12:30I got to see Ed Sheeran's. Here's what happened. So I had some shows in Las Vegas, and thank you for coming out. Somebody urinated on someone at one of the shows. They said it was an accident. It couldn't have been. But that's okay, baby. God does stuff like that, and we move forward. But it was really, really exciting. I've been doing some bigger shows just because even at this rate, I'm going to be on tour for the next year or so. So I know there's some places where tickets have sold out. Don't go pay extra for fancy tickets. We'll come back and you get it at a fair rate. So don't do that. Don't feel bad.

13:13But yeah, so anyway, I got to go hang out. I got to go see the Chainsmoker, right? I've seen them before in passing, but I've never gotten to go see their band. so I go right I'm having a nice time it's Halloween night and I'm pretty beat it's been a long couple years or whatever so I'm just enjoying it it's a great show and Ed Sheeran comes out and Ed Sheeran's baby you know if you've never seen Ed Sheeran's baby you know he's just I mean he's from he's from another country and when he comes out, man, he means it. He's almost like, it almost seems like he's like Santa, like he could be related to Santa.

14:05Because he came on stage and it was a the vibe was great, right? But he comes on and he was having so much fun that it just changed the whole energy. It just like took the whole energy of the place into like another level of joy. and it was just nice to see and the things that he was he he it was halloween and he just he was dressed like a part of like a muffler it's like a catalytic converter something was like a helmet i don't remember what it was crazy looking like a car part or something um like a like a hero at uh at auto zone right um and he roll he comes out on stage on in that right and just you know half of a uh air filter cover with eye holes and he's just having a blast man he was having so much fun and uh and it took it just made everybody have such a good time and so then like you would think oh if it's a dj set because chain smokers are djs right they play dj music so they played like ed sheeran's like most upbeat song i don't know i don't have it here in front of me but and if you're on the youtube you can hear you can see i'm putting video in here because that's what i'm doing today with this and um but then they as soon as the song went in he thought he was just going to do like one song with the chain smoker guys then he they would start one of his next songs all right so so it kept getting like more ballady you know because he sings like a lot of ballads and just, you know, he's, you know, he's got that emo head, baby.

15:51He's that, you know, he's that, you know, he's that emo ganger, baby. That's who he is. And, and he's a masterful at it. And, and so he kept getting more ballady. And so at first you were like, no way everybody's going to go along with this because it was kind of this up, it was like this, you know, it was more hype in there. And then everybody just goes more and more balladies It's like we're almost just at an Ed Sheeran show. And I think by the end, he's singing perfect, and everybody's singing along. People are crying. Somebody's admitting to somebody else that they're their real parent or something right next to me.

16:29I'm like, what? What the fuck, homie? Get a gin and tonic and chill, dude. You're about to pay some back child support, buddy. That's insane, brother. but it was just it was just interesting to see if somebody shows up with a good energy or if somebody really shows up with a good energy that it can change the vibe of a space so that was just a neat it was just a neat reminder to see that live and in person so I want to let you know also this holiday season we're going to do something called relative rodeo where if you if you can get you know So here's how you do it. What you want to get is somebody hugging somebody in the family they don't usually hug.

17:17So you know, be like, hey, Jonathan, go hug Vanessa. And one of you just secretly kind of films it. And it's relative rodeo. How long can you hold, you know? Now, don't get obscene. Don't, you know, nobody needs to ejac or nothing. This is calm. This is calm behavior. These are good people. But, yeah, that's what it is. We're just going to see, want to promote some love out there. Because sometimes, you know, Uncle Henry's over there and he don't like anybody fucking getting close to him. Or he will fucking chew his own shirt off. You know, because he's got, you know, he's got fucking shingles in his fucking brain.

18:01So, that's when you tell, you know, get a family member, say, hey, won't you go hug him? let's see how long you can stay on and just send me those videos and that's for during Thanksgiving time you know no need to do it now but I'm just letting you know and that'll be relative rodeo and we'll make a montage and put it up there I want to thank you guys for checking out the Tucker Carlson episode I thought it was interesting you know it's just nice to get to spend time with somebody and chat with him yeah Yeah, people ask, do I have big plans a lot of times with podcasts? Sometimes I have some things I would like to talk about, and sometimes I get scared to talk about them.

