But you know, it's greasy. I was at some old area or something the other day in like a food area. And they had a fella and he was selling food, you know, and Mexican food. And he's like, he puts it on my plate. And it's like, it was really like, like, I had like a lot of grease or something. I think it was called Al Pastor or whatever. And it was a new type of meat. Like 15 years ago, they didn't have it, right? And suddenly, it's like on the meat, when you look at the meats or whatever on the section on the menu, or sometimes they put a menu like up in the air at a, like at a restaurant or whatever. If you're over at a, you know, you stop in a little restaurant, a little Mexican restaurant or you're at an, um, uh, RVs or so they'll have on the menu. They have a menu up in the air where everybody can read it at the same time, because some places, if it's a little, some place they give you your own menu. In some places, they want everybody to read it together, uh, like group reading or something, you know, my family and stuff. Sometimes we go after a church and we'd all hold hands and read the menu together. And, uh, people would yell f**ts or whatever at us. But that doesn't matter. Anyway, what am I talking about? Oh, so I was saying, dude, so the guy out order the food, the out past store, because I'm thinking, oh, the pastor, right? This, you know, I'm thinking, yeah, I'm going to connect with the pastor. I don't know. We just come from church. I'm thinking like it's a, it's a religious thing. You know, I'm going to order, uh, out pastor or whatever. Uh, but it's out past store. It's Spanish, right? And in, and you see what it means here, past store, uh, meckin, as popular meckin dish, uh, meckin, sin dish, marinated pork and shaved off. It says also shaved off vertical split shaved off. So this is something that's, you know, it's shaved off. But anyway, the guy puts it on the plate and he's like, oh, it's, it's greasy, you know, and it had like a lot of grease in it. He's like, man, it's really greasy. And he's looking at me like, like I'm supposed to do something like, I just bought it from you. He's, he's acting like, like I made it, like greasy or something. I didn't make it greasy. You served it to me. Oh, it's greasy. I'm like, yeah, it's greasy, bro. It's greasy for sure. But like, I didn't want it like that. And then I went and ate it. I'm sitting there eating it and, uh, and he looks over at me from behind the counter like, man, it's greasy, huh? And I'm like, yeah, I mean, you made it. You knew it was greasy when you give it to me. But it's crazy. That's like, say you buy a car for me. And then before you come get it, I take all the windows out of it and shit. And I'm like, man, this song is windy in here, huh? Like, yeah, like you took the windows out, right? Like, if yeah, um, yeah, it is windy. It shouldn't be, but you know why it is, right? Like that was a thing. And bro, some people don't even know that windows, they put them to stop the wind, right? People don't even realize because people were sitting in a car. They used to not have any windows in there. So you'd be sitting in a car and people would just be in there just cold just like, oh, and then they put the wind o's in and it stopped the o's and it stopped the wind. So I think for me, it's just kind of like, how was my week been or whatever? You know, it's been life, bro. It's been life, bro. Sometimes it's like, it's sad pastore, bro. Sometimes it's greasy. You know, sometimes it's just life is just a second class meat, bro. It's a second class meat. And that's okay, bro. You know, it's still a, oh, it's still a entree, bro. It's still an entree. I'm a second class meat. I'm a third or fourth class meat sometimes, bro. But I'm still an entree, baby gang. I'm upstairs. Hey, man, bro. Good to see you guys today. Good to be here. It's been a while, bro, since we checked in on a solo episode, um, we had stage coach and checked in with y'all since we had to head a stage coach adventure. And man, that was a time, bro. You know, I got to go on stage at stage coach and you should. It's in the name of the place, right? Stage coach. What do you think I'm expecting when I get there, you know? So, um, but yeah, I got to go on stage out there with, uh, Miss Ella Langley and boy, I'll tell you if I felt like a mountain lion out there. At first, I was like really nervous, you know, because I had to do my lines. But when I got out there, I did a couple of lines. And then I looked around, I said, dang, I'm a mountain lion. And that's how I felt. I was just, I don't know. It was just like, you know, it was just like the Lord was just tossing chunks of magic to people and I caught one. That's what I felt like. It was pretty, uh, yeah, it was pretty, it was, it was an amazing experience just to get out there. I'm not a singer, right? I'm not a singer by nature, right? If you ask me to sing, bro, it's greasy. You feel me, bro, that's how it is, bro. That's how it is with me. Um, but I am, I did realize this, bro. I'm a crooner, bro. I'm a crooner. Let me let me see what a crooner is. Crooner plural. A crooner is a male singer who performs sentimental songs and jazz standards using a smooth low and highly intimate voice, bro. That's me. Because the song, it would just like a singer might be like, and this is what it's all about. But the crooner, bro, he just comes in at the end, bro. He touches up. He's like the kind of guy that does the baseboards in your house, right? He don't do all the painting, baby, but he'll come in and just, you feel me? It's like it's a magical time at the county fair. And then the crooner comes in and he's like at the county fair. You feel me? That's him. So that's me, bro. You know what I'm saying? I'm not the singer. I'm not the painter. I'm not doing all of that. I'm not doing the architecture. I'm not doing all that. But when they come in and they need that dog at the end, just to do you know, do you know? You hear all those? That's called stair step vocals. I'm trying to give another good popular song. Fly me to the moon. Something from this jet from the past 700 years. Sorry. No, no, no, no, great. But that's like something like, um, to you