#631 - Free Magic

21:37It started off with Every Day of May, I'm going to do 100 push-ups. Two years ago, my every day of May challenge was every day of May, I'll do 500 push-ups a day. 500 push-ups? Man, you're going to be up. Then you're going to be as up all the way up. What? That's amazing. Onward? Every day of May, I'll do 500 push-ups a day, every day of May. I think it's a really good thing to push on to people. I think it's a great way to kick off. It's like the middle of the year. We've kind of all pissed off with our, you know, we stopped doing our yearly, what do they call it? New Year's revolution. New Year's.

22:16Yeah, you don't even know what it's called, dude. So obviously you're not getting it done. And that's fine. Sorry. Go more. Resolutions where, you know, I'm going to work out this year. Everyone's kind of stopped already. But let you know about that one since you did not call it out. Want to let you know that love you, Theo. All of us fans love you. You're the best. thank you brother I appreciate the nice words man every day in May that's a nice one because it kind of takes on a challenge you know like once there was this thing that was going around a while back it was like 76 hard or something and it was like you had to meet somebody that was born in 1976 and show them your cock you feel me uh anyway yeah but that yeah some that's how you would hear like that's an old trucker joke but uh but yeah I like that every day in May.

23:07Because that you're saying, hey, I'm gonna do something here. Because people have New Year's revolutions and them bitches are horrible. You know, my buddies was like, yeah, he's like, I'm not gonna stalk my ex. And I'm gonna learn a new language. I'm like, well, that's good. It's a lot, you know, it just could be a lot. So anyway, I don't know what I'm talking about. Who cares? It's the end of the year, dude. I used up all my good words throughout the year. I'm at the bottom of the bag, dude. I'm just down here shaking vowels around, you know? You know what stopped me from investing in the past was just that I didn't know.

23:43I didn't know the value of putting away a little bit at a time. I didn't know that it builds on itself, that it can create more, which can create more. I didn't know that time was really my greatest asset. I felt like I just didn't have enough money at the time.

Shout out, Charlie, boy. Hey, I just wanted to call in and comment on the, you know, you talking about 2000, September.

26:22we got uh oh what do you say 11th June it's 16 but yes onward you know me and my family um a lot of times around the holidays what we'll do you know we'll do a uh and maybe not me personally but I I know uh a lot of the a lot of the ladies in my family they like to do a a 40 quiff Kwanzaa you know 40 quiff Kwanzaa wow yeah I um yeah I I didn't even know it you know gesundheit uh yeah let me get you let me get your family a box of kleenex brother let's hear more brother as you know what i'm saying uh let me know if uh if you know anybody in uh in your life that likes to do a 40 please ponzo let me let you know i don't know you told us about it so i don't even know about it that's new to me um but that's a great one that is a great one man and that's tough, I think, to...

27:20I don't know how you exactly arrange that. Because I don't know if that's a seasonal thing. I don't know if that's definitely like something that happens more in the spring to women because of pollen. If that's bigger... If that brings it on or whatever.

27:40All right. Let's get another couple of calls here that came in. Hi, Dio. I've been watching you for a while, and it really helps with the situations people go through hearing them out. And it just makes everything easier. Right now I'm going through a situation I didn't ever think I would be the one to be calling you, but things end up how they are. I just need some advice right now, and I don't know what to do. My girlfriend, I've been with my girlfriend for four years. Okay, thank you, brother, for sharing that information. Let's hear more. She's basically, I'm 22 to start off. I'm 22. She's 19.

28:24We started dating young about four years ago, and she really changed my life. I wasn't on the right path, and she helped me out a lot. She got me through addiction. She got me through all of my problems in my life, and I left my house to be with her. I left my home with my family when I was 18 years old. I wasn't living in an ideal spot, so I decided to leave and pursue a life with her. And we've been up and down over the years, but it just came to a point where I guess she got bored or tired or I don't know, because she just lost interest in me. And we recently decided to split, not split, but just, like, take a break.