18:46I'm trying to be more brave. Sometimes I feel like I don't know enough. It's like, damn, I don't know enough about this to really comment on it and things like that. But I was just grateful for his time, man. I'm grateful for everybody's time. I can't believe that we get to sit and chat with some, you know, different types of folks. And, you know, the world really is becoming a lot smaller in a lot of ways. So let me see what else I got here. Maybe I am someone new. I am of the way and the way and the way. Yeah, can you? I got to shave my neck up. We got to. You know what I'm saying? All dreams spin out from the same web.

19:36Yeah. Of course they do. Do you take PayPal? Yeah. May the stars carry your sadness away. Yeah, I love that. I also... Yeah, I need you to get a little bit more right above my ears. 17. If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian, he can live in peace. Treat all men alike. Give them all same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same great spirit chief. They all are brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. Wow. That's really profound, man.

20:29That's really profound. I just saw this on this website.

20:37I'm trying to think of what's been going on with me, man. I'm off of masturbation. So that has been nice. Actually, I have done it. I have done it.

20:51But I'm not. I'm off of pornography. I'm off of pornography. I've seen some light pornography. or semi-accidental, I would say, in the past 50 days.

21:09Two JPEGs. Two JPEGs in the last 50 days. And I like that. My brain is starting, my imagination is starting to come back a little. In the middle of the day, I'll just imagine a damn ass cheek, bro. I'll just imagine an ass cheat and I don't find myself thinking as much perved out. My brain isn't as perved out. It's like,

21:43it's nice. Yeah, my brain deserves that. You know, I shouldn't be showing my brain all that booty and all of that ass and everything. So that feels pretty good. What else is going on? The holidays are coming up. I am excited. Oh, I got to take my niece to her first concert, dude. That was so fun. That was so fun, man. We went to see Lainey Wilson and Hardy. And she'd been going through some things. And she was my first niece that ever existed. You know, and I remember when she was born, I was just... man, she really started to kind of change our family some because it was the first thing that we all had that we could all care about for our own reasons, you know, but that we all cared about it.

22:40We all cared about it. And our family needed that. We'd never had anything like that, really. and uh so she's always had a real special place in my heart you know and and she's cool she's she plays soccer and she's like she's amazing right and so she's funny she's creative she's got a huge she's gonna she has she adds she's chat you know she's chatty she's always commuting you know she got something to say or share she's energetic um so yeah but it was cool man we got to go see Laney who and then Laney let her come back and meet her so dude I was I was it was just fun so that was really exceptional and um and we got to watch Hardy you know Hardy who's been on the podcast too and it was just it was uh you know because people will always be like when's your first concert and uh and she can say that and so that was you know that was neat um if you're Look, one of the best gifts ever this holiday season.

31:27Hmm. What else? We got a call that came in right here. Let's hear it. Theo, to Peyton from down in New Orleans. And I'm wondering. What's up, Peyton? Right there. And thank you for calling, brother. And tell Eli and Arch I said what's up. And Cooper. Nah. No, but I hear he's a nice guy. Onward. Why don't we see more black ghosts? Where are all the black ghosts? I feel like they're underrepresented in the ghost community. Oh, dang, bruh. Where the black ghosts at, man? They might be running late, bruh. They could be just... You know, I don't know if what that... I don't know what the afterlife is like.

32:20And maybe black people been through a lot. They might be like, we ain't fucking, we done. You know, we take, you know, we ain't, we done. We, you know, we ain't doing, we ain't showing up and you don't even get paid. Ghosts don't even get paid. So, that's, We ain't doing that shit. I know that. But, yeah, they probably could just be running late, baby. You know that. Come on. What else? We got another call that came in. And then I'll look at a little bit of news, too.

32:58Hey, Theo. It's Jake from Indiana. Jake, what's up, brother?

33:06Let's hear more. I got an issue that's been on me for a while. How do you deal with being a sibling of a younger sibling of someone who's very successful and you just don't feel like you have the right tools to do what they did? And being a young man in a factory and that's all you got to your name, sometimes it feels like you're not doing enough yourself at least that's where I'm at anyway thanks for the call brother yeah you know I felt this a lot with my brother you know I felt there are times I feel less educated than him you know less capable

34:02you know sorry I'm not trying to make this about me but I'm just sharing. I can relate to a little bit of that. But I think that you have to look at your family as a group in a way. You have to look at your blood as the, that's the sort of the marker for you, you know? You're all part of your, you know, it takes everybody to get somebody out of the mud sometimes. It takes everybody. You know, sometimes you might have an older sibling that took a couple L's so you didn't have to. You know, you might have somebody that's dealt with addiction or dealt with, you know, took like abuse from a parent or something so then you, the next kid didn't, you know, it's like, it's all.

