1:02local time. We've also added an eighth show in Toronto on August 30th at the Elgin Theater. Tickets for that are available now. Get your tickets only at theovon.com slash T-O-U-R. Any other site is a secondary site. Man, craziest thing, you know, I was eating dinner, you know, because I eat at night. I'm not going to lie to anybody, I eat it. I eat it. You know, I eat in the evening. I eat at night. I eat dinner. You know, I'm a, it's just kind of one of the people I am. I'm somebody that eats dinner. And yeah, I guess there's a new, I don't know if this is everywhere, but this was, um, they're going, uh, blood donor.

1:54They're looking for blood. they came to the door the blood donor people come to the door and ask if anybody is willing to donate blood and I'm like you know I'm eating dinner that was the thing I'm having dinner I don't want to I guess I don't want to stop having dinner to give I mean I want to give blood I want to be supportive I just think it's weird if they're going door to door trying to get it. I understand you go door to door, you need a glass of milk, right? I understand you go door to door, you need CPR, you know? Hey, Ernie can't breathe. We can't, you know, we need help. But door to door for blood, that's a...

2:52I can even handle the insect guy. hey buddy we're here you know you know that guy always shows up he's like hey man we're just you know we're exterminating the neighbors want to extend the option to you you know we'll give you$40 off and then he's always like what's that behind you is that a wasp you know they always try to scare you them guys like oh damn he'll just do like that with his head and we're like whoa was that a what you know and they're doing fake wasps and some of these companies now these insect companies they'll have a guy sitting in the truck with a little drone a little drone wasp and he'll have that bitch going and they set you up and then he's like damn your house is infected you know you got bed bugs you got bench worms

3:50you got damn you could have you know There's probably bumblebees in your flout, you know, in your bread box. And you're like, what? But before you know it, it's$80, and you got some guy spraying gas all around, you know, doing that gas all around the house. You know, they come through, and they're just spraying. I mean, those insect people, they'll spray down. I saw a dude one time. He was on his phone, and he just had the gun, the spray gun, just going. and he left about probably seven or eight ounces of, you know, it's probably just repellent. He left seven or eight ounces in a children's playroom.

4:31I saw him just, he was only just sitting on the gas. He was on his phone ordering something, getting him a Jimmy John or getting him a fat sals, you know, or something. Or a vet, you know, getting him a little bit of Butch's pizza. He was ordering something on the phone. But, yeah, so those are people I can understand doing door to door. Those are people I can understand. But when they're door to door, like, hey, we're here with the blood, you know, sewing, you know, state blood bank or something, and we're here. We're just seeing if anybody in the home today is willing to give blood. And then the guy kind of looks in my house, like, like like he's gonna see somebody in a distance who just happened to be like oh you know I got a I got extra blood on me or whatever or yeah you know I wouldn't I was just gonna play some call of duty but I'll drop off a pint I'll give you half a pint I um I don't know if I can legally give blood or not they said I couldn't one time because I had done steroid use and they won't let you get blood.

5:55So it kind of hurt my feelings a little bit, but it shouldn't hurt my feeling. But when somebody's like, hey, we don't want your blood, that's a really, because you got a lot of blood. Somebody's like, damn, we don't want your blood. Yeah, door-to-door sales, and that would be, going door to door they don't have as much of it you know when I was young the egg man would come and he'd come and he'd bring you know he'd show you a thing of eggs you want some eggs you know and my mom would be like get off our porch you fucking pervert cause sometimes he'd be looking in the windows sometimes he'd just be looking he wouldn't even have any eggs he's like dude are you selling eggs or are you just a peeping Tom?

6:46You know, like, are you, you don't have any eggs. So what are you doing here? You know, it's 10 p.m. And what other people, they had door to door. Oh, the people would do the magazines and it was like a scam, you know. They'd come and they'd be like dancing on your porch like, hey, don't you want a copy of this magazine? you know and it would be a scam they'd have like a menu of magazines you know like Time Magazine you know Newsweek Cosmopolitan bitches getting rowdy you're like that's and that was a cookbook they also had like a little cookbook area

7:34but I remember and it was always a scam you'd pay the guy you would never see the magazines and then a year later they'd come back by and then a year later But yeah, some of the titles they had on there, it was just, they were like, are these really magazines, you know? Gays and guns, and it was like, is that a...