29:07And I left the apartment that we lived in for a little bit to go be with my family just for, like, a month or two, just to take some time apart. And I just received the text a week ago that she ended up getting pregnant by another guy.

29:24And it just hurts. I just don't know what to do. I don't know who to tell. I don't know. Well, thanks for letting us know what's going on, brother. Yeah, if you leave your apartment for a month or something and somebody and your ex or your girl gets pregnant, that's a tough thing. And that's wild. You know, if I'm real honest with you, when you talked about the buildup to you guys' relationship, you said that, you know, she helped you get through addiction, she helped you with this, and she kind of helped solve all your problems, and you guys moved in together. It felt like to me that you were putting way too many, you was putting way too many candles on the altar of her for y 'all's for your well-being you know like she's the reason for all of these things as opposed to you're the reason for some of them or you guys' union I think can be a catalyst for more positivity but to put that much energy where it's like she was the reason everything got better and I left my family to be with her it just that feels like it's a lot.

30:37It feels like a lot of pressure, which is okay, bro. I mean, I definitely, yeah, I put, yeah, I had like, when I was in a relationship, it would be like, this girl was almost like, you know, it'd be like a girlfriend, but also it's like times she was like my mother. It was just like, there was all this weird other energy that I was attaching that I didn't know it to the relationship I was in. So I was expecting like this girlfriend to be so many things.

31:08And more than a human could really be because you got to stand on your own business of your own feelings in your heart. You got to have 10 toes on you.

31:22So yeah, I just felt like, man, I felt like you were putting a lot on that. And no judgment. I'm not judging. I'm just kind of looking at it. Dude, yeah, I was like, oh. One time I stayed with a girl that I was, you know, I thought I was in love with them, but really I was just, I didn't want to be alone type shit. I also, dude, I once stayed with a girl. This is the worst thing to even admit. God, I feel horrible. I stayed with a girl that I couldn't stand. I couldn't really stand her. I loved her also, though, at the same time. And that's how love works. You know what I'm saying? Love, I'll give you a bouquet of flowers, but it'll have a knife in the middle of it.

32:07That's just how love is. But, dude, I stayed with this girl one time because I didn't want her to find a guy. I didn't want her to find a guy that would actually care about her. That's crazy, bro. That's crazy. And I didn't know at the time that's what I was doing. and but yeah that's what i was like man i'm not breaking up with her because she might find somebody that actually cares about her fuck that's crazy does that sound too crazy to even say trevin no i mean i think it's like the mentality if i can't have her no one can yeah yeah just like desperate young shit you know that romeo and uh julian type shit you know and that's the street version of romeo and julie at romeo and julian bro and that's gay too bro romeo and julian sounds hella gay hollywood will probably come out with it in a week romeo and julian all right fuck it i forgot to even give this guy a suggestion but yeah i think I think it's time to let it go.

33:21It's time to move on. And it's time to tell yourself, because it's tough to put the responsibility of our own feelings about ourself onto ourself. It's easy if I can be like, oh, if she's mad at me or if this is good or this is always a problem with her, then then that keeps me from dealing with anything about me you know I would always have a problem when I was in an early relationship I'd always have a jealous ton of jealousy oh I was so jealous

34:05so yeah I think it's tough bro it's tough to look at ourselves

34:12because if I have somebody else then you know but if I just got me, oh, how scary does that feel?

34:25That's why when I see a candle, I'm always like, that bitch is brave. When I see a fire, that's just like a big orgy or whatever. That's just a big orgy. But I see a candle, I'm like, damn, that bitch is standing on business right there.

34:42so yeah look man and if they're having a child or they're in love or something don't get in there and be raising that child or whatever buying that little uh little little little little top don't don't be buying that little whippersnapper a little bicycle or whatever or get him a little uh shiffer robe or something don't be doing all of that shit don't go down that path i think you got to stand on your own shit and get out get out into your own life bro that's what i feel like and also god bless bro type shit i'm gonna do a hat toss for you bro shout out 845 hat toss bro all right we got a thing right here that fella call up hey theo uh i just been listening to a couple of your podcasts a lot recently and i'm thinking about proposing to my girlfriend three to almost four years.