can't like, like here's one like, like, uh, till you can't, till you can't, till you can't, that's Cody Johnson, like, till you can't and then I come in like, till you can't, I push that octave further, till you can't. So I don't do all the singing. I just come in and do that bass, war, baby. That's where they bring me in, bro. I'm that low, long monster. You feel me? I'm in the swamp, bro. They don't know I'm down there and then I hit them with that, baby. I'll hit them with that trace. Atkins, baby. I'm that basement bad boy. You find me in the bottom of your lungs, baby girl. Um, so yeah. So that's, so, so, so that's how I am. I'm a crooner. And that's it. I'm a crooner right there. Mel singer who performed sentimental songs and jazz standards using smooth, low and intimate voice, bro. So they got me out there, bro. But thank you, Miss Langley, for having, uh, having me out. And that was a special time out there. And, um, you know, you know, that's Now, I'm glad everybody got to see it. It's scary to do something for the first time in front of a lot of folks. That's what I'm realizing. So what else? Yeah, what else do we have? Thank you guys. Thank everybody for just paying attention being a part of this podcast and this experience. Love you guys, bro. Let me just say that. You know, yeah, what's happening? What else was going on since we lasted a solo? Oh, I got the, you know, people thought I was gonna delete myself. I don't know how you can share that or whatever say online. That way, you know, people were saying that was going around. And that's a crazy thing to have going around, bro, because, you know, 'cause then when you see people, they think you were ghost and shit. You know, some black folks was like, oh, you want your ghost shit now, Anka? I ghost, Anka. And I'm like, damn ghost. Anka, bro, chill, bro, chill. Bro. But yeah, that was crazy, dude. 'Cause I didn't even know that this had been happening and then people were like, you know, I get a text from a step family and they're like, is everything okay, you know? And then some of the text from other people started escalating. Like, damn, remember when you was here, bro? Dang, it wasn't so long ago, cut. And they'll put a picture of us. And then make it black and white, bro. Like, I'm like, dude, that picture's from four days ago. And they put black and white and put a couple of doves on it, bro. And then they throw a stud out there, bro, you know? I wish it had a phone to call you. Just some of the texts you get, bro. It's like, dude, with everything that's happening, can I borrow your truck? And I'm like, what do you mean with everything that's happening, bro? And then they would put like a coffin and then a truck emoji. I'm like, wow. I'm like, yeah, you can, bro, but it don't have any windows. You feel me, it's breezy? It's breezy in there. Oh, man, bro. So, yeah, just grateful to God, bro, that we continue to rock and we do it. And, you know, so that's what's going on, bro. What else, oh, I got to go to the rodeo, man. I've actually been to two rodeos since I last did a solo episode. I've been over there to Franklin rodeo and I've been over there to the music city, rodeo. Both of them beautiful. And you know, you see a lot of these rodeo babies, these cowboys and cowgirls that are out there. You know, and I mean, you know, they had, who do we see out there? We saw Rocker Steiner's out there. Waky Shala out there. And Waky Shala, oh, he broke a lamb out there and broke a lamb. Lefty Holman, he was out there. Shorty Garrett, shorty Garrett. And you think it's gonna be a brother in it, ain't Sam Peterson, man, I got to chat with him. Just, you just get to be around these fellows, man. Cade Sonier, Sonier, Sonier, Cade Sonier. Out of Louisiana, out out out out at Karen Crowe. You're a man, bruh. And they had another rider out there at Baker, Louisiana. I can't remember the name, but I got to walk in the locker room and all of the um, the rodeo people are there and the clown, he's happy when he's out there. But in the back, he's putting on duct tape and he's stitching his own skin up because he's out there battling bulls, you know? He's out there, he's, he's front lines against the dark animal arts out there. But yeah, they got all, all the, all the riders, they're all, every name, they're almost injured, bro. The names that they have, man. The names that they have, they're almost, you can tell, they're almost gonna, maybe gonna be injured or something. They'll be, you know, they'll have shorty lefty, broken, uh, Richardson, right? Pelvis, uh, Shatterford. You're like, Pelvis, Shatterford, bro. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Somebody get him a diaper, bro. Get him an adult diaper, bro. Lacerated um, arm legerton. That's, he's, he's riding the day. Wheelchair Montgomery, bro. Crutches, uh, Johansson. He's over there. He's out of Utah. Yeah, they just, you know, that dish is just, everybody's on the cusp but getting injured out there. 'Cause these, I look as dangerous with these guys, dude. And these girls, they're warriors. They're out there. They're warriors out there with Anna Malia. And I love it. I love it, dude. They let us get right on the back of, uh, they let us get right on the back of the shoots. You know, and who was out there dusty, right? Can you look that up for me? Is it the right brothers? Now, not the people that flew over there out of Kitty Hall. I'm talking about the young, uh, these are, yeah. This is someone right here, Stetson Rusty. Um, I think there was only two of them. Maybe they were there. But dude, they, they, boy, they some young bangers, bro. They some young bangers, man. Some warriors, we're gonna get a few of them on the podcast, uh, at some point. But just to get to see where we're right up on the shoot. And they were doing bear back horse, but also bronch. Can you, let me, let me look up what bronch is, bronch riding. What is bronch riding? Bronch riding is a classic rodeo event where a cowboy attempts to ride a bucking bronch, no, a bucking horse, AKA a bronch for eight seconds while holding onto a single rain with one hand. Oh, that's like trying to give you a, you, you ex-wife a hug if you have it there