7:56That was a... I remember they had all types of stuff in there. Sports Illustrated. Different stuff. Grateful to be here with you guys today. I know it's been a while since we had a solo, and I'm sorry about that. But it won't be any longer. Let's get into it, baby. It's Bishop Gunn.

8:40I'm on. I'm on a stand.

9:10And I will find a song I will sing it just for you

9:20And there they are right there. That's Bishop Gunn with Shine. Gotta love them. So grateful for that song. That song has really given us an anthem and a piece of material over the years to have together. What's going on? Just staying alive, brother. That's it. It's been a bit. I'm trying to think of where to start. I feel a little bit nervous, actually. I think. I don't know if I just haven't done this in a while.

9:55I don't know. I feel a little nervous. I feel kind of nervous today.

10:02So that's okay. I'm just going to say that. And that's okay. Um, yeah, I want to just fill you in what's going on with, with, with, with me recently. Just tell you what I've been up to. And, uh, yeah, see, I feel like I'm just forgetting how to do this, but that's okay. I'm not, it's just like a new, it's just been a little bit, um, of doing a solo episode. Haven't done it in a while. And so I'm really grateful. I was really excited to be able to sit here and I want to get into some calls in a little bit.

10:37I just got back and went to UFC that was really cool but one thing I did really recently that was that was just divine and I mean you could just God it was just dang divine I mean you could feel the Lord just touching you while you were watching it and it was the rodeo I went to the rodeo recently I went to the Franklin Rodeo, and it was in Franklin, Tennessee. And, man, the rodeo, you think it's going to be a, you know, a lot of people spit and dip and even women doing it. You'll have a woman, she'll have a, you know, she'll have a hit of Copenhagen tucked up, you know, somebody, they're tough.

11:25They'll tuck a hit of Hagen right up in their labia. You know what I'm saying? They don't be like, man, where's she spitting from? You know, it's tough. So it can be a unique lot out there, but or a unique lot of people that go to watch rodeo. But it was unbelievably entertaining. I had just I'd forgotten how good it was. You know, I think I'd only been once and. And I had pink eyes, so I couldn't even see that good. I remember I think my mom took us once and yeah so I was I only had I was infected at the time so I couldn't see good but it was unbelievable I went to the Franklin Rodeo and at one point there's this event where they bring out all of these children out of the stands and they tie like ribbons to the the tail of, or they put like a ribbon onto the end of a sheep and they let the sheep run.

12:34And all these kids just chase these sheep trying to get the ribbon off of the tail. It's just, it was insane. And then you have also bull riding.

12:45And then you have, there's some calf like roping and stuff. Some of that's kind of intense. If you were kind of like very, you know, pretty sensitive it can be maybe a little bit intense but yeah i mean you'll see there'll be lasso and sometimes they'll you'll see milk fly to something you know you're like damn was that milk and your dad's like cover your eyes you're not supposed to be on this website um but they had a horse there's one point where they some this man had trained a horse and the horse stands up on his legs, brother. And I'd never seen this. And this horse, I don't know if he was like a business or like a business horse, or if he's one of the, you know, if he, I don't know how he got his skillset really, but he stood up on his legs, like in the middle of the arena.

13:38And then he walked out of the arena on his legs, a horse. And I'd never seen it, but it blew my mind anyway if you get a chance to go see a rodeo um i totally recommend it i just i'd forgotten how great it was how interesting it was um the different amounts of talent you get to cheer for people they got some hardcores out there too i mean they got some women out, they got some strong, you know, men and women, they got some people that are, they'll, they got some people that will fucking, they'll shake your fucking hand, you know, they will shake your hand, so they have some people like that out there, but yeah, it was amazing, I just want to recommend the rodeo if you haven't been going and doing things that are interesting or you're thinking, oh, there's nothing in my area.

14:42Or if you just haven't been to a rodeo in a long time, I want to recommend the rodeo. What else? We had the Roseanne, our Roseanne episode got taken down. Do a little bit of business with you guys here. Our Roseanne episode got taken down and we got strikes on YouTube. a strike on YouTube. And we couldn't post for a week. Those were the rules. And at first I was really shocked. You know, I believe that what Roseanne said was satire. Right? I believe that wholeheartedly. I believe that she is a comedian. I know she's a comedian. We're having a conversation she was being satirical. To me, very evident.