35:41What's some advice that you would give on doing that? And what's something I could add into doing it? Well, look, I think you got to add some, you have to add some something to it. You have to add some charm because here's the thing, then engagement is kind of the first real moment of a marriage, right? And if that means something, if you put something into that, you're going to put something in everything. maybe I don't know I might be out of my mind but I don't know but I saw this one the other day and this one kind of disappointed me a little bit and this is a fella you can't see this but this is a fella in a in a small home I believe I believe it's a trailer home probably and he's asking his lady to marry her he gets up in the living room near the television it looks like Masked Singer or something is on but that's not part of the engagement story it's just he's standing up and they got a series of pit bulls running around, beautiful animals running around and here we go, he stands up and he's got a ring with him here we go, and he's beckoning her to get off of the couch to come over and see him and I believe the mother-in-law or a friend is recording, let's go Are you going to fart?

36:49Oh You don't want to dance? No

37:06And that's it. She takes the ring, doesn't even hug the guy, walks over to the sofa. So yeah, it's just a while. He kind of gets down on her knees. Or he's standing in the living room. And he's like, come over here. Come here. I mean, that's not a way to start. Come here. Come here. You know, like you're fucking Mortal Kombat. Like, uh, and here's the craziest part. She goes, are you going to fart? Like that's where, you know, and that's almost beautiful, I guess, in a way, because it's like that if you did do a nice fart or something during the holidays that you'd want your loved one to be there for it.

37:43That's, there's something very tribal about that and very, you know, symptomatic or something. Maybe, I don't know. But, but yeah, but in this instance, you can just tell it's not. So anyway, yeah, you don't want to beckon your girl over to hit the knee to propose and she thinks, oh, you're going to fart and you want me to get over there and be a witness to it. Now, also, having someone to witness a great fart is, it's nice, but I think it's also nice. Like, one of my favorite things that Shane Gillis ever told me was that when he was in high school, they would sit in the pews because they were at a Catholic school.

38:29And they would sit in the pews during mass. and every now and then somebody would just rip a butt wrangler off of the wooden pews and just during complete silence when all your friends were in there. And it would just be, I still think about, I still laugh at that sometimes when I'm walking around. So yeah, there's different degrees of handling that, but you want to do something nice. You want to do something that means something. so yeah yeah yeah so just being creative be creative get creative make something and it can be it can be silly it can be kind of ridiculous it could be a scavenger hunt it could be maybe you um feed the ring to an animal maybe you guys like to hunt right so you you hide the ring in some feed for an animal.

39:24The animal eats it. Then you guys go out, hunt, hunt the animal. You get the animal butchered or whatever. And then she, you guys are, you make the meal, bam, is venison or something. You crack it open. And yeah, will you marry me? And then, so I'm just, yeah, there's different ways to do it. but that's it I just think make it mean something man and whatever that means to her as well like what would make her think it's nice what would make her what would mean something you know just don't let it be a fart bro alright let's get into another call or two

40:16what's up Theo it's uh Jack Jack from good old Midland, Texas. We did a shot there in Midland, man. Thank you for the call, Jack. Onward. And I don't know. I was just going to talk about, I feel like sometimes I get a rush to grow up. I'm 18 years old. I graduated high school as a junior. I'm already working. I don't know. Sometimes I just feel like I get in a rush, man. Like I need to slow down, but I also need to get my life together. I don't know. I was just going to see if you had any money. Thanks, brother. Thanks. Sorry to cut you off. Thank you for the call. Yeah. Oh, dude, I've rushed through everything.

41:14Yeah, I don't want to be in anything. I don't want to. oh, I got to be here. I got to stay. I got to do.

41:22Yeah. I got commitment to the law. I got commitment sometimes just to life, to moments. You know, it's hard to slow it down enough.

