He cut his hair And we don't know why we don't know why But we are. We're praying for him, we're with him still. So okay, we love him.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Um, good day, good evening, good afternoon, good time. Good tidings to you wherever you are. Man, happy August to you, mid August. Can you believe it? Can you believe it that school's back in? Can you believe it that life is just continuing to happen? Life just keeps happening. Life is like, hey, guess what? And you're like, what?
Starting point is 00:01:55 And it's like, bam, more life. It just never stops giving you more life. That's life. Unlimited life. Hey, you want another scoop of life, boy? And we are happy to be alive though. I am I'm happy to be alive because this is it You know, I make that choice some days. Some days I don't But some days I say this is it it. And how am I going to handle it? The other night a guy was giving me directions.
Starting point is 00:02:34 And I'd pulled over and I was talking about something and he was explaining where something was. And he goes, it's right over there behind that, and they had a lit up sign. It said, flea market. That's what the letters on the sign would say. But some of the letters were burned out. And this guy was, I don't want to say homeless, but I would say, semi homeless.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Or head, you know, this guy probably, I bet this guy hadn't been home and probably probably 12 or 14 months. So he was like a street baby. And so he was trying to give me, he tell me where this place was that he'd went to. And he goes, it's right over there behind that and he sees the big sign on this kind of building space that says flea market. But some of the letters were burned out. So it just said, F L M and then K E T. Those were the letters you could still see. So instead of just deducing that it said flea market,
Starting point is 00:03:47 the guy's like, well, it's right over behind the arm. The arm. A-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f-a-f Right, it's right. If he goes, if you go right behind, you see that, ah, that fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit, cut, and I'm just thinking like, how did this guy not know that this science is fully market? Just the bread. I mean, he was like, you just go behind the That this sounds as fully market. Just the bread, I mean, he was like, you just go behind the fruit, fruit, fruit, cut,
Starting point is 00:04:35 the fruit, cut, just go, you go right around there and you'll be that hairy said, you'll, you'll, and you'll get there. And I, sorry, I don't know that just made me laugh. So, flea market. Flea market. Anyway, I don't know what that all meant. Um, good to be with you. Happy school time.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I know a lot of you, a lot of you, you have children going back to school. Or you're going back to school. Some of you have never been, some of you can't read. And that's why you listen to things. But God, do you remember it? Do you remember it going back to school?
Starting point is 00:05:38 It was such a big time, you know. I remember first you get your clothes, you got, the big thing was getting school clothes You know You get school clothes and you would set them on the bed. You had to see how they looked. How does this with that? Dude, sometimes I would even I would lay down on the bed and I would lay my clothes on top of me Instead of just cuz I you didn't want to put them on You didn't want to break those you didn't want to put them on. You didn't want to break those. You didn't want to be in them until that first day of school.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And so then, you know, you would get, I would lay there in bed and just have them on me. How do I look? I'd make my brother come in the room. How do I look? I'd have them all just laid on me. How do I look? I'd have them all just laid on me You know almost like I was just
Starting point is 00:06:35 Deactivated or whatever deceased I'd just be laying there with all my new stuff on me. How do I look? And then that first day when you wore the clothes, that was something crazy, boy. You put them on, you're like, this is it. We're ready. And we had to get to the bus stop. That's something we had to do for school. We had to get to that bus stop. And you know, if you, because my mom would be gone, my mom would leave a note, hey, I went to work or I've left you guys.
Starting point is 00:07:10 It'd be something no kind of like that. There's peanut butter in the fridge, I would say. Just something where you're like, okay, we don't have a chance, you know. And then I put my book back and I'd have to run to the bus. Our bus was, it was probably about two good real blocks away. You had to go two full blocks to get to that bus stop. Maybe two, maybe two and a half blocks. And I don't know if you have, maybe some of you guys have done like a 10K or a 6K or whatever.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Hell, maybe some of you have done a couple grams of K, of ketamine, some fish scale and just laid on your back, semi erect on a stranger's balcony. I don't know that doesn't matter, but what I'm saying is, if you've ever been in like an adventure race, if you've ever done a 10K or a tough motor or, you know, a march of dimes or a wad, a crossfit wad, you know, those are tough things to do. But nothing is tough as being, let's say a fifth grader with a heavy backpack who is running to
Starting point is 00:08:31 get to the bus stop to not miss the bus, who is running to not miss the bus. Because here's what starts happening, you get going and you're going and you're doing good. You're like, bitch, I'ma learn, okay? I'ma learn, sing, blow, flip my cut, flip my cut. I'm gonna learn. But then that heavy backpack, it starts going, it's too heavy. It starts kind of wobbling too fast behind you.