34:50So one person's success is really, it's a familial, it's a familial effort, I think. So I think if there's a way to take pride in it as a family. Like, wow, look what our family has accomplished here. You know, we have a family member that's a great singer or a family member that's a great artist or a family member that is a teacher, a doctor, a nurse that started their own mechanic shop or that is a great father. that's a huge that's another part we don't look at sometimes about success yeah so if somebody says hey show me your success what would you show them a picture of your family would you show them a degree you've gotten would you show them an award that you want would you play for them something that you made or would you show them a house that you had built or painted I think there's a lot of things like that unfortunately I think we have a society sometimes that doesn't measure a lot of successes like that but that's just our society's choice at this time I don't think that that's a realistic uh I think that is a error you know errorful way that we have gone off on um but uh what else yeah man but yeah I think in trying to have trying to maybe sometimes I've fantasized like I have a sister that's a nurse sometimes I'll put my like wonder what she's doing or um think about if she's giving somebody an iv or if she's sitting there joking laughing with her co-workers or something or you know and i'll almost pretend like i'll pretend like i'm there being her for a second or you know my brother uh is a he's a tree guy you know he did trees for a long time and and now he uh is doing some more entrepreneurial like trying to learn some arts and stuff like that and um music theory and different things that he really enjoys uh and now he's doing different stuff and um but i was always so envious that he had like a business you know we had like a you know we had a handful of employees but he you know and he but he woke up and he had a business and i always i don't know there would be sometimes i would like just fantasize that I was sitting in the work truck with him or um I don't know but yeah it's hard it's hard not to be envious um and I think some of that can come at times that's normal it's just like recognizing it and and also I think if it's a family member that's had some success they'll recognize the the parts that you've had in the making of their success You know?

37:43Yeah, hang in there, baby. You got this, man. What else do we got? Somebody right here. Praise God. What's up, Theo? My name's Clay. What's up, Clay, baby? Hell yeah, boy. And Clay, son, that's a very Native American thing. Clay. You know, you ever meet somebody named Clay and then you just fucking try to shape them into something different? Like, hey, I'm Clay. You're like, you're a bull now.

38:18Let's hear more. Right now, machete in a tree. And yesterday I was going to the gym. And I got scammed. This dude pulled up on me trying to sell some speakers. The old trick. But, yeah, they got me good. Got me for$1 ,000. Hard-earned money right there. But love the podcast. Love the show. Keep on going. Yeah. Praise, baby. I'm sorry that happened to you. Thank you for getting it out of your system here. People get scammed all the time. 70 out of 100 people have been scammed. Finesced, they call it. People get taken advantage of. But that's the fucking bro. Now you got to keep that machete on you, dog.

39:09keep that machete on you but yeah you buy a couple speakers next thing you know you open the box and instead of some Rockford fire skates you just got a couple of just rocks in there you got damn just two fucking you got two two 14 inch pieces of shale in there you're like damn brother so it's unfortunate man we got involved in a damn pyramid scheme we got somebody was doing glitter mining by us a man came through over and by the damn Gibson's parking lot and they got about 12 of us and we lost all that shit man they never paid up ended some marriages and everything one of the marriages was illegal anyway so they shouldn't even have been fucking honestly so that was a blessing you never know where the blessings are gonna come in baby oh god what else hey theo this is nick calling from brooksville florida what's up big nick and nick rhymes with um dick d-i-c-k dick they can say it let's hear more nick i was just wondering thought you thought I was going to say dick, didn't you?

40:38Let's hear more, buddy. I wanted some advice from you. So I just graduated high school. I became a welder. So now I'm doing that. Hey, man, baby, way to get a trade right out the gate. Get a trade. Hell yeah, dude. But I'm working night shift right now. So I really don't get to see a lot of friends, family, anything like that. So I was thinking that maybe when I turn 19, I might join the law enforcement academy and try to go down that route. Just wanted to see what your opinions were on that and what you think I should do. Yeah, brother. I love it. I think we need more good officers out there and people.

41:16You sound like you can, you know, are able to verbally communicate clearly. And yeah, in America, that's enough to give you a weapon and get you out there. So I think you should do it, man. And you could weld too, brother. That'd be sick. just weld a fucking inmate to the back of a car or something, weld that bitch in if somebody's real bad if somebody's a killer or a murderer you just weld them bitches just bead right along that door line and just weld them bitches in the back and then put a couple damn bees in there a couple of God's fucking air ninjas in that bitch and let them loose God, I want you to be a cop so yeah, I'm all for it, brother I like your attitude you're already creating possibilities for yourself You're creating experiences.

