Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. I wish that I have to. I didn't resisted for so long the need to change.

We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Saigon, the story of my family and of the country. that shaped us. From IHeart Podcasts, Saigon.

You don't think I'm serious about a free Vietnam? One city, a divided country, and the war that tore America apart. It's for Vietnam. They're pouring patril all over here. Freedom for Vietnam! There's a fire coming to this country, and it's going to burn out everything. Listen to Saigon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Sunday Sampler.

a bunch of clips from a bunch of the podcasts. On the Bobbycast, Eddie, Mike D and myself talk about a bunch of different topics like real songs from fake bands, like TV bands, like the Zach Attack, that's fake band. But they didn't have a song that was kind of pretty good. Also, Dr. Josie on her show in the Vets Office, she talked with Dr. Shake Chatterjee, a veterinarian, but also a villain on a reality TV show, which is Love is Blind. So it's got to be weird, like you're a real vet, but also you're a villain on a reality show. They talk about that, exotic animals and a bunch more. So let's get started with a clip from

in the vet's office with Dr. Josie. You're listening to In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie Horchak. So one of the big questions I had for you is what was it like coming off? Love is Blind or the villains and going back into practice. I don't think it's like any secret that you weren't at the top of everyone's nice list coming off these shows. Were clients, did they recognize you? Did anyone say anything. How was that? Yeah, so it's interesting. I just opened up about this really recently, something I didn't really feel like talking about when I was going through it. But as soon as the show came out and I kind of became this villain. And let me also say, you know, these shows that edit you to make you look a certain way. Everybody kind of has this idea in the

back their mind that that happens, but not until you go through it that you realize just how much they can twist things and take things out of context and so on and so forth. So not only was I the villain, but I wasn't able to talk about what happened because we signed all these contracts, say, hey, whatever comes out on the show, like you have to go along with it. And if you speak out against it, they're like, we're going to sue you and blah, blah, blah. So not only could I speak out against it, but also I didn't even feel like, you know, people wanted me to apologize. And I'm like, I'm not going to apologize.

That didn't do anything. You know what I mean? Like the show made me look a certain way. I'm not going to apologize for something I didn't do or, you know, to the extent that I was portrayed. And that made people even more mad because I'm like, unapologize. about it. So what happened is the clinic that I worked at in Chicago got review bombed by strangers on the internet. Really? And I got, I got let go. So this happened within, you know, two months

of the show coming out. So I didn't get to even experience much of clients recognizing me or anything. I was, it was a corporate practice and one of the big corporations. I don't want to say who it was, but it was one of the big corporations. And, you know, first they put me on like a leave, like a paid leave. And I was like, all right, sweet. I'm just going to go to Miami then, I guess. You know, and just like hang out during this paid leave. But, you know, obviously I didn't have a good feeling about it.

I'm like, why am I being put on this paid leave? And I remember I was at the pool one day and I get a call from, I guess, one of the HR people or, you know, somebody higher up in the corporate. And they basically told me like, hey, you know, what they call it, an involuntary separation. I'm like, okay, that's a fancy way of saying I'm fired because of these. The reality show. And I can't blame them. I can't be med at the corporation even because who would want that? You know, it's not good for business.

Yeah, that brings up a really interesting point that I think about a lot. And vet, met met especially, is how dependent these clinics are on reviews, customer reviews, on Google and Yelp. I feel like I know that when I owned a practice, I checked them every single day. And bad reviews are really detrimental. for business. I don't know that other health care providers have that same, you know, that they worry about them as much as we do. Not to the same extent. I mean, I think reviews are

important for most industries, but some industries, like you said, rely on them and focus on them a lot more. But, you know, it worked out really great for me in the long run because I had gotten this really big signing bonus just like maybe even like six months before the show came out. Like big, big signing bonus. Like I didn't even, this was like, you know, around COVID time when vets

were like really in demand. So like close to a year's salary type of signing bonus. And I was like, okay, well, what happens with the signing bonus then? Like I didn't leave. You're telling me to leave.

And they're like, oh, you're going to have to, you're going to have to give it back. And I was just like, I can't. Like, I spend it. I spent it. And then ultimately, I had a lawyer review everything and send them a letter. And my lawyer said,

just don't pay them back. And if they'll want to do something, they'll do something. And, you know, they didn't do anything. So I took that sign on bonus. And I was loving Miami so much that I was like, you know what? I'm just going to move down here.

you know? So I had a little period there where, you know, thankfully, I didn't have to work because of this nice bonus that I had. So I had a lot of fun. And then, and frankly, I just started missing being in practice because that's, you know, that was my whole life, really. Yeah, I was DJ too and had my fun things. But, you know, we go to a lot of school.

