They don't know how to handle it They don't know if you're you know Just a big fan of the perfect storm or they don't know if I I mean they just don't they didn't know what to do You know, they really really didn't know what to do over there, but I told them just honestly I said hey

This is a gift Okay, I'm not the kind of I'm not the kind of fellow that runs around with fresh squid ink So Raleigh mouse here, would you get into this weekend Raleigh? Just a few of music videos. Okay a lot of fun. Okay Yesterday, we just did six songs in five hours At a studio down in Laverne, Tennessee. Okay, and now you guys are what are like when you get out there? Do you bring your own lunch with you or you eat lunch on-site or how do you usually handle mealtime? I just ate before and then I had down there and

Because you've mentioned you'll forget to eat when you work. Yep all the time Um, luckily this time I didn't I ate before I left I left I did the shoot and then we all went afterwards Okay, little team outing, huh? Oh, yeah, okay And now what's your bedtime music what time usually not off in the evening? Oh Man two three in the morning. Oh, wow. Yeah. Oh, wow. What's the cause of that? Is there any reason or something? You're staying up you waiting for something or you? What happened? Yeah, so I'm either editing or I go to the gym at like two in the morning Because that's like the prime time of nobody's there. Okay, really nice, especially during COVID

But yeah, that's the main reason the gym and you get nervous. Do you have body nerves or something? Do you you have what is that? What would you not want people seeing you? No at that hour I mean do you get nervous about your body? No, it's just a smaller gym. So there's not as much Equipment and so you would have to wait for someone. Oh, yeah, and so sometimes I would go out with my roommates and We would go at like 5 p.m. Because like that's the only time we can go Because they like closed earlier or whatever like on the weekends but Yeah, it's just too crowded. There's not a lot of space. So that's why I like going at night. It's like nobody there

Yeah, I remember I used to go to the gym. You had to bring the barbells with you and we get in my buddy's car And he'd have probably about 360 pounds of barbells in his car and then the bottom of his car actually ended up rotting out Because of the weight and also because of rust. He had some rust issues With the vehicle, but Anyway, man, what else is going on? Oh, not too much really, you know, just kind of adapting and went over there to Cedar Rapids and Now that if you guys aren't familiar Cedar Rapids has been devastated by something called a derecho and that is a Mexican land hurricane and

the real the crazy part is is that You know for all of the yard and outdoor Kind of outdoor finessing That a lot of Latino and specifically Mexican people do It's crazy that then a Mexican storm would come and just ruin Really a lot of the efforts and hard work I mean, you know, you we we rode across town before the storm and I'm or before the show and they had

I mean you'd see a You know a tree everywhere. Everybody had an extra tree in their yard, but it wasn't theirs It had come from somewhere else Displaced trees you had it somebody, you know, you'd have a woodpeckers just flying or it didn't know what what to do You had woodpeckers just kind of like, oh, you know have their wings up in there like that Don't know what's going on Because trees had been just I mean misplaced displaced MIA I bought a carton of milk on the side. It was a picture of a tree on it. People hadn't seen it. You know, it just

It just a lot going on over there and it just really devastated a lot of the town a lot of the city. So Oh Sorry That's my alarm I set So that was interesting man, but then we got out there man, and we put it together out at the amphitheater I mean and they had it set up beautiful, you know, this is an amphitheater and An amphitheater basically is I mean this it was just I mean right on the river the river's right there and you probably had maybe 1,100 people came out and just a real

I mean, you know, it was just A good time. It was a perfect night for it. And you know, it just felt good people to get out people had driven in You know, I they I met a Mexican kid actually who from Georgie driven in And he had a southern exit a southern accent like a red nexican or something. They call them, you know And I'd never seen it before and I kept making them talk and we even tickled them a little To hear him giggle, you know in kind of like a pseudo kind of good, you know, kind of Georgia Spanish kind of You know, because you don't see it

You don't see a lot of that Do you see a lot of cross racial stuff going on with you amongst your friends? You guys have any you have any You know a black friend that sounds Swedish or a You know a southern kid that has like a Mexican accent Do you you guys see a lot of that rally? Not that extreme, but I have friends or I have seen people that are That are either like for example, they're Asian, but they have British accents. Oh, yeah I see that all the time. Actually trickery. Where do you see that at? What do you mean like where do you see it? Are you in part of a club or a group? Is this a meet-up?

