Comfort Cat | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #196

and I can't figure out if I should put. my hat on or hat off you ever have that. and women y'all are lucky unless it's a. like a you know kind of a women that do. tennis or a lesbian type of lady that. likes to wear a mint like a hat then you. don't have to regularly decide hat or no. hat hat or no hat a lot of stuff goes.

into that when you're a fella when. you're a man you know when you're an. adult male because it's a matter like. okay dudes my hair do my hair look nice. enough today or do I just hide that [ __ ]. you know just be a a headed actor you. feel me I had a Potamus. you know do you or do you say look I'm a. ride with the with the Lord's drapes.

today and let your hair go you know I'm. gonna do that thing a little I'm gonna. do that dangle and let your hair go and. my look there are days when I feel like. I'm losing hair like I woke up the. morning in the morning I'm down maybe 70. hairs or down maybe 6,800 hair or a. hundred two hundred hairs now I say dang. whoa I'm doing hat today and there's. those days when I wake up and I'm. feeling full like my hair like a like.

maybe my hair had other hair stay. overnight and sleep at the house and so. suddenly my head looks full of hair you. know like it's like a family reunion or. something. four follicles let's get into the. episode. [Music].

I'm just sitting on your front porch. wandering how could I be so far oh and. my mind is somewhere else but when I. found it I'll patch up where it's been. grown now I'm just on the breeze and not.

feeling like these leaves I must be it's. gonna take. a little time for me to set that parking. brake. [Music].

[Music]. [Music]. Wow thank you hello hello everyone I'm.

coming to you it is Monday May 6 in a. year 2001 92019 we're calling it our to. zero one nine for people that just do. individual numbers but still keep time. and this is it this is where we are you. know this is where we are this is where. I am that's what I'm realizing a little. bit today this is where I am you know.

some time and I don't like making a. decision man. this hat thing I couldn't do I go hat do. I go no hat and then I started thinking. at least men we have that option. you got that get out of you got that get. out of a if your hair looks if your hair. is looking a little ugly and I'm where. you got that get out of ugly free card. that hat you put the hat on a hat is.

just a small apartment for your head. once you get inside a hat it's almost. like being indoors a little bit and. that's what I'll I've always enjoyed the. most about a hat is that you put a hat. on and suddenly it's like you're indoors. a little bit it's like you got a little. you know like um you got a little more a. little more between you in the world you. got a little bit of you know I like. being a little bit more comforted I'm.

that comforted cat some cats you see. them up there on the powerlines walking. the powerlines and doing a cigarettes. and um you know maybe they uh they'll. get their tail cornrowed and they're out. there and [ __ ] you know doing dice. and [ __ ] like that and hanging out you. know out in Philadelphia or different. places you know but I'm that comfort cat. I like to have a little bit of a hat on. sometimes you know I like to put you.

know sometimes I'll put a little bit of. cotton in my shirt I'll empty a bag of. cotton into my shirt so people can't see. it out here but I'm comforted I got that. extra go on happening I got that out you. know you know I got that I got that that. fluff inside of me just just I need a. little bit more comfort you know. sometime I used to have a neighbor and. he was a real real big guy and they. called him his name was Wayne but they. called him fat Wayne I didn't call him.

that his dad did actually but and uh I'd. sleep over at his house sometimes and. we'd sleep in his bed we was lay in his. bed you know because he lived there and. he had it and that's where he kept his. bed obviously and we would lay in his. bed and when he fell asleep you couldn't. wake him up. you thought he was dead until he woke up. and he may have been dead he may not. even have actually gone to sleep at. night he may have died and then just.

just risen every morning you know maybe. he just had those religious you know he. just zoned out and then rezone back in. but he would win so and he would fall. asleep it you know you could you could. put things on his back you could do um. you know you could play soldiers on his. back and do little you know the army. coming up over here up over to uh you. know the scapula and the other you know. you could do fighters you know Rambo. versus you know sheera and and you could.

do different stuff like that on his back. you know you could do whatever but I. remember when I would go to when I would. be time for bed I would lay down next to. him and I put his arm over me in his arm. like a tattoo on it or something I. remember what it was let me think about. now what was that it may have been a. couple long but was a snowman or.

something some bacon and his own and I'd. put his arm over me I'd put his arm over. me and then that's how I would sleep you. know I'm just that comfort cat you know. I'm just that comfort cat man I like to. have a little bit of extra I like to. have a little bit I need a little more. support you know I'm the kind of guy. you'll find a training wheel on my back. just one just that one hitter you know. I'm the kind of guy who uh who if I lay.

down next to you already I'll throw your. arm over me you know for a little while. now I you know I'll share I'll do you. for a while to us you know once I get a. little rest I'll wake up and I'll throw. one of my arms over you or to arms. because I got a lean medium arms I got. these medium reaches I can't even if. somebody with really short arms wants to. shake my hand I can't get there you know. other than medium arms but I'll put both.