I mean, being a vet is more than just a profession for most of us, right? It's something that, you know, is like a part of it. Right. Yeah, exactly. So I was like, you know what, let me get my floor in a license. And the demand for vets down here is just as high as everywhere else in the country, right? So, and I had never worked in this urgent care environment before. So I didn't realize how much I was going to like that.

the pay is better too as an urgent care bet because not everybody wants to work those long hours but if they find somebody that will Do you have clients down there that recognize you from TV? Oh, that's the other thing. While people in Chicago were like shunning me, Miami just welcomed me with open arms.

They just love me down here. And I even felt that, you know, before I started working down here, I just felt it socially. because, you know, my season of Lois Blind was filmed in Chicago. I was the villain. A lot of people switched up on me. You know what I mean?

Yeah. And people that knew me switched up on me. And I was like, all right, this is, this is full, you know. And then I come down to Miami and all of a sudden they're like, oh, my God, we love you. Like come to this yacht party. Come to this penthouse party. And I was like, this is where I belong, you know? Miami's, you know, my kind of place.

So really, it seems like you're handling it pretty well, like being labeled a villain. I would say that veterinarians, just inherently we are kind of people pleasers for the most part. Do you feel like at any point where you're like, wow, this sucks. Like I wish I had never gone on this show. Are you just like, this is it? This is what it is. No, actually, I never, never for a second about that. because the hate and most of that was all online.

In person is a hold of my story. You're like the man of the hour. And especially here in Miami, even though some of this was editing and portrayal, even that negatively portrayed version of me, they love that here in Miami. They loved it, you know? Like, come on down.

I have the list of things that you do when the year starts for good luck, like things you eat. Okay. And I bring this up because one of my good friends has Ben Rector, super talented artist, good friend, great guy. Every year his wife sends over a thing of Black IPs and she drives them around to like their friends. Really? It has for like three or four years and we get the Black IPs, we eat them day one. We didn't make the Black IP list this year. Oh.

And I don't know. Do you think you did something to not make that list? I don't know. I don't know if they didn't do it. I can text them. and ask him. Yeah, yeah. Hey, man, I didn't get my black eyed peas this year. I will text him, and then we'll talk in it if he sends a message back. I'll voice a moment. Hello, it's Bobby and Eddie.

What's up, Ben? And we're recording a podcast, and we're talking about the new year and how traditionally eat black eyed peas. And I told them about how your wife would bring us black eyed peas every year the past few years, and we'd eat them. It's awesome. We had a great year because of that. And this year, we did not get the black eyep peas, and we didn't know if we didn't make the cut like we weren't on the list anymore like we felt in the rankings or if it was just a bad year for black eyed peas maybe she didn't make any right we're just curious because we're talking about you and we're talking about oh how wonderfully talented you are and your music is so great but then i was like i didn't get my black eyep peas now i'm not asking for the black eyed peas

but what i'm wondering is did we not make the cut or did she not make the peas both are acceptable seasons change so let me know we're we're recording for the the next little bit. If you do hear this, have a great day, man, unless we didn't make the list and have a moderately good day. What are black-eyed peas? Like, like, what do they taste like? Like, what are they? I don't know if I've ever had black-eyed peas. No way. Nah, really, I don't think that I've ever eaten black-eyed peas. I've definitely never ordered them at a restaurant, so I know that for sure. You don't order them at restaurants. I mean, even at black-eyed peas? My grandma liked them. It's a very southern thing, which I guess it's not

really a Mexican thing? No. So she would make black apis. They feel pretty bitter. Okay. They're like, if I were to make an analogy, you know Brussels sprouts. Yeah.

By themselves, kind of bitter. Like if you do nothing to Brussels sprouts, kind of bitter, kind of weird. But if you put bacon on them and honey and Brussels sprouts became kind of trendy for a while because of all the things you could do with them. Sure, a little soy sauce. Black IPs are kind of like that. But black IPs, a member of the Lagoon family,

has a pale cream color and distinctive black spot resembling an eye. They are thought to have originated in North Africa where they've been eating for centuries. They were introduced by North America by Spanish explorers. They are now grown throughout the world, especially in American southern cooking. Collard greens, black-eyed peas, like that kind of stuff, cornbread. My grandma was a big black-eyed pea person. Really? So they just look like beans.