at Apple bees or whatever. Say you're meetin' up for you. You have a, you have a child that you co-parent and you're meetin' up over their ribs, her dawns, you know, or Apple bees or something. And you try to hug your ex-wife for, boom, that's the new rodeo right there. Hugging your ex-wife, bro. She ain't letting you stay on there for eight seconds. She ain't letting you stay on there for two seconds, bro. Unless she'd get that check, you know what I'm sayin'? That was my mother, she made my dad sit in a car if he didn't have that money. You sittin' in, we goin' inside the, you sittin' in the car. But there's nothin' more altercative. There's nothin' more altercative, bro, than when they haven't, somebody hadn't paid that alimony or whatever, child support. But anyway, yeah, that's bronch riding a classic rodeo event right there. And my favorite part of rodeo, I'll say this is the barrel riders. It's barrel racing, I think. And Miranda Lambert does it. She does it as a hobby. If you're listening, I'll put some video on the episodes. You can see it, man, him ladies. And when they hit that third barrel and they had in bag, bro, the place gets lit, bro. Let's go. Just singin' your heart out, you know, just for some potential lesbian, you know, just who's giving it a roll out there. Praise God, baby. But yeah, I was right up on the shoot, man. I was right up on the shoot. And some of the animals, man, they just, like, do it imagine the first person that ever saw a bull, whoever saw a bull. He probably, he probably went right back to his friends and he said, "Hey, look, I saw this cow and it's not real happy. I saw a cow, this cow is not real happy. And some of the bulls, I was on the shoot and some of the bulls low-key, bro, see my little bit, zesty, bro, you know. One of the bulls is like, hey, can you fix my air for me, you know. I was like, I don't have any lotion or anything. He's like, I'll just use your hands, bro, it's greasy, you know. Because I've been jumping around. And one of the bulls straight up told me, he's like, bro, I like having young men on my back. I'm like, what? I'm like, who do I report this to, dude? He's like, yeah, bro, I like having these young men on my back for a little bit. He's like, but I get so excited that they fall off. I'm like, bro, bro, this horse needs to be in the Epstein files, bro. But, man, rodeo is a grace for it. And there's something for the whole family, man. And you can sit there, you can enjoy yourselves, get you some pain. That's, bro, get you a little bit of water, a little gatorade or something, some beer or something homemade, bro. Bring your little devil egg, bring your little DE out. If you've been keeping one in your pocket with a little piece of ice in there to keep it cool. But I want to say the history of the rodeo, then we'll get into some calls. We have some calls that came in. I just want to learn about the rodeo. And I want to have a specialist on to talk about the rodeo. The rodeo originated in the 16th century cattle culture of Mexico. It evolved from the livestock, round up and branding practices of Spanish settlers and their Mexican ranch hands, known as "vacueros". The term itself comes from the Spanish verb "rodir", meaning to encircle or round up. The transition from ranch work to competitive sport took place in the American West, following the Civil War. during cattle drives and roundups, cowboys and vaqueros, vaqueros, again, gathering informally to test their riding and roping skills. Impromptu contests between different ranchers and ranches started to spring up. Many historians point to dear trail, Colorado, hosting one of the earliest competitive cowboy contests in 1864. Vaqueros. Shout out CJ Vaqueri. I went to school with growing up. I don't know if it's similar or close. I don't know. But he was a cowboy, I do remember that. I don't know if he rode or not, but he had it in his blood by the praise god, amen. But y'all would like to learn more about the rodeo. I need to get like a rodeo special, somebody knows the history of it, I need to look search for that. Yeah, there's a lot of Latinos in there, a lot of Mexican guys, a lot of Brazilians. A lot of Canadians, a lot of Australians. When you see the lineups at these rodeos, a lot of guys from Utah, Wyoming, Alberta, different places over there, you ever think about how something got it start? Like Mountain Dew, for example, I always thought it just kind of appeared one day, you know? Just like a stork brought it from a beverage universe or something. And then somebody saw it just sitting in a cooler, just glistening, just glistening. But no, it's actually straight out of Tennessee. You know that? It's a real place, real people. It was two brothers working tirelessly to nail that citrus kick that we all know and love. It came from folks with grit and independence doing things their own way. And somehow they bottled that. And attitudes still in it today. You hear that? That's attitude. Still bold, still unmistakable, still do. It's an American original that's been tasting great since 48, 1948, red, white and dew right there, done. Limited edition. It's a hometown story and a can. Next time you grab a dude, just know it's more than a, than just a drink. It's an American original. One dude tasting great since 48. They got a new minion now. His name's Dick. And I know how that sounds, but that's the name, that's what they landed on. And honestly, I respect the confidence. You'd have to really believe in a guy to name him that and put him up on the big screen. He's got one eye. He's got one eye too, yeah. Which I feel like if you've only got one eye, you've earned whatever name you want. Somebody's going to argue with him. What are you going to do? Look him in the eyes. He's got, he's, he's got the one, he already won. Anyway, he's in a movie. Him and his buddy's tried to make a monster picture and the whole thing went sideways. And now there's real monsters loose in Hollywood. What happens next? You, you just have to get a ticket and see the films called minions and monsters out July 1st. If you like Woody, you'll love Dick. Go see Dick with your family. There's genuinely just, there's no good way to say