You know I was um I was looking at some drawings of Native Americans and you know I realized
I couldn't even it's sad to admit but I couldn't even be Native American and no offense to
anybody that's an NA no offense to you guys I love your work I've seen you know most of
what I've seen is drawings but you know I love but I love y'all's work and I mean that
you know I love all you know I respect Native Americans if I you know I was born too late
in the world if I was born earlier I probably would have you know try to smooth things over
a little bit better whenever you know you guys kind of had the fallen out with the with
some of the whites to be honest I would have said hey hey hey you know let's figure this
out guys but I think both of you guys are high kind of high-tempered it seems like if
I'm really honest if I look back and some of the drawings it seems you know excuse me
a little belt or burp I don't know which one is which they're both disgusting I feel like
air is just kind of just raping my throat every time it happens oh I hate that but um
but yeah again I want to apologize to any you know I know we have some Native American
listeners some NALs basically or something you know we knew what I'm talking about we
have us we have some Native American listeners I have Native American in me okay I probably
got half a pint okay I probably got half a pint I probably got six teaspoons of Chippewa
or something daddy's got it in them I can feel it sometimes in the middle of the night
you know I'll hear something outside I'll hear something about 40 paces away and I don't
use the term paces very often so well that's right then when I know that I say it is that's
a very select ounce or two of me that's listening there and that's that Native American in me
but yeah I want to apologize to Native Americans on behalf of kind of some of the way stuff
went down you know it's uh it was just kind of a wild time I think and you know you can't
win them all I guess you know I don't know what to how do we shake you know merge the
past and the future so I don't know I don't even know what I'm talking about what was
I talking about I don't even know man oh my god dude I had what a week what a weekend
what I mean what a my weekend was great it was my weekend was tough it was it was everything
you know it was everything weekend it was like one of those bagels that have every you
know everything on it it just looks like your spice rack just took a you know took some
bread and just did a damn gang bang on it but um but yeah so you know what we do what
we can uh and um yeah let's look look let's crack into the episode I think that's the
way to do it and and I'll just share more you know just try and share about what's going
on yeah you know I need help sometimes I need some help sometimes I need some help so you
know and and it's hard to say that it's hard to say that I need some help sometimes and
sometimes I do let's get into this episode here we go
you always are the one who keeps together you always are the one knows just what we need
you always are the one who stays home with your baby you're gonna be the one who stays
time now I've been working.
body down to the bone I've been working out as I can just
find some time time to get you all along we care we care going out on the city have

ah and we're here we're here we're here we're moving in it's October you know we're moving
in and we're moving forward and you know I had a tough week man I you know I don't want
to you know I've just had a tough I've just had a tough time recently and I don't like
to you know it's hard for me sometimes with to not to to share how I feel and not sound
like I am complaining or like I had or just having a lot of self pity and it's it's hard
for me to do you know it's hard you know I think it's become tougher sometimes on this
podcast to talk sometimes about how I feel because I don't I don't want to I don't want
to complain and I don't want to be seen as a complainer and you know it's you know it's
interesting you know as my career is going on over the past few years and has gotten
busier you know I start to feel like oh well nobody wants to hear what your problems are
if they think that your life is good or that you you know here I am getting to live out
my dreams and so to then still come back and have a have complaints have uncomfort that
stuff I don't know it's just hard it's hard to share it's hard to it's scary it's scary
to share because I'm like well you know who's who nobody wants to listen to somebody complain
that that has you know that has that's like living their dream it just doesn't so it's
just been tough man I just have not been feeling that good I think especially about the past
six or nine months and I try to talk about it sometimes but I don't know what's going
on you know I don't know what's going on and so you know you just keep showing up and you
know I had I just had a moment this past week and while I was gonna drink the other night
I was gonna drink and you know I don't know if I have a drinking problem I know that I
don't do well when once I get hold of cocaine I don't do super great you know I do not do
super great if I am doing cocaine so the other day you know I had to show up in New Jersey
with Trevor Wallace and he's amazing and it was great in Francis Ellis beautiful fella
tall fella too I mean tall white I mean if somebody did something to the Native Americans
I'm gonna it was somebody he you know probably somebody he knew or in his gene pool you know
if you drink up a half cup of out of his gene pool you could definitely taste a couple Native
Americans you know losing their land I'll say that but one of the smartest and hardest