Yeah, with a little black eye. Like that? Is that it? That's exactly it. Okay. Do you eat them like beans? Do you just kind of... Yeah, they're wet. A bowl and a spoon?

it's almost like black-eyed peas you can have them with the again, I'm gonna be way wrong, but you can have them like in the broth, it's not quite soup but it's wet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you can just drain them completely, but we had black-eyed peas once every couple weeks. But for New Year, and so I have this list

of the reasons why things are for good luck. And so number two is pork. From the Midwest to Germany to Eastern Europe, many people believe pork symbolizes progress because pigs root forward as they eat. Yeah, they stick their noses in the ground and eat. This protein is often paired with cabbage or sauerkraut,

but the reason it is considered luck is because pigs push forward, and they think if you eat a pig who pushes forward, you will also push forward. In the year. Yes, it's lucky. Number three, grapes. Eat 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve for luck. Also, prosperity could be in your future.

This is according to the Spanish. originating in Spain in the late 1800s, this tradition is known as Come on, you can do it. Las doche uvas de la Suerte. Okay. How would you say that? Say it again?

Las deuce, what is it? Las de la suerte. Okay, that's like the good luck midnight grapes. How would you say that with the accent proper? I don't even remember what you say. It's like la, it's like la duce.

La doce is the midnight, the 12. I'll blow it up so you can see it. So la 12 uvas. Oh, the 12 grapes of good luck. That's what it is. Say it. Las 12 uvas de la Suerte.

Okay. Yeah, the 12 grapes of luck. Good luck. Each of the dozen grapes represents a month of the year. Oh, 12 grapes. That's why it's 12. That makes sense. I remember Morgan number two eating grapes under her table at New Year's, and I didn't

know where that, but now I see words from. Interesting. Is she Spanish? I think the opposite, actually. Because it's a Spanish tradition. I think so the opposite. Number four, greens, as in collared greens, any leafy vegetables. And what do those taste like?

Not great. Like green beans? No, I like green beans better than collard greens. Collar greens are good if they're cooked in something. Like my grandma made a bunch of collard greens, but it was always cooked in like a grease or something that made it actually tastes better. Because just the collard green itself, the texture is kind of rough. The category of leafy vegetables, stink collard greens, kale,

resembles paper money. This is why greens are lucky. Since it looks like money, eating them is thought to encourage prosperity, a tradition with roots in the African, I don't know this word, diaspora. La dosse. Yeah, exactly. And the Civil War, they often serve with black-eyed peas, which may represent coins. As if that's not enough, eating a plate full of greens will start your year on a healthy note. Interesting. Okay, that's four. And number five, pomegranates. Pomegranates are good. I do like pomegranates. Have you eaten the fruit? I've only drank the juice.

Yeah, sometimes I'll get pomegranates in a plastic case. Okay. And just eat them. With the seeds and everything? Well, they are the seeds. Yeah, I see them at the store and I've seen them like cut in half, but I've never really... Oh, I'm not talking about the big ones. And I'm talking about...

They're the pomegranate seeds, I think, that you can eat. Oh, okay. Okay, yeah, those are the seeds. Yeah. And they're like jelly? They kind of like soft? So I will eat those. I've never eaten a full pomegranate, I don't think.

In Greece, it's tradition to smash a pomegranate by the front door on New Year's Day. The more seeds that spread out, the more fortune you can expect. In Judaism, pomegranates are said to contain 613 seeds, which is the number of commandments in the Torah. At Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, each pomegranate seed represents a wish for the coming year. In Brazil, people eat pomegranate seeds in groups of seven, a lucky number meant for financial prosperity.

So it seems like pomegranates have slowly distributed themselves in different ways throughout the world to mean different things. Good for them. They've really expanded their footprint on the luck. You should try that, though. You should go around smashing pomegranates in front of people's doors. My wife would be so pissed.

There's pomegranates all over the front door. So that, and Ben has not messaged me back yet. Uh-oh. But that's what I was thinking about. He did listen to the message, though. Maybe he's conversing with his wife like, hey, why didn't they make the list? Did you make any?

Did they do something? Does he know anybody else that got him so we need to say we didn't make them so it doesn't come back to bite us in the butt? A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me.

Cliver Taylor the fourth. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinnfield. And in this new season of the girlfriends, oh my God, this is the same man. A group.

A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target.

He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have... like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.

We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures,

it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids.