41:39But I think also some of that rush is you want to be able to control things. Well, if I can get freedom to have some money, if I can get freedom to have my own place, if I can get freedom to have me own car, me own wheels, me own station wagon or whatever, me own wheelbarrow, me own pressure washer, you know, me own bass boat, me own girl from me, you know. Then you're controlling. You're not in anybody else's orbit, really. You're in control of things. So some of that's kind of nice.

42:09You know, when they say discipline equals freedom as well, I mean, Jocko Willink preaches that, that you get things going. when you get things organized and get things cracking. I mean, even like I talk about with that investing app and stuff that I like, it's like, you know, that planning ahead and that strategizing, it helps. You know, if I didn't invest a little bit of change early, I'd have money now. So I think there's a lot of value to that. But yeah. But yeah. Oh, dude, I always want to get through this to get to that. Oh, it'll be better then. Let's just get to that. I'm always out here looking in the distance.

42:56And I'll be tripping over beautiful shit while I'm just looking at who knows what. That's a million miles away.

43:10and I don't know if it's bad or good I think you're like you're saying like you said right in here you said let's play it I'm already working like I don't know sometimes I just feel like I get in a rush man like like I need to slow down but I also need to get my life together there yeah slow down rush you know get my life together i was just gonna see if you had you yeah so that's it man you're you're doing fine meditation will help you slow down for sure to give you a little bit of peace even in moments of uh overwhelmedness so that's that might be all you need you're really sticking to some meditation man that way you can be going fast but you're slow on the inside, baby.

43:55You're in control. You got a cockpit. You're not just running around with your cock. Type shit, boys. Praise God. That's what's up. Hey, Santa. Hey. Let's say you write a letter to Santa telling him how good you've been this year. And then you hand it to your mail carrier. But your mail carrier is the Grinch. There's a reason why you wouldn't let the Grinch deliver holiday mail. Just like there's a reason why Morgan & Morgan is America's largest injury law firm. When you have a problem, you want experts to handle it. Morgan & Morgan has a proven track record of fighting for the people for over 35 years.

44:39With over$25 billion recovered for their clients, Morgan & Morgan knows a thing or two about fighting to get you the compensation you deserve. Not all law firms are the same. Hire the wrong one and you may be beat before you even start. If you're ever injured, you can check out Morgan and Morgan and their fee is free unless they win. For more information, go to for the people.com slash Theo. That's F O R the people.com slash T H E O. This is a paid advertisement. Let's see if one of the call came in. yeah so i went i thought it'd be a fun thing to take my wife to a raid room and we went out for dinner first and everything was good we wasn't arguing or anything and we went in this raid room hell she started beating it beating the piss out of me and really pissed me off i don't know why she done it but kind of turned me on i wanted to swing back but she had a bat in her hand and that didn't look didn't look too fun but it would have been kind of hard to fight her when i was bricked up you know but we went home and had a quiet ride home As soon as we got home, I was so bricked up.

46:09I just ended up just plowing that thing, you know, like, uh-huh. Like, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah, 40 acres and a mule, baby. I was just wondering your advice on that. I don't even know what brought it on. Well, look, there's something. If you watch a woman beat the shit out of a damn Honda Civic or whatever and break all the windows and headlights out of that bitch with a baseball bat,

46:36and you don't get erect,

46:41then you some kind of little hoe.

46:45I mean, shit like that turned me on, dude. Especially where I grew up, dude. Every now and then you'd see a woman come out there angry at her husband or some guy that was having sex with her and not claiming her. and you'd see a woman come out there and beat the book and just beat the dang headlights out of his Caprice classic. God, hell yeah.

47:20No, man, there's nothing wrong with getting erect if you see a woman beating the shit out of something with a bat. I mean, that's why I love the whole movie of League of Their Own. That's what the whole movie is. So there's nothing wrong with that. God, yeah. Now, you're all so lucky. I can't keep an erection around broken glass. Cannot do it. Dude, if my wiener hears a window shatter within probably 80 yards, I think. Just punks a tiny fills right into my nuts, baby. that thing won't be out. That thing just saw its shadow, dog. Eight more weeks of winter down. Yeah. But God, yeah, I used to love that type of shit.

