app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Sunday sampler. Hopefully you like some of this. If you do, go check out the podcast specifically for it. On the Bobbycast, Sarah Beth Tate joined me. I had a huge surprise for her. There were tears.

Check it out. We'll start with this. Take this personally from Morgan Heelsman. She talked with a physician and neuroscience expert about how to heal from having anxiety and what steps that you can take to stop the alarms that people hear when they get anxious. You'll hear four things with Amy Brown, sore losers, movie mic, and so much more. But let's get started with a clip from Take This Personally with Morgan Hewlesman.

Super excited right now because I'm joined by Dr. Russell Kennedy, otherwise known as the Anxiety MD on social media. He's a physician, neuroscience expert, among many other things. How are you doing today? I'm great, Morgan. How are you? I'm doing good. And I'm really excited to really talk to you about anxiety because, man, I think anxiety.

has a little bit of people out there who don't understand it quite as well as they should. Anxiety in your mind is really a state of alarm in your body, physiological survival-based alarm that you probably had since you were a child. So we know that talking about things is really good for this mental aspect, but if somebody would want to work on fixing that alarm, how do they go about doing that? So first of all, you find it in your body. So what I will tell people is that when you're really worried, when you're really anxious about something. And I had a patient, and I talked about this in the book, whose father died when she was

10 in an industrial accident. He went out to work one summer morning and then didn't come back. So her husband today, she's always looking around the house to see if he's packed at the suitcase for a quick exit or leave, you know, so she'll get into this thing where she convinces herself that her husband is leaving her. Now, her husband's a really good guy and is just flabbergasted by this whole thing. So when I tell her, like, whenever you start searching the house for a suitcase or whenever you start getting paranoid that he's going to leave you, it's like this is not, this is not you when you're 10 years old. And you're trying to reconcile. You're trying to make sense of that whole situation. So it's really realizing, oh, okay, this is actually a feeling.

I get her to say, where do you get this feeling? Like it's in your body somewhere. And she said, well, it's this pressure. It's kind of like an hourglass around my heart. Like it squeezes around my heart and then it opens up below. Like she described this real hourglass thing where the middle of the hourglass was squeezing her heart. And she said it felt hollow and black and alone. And I really get people to look into their bodies when they're anxious because the anxiety

that the worries will never end. Like they will just keep going and going and going and going. But if you find this place of alarm in your body, a lot of people, it's in the midline between your chin and your pubic bone. And just when you get anxious, and I don't even like that word, I like the word alarm better than anxious. But even when you get anxious or alarmed, start searching your body for this energy rather than getting stuck in the endless machinations of your mind because you're never going to find healing in your mind.

The healing comes from binding this place in your body, which I believe is your younger self. So that part of her that searches around the house for the suitcase is her 10-year-old self, her amygdala or insula, the parts of our brain that kind of record our experiences through life, have created this sort of age regression in her. And she goes back to that same place. And she feels like a 10-year-old, although she doesn't know she's a 10-year-old. So it's really about finding this alarm that's stuck in your body and realizing that it's probably decades old.

And when you find that then, how do you start to get it? Does it ever go away? Does the alarm ever go away? Or are you just now recognizing it and that's allowing you to? to then deal with it. It's a great question, Morgan. I would say it never goes away, but here's the kicker. I have it.

I still have it today. Like I still have alarm in my system, but I know it now. You know, it's like the old, it's like the t-shirt that says, I'm in my own little world, but it's okay. They know me here. You know, I know. I know it now. So it's like I'm familiar with the sensation.

And I don't have to compulsively start adding worries to this feeling of alarm in my body, which when you were a child, when you went up to your head, and to worry, you kind of escape this old alarm that you would stuff down into your body. So worries become an escape. So they become addictive in a way because they give you a little escape from this alarm in your body, but they become so habitual that they take you over. And it's like OCD. When someone has OCD, they may start with, you know, tapping the doorknob three times,

and then that works. And then it stops working. So they tap the doorknob five times and then 20 times. And then they spin around five times because they're trying to recapture the same feeling of relief that they got initially, which is what we do with worries. The worries actually do provide us a little sense of relief for 0.4 of a second in our brain as we make the uncertain a little more certain. That's what worries do. They make the uncertain appear more certain, and we get a little dopamine hit in our brain from that, and we get addicted to that.