that. I tried and here we are. Tickets on sale now. When I first moved into Tennessee, I would go to this coffee place and, and I was, I was like, Florida. I was like, flirt with the girl that worked there. But bro, I was like, I, I just, I couldn't eat like, I was nervous, right? So I was nervous to flirt with her. But anyway, I remember she'd be like, well, do you want this with your coffee and I would just take whatever extra thing she's like, yeah, you want the foam on it, cold foam, fur, whatever they put on it. I'd be like, yeah, I'll take, yeah, give me a little bit. Cinnamon, you want, yeah, yeah. You want cinnamon. Dude, I would leave out of there with like extra cinnamon like in a little to go. And like, just like, I'd have like a $27 coffee in there, dude. I had, I was buying all the roast from her. She had like Ghana, the missing person roast or whatever that they came out with for that kid or whatever. I bought the, um, I bought the boating at like this stuff. They did a fundraiser for boating accident. I bought that shit. I had so much coffee in my car. I had like the stuff from like Estonia, Zimbabwe, like the oldest shit, Middle East, you know, Madagascar or whatever. I had like coffee for kids or whatever and they shouldn't even, kids aren't even supposed to drink it. I had like two pounds of that in my car. Dude, if I even, I had so much coffee that I bought from this girl, just to go talk to her. And at the end, like at one point, if I even got in my car and I cut the heat on, dude, it would just be like, it literally was turning into like a roaster in my car. And if I did the thing where you close the, she don't get any outside air conditioning, you know, just like to smell myself type of whatever that setting is, bro. And you just put it, dude, it was, I would cut that on. I'd be awake for one month, couldn't, couldn't close my, there was so much coffee in my car. I remember going through a drive through one time and somebody's like, oh, are you selling coffee? And I was like, fuck no. What are you talking about? I'm just hitting on someone without some of the skills to do it. What do you mean by buying, you know? If I, dude, I had so much coffee, bro. If I even went and sat in my car, it would wake me up. People would be like, dude, are you tired or whatever? I'm like, yeah, I am. I'm just gonna go, I'd go sit in my car for 50 seconds. I'd come back in and I'd be fine, be, I could work for another half a day. That's how it was. I was dirt. Vandy, we frickin' dirt. Shout out to my boy Diego Pavi over there in Baltimore, man. Blessings to him, bro. Yeah. What else is going on, bro? Let's take some calls. There's always a hotline, 985, 6649, 503. I got this one right here. Hey, Diego, it's Michael from Utah. What's up, big mic? Hey, mic. Onward? I've been with my girlfriend for about, you know, maybe eight months now and I love her, I love her, man. She loves me and the whole time we've been together, I've been, I've just been overtaken by all this jealousy, man, of kind of her past and she's told me some things that, you know, she did before we met that, you know, don't, don't, don't be aligned with, you know, where I'm at or where I've been at, you know, and I struggled to not hold it against her, you know, I struggled to forgive and forget and just accept and love unconditionally, you know, and I don't know, man, things just keep coming up, it keeps hearing things and kind of just hurts and I know I probably do it to myself, but I'm just asking for maybe a little bit of your advice, man, what do you think? You know, maybe what can I do to just get out of myself, you know, to stop putting myself in the center of the universe, you know, and just love. Do that's a great question, man, wow, what can I do to just love, bro? Man, if we, if that was our national anthem, man, I bet we would all be in a different place or especially our international anthem as well. Yeah, I think, you know, there's some things like it's easy for me to say, right? Like I made some mistakes in this realm, man, I was jealous, you know, I kind of created unrealistic expectations for people that they could never live up to, you know, and I would hold like old stuff against girlfriends, yeah, I've done that, like stuff they can't even like, you know, how could people don't do time travel, they can't go change something. And so if I'm holding something like that against somebody, it's in a, and I know that they can't change it, then that's, it really says something about me, you know? And I need to make a choice, do I either want to, can I not, can I really not live with it? Or am I just afraid of like what other people will think? You know, if I date somebody that's had like different, like a past, partners or this or that, what are they going to think? I was always like, what would other people think of this girl I'm dating? What would other people think of her, man, I call, I lost some good opportunities because of that. Now, instead of what would I think, what do I think? And maybe she need, bro, maybe, what if it's like, hey, I'm going to, I'm going to be the person so you don't have to, like I wonder, does she, did she even want to like live in someone like if she was like out and about or if a, or if it's a girl and a guy was out and about, like maybe they didn't even really want to be living that way. And maybe now you're like this thing, you're this person, you're finally this person next and be like, I'm going to make sure they don't have, like I'm going to be there for them no matter what. So they don't have to, they don't ever have to like put themselves out there like that again. They're going to be fulfilled, right? They're going to know that I'm here for them. You know, I don't know, maybe I don't know, I don't know if that's crazy to say, I can't, I haven't had success doing that. But I'm just thinking, man, what if, what if we were like, what if we were the kind of boyfriends that it was like, I'm not going to be like that. I'm not going to hold your passing at you. I'm going to make sure that you have somebody that's going to be right there, you know? I'm going to make sure you don't ever have to live that way again if you