15:35now YouTube has their own policies they have hate speech policies and that's what we got our strike for was hate speech and I think I was I was kind of offended by that you know I thought I didn't think that that was I didn't think that it was fair and I think the toughest part was there's no communication you don't get to communicate with YouTube really about it right they kind of this ruling comes from like a place you can't or people you can't communicate with or access and then that's how they do it right and now I understand they have their policies and they have to do their best to uphold their policies right And I'm thankful to you too.

16:23I'm very grateful that it exists. Right? Because I have a place to speak from. You know, I have a platform from which to talk and a place to host a show. Like, I'm very grateful for that. Truly am. But yeah, I think the tough part was just that it felt like there was no communication about it. It was just like, this is what it is. and and I understand that's their policies but I think there was there should be I feel like you should have some conversation about it because they call for YouTube they call you like partners right you're like we're partners you know because I'm not an employee of YouTube but I'm a partner that's what they call it you know that you're a partner, YouTube partner.

17:20And so, yeah, I just felt like if I'm a partner, then let's at least have a discussion with me about what's going on. So you can hear what I'm thinking and what I'm feeling. So I think that was the toughest part. I just felt like it was kind of, I felt like there was no chance for me to speak. or share what I was thinking or feeling. And maybe that's just how it is. You know, that's business. So I don't know. I had some different feelings about it. You know, I also have to take into account that I want to be able to have a show. I want to be able to connect with people. And just times are different.

18:11You know, people could say, well, you can still have your voice even if you lose a channel or your... social media gets taken down, you still have your own voice, which is true. But times have changed, you know, it's like, um, it's not just a soapbox in your neighborhood anymore in your tribe. You know, your people are communicating with a lot more people at once and on bigger levels, um, or different levels. Um, but when you communicate something out in social media on YouTube, it's accessible to more people. So it's not like you're just standing on your soapbox, you know, in a town hall or something.

18:55So it's really like YouTube has kind of become like paper, like they're the paper. You know, all these social media platforms, they're the paper now. And it's almost sometimes it feels like, well, the paper gets to determine what's written on it. Whereas it used to feel more like hey you can write what you want on this paper and deal with people's and deal with consequences or interpretations of it but now sometimes it feels like well if you put something on this paper the paper is now determining what you're even allowed to it's like as if a piece of paper you're writing stuff on it and the paper was able to edit as you're writing so i don't know if that makes any sense but it's just you know it's just an interesting time now what was really crazy was that when the episode got taken down i believe that uh it should be able to live somewhere right i believe that it was a great episode i was really grateful to um be be able to talk with, you know, a real matriarch, matriarch.

20:08Yeah. A real matriarch of comedy. You know, she is, I mean, she, there's nobody like Roseanne, you know, and I know she's had a lot of like things that have come at her over the years. A lot of, um, you know, know she always makes controversy she always does sometimes it seems like it's too much for sure other times it seems like what you would expect out of a comedian out of a an instigator you know it's kind of what you would expect because that's what that's what challenges comedians in the first place like oh i can say this i can't say this how do i you know how do i mill around this area of taboo right whatever the taboo is um but then so then i put the episode on to twitter because they allow longer form episodes now uh or longer video on there and then elon musk the freaking alien liaison you know he he shared it and so that went i mean that was unbelievable that you know just the fact that he did it you know um now and whatever you think about elon you know or whatever you you know that's not it that that isn't that's not what i'm thinking about i'm just thinking how fat Here was like a man who's like an influential man.

21:52And he's sharing, you know, me, Roseanne and I having a conversation. So it was just pretty fascinating. The whole experience is kind of fascinating. You know, I think I was bummed out because I feel like I've done a lot of like neat work on YouTube and I try and show up every week for the channel. and um yeah so i think that's what that's what it was like if we're partners have a discussion at least someone speak to me um but that's uh that's their it's their it's their platform and those are that's how that's their rules and you know a lot of times we have to play within the rules. If I walk onto a basketball court, I know the rules.

22:47That's the rules. Today's episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. We're grateful for them. We're grateful for facilities that offer help to people.