working guys is Francis Ellis no shortcuts with that fella and and so beautiful to you
know just to see him and spend time with him and and Trevor's and Trevor's you know I just
I respect both those guys so much and so I was I was happy to be out there with them
and the first show was amazing it was one of my favorite shows ever out there in in New
Jersey in the state of New Jersey up there in northeastern America and then the second
show was it was it was good it just it was all over the place kind of you ever look for
something you just can't find it was kind of like that a little and that's my perception
as well you may have been sitting there and had a great time but but you know I like it
to be just you know I'll always always wanted to be perfect for everybody and so anyway
I think everybody did have a great time but but anyway there was just that's just kind
of how I felt about them but the day was just that day was just rough and I'd you know I'd
been I went to the I went to the airport in the morning from Nashville and I flew to the
wrong airport in in New York and I flew into LaGuardia and that's about an hour and a half
away from the venue whereas Newark was about 40 minutes from the venue so just it would
have been a lot easier so I flew into the wrong airport and I had to get an Uber so I took
an Uber an hour and whatever it was hour and 40 minutes hour and 20 minutes it was a it was a ways
and I was just stressed out man you know I just really you know I've been trying not to drink
for a while and I just kind of decided in my head you know man I'm I'm gonna drink I'm gonna
drink when I get to this hotel I'm just gonna have myself a damn drink you know and I don't
think and I've never been the kind of person to just drink and drink and drown I don't like
that I don't like hell I don't like having to get up and go pee so I I don't want to have a bunch
of drinks you know but the reason I don't drink is because I just get worried that then if I get
approached with cocaine you know or that dust that Jack Jack then I'm gonna be out there son
I'll be out in your garden you know I'll be out there and you're recycling been with a couple
of raccoons baby doing dirty baby doing dirty works so that's where my mind kind of goes and
but I just decided man you know I got this I got a hotel room at this place called Oyster
Point Hotel because they have the place is kind of it's a little bit of it's kind of shitty
and I like that it's kind of nice though it's like shitty nice you know it's like that
like you ever been to a funeral but they got like a thing of mints right by the coffin like a
little snack bowl or whatever right by the car like a little oh yeah you know you know you know
well you know Keith is dead but also you know have a minute that kind of place so I it just had
that kind of vibe and anyway I get there and I thought in my head well the whole time I'm riding
there I'm just furious in the guy oh the Uber driver kept telling me he had asthma and about his
journey with asthma dude we got bigger fish to fry in the world right now than somebody having an
asthma journey bro maybe if you can't breathe well maybe God don't want you round yeah have you
thought about that huh puff puff maybe if you can't take a hit off the world correctly maybe the
Lord's looking for you so anyway an hour and a half a listen to you know captain fucking
camp puff talk about his 65 years dude was 65 65 years of long issues and he had crosses hanging
everywhere in the Uber he had I mean there was a cross there was there's a cross here you know at
one point I reached behind my ear and I pulled out a cross like he had there was I don't know if
this guy lives if he had a vampire as an ex-wife I don't know what's going on but the Lord I mean I
guess the Lord was with us for sure it was an Uber pool because they had there's no way there
weren't a couple of straight-up disciples in the trunk so I'm riding with this dude captain asthma
and and he kept pulling oh this was the worst part and I'm just thinking God and I made it up the
black belt oh god I was in Taekwondo for many years as a teen okay well good so what I'm saying is
this that so I've been thinking about obviously about drinking I was thinking about drinking I'm
thinking okay when I get to this hotel they have a nice restaurant there that's one thing it's just
I really love it place that have a nice restaurant nice place to eat you're sitting looking right
out the water beautiful so you could be eating a fish and taste right where it came from you could
be eating a fish right there having you a little bit of pond pond carp or whatever you know North
African pond carp or something you should gotten down some of that and you'll see its family member
swim right up out of window and look at you just catch you with that one eye you know hey that's my
dad you know and so I guess I kept romanticizing in my head okay I'm gonna sit there I'm gonna
have me some food I'm gonna have me some drinks and I'm just gonna relax man and so you know
anyway we go oh the guy kept having to pull over to breathe fresh air the guy kept having to pull
over to breathe fresh air in New Jersey off the turnpike there ain't no fresh air there ain't
no fresh air about a turnpike dude bring a bag of air from somewhere else fill up a balloon from
damn Kansas or something and get that thing you know get that thing trucked in or trained in
huh so we pull over this is the second time we pull over to get fresh air in I'm not sure where
it was some little town and a guy comes up to the car we stop it's literally like we have to stop
for a minute and he will the first time he put his head out the window in the second time he