42:03It's so crazy how the second you decide to do something, you go take the first step. The other steps are a billion times easier. It's unbelievable.

42:20I'm proud of you, man. Nothing changes if nothing changes, baby. You want to do something different? You got to do something different. Praise God, Daddy. Thank you, man, for calling. It made me feel excited for some reason. I think sometimes I live vicariously through other people's jobs, you know? Kind of like I was saying about my family or people that are, you know, somebody calls in or a bus driver or a farmer doing deliveries, you know? There's things I used to love. Like, I used to love to get to paint. I worked on my buddy's farm and I would do painting over there and I would get stung by bees and bitten by animals and I loved it out there and they gave me a gun too and I fucking shot I shot a hole in this in a water reservoir and and I lost my job but anyway Sorry.

43:22What was I talking about? But yeah, some of them I like to fantasize. What else we got going on? What's going on in the news right here? Native American. It's Native American Heritage Month. I want to say thank you, man. I want to say thank you.

43:42You know, I'm core. I think I'm eighth something. Eighth Pontiac or something. Yeah, my father had some type of Indian in him. and it was some South American Indian. But some of that blood flowed through him, you know, and, oh, I think we've taken such a detour from being so disconnected from our earth and planet, and I think it's one of the reasons why we have so much sickness in the world today and mental, emotional sickness, because we're just supposed to be part of nature and we are on some other shit. We're on some other shit. I want to ask you something. Is porn causing a problem in your life?

44:31It's a good question. Do you find yourself watching porn too much? Is it affecting your relationship? Is it affecting your dating life? Well, you're certainly not alone if that's happening for you. You know, porn or porno, as some people have called it, is so commonplace today. People use it and men use it to numb the pain of loneliness, boredom, anxiety, depression. Shame and stigma prevent men from talking about these issues and getting help for them. But I want to introduce you to my friend Steve Walt, who is the founder of Valor Recovery, a program to help men overcome porn abuse and sexual compulsivity.

48:23My God. Tammy Maness. Tammy Maness, nice to see you today. Thank you so much for having me. yeah congratulations on you got that scalp lava baby you got all of it i've got it all fluffy today god and what are you taking it for a walk is that a kind of a sun the way you set it up for a sunday or is there how does it go throughout the week the the hair care how is it it it it does not fall it freely during the week but uh i had my friend with me this weekend i have a family get together and so we can coordinate with doing this and getting it rebraided i have to keep it braided because otherwise, uh, by the end of the day, my tail is dragging.

49:04All of my tails are dragging because it's actually longer than I am. Oh, wow. So you've really outdone yourself. Literally. It's one of those things. It's like, really? You tried to do that? No, just life happened. I haven't had it. Yeah. Did you get forgetful? Were you in a coma or something? How'd you get it that long? How long is it? It is 68 inches long when it's fully stretched out. I'm only 64 inches tall. Okay. So there you go. You've out. Yeah. Wow. That's so long. And do you get scared? Like you, cause you, it must be a little risk in there. Like if you, you know, a mistake near a box fan or something like that, and your, your afternoon could change.

49:45How are you being a neck brace? I know where my tail is. I'm pretty tail aware now. Okay. So, and like I said, it stays in a braid. So, and where I work, I usually wear a back brace because I'm old and it tames the tail. Okay. And when I sit down, it's funny. My nurse manager, she actually says, I laugh every time you sit down to draw blood because I automatically just throw it over my left leg. Oh yeah. It's like, I know where it is. That's beautiful. Yeah. There's something lovely about that. You know, does it almost, does it almost feel like a pet? Does it almost feel like a friend or something?

50:21Oh no, not a bit. it's just, it's something I've had for 33 and a half years now. So yes, it is a part of me. Yeah. Oh yeah. I can imagine. Well, you know, I have a, a, a, just a starter kit going on the, on the back of my head, but I, um, dude, you got a mullet. You're good. Well, we'll see. You know, I, it feels like me once my hair got longer, it just felt like me. It was like, oh, this is where I'm always supposed to be. This is the way I'm, my head is supposed to have been. Do you feel most comfortable with your hair like that? Like, would you feel very out of sorts, you think, if you had to take it off?