48:08In our neighborhood, this lady used to make me go sit in her car with her. And she'd be all drunk drinking daiquiris. Miss Carol, that was her name. She'd be drinking daiquiris over there.

48:21And she would just tell me she wished I was old enough to drive. I wish you were old enough to drive. I'd let you drive me somewheres. God. I was so fucking erect. I couldn't even. God, I couldn't. My fucking scoliosis was cured. I was just like, oh, God. And then she'd get out. Sometimes she had cut off pants on, and she'd get out and rub her little butt, like rub the bottom of her butt on the damn warm headlights of that car, that vehicle. that's back when headlights used to get warm them bitches used to get warm and she'd just be bending over kind of drinking that daiquiri and rubbing her little tail on that warm light wish you could drive me damn brother hell yeah god i couldn't even i didn't have enough blood flow in my eyes at that moment.

49:21I just had so much erection going on. I didn't even have any blood in my eyes to keep me active. I can barely see. It's like my damn, like my damn brother. He had to come over and rub some of his water in my eyes. Just so that's just, yeah, it must be a family optical disease that we got in certain moments, but, but God is good, brother. At least you have a wife. At least y 'all are going out and doing something. Yeah. Taking your wife to a rage room. That's cute. All that matters is what am I putting into the relationship, whether I'm getting married, whether I'm doing an engagement, you know?

49:56What am I putting into this thing? Am I trying to make some moments special? Because if I don't make some moments special, there ain't going to be no special moments. That's the most I realize that's about life. You know, sometimes I'll be like, man, nothing's exciting. Well, things just aren't exciting. They're not just going to be magic. You got to be your own David Blaine sometimes. Or Chris Angle. Or Kurt Angle even. Shit, I don't care if you wear a damn leotard while you do it. Or a unitard. And body slam somebody. But you got to bring the magic.

50:36Except at Christmas. That's when there's just something kind of built in, you know? there's just something kind of special about it just that sound those kids coming down the stairs you see that christmas tree boy and i'd come later at night too we all would i think i i bet if i asked my siblings we all kind of did people would wake up at a certain you just woke up all night during christmas time you sneak down and at some point the presents would be out like oh they're hiking and half the cookies would be I'd eat two bites out of that bitch hell sometimes I'd come down early and the cookies and milk hadn't been eaten yet I'd drink half that bitch and eat one of them bitches my mom was like who was here but yeah you'd come down and you'd see that tree all lit up

51:40and that was one of the nicest times to kind of go back to bed then you were just excited and it wasn't really about the gifts it was something about the magic of it there was free magic

51:59yeah it just meant something

52:03and that was beautiful those were beautiful times That Christmas spirit That Christmas spirit, man There's something to it There's something to it I want to wish everybody a Merry Christmas And uh

52:23And I'm trying to think of anything else that Needs to be said You know, it's a special time of year It's a special time to forgive ourselves and forgive others? Just to let go. Let go of the ways we've done it.

52:48Yeah, ask God to help us have a new year.

52:54You know, the Lord sent his son, baby, that crazy baby. Jesus, baby. Yahweh, baby. to take away the sins of the world. So let him do it. Let him do it, baby. Lord, drive a dump truck into my heart and take away all this, all this confusion, pain, uncertainty, control, anger, hatred, vitriol, and self-infliction. Take away, just take it. Take it. And recycle me, baby boy. Recycle me. Yeah, I love you guys. Thank you guys so much for letting me be a part of your year. There is some fun stuff that we're going to be doing in the new year. I'm excited. I want to add some new things to the solo episodes that are going to be more like regular occurring type of things.