got out of the vehicle to breathe this is this and I'm just I'm like it's already this is a $200
Uber and it was a small car okay it was small and some of you guys are thinking well Theo you
know you've made some money why don't you get a nice get somebody to pay I agree but that's just
not who I am I don't that's not I don't like to get I try to be thrifty you know that's just who
I am I don't you know that's just who I am is just in my nature you know sometimes I don't
want to sometimes I don't want to give myself you know the creature comforts I don't want to
take care of myself like that and I probably should because then I just get more stressed so
anyway dude we're out there and a brother I'll be honest straight up brother urban brother
whatever however you want to term it you know comes up and starts asking if we want to buy
some drugs and the asthma guy the driver starts asking me like a kind of direction towards me
like I don't fuck like what is going on here I don't think I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm paying to be on
this shit this shitty adventure with frickin Billy bad lungs up here who can't handle the world
and now I got to tell it I don't want any drugs and dudes start looking at two of the crosses
up there for sale like dog we ain't doing this shit right now like I'm just you know what y'all
doing around here we're here because he this guy this guy wants some fucking this guy wants some
fresh air by this railroad tracks and by these Walgreens that's why we're here that's why we're
here and just nobody wants to believe you bro when you're out there like that so I'm just fear and
I'm just like I can't wait to drink now I'm gonna drink gasoline I'm thinking about I'm
thinking I'm done I'm gonna drink ethanol I'm gonna drink I am going to have someone else do
a 2 2 3 4 5 8 balls a 40 ball I'm gonna have somebody do at least a 32 ball of cocaine that
I'm gonna drink their blood that's where I'm at that's where I'm at I'm not doing super well
so we get rid old dude you know and and we hit the we hit the road and it's the last time and
finally we get to the hotel and the lady says where are you coming from and I said I just flew
in from Tennessee and she goes well unfortunately since you flew in through a high-risk state
you you can't access any of our communal areas which means a restaurant and the gym
she goes however we are gonna open the gym after midnight if you if you wanted to get into there
and I'm like you know what that's not that's that's not a real moment but okay so anyway so now I'm
just furious man because the one reason I wanted to stay at this place you know and it's expensive
place it's 300 bucks a night you know when they got the toilet in there like the fraternity house
when the one with the silver handle out the side you know where you pull that little like it's like
a straight handle like you can see the plumbing coming out of the back like it's a it was really
nice 30 years ago but the nice thing there is the there's the restaurant and the staff too
nothing about the people so anyway man so now I'm angry I'm angry man and I've been angry man
I've been angry for months and I just I'm angry and I said well Kelsey you know that was her name
I said Kelsey I wouldn't do that to you I said we'll catch you at least like you know
she goes you can order room service and I was like but the reason I even picked this hotel
was because I wanted to eat in the restaurant and I wanted to sit in there and have a drink
that's what I wanted I'd romanticize this I want to sit in there and I want to have a damn
d r i n k okay and I just rode two hours with captain can't inhale over here
this beleaguered senior citizen I don't I mean that guy there's no way that guy's still alive
I mean this guy was on his last lung bro so anyway anyway she said I'm sorry you can't go in there
you can we'll have food we can have food delivered to your room so I was upset and I went up to my
room um and then I ordered food to my room I had like I had about 50 minutes till I had to be at
the venue and I ordered the food in my room uh and I prayed man honestly I mean I just hit my
knees and prayed I just said you know god I need some help man you know I'm just so angry and I don't
know why and um and I got in the shower and and uh and then the guy brought my food up and the drink
I'd ordered jack and diet and it wasn't the drink really that I wanted but I just I don't know that's
why that's what I ordered and and and there was something about the fact that I kind of romanticized
the idea I'm gonna drink but I'm gonna drink down in this nice restaurant it's gonna be you know
this look I'm gonna be able to look out at the water it's gonna be cool I'm gonna have the fish
his family's gonna swim by it's gonna be kind of like one like a part of the godfather a little bit
it's gonna be interesting and instead uh the fact that I couldn't have the drink there in that place
like once it got to my room I just didn't want it and so I said well if I'm still feeling bad
later I'll have it and um and I eat my food and went to the shows and uh and that was that
so I mean I only tell that story just because you know I'm trying not to drink
and sometimes it's really hard
and that was one that was just one of those times I mean
and I don't talk about it that much on here I like to keep that kind of stuff sometimes separate
because I don't want to have to like every week report on how I'm doing with being sober or feel
like I have to uh you know because that's my own journey um but it was interesting that once
it was interesting because then I got this perspective that oh well god's doing for me
what I can't do for myself because if that if they would have allowed me to go into that restaurant