26:02I had a good time. I got to go to Utah. And they have a water shortage over there. So if you got a bucket of water or something, man, two buckets of water, you'll get a date with the prom queen over there. You know, if you're appropriately aged. Two buckets of water, homie, they'll do. You know, if you're in southern Utah, there's a drought. If you start crying, somebody come up and hold a plant right under you. Like, hey, buddy, I know you're depressed, but I got this bougainvillea that needs some help. Yeah, there's a drought. and I thought it was interesting like in this town we did a show in Springdale, Utah and it was beautiful I'd never done this, it was like outdoors and there was you know, just nature, big chunks of

27:01what is it, like a big how do I big chunk of nature it's like where nature raises their hand kind of mountains they have huge mountains and what is that mountain range southern utah

27:25and that mountain range is the wasatch range i think and it goes over there to um mount zion park and it's just stunning but we had a show over there and my brother lives in that area and they only have so much water and so yeah i mean you gotta you know you gotta you gotta ask for help um if you need water you you they don't people don't have it you know people just don't i mean you said i would find myself licking my hands and then rubbing it in my eyes so I could still blink. Like you get dehydrated there pretty easily. So they have like water shares, it's called in the area, where if you move, you can't build a new home there unless you have water shares.

28:22And that's like your allotment of water. And my brother in the morning, they go and they turn, they go in different parts of their town and they have to turn these different valves and then they get their share of water. So it's pretty, like we went for a ride and we turned a valve and we went to another part and turned another one and then went to another place and turned another one. And at that time, you're like unleashing the water and then you get back home and the water is just coming down the street like in this little like cement ravine and you're getting like your allotment of water for the week or month.

29:06I thought that was pretty cool. I'd never seen it before. But the people are damn dehydrated there, you know? You gotta, you know, they're sharing water. Every ounce is accounted for in that area. You'll tell a neighbor, hey, can you flush your toilet?

29:23because we want to make some soup. You know, it's just they don't have a lot to go around.

29:36What else do I want to talk to you guys about? Oh, I went and did Kill Tony. That was amazing. If you haven't seen Kill Tony, it's unbelievable. I think it's unbelievable what they put together there it's it's like the realist I mean they have people that get up to get up and do one minute of comedy have your name pulled out of a hat it's so hard to do one minute is hard to do because it's like you can't really go into a story so you kind of have to just tell a couple jokes

30:20but it's just so much pressure and then it's crazy because the performer gets one minute and they know that's what they get but then Tony gets 2 ,000 minutes if he wants to rip them to shreds and they just have a beautiful band there somebody is blind so that's anytime you got a blind guy that's a fucking crystal ball right there that's the original crystal ball do you rub on a blind guy until he says something and if that you know I mean that's dark magic baby if you rub on a blind until they just whatever they say and then that's that's the original crystal ball right there but if you haven't seen Kill Tony it just blew my mind how great it was and what I just forget kind of and it's just if you never watch it you just have to watch it sometime um so what else did i want to say went to tampa had a couple good shows in tampa one night was a little tough i thought same for vegas one night was a little tough oh what's been going on dude i don't even know what we're talking about um you know i think i've been feeling all i feel i think what I'm realizing what I feel.

31:42I just feel a lot of pressure today. And I know there's no pressure by you guys. It's just pressure from my own self, I guess. I just feel as the podcast has gotten busier, I feel more, I guess I feel more like how do I do it? that I have to do it perfectly. You know, that's what I feel like.

Read the full transcript

32:20Yeah, I think I feel like since there's more people that have been tuning in that I have to do it perfectly.

32:31So, and that's okay. It's a normal probably thing that people feel that way.

32:39yeah sorry i'm just taking you guys through i guess some of my thoughts right now but i i you know i can't i i i i can't do it perfectly

32:50you know i can't do it perfectly so i can't i have to be careful not to leave myself in that space where i'm putting that much pressure on myself um yeah uh so i'm just gonna do it to you know to the best of my ability that's what i'm gonna do and i know it's easy for me to say that but yeah for some reason i just have a lot of that feeling like i just have i think that's that's some of the nervousness that that is have feel like this feeling of just that i have to do this perfectly and that's um i don't know what that is but it's uh it feels like a pressure and I know nobody's putting that pressure on me.

33:34It's just in my own head and some of that was probably natural, but I just wanted to speak that out loud so I'm just conscious of what I'm feeling instead of just feeling something and not trying to know what it is.