Starting point is 00:09:01 So now the backpack kind of has like an energy of its own. And you have to basically, you almost have to stop, let the backpack come to rest and then get going again. You know, because you look like a, you look like a penguin that's just, you know, that's done a gram or something. That's grammed out, baby. So that was always the most hectic. Whenever you were late for the bus, but you had that huge heavy backpack and it would just like, it would start, it would come around to the sides. It was so like, like it was crazy when you were seeing your backpack, it would swing all the way almost
Starting point is 00:09:37 in front of you on each side as you as the different legs of yours move forward, you know? Because it was just getting out of control and you get up to stop and let it settle down. And then you start going again. So that was always, that was harrowing to get into the bus. That was, that was the toughest thing. And then here's the crazy part, as you are approaching the bus stop, you didn't want to run, because you didn't want people at the bus stop, you didn't want to run because you didn't want people at the bus stop seeing you run to learn. Because that was the most nerd shit you could be doing.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Like, oh, this dude running to learn. We're going to this guy is not, this dude is a narc, you know, this guy is trouble This guy wants a future that was frowned upon So you would have to like hurry, but not as soon as people like we're looking you couldn't he had to stop hurrying I don't care if I miss it. I don't need to learn You know I'm saying bro education is for dummies man food market man You know what I'm saying bro education is for dummies man Food market Food man
Starting point is 00:10:50 So so then you had to kind of slow to it was just this crazy like in our neighborhood It was just this crazy thing to get over there, you know It was this crazy thing and I remember one time somebody stood in a ant pile at the bus stop and somebody's daddy came out and put gasoline all over him to help him out or whatever. But that was a crazy thing. I remember about getting back to school. It was just such a harrowing time. Going back to school was just such like a, you know, you were going back to school. That was where the world happened. That was where you touched society. That's where you learned where you had a
Starting point is 00:11:41 chance at meeting a spouse or something, you know, or whatever. That's where it all. It was like that was the Greek, the center of existence. That was the nucleus. That was the core of your earth at the time, going to school. And yet then you'd get on the bus. That was cruel. Dude, I remember I get on the bus
Starting point is 00:12:09 and it was scary at first. Like you got on the bus and first I remember our bus was it was black and white children on our bus. So first you had like these two chick, they were both pregnant in each of the first seats, the first seats was for chicks that was pregnant or semi pregnant, you know what I'm saying? Um, and so you had, I remember one time we had these chicks, we had Tiffany and we had large each. And both in them, they had been somebody lit them up with that seedling baby.
Starting point is 00:12:46 You know what I'm saying? That's Zygote, baby. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody frickin, you know, put that baby, that somebody put that goal fish in the bowl on them babies. So you had them too. Then in the next scene, you had like this brother that is dude, he had knocked both of them babies. So you had them to then in the next seat, you had like this brother
Starting point is 00:13:05 that is dude, he had knocked both of them up. So he was right there, you know, this dude fucking inmate candle, I think was his name, this brother, he was, you know, and that's a crazy name for somebody, but that was the name. They they knew about the jump. This dude where he was headed, bro. So that was it, That, you know, that was it. So you had, and I remember that dude for 50 cents, he'd let you see his wiener or he would just show you his wiener for no money. So he wasn't like the best businessman, but, but you had to see a little bit of ween or if you wanted to get past that second row of seats,
Starting point is 00:13:48 right? And that, you know, that's just what it was like on the school bus. So you had to, you see the girls, you kind of do a little prayer for them. And the offspring or potential offspring, you'd see in May, Krandel, you fucking nod at him, maybe peak that ween if he was showing root, you know. And then the next seat, it was like a mixed kid, right? And that was like, okay, this is, because when you were on the bus,
Starting point is 00:14:16 you kind of were walking past the seat. So fast, it was hard to make choices. Where do I sit? Am I cool? Am I not cool? It was almost like, it was like where God put you in a filing cabinet, or where life put you in a filing cabinet of how cool
Starting point is 00:14:34 or whatever your status was in the world at that moment. Like do you sit by the kid who's playing a game boy or a suite, you know, a game boy at the time? Would you, okay, do I sit by him? That dude's a nerd. Do I sit in this seat? Sometimes you sit in a seat and or a suite, you know, a game boy at the time. Would you, okay, do I sit by him? That dude's a nerd. Do I sit in this seat? Sometimes you sit in the seat and they'd have a, you know, something weird kid in there, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:53 My mom's missing, you know? And you're like, oh, fuck, dude. You know, and the kid's got fucking rope burns on his wrist and shit. You know, and you're like, what are you? Is everything okay at the house? And he's like, we love Houdini. He's just saying like, we watch David Blaine videos
Starting point is 00:15:11 or just something, whatever somebody told you know, his captors told him to say or whatever. And then you get to the next row. And it was like two girls that had just gotten their first thing of fucking lipstick, right? And their moms was on pills and so they were, they were just like, just had made their lips like as big as just, I mean, they just, as big as mine. And you were like, okay, do I sit by the jocks? The jock seem real cool. They're, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I don't sit there. It was kind of where you figured out where you sit, you know? You know, do I sit by, you know, the girls know it's hard. It was like, oh, God, that's a cute girl. She's kind of quiet, you know, then there was some kid like who had a broken arm or something like, I'm not fucking sitting my old bad luck handsome right there. That dude, but that was always a crazy time. I remember getting on to the school bus and be like, okay, where do I sit?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Am I cool? Am I not cool? And you couldn't get to the back of the bus was like the old kids. You had to, so if you weren't old, you had to figure that out for you got to the back. You know, and finally you duck in somewhere where just somebody seems safe enough or cure or just nervous enough or uncertain enough is yourself. And you sit down and you make sure, okay, I got my book bag, I'm okay, I got my shoes
Starting point is 00:16:47 on, I got my hands on, everything's fine. You know, when you sit there and you just look forward and then the bus driver and all. And I don't wanna say it, but I said it. And that's what somebody would call the bus driver and then she would stop. She would stop. But because I think she questioned her sexuality and she would pull that bitch over.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And that's when it got insane, you know, and it was like, I just want to go to school. I can't fucking live like Mad Max every morning, just because I want social studies. But God, that was harrowing, man. That was harrowing, getting to school. And then remember you would, sorry, it's just school time. So I'm just reminiscing in my head. Remember you would talk, the night before whatever you talked to your friends, okay, we're gonna meet. We meet by the overhang, by the tree. We meet right there.