I wasn't even gonna put my bags in my room I was gonna go sit in there I hadn't eaten all day I was
gonna go sit in there I had four cookies on the plane but I was gonna go sit in there and uh I think
and now I just hear here's what I'm saying is I realized at that moment I was like oh I didn't
that if I would if I if I would have been able to go in just right into the restaurant I wasn't
gonna even take my bags to my room if I would have been able to go right to the restaurant I was
just gonna go sit in there and order a drink and um and I just you know I'm just trying not to
and I just I guess I want to tell that story just I don't know I think you know I think god was doing
for me what I can't do for myself you know he's he and and and at first it was made me so angry
but then I'm like man if I would have if that restaurant would have allowed me in then I would
have drank you know I would have drank and anyway I know it you know that doesn't matter to some
people but when you're trying not to um and you just got so much anger built up and you don't even
know why uh it just gets I don't know it gets heavy sometimes Alvin sir a good sound it just um
yeah I don't know and so yeah the drink just sat there and it melted and
and I don't know I'm not saying that I want that I'm not gonna drink sometime I don't know what I'm
gonna do but I just got to get some help I just got to start feeling better and I'm not trying to
complain um but I just don't feel I don't feel good you know and I don't feel good and I want to
I want to enjoy my life you know I want to be able to enjoy my life and be of service to other people
and and I'm just having a tough time doing that right now because I don't feel great
so I'm not trying to complain I'm not trying to have self pity I'm trying to take action
uh you know I'm trying to see a new therapist um I'm looking at it getting a new sponsor
uh through 12 step stuff and but yeah I don't know I just I just wanted to kind of tell some of
that story and uh and then I want to let you guys know that it has been reported that Americans

shocked actually car insurance is is expensive and uh man I mean it's expensive dude I've been

work from their album celebrate and that song is called our time but yeah i just haven't been feeling
good you know i just have been feeling a lot of stress and i don't know
and i just been feeling angry and
and i almost you know i don't almost don't want to say that
i almost don't you know i don't because i'm scared i guess
i'm scared of what people are gonna think i'm scared of what you're gonna think
but i don't feel that great and i don't feel that great enough of the time where it's a
you know it's a recur it's a it's something that i have to just i got to do more
you know so so i'm i'm gonna try i mean i did some things today you know i went for a run in
the middle of the day i didn't want to but i did it um i'm getting my blood work done just check to
make sure that everything's okay inside of me to make sure you know just staying on top of that um
you know i'm gonna go to an AA meeting later today and just uh i spoke to some uh you know
12 step friends on the phone and and i think some of it is just too much of me you know a lot of my
life has you know um you know i think some something that will help me is doing stuff for other people
so i need to try and lean into that a little bit more um
but i'm just tired i feel every day like i'm fighting something and i don't know what it is
this and i feel every day like i'm like like i'm just constantly just pushing trying to
i don't even know what i'm pushing or what i'm pushing against um
uh i'm trying to explain it but that's why i'm trying to like feel it and share it at the same time
um and i'm not trying to have self pity on myself i'm trying to be active
you know i used to get bummed out for years and i would just lay lay in bed man be be sad and sleep
definitely helps um but i can't do that forever you know i have to take action in my life i have
friends and people that need me and and i want to be healthy so i can you know i feel like i feel
like god wants me to be able to be a part of helping people or being a part of people's lives
you know i want to be a part of that river of like comfort in the world and river of like
healthiness and stuff and and i just can't be a part of it if i'm not feeling good myself so
so anyway i'm not gonna try and dwell on it too much but it was just amazing that
man i wanted that drink man and that just the simple thing that that lady said the restaurant
is not open to you and i and i was so angry but really that was a higher power saying hey
you know let me do for you what you can't do for yourself right now and i and i did feel
like that was pretty powerful um so oh
but yeah i talked a little bit uh here let's get in here let's take a call or two here we go
let me shut up i just feel sometimes on this podcast even i feel so bad just talking all the time
because it's always me you know um it's always me hey feel this is johnny from uh new jersey
baby what's up johnny from jersey baby and no no no relation to jersey mics over there
and they got the sweaty meat they got the meat that seemed glossy on the outside
like somebody you know parked a 84 Chevrolet over to meet for half an hour and left it running
and now it's got that slick look on it gang um just let your show it was a great time
um i think you're doing good making people laugh during these hard rough times
um i just want to say keep it up when we all support you here we had a blast over there we
were crying laughing and uh we'll always uh support you brother so gang gang gang man thank you dude