So if you're addicted to worries, how are you going to stop, how are you going to get out of your anxiety? Because the human brain doesn't do anything where there isn't a reward. So we're actually rewarded for our worries. And when we heal, we have to go into our body, resolve that alarm that's driving, that's providing the energy for the worries in the first place. And when we resolve that alarm, the worries just kind of fade away. Or they become so weak that we can see them as worries. Are you an organized person now? Yeah.

Do you keep a calendar? Yeah. Like, what is your in your phone? You have a calendar? stuff. What do you put in your rights? Yeah. Like mine, I just, everything is like colored, right? Like, have like five. This is, how do you organize yours? Okay, maybe I'm not as organized as I I am. I am, don't compare yourself to me because I am, it's like one of the things that I'm prideful of, but it's, again, it's a survival thing. Yeah. I need everything mapped out exactly.

Which is great. Right. No, it depends. talking to. Yes, I can be a little rigid. I actually have been wanting to lately get a written play. Do you have a written player? It's all cute for a minute. It's like going to get a butter churner. It's like it was fun for a picture, but god dang, four times we wanted to churn a butter, it sucks. Okay, you're about to save me money because I was... You need a butter churner? Yeah. Don't get that. I mean, you can get one, but it's annoying. What are you trying to prove? You're carrying around paper. And also, if it gets wet, it sucks. You got to have a pen. You lose your pen? Can borrow a pen? Now you got COVID because a pen had COVID on it.

You don't need that. You can't put in your pocket. Just do it on your phone. Okay. It's the writer in me. I want to see it. Yeah, it is romantic to write. Yes. Yeah. I bet you have a good handwriting. I want to romanticize my schedule. Okay, pull up your phone. Do you have your phone with you? No, I don't. Do you even have it? You use a phone? She's like, I do not. I want to romanticize.

I'm off the grid. No. I mail all my correspondence. I very much so have my phone. You're making me nervous with what I'm supposed to be. This is just a little test. Okay. What do you have, what is today? The second.

What did you have for today? You. Okay, good. Like it. What about tomorrow? A doctor's appointment. Good. What about, let me just move on here.

The 25th. Do you have anything, October 25th? I have, oh, my daughter's birthday is the 27th, but I have nothing that Friday. Okay, so that's cool. because what I would like to invite you to do at some friends, you're going to make your Opry debut. No.

Are you serious? Yeah. Are you kidding me? I'm not kidding you. So if your calendar's free, how would you like to... My God. You have got to be joking. I'm not joking.

What is that happening right now? Did you all know about this? You haven't answered the question. Yes, absolutely. I will be there. Oh my gosh. I thought you were just... Did you just make this up?

Just like texting people? No. Does the Opry know about this? Yes. That would be funny. No, I didn't make it up. The texting had nothing to do with this. Oh, my gosh.

But the Opry would like to invite you to come out and make your Opry debut on October 25th. Oh, my gosh. I cannot believe this. How does that make you feel? It's just the most surreal I think this is the most surreal moment of my 10 years I've just I've

dreamt about that for so long and you watch your heroes do that's just the one thing that is like you've made it when you do that I can't believe they're going to let me do that they're not letting you do anything. They think you have earned the ability to play that stage.

So they're not letting you. There's no charity involved here. There's no make a wish. If so, I'd have gotten on there a long time. Early, way earlier than they let me play. No, they, I think they have an appreciation for what you do, how you do it, what you've created, even with the new project. Wow.

And so the 25th. Oh, my gosh. I did set you up on the other dates. Like I was like, what are you doing today? I was just kind of walking you to it. Yeah. That's exciting. Wow.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clever Taylor the fourth. You might have seen the skits, the reactions,

Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful. Laugh a little more than. Tighten up your core thing. Said EK. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown.

