'm failing all the time.

01:01:01.460 And it's not that I don't talk about it, because I do talk about it, and people just tell me that, you know, I should go to the gym or I should try harder in school or I should do all this other stuff.

01:01:15.320 But I just fail all the time, and I don't know, man.

01:01:19.320 I just don't feel good.

01:01:20.460 I don't know.

01:01:20.640 Yeah, thanks for the call, man.

01:01:23.000 I appreciate it.

01:01:25.640 Yeah, I can relate in the way that – I just appreciate you caring about yourself enough to call and see what's going on and just share it.

01:01:36.260 You know, neither one of us probably has an answer, but we can share about what's going on.

01:01:41.040 And then at least now both of us – you know, if you're carrying a burden by yourself, if you share it with somebody else, now two people are carrying it.

01:01:50.640 You know, and it's lighter.

01:01:55.020 You know, I was always in conflict with myself.

01:01:57.900 Always.

01:01:58.380 If I was working, I wasn't – I should have been having fun, or I wasn't working hard enough.

01:02:03.140 If I was having fun, I'd be like, God, I got to – I got to go to work.

01:02:07.660 I never let myself win.

01:02:09.340 That's what I realized.

01:02:11.260 I never let myself win, so I was always in conflict.

01:02:15.240 Always.

01:02:16.420 I was never doing anything right.

01:02:18.260 And then I realized that I had – my perspective was off.

01:02:22.500 I had made unrealistic expectations for myself.

01:02:25.760 And I made unrealistic expectations for myself because if I could never get things right, then that means that I'm always wrong.

01:02:39.720 And if I'm always wrong, then that attaches to whatever my core belief about myself, one of my core beliefs, like something I think real deep down inside myself.

01:02:51.220 One of the things I thought was that I'm always wrong.

01:02:56.300 I can't do anything right.

01:02:57.800 I'm never enough, right?

01:02:59.500 Those were core beliefs that I had for me.

01:03:02.400 And so by having unrealistic expectations, I set myself up always to fail because I never could achieve my own expectations.

01:03:10.600 They were always impossible.

01:03:11.620 So then once I fail, which is all the time, it attaches back to the old feeling of, well, I'm not enough, right?

01:03:21.360 So then it's like almost a self-fulfilling prophecy in a way.

01:03:25.300 So I'm not saying that's what's going on with you, but if you're never enough for yourself, then you might want to look at – talk to a therapist about some of what your core beliefs are and how do you find out what those are because that's where I've had to start looking for myself.

01:03:45.840 And then also I think stay in action, like stay in action, like stay moving, whether it's that you jog or you go for a walk or if you'd like to go to the gym.

01:03:58.320 Those things are important because otherwise you get – like your body is sedentary, and if it's sedentary, you're going to be even more like glum and depressed.

01:04:06.840 It's so much easier for depression to like grow on you if you're not a moving target.

01:04:12.680 So staying in motion I think helps.

01:04:16.640 Not all the time.

01:04:17.600 Don't sleep on like a treadmill or anything, but just, you know, stay busy.

01:04:21.460 Keep your blood going.

01:04:25.940 Yeah, I don't know if that's helpful or not, but then it was like I wasn't always in conflict with myself because I would never let myself win.

01:04:33.360 That was the thing.

01:04:34.620 I was never good enough for myself, and no one else was ever good enough for me.

01:04:39.860 You know, I just had unrealistic expectations, man.

01:04:48.000 So I'm not feeling bad about it or anything.

01:04:49.700 I'm happy that I'm able to see it.

01:04:51.180 I haven't cured it for myself or anything like that, but I at least have a look at it now, and I'm at least now able to – when I pray, I'm able to ask God, say,

01:04:58.800 hey, God, you know, help me to see my unrealistic expectations, help me to make those more – bring those into the light for me so that I can see where they show up, you know?

01:05:08.000 Yeah, that's all I got, really, on that, man, and give yourself some grace, too.

01:05:16.380 Just don't be so hard on yourself, man.

01:05:18.500 I'm sure you're doing a lot, but – and don't get caught in self-pity.

01:05:22.200 That was something that happened to me for a long time.

01:05:24.940 I was in self-pity.

01:05:25.980 I always had a problem, and if I always have a problem and everything is wrong and everything, then that's self-pity because that's not the reality of things.