that was real timely and i appreciate it man
yeah i think sometimes i just put all this pressure maybe on myself i don't know like if
if i don't do something right the right way that that people aren't gonna care anymore
and so then it makes me kind of i think afraid to like do anything
you know if i'm not the right amount of funny or the right amount of serious or the right i just
you know i put this impossible
and i don't even know if i do it consciously that's the thing it's not like choices i'm making it's like
you know i think probably when i was young i felt like if i didn't behave a certain way
that people weren't going to care about me that like the care that i received from people
was directly correlated to how i behaved
and i was only going to be cared about
out if i behaved in exact way
and i could never figure out what that way was
so i think you know sometimes probably in my life that's why
you know i've always probably a lot of me has been searching you know this searching for some
how do i crack this code how do i get this how do i lot what numbers you have to line up correctly
to get the care that i need you know
but yeah i think you know and i was never good at saying when i needed help
i was never good at saying hey i need help you know i and it's so funny because even as a child
you know i was allowed man i was always saying something but it was all like
it was all just hot air man the thing i needed to say was just
that i need i need i need some help you know i need somebody i need to feel that somebody
cares about me you know that's what i needed it when i was young
um but i had that emotional asthma man when you think about i had that emotional asthma i just
because i just didn't know i just didn't know i didn't know what was going on
and i'm not trying to sound whiny you know i know i keep saying that but i'm not like
you know oh man i don't know what's nothing's ever gonna be good i i'm not i'm not feeling
that way i'm just trying to feel what feelings are inside of me so i can so i can take some action
and some days man i just it's hard to be funny sometimes some days it's hard to just it's hard
man it's just like i got in here today and i was like fuck what am i gonna do
you know but then i get this voicemail right here um i just want to say keep it up when we
all support you here we had a blast over there we were crying laughing and uh we'll always uh
support you brother so gang gang
you know and that changes the script in me because then then i hear oh we'll always
support you you know we'll always support you um and it's just something you know i think it's
something that you you got to tell your kids when they're young is that you know that just that you
love them no matter what they're doing no matter what like no matter what
because i always felt like everything every next step of my comfort was dependent upon
how i was behaving at that second at that moment
it was all so dependent upon like how whenever my mom got home how was she feeling you know
it didn't matter how i was feeling however she was feeling then that's how the night was gonna go
you know a lot of there just wasn't room for my feelings um
and so a lot of times i think when i was young others didn't have them
and so then that's why i have more of them now sometimes because i think
you know feelings are they're patient they're real real patient but at some point they trying
to leave the bus station so i think some of them they just i have them later on and i have them now and
yeah i don't know i'm just trying to think out loud and
you know because a lot of people have said to me over the years you know you know Theo i like
when you share what's going on with you because sometimes you say stuff that i can feel
and uh and you guys do it to me you know like this guy right here hard rough times
um i just want to say keep it up and we all support you here we had a blast over there we
were crying laughing and uh we'll always uh support you brother so gang game
yes you know it's just we got a good group of support here and i think it's cool man but um
um thank you again for the nice message man i really yeah and i'm yeah i don't i don't know why
you know this episode just whatever it is man i'm tired i'm just fucking tired i'm tired of having
to like uh sometimes not just be able to be how i want to be and i know that you guys didn't make
it that way i know that sometimes i've made it that way in my own head i know that sometimes
just the past like you know life this workout busier the past year and a half um you know i was
sitting yesterday talking to somebody and telling them i went to tour in europe and man i hardly have
any recollection of it like that's you know i hardly have it just things were just just things
just fast just fast just you know just a lot um and it's a blessing i'm that's not what i'm saying
i'm just saying that uh that for a guy like me that feels a lot of stuff it's a lot it's a lot
sometimes um but the best part man i will say the best part it was such a gift man when i showed up
over to the show i did i didn't drink i felt so good about myself i said man how do i don't know
how you did it you know when i called a friend when i was in the car and i even told him on the way
there i said hey man this if this uber driver gets back in the car soon or if he doesn't i
don't know but i'm i'm drinking you know and he sent me a link to some video and it was some i
don't even know some damn baseball thing i don't know it was the worst thing ever but but just the
fact that i broke up that that the thought in my head it just kind of gave weakened that power
and then i got to the place and they said oh we can't go in a nice restaurant you got to eat