Starting point is 00:18:02 We meet at eight 810, right? That's when we get, it's like smooth as could be. Everybody knows what to do. But then you would walk, you'd start walking up and everybody's meeting at the same spot. And you're like, I don't know what to do. And then some kid runs up and he's like, some kid named Damien or whatever and he's like
Starting point is 00:18:25 our house burned down. And you're just like, what the hell is going on? It was just a lot, man. The first day of school was a lot and everybody had their new clothes on. You were so scared about who's gonna look at you Who was thinking about you Make sure you walk normal left right seem cool seem cool. Are you cool? No, you're not pretend you are bitch That was the kind of shit that was going on in my head
Starting point is 00:18:59 Seen fucking cool motherfucker What is wrong with you you little bitch, huh? I will chew your ass cheeks off of your off of the back of your wiener you little bitch That's kind of what like the voice in my head would be like it would be like seen cool And I remember when you had so much acne dude my whole face was just acne and Like if I smiled, like four pimples would pop. It was, I was afraid to make any,
Starting point is 00:19:36 like crazy facial things. Like any, I don't know what they're called. Like, what's it called when you're like, you go like, you know, like, ooh, you know, or exclamations, I guess. So what else do I remember about back to school? If you guys have some back to school moments that you really reflect, don't want you to hit the hotline with them. Maybe I'll try to make a special clip next week that we can put out that's just about that.
Starting point is 00:20:12 But yeah, I remember that back to school, it was just nothing like it. It was just such a, the build up to it was just insane. And getting there and, and sitting in your desk, okay, I'm safe. I'm in my desk, you know, and you just I never wanted to be alone. I always wanted to be with somebody with a buddy walking with a friend like because if you were alone and it felt like you were susceptible to anything. But if you were with some friend, you felt pretty okay. Not here by myself. God, I just remember all of that. Mmm, flim-key-t, flim-key, flim-key-t. Yeah, just drive around the film kit.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Film kit. Do you mean flea market? Um, what's up? Yeah, I know Morgan Walling cut his hair and we can't handle it and we don't know how to deal with it. But you know what, it's not our thing. It's his hair and he can do what he wants with it. And we just, I don't know, you don't know how to feel about it because it's something new.
Starting point is 00:21:38 But that's okay. What do we have in the universe that's happening today? I want to thank you guys. I want to thank you for just for coming out the places people have come out recently. I get mad. Some of them have just, we went up through like a bus tour through up to Atlantic City and Phil, connectic, and I think that's that British came over and did that. The British, dude. And I know we gotta get over there and perform in Britain soon,
Starting point is 00:22:11 but can you believe? Being British has to be wild, you know? Because you don't really, you don't have any superheroes. You don't have really any superheroes. You have, you know? Cause you don't really, you don't have any superheroes. You don't have really any superheroes. You have, you have Paddington Bayer, right?

Starting point is 00:30:32 My mother used to live out there and she, so she used to live in the hills over there somewhere doing something, spending time with some man. And it wasn't my daddy, I didn't know that man. I say, fitin' good, fitin' good. But God, what a beautiful place. We had a great time there. Then went over to Memphis and did some shows over there. Memphis is, you know, it's Memphis, baby. You know, you'll be, you know, somebody, they'll, you'll be having a fish. You'll order you a cut of fish,
Starting point is 00:31:03 somewhere have two bullets in it like damn bruh This thing guy pop though They put pop pop pop pop pop Now you get you a little car up and you're left, but you know Some of you little somebody been but damn just damn pump beat it to death like God They killed this day has brass knuckle wounds on the side of it. Went to Graceland. And that was pretty impressive. You know, it was just just beautiful to see. You know, Elvis, I mean, as much as he spent his life,
Starting point is 00:31:43 you know, and he reaped a lot of rewards at a beautiful home there and a place for his mother to be. And it was just fascinating to see just kind of this place that he that was peaceful to him. You know, apparently he didn't, Elvis didn't drink much. So, and when he was at home, he didn't party much in Graceland. It was just a kind of a place to relax. His family was there as mother and, um, and grandmother, I believe, lived there. So that was a place that he was kind of like a respite for him, a relaxation type of place. And, um, yeah, so that was just, just incredible to see what was hip and what was vibing at that time.