50:59I saw something once and somebody just come up and cut somebody's hair and it made me nauseous. I actually had a tail prior to this one back in 80, 89, and I cut it and it was only, you know, probably about five or six inches, which I still have. Oh, yeah. And I immediately felt this angst. I was like, okay, that ain't going to happen. So February 9th, 1990, I started growing this one. So yes, it has a birthday. Yeah. So how old is it? It is 33 and a half. It'll be 34 years, February the 9th. Praise God, baby. And if we plucked a strand of it or a cord of it and we tested it, what would it test positive for?

51:41Because you got a low. Well, I always told everybody I couldn't do drugs in my life because you can literally do a drug test on hair and I would have been in so much trouble, but I've been a good girl. I don't do that stuff. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Damn boy. Cause yeah, I think, yeah, there's just so much of it. You'd really be able to just kind of, you could probably find the exact Friday night that you smoked a joint if somebody wanted to get real particular on there. What does your mother think of it? What does she think of your long hair and your world record now? Cause you're in the record books aren't you yes i i actually have my beautiful Guinness World Record book here yeah that's so cool and i yeah i said i've um show me your page let me see what page you're on wow shorty that's awesome but back to my mom i said uh somebody made a negative comment once and they said oh they must be so proud and i said well actually my mom's probably up in heaven than looking down laughing her butt off now.

52:40Yeah. My mom passed away a few years ago. But yeah, I think she would think it was hilarious. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, she's probably getting a good laugh out of it. Oh, yeah. She'd probably be like, well, it's just your hair. I'm like, yes, mother. Now, people, what are some of the nicknames? You got like maybe, I was trying to think of something, maybe Billy Ray Punzel maybe, or I'm trying to think of. I like that one, really very fun though. I think I probably started mine for who it is. No, it's just the tale. Everybody knows me for my hair. I mean, people can't remember my name, but they go, I want the one with the long hair.

53:13And it was so funny because when I was on deployment with the state guard during COVID, I was in uniform all the time. So after I got off COVID and I got hired at the health department, I didn't have to have my hair tucked anymore because I didn't in uniform. And the people were just like, you've always had that? I said, yeah, I just knew how to hide it. Wow. So, yeah, you never know what people are hiding these days, boys. You never know. Oh, yeah. I work in public health. Tell me about it. God damn. Yeah, dude. You never know. Somebody will show you a mole that they can piss out of. You know, you just know.

53:50It's just a weird world out there. I tell people I could strangle you and they'd be looking for a rope. Okay. Yeah. Now we're talking, huh? You ever done any light crime with it, Tammy? Oh, no. I mean, it's like, you know, with all the people out in the world, you know, the hair and everything nah and i don't need that career yeah um what about any long-term plans with it if you've considered maybe doing uh locks for love or or locks for lust even hell i'd buy a damn half a foot make a damn orgy towel out of it or something i mean i bet you gotta realize you got the thread that's what i was saying somebody said you know about only fans you know feed hair i said No, no, no.

54:29I like to keep a decent image. Now, I've had people say, so are you going to cut it now? And I told the news person, I said, let me think about that. No, I'm very blessed because not everybody's hair will grow long. That's a great point. That's a great point. So you're almost doing it for the people that can't do it even. There's a little bit of that in there. Sure, sure. We'll go with that. And now when you say if you go to heaven one day, right? right and you uh what was where you what does the hair go with it is it i hope somebody's up there that can braid it for me oh yeah because i can't do it by myself i have to have somebody do it for me now that's kind of interesting you have to have a partner really to get to keep that hair well yep and she's been in some of the videos that guinness put out because they did a whole photo shoot which was really cool yeah and they've done different videos and I found a lot of them online.