up in your room by the fraternity toilet so damn i mean that even this shit but the place was old
bro they had old shows on television like what the fuck dog dude i turned on golden girls a couple
all all of them were still alive on the show that's how i this thing was old um there was a
george bush senior advertise like vote for george bush senior one of the commercials like this
everything in there was old it was and i was angry but that place has an amazing restaurant
and i got up to my room and here was the crazy part that my room wasn't even facing like the
water it was just facing like the parking lot and i'm like uh if this good thing it's only four
store i jump out the damn window right now good thing it's only four stories and that's concrete
looks i could handle that it was not concrete it was uh asphalt i could live off four stories in
asphalt i'll live you can ask any gypsy that i'll live there dude kush gur but if i go four stories
on the concrete i i'm probably not gonna i'm not surviving oh shout out to the dude too that came
out to the late show in the wheelchair man and he had in enable legs his legs was enabled by a um
dirt bike a dirt bike and just did him dirty and man he had such a great attitude man it
he had such a great attitude man i really i just i really i you know almost wanted to just cut off
one of my damn legs and give it to him and then me and him could just three-legged race around
the world together no homo bro you feel me dog you stay on your side of the leg i'll stay on my
side of the leg at night but but anyway i guess you couldn't do i guess if you gave
yes somebody a leg but then i don't know how but anyway yeah no homo dude 100 bro
but also dude yeah you know but if somebody is gay then also yes homo i don't want anybody to think
that i'm not you know being cool to gay people or anything so no homo and yes homo dog gang of shit
um what else here's someone else that came that came out to the show let's take a couple of show
calls hey what's up the uh this is Steve i'm at you currently from the highway in minnesota
virginia what's up steve out there on the road baby and i've driven out on the road now i like to
get me a little bit of caramel corn when i'm out there driving or riding brother onward
oh yeah we was out there about a dog track and a lot you know you could smell oh dude you could
smell a damn doxin from the stage man you could hear the dog track over there people betting on
a dog and and losing a there's nothing sadder than somebody gambling on a damn dog track
because the information at least if it's a horse you can get some information you can get a little
bit intel on them but a damn you know somebody gots you know a wimer on her you know somebody
gots a rottweiler shit zoom mix out there and it's supposed to run in the seventh race
you know what i'm saying but it hasn't had lunch like you just get weird like oh yeah
you know peaky blinder or whatever the dog's name is or something you know he hadn't had
lunch and that's the kind of intel you get and you're still supposed to lay 20 30 on a damn dog
you know i took a date out to the dog track over there in Tucson arizona one time out there
and she hated me that lady that lady hated me she was an older lady and i thought well what
does the older lady want to do probably something you know advanced you know so i thought gambling
and i took her out there and bet on the dog bet six dollars on this dog you know nine dollars on
that one trying to show out a little and i bet nine and both them bitches lost and then that
bitch left so you got to take women where they care or to good stuff but anyway sorry i making this
about me omber steve dad i missed the show couldn't go i've been trying to see you for a couple years
now but uh i'm in the marine corps so uh you know duty calls can't be around but man i bet you
probably had a great show trying to see you at some point this year hopefully even with all this
covid stuff going on but you know i've been going through tough times and relationships and stuff
and starting on my career but i mean your stuff on this past weekend and came to sing that stuff
keeps me going man makes me laugh and like i said can't wait to see you on the show sometime
definitely excited for next special or something thanks man thanks dude that's sweet of you to
say that man i can and i can feel that you know i can feel you being genuine and uh and yeah thank
you you know and we do have a new special you know we're signing a deal with netflix and it's just
paperwork now and um and to do a special and so that'll be great for that to come out steve so
you'll be able to see it and share that with your uh um your semper fi uh fellas out there and uh
and you know i think that's pretty cool man to be in the military i think there's one thing i admired
when i used to go do some military tours and i hope to do some again was just the camaraderie you get
to have to be in a group of people and to be able to just joke around and you know i know it's grueling
a lot of the hours you guys have and i know you're not where your desired location a lot of times but
you know it's so often so rare sorry in life that i find you get to have a group of people around to
enjoy one another especially right now um so man i'm really i'm i'm envious in a lot of ways of just
you be able to have that brotherhood and just people are just you get to enjoy people that's
that's a delicacy right now a lot of people are can enjoy people a lot of people can't
you know people still can't go see their grandparents or there's fear around it um
um but but be well man and thank you for the warm message man and uh and enjoy that enjoy each other