Yeah, I mean, I I see like I sometimes hear people like when I'm walking down Broadway And I just look over and it's an Asian dude and he's just you know talking British. I was like, do you trust do you believe him? Yeah, yeah, because like he's he's not He's not like joking around. He's just talking to his friends and like I don't know one point. He was talking about his family or something So I was like, okay, that's like his voice Same thing with the guy that I watch on YouTube named Kai Kai W. That's his That's his channel name and he does all these tech reviews a black guy. No, he's Asian Okay, but I didn't know he was Asian. Um, like because there's black Asian now.

You're gonna spend to drive across town and burn down somebody's front porch or whatever

It's just different times man. We had a lot of nice calls that came in though, man Let me hit this hotline real quick nine eight five six six four nine five zero three is a hotline and um Just people calling in and just sharing a lot of different thoughts As we've migrated into this new territory over here and uh in the central east gang What up, dude? Uh, I just wanted to say I respect you a lot. Um, like I know how it is to relocate and

put a lot on the line just because of an idea and uh That's how you get anything done that all starts with an idea and I know it's probably really uncomfortable right now being out of your comfort zone and and being new to Nashville, but I just want to let you know that you are on the forefront of starting something really cool outside of Los Angeles

uh and Well, thanks, man. I appreciate it. You know, it's uh Uh, you know, I definitely had a week. Uh, where I was real real scared actually like what am I doing? Um And that was actually last week You know, uh, just what am I doing? Um And I realized part of it was I wasn't really making as much uh effort You know, not only do I need to go somewhere

Not only do I have to try to get work going, but then also I need I need to be active You know, I need to actively be trying to bring joy into my life each day Um And so that's one thing that you know, I got back from Cedar Rapids Uh yesterday and that's one thing I've just been trying to do since I since I've gotten back and it's just one of my goals now it's like well, how do I You know, how do I really I want to be able to say I gave um That I've given sorry if I'm I'm doing some belches because I've had a uh zero calorie soda

But um, I want to be able to say I've given this my my best foot forward You know, that's what I want to be able to say and so You know, I got in last night. I was feeling kind of a little bit bummed out I say, you know what I'm gonna make myself a spaghetti dinner You know do this grill up, you know boil the noodles and then grill them I do grilled spaghetti. That's how I do it. A lot of people do this old-fashioned. Just straight up wet shit dude F is all son. I'm grilling the spag dog. That's how I do it

I I knew, you know, I get the needles good then I grill them up Hit them with the meat sauce And uh, so I made myself some spaghettis did some running did some yoga after And now I'm just batting and then the society, you know what I'm gonna go to bed at a decent hour Um And I read I did a little bit of reading. I'm just you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna try to like actually like say Hey, man, do some things to make to take care of yourself You know, I think that will help making make being in a new place easier no matter where it is

And I read a book too. I'm reading it actually it's not fully read But this book is partially read by me so far And a book by michael indell you heard of this fellow rally mail I've not you read a lot Sometimes it depends depends what I read Sound like you don't read that much, but I'll tell you right now about this book This book by michael indell is my pillow. You ever heard of my pillows?