They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Food for your soul, man. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful. It's pretty beautiful. Laugh a little more thing. Tighten up.

Be cool. Said E.K. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown. Today's episode is all about exploring shedding what no longer serves us. I've got an email from a listener that is so inspiring. She sheds so much of herself. She doesn't even recognize herself.

And I'm not talking about looks-wise and talking about inside internally. For me, I'm going to talk about Botox and facial fitness. Also, I've personally made a decision to quit taking certifying. medications that are not needed for me. They're not life-saving in any way, shape, or form. Always consult a doctor if you're considering this. I certainly have. And then we're going to wrap things up with a quote that will help you kick off 2025 if you're looking to be more in alignment and you're looking for growth. So let's get started. So I got one of the best emails ever of my entire radio career. The email fits the

theme of shedding things because you're about to hear that, well, when I read it, that this listener has been in the process of shedding her old self, her old ways, and she's been so successful at it that she barely recognizes how she used to be. Now, before I read it, it's probably helpful for me to set up that over Christmas break, I had a few episodes that were what we call best ofs or reruns because, well, vacation. So keep that in mind when you hear the email. Okay, this is from a listener named Kristen, and here's what she sent in. Hey, I was nonchalantly making dinner on a Thursday evening and catching up on the Four Things podcast and played the newest one. All of a sudden, I hear a story about a runner with an eating disorder. It took a few seconds to realize it was my story. Fast forward two years, and I hardly

recognize that person. I was journaling this morning about how far I've come with my eating disorder and anxiety in the past two years. It's the holiday season and I didn't spend the whole time analyzing caloric content or having near panic attacks thinking about being out of my normal routine. I'm buying new clothes without worrying about the size. I'm still a runner and care about my health, but I have freedom in those feelings. I still have thoughts about my body, but don't think about restricting and remind myself how happy I am now. It was meant to be that this episode was replayed so that I can really see how far I've come. In the last two years, I've gone on countless trips to see friends and family, including four international trips, one being

completely solo, for two weeks. I am learning to find the joy in the now. I'm single, I'm a 34-year-old woman who is over dating apps, and I am open to, to what the next minute, day, or year brings me. After hearing that episode again, I felt like I had to reach out and just say, thanks, one more time. Happy holidays to you and your family, your friend, Kristen. So there you go. That's Kristen's email. And Kristen, if you're listening right now, thank you so much for sending this update. You sharing your story and then me revisiting it here now, being able to read this email, I know is going to encourage and inspire and impact another listener somewhere. And congratulations on living in the now, finding the joy in the now, and being curious

and excited about what's next. In the next minute, the next day or the next year, I love that you wrote that part and that you got to listen to the rerun. And I really need to travel, seeing that you've gone on four international trips in two years and one being completely solo for two weeks. I'm jealous. It's awesome. Thanks, Kristen. All right, I touched on this on Tuesday with Kat during the fifth thing, but I'm cutting back on Botox this year. And I'm giving facial fitness a try. If you're not familiar with facial fitness, maybe you've seen it labeled as face yoga or maybe even face Pilates. or face gymnastics, but it's all about strengthening the muscles in your face, similar to how we exercise other parts of our body.

Now, some of it is about working the muscles, and then there's other areas that you really want to just relax. So some of the exercises feel like a workout, and you're like, oh, wow, I can really feel that. And other stuff just feels so good. Like you're giving yourself this little massage every day. And I've just been doing different videos on YouTube. I'll link a few of them in the show notes if you all want to give them a

try. It's been an adjustment for sure working this into my routine and it's a process. You do have to do it every day. So I'll share updates as I go. But I'm looking forward to exploring this path and seeing where it takes me. Some of my friends have asked like, why in the world are you doing this? Especially my kids when they see me in the mirror doing it. But I'm enjoying it so far and I'm curious. I think that's that's the best thing. I don't really talk to my kids about the Botox part, but my friends that have been asking. I'm like, yeah, you know, I do love me some Botox. And honestly, I will likely still get more in the future. I just want to sort of get it out and then assess things and do a reset of sorts. Like see the true baseline again and then maybe add to it with more intention with the theme

being less is more. And I want to reset because I've had several conversations, even with people that administer Botox about the amount going in our faces and it eventually having the reverse effect on us as we get older. So I just want to be thoughtful about the amount being injected. We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three, sore losers. What up, everybody. I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I'll give you the sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius. Y'all, it's Sisson. I'm from the north.