don't want to, that you don't have to operate in these certain circles if you don't want to, you know? I don't know, that's tough, dude. I was, yeah, I wasn't good at it, man. I would just be like, because it gave me something always this little like, this little extra card of like, oh, why I can be upset, right? It gave me a chance to have one foot out of the relationship. That's the truth. That's the truth, bro. But imagine if you could be like, I'm going to be the person this girl doesn't ever have to worry again. They don't ever have to worry if they're going to have somebody's going to be there for them. They don't ever have to like, give themselves a way to an environment they're not sure about. They don't, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm going to be, I'm going to be this man that they've been needing. So I don't know, man, I'm not preaching that. I'm just thinking out loud. What if the calendar did that to us, right? What if the calendar, and I don't know who owns the calendar, whatever, probably Bezos or Lutnik or whatever? But what if the calendar, like you'd had a day, years ago, that wasn't good, right? Or you had a week, years ago, that wasn't even that good, right? And what if the calendar just suddenly made you relive that life's going a certain way and now the calendar is like, oh, I'm throwing in 2011 at you. It was a Wednesday, remember that? Bam. And you're like, what the fuck? This was so long I got to do this. So that's kind of like kind of what I was doing when I was acting like that. I was like, what about this old thing, this old day, this old relationship? You know, why don't we live that shit again? Why don't we go through that shit again? Because I didn't want, I really didn't want there to be enough. I wanted a reason that this wasn't going to work. That's what I wanted. It's not really what I wanted, but I really wanted was I wanted it to work. I was afraid to commit to it. So let me keep bringing these old, old things along. Let me keep bringing these old hurdles. But one day, somebody gets tired of jumping over those with you, Brian, then you just stand in there with a bunch of old hurdles and shit, like just like a pee coach. That's how to work. That's been, you know, just using in their car at lunch or whatever. And that shit. So anyway, I don't know if that helps or not, bro. Man, yeah, what if we could all be brave enough, you know, to love the person that we love, like we know they should be loved, right? I think that's what I mean, bro. What if we could all be brave enough to do that? But praise God, bro, let's get another one, man, what we got here. APO, this is Jared from Indiana. What's up, Jared, and congratulations on your new Indiana bears. Oh, man, who never had a father. And now he's trying to raise three boys. The youngest one's one, and I named them after you. I love everything you do. I just, I don't know. I want to be the father that I never had. But sometimes they get, they get hurt, man. I probably hear of in the back. But if you got any advice for me, love your man. Oh, yeah, that loud when that one's be me. That must be me, bro, to allow when the chatty went back there, then went back to selling dime bags or whatever, bro, selling QP, bro, you know what I'm saying, pushing weight. That was the destiny. But it's a, it's a, it's a thoughtful call to think about this, especially around Father's Day, just to think like, you know, I think what I would do, I would write down the stuff. Maybe that you feel like you didn't get. And then you'll kind of have your answers, I think. For me, I think some of it would have just been direction. It would have been like, maybe if my father would have put his hand on the back of my neck more. That's like a very fatherly son or parental type of thing, the back of the neck. And not even, not looking at your children with judgment. You know, I was, I was looked at with judgment a lot, mostly judgment. In fact, probably 250% judgment. So that's how I learned that only way to operate in the world was judgment. That was like the currency. You know, it was like, oh, I'm going to judge you. That's kind of how I showed affection was through, oh, I'm going to judge you less. If that sounds crime, I mean, I don't know if that sounds real to anybody or not. You think that's real, Hauston? That's actually really interesting. But yeah. Why do you think that is? Oh, I think it made perfect sense because if somebody judges, if all I know, if all I look, I'll only look, I see in a parent's eyes as judgment. Then I told them to do it myself. And it's all madue probably of others, especially if it's like an intimate, if there's like intimacy or just communication. So yeah, that's what I did. And it's a survival skill that can help you a lot because you're judging thing. You get really good at judging this, judging out. You're really good. But it'll keep you alone too. It can anyway. But blessings to you, bro. Happy Father's Day to you. And I'm just thinking out loud too, bro. I don't know any of this. I'm not a scientist. Um, you know, but uh, but yeah. So, but blessings to you, bro. I tell you what the, I said, what's up, bro? Type shit BLM. I'll see them in the streets. Boy gang. Let me see what else we got here. ACL. It's Mason. What's up, Mason? Thank you for calling brother. Question for you. You know, I kind of just wanted to see what you thought about it. What you, you know, caught a little Wisconsin air, boy, you know, oral and oil maybe onward. Do the other day, I walked into a gas station. And there was a man who clearly had Down syndrome. Um, he didn't look the oldest. Oh, yeah, the ops. And he was trying to buy some beer. And I kind of read the situation and knew what was going on. But the clerk actually, he could tell he didn't know what to do. And he, you know, he kind of looked at it, he actually turned to me. Like, sir, what do you think of this? And, and I, I don't know if I should feel bad, but I told him it looked good. And he sold to clearly underage man with Down syndrome, alcohol. And I'm just wondering if I did the right thing, what you do in that situation. Uh, thanks, Bill gang gang. Yeah. But of course, of course, dude, if