Starting point is 00:32:28 And uh, it's a great thing. It's a great little tour if you get to go see it. And then his grave is right. I didn't realize that. So you go through this man's home and then you step out and he's right there. You know, he's his there next to his family and just powerful. He's there next to his family and just powerful. And there's how much he committed to entertainment. But yeah, we had a great time over there in Graceland. You know, I want to take a moment to just express my sadness for Maui and for Hawaii. And for Lahaina and the township there that really was just devastated by these fires.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I've gotten to spend some time over there. It's a beautiful place. And it's just heartbreaking. You know, it's heartbreaking. It's really interesting how this happened or why, because a lot of, there's not a lot of natural fires over there. A lot of it's using man-made or man calls, you know.
Starting point is 00:33:35 And so, I don't know, that doesn't, I guess, super matter, just the fact that I know there's a lot of people over there who are struggling or who have family that are struggling. And just uncertain, uncertain that they had something occur. And now they don't know what to do. You know, they used to be so sure, probably, of things. And now some of the some things are vague. They don't know, you know, and just that uncertainty, um, it's just gotta be really tough. So just thinking of those folks today and, uh, just taking some time to open my heart
Starting point is 00:34:16 up to the world and, and, and, and, and share those feelings that, uh, just maybe I can take some of the pain that any of them are feeling or any of us can, you know. I think that's what I try to do sometimes when I'm praying for a group or thinking about other people. You know, I say, hey, God, you know, I'm healthy enough today. If they have extra pain, let me have some of it. If you can take it off of those folks, you know, I think it's what we all kind of do
Starting point is 00:34:44 when we're praying That's what prayer kind of is to me. It's like saying hey, I know there's some there's too much here probably for someone to handle How can is there something I give me a scoop of it? you know Give me a scoop of it daddy and but yeah, gonna hopefully find some places to donate online. And some of that stuff gets a little clear as to like, safe places to donate because a lot of scammers
Starting point is 00:35:13 come out. But anyway, just letting the people of Maui and Hawaii and Lahana know that they're being thought of. And I know that they are by many. So anyway, just want to express that. Yeah, I mean, one of the wild things in Lhana, they have this big beautiful bañat tree. Banñ. Banñat tree in the Lahana fire. It's just, it's just, it's this tree that, I mean, it's got 40 trees built into a tree. It's like a tree's like, hey, watch me work. That's what it's just like.
Starting point is 00:36:00 It's unbelievable. When you see this tree, you're just like, God, how did it do it? The branch will go up and then the branch will come down to the ground and do it just, it'll become another tree into the ground. It's like a bunch of trees, it's like a bunch of trees just being buddies. It was an unbelievable, it was like a group of trees. It was like tree six
Starting point is 00:36:27 mafia dude. It was you were like, how is this a gang? What is this is unreal? Yeah, it was just unbelievable. If you can look at this tree, there's some pictures of it right here if you're on the YouTube and just I'd never seen a tree like this I didn't know what tree could do this kind of thing and So that was very impressive But anyway, it's just an example of the ability of nature over there when you get so close to nature And you're right up on that nut That's what Hawaii is boy. You're balancing on nature's nut. I mean, it is fucking natural, boy. You put your ear up to the ground and that bitch will tell you a fucking secret.
Starting point is 00:37:13 You know, it's just Hawaii. There's, you are in the day. You are in, in the, in the damn, vulva of creation right there. I mean, what, there,, they're, it's un-believeable. It's the only place where you could fall down on the ground and get better. Like, that's how much Nate, that's how rich the soil is. You'll fall down and get up and you're, you're stronger than you were. Like, yeah, damn. You know, it's just that kind of a place. And if you see the footage over there, oh, anyway, God, I mean, this looks like the end
Starting point is 00:37:50 of the earth. I mean, of course, a lot of these videos, too, they try to make it seem so much crazier, but I mean, this is unbelieved. This looks like post-apocalyptic or something. I mean, if you haven't seen this, it's unbelievable. Yeah, just heartbreaking, man. Really, really heartbreaking. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to bring people's day down,
Starting point is 00:38:18 but just trying to, say, let us take a moment if you have.

I was in the cold plunge earlier, could be real honest and, I'm losing it today. I was in the cold plunge earlier. It could be real honest, and so I'm fucking... I'm feeling alive, and I'm grateful for that.
Starting point is 00:44:52 And then we're going to go down to Alabama to visit my family. But what's the best way to introduce my Filipino boyfriend to my family? Everybody's very white, and I don't know, I'm super nervous about the whole, I guess, an racial thing as bad as that sounds like. And my family's not racist, but still just like a different culture. Oh yeah, I know what you mean, honey. Yeah, it's not, it's just a little bit of daytime racism, maybe what you're talking about. That's nothing violent, nothing crazy, just every now and then, it's like you got something stuck in your teeth.
Starting point is 00:45:32 You didn't even have any meat, but you just have, I'm like, what is that? Is that an in-word? You know what I'm saying? You don't know, sometimes you're like, that's from previous culture. Sometimes we still get things stuck in our teeth. Just because other people been having beef, you know. But I think the of all, do a gender reveal. That's what I would do. Hide
Starting point is 00:46:10 in behind a tree, let everybody in your family guess what ethnicity is going to be, and then run him out there. You know, now the crazy thing that happens sometimes, if you run out of, because look, there's a variety of Asians, we know it They're making more Asians every time you crack open a book. There's another, you know Are you crack open a tunnel somewhere in Vietnam and they got six, you know two and a half new Asians in there. You're like, nah You know, they're always reconfiguring. They're always moving a molecule here. You know, carrying the one moving the decimal neck, you know, you got Vietnamese, Chinese, chimpanzees. What are? Who else? Oh, Malaysian.