I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Beazer, my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful. A lot of acreage. No animals. A lot of crops, hopefully soon. Corn, pumpkins.

Rye, I believe. Maybe a little fescue. To be determined. Over to you, Coach. And here's a clip from this week's episode of the store losers. Right, you know what we never talked about? Yeah. It's when we went to the Brett Eldridge show over the Christmas break.

Yeah, it doesn't work because Christmas is over. Yeah, yeah, I know. But there was a couple of funny moments. I mean, we went, first we went to dinner, had a little Mexican food, had some margaritas. And that was fun and all. It was great. They weren't great. Well, it was great that your wife got a reservation because I was thinking, oh, we'll just walk in and get a table.

And it'll be no problem. We walked into that restaurant. I've never seen anything more crowded in my life. That one's gotten a little bit more popping. Yeah. since I was down there. It's because it's at the epicenter of everything. You're right.

It's right downtown. I should have known better. But I'm glad your wife thought of reservations because at me, I was like, we don't need a reservation. It's not that big a deal. But it was great. Then we go to the show and we meet up with Kevin and we meet up with Pitts and they're sitting in a different section.

Ray sitting in a different section than us. And I'm like, let's just go into this one section. Look at all these seats here. And we sit down on these empty rows because the whole section is empty. Hold on. Is this worthy of a camera? No, no, no. I don't think it's worthy of a camera.

It's Ray being a little bit nervous. It was Ray just going, man, I don't like this. I don't like sitting here. Why? He goes, man, people are going to come. The people are going to come for these seats. And I'm just like, dude, if they come, there are three rows all around us that are wide open. They can just sit in one of the, and he's like, yeah, this isn't right, man.

I think we should probably just go to our seats. Me and Bay are just going to go to our seats. I'm like, would you just calm down for a minute? And he's like, every person that walks down that stair, man, they're looking at us going, those are our seats. I know it. I know we're in someone's seats. So we're sitting there and some people come and they sit a row in front of us and there's like four of them and there's four of us and they're sitting there. Here comes Kevin and Pitts.

They're hanging out. We're chatting. And this guy, what I don't understand is he wants to go get a drink. so he could just go through his three people that he's with and go to the aisle and go up and get a dream. Instead, he climbs over two rows of seats. He did. Because he doesn't want to inconvenience his friends to stand up so he can go out. So he climbs up two rows to where we are and then goes out that way.

And of course, me being a smart ass, I remember what you hit him with? We got a climber! We got a climber! We got a climber! There's nothing as a man more emasculating than trying. Because when you're climbing over a row, you're kind of vulnerable. Your nuts are exposed. You kind of look like a doofus. You look like an idiot.

And then somebody's yelling, we got a climber. I mean, talk about just making the dude look like an idiot. You got to worry about your pants ripping, your foot getting caught in the cup holder. You got all sorts of things that could go wrong. You got drinks. And he just, he doesn't even, the guy doesn't laugh. looks pissed off, then I'm yelling, we got a climber! We got a climber! And we're falling out, dude. That was hilarious. If somebody ever tries to climb over your row, pull that one,

because I'm telling you, it's a good laugh. Hopefully they don't kick your ass. And most of the times, your friends are going to laugh, and they're going to feel really stupid and awkward, and that's what we did. And I don't understand why he climbed up two rows to go out when he could have just had his friends stand up. I understand if it's like strangers and you don't want to inconvenience the strangers because there's a hundred of them, and you're going through the whole row. It was your set of friends. But anyway, Ray was right.

Someone came and sat in our seats. They're like, hey, you're in our seats. And we had to move. And then... Yeah, I'll hang up and listen on that one because eventually I knew it was going to come. I think it was a little gun shy because there was a person that came up and I immediately stood up. Oh, he pucker and he stood up and they're like... But then it was like...

They're like, oh, we're way down there on the floor. Yeah. And Ray was like, okay, sat back down. The lady at the seat helper totally misdirected her. So that was on them. But yes, I knew it. was eventually going to come, and it did, and I was like, thank you. Yep.

My work is done here. So we moved to another section. We sit on a row. We're sitting there. And Glow is a Christmas show, guys. Brett Eldridge comes out. He's Mr. Christmas. He sings these Christmas songs.

Don't know the names of them, but he sang them and he sang them fine. He sang them great. It was cool. The band was great. You literally just said two of the titles in that statement. One of his songs is Mr. Christmas and the other one is called Glow. Oh, okay. I just thought that was the name of the tour.