I guys Down syndrome give him a fucking drink, give him a break. Man, cut his work hours a little bit like, yeah, dude, I remember when we're growing up, if a guy Down syndrome, you give him a beer, you bring him, you'd even get some beer from inside. If your dad wouldn't give you a whole can, you'd come and just give him and just let him just drink it out of your hands brother. Like, you got to support people. You know, people with Down syndrome love to drink beer because I think it has sugar in the, it's a lot of its sugar based. Why do Down syndrome people love beer? Oh, it just shows a picture of Ireland. So county court specifically, but dude, it's like, I think, I don't, I believe look, if somebody has Down syndrome, and if they might have it or whatever, I think you got to let him drink, bro. That's the type of place I'm from. You know, almost had it. I was on the ropes and I think you got to let people cook if they have it. And yeah, dude, when I was growing up, we would get up, we had a guy who had, I don't know what he had, he had something, something pretty strong and we'd send him, we give him $50, $60 go in there, bro. One time, bro, it's kid Damien, dude. And bro, one time we give him the money to go in there and he fucking went out the back, dude. He went out the back and ran up there to a senior center and broke down a bunch of the wall art and the windows in there. So you know, I'm saying we never got our money back though, but the shit I'm talking about is like, you don't know what's popping, bro. You don't know what's popping. So I don't think we should hold somebody back from having a good time. I do think the underage thing, but if somebody has Down syndrome, bro, I say let him cook. I say let him cook, bro. But yeah, I mean, should you feel bad about it? I don't know. I mean, as long as you aren't making fun of the guy or doing something like that, as long as you aren't, you know, plus people want to feel included, buying beer is like kind of like a ritual when you're underage. I'm not saying, you know, you know, my sitting here. Don't do it. I got to say that for legal reason, but people do it. You know, even down syndrome people do it apparently. So Whatever, bro You know, he probably he might not even have down syndrome. He might just live too close to a data center, bro You know, I'm saying him up like he might be all hopped up on data and shit You know little rickies on that data So Let's take another call here speaking a data center is actually Hi, my name is Amy Topkins. What I would love is this field on could talk about or even mention the fact that A Georgia company and building an AI data center right next to the Nashville Zoo and right next to an elementary school So it's maxed up in the middle of these two innocent beautiful creatures on God's planet These evil ghouls are coming in and destroying the air the water the environment, you know the earth Everything that we have I mean is animals are already even do okay, and now they're coming in and do this to it So it's like I'm just trying to do whatever I can to bring attention to this. Amen. Thank you for calling I agree, bro. Now the thing is they got data everywhere. I'll say this dude on behalf of everybody that's human Has a heart Fuck AI, bro Fuck AI. I don't have any friends Actually that are that are ever like hey AI. What do you how's AI? You know, I'm saying nobody's doing that shit We're already fine We can already order our food fast enough. We can already watch a movie if we want on our phone like we don't need anything else I don't know who else needs more shit I don't want any data, bro. They got too much data Now what happens the kid you know the kids playing at school or whatever and he falls in a They got to puddle a dad outside of the data center or whatever and he's got a bunch of dad and shit on his shirt or whatever You can't you know he's got a bunch of like love island episodes that won't come out You know stained up for sure especially the new season a bit much, but it's like You know and what it how does that even work? They got a data leak at the factory now He's a your kid, you know little Ricky's got a bunch of data stuck in his leg or something You know, he's got a bunch of fucking maps of like from the 1300s or whatever Or he's got a bunch of Epstein files just stuck in his spinal column or something because of the You know the data. He's just got emails stuck in his scanner whatever, you know, it's just like We don't want any data, bro. We don't want any nobody wants a data center. Dude nobody wants it And the people that want them to me, bro. They seem kind of evil. It's like what's gonna happen? You know you you fall down and you get a bunch, you know a bunch of loose data flies out of the factory or something now and your kids got You know he's got five episodes of Of Dutton Ranch or whatever stuck in his neck or something. It's gotten crazy We don't want it nobody wants the shit And so here's what I think I really believe this I think I really believe it. I don't know but I believe that yesterday I Believe that some people know how to live forever. They've cracked the code and So suddenly they have to put the rest of us. They have to lock us down. They have to Because if everybody finds out about it Then everybody's gonna be able to do it right there's got to be some people have to take like have to separate Themselves, and I think this is how they're doing it. They're creating these data centers. It's all just gonna It's all I think gonna be I believe this is my Hypothery Theory That they're gonna all it's all gonna be locked in with these flock cameras or some company like this Palantir one of these companies Gonna be owning all of this information. They're gonna put it all in It's all gonna be we're gonna all gonna be locked down Everybody's you not gonna be able to live or do anything that feels human Right, there's gonna become this kind of score this sort of like Social and even emotional sort of credit score, and then AI is gonna become it won't it won't ever really But it's gonna try to become like our new God Right because I think people go to God for their feelings for their for help for