01:05:35.940 The reality of things is that there's possibility everywhere somehow, but if I'm always playing the victim to myself and stuff and when I'm talking with people, then it's like I'm getting into self-pity, and I'm not judging you with that.

01:05:52.120 I'm just saying just look out for it. 0.99

01:05:53.980 I fell into it for a long time, and fuck. 1.00

01:05:57.520 I was a fucking – had this shit all over my fucking knees, dude. 1.00

01:06:01.000 I was in self-pity so much, bro. 1.00

01:06:03.120 Damn dummy, but it's okay. 0.99

01:06:05.540 I didn't know, you know, and I'm just grateful now that I have a little bit more wherewithal when I see it, you know. 0.99

01:06:14.060 What else, man?

01:06:15.120 Can we get anything else?

01:06:16.100 That might be a lot for today.

01:06:20.840 Yeah, some of this is sold up, so I almost have to learn how to do it again, you know.

01:06:25.060 I'm sorry that I took so long off of it, but we just – there was just some other things to get in a row.

01:06:31.540 So, you know, we've been able to have more guests, and I want to be able to have people that I can learn from.

01:06:35.860 You know, sometimes it's nice to have people that I can laugh with, and sometimes it's nice to have people that I can learn from.

01:06:41.280 So, that's been cool.

01:06:45.780 You know, we have an anger guy coming up.

01:06:47.700 We had this episode with Tim Fletcher that was really interesting.

01:06:52.240 And then there's just been a lot of stuff going on in the background of just trying to figure things out, trying to grow up, you know.

01:07:03.220 I've always been kind of like a late bloomer, I think, and – yeah, and just finding out how do I get to – how do I – you know, one day I'd like to be in a successful relationship, and it's something that I've always struggled with.

01:07:18.620 And I'm okay.

01:07:20.680 I'm not complaining about it.

01:07:21.680 I'm just looking at it, right?

01:07:24.060 I'm looking at it, and I'm looking to see do I want to really do the work that it's going to take to get myself into a place to be good at something like that.

01:07:33.600 Because it's practice.

01:07:34.560 It's all – not actual practice with someone, but, I mean, it is some of that for me, but it's like just creating a level of integrity with myself.

01:07:46.360 So that I'm only putting myself in scenarios that are – have a lot of upside and value, you know.

01:07:56.920 And you can't always know off the bat, but sometimes you know, like, oh, this isn't, you know, this isn't really – this isn't going to make me feel anything but maybe bad, you know.

01:08:07.780 So, what else?

01:08:12.080 Anything in the news?

01:08:13.620 You know, they just had the Kyle.

01:08:16.280 They were trying to have the most Kyles ever in Kyle, Texas.

01:08:20.200 So, I want to jump on the line with – I want to get on the line here with a Kyle who was there.

01:08:28.660 You know, apparently they came up a little bit short over there.

01:08:30.980 Let me see the number they were trying to get.

01:08:32.860 But, well, I guess we can learn it all about here from this Kyle right here.

01:08:36.180 I want to talk to this Kyle, and this is a Kyle, and he was at the Kyle Fest 2024 over in Kyle, Texas, which is only about 20 miles from here in Austin.

01:08:51.820 And so, I'm really interested in seeing how that went and what went on down there.

01:08:56.000 This right here, we have Kyle Garcia, if he's available here, Kyle Garcia.

01:09:02.020 Hey, Kyle.

01:09:03.840 Hi.

01:09:04.780 Hey, brother.

01:09:05.340 Can you see me?

01:09:06.960 I can see you.

01:09:07.980 Nice, man.

01:09:08.700 Thank you for your patience.

01:09:10.360 And I can hear you, yeah, for sure.

01:09:11.980 No worries.

01:09:12.980 Excellent.

01:09:13.620 And so, you attended the Kyle Fest over there in Kyle, Texas.

01:09:18.260 Yeah.

01:09:18.580 It was the craziest, most Kyle-charged weekend I've ever spent.

01:09:25.580 It was really cool.

01:09:26.660 And what was the goal of the festival, just so we know?

01:09:30.880 For sure.

01:09:31.500 So, I think there's a current world record of the most amount of people with the same name in Bosnia with the name Ivan.

01:09:42.380 And that's, like, something in the 2100, 2200, something like that.

01:09:48.340 Okay.

01:09:48.820 So, in order to beat that record, we needed 22-something hundred Kyles.

01:09:55.540 And we fell a little short, but we had a lot of fun.