54:04So I have some like just like light plans and strategy. We want to talk to more miracles. You know, we've got a couple miracles. We had that one fellow that was doing dope that fell off that building and he fell 13 stories or whatever. And he passed by some of his neighbors, remember, and saw them smoking dope on their balcony when he fell. Pretty crazy. And then our other fellow got hit by two trains, baby. Two trains! and God, and he survived. He had headphones on and got hit. Just, whew. God dang, brother, sometime, whew. You wish the Lord would just give you a crosswalk. Give me a crosswalk.

54:50Yeah, that was Dalton. Dalton, baby. Two trays.

Thank you for your service, champ. Omard. And I'm currently driving home to go spend Christmas with my family for the first time in four years. And I just wanted to, you know, thank God that I'm able to do that. And I want to, you know, reach out to all my fellow soldiers who listen to your great podcast and just say, you know, if you're able to go visit your family, I'm very happy for you.

58:28And if you're not able to, if you have to spend it somewhere where you don't really want to be, you know, I know how it feels. I know a lot of other soldiers know how it feels and, you know, it sucks, but we're here for you and stay strong. I know it sucks missing holidays, birthdays, you know, kids' birthdays and all of that. So, you know, thank you, Theo, for what you do. You've gotten me through a lot of these years that I've spent away from my family and, you know, prayers to you. And your team and prayers to all my fellow soldiers out there spending Christmas with their family or without them.

59:16Love you, brother. Amen. Amen, man. Yeah, that's the feeling. That's the feeling. That's the candle. That's the pilot light I needed right there. When I'm pulling up to my families or I'm going to walk into my home just to be grateful that I get to be there. for the positive or the negative, whatever it is, for the apple pie or the uncooked dang chowder or whatever somebody made one time, forgot to boil the dang things and everybody got dang dysentery, whatever, clams or whatever, whatever. Yeah, yeah, that's the thing. For the good, the bad, whatever it is, that there's people that don't get it.

1:00:06There's kids who are going to have to spend, have to do their holidays over Zoom with a loved one. There's a parent that has to do that as well. A soldier who's having to make that, who's made that choice in their life. And it's a choice they made, but still, it's one I'm not brave enough to make or haven't been. So yeah, so to take some time to acknowledge that, pray for those families and that peace.

1:00:36and yeah, just to know that you soldiers aren't alone that have to do, put that energy into the world. These people, they're not alone, and we pray for them and their kids grow up healthy and nurtured and taken care of, that we pray for the confidence of their spouses who are at home on the front lines with their children, holding things down, having to kind of be one parent, not one parent, but do most of the hands-on parenting. And we pray for those people and those soldiers that when they get to spend time with their comrades during the holidays away from their family, that they feel some sense of joy and peace and love.

1:01:21Yeah, so light a candle for those people this time of year.

1:01:26Yeah, maybe I need to, every time I'm lighting a candle, I'm thinking it's for my own light. Why don't I light one for somebody else, for a prayer and peace for somebody else's joy or possibility?

1:01:44For a moment that's not mine.

1:01:50Yeah, those are great things to pray for. Dude, I watch those soldier coming home videos all the time, and God. Oh God, I will just, I will just start bawling right into a dang bag of ruffles. And then they do the dog sometimes. And sometimes, looky, the dog does not know the person. I'm like, well, this shit, something's going on here.

1:02:22But yeah, and sometimes at the airport, you'll see somebody waiting for somebody like with flowers and a sign or something. this. Oh, or when the soldiers, one time I was in Chicago and I think it was, I don't remember the airline. Um, but a bunch of soldiers had just gotten back. They'd all just gotten back and they were like walking all back. I mean like a hundred and they were all, and it was just like this huge thing. It was like a special moment. Um, but thank you, brother. Thank you for helping us think about that. That's the, that's the feeling. That's the candle and you guys be good to yourselves.

1:02:58Let's go out with some music here. And the music we've played already is from One Man Quartet that played Christmas Miracle. And Ready for Christmas was by Zorro. And then this song we're going to play right here on our way out. We wish you a Merry Christmas by Timothy infinite