Starting point is 00:47:13 What the, all of a sudden, you got Malaysian, you got something in front of Asian. You know, you got Vietnamese, youamesh and you got Chinnesh and you got Negresh. Now, if you meet somebody that's Negresh and that's new, there's some of them. But there's all there's, there's just, you never know, things are, God is doing so much that they're just unlimited. Asians have been, I've met so many new Asians, it's unreal. It is unreal, boys.
Starting point is 00:47:52 And all of them, beautiful, beautiful Asians. So that's what I would do. I would do a ethnicity reveal, where you put them in a box or put them behind a tree. And then you let your family guess what ethnicity is gonna be and then get one of those smoke things and maybe it makes I don't want to say yellow smoke. I mean that's you can't do that. That's racist Just you know what don't do the smoke That's racist. Just, you know, what? Don't do
Starting point is 00:48:26 the smoke thing. Have him come out from behind the tree and say, here he is. Yeah. But if people guess, make sure they don't guess anything real racist. That's, that's going to be uncomfortable. You know, so. But yeah, I think you can handle it and I'm excited for you guys and You know, I think having a little Asian baby is beautiful You know, I used to have a lot of dreams and there were Asian children in them And nothing was illegal in it and it was It was it was cool man. You know, there's just something about an Asian where you are, you want to just, you want
Starting point is 00:49:14 to, you want to do that to a boy, you want to get it right up on him. Hey buddy. I love you, I love you. You want to get it right up on your, hey, buddy. I love you, I love you. You want to treat them well. So, but no, I appreciate it. And I think, uh, yeah, and Filipinos, they are the, um, I mean, they're just so good. They're so good.
Starting point is 00:49:45 I read somewhere. I think it was graffiti or something. It was like if you break open God's heart, that there's probably 30 Filipinos in there. Split in an orange or just dividing up a bag of fruit or something. You want to keep your hair? Morgan Wall lost his hair. We ought to wait, you know, who did it? Why they did it?

One city had too much nut in it. Where was it? City. Is it burnt? I don't know. It might be urban legend or whatever, or even just a white legend.

I'm, I think about it like this. And I'm'm what if you saw an animal somewhere? Some kind of animal. What if you walked up on a lion, bro? Lions are tough, man. They're brave, they're fierce, right?

Starting point is 00:58:21 And you're watching him look at a screen and jerk his body off and bust that fucking and bust that percony that little sugar nougat right out of him. And just bust that just it would make you sad man. It would make you sad, man. It would make you sad. And I think that's the same thing that God or not, I'm not trying to put like a godly pressure, but I think that's the same thing at the eyes of the university when they look at us.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Sometimes like they am, bro. And I think it does something to us over time. It weakens us. I really do. I'm not blaming anybody shit I spent my whole 20s breaking them breaking these nuts off For nobody for different plumbing Anyway, we've gone off the rails here today Here's a call we had come in
Starting point is 00:59:22 This is a Tristan from North Carolina Tristan from North Carolina. Tristan. Thank you, brother, for calling North Carolina beautiful. That's where Caleb Pressley's to live and play quarterback. Let's just say it like that. I'm Is it gay to sleep with a shirt but nothing below the waist? Hmm Is gay is gay to sleep with a dude? That's the real litmus test I think Onward, let me know all right later. Okay. Got that one easy. A.P.O.
Starting point is 01:00:10 I'm from Arkansas, man. Hey, brother. And thank you for calling in, man. And it's a beautiful state. My buddy Justin is from Arkansas. And he likes to gun down him. Gobblers. Last night we let the liquor talk. from Arkansas and he likes to gun down him goblers.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Last night we let the liquor talk onward. I got this new law where you have to get on pornography. You've got to verify your identity, you know, to get on there. And I'm 30 so I'm old enough, but I just really don't want to put my, you know, all my information on these sketchy porn sites. So I was just wondering if you had any contact information for that guy that's really good titties, man, if you could just let me know, get back with me, please. Yeah, well, I'll tell you the original website, maybe it's your imagination. And that's the one, if you want to brew up a batch of damn knockers, baby, that's it. That'll do it. That's the one to use, Man, that's the internet God gave us right there is that
Starting point is 01:01:11 imagination. It really is. You know, and that was the internet that we had before we had the internet. And I think it's interesting. I was just talking about this on that previous call and I'll try to be more serious here about it or something or for some reason I'm feeling more serious suddenly. Because I've had this same instance, you know, I was keyed on the only fan and I was trying to get on there and it said you, well, we need your information. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, buddy. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm just trying to, you know, daddy's trying to, you know, I'm just trying to, you know, that is trying to,
Starting point is 01:01:47 you know, I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to, you know, robust, you know, I'm just trying to robust myself, you know, or really, you know, I'm trying to see something, you know, but it's funny, I didn't want to put my information in. So I said, oh, I can't do this. I don't want anybody to know, and I don't want one of these sketchy sites knowing my information.