Oh, man. we were we just saw a cooter run by here you know well look what is that a cooter you know you could always pretend oh damn my cousin you just got attacked by a cooter um yeah just there's i think you know it's still enough of the masking where you don't have to you know say uh You know what I'm talking about. So, onward. Instead of the other word that starts with a P. Yeah, and I just said it too.

38:05I'm going to say it again real quick. I'm going to pretend like I'm not saying it. Okay, onward. And she thought that it was absolutely one of the funniest things she had ever heard. and then she asked what you would prefer to call the male equivalent and I realized I didn't know what you would prefer to call it. That deaf leopard, homie. That's what I call it. That deaf leopard, baby. That skeet pony. You know what I'm saying?

38:44That bust knuckle. I think those are good terms for it that sperm randle they'll call it sometimes daddy got that sperm randle on him what else people call it that batter twig somebody say let me break you off a little something let me break you off half a tablespoon out this batter twig so I think those are a couple I would say wiener as well you know

39:21I think people say wiener and I think wiener is good you can say it near children if you yell it at somebody too suck my wiener it almost seems like oh this guy kind of means it because everybody says SMD right but if you say suck my wiener I think people are more into it What else? I watched that Joey Chestnut, that guy, that Frank, that fucking, that dude is a damn Frank pony, huh? Gosh. And that dude just, he's that real boner homie. He'll throw them, he'll just guzzle them Franks. God, how many gay dudes watch the Nathan's hot dog eating contest? I mean, it must be, it must be like the, when people do those Game of Thrones viewing parties, there's no way that in gay culture, that isn't a huge thing.

40:27That should be on pay-per-view. at every gay club I feel like there's no it should be the biggest night at the gay club it's like the Super Bowl it feels like some dude right yammering down 67 francs bro that'll I mean that'll I think if you are gaying around I think that will excite you? I would think so.

41:06So, anyway, just thinking, I don't even know what I'm talking about. But yeah, that's what I think I would call it probably. And I think I would call it probably Wiener. That cooter bridge too. Because a lot of times if you're making love to somebody and you look down, your Wiener just looks like a bridge between you and Cooter. You know, if you even had like little characters, you could put them on it. A hunting wee will go. A hunting wee. Or, you know, I don't know what. You could do different music, I guess. But yeah, Joey Chestnut, damn, he rumbled down in Franks, boy. and then he's wet. He's just like, it's all in his shirt and chest.

50:34Good day. dude I'd snort everything in that damn country boy they call me baby Dyson I'd be at that fucking dude I'll do one 70th of an eight ball out of somebody's out of a big girl's belly button homie that's who I am I'm upstairs yeah that's the thing I couldn't have survived there so when I see a Colombian, you know, I was respectado. Respectado. Because I couldn't have done it, man. I would have got an eight ball for my 12th birthday. I wouldn't even have blown out the candles. I would have just done blow. I would not have blown out the candles. I would have just. They'd have light all the candles I'd be doing, you know.

51:24I'd be off doing, gramming out. I'm like, damn, the cake's burning.

51:30I'd be like my brain is burning I'm on coke so there's a lot of me that's you know that I would that so I commend them when I see them it's just like damn how'd you do it I mean I'd have been so coked up I'd have turned 13 in a week you give me 8 ball for my 12th birthday homie I'll be 13 in a week so I just know that I would not have been able to stay alive. You know, I grew up running a lot of sugar cane, and I did enough of that. So if I was by that snow cane, baby, I'd be a sharecropper, son. I'll fucking do some cocaine now. I will do it. so yeah i just couldn't have done it but i believe in colombians and i commend them and they should if they even make it to 18 i think they should be they should get a free house or free truck small truck but that's just what i think thank you for calling and asking me and caring about what i think is very sweet of you let's see what else we got here Hey Theo My name's Nick I was listening to your podcast with Adam Yeah thank you That was an episode with Adam Devine Who was just in Man I started the movie Outlaws And it's good It's funny I'm looking forward to watching the rest of it He is really funny Man I didn't I knew Adam was funny He's always been very entertaining I just I'm glad I'm getting to see him again.