you know enjoy it man that's such a it's going to be prehistoric human being spending time with
each other the way that we're so addicted to electronica now um let's take another call onward
hey Theo it's um there from Trenton New Jersey so i just got home from your show
i went to the seven o'clock show hey bear and thank you for calling and that's a unique name for a woman
but that's how they do it in the northeast you know you got more people from
britain more people you know you got that native american meets kind of you know kind of defeated
by the white kind of vibe up there so you'll have a kid named bear you love a kid named uh
you know river branch or whatever um you know fire you know fire you love a kid named fire
like damn where's fire dude i don't know he's got the we you know i so they got you know you'll
have unique names go on bear down there in ocean port in jersey and man it was a great great great
time and i really needed it because i just didn't go through a really match where i went through a
breakup and i went through drinking way too much and now i'm sober and i'm only not depressed but
besides that it was great except there was this bitch and she just kept screaming for no reason
and then the last 15 minutes of your set she just talked shit about how she was on your podcast
before now i was on his podcast before anyway i was and everyone just wanted her to shut the
fuck up so but besides that you were great and me and my friends we had a great time
and i really appreciate it and love you man love you too thank you very much for that
for the nice message and i think there was one lady up at the front that was too loud
and she might have been doing drugs i don't know and she had big titties too i'll be honest with
you two of them and she had the big old titties man look like each one of her titties have been
drinking beer it looked like each one of her titties could have been on a bowling team in the 90s
you know she had the big old she had them long branches if you will baby uh and she was loud
i think a lot of times a tittie will hold a lot of volume you know so sometimes if you see somebody
with a big tittied woman they'll have earmuffs on or something but yeah next time i'll do a little
bit better job it's hard for me to gauge here's the hard thing to gauge from the stage if somebody
is a heckler or somebody is being obtuse are they enjoying themselves or are they trying to be seen
that's the tough part
because some lady the other night up front laughed like uh
laughed had a really really really weird laugh and i don't know honestly how to handle that
don't honestly i don't honestly so it's tough you know it's tough to know what is a good sound
and what isn't a good sound alvin sir a good sound it's tough it's you just have to but
if it gets a little too much that's when i say something and also the staff is supposed to do
something but you also don't want to like interrupt the jokes the second show there was a drunk guy
who was not he was he needs to be sober you're probably you sound okay that guy probably needs
to tighten it up because he just was the show he made it about him but maybe not who knows man
but thank you for the warm message you know and that's the thing it's just like sometimes i don't
want to drink because i want to be able to be there for somebody if they're having a tough time or
something i don't i want to be able to say hey man i'm here and i'm available and i'm so i'm
i'm of right mind right now so i can be a part of i don't know i just feel like it's hard for my
higher power to use me if i am all fucked up on that gas or whatever but that's just me some people
can do a bunch of coke you know and raise a family i'm reading the my pillow guys book right now
don't that dude smoking crack and making pillows so if that ain't i mean that sounds like community
college so there's ways to do it is what i'm saying but but i'm glad y'all came and i'm glad you
left and i'll tell you this that first show i'll put this on anything it might have been the best
show i've ever had man it just you know sometimes i just feel and that's the crazy part i don't feel
bad all it sometimes i just feel great but this impending feeling that's what i want to get out of
me you know um and i want to let you know too man um that we recently got the website redone
theovon.com and you can check it out and and uh and i'm sorry for just talking about myself a lot
on this episode i really am you know uh but that you know you know i you know it's funny because
sometimes i just have uh i don't know i think sometimes i have i still have all these these
things inside me like i want to say you know but i just can't i just don't know what they are
i got this feeling sometimes like there's like i want to say things in my throat and i just don't
know what they are um and sometimes i i think man well you're just going to keep talking till you
figure it out you know and it's not gay stuff either some people send me messages hey fella
look at this weiner look at this thigh thigh weiner nut weiner nut nut and gay men need to quit doing
that a lot of gay men sliding in there and in the DMs hey hey hey you want to check out this weiner
how heavy is your weiner some guy asked me how heavy is your weiner get it together man okay
a lot of gay men take advantage of the loophole of being gay to make it that they can then be gross
towards straight men and that is too much man send me a message how heavy is your weiner
i'm not scaling my weiner man and i'm not telling you sir okay buddy it's you're being nasty
so anyway i just i have to say that but what i'm telling you is we got the website redone