The the tv commercial my pillows. Yeah, yeah So the man was doing crack The man was a crack at it For at least 190 pages of the book. He's smoking crack. You can almost smell the crack It would almost be cool if they had put a scratch and sniff on the page where you could smell a crack a little Because I've never smoked crack To be honest with you, but I always wish that I had Um

But anyway throughout the book he's smoking crack and he's doing this and that and he's struggling and um Man, it's a fascinating story The story's fascinating. I mean people I know sometimes I'm on on twitter give the guy a hard time You know, he's a pretty devout republican and he's um Uh I don't know what else he is. I mean, I think he's a vikings fan, but The man was smoking crack and then made one of the most successful pillows of all time

You know name another can you name another pillow riley? um Yeah, the uh, what do you call it? Um Why can't I give it that you can't think of it because you can't think of it, dude And that's why the uh therapy therapeutic. Um, no, no Nope, that's a mattress. You're talking you're talking temp. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yep pillow is just for your head mattress is for your body Right, and so what I'm telling you about is this man was smoking crack and then he made one of the most successful pillows of all time And that unhappened on accident

That doesn't happen on accident If you're smoking crack for 20 30 40 years The odds of you making One of the most successful pillows of all time Is very small And so what I'm saying is man, and I appreciate the call And what I'm saying is just like yeah, it's hard to you know, sometimes you got to take that chance But not only that you got to put your best foot forward

And so I feel like we're trying something new out here. Um, but at the same time We're also trying to put our best foot forward But thank you for that call man for the good for the good fortune Uh, I'm fortunate to have people that just care how I'm doing You know a lot of calls came into the hotline this week of just people just hey man, how's it going over there?

Well, I appreciate you saying that also. I would like to say anybody who I love you luke but also anybody who references you're gonna love living along a certain interstate Is 95 out of 97 times a Serial killer. I think that's safe to say I think that's safe to say, you know anybody that's been serial killed riley I don't know well

Live a little brother. I have two friends who's have uh, family members have been victims of serial killers or sk As they call them. Let's hear more luke, but you know, there's a lot of people calling in about getting sober and then Just having to forward there and I think riley would agree with me that that void could be filled in a church community Nashville's full of a bunch of really great churches. I've been down there in a few churches And uh, you know, even I don't know if you've been to church before and even if you're not religious, you know I think there's a lot of good people there and Amen, brother. I appreciate that suggestion

And there's a ton of churches here. I've made a bunch of u-turns usually in church parking lots Because they're empty a lot of times and you can and they're everywhere So especially here out here in the central east you'll see that sort of deal You'll you know, u-turn is popularly done in a church parking lot Which isn't bad either because you kind of zip through, you know, you get in there Get a little you know, get that quick head of the lord in your brain and then you're back out On your route

But I appreciate that man. I love you know, I love churches You know, I love uh, you know, I love the camaraderie When I was growing up my dad used to take us over there to the Presbyterian church And he would uh put his business cards in the damn Uh Basket that went around You know the dollars for god basket. He'd throw his business card in there. He always thought it was they were grab They were uh

drawing for free lunch So he'd throw a couple business cards in there and he didn't have any business my dad didn't even have a business His business card had his name on it and his phone number So I mean, I don't I guess I guess that's business. I don't know this was back when you know In these eight these times if you were even a man you were considered Doing business Just by the simple fact of being male

You were considered a businessman. Oh, he does business that fella. Look at him the guy with the beard with the wiener Oh, that means business And so I guess he would throw the card in the church in the money basket. I don't know what he thought But he never won a lunch or anything like that But I used to love it, you know, I used to love also going to the church and doing the Easter egg hunt And my brother was fast and he had dark skin and people would say oh, look at that. Look at little Puerto Rican fella getting all the eggs But it was different times a man Raleigh now, I know you have uh Japanese roots eggs are sacred in Japanese once you guys have fabrics a eggs and you know

a lot of times a certain I'll see a designed egg Um, I honestly, I don't even know what that is. I've never seen one Um Yeah Wow, I have no idea what you're talking about. Wow. I'm sorry. That's all right, man Why know your history? That's the thing about kids now. They don't need to know their history. Who cares? How'd you get here? I don't know space shuttle

Who's your dad? Elon musk every it doesn't matter Every kid thinks it was born in a tesla You know their baby crib is tesla baby. They don't even know They power down at 2 a.m They don't need lunch or these people human anymore That's my big question Sorry to put that on your rally, but no totally fine But you got to know the number one