53:19Yeah, he is just, he's really, he's extremely unique. Onward. And y 'all brought up the topic of Ma, and I have a similar story to that. This lady, you know, when we were 13, she used to buy a beer and shit. You know, she was, she was like 28, 30 years old. and we all thought it was cool but uh she also worked at a cafe in town and they sold really good chicken strips but uh oh yeah yeah man and meeting an older woman is very there's something very erotic about it when you're a child or when you're a teenager or something there's something if you haven't you know once you start getting sexual interest once you start looking through your wiener as that third eye you know, you start seeing the world differently.

54:12And you really do. So, yeah, I could imagine if there was a woman who you felt a connection to and that she also had chicken strips or another good appetizer, that that would be very temptational. Let's hear more. Anyway, she used to get us food and, you know, she'd take us to her house or something. and we'd bang her out or... Oh, okay. Whoa. Surprise right there. I didn't... You really... That took a turn in the thing. Onward? You know, getting nasty. Anyway, I lost my virginity to her for some free chicken strips in the cafe bathroom. And, uh... Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, buddy. Well, there's something beautiful about making love at work.

55:06there's something dangerous too about it risque, you know, especially if they had chicken strips, man. There's something very avant-garde about making love near a deep fryer, an active deep fryer, you know, because, you know, if you're doing sex, things can get, you know, there can be level changes, there's, you know, So if you're near an active deep fryer, that bitch, you have one paw that slips off into that thing.

55:46You're playing catch with a dang apple fritter after that. You're going to be living with a damn bear claw on you. So I think there's different ways to do it. then you know you're going to be doing the pledge of allegiance with the damn funnel cake over your for a for a for a hand so that's a thing you could end up real damaged now i'd say this if you fried your hand this would be the craziest thing i bet if you flash fried your hand you're doing you're in the kitchen your hand slips in there how hard would it not be the first thing to just bite into it. Thank you for the call, brother. Appreciate you.

56:27And I hope we could offer you a little bit of thought there. But, dude, I got to see Mel Gibson at the UFC, man. I was so excited. I feel bad sometimes sharing about stuff like that because I feel like it makes me seem like I'm a fancy guy.

56:52Or like that I'm name dropping. But it was just fun. Like it just. Yeah, dude, I can't believe that I got to go again. And yeah, it was just. I mean, it was wild, dude. Mark McGuire was there.

57:14And I love him.

57:19No, Mark Wahlberg. Sorry. Uh, yeah. And then Mel Gibson, dude, Mel Gibson. From the Patriot, brother, aim small, miss small. God, he was there. And I want to see that new documentary that came out that everybody's been talking about. So we'll see if I can get to view that. Let's take a couple more calls. Thank you guys as always 985-664-9503 I'm going to try to do another solo episode soon When I'm feeling a little bit more settled I feel very Like I don't know Frenetic today Or frenetic So I'm not trying to complain I'm just trying to share with how I'm feeling And sometimes it's like I can't even I don't know I'm having trouble even knowing how I'm feeling today This just feels Well fuck It's fucking Monday So what are you going to do even?

58:19um hey Theo I had a question for you I didn't know what you would do me and my wife tried out a threesome with another girl and turns out she likes girls now and then we tried a threesome with another dude and it turns out I kind of like dudes so we're thinking about going our separate ways what would you do well y 'all gay bro you know and that's that's great man you know that you're gay that's because the craziest thing is when people don't know when people don't know they're gay they they find themselves doing stuff and wondering why they're doing it they'll go lay on top of a man or something for a few minutes and like what the fuck are they and they but they don't know it you know sometimes people don't know they're gay and so at least you guys have figured out i believe there's a lot of um kind of uh i don't know if i want to say incoherent gays out there but people that are gay that do not know they are gay they're almost like ghost like ghost gays or whatever but I think more incoherent gays because they are gay but they do not know it

59:56you know you have a man you put him in a wiener shed or whatever he'll sit in there for four fucking hours but then he'll come out talking about his wife but he ain't thinking hey why i've been in there for four hours and that wiener said boy that's gay and boy so congratulations uh gations congratulations brother i'm happy for you guys um what else my buddy ernest fell off the stage i don't know if you saw this it's a great tiktok uh it was morgan wallen nelly ernest there was a show and Ernest tried to throw this rose. They have a beautiful song called Flower Shops. And he tried to throw a rose, I guess as far as anybody's ever thrown a rose before.

1:00:51And he just, you know, hey, he put it all into it. He used to pitch at Lipscomb. He used to pitch at Lipscomb. And this one was a little outside.

