all right check baby i'm trying to get wet man that's one thing i'm trying to get wet i noticed i'm trying in the summer i'm trying to get wet and that was always a key deal for me as a child you know we had a fella that lived down the street from us a little fella named boogie you know and uh he was mixed man a little black white i mean his daddy was white and his they pretended his mom was his mom was well his daddy knocked up the woman that swept out the school bus his daddy was our bus driver big milford and he didn't you know he didn't know a lot of the letters for the alphabet and you'd sometimes be surprised you'd show him on a thing you know q r st and he he just couldn't say he don't he would kind of shut down he couldn't handle it you know he'd never been uh you know he'd never been educationally succumbed to the truth and anyway but he drove the school bus and he eventually got laid off for uh driving shirtless and driving uh under the influence of alcohol and running the button and hitting um stuff with the bus trees and other stuff that you just can't do if you have children on board you know and uh anyway but so what happened he uh he knocked up a lady that swept out the school bus and um this was a black woman he knocked her up and so they had a child but they pretended that the child was with him and his regular white wife so it was just you know it was just a real ferris wheel of of sex and secrets and and school bussery type shit you know praise god baby let's get into it this is matthew cosiol runs in the family it's out of my hands and in my blood it's red and a legend and i can't pay up this by the way you're watching the mud can't save my soul so it's probably fun i was the part that i'm cut from it's just a matter of time there ain't no stopping the seven sun there you go right there that's matthew cosiol runs in the family and we out here baby i'm out here like a damn uh like a dolphin in a damn uh at a gay spa baby we out here you know and i want to say shout out to everybody that's gay and that's being you know or you know considering being gay man you guys are doing great and um you know and i will comment as well one time and i made sure that's one of the more one of the more kind of uh homoerotic type of atmospheres i've ever seen i saw a you know a group of gay men throwing a frisbee together in a um hot tub and they were so close together they couldn't even you couldn't i mean it wasn't one of the guys two of the guys was too close together to even throw they had he basically had like put his arm straight and then hand it to the other hand it to the guy basically so it was like and i i don't know i don't know honestly what that was about what i'm really saying there but i just and i love hampton inn man god love hampton inn man i just you know i love the they redid them about i want to say 12 years ago and they put these kind of black and white pictures on the inside of the elevator doors that are kind of welcoming there's like a child on a swing or something and you know there's a little baby eating a damn egg or something and it just makes you feel good and you know hampton inn they got a they have a concierge breakfast downstairs and concierge breakfast is basically i think it was i don't know when it started but the whole thing started with uh during war times they would somebody had to get up and make the breakfast of the colonel and they would make it quick it would be just kind of you know so he could dine and then dash and hit the field and that was concierge breakfast but uh i don't know what war it could have been a lot of wars i'm sure it wasn't one war and i don't know why hampton inn took on a damn war feed you know why they adapted some of their feeding styles from war seems really kind of next level to me but you know god does what he does and um what else man uh i don't even know what i'm talking about exactly uh had some family coming down this weekend we had a nice time i went skeet shooting you know i'm out here in the central east and there's not you know there's a lot of people shoot stuff around here and it's not usually other people you know in big city people like to shoot kind of other people in in more rural areas they like to shoot stuff and so out here we went to some skeet shooting and uh and it was fun man i'd never done it you know they loaded up a shotgun i'm out there um we went out to kid rock's house actually he got i mean he lives in a beautiful trailer really though it's a trailer like you know like you see the style they got you know it's nice though they have nice they have two couches in it um but off the back they have this little man-made kind of lake and he had a skeet fire right off the back and so we're out there man and uh and people showed me how to shoot skeet and next thing you know i'm out there just elmer flooding on them mitches and i'm upstairs if you want to know where i'm at on the winner's bracket i'm upstairs okay i'm upstairs but that was enjoyable else um i got some dang azaleas uh and that's it's interesting as a man something's going on with you as a man when you buy a few azaleas i'm noticing you know and i don't know what's happening it's you know i just i got just i bought 14 of them and you know they just there's space i have a yard and so i have to there's got to be something in it you can't just have a damn stale yard and there's nothing out there and i thought about getting two goats but they don't uh some of the websites i'm reading about goats says they're really loud so i don't know if i want to deal with the noise complaints and having cops come back there and then they see you know it's me and i'm just living by myself and i have 14 azaleas and two goats i mean damn you know i don't know if that's kind of the kind of stuff that i want uh but yeah that was good man so that's you know that's what happened this week i'm trying to think of what else is going on not much man i'm just growing up you know i've been realizing that i'm growing up and honestly sometimes man i'm growing a little bit lonesome you know i grow a little bit lonesome it's like i'm i'm at home sometimes