Hope right they lay there their Their faults at the feet of Jesus for hope right and they're it's all get you're gonna have to like appease somehow you're gonna have to get do well enough For the data center to grant you whatever you then need right Is that sound crazy, Alston? No So that's why they need because what does anybody thought what what what data they we already have like we're sharing picture We're sharing phone. We all have video in the cloud like we all have this stuff that you know There's millions of episodes of different movies and all it is in the cloud What do they need it's a they're asking for a lot of suddenly they need It's a lot of space to this need data everywhere So yeah, it's unbelievable, bro It's unbelievable I could talk more about it I would love to know more people's thoughts about it, but I don't give a fuck about it I don't see what it's gonna do for us. I don't understand to be human I think we've let a lot of tarantulas that aren't humans start to take over society and And we're seeing the repercussions that in some of us we didn't let it happen But I believe that yeah the devil is alive, bro The devil is alive and the devil is a liar, bro Anyway, I'm not trying to preach it, and I think some of it just makes you mad and it's scary They're putting it by a zoo. It's like they're rubbing in our face like you know what I'm saying because a lot of that is this is so showing control They're putting it by a school or whatever Some kid, you know, he's he's like he's on the swing set and he just hits his head like there's some data going through the air Whatever and he hits his head on some fucking dad or whatever now. He's got a concussion And he you know, he just he just stuck singing Spotify lyrics You know just a bunch of data. He's just sitting there, you know reciting just Larry fleet and the castles and Luke Bryan and Morgan wall and deep cuts It's like it just it's you know, I don't know, bro I don't know what's gonna happen man Um And some girl today she said and when do we stand up? When do we? It's a good question I don't know, there's some there must be something attractive in us just watching are Demi like we're like I don't know I don't know that makes any sense Um Oh, I do want to get the president of Mexico on here. Um, Ms. Claudia shine bomb. I will come to Mexico City. I want to come down there So I would love yeah, I would love to get the president of Mexico on just to learn I want to learn like about like The Mexican-American relationship from them from a Mexican point of view from a leader there point of view Not you know, I just want to learn more. I think it would be exciting and um So this is my beacon for that You know, I'm trying to speak what I would like and Yeah, I would love to know like how how to our laws like the laws that we make here How does that affect things that happen in Mexico? What are like the truths about cartel stuff in Mexico? I would love to know about Like what are some of like the big long-term goals of Mexico? Just things like that. It's interesting because I don't ever I don't ever learn about it I probably could but it would be nice to learn in person So that is Something I would like to I'd like to have that opportunity if you agree on it to me amen What else oh, yeah eight bro, let's talk about Atlanta Atlanta's got the most flock cameras, bro Yeah, the speaking of it speaking of also just going back real quick to the Data Center the company behind The Nashville Zoo Data Center the one that's near there allegedly is DC blocks So let me look at them who owns DC blocks Primarily owned by post road group and Bane capital credits owned by alternative investment Jonathan Levine John Wright Firm-wise strategic direction a steer by managing partners David Gross and Chairman such as Steve Pagliuca and Josh Beckenstein Beckenstein This is all AI overview. This is from Google AI Atlanta based DC blocks proposed building a 24 acre two building data center Campus at 648 grass-mere park. That's unbelievable, dude. I go drive over there all the time. I go to a meeting not far from there Unbelievable Nashville Council the National Metropolitan Council passed an initial temporary moratorium that seeks to Restrict larger scale data centers from being built within a half mile of homes Bro the thing is the most that it most of the flock cameras now I saw one the other day Just saw one the other day over there about a donut shop, bro. I was giving me a couple donuts bras a little depressed at night I'll pull it up over there and they had some kids over there milling around, but I waited in my car about seven, 11 minutes broke. Waited to eight. Dad and mom came and picked them up 'cause I just didn't want to be in Paris, bro. And then I walked in there, got me a couple of donuts, bro. And on the way out, I saw a flock came, I was sitting in my car eating donuts, get seeing the flock. But Atlanta's got the most, bro. Let me see. Flock group incorporated, doing business as flock, safety as an American manufacturer and operator of security hardware and software, particularly automated license plate recognition, video surveillance and gunfire locator systems, bro. Dude, I saw a video the other day, it was like the block versus flock, bro. And it was a lot of gangsters and bangers out there in the streets. And what they were thinking of flock cameras, man. 'Cause that's really where it's gonna, you know. 'Cause a lot of like gangs, they own certain territory. But now these flock cameras are coming in saying they own it. So that's, you know what I'm saying? That's the battle we gonna see soon, bro. Flock versus the block, bro. So you know what I'm saying? 'Cause otherwise they're gonna have surveillance on what all of these bangers, bro. I'm curious, bro. Ain't no blood, ain't no crippin' 'cause of flock. Dang, bro. It's gonna be interesting, man. Let's take another call. We got a lot of calls that have come in. Before we do that, here's how what you can do is a citizen to oppose the Nashville Zoo data center. So you can sign the petition on change.org, titled Nashville Zoo says no to propose data center. Okay, great. And we'll put the link to that in here. We'll put it in here and YouTube information.