You know when I was young a lot of times we would learn about different cultures in school, you know and not that often But every now and then they'd have us make a faberge egg And it's a special type of Asian egg where they draw the History of Asia on the outside of it So if you see a fellow on a cruise, you don't want to ship or on a You know, you'll see somebody doing a You know hitting somebody with a sword or a You know hitting somebody with a sword or a

You know somebody at a temple, you know just history and they put it on the egg Let's take another call that came in here. Thanks for the good wishes though, man, and I do think uh You know there's a lot to be found at church actually and actually rally you might know do you have a You know, is there a special memory you have from church as a child, you know Man, I've got many Like I said in one of the previous episodes my my home church is east side east side church and church and it's a big mega church and Like our worship is just amazing our christmas services are

Super spectacular. They're so unique Do you have real animals in them? No unfortunately not We're not one of those kind of churches yet at least I don't know if they have I don't know if they ever will But I don't think they will Yeah, I've been the one I bought tickets to the one out there in california had real animals at it Dang real animals real elephant Real giraffes baby coming right down the aisle. Wow. Yeah pretty crazy. Yeah, they had a um

They had a camel actually they defecated on the stage and then it got sick and they had to have a they had to Suspend one of the services, but um, anyway, tell me more about what you were saying Yeah, and uh, what's a specific memory something you enjoyed? Um, I would say definitely the all the christmas services because they're not just our normal Christmas or our normal services or normal any christmas services that you see anywhere else Like we've got snow coming from the ceiling. We've got like we go all out, but there's always this one tradition where Um At the end we always sing silent night together three times. Oh three time in a row three times in a row

Whoo. Yep. You can't forget it. Exactly See when I was young they sing it one time and you knew it And that's the difference now you got to sing silent night three times for the youngsters That's the just you if you want it to have it if you want to have a real sentimental imprint You you just got to hit them hard You got to hit them hard y'all do the egg hunts over there For easter. Yeah Um

No, well are you talking about church or like just in general church? Uh, church. No, okay well Could be a good church could not be a good church. I'm not saying anything about east side, man You know, they sound like it sound like a great outfit But it you know Hot an egg Hot an egg if you want to keep the kids involved. That's what that that was a motto by our church, but um All right, let's hear one more call that came in man

You know, yeah, and I just wanted to say also You know moving to a new spot is hard. I've I've moved around a bunch Just some weird places. I got to live in central america for a while. I lived out in arizona Well, i'm gonna jump out on a limb here, man But if you're living in central america and arizona, it sounds like you're trying to be mexican or spanish or latino

So I don't want to check in uh, you know You know, I don't want to body check you up in a coat of arms But you know, you might want to look at your roots and make sure what's going on is what's going on Because it sounds like you might be maybe you were adopted You know, I don't just get called to a certain area You know, if I find myself hanging out in cameroon or uh, nigaria After a while i'm gonna start wondering, you know, who my real father is brother onward Move around a little bit and

man, you know, it's it's hard being somewhere for a while at first, you know, it uh It takes a while to get into that rhythm. So Um, hang in there dude and and uh, know that this is like Probably the uh The hardest part of uh moving to new places is the time you're in right now. So Well, thanks, man. It's nice you to say that Yeah, yeah, I think some of it is you know, I find myself at night. I want to I want that's when I get Because you have more free time here

You know in los angeles, you know, a lot of your time is spending traffic Or you know, we're just crying in your car or um You know, there's just a lot of separation between things. There's no parking when you get somewhere So you have to park a block away and you know, it's just there's a lot of barriers between you and comfort And I'm not judging the place. I'm not saying that look man, when I went home last week for three days

I went to the beach and I loved it. I mean, I loved every second of it You know, I don't know if I've ever felt closer to God in my life than just laying out there After having just got out the water and just laying out in the sun out there You know, just laying face down in the sand, you know I mean, I was at peace, you know Something big lady even thought I was a deceased body came up and pushed my body. I thought I was deceased So I don't know how many closer to God you can get than be and then people thinking you're deceased, you know I mean hell, my brother would have hit a damn mint under my body