55:25I mean, because this story got out, which was amazing. And I mean, some of the people's got the video. So my brother, who is more technological than I am, he actually filmed a whole thing where she took it down and he did it in fast motion. And then we did a whole time of braiding it because it takes her about an hour and 15 minutes to braid it by the time she. Yeah. By the time she braids it and rewraps it, because I put a little crochet floss at the top, keep from getting so fuzzy, put the beads on the end. oh damn i think you're getting it ready for church huh and what kind of salve you put in you put any salve or something in it what do you guys do over there you know i joked with somebody because i asked uh are you getting any hair care product from us i said no but i'm a ready-made commercial for main and tail hair and conditioner come on yeah yeah oh i bet half the preakness gets fucking pissed if you walk by they get real them ponies will show out i'm sure yeah it's actually a pretty good product but i've used several things through the years but i like stuff with argon i have shampoo condition and then um a leave-in conditioner right before she braids it oh that's beautiful god that's so and it gets it gets rebraided about once a week my it sounds it sounds damn majestic really it sounds royal it really does i don't know if you i mean she said it comes all the way up oh yeah god oh yeah i'm like if i get if i can get you it's kind of hard to show the whole thing just with the color of it's length oh my god yeah it kind of fluffy you tell the irish in me there with the reddish oh y 'all oh sure yeah um i feel like that's impressive i'm like okay thank you now you ever caught a lover on it you ever put a little chicken liver on the end of it or a butterscotch or something and just kind of you you got a little toe line for you there i know no but i i'm always careful from around cats because they think it's a building cat toy right there oh they do they don't have a heart do they it's something i've dealt with so i know how to deal with it but yeah it's um it's a it's a conversation piece yeah well it sure is well it brought us here to talk to you today tammy and i just want to say thanks yeah a for just doing something unique you know it's fun to do something unique in your life and and people don't realize there's all types of ways to find some way to be creative or to be expressive and uh i think that's just such a nice reminder um and i'm just who i am that's what i tell everybody i said i just try to be nice do my job well and and one i had one negative comment well when i had several when all this came out and people were making some negative comments and i'm like they're talking about the state of the world i said yes i'm in health care I understand how the world is.

58:07If this gives somebody something to smile at, laugh about, make fun of, something different. Oh, yeah. If it takes your mind off of stuff going bad, that's fine with me. I'm good with it. Oh, you could stand by any river in Louisiana and you could charge a nickel every time somebody want to rope swing off into that thing, honey. I'll say that. I wish I could make a nickel off every time somebody might comment about it. I really do. No, that's fair. That's fair. Hey, look, that hair tariff, baby. That's it. Look, that counts. Is there a meetup? Is there a meetup for the Guinness World Record holders?

58:41Do you guys do an event? Do you get to meet the guy with the longest tooth or the sharpest elbow or the guy who's been underwater for a month or whatever? Is there any sort of… Not that I know of. I know there's mullet meetups. People have different meetups for that. That's for drugs. So let's just call that. That is. Yes. I might have to turn that job down as a judge next year I was asked about. Well, look, I'll just say the ones at the rest area are. I'll tell you that. That's for sure. Yeah. God bless those people. Yeah. We just wanted to say, hey, Tammy, you know, we know there's been a lot of hype and hoopla.

59:20And and I've gotten I've gotten tagged in so many pictures wanting us to say hey to you and and get to spend a little bit of time. So just want to say congratulations. Yeah. Congratulations. And thank you so much for for chatting with us today. We appreciate you. I know my brother's thrilled because when I first got the invitation, we couldn't hook up. And my brother was checking on my social media. I actually gave him the passwords and he goes, oh, my God, I'm missing the invitation from Phil Vaughn. I'm like, I don't have time to check all this stuff. So I was looking you up and I'm like, oh, crap, all those people.

59:51I'm going to be the most boring interview he's ever done. And he wants to talk to me. OK. No, you're great. You're you're doing something unique. You know, I could, you know, I don't have anything, you know, I'm not going to say I never been the owner of anything long, but, you know, I never really, you know, God gave me what he gave me, you know, and that's fine with us. Somebody said, you know, other people have long hair. I said, I know people who can sing, but they're not on the voice. It's just how lucky you get with what you got. Yeah. I'm thankful and I'm happy. Amen. I like your attitude.

1:00:29Happy holidays to you, Tammy, and thank you for your time tonight. You as well. Keep your mullet going. Keep it trimmed. You're good. Yeah, I'll see y 'all. Maybe I might see you in the mullet streets next year. All right. Hey, take care. Thank you so much. You too, darling. Bye-bye. Bye. Thank you, Tammy. Not often you get to talk to just a real vine of society right there. Just one of, God, just one of Mother Nature's damn, just a fern of beauty. Oh, that's beautiful, that tail, boy. You hang that thing out of a window at night, boy. Seven raccoons will hump it, baby. God, praise God. Thank you, Tammy.

1:01:10All right, this is a call that came in. Thank you for hitting the hotline. As always, the hotline is 95-664-9503. Let's hear this. Hey, Theo. My name is Alex. I'm from Denmark. Denmark, baby. Denmark did it. Yeah, Ricky done it, Denmark did it. Onward, brother. I want to start off by saying thank you for being you. I've been through a year of depression and watching your videos and your insights. Everything from your humor to how you tackle the deeper questions in life, it's truly inspirational and it's been a big light in my existence at least. than I am sure for many others. Well, thanks, man.