of them on you so you feel a little bit. of comfort as well because I know what. it feels like you know I know what it. feels like not only do I recognize that. I need comfort but then I have to then. also do the inverse of that I got to. recognize what it feels like if somebody. else needs comfort because I have to. notice that like if there's something. that I that I have a that that I that I.

require then there's going to be. something that somebody else then. there's then I should notice that same. requirement or deficiency and others. immediately you know and that's really. been something that has been brought to. some of the forefront of my life over. the past couple years since I started. trying to get into like 12-step and. learning about things is that. is some of that awareness just realize I. know just how common it is when i have.

an issue that somebody else have it that. i can notice that issue in them and not. accuse them of having it i don't have to. say it but I could recognize man I know. you know I recognize this person they. might I can try to just show them extra. comfort I'll just take a gamble that. they need more comfort but I am that uh. mm-hmm okay all right whose was that. water Jesus I am I can be that comfort. cat thank you guys for being here today.

I did put a hat on for those you listen. over audio. I am happy I'm happy to be here man I'm. gonna put a picture up on Instagram I. can't even tell you some of the nice you. know people always bring nice things to. some of the comedies there's not always. you know for 14 years nobody brought. nobody brought it you think to the. comedy shows but some people brought. some a couple of nice gifts this week. and there's always like not see you know. that's not always but there's sometimes.

and a free travel bag at manscaped calm. and use code Theo but mere Vaart man we. used to do so somebody told me when I. was young you know I remember when I was. a kid somebody told us that if you. there's a little bit grotesque and I'm. sorry to get like this I know it's it. could be morning you're listening if you. fight you know if you did body gasp if. you did gas out of your body out of your. butt then on a mirror that you could see.

it you know that in regular if you just. you know did body gas out under the air. you can't see it you know you could. obviously it has a you know of mostly. violent scent. every now you know every maybe mm body. gasses you'll get one that's really. you're like damn they should you know. make a good candle out of that one. that's you know I'm something you know. things are going well but the other 1999.

attempts at body gas you get something. naughty you know you get that you know. you just get that booty ghost that's out. there that's haunting people's senses. but someone had told us Herman when I. was a kid someone told us so maybe they. just wrote it on the sidewalk with a. knife but that if you you know did body. gas on a mirror if you were sitting on a. mirror or near a mirror like with your.

butt up you know stood in on the sink. with your butt against the mirror and. you did a gas that you could see it then. it would take a you know as if it was a. ghost or something I guess that's how we. thought oh I could see it I could see. what. you know and so that was it man we'd sit. on these mirrors you know we got a. couple mirrors they had a um her old. lady that lived I mean everybody had. this old lady that lived we had an old. little part about two and a blocks away. and her house I think burned down at.

some point I mean that usually happens. with a lot of those older women but. before it happened we'd go over there. and she would give us a you know a. couple dimes or whatever to water the. plants and do this and that you know. look for the cats and I'll tell you this. honestly man um she she all you know she. she only had probably two cats but she. paid us to find about nine cats so we'd. take one of the cats bring it in there.

show it to her she would you know say. its name and pet it then then it would. we'd let it go and say okay we're gonna. find the other one. and then we'd go find the same the you. know they only had two so we find the. other one bring it in and just keep. going back and forth until she thought. she'd seen them all but really it was. just two cats who were psyched you know. we were you know the old the old cat you. know cats which game well so we got you.

know we so next thing you know we showed. her all the cats we got these dimes or. whatever but anyway she had some nice. mirrors so I know we'd be over there and. once you got the cat's out of the way. she we could hang out in her house she. didn't even know we're in there you know. we'd climb on the shelves and you know. look at books or whatever look at little. trinkets and this and that and she had. nice drawers heavy wood and you pull. open a heavy wood drawing you smell. would you know and it was it just had a. different experience you know being over.

there you know all of her stuff felt. kind of old and mysterious bruh you know. felt like you could just open up a can. of peas or a can of carrots at her house. and a and a damn spirit would pop out it. had that kind of that kind of momentum. was just built into the environment well. anyway so I don't know if I can tell um. I went on talking. oh so she had these nice mirrors big.

ones if we could set on the floor take. them off the wall set them on the floor. and you do body you sit on there with. your butt out do body gas and look for. the ghost you know but we never saw. anything you know we never saw I mean. people would lie and say they saw. somebody nobody ever saw anything man. but that reminds me of that mirror of. art and that's at de Mir Vaart in. Amsterdam Netherlands and that's. September 24th and that's that but yeah.

thank everybody so much man I'm. overwhelmed at uh you know the amount of. support people that are gonna come out. and see the show is just you know man it. just really feels like a dream come true. in a lot of ways so thank you thank you. very very much. to everyone and when they came out of. New York City this weekend I mean it was. a wild time I mean Carl Lentz past. popped through the pasture and he's.

gonna come and be a guest at some point. we had a father-son pair that came. through that it you know they drove from. about two hours we have people that. drove from Vermont people that drove. from Delaware people that drove down. from Canada and came in we had a young. man I'll put this thing on my minister I. mean me a beautiful skateboard like. Beyonce you know like that you know and. they had I mean just some really nice.