I just have just been feeling so down. with all that's going on. So it occurred to me that I had to be open to a creative solution. And this is something that feels really good to put up and really good to offer you. And a good challenge for myself. And it also occurred to me, even just in this very moment as I'm talking, that some of you are loyal listeners that just pull up the podcast when you're driving or doing other things.

So you may not be prepared to walk. But you can still listen and take in the work. and then save this episode for when you can actually do a walking meditation. But, you know, honestly, we're not experts here. So maybe you do a driving meditation. Just definitely don't close your eyes. But in a walking meditation, you don't either. But maybe you're cleaning your house or you're running errands

or whatever it is you're doing. Just do the whatever it is you're doing meditation. And then you can also save it and come back to it when you're ready. But since this is my first one, we're keeping it very simple. It is a five-minute meditation that I wrote and recorded earlier today. So I hope that you'll take the next five minutes for yourself. And here you go. Enjoy.

Welcome to a walking meditation that isn't about doing it perfectly. It's just about showing up and taking a little time to be present. So take a deep breath in and breathe it out. I hope that this is some time for you. yourself for you to clear your mind and reconnect to yourself. So bring awareness to your body. How does it feel? For me, one of the first things I notice is my shoulders.

So notice your shoulders. Maybe they need to relax. What about your breath? Can you get more intentional with it? Like take a deep breath in and exhale slowly. This is a time for you to slow down. and just be. Notice your steps.

Feel the ground underneath your feet. There's no need to rush or force anything. Just let your body go at the pace that it needs. Each step is grounding you, connecting you to the present moment. You can take a deep breath in again through your nose. Hold it for a second and then exhale through your mouth. as you continue walking, keep breathing, and bring your attention to your surroundings.

What do you see? I personally love looking at the trees, especially now with the changing colors of fall. I just take it all in, and then there's sometimes birds flying from tree to tree. I try to take that in and have gratitude for it. So what is it that you see around you? Take a second to really notice things. Take it all in and breathe. and now ask yourself as you're walking what is something that brings you joy maybe it's a memory

a person or just the fact that you're taking this time for yourself right now is that what is bringing you joy just think of anything no matter how small how big something that brings you joy and Take another deep breath in and let it out slowly. Now let's think about hope. Two things I love a lot, joy and hope. No matter what is happening in the world or in your life, know that hope is something that you can carry with you. With each step, let's imagine ourselves walking towards something positive,

whether it's a goal or a dream or simply a, sense of peace. Believe that you have what it takes to move forward. Now check in with yourself again. How are you feeling? Is your mind wandering? If so, that's okay. Acknowledge any thoughts and then release them and bring your focus back to your breath and back to your steps. Has a problem popped into your mind? That's okay too. Acknowledge it and remember you are open to creative solutions. Remind yourself of that. You can say it out loud if you need to. I am open to creative solutions. Breathe in again and out. This moment is yours. There is no need to rush. Allow yourself to enjoy the simple act of moving and being present.

You are enough just as you are. Now I want to take a moment and encourage you to smile. Now, this used to make me uncomfortable, but I have come to love it. I know it might feel a little silly, especially if you're out in public, but go ahead, smile to yourself. To smile. Feel how simple that tiny movement on your face changes your energy. Smiling, even when no one's looking, is a small act of joy. Take one more deep breath in. in for four, hold for four, exhale for four. Now I want you to take a moment, thank yourself for being here.

I hope you take this feeling of calm, hope, joy, and belief in yourself. I hope you take this with you the rest of the day. If you need to rewind a little bit and do this all again, I hope you take the time to do that for yourself. And remember at any moment you can stop, notice your surroundings, take some breaths, do some walking, and reset your mind. Thanks for being here. We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three, so are losers.

What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. So I give you the sports facts. my sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius. Y'all, it's Sizzin. I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Beezer, 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 sore losers. Right. My son, baby box three, he turned three years old the other day. Not another birthday. Oh, another. Yeah, it happens once a year. Each kid's going to have a birthday.