Hey Charles, hey Chuck. - I'm a ghetto or Linda Tennessee. I'm a certified with it. I am doing work on the new Titan Stadium right now. So I just want to your thoughts on what do you think about them building this new stadium and what do you think about the old one that going to be there and on more? Anyway, I just like to your thoughts on that. - Amen brother, thanks for the call dude. I think my thoughts are simple. I like the old stadium. I like it. I'm kind of a romanticist. I like, you know, I like old school or stuff, traditional stuff a little bit. I think it felt a little bit more like the city. It felt a little bit more comfortable. If more you could just pull right up, you were right there. The new windage just feels like it's taking us to a new and bigger place and I know that's where the city is headed. And I know I'm just a transplant here. So take my, I'm part of the problem, you know? So I take my thoughts with a grain of salt but I'm just saying, that's how I feel, bro, you know? From one dub to another, bro, you know what I'm saying? It's black and white to me, just like a, bro. You feel me, bro? Just like you, bro, you feel me, cut? I just like that smaller feel. It felt it fit a little bit more. Sometimes I worry that Nashville's just becoming more of like a tourist destination than it is a place like a home. But then I, what do I don't know, you know? I don't have a family right now. I don't have those other elements that give it that. So those are just my thoughts, but that's how I feel. But at the same time, bless you boys for staying over there and building it. And I'm curious to see, yeah, this part of me is curious to see what it looks like. But yeah, I don't know. There's something that felt like a little bit more like a, I like that old F-150, bro. That's like, you know, in my heart. My heart's no, is it probably like an 88 F-150, bro? So I like something that would match with that. I like that old stadium right there. But thank you, brother, praise God. Stay safe, bro. Take shit. B-L-L-M, bro. And W-L-M, you know, you, you bow both. All right, one last call, man. - Stay feel, this is Nate calling you.

And man, I'm, I'm just a better man than I ever, ever imagined I could be. Yeah, I was just like learning to live in the moment, be present, be right here, deal with my shit, work through my problems. Yeah, feel free sitting here today and I'm just feeling free, man. I'm feeling really, really free. - I don't know if we just call him with some happy five years, you think? - That'd be great. - Yes, you reached Nate giving a message and then I will give you a call. - What's up, Nate? It's Theo from the podcast, you hit the hotline the other day. I just wanted to call him with you happy five years, man. Thanks for just sharing with us, you know, just the positive energy, the possibility, you know, like just the, the promises that you said that they talk about in the program that like, you know, that the old stuff will fall away that you will. Hey, what's up, man? - Hey. - What's up, brother? This is Theo, is this Nate? - Yeah, this is Nate. - What's up, bro? I heard your voice mail on the hotline. I just wanted to call him with you happy five years, dude. We're on the podcast right now, but I can keep it off either way, but I just wanted to call him with you happy five years, bro. - Oh, no, that's cool, man, keep it on. Yeah, thanks, thanks a bunch, man. It's a big deal for me and real happy. I'm actually out walking on a date with my wife right now and let's go. Y'all take walks, huh? - Well, you bet. - Yeah. - I like walks, bro. - We went out for some supper. Now we're out on a walk. We got the five, we got five kids, all five kids are at home 'cause my oldest is 16 and can hang out and watch them. Yeah, life's good, brother. - Bro, supper and a walk. Y'all must be rich, huh? - We ain't rich, but we've got to get out and get to know. Yeah, we gotta get out and keep knowing each other. - Hey, dude, that's a big deal. That's a great point, bro. Dude, I love taking walks. I invited a girl on a walk, not even too long ago. - Yeah. - Yeah, she kind of bailed a day off, but that's life, bro, what you gonna do? You know, so now you just gotta find, you gotta keep, you gotta gotta keep finding somebody who wants to walk, bro. - It's great, it's great. Someday you'll find the one that'll keep walking with you forever. - I got that one, so. - Amen, bro. Amen to that, dude. Well, we don't want to bug your whole jump, man, but I just want to say thank you, bro. It's nice you to call and share that, just that milestone, just that fact that it can happen for people and just sharing about some of the promises that can come true, man. - Yeah. - Did you believe it when you started that it could happen? - No, man, 'cause then I drink for quite a few years, all through my like 20s and into my 30s. And I just kind of figured it's just like, I'm just gonna keep going. drinking and then one morning for me is different than for a lot of folks, I think like I woke up one morning and I was like Man, that's it. I'm done But won't you quit that once you went to meetings of did you believe that it would be done or did you? I mean, it's it was hard, right? I mean, it was really really hard like yeah I it seemed like you know, you'd get 30 days and then you'd get 60 days and you get 90 days It's like man, I'm never gonna have a year and then all of a sudden You blink your eyes and it's five years and you don't even think about the you don't even think about what you're at least for me I don't think about what I'm addicted to anymore. It's just like I'm just like I said I'm just sucking life through the tailpipe, you know, it's just like I'm living it raw and it's just so rewarding And free free feeling whereas before it was like, you know, I mean, I think we have a lot of things in common where it's like My mom wasn't great to me and I was growing up and I was I was running from a lot of different things and Here I am, you know Not running from anything anymore and just becoming a better man every day. So Good. I think it would yeah, no, I didn't but here here it is and this is gonna keep going still.