there's no f in Modify these guys don't f around you feel me gang Modify change is good
what else can i tell you about man um you know and i gotta recognize too you know a lot of people
are having are feeling you know rough it's a it's a it's a rough time there is a lot of you know we
don't have the regular things i was talking to Maurice Claret the other day and man i really
really admire that guy he has so much solution in his in his brain and in his heart and and uh
uh and and he was saying you know one of the reason people are all so antsy right now he thinks
because nobody has anything to do there's no sports to watch there's no outlet the only teams
that have been playing this whole time have been political so everybody's getting on one or the other
um so it's just it's interesting and i thought about that people have become more fans of politics
you know we've become more fan it's become without other sports and other things
politics has become the thing to be a fan of
you know i like this quarterback i like this quarterback oh the backup quarterbacks
you know is racist the black the the black up quarterbacks racist you know it just
there's all it just there's people are becoming fans of politics and become an activist that's
one thing i'm just dude we've all i feel i feel like we've all become such
such addicts to all of this junk that is then making us be angry about stuff that i don't
know if we're really angry about i know that we are concerned about things i know that we have
views about things but i don't know if we're really angry about things
so i really question the the the side effect of just all the snippets and all the information
in the constant barrage of information and the effect that has on us
you know it's just because you start to wonder well everybody like so many people are activists
and they're like what's going on like i get being activated but at some point it's just
we're i feel like we're being taken advantage of you know at some point we feel a little bit used
by all of the this the median all the hype and a lot of it's like panic porn you know my brother's
friend coined that phrase and i don't know his last name it's i think he's a latino fella
but panic porn where you just everybody's getting high some we're getting some
some some dopamine hit in our brain by getting off on all of this uh
this political and social jack jack i mean i made it up to black belt dang dude i'm not
sure i don't think so i don't think so i don't think so i don't honestly you know it's uh
uh i mean what riley malis say he don't know that's what he would say bro so you got to think
about that sometimes or don't think about it and those are the options but yeah just i just
start to wonder well if i'm more stressed out than usual if there's more what's going on what's
causing me to feel this way um so let's hear uh another call or two that came in here we go
hey see you riley this is way i'm from ohio um but i live in a little town called wheeling west
virginia oh yeah that wheeling feeling baby and i got offered sex by aunt and a niece one time over
there adults both both the mad adults adult sex offer gang and i know we've both had that
wheeling feeling and yep and that's pink eye also and um it's a dangerous thing you know if you if
you hold on to that feeling for too long you're gonna end up doing some methamphetamines in the
back of a 7-eleven amen baby hey that's the guarantee maybe get maybe get an f-tv by the
slurping machine but um i just wanted to call in say i'm a huge fan um you make my day a little
better every day i'm a coal miner and i don't know that you've had any coal miners call in
but um i wanted to say that uh it's a tough job it's a rewarding job um i just wanted
to say um if there's any questions about coal mining please reach out i'm a huge fan of the
show thank you thank you for everything thank you brother i appreciate it and maybe we do have
maybe we do have a question or two about coal mining and if i think of what they are i'll let
you know but right there you got to think about that somebody going in the earth and getting
something out of the earth helping it out and that's really you know i'm not trying to be racial
here but that man goes into the earth and gets something black and helps it out of the earth
so that's pretty cool that's pretty helpful um you know it's uh it's just pretty cool to see
that you go down there and you come up with a bucket of black a couple of positive a bucket
of positive black black activity you know that coal baby and i love a coal i love a briquette
and we actually had a black kid at our school when i was growing up uh briquette lawson
and he was beautiful actually he could have been a male model actually but he
he just was he didn't he just he wasn't doing all that shit man he didn't like a lot of
shit like that he liked more this regular shit mcdonald's and shit um let's take another call

some invisible thing in my head every day that's asking this question why isn't everything perfect
why don't why isn't this done why isn't this done why isn't this done
did you do this do you do this do you and it just and it's like i don't even hear it but i still
it's like i it's like it was asked to me decades ago and it's still echoes

big by making moves it may it allows you to be less inhibited when you need to make other moves
so in the future when an opportunity comes up and that and it you know another move or an
opportunity to take a leap of faith and love or a leap of faith in in friendship or in a different
realm even uh besides employment that the experience you have had right now you know
that'll resonate within those other fields and so you might you won't even know you're like oh wow