And we're going to celebrate it. And it's going to be amazing. And you want them to have great memories and so much fun. Here's the thing. At three years old, did we throw him a birthday party? Absolutely not. There's a lot of people that throw a three-year-old birthday parties. I just am not.

A three-year-old doesn't really have friends. They know. kids, but they don't have friends. There's no need to have a birthday party. But we wanted to make it special. And so I got to go to the, you know, local Kroger. Do it for the gram. No, we didn't do it for the gram. I just got to get a couple of balloons. I was kidding. You don't post your kids. I know. But that's what a lot of people do. They do it for the Graham. That's why they have a birthday party. So I got to go get a couple balloons because when he wakes up in the morning, you want him to have balloons when he wakes up. Oh, yay, it's my birthday. It's exciting. So I go to the local

Kroger at like 8 p.m. Not the spot, but okay. And I grab a number three balloon because he's turning three years old. And I grab a Paul Patrol balloon because he likes Paul Patrol. So I get him and I go through the checkout and they, bloop, and I'm like, yeah, can you, can you blow these up for me? and they said, oh, yeah, just go over to the floral department. I'll send someone over there. I'm like, all right, cool. So they get on the intercom? Because there's no floral department person working.

They're gone home for the night. I was like, oh, the floral department person? No, no, no, no. I have to get someone from, you know, different department. Florals closed for the night. I'm like, okay. Do you care if I go with my girlfriend? I'm going to check out early.

So I was like, all, cool, cool. So I go over there and I hear over the intercom. Can I get someone from, produce, someone from produce to help someone in the floral department? Oh, man, I got meat hands. What the fuck am I supposed to do? I'm like, wait. So I got to wait for Johnny Appleseed

to come over here. Why I am Okay, cool. All right. Floral and produce are kind of close together. It'll be a minute. Damn it, I got poultry all over my hands. And I wait there. I'm sitting there checking out the floral arrangements. Oh, these are real nice. Oh, bouquet of roses,

some different colored flowers that I don't know what they are. Nice. nice. Oh, yeah, I got a lot of balloons, but not of the, I just need these blown up. I see the helium tank. You think I could just do it myself? Probably not a good idea. Six minutes goes by. No one comes. So I go, I go to the customer service. I'm like, yeah, I'm just trying to get these balloons, you know, blown up. And they're like, oh, yeah, if you'll just pay them for them, they'll page someone to come over there. I said, no, here's my receipt. I already paid for him. Just need someone to come over there. Oh, here. Let me, let me call them.

Can I get someone from produce to the floral department for customer assistance, please? Can I get someone from the produce department to the floral department for customer? Shit, I got Apple all over my hands. Okay, cool. They should be right over, sir. Thank you. Cool. Damn it, I got the egg plant all over my fucking hands.

I'm like, all right. So I go back over there looking at the flowers again? Man, I've already looked at this bouquet of flowers. Seen that bouquet of flowers. You're doing the fake walk by? Oh, doing the fake walk by like I'm shopping, just kind of like, all right. Are they going to get it? At a fast food place.

Whenever you're waiting for your food, it's always a... Yep. You're putting your hand on the fountain drink maker, seeing how it's made. You got your drink. You're just seeing the straws. Oh, that's where they put all the large straws. I got it.

You're leaning up against that wall. That wall is not very comfortable. Let me move over to this wall. Looking at the menu that you've already known since childhood. Oh, they got the Big Mac. I do love when people walk into like a Chick-fil-A and they stare at the menu, like, like you haven't been here a million times.

Like, okay, maybe one in every hundred people have never been there, so they're trying to figure out what they want. But for the most part, you know exactly what they have, and you know exactly what you're going to order. Spicy chicken, regular chicken, pimento cheese. They've got the, now someplace got the burger spot. They got the lemonade. They got the sweet lemonade with the lemonade Arnold Palmer.

No ice cream. Maybe ice cream, no ice cream. Chicken nuggets, chicken minis, the large waffle fries, medium with waffle fries. There you go. So, just sitting there. Back to Kroger. Yeah, back to Kroger.