But um But I do notice you have more time in a place, uh In a place, uh in a place like Nashville. You have more time It's just easier to get around things are quicker and faster And you get more time So, um, so I find myself around eight at eight at night. I'm like, ah What do I do You know, I have a couple friends here through a a program and so they don't you know

They ain't doing nothing. They try not to masturbate or try not to drink, you know So we're not all like, oh, let's go meet up at this joint So you just kind of like trying to find things to do So that's kind of the toughest moments You know, my toughest thing was Last week I was struggling with masturbation really past two weeks. I also tried testosterone replacement I tried testosterone replacement and uh I mean it just makes you just I mean it just

It just gives you so much virility I mean, it'll make your penis reach for a damn deck of cards. I mean it just It is so it just I mean it just brings your body to life and so suddenly you're more You know, you'll just be doing nothing and your penis will jump into your own hand. It's just more It's not that good. So I don't think I'm gonna take it anymore Um, it makes your hair thinner You know, I don't I didn't like that. I find extra hair sitting around and I need my hair You know, I definitely like having hair

So that's really strange um And What else about it? Oh, uh You also they have it's in it's injection based It's injection based, you know, and um, I used to do steroids when I was young Uh

You know, we used to shoot, you know, a lot of people know me and my buddy, um Billy conforto r.i.p And he died and he was one of the premier bus boys in america also probably one of the top I would say 40 gay prize fighters or gay boxers fist fighters

in I would say in the 1990s In america, you know, maybe in the world, I would say in the world Top 40 homo erotic fist fighters in I would say in first world countries and uh, I don't know second world You get into a second world country, bro. You get down there in Ecuador, brah and gay dude will beat the hell out of you, bro It's nothing. That's casual. That's dancing That's dancing for them

Um, but What was I talking about? Oh Oh So, yeah, you also have to take this other Drug with it. They have a drug also that, um, because if you take testosterone, it will It makes your Gonads, they call them gonads on the internet, but really it's your nuts

And it makes them smaller And so you take another drug that makes your Basically makes your gonads regular size It's kind of like a fluffer It's like, uh, you ever put a little air in your bike tire a little? It's like that Just like that, man But um, but anyway, I'm just real. I just don't think it's for me. So I

Uh So I'm gonna quit taking it. You know, I've tried it out. It's been about a month maybe six weeks And I just don't I think the hair I don't want to lose my hair and I don't know. I don't know if I notice a lot of other benefits and stuff from it really. Um So And then if you take the the the secondary drug that they have If you it whenever you take that it makes your Kind of makes your nuts feel like somebody hid something in them

It makes kind of it makes your nuts feel like somebody just blew all their breath like somebody just I Like blew one mouthful of breath right into it. It's like you got this kind of You know, it's like you got this, uh It's like a It's just like somebody just puffed your nuts up a little so I don't like that feeling. It's like you're hot It's like somebody hit a Easter egg right in your crotch or something in your nuts And you know

And that makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't like that feeling. It just feels fake. So Anyway, so that's my experience with it You know when it's not, um And you get it. There's different ways you can get the testosterone replacement. It's for sale everywhere now and So I wanted to try it out And And And the injection part is a little weird like it. I don't trip. I don't know

That much because I did it when I was young, you know to bodybuild So it's just a low dose But it does make me feel You know uncomfortable I feel like, um And it just the upkeep of it and stuff. I just don't feel like it's for me That's kind of the conclusion that I've come to so Um But yeah, man, I think if I find a good church, I think that that that that that's a good idea

You know, so I appreciate that man. Um What else was I talking about you ever done any injectable drugs Raleigh now I mean unless it's for surgery, um the uh What do you call it the thing that makes you go to sleep for surgery other than that?