1:02:00That's a nice thing for you to say, man. Yeah, I'm just trying to do my best, man. Just trying to stay alive, baby. But yeah, that's a nice thing for you to say. Onward, brother. During this time. I have two questions for you. Number one, I have Asperger's, so I'm all autism out, baby, as you would say. Damn, baby, you got the Eurotism, baby. Gang! Bro. We never fucking had that shit on it, bro. We never had the exchange rate on that freaking tism, bro. That tism or whatever they call it over there, you know. Tism. Tism. We never had that exchange rate on that. The tism. The tism. The t-t-t-t-t-t-t-sum.

1:02:44Tism. We never had that shit, baby. We never had it. So, God, good to see you, baby. Fucking Deutschmark, baby. With that tism. Fuck yeah, dude. I knew that shit would make it overseas, baby. You're all gonna fucking get it. Praise God, boy. We're all gonna be playing fucking Zelda somewhere in hell, baby. Let's hear it. Onward. Sorry, man. Sorry. Onward. Tism out, baby, as you would say, which I love, by the way. How would you go about a first date? Like, how would you ensure that date doesn't tism out fully? my second question to you is well first of all this is how you do a first date man you don't do no you don't try to do no sex you don't try to do no titty you don't try to do no booty hole or nothing you do regular you do communication you do constant

1:03:41positive energy you know you do learning get some coffee and maybe have a Oh, shit, it's up already. Snack. Have a snack. You got to do something easy. Drop somebody off. Get them an Uber. Don't try to make all the magic happen. Because there's no magic left in the sack, homie. There's no magic left in the sack, baby. You got to leave some magic in the sack. So that's what I would do. And if you have autism or whatever you got, baby, Asburgers, fucking Einsburgers, whatever you got, dog. Fucking one of the Wahlburgers, one of them's got the shit, Ronnie or whatever. Tell them straight up. Hey, baby, you know, I'm that fucking spectrum donkey, homie.

1:04:38Tell her straight up. Tell her, show her where you're at on the spectrum. Bring a ruler. You know, so that'll help. baby you're gonna be fine baby i'll tell a lot of chicks will they'll love a dude who's got a fucking problem as long as it's an energetic one as long as if you do yard work and you fucking get out there and you build a damn uh a travoli fountain or whatever out of the leaves or some kind of shit she's gonna love you dude if you build a uh arch of triumph out of the damn um you know out of some shit you're supposed to pull out of the garage you're gonna love you brother and that's God working with you onward I've noticed in your latest few videos you're wearing these really cool black aviator style sunglasses I was curious could you share the brand and model of those because I would love to get them for myself carry a bit of Theo swag on my day hell yeah baby and these are these autism fucking blonders baby these are these autism blinders, dog.

1:05:42They see me tizzin'. They hatin'. Bruh. Knock, knock. Who's there? Autism. Brr, brr, brr. Where the hoes at? Not here. I don't know what these are, man. I don't know even where I got them. I've been trying to find a sunglass company that will partner something with us and help us get some awareness out there or get some sunglass out there. Maybe we would do a good tism shade. Maybe that would be nice. Because really autism is just kind of like God puts a filter on you or a shade in a way. And it's like a unique shade that we don't know that much about. And so I think that would be pretty cool.

1:06:27So one of our goals next year is to get into doing some supportive stuff. So it's just been hard. You know, I got to get some more help. um you know this year we've really spent a lot of our spare time just uh trying to build the podcast honestly and I haven't done as many solo episodes um some of that's been because it's been stress it's been it just the my stress gets built up and it's hard for me to um breathe

1:07:08yeah I want to be in a calm enough place when I have these when I do these so I can try to communicate earnestly from somewhere in my brain or in my feelings or whatever and it just

1:07:24yeah so I just

1:12:26Yeah, I've been up there. And there was a John Travolta touched. Well, my buddy's daddy said John Travolta touched his leg once up there on a ferry. Said he had beautiful legs for a 75-year-old. Onward. Maine. I know you mentioned before you really like Maine. And I saw you up here in Portland about a year ago when you came out with your special. So we just had our first mass shooting in Maine, and it was actually right down the road from me at a bowling alley in a bar that I've gone to before, and I've gone to the bowling alley quite a bit.

1:13:07I've always read about this stuff happening in other places, and it just kind of hits it home. I mean, literally right down the road. I know a 14-year-old boy was killed, and it was like a youth night at the bowling alley. And I think our whole community up here is really taken back by it. And I didn't have any family involved. I just knew of a few people who passed away. And obviously, it's a small community and knew who they were. I just don't think anyone around here really knows how to move forward past this. I mean, with time, I guess, but I just don't, I don't know how people do it being in a bigger city and this kind of stuff happening all the time.