Another five minutes goes by. And here comes Thomas. Walking up. He got some blue gloves on. And I might, he's like, oh, did you need some help, sir? He's got the OJ gloves on. Hey, man, I just needed a balloon. I was like, yeah, man, I just trying to get these balloons blown up.

He goes, oh, yeah, I heard him paging me. Sorry about that. I was on break. Cool. So you couldn't have, like, called them back and said, hey, I'm on break. Can you get someone else to do it? You just, and he was like, and my break had just started. It was a 15-minuteer.

American way. And I'm like, oh, cool, man. I'm glad I had to sit here and wait while you took your damn break. I mean, I know, hey, listen, I got to be honest. I'm glad you got a break. But, I mean, you could at least let someone know you were on break instead of me sitting here for 15 freaking minutes. I really only waited 11 minutes because I guess you were four minutes into your break before I paged you. But cool.

He was like, do you know what color ribbon you want? I'm like, oh, orange is. fine, man. Make it rainbow. And he blows up the three. Pop! That was jump scare, dude. Oh, yeah, he popped.

Too much air. What was that like in person? That was loud on... I was scary. Is it scary. Is it scary the kid? Well, the kid's not with me. Oh.

Because the kid, I'm going to put him at the kitchen table so when he wakes up in the morning, this is at 8 o'clock at night, so he's already in bed. Right, but you said they're not going to remember anyway, so who gives a shit? Let him come and see the surprise, experience the surprise. He'll forget about it. in five years. No. But he would remember the next morning because he'd already have seen the balloons.

Right, but their memories aren't that developed these. In five years, he's not going to remember. Right. But that morning, I want it to be a surprise. I want to see the excitement on his face. Kids are basically 80-year-old, old with dementia. They really, when you think about it, they are. It's so weird that they don't remember anything.

They don't really have memories before five years old. Correct. So it's really just a mini-dementia. So when we do all these events and cool things and they won't remember it, I sit there and think, I'm like, damn, they're never going to remember this? This is crazy to me. Shouldn't have that. That's actually sad.

Family members have dementia. It's sad. It's a terrible disease. Terrible, man. It might be the worst one. I'd rather go than not be able to remember crap. You got your own wife in front of you. You're like, who are you?

Whoa, look at those hangers. I knew you. I'm your wife. Yeah, that's a tough one, man. So back to more positive news. So he pulls out a number three balloon, another one. He fills it up. And he's like, all right, here you go.

Just take this to register to pay for it. I'm like, no, no, here's my receipt, man. I already paid. He tried to give you the okey doke. He tried to make me pay again. I'm like, no, no, no, I got a receipt, man. He was like, oh, okay, cool. Well, have a great day.

Enjoy the birthday. I'm like, thanks, man. And then I walk out and I go home and I forgot to get a cake. So I had to go back the next day and get a cake. Same dude, Thomas? No, no, I went to the bakery that time and I asked them to put my son's name on it and they misspelled the name. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, you have Quinn.

Yeah. And they put Finn. Cam. Yeah, and they put Khan. Jalen. Yeah. What did I name? Heisman Trophy finalists. But they misspelled the name

And I was like, oh, whatever, I don't care, man Just whatever. Like, I'm not going to argue with you. Dude, I totally hear what you're saying. Because it was supposed to be an A and they put an O instead. But I'm like, I'm not going to mess with it. We at the CARES team, remember, we used to have to do that. Cakes, balloons, all that.

They screw up all the time. All the time. Yeah, the spelling is always an issue, the exact size of it. If it's cursive, if it's even legible. It's a lot. Yeah. But yeah, that was the birthday, man. he loved the balloons.

The balloon is still up. We still play with the number three balloon. Baby Box accidentally broke the string on the Paul Patrol balloon that morning. And so it's just sitting on the kitchen ceiling. And they keep asking me, when are you going to get that down? I keep forgetting. And I just remembered right now that it's still sitting up there. Give it three more days.