there's nobody there you know i'm not complaining i'm not oh what was me you know like i'm just thinking about it you know and it's titty time of year you know that this is when the calendar breaks out them boingos baby them front bags you know what i'm saying them freaking stern and werthers baby you know what i'm saying them big caramels them nippled huskies you feel me tit time maybe this is tit time because it's summer so this is when it's a good time to get out there and meet somebody so we'll see um because yeah i start thinking about that next chapter of my life and what it would be like you know and get me a little offspring and get me a damn you know get a little bird or something or get a damn you know get me a couple living items so when i come home something yells or barks or shits or something you know i start thinking about it because one thing i realize is the pattern that i'm in it just gets it just gets old after a while it's not bad but it just kind of you start looking you know you wonder what else is there something else and it's not to be found i don't think in like worldly things like in a vacation or a you know buy some speakers for the car you know get you a couple 22s or something you know it's not um it's not the kind of thing that's you can solve by getting 14 azaleas you know and i think it's figuring out how to be in a relationship and get into some real love where i can you know get a little baby out of somebody out of some woman's body and be like that because it also starts getting weird when like all your friends have children that are they're getting like older and you're it's like it gets a little like who's that you know you just don't at a certain point you there's nobody left there's the you know there's not as many people to even call or do as much with in some ways because everybody's moved on or adapted into different realms of life so you know i think i've been thinking about that some and then i start thinking what it's going to take for me to get to a place like that to get to be able to be you know in a serious relationship where i'm going to stay in it and be honest and you know not be you know running around or trying to play close frisbee with some woman some strange woman at a hampton inn you know what i'm saying because close frisbee is obviously a gateway drug i feel like possibly homosexuality praise god man shout out everybody i think gay pride is coming up actually i saw a woman yesterday she had a haircut and she said uh something about gay pride she said so yeah july looks like well i don't know uh march i don't know but that's something that's going on something else that's going on i'm drinking liquid death and you know it's a great it's a good drink people think it's a beer you see a child drinking outside of a damn 7-eleven you see the cops pull up and tase him you know and then they go over and it's just water you know tough kid thank god i want to tell you this i got tour dates and uh i'm getting excited i'm working on some new materials so this is gonna be this is gonna be a joy man it's gonna be starting in st louis friday september 17th uh that show sold

netflix and after i'd done the comedy special my first shows were in chattanooga and uh so i'm excited you know i'm thinking this is it we did it you know i'm on netflix and we did it and uh and we made it and i get to the car i get to the venue and i want to say i got in a night before i don't remember but i get over to the venue that day and uh i did i got in the night for radio in the morning and i got over the venue and and there was probably seven people there and i was like damn it just you know the comedy special just didn't move the needle they didn't put it in a circulation on the site and you know there was some uh doctors people that came out that kind of stuff but online but it just didn't do it and so man that was a tough weekend because and also the stage was really high from the audience so the audience it was like 10 feet down off the stage and it was almost i thought they were trapped like i was telling jokes to people that were waiting for fire and rescue it was like you know and then you know and uh and uh i'm upstairs and i literally was upstairs i mean i was like way high up compared to these people at one point i wanted to throw a rope down i just felt very obtuse you know what was going on there and um so anyway so i'm excited about all those days theovon.com slash tour you can get tickets because now we're playing at a theater and i think we already sold it out maybe almost in chattanooga and so i mean it's just a blessing you know it's a thousand or something people i don't know what it is but it's um man and that's the power of this podcast man and i want to thank you guys so much you know uh you know just for making me the opportunity and i promise i'm gonna bring the best stuff that i can to you and we're gonna enjoy it you know what i'm saying like four fellas in a damn hampton it's like four frisbee fellas in a hampton inn spa baby four frisbee fellas in a hampton inn hot tub let's go and one of the guys said he's like you guys go on that side like there's no sides bro there's no sides in a hampton inn hot tub cat daddy praise god man you know and um and we've all i'm trying to think of everybody i wonder when the first time you ever ran you know met someone who was gay or if you realized maybe if you could have been that person you know when i was young there was a lot of rumored gay men they didn't have gay women when i was young i don't think but they had gay men and uh there was one fellow and he had i don't know if he'd been hit by a butt i don't know what happened to him something happened to him he was born without a heart or something i don't know i don't know what happened to him he had autism or something and uh and his mom he was probably 40 when i met him and he he would ride one of those bicycles that had the child seat on the back that baby seat that little scoop and score baby that little you know look like part of a bucket on the back and that's where the baby would sit and that man would drive around town that bike