Here we go Hey, Theo, this is Will. I called about a year ago. My daughter aliyana was born Oh man, congratulations on that one year old you got now, man. That's a beautiful treat man. My buddy just had a kid About maybe nine weeks ago or something And he sent me a picture of it and it looked like a damn little ghost a little scared little fella, but still beautiful, man

Amen, let's hear it Appreciate that by the way Have me on the show uh, I just wanted to Kind of ask your thoughts about the crystallia situation because I heard you and Bobby talking about that last week and I was thinking to myself if one of my buddies gotten some deep stuff some trouble And he said like hey, I I didn't do that. That wasn't me

Like I'd want to back Obviously the crystallia situation is pretty Deep deeper than that Um, but I mean you even said like Like People were mad about him talking to a 22 year old So like maybe it's not as bad as it cracked up to be. I don't know much about it to be honest. I know the base Stacks so

I don't know man. Do you feel bad about not backing him like Well, I appreciate your question, man, um I mean, there's there's You know, and yeah, me and Bobby were talking about this the other day on uh on the episode and I think I back I back chris, you know, like I check in with him, you know, I probably should check in with him again

um You know chris doesn't communicate a ton with me We never have communicated like a great deal like our friendship But you know, we haven't had like a deep deep friendship Um I think he's one of the funniest guys that I know I don't so I don't know the extent of everything that's gone on either You know, I don't know the extent

Do I believe everything that that that do I believe that the articles that people have written like a lot of it Seems like hit pieces to me You know, but also I don't know everything about it You know, I feel like um It's really tough, you know, because people do everything now for clickbait It's really tough um

But I do know that I you know That it's tough for a lot of his friends and a lot of his associates and co-workers to know What to say or do? Because he hasn't really said much So I think in a weird way we're all kind of waiting Not waiting to hear from him. I mean and he did say his piece. There was an article he that he had or that was about like his side of the story and his thoughts on it and

um You know, I don't know. I don't know if there's like legal stuff that he's facing. I don't know And some of it. It's interesting because it's like it's not my You know, like, um, it's not my responsibility to Or it's not it's none of my business to bother him to bother him about any of that You know, I check in and say, you know, you know, how are you doing? You know thinking of you? Um, I don't look at I mean the media often looks at people as one dimensional Oh, they're just this

Or that's how it seems a lot of times But I mean, I support, you know, I support my friends as much as I you know, I love them You know, I want him to be able to work Um I'm grateful that he has a family right now that he has a wife and kid and he has people that are close to him to support him And people to keep him hopeful and excited Um You know, I don't know I don't know what a lot of his behaviors were like really know, you know, I don't know

I don't go, you know, um So it's like You know, yeah, I have their back I have my friends back. I mean a lot of everything we do you you don't see it on podcast. You don't always hear about it Um There's also a lot of like a lot of guys are afraid and a lot of people are afraid. I think just of you know Of a lot of just, you know, are they going to be written an article about next even if some of the stuff it doesn't even

Have any validity Um You know, it's scary. It makes me feel uncomfortable. It makes me feel scared to even talk about like I have to watch my words Um Because there's people out there that want to take people's livelihood away But then also if people did something that is illegal, then I feel like that they should be held accountable for it But also, I don't feel like people that if they did something illegal that that dams them as a Someone that I could should care about or that there's not more to them as a person

I mean, dude, we're all like just messed up creatures trying to freaking Balance right between the sand and the and the and the water So Uh, you know, it's tricky out there It's tricky out there. It's tricky in here tricky inside of ourselves man. It's tricky everywhere but When people say you didn't back him what is backing someone look like I mean

I've let him know that I love him. I've let him know that You know, I'm here for him I've let him know that if he feels like he has an issue or with anything That he's welcome to you know, I go to different meetings for all types of stuff So he's welcome to come with me anytime he wants to or But I appreciate the reminder, you know, maybe I should check in with him again and just you know remind him that People think about him, you know, that people care about him. You know, I texted a call on the other day and told him, you know

To keep his head up Um Just as I would text any of my friends or communicate any with any of my friends who have something bad happened to them You know, just as I'm sure like The accusers are or are the victims of of the alleged incidents or their friends are supporting them You know, it's I don't know I'm just human man. I don't know

but um Anyway, man, let's get another call or two that came in man. I want to thank everybody that came out about the uh cedar rapid You don't want to thank everybody that came out for the cedar rapid show And uh, let's get those calls right now Hey, yo boy Daniels being at northeast arkansas What's up big daniel Out of northeast arkansas. You ever been there riley?