Starting point is 01:02:07 But I'm willing to blast my DNA, which is the greatest information I have of myself. I'm willing to leave that in the damn neighbor's yard if it means getting that newty off. You know, if it means churning up that gizm, that through my kit. So that's, I found it interesting too, man. I don't think there's a way around it.
Starting point is 01:02:35 I think it's good. In fact, I, you know, I think it's good. I think pornography really, and I'm not saying I have a wash, I'm not saying I haven't seen it in the past week, cause cause you know, but I think it has definitely done a lot of harm to men. And I think it's going to be something that, it's funny because would you want your kid on there? There are people like I don't want my cat. If I catch my kid on porn, I'm gonna beat whoop his butt
Starting point is 01:03:13 But then they'll be on porn Now I'm not pointing at these people saying there are many different. I'm just saying it's interesting So it's a lot there's there's there's some lines out there that we as men we got to start to we got to start to You know we got to put that steam in the kettle Because there's something else that happens when you're when you're when you keep all your all your Your man in the boat You see you you sail with a you feel like a tribe. When someone looks in your eyes, you, you, you, you were of what you're supposed to be
Starting point is 01:03:52 of. You know, I just don't know. I don't know if a little bit of the world gets sad if we're just squeezing out. You know, if we're just, you know, frost and invisible strutles out in the world. But anyway, I'm okay with the porn laws. I'm okay with blockers on my phone and computer, because those help me. You know, give me a little bit of a space before I'm about to go do something naughty to myself God Anyway, what else do we got? Let's see if we can get another call here I'm going on video and it's Chris
Starting point is 01:04:37 From Dallas, Dallas, Texas What's up, Christopher from Dallas and thank you for calling brother. Appreciate you onward The black guy, you know, living out here. Okay, a black guy. Thank you for calling, buddy. A brother. I don't know. Brut by Chris.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Thank you for calling, bud. Quick question. And I mean, kind of go through things. Try to find meaning right now. I've been trying to build my life, try to find a meaning right now. I've been trying to build my life, start my life, you know. And I really can't find the funds, things like that. I don't know where to look. I don't know where to look to get that starter pack, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:20 because life is creating family and house. So it's like that. So you can feel kind of pumped out. Super anxious about it. You know, it's a lot of anxiety. I just want to see, you know, what kind of words you got from you then. Keep my head high.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Keep my head high. Keep everything on up and up. And you know, I don't. Gang, baby. Thank you for calling Chris. Um, you know, gang, baby, thank you for calling Chris. Um, you know, we got a guy coming in who knows a lot about meaning. Uh, he's a smart guy. This guy, John Verveki is going to come in and talk.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I'm going to get to sit down with him. I'm a little nervous because he's very smart. Um, or he has a lot of information, you know, we all judge, his smart can be a relative term. But yeah, finding having meaning is important. You know, and I think there is, and if we want meaning these days, we have to find it in ourselves.
Starting point is 01:06:22 And also in having a sense of community, you know, I think there's two searches that a man goes on. There's one is his own search. How do I have meaning? It's scary to ask yourself, too, man, do I mean anything? Do I mean anything to myself? Man, that's a scary one, isn't it? Do I mean anything to myself?
Starting point is 01:06:45 Man, that's interesting. If I'm thinking to myself, man, do you mean, do you, do you mean anything to yourself? Wow. I think my answer or what I'm feeling right now, I feel like I haven't at times, I haven't meant anything to myself. But I'm not trying to make self pity. I feel sorry to myself, not for myself, I feel sorry to myself that I had chosen or that I was feeling that way. Because I'm having trouble getting the book cause. I don't, maybe I don't have a book cause right now.
Starting point is 01:07:50 I just feel like, man, I'm sorry that I, I know it's weird to think that I'm talking to myself, but, hey, man, I'm sorry that I, that I didn't, that you didn't mean, man, I'm sorry that I that I didn't that that you didn't mean. I'm getting a little confused, but I'm trying not to do do I mean something to myself. There's been times where I didn't mean anything to myself. And I think at the time I didn't know how to mean something to myself. I didn't even know that I didn't. I just felt a certain way that I think it was just low self-worth. I wasn't worth a lot to myself. And now I think that I feel a little bit, I feel less of that. I'm able to say back to my previous self, hey man, I'm sorry that I'm sorry you felt that way, because that's not the truth.
Starting point is 01:09:08 The truth is you always meant something to you. You just weren't able to access it or more than aware of it. I don't know, that's a really interesting question. It's got me... It's hard to show you what I'm thinking sometimes. Or to know if you're able to follow clearly with what I'm thinking or feeling, because I'm trying to feel it and say it at the same time. That's hard for me sometimes.
Starting point is 01:09:39 But if you're thinking on this on a different level, first of all, I'm glad you're making this call because you're thinking about it. Yeah, what do I mean? It's something we need to ask ourselves. You know, what do I, I'm glad you're making me think, what do I mean to me? Do I mean anything to someone? Am I doing something where I deserve to mean something to someone? Am I creating a realistic environment for meaning?