all the time and somebody said that the baby seat was a he had a husband they used to sit back there like a little husband because it was a woman's bike it was remember mom's used to have this bike where now the kid's in like this little thing and it's got like these roll bars and like you know now the kid whatever you know the kid don't have a chance of getting hurt but when i was young you had you sat in the back behind mom you know just you were in the bite the baby said the bite of this you were you know you were downstairs you know i'm saying you were downstairs you were behind mom just bouncing back there birds shitting on you you know didn't even matter you could be back there smoking mom had no idea she could it was impossible for mom to even see you so you were just back there you know and so he was on the front of the woman's bike in the back was a baby seat and it had um and people said that the man had a little husband that had left him and so as a child that was just you know the rumor in our town that this dude or this gentleman really or you know this guy he uh he had a little husband that left him and it broke his heart or something so but really later on i realized the man was mentally ill and that he just he'd been born i want to say he was born that way also he couldn't hit by a vehicle but it was either nature or nurture you know and god bless him but the rumor was that the man was a gay man when i was young and so it's just interesting how you first hear about uh gay men or see a first gay man or get an idea about it you know it's really fascinating how that comes into people's lives uh that aren't gamins well even if you are gamins you still have a certain moment where it's like oh this is you know this is something that's going on so but anyway what else do we have man um you know i want to thank you guys yeah i want to thank you guys for this tour some places already selling i'm excited about it i'm gonna grasp on my name so we got a couple of names that came in and i want to listen to a few more that came in from from somebody and thank you uh in advance here we go hey what's up yo or i mean probably nick listening to this but um i know i've known several times i live in houston from uh from baton rouge but i just wanted to say i think it'd be a really cool name for your special to call it uh let's be honest because i know you drop that a lot on your pod and usually make some pretty awesome points uh after you say that well thanks chris man i appreciate that's a nice one man let's be honest man because you try to be you know you try to be honest the battle to be honest it's easy but man it's there's some tempting little tributaries starting off the river of truth isn't there man there's some lascivious licorice liquid alleyways just leaking off that river truth man uh let's be honest i like that one man i really like that one um and let's take one more that came in one more suggestion what up yo i just listened to the most recent episode i heard some of the suggestions for your tour name i'm thinking bro why not get that hitter tour you know get that hitter get that sitter come on out come to the show oh gang get that hitter get that sitter now that's a real little vibe right there that's a real tempting deal what you're saying bud that's called a tempting deal when somebody says something and you feel tempted by it that's a tempting deal and if you and i were not to throw your frisbee on that one both you guys i thought about the be good tour yourself but that's kind of too much of a play on words i've been thinking about i've also been waiting for when i'm on stage for something to strike me but i like let's be honest i like get that hitter um and i appreciate it man appreciate you guys caring enough to even submit a man i appreciate that you know a lot of beautiful stuff came in uh for this episode we'll get into some of it um and i'm gonna play this a video question that came in first from someone uh here we go derek from bata garner washington uh what's up derek from bata garner uh i never been up there washington is interesting because you're over by the coast you get seattle you get tacoma and then after that it's anybody's ball game you know it's basically like i mean it's a lot of people making homemade furniture out of hemp and uh and watching animals mate if you go east of there and and both of those are you know legitimate practices so praise brother i love your podcast love what you're doing over there and uh a quick question for you uh some of my family members have been doing this thing where they uh take saunas together it's usually all grown men they all have wives they do they take them nude nude saunas and uh you know i'm not really into that kind of stuff i just want to get your thoughts on it you'd ever do it or ever heard of it or thought of doing it you know yeah anyways gang gang brother and um you know i'm sorry your family's going through that and you're having a you know call for you know help about that and thank you um you know going to saunas and doing steams it's just so ironic just call him because what i was talking about earlier that hampton inn and that's one time some ways uh gay men are less inhibited they're almost really the native americans of our time in some ways and no offense if anybody's native americans you guys are the original native americans but then it goes really almost to aggressive gay men because with sunburn because you they will do a lot of male stuff that's kind of bonding and a long time ago if you look on a lot of hieroglyphs you know or you know if you look in you know history books a lot of native americans would do saunas they would do steam huts and get in there and smoke each they would just be as high as fucking as many rocks as you can get in there and people just damn just feeling that warm geology just cook them to the bone shout out bryce mitchell and you just and they would do that together and they would encourage each other you know ronnie or kunta or dang you know uh wiffle ball or you know sitting river the different you know i'm pulling from all different walks of life here