1:01:06what else do we got? Let's take one or two more calls from you guys, man. You can always hit the hotline, 985-664-9503. Let me know what's going on with you. Some exciting guests that we have coming up. A lot of excitement in the air. Hello, folks. Larry in upstate New York. What's up, Larry? I'm just listening to the most recent broadcast, Tom Segura. Tom Segura and Siovan. And you guys are talking about Guinness Book Records and did Tom ever want to have like a thing where he could do the set of records. And it's funny you're talking about this because I happen to have thought about that. And my thing I would like to do is the longest pee, the longest urine taken, steadily, straight, constant stream, longest time.

1:02:09They may already have somebody in there. Well, yeah, look, I think that's a beautiful suggestion. Doing the longest pee is beautiful. For Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer, what would be a good Guinness record for them? maybe longest sandwich you know seeing both of them start at the opposite end of a different sandwich and eat their way as far as they could and try to meet in the middle or just eat a long sandwich together sorry the first way sounds a little bit yeah but just eat the world's longest sandwich the longest two men have ever stood bare chested pressing their chest against each other I could see them doing that what else could I see Tom and Bert doing for a Guinness record maybe the longest sentence you know Bert can get into some long sentences so maybe if he started a sentence and just tried to go as far as anybody's ever gone but also making sure that the sentence makes sense so that would be really really interesting what else that's a good one that's a good one I'd love to throw that out to you guys what would be some really neat Guinness records to try and set some rare ones I think the longest maybe if you filled if you fill your mouth with lump crab meat and ran like ran like did you know whoever could run the farthest with a mouth full of LCM maybe lump crab meat I think that would be quite a work of art.

1:03:54Yeah, but those are some nice thoughts, man. Good to think out loud and be having my brain work. That makes me feel good when my brain is active. Make me feel warm. Let's take this call right here. Here we go. What's up, Dio? This is Zach, bro. Right here, I work right now, brother. I'm a sewer man. That's what I do with Dio. I clean the sewers, baby. Oh, yeah, brother. You were a ninja turtle, baby. You down there in them pipes, homie. So thank you very much for the call. Let's hear more. Get in there. Get in there and clean up, baby. But yeah, bro, I'm just... Tomorrow's the anniversary of my father.

1:04:40He recently passed away about two years ago. And I accomplished a lot, you know, in the time that he's gone. and it's been a little rough because, you know, he hasn't really – I didn't really get a chance to show him everything, you know, that I've been able to accomplish, you know. But just felt a little down about Theo. And, you know, I know you've been through similar struggles with – I didn't really know my father. I knew him well, but not well enough, you know. So I just wanted to know if you have any advice about that, Theo. Just feeling a little down about my pops, that's all. But I appreciate you, man.

1:05:24Gang, baby, thank you for the call. Yeah, man, he's so proud of you.

1:05:37Man, he's so proud of you.

1:05:44And I'm sorry that he's not here with you anymore.

1:05:51you know there's I think about this a lot I think about that your heartbeat like if you want to feel your father you can put your hand on your heartbeat

1:06:08because he made that beat he and your mother they remixed a human that's how it works they cut a track and that was you but your heartbeat it's their heartbeats

1:06:28so that's the drum of your father

1:06:37he's in you I can put my hand on my heart and I can feel a beat that my father started, that his father started. It's such... That's why when I think we have those feelings of pride, of feeling like, you know, that our parents are proud of us, or that feeling of pride goes so... You can feel how deep it is. I mean, it'll bring tears to your eyes sometimes. You know, as a young man, And if you, you know, sometimes, especially you ask yourself, like, is my father proud of me? Man, that is the, there's nothing sharper than that edge in a man.

1:07:30Even the craziest thing is, even if you didn't even know your father.

1:07:37You know, I can relate. i didn't have enough moments with my father that would help us know each other well enough as humans and as men i had some experiences but i didn't have as many conversations and like um intimate connections you know or sentimental connections because he was passing away as i was just coming into my teenagers years and stuff so i can just relate I can just relate in that sense.

1:08:08And it's crazy that you just want your dad to be proud of you. There's nothing else a guy wants. It's like, yeah, I know my father some, but not a lot. But all I just, that question will hit me sometimes, man, I just hope he was proud of me.