1:13:56I mean, it's not normal. It's not normal. Yeah, it's not normal, man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that's been happening in your community, man. Yeah, it happened in Nashville. every year there's a there's a place that gets it new Val day oh yeah I don't know what to say you know and maybe you're not even looking for me to say anything maybe just looking for somebody just to sit here with you for a minute

1:14:35yeah man I can do that I can just sit here with you for a minute

1:14:44if you need to feel something or whatever you're not going to sit here with you and care about you for a minute or try to you know sometimes when i try to care about people i just

1:15:02i just try to like close my eyes and just think about how wonderful they are That's I think how I do it Let me think how I do it

1:15:15Yeah and I think I just wish I could do anything To make them feel better You know

1:15:32But yeah just know that people are thinking of you man And, you know, my...

1:15:42When you said it's not normal, it's so true. It's not normal.

1:15:50I don't know. You know, it's a good question. Is it? It's not normal. We shouldn't do this to each other. Other countries don't do this. You know, I think... I think every society is really an experiment. You know, we've learned a little bit from previous societies that stays around, but societies get manipulated and compromised by different forces and dark forces. And then the experiment changes. But yeah, it'd be nice if we could go back to a time where we were just more connected to the nature, you know? when you saw a deer it would just like it wouldn't run maybe

1:16:39you know I don't know that could be fucking delusional too but also back then a fucking raccoon you might be looking at a deer and then two raccoons jump out the tree and fuck you up you know that's the weird thing it's like is it normal does nature always just devolve into something anarchal I don't know. I don't know. But I think it's... It's not comfortable. And yeah, I'm sorry that that happened in your community. I'm sorry that every year there's new communities where it happens.

1:17:19But sometimes I start to believe that we're going to get to fit. We're going to figure this out. We're going to get out of this. We're going to get out of this pain. we're going to climb out, you know? The river can see the moon. In the distance of the seventh moon, the oyster listens to his family. Like, look, dude, I got to get, look, I just need one of these saverns a little, you know, hey, can you just fade this up a little? The tree learns his ways from the wind. Yeah, I understand that. Can you, I just, I got to get this, can you this I gotta get this fade a little tighter man you know do not change horses in the middle of the river yeah look man I totally agree I got four minutes I gotta be up that on ramp so can I got yeah you just tight just decide even it up a little bit please alright guys I gotta get I gotta go I've been on here for a long time.

1:18:27But yeah. I just got to remember to breathe, man.

1:18:41They must want us to breathe. God must want us to breathe because he gave us two places to breathe out of. You know?

1:18:55you could do it frontwards, backwards, you could do the, um, frontwards, that's the only way you can do it, breathing,

1:19:07but, uh, yeah, uh, but, anyway, um, sorry, I think my brain's just getting tired, um, I want to thank you guys for your, continued support, and, what else, it's nice, man, it's a nice time of year, It's a great time of year to keep our eyes open and keep our hearts open. Do our best. Back off that wiener, baby. And let the Lord touch you. That's what I'm saying. De-hand that wiener and let the Lord touch you. That's what I'm saying, baby. So I'm feeling that. I'm feeling, just feeling excited about that. getting in touch with just better intentions and spirits this holiday season. What else? I feel like there's something I'm supposed to tell you, but I can't remember what it was.

1:20:03God bless everybody in Israel and Palestine. They got to figure some freedom out over there, man. You know, usually when you hear free a place, free Tibet, free Cuba, there needs to be some freeing. Otherwise, you don't hear it. You know what I'm saying? You don't hear the thing. You don't hear free America. You don't hear free Israel. You don't hear free Russia. You don't hear free Michigan. You don't hear it. So usually it's a good sign that they got to figure something out.

1:20:42But I'm praying for my friends in pain. I'm praying for those people in pain.

1:20:57it's just it's a lot being alive sometimes is a lot uh anyway sorry i didn't mean to just get enough sad space there but um we got to go out and do our best baby and i love you guys and um What can we roll out on? This one will get us there. How about enjoy this one right here. You guys be good to yourselves, baby. You deserve it. Whenever you're down, out in the cold, faithless and dark, your story's untold. Come take my hand and walk there with me I know a place where we can be free There is a light shining for you Guiding your way, helping you through Shadows and gloom are all that you see We'll find a place where we can be free