but they're everybody would encourage each other to stay in there and bear the heat and bear the the pain and then they would leave you know but they have gone through something together and there's there's some real strong value in that there's some metamorphosis in a way that that i don't know if we get anymore we our souls these days sometimes i feel like our soul is just out of the ocean it's just got stuck on the beach especially here in america you know and i'm obviously you know i'm i'm talking as a white or semi-white from a first world country but and i don't you know and maybe some of this is just more later in my life as i'm you know i've come into more opportunity and a little more wealth later recently and uh but yeah i don't know there's something there's about being in the ocean about being in the storm just being weathered and going through things you know um and then because it does something your soul you know i really feel like it does you know time when you take your soul and add time and you add you know you just add a you know you need a weather report you can't just have it just be the beach you know we're not challenging our we don't have that internal challenge you know we don't have that that struggle that's that's on us you know we don't have that turmoil that makes us into treasure or shows us what we're not there's less revealed to our spirit when we're in comfort and uh but yeah i mean it's a little weird if your family's getting together in an empty above-ground pool and just having sandwiches and shit you know and drinking cold water i mean that shit that's probably some of that stuff honestly there could be a drug-induced and you know i grew up around a lot of that over there and over mcgee street over in covington louisiana they had about seven houses down from us they had a uh above-ground pool and men would meet up in over there at night or in the daytime when it was cool out and put some chairs in it and stuff and they would do drugs and drink cold water and shit like that and it was almost you know i'm not gonna say that they got into homosexuality but they considered it i'm sure they probably got into it so it's you know it's just that kind of you know it's it's hit or miss out there with some of these songs but but there's a lot of gay men or they know they are they spend a lot of male bonding time doing stuff like saunas ice baths and things like that where you are where it used to be a lot more tribal where you would show your body you know and one time you know a buddy of mine and he was a you know a nice cool guy and urban gentleman and he you know he had that hawk on him maybe he had that body lumber baby that wiener and uh he walked in front of a group of our friends naked to go into the showers and i was still like over by like kind of the locker area and stuff like that and so i i was like dang well i gotta i can't walk in like all clothed and then take my clothes off in the shower i'm gonna be such a wimp so i'm like i gotta get naked here and then walk in front of all the guys and get over there you know and just be cool about it be casual but my penis was definitely doing that punks of tiny phil you know this thing had seen a shadow this thing i don't know what it was doing it was almost like it you know it's almost like i didn't even have a penis and so i'm literally trying to get my penis at least enough so when i walk by the guy don't look and see i don't have any penis that's not you know you can't do that around your buddies at like an incremental age this was this was socially incremental and uh you can't do that you know i needed to stay on the staircase moving upward socially you know i needed to get upstairs and um and so i did i literally was just i remember i had a wallet i was kind of trying to whip my wiener against the side of my wall i was doing anything to get my body to really enjoy some blood flow and finally man i got i don't know i probably got down nine pimples of blood in my wiener i just said this is the best i'm gonna do and so i just scooted in front of people and i move pretty fast and i even think i walk sideways so they'll just see my my very air baby that french ass um but thank you derrick for for sharing that and you know i think there's two ways to look at it one is that it could be you know leading it could be a slippery slope for drug use or it could be you know you guys getting real primal you know next thing you guys are doing is burning each other with coals and doing tattoos on each other and out there wim hoffing up near each other's ass cheeks baby praise god brother and i love you all right man i want to tell you about this and you know it

the next year Is going to be You know I feel like A lot of the fabric Of our society really Kind of has been really Denigrated over time Over the pandemic You know it used to be That you know you had the week And it meant something In the month In the holidays And you know But now it's I feel like You know it's all Time doesn't mean as much It's just it's all confusing Still there's all There's still all this It feels like a Rubik's Cube Out there You know you also Talked about it before But there are a lot of like You know you had a lot of Political and social Commentary and disruption And unrest and Adjustment And you had a lot of history That some people said Shouldn't be history And that you know That kind of stuff affects Places and people And communities And if something you once Pride or thought was a part Of your youth Or your childhood Or memories And now when people say It doesn't mean anything Or it's Or that's not realistic Or that doesn't fit With what I think Or they think Or you think Or whatever you know Whoever thinks Then it adjusts I don't know It just adjusts Some of the tapestry So I'm intrigued man I'm intrigued And I'm hopeful though That's all we can be Is hopeful man And that's where I'm going to stay And that is the fight That I'm in I noticed for myself Is to stay hopeful You know because I get angry Pretty easy So just trying to Say some of that

Go to manscaped.com slash T-H-E-O. Here we go. Hey, Theo. My name's Brandon.