Starting point is 01:10:12 I've struggled, definitely struggled with that. Now, if you're meaning, how do I get started in my life? I'll tell you the best way, if you're poor, because I grew up right there, bro. If you poor walk outside, look next door, bro. Hey, bitch, that's me, bro. That's where I live right there. That was that right there. I'm not saying no flex. I'm not just saying, but this is how you get out of that. I'm not just saying, but this is how you get out of that.
Starting point is 01:10:47 There's the number one job way I find a get out of that, is go get you if you don't have no possibility, like if you're smart and you're gonna have, or if you, I don't wanna say smart, if you do well at school, that's one way, right? You can do this, you can get you a job. That's one way to get out. Here's another way, if you're not that, if you don't love school, if that's not really your thing,
Starting point is 01:11:07 you still wanna get out of there, but you don't wanna do something illegal. Get you a pressure washer, bro. 100% cut, get you that little spray rig, bro. Go around, drive to the nice neighborhood. The one you go trick or treat, and that you know was good. Go door to door, make you some nice flyers or something,
Starting point is 01:11:28 say you pressure walls, huh? Pressure walls is costly. It's cost you a few hundred bucks, man, and get things wall stuck, signed up. But wealthier people that have something nice, a lot of times they wanna take care of their nice stuff. So they'll hire you to do it. That's the best method that I've seen in my life
Starting point is 01:11:46 of somebody who didn't have, that's one method I've seen. I'm sure there's countless others. But one that I would recommend, if you pour, but you got some work ethic, how do I get to this neck? How do I be a business owner? And look, you're not gonna pressure wash your whole life, but that's gonna get you started. But that's the best thing. Let me tell you how's pressure washer. How much? How much for a decent pressure washer? Oh, bro, they got the nice one right here. This
Starting point is 01:12:18 32 hundred PSI hell yeah, bro. That'll fucking part your hair, bro, that'll part your scalp. That's shit. Dang, though, that thing's $330. So you can get you a low-end haul runner for $300. You in the game. Now you might want to get an LLC after you do your first couple of runs. If you get somebody to work for you, you might want to get some insurance, but out the gate, man, if you get up and start working with this thing, you can make some money. So that's my current tip. People may say, well, I, and if you got a good way, that's not drugs, or selling a, uh, putzer wiener, and you want to tell somebody how to get out the, uh,
Starting point is 01:13:04 Putthir Wayne or and you want to tell somebody how to get out the Out of the Poor neighborhood or get out of poverty have some have some Meaning it's a this is a small way to have meaning but anyway brother, but those are some ways that I've you know That is one way that I've seen if you're looking for some way to get out um But otherwise if you're just looking generally for meaning, how do you get a house, that kind of, man, some of that stuff will come, but how to create meaning is a great question.
Starting point is 01:13:36 How to create meaning for myself. I think it's some, I'm still figuring out. I'm gonna think more about it though and try to talk about it again. And thank you for the call. What's one other call that came in here? Let's see about this. Hey, CEO.
Starting point is 01:14:00 This is Donnie from Tucson, Arizona. Donnie from Tucson. and I got busted for drugs, and I had to go live with my mother there for six months. And I went to Santa Rita High School over there. And kids were fist fighting. Oh, you want a box on me? I was fucking fighting you, though. And the Mexican kids always talk like this, though.
Starting point is 01:14:26 Looking straight at the sky. I'd be like, dude, are you talking to me? And like, okay, I'm talking to you, though. Like, they could have been talking to anybody, bro. These dudes were talking about getting an astronaut, though. Dog, I'm talking to fucking, no. Fucking man, it's honor strong, though. dog I'm talking to fucking nah um fucking nice I'm strong dog the first got to walk on the moon like do you
Starting point is 01:14:50 mean that's Neil Armstrong do you like yeah whatever motherfucker you want a fucking box so I went over there to San Rita high school where they had alarms every day because there was Mexicans fighting and doing um Mexican fighting and doing Mexican fighting. And I have to lay down on the ground because the alarm would go off.
Starting point is 01:15:13 It was a riot alarms. You have to lay down and eat a burger while you were laying down. So that was launch every day. Onward anyway, sorry, making this about me. I just had a question, man. So I've been in a relationship with this girl for three years, and she just cheated on me. And I relapsed, man. I started taking Zenex again, and she's the reason I got off of it.