Anyway. Hey, the tour glow and he's like Mr. Christmas. I don't know any of the titles, any of the songs. You just said two of them. Didn't realize that. Anyway, then there's three girls that are sitting, three women. I shouldn't say girls. These are women that are sitting two seats over from us.

Oh, this was great. I'm glad somebody heard this. And, guys, it is Christmas time in Nashville. We are talking like five days before Christmas. Like the sleigh is getting gassed up. Yes. Santa is getting his suit ironed and pressed. He is ready to go.

He's getting his beard fixed up. His hair trimmed, making sure the suit fits right. Miss Claws is on her knees. Her wrapping presents. Sowing the costume back together. Anyway, glow. We all know it's a Christmas show. Brett Eldridge lets you know he is going to do a Christmas show every Christmas.

And he sings the first song, A holly jolly Christmas. I don't know if that's what he's saying. Then he said, next song, Santa Claus is coming to town. Third song, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Finishes the song. And the three women go, we came for fucking country music. What is this shit?

And got up and left. Dressed in cowgirl boots, skirts, white teas, and hats. Ladies, read the room. Merry Christmas. We came for fucking country music. What is this show? He doesn't play any of his songs other than his Christmas ones at that show. And I just laughed because I'm like,

A, you're a Brett Eldridge fan, so you should know. B, you already paid for the tickets. So you're going to leave? You're not just going to sit here and enjoy him singing Christmas songs. And you know the issue. They wanted to shake it. Ain't none of those are going to. Most of this time, we're sitting.

Oh, we're sitting because it's a sit-down show. It's not really a shake-it show. Yeah, you're in awe. Exactly. But they went and found it somewhere, probably at Chiefs. I mean, oh, that's where we're going to be on Chiefs is next Friday night. We're going to be there for the open bar happy hour, sore losers.com. Ray, hell of a plug.

No, hell of a plug. And then we're going to be at Category 10. I mean, thank you to the Grand Hyatt. We're going to be at the Preds game. I mean, it's going to be an amazing weekend. I don't know if people, there's no way people are still buying tickets, right? Well, and I was going to say, I hope nobody leaves saying. I haven't learned anything about coaching.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future. This month hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me

for pictures. It's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm really excited to be joined by Jesse Hutch today. Jesse, how are you doing?

I'm doing great. The people have been asking me, have you slept? And I'm like, don't ask me that. Then I'll think about it. And then I'll have an opinion. And then that'll probably cause me to go downhill. So we just don't talk about Bruno. That's a fair point.

Especially when you're in the heat of everything happening. Most people know you for being an actor. When I went to your IMDB page, you had over 95 listings. Is that crazy to you? Yeah, I just passed like 100 and something. Oh, you did. Even higher than that. I was like, okay.

It's not like you get a badge or anything for that. But, you know, personally, I was like, wow, okay. I guess I've been doing this a little while. You do have a really interesting part of your story, though. before this acting, and we'll get into some more acting stuff, but you've had some near-death experiences. Can you talk about those a little bit? Because those are wild. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they weren't planned first. I mean, some of the injuries that I've had probably are, I put myself there. I, you know, I rode the bike on top of the train bridge. It was me trying to pull something off.

It was me free climbing that cliff. Or I used to love climbing church steeples. It's kind of like a thing. You've always really had this, like, kind of adrenaline side. Yeah, absolutely. Beyond the stunts. Yeah. Yeah, so I've never drank alcohol, never done drugs. Swearing's not my thing.

But for some reason, when I was younger, it just started out that I was like, oh, that sounds fun. You can climb that thing. I can jump off of there. I can, you know, try whitewater rafting or whitewater kayaking. And so, excuse me. Yes, I was a whitewater raft guide. I was a couple years in. I was in my first year of college and just happened to be in the right place at the right time and ended up drowning.

So full on right to the end, blacked out. And they found me a couple miles down the river. They estimated I was underwater from 11 to 22 minutes. Wow. And so, rightfully so, I should be either dead and or if alive, I should be, have complete brain damage or loss of function, you know, physicality, memory. you name it. And so the fact that I recovered from that is an absolute miracle. And I couldn't call it anything else.

I can't be like, oh, the water was really cold and it froze me. Like it was nothing like that because how else do you explain that? You know what I mean? Do you recall the rescue at all? Like when people came to behind you? Yeah, I had moments of it, but really small little memories that I have that I'm like, Part of me is even like, was that even an accurate memory? You know what I mean? Yeah. Or are you like making it up because it's what you feel like happened?