I'm out here in Oregon. That fa-fa-west coast, you feel me? Oh, yeah. Oregon, man.
And Oregon is a good place for, they got a lot of tree sap up there and a lot of people playing by the rules and not playing by the rules. Let's hear more. I was just listening to you talk about the struggles of ego and the sort of battles we have within ourselves. I was curious, how do you find yourself sort of getting, I mean, do you ever find yourself getting sort of lost in the character of Theo?
We all kind of walk around in these masks we call identity and it's really easy to confuse that with our true selves. So I guess I was just kind of wondering, how do you yourself get back to that baseline of who you really are before ego and self-identity? I hope that makes sense. Much love, gang, brother.
Gang, Brandon. Thank you, man. That's a good question. You know, how do we get through?
Yeah, how do we get, you know, I think we all, I notice that who I am evolves. That's one thing I notice. And sometimes, man, sometimes I feel like I was happier in a previous skin. You know, even just in the past years of my life, I felt a lot more connected to myself a few years ago.
You know, and I don't know what happened. I mean, you know, things that happened in my life where, you know, my life got a little busier with work. I made a little bit more money. What else?
I started to get more things, you know. And so I think maybe stuff like that, like just more access, maybe expectations. You know, and that's been tricky. It's been tough to monitor my ego.
You know, I never used to really think I had an ego. And then over the past years, I definitely feel more like I do. And it's a, ego is just, I hate it, man. You know, I hate feeling like I'm better than somebody or because all it does is separate me.
And now in some instances, you need your ego because it keeps you safe. It keeps you, you know, if you can't swim, your ego might just say, man, we can't swim. You know, and that could keep you living. But I feel like, and the craziest thing is once you, right when you start to kind of live within a certain comfortability of yourself, it kind of changes.
And that's the weirdest thing about life. You know, I find that once I'm, right when I'm getting a little close to myself, I run off. You know, from myself. I mean, I'm the one looking for myself and I'm the one hiding.
And right when I kind of get a hold of myself and right when I'm just close enough to myself to just hand myself that Frisbee and that Hamptonian spa tub, I go underwater. Or I disappear, you know, or I evolve. It's just, I don't know, more and more I realize that this, whatever the body is and all of this is just some shell that we're living in. You know, this is just some carrier for the spirit that's inside of us, which is this thing that's actually doing some evolving.
I don't know, that doesn't answer a lot of questions, but anyway, I get caught up in being the character of myself. I used to feel like myself. And now I think the thing that's made me feel less like myself is work. You know, it's kind of weird when your dreams become your business.
Because I don't like business. You know, I don't like it. It's sneaky and it's, I feel like it's selfish. Now that doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing business.
You know, I don't know if I'm strong enough to separate myself from the systems that we have that, you know, that run this kind of like the world that we're in and stuff. I don't know if I'm strong enough to separate myself from them. But I used to feel a lot more like myself a few years ago. And I'm hoping that more of me comes back around.
You know, I felt more angry. I felt more agitated. Which is interesting because, you know, you would think it would be the other way around. But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if I ever knew what was going to make me happy. And I just kind of expected that if I got, you know, somewhat popular or achieved some success, that's actually a better word is success. Or what I deem to success. We all can create our own successes.
I never really chose mine. I kind of just let the world say, oh, these things make you successful. You know, obtaining things or getting wealthier or getting popularity. I never really kind of wrote down what some of my own successes were.
My goals and stuff. So I was just kind of achieving the status quo. And so I'm not shocked sometimes that I'm left with the status quo reality that those things don't really make you happy. And that there's a lot more to it than that.