1:08:30so I just want to tell you that your dad's real proud of you bro and

1:08:37yeah and he put that beat in you man that's his heartbeat so if you want to feel your dad you want to feel his that's his sound that sound started with him I mean you're just a sample track homie we all are but I know he's proud of you man

1:09:01and I'm sorry that he's gone but he's living he's through you when you smile he smiles that's his smile when you see something beautiful he sees something beautiful

1:09:17and when you do good and probably even when you don't man And he's proud of you.

1:09:30So just keep your head up on me and know that you're not alone, you know. And other ways you can get, you can live vicariously. And we like, you know, when you interact with a mentor, a male mentor of yours, and you let them know, hey, I really appreciate this. I appreciate your outlooks and your thoughts, you know, if you do. that's a way to get a little bit of fatherhood from someone else. It's interesting. It's like, you know, maybe if you see a young man, he's trying to do something for his father, but he can't do it or he can't afford it or he can't help. If you step in there and help, that's you doing something for a father.

1:10:13And it may not be your father, but you are doing something for that position of a father. You are being of assistance to a father. and I notice that sometimes it helps me some you know it helps me uh you know my father was real old so if I do something nice for an old man an older man it it's um or if I do something nice for a friend's father it's it's in a way it's me doing something nice for my own father you know I'm just it's like a um I want to say example but there's a better term for it um so you can have your relationship vicariously. You can have those needs fulfilled somewhat, a little bit, vicariously through other people's relationships and father-son relationships, I find anyway.

1:11:06I have moments where I'll tell some of my friends' fathers who've had importance in my life, I'll say to them, hey, I want to thank you. Some of what I needed I was missing, but you showed up there and that's not a knock to my father because my father I'm really saying it's kind of like I'm using someone else as a as like a template or as a mannequin for my own father

1:11:37so but yeah isn't it so deep how it's so it's like all a young man wants is for his father to be proud of him you know, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable what a want that is.

1:12:03Maybe if we taught more in schools from that perspective, instead of from a knowledge perspective, what if we taught more from like an emotional need perspective?

1:12:17Like, what if that, you know, how many of your, like, what if a class for young men was how many of you want your fathers to be proud of you, you know?

1:12:28And then you taught from there. These are ways in the world where you can create, where you can fulfill that need.

1:12:42Anyway, thank you for calling, brother. And I love you, man. And I appreciate you. And I'm proud of you too, dude. I really am. I really am, man.

1:12:56Yeah, what else? We got some great new tour dates that we mentioned in the beginning. A lot of new cities. So if you get a chance, looking forward to seeing you guys there. I'm trying to think of anything else that's been going on. I don't know. I'm just trying my best today. It's one of those days. you know i i prepared some today to be prepared and it's just um you know you do the best you can and so that's what we're doing um i want to thank so many people for being a part of my journey and being a part of this uh podcast um yeah man i'm trying just i'm just i'm having a tough time today a little bit it's okay i'm fine it's just one of you know it is what it is um i love you guys um we'll go in the way that we came out uh i hope to do another solo episode soon um i'll do a better job of uh not making it so long between them and um yeah i appreciate you and thank you guys met so many nice people that have come out over the to the over the past few months to the shows um it's just it's hard to process at all at sometimes and feel like you're showing enough gratitude at the same time so um that's some of the journey that i'm in right now and um yeah that's what's going on over here um i'll see you guys in edmonton this week and then up through the northeast we have shows next week and um yeah just thank you thank you guys for supporting me uh sometimes when you agree with me or sometimes when you don't um you know that's something i'm learning to do better in my life is uh be there for people whether sometimes i agree with some of their things or don't you know um so i'm just grateful And I hope that I can be as supportive to you in my life as you are to me.

1:15:05And you guys be good to yourselves, baby. You deserve it. Gang, baby.

1:15:15And my mind is somewhere else, but when I find it, I'll patch up where it's been. Oh.

1:15:26I'm just floating on the breeze.

1:15:34Cornerstone.

1:15:41I can feel it in my bones. But it's gonna take A little time For me to set that parking brake And let myself unwind Shine that light on me Come on, baby I'll sit and tell you my stories Shine on me And I will find a song I will sing it just for me I'm upstairs And now I've been moving way too fast On a runaway train with a heavy load of my hand