I know. I just, I remember being very cognitive, obviously going into it, right? By the time I went underwater. I was guiding. It was a 12-foot Moravia raft. We hit the first wave. I had 12 people in my boat. We had another guy in the front. We hit it and went straight up and we're just about to crest over as you should. And then everybody was having a great time and just we didn't have the power. And so we started to come back down and we started surfing and so I'm keeping the paddle there and I'm keeping us straight and one of the guys two of the guys that fell off from the front as they fell one of the guys managed to grab me not his fault I mean I'd be grabbing on his stuff too if I was falling it's just like oh yeah you know he grabbed my life jacket kind of wrapped me around the back and then I ended up uh sort of almost like water

boarded it was like I kept going into the water out of the water in the water out of the water and eventually I just was like man I'm getting whooped here like I can't shake this guy. So I'm going to have to just bail. So I bailed and I just happened to be right in that sweet spot where the veterans that I worked with called the Green Room. So there's a current on the top of the river and then there's another current that's maybe 12 to 15 feet or so below the surface. And this rapid was called the Coliseum. So kind of fitting, right, that it's, you think of these battles and I ended up going under right there and went down really fast. both my ear drums kind of I could feel the pressure I knew there was a shift I was like oh that was

different okay immediately tried to swim couldn't do it and just felt like this the water pressure was like pushing everything together and I was like man it's really hard to swim and I had to eventually abandon my paddle which you never do as a as a guide that you get you know reamed out and everybody makes fun of you but I was I knew this was a different situation and I wasn't able to get out of this yet and so I let go to the paddle so I could really swim as hard as I could still couldn't break the current so my training told me all right chill out you gotta go with the flow uh I'm not gonna beat the river and so I just hung out and hung on to it you know what I mean and as I'm floating along it's kind of you you go through the the process of like so um I'm underwater you know I like to

be done with this soon so I can get some oxygen and uh I I just, I tried again, I tried to swim, you know, I used more energy, burn more of my strength, and then just couldn't get out and was like, okay, I have to just literally go completely numb to this. I just let everything go, swim completely limp, and trying to save my energy, right? Because, I mean, oxygen's still in my blood, so I'm like, okay, the less I can use my muscles. I can't believe how much you're aware as all of this is happening. Yeah, I mean, I was three years into being a guide. I'd done it for quite a while.

in college training for this very thing, you know, being an outdoor guide, swift water rescue technician training I had. I had search and rescue training. I had wilderness first aid training, which is pretty intense. So you had all the tools for a potential survival out of this. Yeah, and I've always been, I knew going through that course that I was a person that I stayed pretty calm when pressure hits. I actually operate better, the more stress there is in my life sometimes.

There's certain family things where I'm still like navigating. I'm like, oh my goodness, I just fell apart. I couldn't handle that. Like, why not? It should be easier than that. But for whatever reason, when I'm on the river or I was, you know, or I'm on set for 12, 14 hours a day and this pressure hits, I just really feel comfortable. Hello, welcome back.

Oh, no, wrong podcast. I'm sorry, that's what you get if you listen to my podcast. But hello, Sunday Samplers. My name is Mike D. I have a podcast called Movie Mike's Movie Podcast And on the last week's episode, I did my top 10 movies of the year. Like out of everything I watched,

I think over 100, almost 150 movies. These are my top 10. I'm only going to share with you number three and number two. So if you want to hear this full list, you want to know what is my number one movie of the year after watching all those movies, you got to go listen to the full episode. But right now, here's just a little bit

of Movie Mike's movie podcast. See, I do so many podcasts, I forget what I'm doing. But Sunday Sampler, thank you. Have a great weekend. Or I hope you having a great weekend. All right. At number three, speaking of a movie people talked about a lot and made a lot of memes of, I have Wicked, which I gave a 4.5 out of 5. It's still not available to stream yet, but you can't rent it at home. It is a movie I feel that people are not only going to rent, but maybe even purchase.

I think Wicked is a movie that has that type of appeal where you're going to want to rewatch this movie a lot because of the music, because of the songs, because of those performances. But not only that, we have the sequel coming out this year, which they did officially change. the title to Wicked for Good. It's coming out on November 21st. So pretty much a year after this one came out, it's going to give a lot of people a reason that maybe didn't watch this movie in theaters to watch it at home.