It'll be down. That's right. So, yeah, that was it. That was his birthday party. But it just took me back to the whole, in America, you can't get help anywhere, man. But did the produce guy, did he end up getting that break? He finished it out. Oh, he finished it.

No, he finished it before he came, man. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center. of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in soons, correct? I doctored the test once.

It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Grega, Lesbian, Michael Maranini.

Hey, it's Mike D. And this week on Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, it was really cool for me. If you listen to my podcast, you know I am huge into horror movies. I got to talk to two horror icons, Robert England, who plays Freddie Kruger in the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Heather Langenkamp, who plays Nancy in that movie. They were together again celebrating the 40th anniversary of a nightmare on Elm Street. We dove into the movie's history through numbers, so I'll play a little bit of that for you now.

But be sure to go check out this full episode. You can check out clips on my socials at Mike Deistro, but right now, here's just a little bit of my interview with Robert England and Heather Langenkamp, aka Freddie Kruger and Nancy. So I want to do a by the numbers interview. We're going to see how many number related questions we're going to get in here, starting off with 40. It's been 40 years since the movie came out. The next number is 32.

The entire movie was filmed in 32 days. Heather, what was your favorite day on set? Oh, gosh, probably the days I didn't have a big stunt or something. I know the day with Johnny when we're walking across the bridge in Venice or the day with Amanda where we're at the party and we're, you know, first talking about Freddie, those days were really luxurious because there wasn't a lot of tension acting and I could just hang out with everybody and have a great time. Most other days when we did do like the bathtub scene or chase scenes, all of those were,

really, you know, you don't have a lot of time. You have to be on your mark. You have to know exactly what you're doing. A lot more pressure, a lot less time to hang out and just kind of have a great time on set with my co-stars. Any day when I'm getting the makeup off. Yeah. That's happy. But I got the makeup off one day.

And it was a couple of, you know, Freddie Buggers hanging from my ears and underneath my chin. And Heather and I wanted to see the revolving room. And this was going to be the shot of Johnny Depp's bed exploding with all the blood coming out in a gusher-like old faithful. And they, you know, had this great revolving room. and it was the same room they used for Amanda on the ceiling, for Tina on the ceiling, but they had redressed it to become Johnny Depp's bedroom. And they had been working all night. They had it all ready to go.

And Heather and I walked out to watch it. You know, and I was still wiping some of my makeup off. And Heather was in her little pajamas. And I remember standing out there and they spun it the wrong way. And Wes and Jott Keikin, our cinematographer, were inside in these Volkswagen bucket seats with the camera mount. So they would be upside down while the thing erupted and came down so that would look using gravity to make it look like it exploded. That's how they did it. They got the idea from the shining.

Anyway, they spun it the wrong way and all the blood came out of the windows of Johnny Depp's bedroom and out the door of Johnny Depp's bedroom and covered Wes and Jacques Heikin. And I remember standing with you and we saw this puddle coming at us. And I looked down and if you know anything about movie sound stages in Hollywood, they're all cables, electrical cables. everywhere plugged in and I said this doesn't look good. Got it run. The two of us ran all the way back to the makeup. So we didn't get electric unit. Yay.

But that's like I really remember that day. I do. I remember that day. Yeah, because I really thought something terrible was going to happen. The next number is seven. That's the total number of minutes that Freddie was on screen in the first movie. Robert, based on your relationship with West Craven. Seven minutes in heaven.

Seven minutes. Based on your relationship with West Craven, Craven, do you think that was more by design because he wanted to keep Freddie mysterious, or was it more based on the budget of the movie? No, I'll tell you what I think their truth was. And it's because I got access to this right at the last minute with the final makeup tests and wardrobe tests. Both Robert Shea and Wes were petrified about lighting the makeup. The makeup looked great, but they were worried about the lighting.

and what we discovered almost immediately, because I think I had a scene with Heather pretty quickly, is that I could not step into the kids' lighting. They were lit traditionally and attractively. If I went in there, I became too, my makeup looked too white or too pink. And so we had to light me, and it was incumbent upon Heather and Johnny Depp and Amanda Wiss and everyone to step into my lighting.

and which was more dramatic and darker. And that's how they solved that. But they were so nervous about the makeup and what it would look like. And they hadn't started seeing dailies yet or rushes yet. That I think they just had minimized my screen time because of that. And there came a probably came a point where they probably wished they just shot more. But there's nothing in Nightmare One that I shot that's not in the movie, except maybe a little bit on the ceiling dragging Amanda.