01:09:59.080 And this was the second year they did it?

01:10:02.140 I think they've been doing it for four or five years now.

01:10:05.740 And from what I understand, the last year was their biggest turnout.

01:10:10.940 And that's actually the year that I found out about it.

01:10:13.660 Okay.

01:10:13.960 Last year's turnout was 1400.

01:10:16.660 And this year's turnout was 706, officially.

01:10:20.660 Oh.

01:10:21.740 Yeah.

01:10:22.520 So, not as many Kyles.

01:10:23.720 Were you expecting a larger amount of Kyles?

01:10:28.260 I was thinking it was going to happen.

01:10:30.900 I didn't really, you know, the reason I went is because the place I work at, there's three Kyles of us together.

01:10:39.560 So, I felt emboldened.

01:10:41.460 I felt like, all right, we might actually get this done.

01:10:43.620 It might be part of world history to some extent.

01:10:46.580 So, I didn't think it would be half.

01:10:50.300 Did you go as a group, you three Kyles?

01:10:53.140 Oh, I solo tripped.

01:10:54.640 The other Kyles, you know, couldn't make it.

01:10:56.720 But I knew about it for a while.

01:10:58.240 I knew about it since last year, and I feel like I was the only Kyle that was, like, kind of eyeing it.

01:11:03.300 Wow.

01:11:04.120 Okay.

01:11:04.540 And so, what were some of the festivities when you got down there?

01:11:07.740 Were there, was there, like, a Pledge of Allegiance?

01:11:10.940 Was there, were you guys winning, like, a pickleball or any?

01:11:15.620 The coolest thing, there was a drone show on the final night.

01:11:20.880 And that was my first time seeing a drone show.

01:11:23.880 So, it was really cool to go out and see that.

01:11:25.980 And actually, yeah, from Friday to Sunday, there was live music.

01:11:30.440 There were two stages, which I thought was pretty cool.

01:11:33.500 And it was all free, free to attend.

01:11:36.880 Wow.

01:11:37.100 You didn't have to be a Kyle to, like, participate, you know, to take part, to get food and drinks, you know, to have fun.

01:11:44.020 So, it was really cool.

01:11:44.960 So, and someone said Kyle Rittenhouse was there.

01:11:48.080 Was that, is that?

01:11:50.160 Let's see.

01:11:50.760 I, I didn't, I didn't catch or, you know, hear any famous Kyles come through.

01:11:56.860 I, I, I wish there were more Kyles.

01:12:00.920 I think we just generally wanted more Kyles.

01:12:03.220 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:12:04.840 You have to feel like you want to get as much Kyles as you can.

01:12:07.760 And do you blame, was there a reason you think in hindsight, like, okay, this would have led us to more Kyles.

01:12:14.360 This is why we fell short.

01:12:16.620 Yeah, like, we talked about it.

01:12:18.040 We discussed it, like, why, you know, what, what we think is what happened.

01:12:21.420 And, and I think the general consensus is maybe marketing had something to do with it, advertising, maybe a certain amount of advertising was needed to, you know, get everyone's attention, to keep it on everyone's mind, you know, maybe like a certain influencer, you know, probably could have pushed things along more.

01:12:39.880 I know that the city put a lot of effort into it, you know, I mean, with the drone show in two stages, you know, it was really cool.

01:12:46.960 Yeah.

01:12:47.040 Um, but yeah, I feel like, uh, word of mouth really goes a long way in sort of, in a sense like this.

01:12:53.300 Yeah.

01:12:53.980 Well, next year we'll have to read some ads or something, do something we can to try to support these Kyles.

01:12:58.420 And, um, what type of, was it all men?

01:13:01.440 Are there women Kyles allowed as well? 1.00

01:13:03.460 Do you see any?

01:13:05.700 They were married Kyles.

01:13:07.460 Um, there were, uh, there were Kyles of all sorts.

01:13:11.700 Um, what was really cool was to see, um, really small, tiny, teeny, tiny toddler Kyles, you know, baby Kyles, you know, um, it was, it was, it was awesome.

01:13:22.000 It was really cool.

01:13:22.540 I never met so many Kyles, you know, uh, felt like a, a kinship.

01:13:26.800 Oh, it did feel like that.

01:13:29.080 Yeah.

01:13:29.580 Yeah.

01:13:29.800 It felt cool.

01:13:30.660 It, I mean, the hardest part was, you know, um, hearing your name, you turn your head that, that, that was the hardest part.