But I guess in some ways I'm also grateful that there's more to it because it still gives me somewhere to go to find some peace. And I'm not saying that I don't have peace. I'm just saying, you know, I want to feel, I want to always feel good if I can. I know it's impossible but I want to get close to that.
You know, I'll always be kind of learning about myself. So I don't know if I'm answering some of this question or not but I used to feel a lot closer to myself. This is the first time in my life that I've felt really separate from myself. So I think part of me is just trying to figure out what's making me feel that way.
Which is one of the reasons I've been on somewhat of a search for that sort of thing. You know, sometimes I think I want to, I don't know. And then also you put a lot of yourself out there with podcasting and comedy and sharing and then sometimes it's not that, it's not that there's not much left but there's, I don't know. It's interesting, man.
You know, I remember going to China once and a woman didn't want me to take her picture and she said, because it captured part of you and that once that happened you couldn't get that part of you back. And I wonder, you know, I wonder if one day we'll see that all this capturing of ourselves and of each other that we're doing that it like derodes us or erodes us or erodes us at some level that we don't know yet. You know, I would bet there's some truth to that. Because the Chinese, man, they, you know, good and well, dude.
Don't make a damn soup out of anything, you know, so they know a lot of ingredients to the overall recipe, I bet. But thank you for the question and let's get, you know, let's get, we got a single mom nomination that came in. This would be a sweet way to end out this episode and I want to thank everybody for being a part of this podcast. Thank you to our Patreon.
We have a very small Patreon but they are mighty and it allows us to do fun things like this. So here's the nomination that came in. Ooh, they got a horse in it. Hey, Theo.
My name's Emily and I live in Richmond, Texas. This is my horse, Annie. Single Mom Submission. I'd like to nominate my sister, Ashley.
She was in Vancouver, Canada. That's where I'm from originally and she has three kids. She's a single mom. The dad kind of dropped the ball and he hasn't worked in like five years.
He doesn't really see them very often so she does everything, takes care of them and takes them to their, you know, sports and everything and she works as a nurse with like old people with like dementia and Alzheimer's and stuff which is not an easy job. So yeah, I think she's really deserving of it. So that would be awesome if you could call her and help her out. Anyways, I love your podcast.
I listen to it every week and it makes me laugh. So good to best, Theo. All right, gang, gang. You know what?
Thank you, Emily, so much for that and we would love to reach out to Ashley and do something sweet for them. So let's see if we can't give her a buzz right now. Hey, Ashley. Hello.
Hey, how are you? I'm good. You must be my mystery phone call today. I am.
Is that a, do you have a child with you? Yes. Yes. Hey, what's up?
No, my name is Theo. I work on a podcast. You have a sister that is a horse owner? I do.
Okay. Yeah. Well, we just do a thing on our podcast where like listeners will submit. It's just for single moms and people submit a single mom or somebody they really care about and then we just kind of reach out and we just wanted to send you 750 bucks to go do something fun with the kiddos this summer.
Are you serious? Yep. That's great. That's it.
That's so nice. Well, you're welcome. Oh, yeah, your sister must really care about you. Are you guys pretty close to your sister?
Well, we are, but she's afar. Oh, my son is there. Is that a player? We're pretty far apart and we haven't seen each other for a while, obviously due to COVID.
But yes, we are close. We just aren't close in distance right now. Oh, I see. Nice.
Well, she has a nice horse. Did you see that horse that she has? Yes, Annie. That's Annie.
I wrote it a long time ago. Oh, your daughter wrote it? Yeah. Oh, dang, y'all are lucky.
I would like to ride on something like that. Where are you from? Where am I from? Yeah.
I'm from Louisiana, but I live right now in Los Angeles and Nashville, so I'm kind of just trying to just be alive really. So where do you work at? You're a nurse, you said. I am a nurse.
I work in long-term care in a special care dementia unit. No, dementia is crazy, huh? Yeah, it's good times. What is something about dementia that we wouldn't even know about?
Like, is there anything that's kind of interesting? Well, from what I see, you honestly live in like a movie clip. That's how I can, it's like they're stuck in that movie clip over and over. Like, it could be a five-minute movie clip, a minute movie clip, or a day.
The next day is just relive all the same memories that they have. Wow. But, yeah, it's, yeah. That's interesting.
I hope mine is either Tommy Boy or I'm trying to think of, what's that other movie? Oh, The Patriot, I like that. But, oh, that's awesome. Well, yeah, we just wanted to send you a nice gift to do something fun with the kiddos.