And also with Ronnie at the end in that burn scene. I know that's pretty short, much shorter than I think what was shot. Yeah, I think I went in there and substituted at the beginning. And then Tony went in. My stunt double went in and did the flame stuff. But I know there, yeah, because I remember being in that room. So I must have been doing something with Ronnie. I think I, you know, I might have kissed her or pinned her down

or whispered something in her ear and leaned up, and then I combust. And I think they substituted the stuntman in then. That was a famous fire stunt at the time. But yeah, except for that, though, I got all the screen time that was there. But, you know, no small parts, only small actors. The next number is 79.

That is the total number of kills Freddie has throughout the entire franchise. Out of this movie or out of any movie, what is each of your favorite kills that Freddie has done? Heather, what's your favorite? I have to say the most unique, and disgusting kill was when he kills Brooke Thieson Nightmare 4, who's the cockroach,

and he turns into the cockroach. And that one just is funny and disgusting and grotesque. And it's also one of my best friends getting killed besides. It's also very Kafkaesque, which really serves the surrealism and the nightmare thing. I think I like the boy with a hearing aid. That one was brutal. In part, yeah, in part six.

It's so politically incorrect. And I always like Amanda on the ceiling. Well, Amanda on the ceiling. Because that's so disorienting. And it's so unexpected, too. The way it starts the movie, like, you don't see that coming. I remember. She's the Janet Lee's sacrificial lamb.

Yeah. That's why the lamb's in there in that corridor, school corridor. Thank you. Thank you so much. That was wonderful. A lot of math in that interview. Yeah, there we go. Do you feel imposter syndrome?

Because you are changing people's lives and you're delivering messages. But I am always like, I'm good at getting messages from people, but I don't feel like I have a message to share with people. I think we, I think any of us, it's the, it's the irony of what people like you and me do, where we like, we eagerly reach for a microphone, but deep down, like, have that feeling in moments of, like, imposter syndrome or like, what if they find out I'm not really that talented or what, you know what I mean? And to your point about wondering, like, do I have a story to tell? Well, it's funny you say that because, like, I,

I've built my whole platform on not really my story, but encouraging other people to recognize the power in their story. So not to give you a spiritual answer to your thought. I really think that, like, each and every one of us are created by design with intentionality of the master creator and with a purpose. And the Bible talks about how God created, we're his handiwork.

Another translation says, were his craftsmanship, which like I love the word craft, because that speaks to the one in a millionness of each one of us, one in a billionness, right? The fingerprint, the uniqueness of who we are. And it says we were, he created us to do good works, which were prepared in advance for us to do. So that answers your question, Caroline,

that your story is worth telling. People want to know. People want to read your book. How do you have, like when did you first have, have conviction for what you're saying because I feel like to going back to imposter syndrome like i realize i can't speak out to people unless i fully believe and know for sure that what i am saying is my truth for me you know like i feel it in my bones not just have heard it because i feel like a lot of times with christianity and i would love to hear your perspective on this people get information

that's just kind of been passed down and taught them but a lot of times the disconnect is there of they don't actually have their own personal relationship. And so how did you get your first conviction of like, I have to speak this because I know this is the truth. And I know people have to hear this, not just like I've been told this is the truth and I don't want to go to hell, so I'm going to believe it. That's a great question.

And it's a big part of my story. Like I grew up a preacher's kid. Like I was in the front row of my mom and my dad's church in the suburbs, the suburbs of Chicago, my whole life. And so from an early age, I felt like I had lots of eyeballs on me. And with that, like a lot of pressure. Like, I remember.