I've not Well, actually, what is northeast arkansas? Like what cities? man Let's hear more uh, no, I don't not the hothos hitter, but Hey, uh, man, let me know. Let me drive it up there Saturday come see in cedar rapid as long as my wife doesn't kill me while we drive for seven hours But uh, man, I'm just gonna let you know along with helping people dealing with the addictions and everything

You also help us who only had a mother growing up and uh And what we're close to her Uh, a while back. Let's see here. You said how your mom had to be your disciplinary figure and your comfort person And then just that comment opened up a slew of emotions. I didn't even know I had that just from realizing that and

Anyway, I was able to put my uh relationship back together with my mom Uh, you know, we're a lot stronger now. So Thanks, man, thanks for the nice call, man, uh, I hope you guys enjoyed the show Yeah, seven hours with your wife in a car. That's really I mean, that should be a dang game show. I feel like That should be uh That should be a really a dirty game show, but um Yeah, man. Well, I appreciate you saying that man. I you know, my mother actually went to it's almost just funny and full circle

my mother went to college over there and um cedar rapids And um, and she met her first husband over there over there and uh But Yeah, it's funny, man. I you know It's interesting when a kid, you know, when you just have the single parent when you just have the mom And I didn't realize it till I was older. I just looked at my mom. It's like you start to I think Not having a dad around you in a weird way you hold that against your mother

I mean you would you just hold it against whoever's the remaining parent So I think if it's if you just have a dad Or or I did I don't know if people do But then suddenly, you know, yeah, your mother has two roles and And I don't even know if our mom's realized it at the time That suddenly they're the mother and the father and and It's just so much man. There's so much that goes into all of it

But Yeah, I was holding probably I was probably have always been I probably held I was holding I was holding or maybe still hold things against my mother that maybe were a father's responsibility And that's why sometimes I get hung up on like yeah, I like the two-parent system man, it's You know, it just Because I know what it feels like not to have it that's why Some people, you know, they get all political about it Well, you don't like you you don't think two women can raise the care two men I don't know about all of that

Or I can just you know Get my eggs fertilized at the chemical plant or whatever and I can have a family Yeah, I think all those things are great things and it's okay, but You know, I just the only thing I know is that When you're when you don't have that you There's just parties sometimes this is just doesn't develop or something I don't know man And sometimes it's easier for me to think about these things and sometimes it's it's harder for me to think about them and feel them

Because thinking about stuff doesn't get me anywhere man. I really have to feel it like I have to like Try and take myself back to the place of when I was a kid and what it did it feel like, you know And and how You know like and think of myself and looking at my mother and like did I look at did I think of her as You know, I have to try and navigate those feelings and to really see where I land sometimes, but But yeah, man life is it's just man, there's so many There's so much going on and I'm not trying to be a downer or anything man. I appreciate the nice words and You know and then in the end of it all it's like

What am I I can't still what am I still gonna hold grudges from? You know, it just doesn't do me any good So as much as in some places me I feel empty If I Pin my emptiness on somebody else as their fault Then it's just really just It's just creating it just create it's letting that emptiness still create more negativity And as much as it hurts to have to just deal with it myself and to patch it up

Sometimes it's just like that's the only real solution Because man, yes, sometimes I still want to blame I get you know, I just want to blame and but Usually those feelings go away pretty quick Uh, or those moments where I feel that way, but anyway, man Thanks for bringing that up You know And yeah, I hope your wife didn't kill you and I hope you guys had a good time at the show