01:13:37.040 The head turning part.

01:13:38.380 Someone says a nice hat, Kyle, or, uh, I'm looking for Kyle or, you know, uh, you're in big trouble, Kyle.

01:13:44.980 And we're all like, yes, ma'am.

01:13:46.560 Yeah.

01:13:47.740 Or this is your baby, Kyle.

01:13:49.860 Yeah.

01:13:51.800 But, um, that's what was part of the fun, you know?

01:13:55.020 Oh, that's super enjoyable.

01:13:56.660 And was there a lot of, is it a place where is there a lot of like, um, did it seem like a hot bed?

01:14:03.980 I was reading somewhere online that it seemed like a hot bed of like, kind of like men meeting men.

01:14:09.840 Was there any of that energy there?

01:14:11.200 Do you feel like any dating kind of vibes?

01:14:14.900 You know, um, I feel like I wouldn't want to find the, the, the love of my life with also the same name, you know?

01:14:23.060 Kyle meeting Kyle.

01:14:25.040 Um, and, and to be honest, yeah, I guess I definitely saw the ratio.

01:14:30.240 So I guess I saw more guy Kyles, you know, and, um, I, but to be completely honest with you, I wasn't, I wasn't really going.

01:14:37.960 I was all by myself, you know, solo tripping and, and, um, it was my first time out in Texas.

01:14:44.280 Wow.

01:14:44.980 Um, there was so much to do, you know?

01:14:47.320 Um, and so, and everyone was awesome.

01:14:49.980 Everyone was really nice and friendly and welcoming too.

01:14:52.020 So, yeah, yeah.

01:14:53.820 I was just wondering if it was like a hot bed for kind of gay activity or anything like that because it was all men, you know? 1.00

01:15:00.360 I just sometimes wonder that, but yeah, I've, um. 0.75

01:15:04.760 I met some really cool guy Kyles for sure.

01:15:07.240 Uh, I mean, like, um, there were, there were some well-traveled Kyles.

01:15:10.600 Um, there were Kyles with like three jobs, you know, um, Las Vegas was really cool.

01:15:16.540 Las Vegas Kyle was trying to, uh, get, get people together for like bar hopping in Austin, you know?

01:15:22.420 Okay.

01:15:22.740 Really, really cool.

01:15:23.600 So they had party Kyles, they had busy Kyles, they had any, any wheelchair Kyles, any Kyles on crutches?

01:15:31.000 You know, I, I will say there was one, um, Kyle in a, uh, in a chair being walked by his family and that was really cool.

01:15:41.080 Yeah.

01:15:41.480 Yeah.

01:15:42.020 So every, so this was, everybody was welcome.

01:15:44.420 Everybody was.

01:15:45.340 Yeah, every Kyle came through.

01:15:46.480 Wow.

01:15:47.400 What about the oldest Kyle?

01:15:48.800 Did you see, did you guys find out who the oldest Kyle was?

01:15:52.240 Oh, well, you know, what's funny is that, um, I mean, while I was in Kyle, Texas, uh, they, they had a, uh, a 5k going on.

01:16:01.000 A free 5k going on.

01:16:03.220 Um, and I took part in that and they did, you know, congratulate some, some Kyles over there.

01:16:08.200 Um, the fastest Kyle, I think the oldest Kyle and, and, you know, we had some, some pretty senior runners up there too.

01:16:14.300 Yeah.

01:16:15.240 Um, you know, it was a real memorable weekend.

01:16:20.560 Yeah.

01:16:21.000 Because when is there something like this, you know, that's, what's so intriguing to me.

01:16:25.020 Would you go back again?

01:16:26.940 Yeah.

01:16:28.720 Honestly, um, if I was more sure, if I was more confident that we would break a world record, yeah, I'd be down to go.

01:16:36.480 But honestly, um, I had so much fun that I'd probably want to revisit Texas, revisit Austin again, and then maybe stop over in Kyle.

01:16:44.640 Yeah.

01:16:45.080 Just to reminisce about it.

01:16:47.940 Yeah.

01:16:48.460 Yeah.

01:16:49.500 Wow.

01:16:50.160 Well, um, and where do you, yeah, where do you travel from Kyle?

01:16:55.460 Oh, so I heard about this all the way from New York.

01:16:58.940 Oh, wow.

01:17:00.960 And did you travel by plane or train or how did you get there?