Or maybe some people will wait until they have like the two showing events where you watch one leading up to number two in theaters. But I think why I love this movie so much is because I have such an affinity for the Wizard of Oz and all the mystery and just kind of lore that surrounds that movie with all the dark and gritty past of just.

just the filmmaking process, but also its impact on film. It being a movie, I would say only one of few movies that are almost 100 years old that people still watch and still hold up and still influence film to this day, to this day. And I rewatch that movie after watching Wicked, and I'm fully in that world right now and seeing how they're going to connect the first one to the second one and how even though it's not a full-on prequel, how now because of its success it's going to be so interwoven so I'm very curious to see how the second one plays out and up to this point I've still avoided spoilers and I think it was also that I didn't know anything about wicked going into it

I didn't even know how to say alpha's name up until I did that trailer in the trailer park and I was like how do you say this name so I think not knowing a whole lot about the story allowed me to enjoy the movie that much more but from just a filmmaking standpoint I love that this movie brought back real sets and sequences that take place in real time, a lot of live singing was done for this movie. It just really felt like the set was alive, which you don't really have a whole lot anymore. For the most part, it's just a bunch of green screen and blue screen and people who are just acting to nothing.

You can truly feel that in this movie. And I think is what made it so enjoyable to me that it still kept that Broadway theater vibe, very live and fluid, which I think is important for all the songs in this movie and just having those big elaborate sets that remind me of the filmmaking process for that first, Widders of Oz, where they had no ability to rely on special effects. They had to do all those themselves. So hopefully, since they did film both of these movies at the same time, we get to see more of that in the sequel.

I'm hype for it. Very rarely am I this hype for a sequel that I think has the potential to be better than that's original. Because man, there has to be so much more action and Wicked for good. But at number three, I have Wicked. At number two, I have a movie I gave a 4.5 out of five. You can't stream it anywhere right now. You have to rent it. But it is a real pain starring Kieran Kolkin and Jesse Eisenberg, who also directed the movie. They play these two mismatch cousins, as they call them, who travel to Poland to go on this tour after their grandma dies. And this is them, connecting and you find out all about why they haven't remained as close.

Kieran Kolkin's character is very just go by the seat of his pants, very chill, very laid back. He is a people person who can form a connection with a random stranger on the street. And Jesse Eisenberg's character is very reserved, neurotic, overthinks a lot. But he has a wife and kid at home, so he has a life to get back to. And it's how those two personalities clash when you have kind of an odd couple here. The movie only costs $3 million. to make ended pretty well at the box office probably through word of mouth and like i was saying

earlier i think this is the only movie that makes the entire top 10 list of mine that has the potential to win best picture i do hope kieran colkin is nominated and wins best supporting actor because he is fantastic in this film i also think jesse iszenberg should get a nomination for best director but this movie kind of just hit me in the gut in a way that i wasn't expecting and these are both characters that normally I wouldn't have anything that I could relate to them to, but it's through the storytelling and the power of all the things that get revealed that I'm like, oh, I am like one of these people. And this was a movie that after I watched it, I really just reflected on my feelings and on it hitting a nerve that I've never even talked about and much less seen

represented in a movie that I associated myself so much with Jesse Eisenberg's character that I thought, man, how did he make a movie like this and really just hit me in the gut? And I think it was also the fact that they had such great on-screen chemistry, the fact that the movie dealt with a lot of different emotional layers, one of losing their grandma, one of their falling out. And maybe I related a little bit to not being so close with some family members that I was closer to when I was a little bit more younger and carefree. I think we've all kind of experienced something like that

when you're a little bit more wild and just don't care about things in your 20s and you get in your 30s and you have more responsibility you get more involved in your career and maybe some people aren't at that exact same point in their life at that same age and there's some friction that happens between those types of people when you hang out

even though for me personally it is the front runner that I want to win best picture the one I will probably get behind the most maybe for my number one, but depending on how that shakes out, there's nothing I feel is super novel about it that I think it's a hands down full on winner, deserves a five out of five. So not to take away from the story, to take away from anything I've said here, it just doesn't feel like anything I haven't seen done before. But what it does do, it does really well. So if you haven't seen it yet and you want to experience that or just see like, why this movie

make Mike so emotional, I do advise you to check it out because I do think it's worth it. I put a real pain at number two. And that was this week's Sunday sampler. New episodes out weekly. So go check them out. The Bobbycast, Four Things with Amy Brown, sore losers, movie Mike, Caroline Hobby, and the vet's office. Take this personally with Morgan Hewelsman.