Starting point is 01:15:40 But after I found out she did that another man was touching her. I don't know. I just lost it, man. And I don't know what to do. I've taken two weeks off of work right now and I'm trying to get back on my seat, but I just can't stop thinking about her and can't, can't focus anymore, man. I'm just feeling very lost. You know, I'm only 22 and I don't know what to do. I hope you hear this, man. I know you get a lot of calls and gang brother, I appreciate a man. Thanks for the call and I'm sorry that you're going through this moment. Yeah, that's tough because then you got two addictions really. And it sounds like the addiction really, I'm no, I'm no scientist, you know it, I'm no medicine man for therapist. But a lot of times I thought I had a drug problem, but a lot of my drug use was instigated
Starting point is 01:16:48 by interactions with women. Right, so a certain thing would happen with a woman, I would feel some rejection, or I would feel some type of way, or I couldn't communicate, and then I would do using drugs. So my really had kind of two addictions. I had an addiction to,
Starting point is 01:17:11 I had an addiction to a relationship staying in a certain space. And if it got out of that space, I couldn't, I was off the rails. And then to help myself, I would use a drug, you know, to help put some control Because some things about drug some drugs. It's like I just want to control how I feel right now That's it took about control time about sometimes being fucked. Yeah, it's like
Starting point is 01:17:41 The byproduct of that, but I want to control how I feel right this since it's about controlled That's why I didn't love drink I like cocaine bitch I want to fuck I'm gonna fucking fair. That's what I'll you know. Anyway I don't know if I'm I don't know if I'm being a Vinny servic. Let me listen more to I spray found out she did that another man was touching her I don't know I just lost it man, and I don't know what to do I've taken two weeks off of work right now and I'm trying to get back on my seat, but I just can't stop thinking about her and can't Can't focus anymore, man I'm right so right there. You're saying I can't focus anymore, man. Right, so right there, you're saying,
Starting point is 01:18:25 I can't stop thinking about her. So that's really the impetus of the issue. Man, I think there's groups called sex and love addiction, intimacy addiction, that kind of thing. You may reap something from it. You know, it's people that, you know, they call it sex and love addiction,
Starting point is 01:18:50 but a lot of times it's just, you know, I remember if a woman broke up with me or treated me some type of way, I meant I couldn't fucking breed, brother. It shook me. Because the only way I valued myself was if I had some, if there was a value from a woman. That's the only way that I valued myself. In the second that gun uncertain or they weren't, they didn't value me or they valued somebody
Starting point is 01:19:17 else. Oh gosh brother. I was, I didn't have a chance, man. I didn't have a chance because I didn't have anything else that was holding me up. The only thing that was holding me up was how you, what you felt about me or if you thought I was, if you thought I was okay, that's the only thing that was, that, that was my legs. And once that was gone, man. Now this was at a different time in my life, you know, but I can really relate to that, man, I'm sorry that you're dealing with that.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Now AA still helped me. And that may be a great place for you to start. Would be to hit some AA meetings, man. You can start with those on Zoom. You can even keep your camera off in some of them. So if you just want to sit there and listen, and listen for the similarities, not the differences. That's what people say when you go into those rooms.
Starting point is 01:20:12 I'm not trying to preach, I'm not trying to tell you what to do. But yeah, God, that's a harrowing pain too. Because I think always, when I was, it was always so hard. It felt like to get a woman to care about me. And once one did, man, it was, oh, you know, it was just, it was a lot. Anyway, I'm getting into a little, I don't know if it's self-pity, but I'm getting into a little something that's, you know, I just want to make sure that I'm keeping it focused on you, but I love you brother and keep your head up and you can do it, but you have to take some action. You have to take some action, okay, or that kind of stuff will stick around. That same behavior will happen in next time that you have a relationship that happens.
Starting point is 01:21:05 All right, let's take another call here. Hey, Sam, it's Gavin Hans from a little bit lower from Albany, New York. Gavin up there in Albany, where are Albany, are Albany?

Sometimes you want to have something that's just keeping you at a comfortable level And I'm glad it was a low-key episode where we were able to just be there for you as you lay there. And fucking just took it from those bees. And I hope they weren't men. That's the gaiiest thing I think about getting stung by bees. It's like, was that a male? I'm if you've ever had that where you just, it fucking two of them sting you and you're like, God, was that that two men like somebody at least check that thing? You know, check that thing for that little for that honey clam. Maybe that check that B for some good.
Starting point is 01:23:57 You know, but anyway, I don't know that shouldn't matter. It shouldn't matter. God does what he wants. Um, yeah, look, I don't know where else we go from this. There's a lot of great calls that have come in. I tried my best. Sometimes people want different things out of different calls. It's always great to think together.
Starting point is 01:24:22 Things in my own life I've been dealing with. There's no struggle. I've been struggling to, you know, just worried about my own ego. You know, it's, that can be very scary. I've been dealing with some social anxiety a little bit. And some anger, sometimes I, you know, still battle an anger, a lot of anger. And I'll notice that my anger isn't attached. It doesn't attach to the right things. Something will come up in an unnecessary amount of angst.
Starting point is 01:24:53 And anger will be attached to that. And it's like, man, this, hey, buddy, this anger doesn't fit right here, you know? And so I'm having to kind of look at that and talk with my therapist about that. Like, why is, what am I doing here? You know? And having to talk to myself, hey, buddy, you shouldn't be this upset about this thing. So there's some something in here that isn't correct, right? Or isn't not correct, but isn't, it's not aligned the right way.
Starting point is 01:25:24 So let's look at this and figure it out. But I love the call about meaning. Yeah, some great things for you guys to think about and give us some suggestions. If you have a good suggestion, you want, if you grew up in poverty, you grew up in a poor place, what's a good way to get to another level?

But something of that, you got to get to a level where you can afford that kind of money. That's still, you know, having some money to put into something like a, you know, even 10 or 20 grand to put on to an apartment or home or that, that we got to get, we're talking a step before that and we don't want to sell drugs or pills or DIY abortions or anything like that.