01:17:04.980 Um, plane, uh, I think plane would have been the easiest thing just for this weekend.

01:17:09.140 You know, I'm, I'm currently back to work, you know, so, uh, it was, it was nice coming into Austin and leaving from Austin.

01:17:17.440 It was smooth.

01:17:18.680 Um, you know, the time difference wasn't too bad.

01:17:21.040 Uh, the big difference was the heat for sure.

01:17:23.760 Yeah.

01:17:24.800 Yeah.

01:17:25.160 It's hot down here.

01:17:25.820 I'm in Austin right now.

01:17:26.840 Oh, we've just been here.

01:17:27.580 And so I'd been hearing about the Kyle fest and I've been on stage this weekend.

01:17:31.140 There's a lot of different Kyle's popping up and non Kyle's and people accusing each other of being like fake Kyle.

01:17:37.680 There's all types of like, um, yeah, I'm with Kyle, you know, a lot.

01:17:45.280 Yes.

01:17:45.780 A lot of stuff like that.

01:17:46.960 So, um, yeah, it's just been a fascinating week to be so close to this, this, um, kind of flocking of the Kyles, you know?

01:17:57.600 Yeah.

01:17:58.120 I mean, uh, I thought it was like this funny little silly idea and then, you know, I just sort of chased after it and I had the time of my life.

01:18:07.280 Good for you, man.

01:18:08.240 It just shows, I think just going and doing something is really what it's all about.

01:18:11.720 You know, that's the big thing.

01:18:13.200 Just saying, Hey, I'm going to try this.

01:18:14.680 Yeah.

01:18:15.080 Did you leave feeling like I'm glad I tried it?

01:18:18.080 Come back with some stories.

01:18:19.500 Yeah.

01:18:19.780 Definitely happy.

01:18:20.600 I did it like no regrets.

01:18:21.820 Yeah.

01:18:22.540 And, um, you know, traveling is, is really great like that.

01:18:25.620 A hundred percent.

01:18:27.740 Kyle's all Kyle's welcome.

01:18:30.180 Um, they did the best that they could.

01:18:32.480 Kyle Garcia from New York.

01:18:34.040 Thank you so much for your time, man.

01:18:35.300 I really appreciate it.

01:18:37.180 Appreciate you.

01:18:37.960 Thank you.

01:18:38.740 All right, brother.

01:18:39.280 See you in the future.

01:18:39.920 Right there.

01:18:41.500 You heard it.

01:18:42.940 Even Kyle's can't even get on the same page. 0.93

01:18:46.660 And it could be even a hotbed for a homosexuality over there. 1.00

01:18:50.900 Everything in the world now turns into a pizza hut or a men's kind of gay meetup. 1.00

01:18:58.180 It feels like, and that's just what's going on.

01:19:01.600 And, and, and that's time brother.

01:19:03.720 That's, that's us traveling through time and experimenting with the buffet of existence.

01:19:12.000 Something else, isn't it?

01:19:13.840 Um, and just remember we may be in the time of the merging.

01:19:17.420 If things feel weird, if things feel obtuse, you don't know what's going on.

01:19:23.020 We may be in the merging.

01:19:25.520 Remember that.

01:19:26.880 When you see an animal with a sunroof. 0.98

01:19:29.200 When you see a butt with some titties on it or whatever. 0.89

01:19:33.200 When you see a goose. 0.99

01:19:36.420 That.

01:19:38.500 Is.

01:19:38.980 Working at a chevron.

01:19:42.400 When you see anything.

01:19:44.720 That's different.

01:19:46.120 When you see a daycare suddenly selling.

01:19:49.460 Is, is also a lens crafters.

01:19:51.620 You know, it's all, it's emerging.

01:19:54.240 Right?

01:19:55.220 It's emerging.

01:19:56.300 Just recognize we're in emerging.

01:19:58.500 When you see one person that is, has three different sexes in them. 1.00

01:20:03.320 It's emerging.

01:20:05.180 I think that's what's going on.

01:20:06.860 So.

01:20:07.660 Just be cognizant.

01:20:09.300 I believe that we're in emerging and it's okay. 0.99

01:20:12.560 You know, just get, get a shamrock shake or get a damn McDouble and just chill. 0.98

01:20:18.000 You know, we're going to make it. 0.99

01:20:20.280 Um, what else?

01:20:22.820 That's all I got, man.

01:20:24.100 I appreciate it.