What do your kids like to do? Well, oh, hey, guys. Two of you are here right now. Tell them what you like to do.
You know. You know what you want. Yeah, you know what you want. You want your package to come.
Well, no, like we... What do you order? We're still on a pretty tight lockdown up here. Oh, wow.
So we really haven't been able to do a whole lot in the last while. So, like, recently, we've just been doing lots of stuff at home, like art and, you know, even movie theaters aren't even open. Oh, that's crazy. I know, we can't do much right now.
Y'all should, um, do y'all have any animals? We do not have animals. They're going to get one, though. They want one, but they don't have one.
I think a bird would be good. I was saying that a while ago. We were going to get a fish that usually the bird dies of the cat. Well, that's a good way to...
That's a very good way to say it, yeah. Oh, that's the food chain. That's the food chain. Well, um, well, look, yeah, I don't know what you guys will be able to do, but hopefully you'll be able to find something fun to do.
And, um, yeah, your sister just obviously thinks the world of you, and so we do, too, so we just want to let you know we're thinking of you. That's amazing. Thank you so much. You bet.
And you guys come to America sometime. Have your kids been to America? Yeah, my mom and dad live in Texas, so we did make a lot of trips pre-COVID. Oh, nice.
I like Canada, though. I like Canada. Yeah, we're nice people up here. Oh, yeah, Canada's good.
A lot of people really apologizing all the time. Yep. It's really sweet. We do.
It's a really sweet place. Well, thank you for answering the phone, Ashley, and I hope you have a great day over there. Yeah, thank you so much. Same for calling.
Oh, you bet. Tell your kids I said bye. Bye, kiddos. I will.
Bye. Get that bird. Get that bird. Oh, that's sweet, man.
And it's really something sweet to think about a couple kids with a new bird, you know. I think there's something... It's almost like the Garden of Eden or something, you know, kind of like that. We had the young fellow that called in about the military and he was looking for some suggestions.
Let's take a couple of those and get some suggestions for the young fellow. Hey, Theo. My name is Patrick. I'm from Southern Oregon.
I'm calling in because I have a kid that wanted to get out of the military and didn't know exactly what he wanted to do. I got out of the military, did the whole college thing, paid it, and then I went to Northwest Lining College. And it's for those guys that work on all the power lines. Pays really well, but just, you know, keeping him in mind that Northwest, we don't have any homes to move into, so if he's got a place already, he might want to just stay in until the housing market comes back down.
Okay, so you could get a camper and go up to Oregon and do the power lining. And that'd be interesting, man. You know, that's really, that's a risque business, Daddy. You grill your freaking self up.
Hey, Theo. This is AJ. Best advice I can give him is if you haven't gone to school yet, go and do it. Get paid to go.
Get your degree and do whatever the hell you want. There you go. That's another great suggestion right there. Different opinion.
Here we go. What's happening? My name is Trevor. I did almost six years in my army calling in to basically give a little input answer for a cat who was asking what should we do or expect.
You need to start child hunting immediately. Even though you're still in the service, you can communicate with anybody that's specific to what you've done in the military, you know, so that way you can transfer that flaw. There you go. That's a great one.
Well, that's a good point, man. Like, yeah, sometimes things when you went in, everybody might have been, you know, finishing school and having a good time and partying. And now when you're out, people's lives may have changed and their accessibility to help and be a daily part of your life might not be there. Here we go.
Hey, Theo. This is Tyler from out here in L.A. You know, that Louisville area is around here in Kentucky. Oh, yeah.
Went to a party over there one time and took a felony. Robbed everybody over there and jumped off the rooftop. Here we go. Anyway, I want some advice for the military dude that just got out after five long years.
So my advice would be to sit down and do some serious lifestyle architecture, right? Like, don't rush into a job immediately. Sit down, really figure out what kind of life you would like to have, where you'd like to live, what kind of family situation, housing situation was going on, all that shit first. And then pick a career that can enable that, that you, I guess, could tolerate pretty much.
You can find something you're passionate about even better. But the main thing here is picking a job first is ass backwards and you should really figure it out that fits into your life and not the other way around. The good thing is you have five years of military experience and employers really cream their pants over that. So get that going for you.
Yeah, there you go. Some really nice plethora of selections, man. And thank all you guys for your service and for being a part of this podcast, man. I'm just, you know, I'm just shocked at how many people are involved in this podcast and this group.