To be perfect? Oh, gosh, yeah. Like where it was just like I had to set the example, right? And so what happens, though, is at a young age, you can get way more focused on like the appearance of it. Totally. Right? So I knew how to, I could quote the right Bible verses.

I could, if I raised my hand during the slow song in the worship service, like I looked the part, right? Okay. So you actually subconsciously were playing the park. 100%. Well, I even like, we had this like Christian version of Boy Scouts called Royal Rangers. This is a very wounding moment in my life. But I would, I'm not very outdoorsy at all.

So I was already like starting out at a disadvantage. But the troop leader, every Wednesday night, we would have this like boy scouts thing, Royal Rangers it was called. And he'd be like, okay, let's start the meeting. Matthew, lead us in prayer. And next Wednesday night. Matthew, lead us in prayer. Matthew, lead us in prayer.

We're the Royal Ranger favorite? Well, no, I was the preacher's kid. And finally one Wednesday night, I was like, how come I have to pray? And it wasn't because I was against praying. I just didn't like always being called out with that pressure, right? And that one Wednesday night, for some reason,

I refused to pray. And the troop leader was like trying to make an example. He's like, you need to pray because you're saying the example for the rest of us. I'll never forget this moment. And I was like, like William Wallis, some brave heart. I was like, I'm not praying. You can't make me. And it wasn't, again, I didn't have anything against God. I just didn't like always being singled out. Right.

And I remember getting like kicked out of Royal Rangers and sent to my dad's office. Really? But I'll say something like, and this was a moment that led to me finding a faith that was real to me and not just a family connection. Was my dad's response to that. What did he say? Because I thought I was in trouble. And my dad was like, you know, I remember he said, he said this multiple times in my life. He's like, look, when you look for God and other people, sometimes you're going to find him because, you know, God, God shines through his people. But sometimes you're going to be let down. Sometimes you're going to be disappointed.

And that's why your relationship with God needs to be between you and him. Because other people are always going to let you down because that's what we do. We're humans. We're broken people. Well, there's only one who won't let you down. And so I think growing up, I had this, there were moments where I was like, I saw how church people acted. And I was like, I don't think I want anything to do with this. I know.

because there is like that's the other problem is there is so much like oh i don't like that it's like you call yourself this but then you treat my family this way or whatever you know and i just i really credit my mom and my dad for keeping like their son's heart like soft and not hardened but really i think for a long time i just was like i'm in the family business i think you know my faith was more of a familial thing like a family business connection um it wasn't until i went to college for my freshman year of college like for the first time nobody on that campus knew me as the preacher's kid and and yet i still find myself like showing up at church on sunday morning no matter what i was doing saturday night and like i remember finding my way to go like this

needs to be real to me and so that that's a big part of my story of like getting down beneath the surface and not like being so focused on you because that skill can serve you well even now with my career like I can act like I've got it all together I think that's why I write a lot of songs about that like I love that hello my name is that's like one of your biggest ones ever right yeah that was a and that's a big song about just identity like who you are all the things that we're ashamed that we are like regret and all the emotions that are embarrassing to admit talk about a story that like wondering if your story matters a lot of my songs are written by people's inspired by people's stories so like when you say that song I see that song I see

the face of a guy named Jordan in Kentucky who wrote his story to me. And I get people sending me their stories all the time. And they start by saying, I don't know if God could ever use my story. And what I love about that is like, I feel like God has shown me that he's in the junkyard business. Like he takes the junkyards of our lives and then turns in it. Have you ever seen like people take trash and turn it into treasure, like this crazy artwork or whatever?

I feel like God does that with our stories. And so that was a guy who was an all-American athlete who, got hooked on oxy and drug addiction just spiraled his life out of control but he went to a recovery program did the hard work and like years later he's a basketball coach and teacher and husband and father and he inspired me to write that song hello my name is because it's all about like i am not my past i'm not who the enemy says i was i'm not who my little town in kentucky says i am like i am who god says i am and that's all that matters so talk about i mean every single single thing story is worth being told.