gifts somebody gave me a Darryl. Strawberry book really cool and then a. taxi because everybody knows I do that. story but let me get into a little bit. of this episode man while I still have. my hat on and while I'm still feeling. you know you know like I'm that comfort. cat Oh a lot of cats in this episode. just realize that yeah man we go to a. lady's house and you know what I wonder. in hindsight maybe she knew that she.

only had two cats. you know maybe she knew maybe we thought. that she didn't have the awareness but. she did and so that way we just got to. spend more time over there and we gave. us something to do maybe she knew we. didn't have much to do you know and she. would do that you know and I remember -. I remember now actually she spent it she. split I split of candidum Frank and I we.

nurse you know he's to have these cans. being and wieners they used to have. these cans called being and wieners and. it was a can of beans and wiener and. they cut up half a wiener in there and. it looked like they cut the Wiener with. a spoon because the edges of the wiener. cut they weren't straight there were. those uh convex them convex cut so you. get that wiener that you know usually. you get a cut of wiener it's you know. it's the the width of the wing and then.

it's that where the cuts are then chops. but on these big. we we need we beam we invaders on these. weening [ __ ] they had um the cut the. the cuts on the wiener were you know. convex or something like you're trying. to see the moon you know through glass. but the well but she would cut open a.

can of those and we'd have them over. there. me and little Daniel be over there. having a man and I'll tell you this. about Daniel man people forget about him. and don't want to think about him knew. Daniel was up to no good man most of the. time but I'll say this a lot of times. they had rumors going around this is. back when rumors was really the most. popular way to know about stuff and. these days thanks to all the you know.

mainstream media being a bunch of dog. [ __ ] it's welcome back rumors so the UM. you know Daniel would get in there and. he uh he would eat the wing he'd you. know he'd always steal a chunk of my. wing. out of the UH out of my being wieners. you know and and and in hindsight I. remember a couple times he got sick. because he he stole that chunk see.

there's just two sides this there's two. sides to everything you know he stole. that chunk and he got sick and I didn't. get sick because I would just wait to. see how he did how he fared after that. chunk of Frank and then I would just. being around them if he look like he was. getting real sweaty halfway into his own. bowl I say damn I'm but you know you. know you know you've heard of Frank. Sinatra well I'm saying sayonara Frank's. because I'm saying bye-bye to these.

Frank chunks to these you know wean. these wean cuts and I wouldn't have him. because look Daniel be over there. sweating dude and when he sweat is shirt. he he had this like uh I guess his shirt. where he had maybe one of those. constricting shirts so when he got real. sweaty his shirt would get even smaller. but let's get into a couple of calls man. those European dates are out thank you. know so much um a lot of people have. called in last week I was talking about. you know father-son relationship and uh.

man I got so many nice responses and. messages and you just wanted to say. thank you just thanks for you know just. thanks for not judging me while I think. about stuff you know I appreciate that. like you know that's why I'm like. sometimes it's hard to be in this world. I think for a lot of us because we. created an environment we didn't the. dark arts created an environment where.

we can't even think or feel or share. sometimes without being judged you know. and I'm not saying that I don't do that. sometimes we all do it but I'll be. damned if some if there's people out. there making a business out of it man it. makes me mad so but maybe inadvertently. I do you know like I we never know what.

we do sometimes until we figure it out. but but I just want to say I get a lot. of nice just people that can relate. people that are sharing their own. stories with me and it just makes me. feel and then when I hear somebody. else's story or they're sharing. something man it makes me feel like a. human because it makes me feel wow you. know I have feelings I care about what. this person saying I have feelings man. it reminds me it reminds me that I have. feelings because of feelings man that's.

you know the sugar lizard goes for. whatever but whatever that other animal. is that feeling animal he's more like a. sloth you know he's cz you know he's. around the surface man but he gets. scared to kind of peek around sometime. maybe he is like a cat. maybe that feeling line or that feline.

that feel line yeah that's what it is. man so if I don't go with that sugar. lizard then I can gaga I can be patient. and I can have a little bit of that. feline feel what choice I make not just. not just that sugar lizard get whatever. what is that a snicker titty whatever. you got to be where that sugar lizard. that first thing and that's who all. these advertisers and all these you know. all those Bulls outs are they selling -. they selling of that sugar lizard oh you. got a dime let me set that right over. there what's that a Twinkie.

was that a nipple was that a fake uh you. know uh fake net you know if neck. installment or whatever fake titty they. sell you all of that set it right there. that's what you need get that let that. sugar lizard bites whatever first thing. out there. you when you when you let that when you. wedges wait don't shoot don't don't. don't sugar you can sugar you can feel. the sugar don't lizard.

don't let that [ __ ] a little reptile. rep don't let them rep you I wait back I. try and way back let that feel line what. do I feel what do I really need to do. for me right now to be okay would one. really need to do right now to be okay. to really be okay in that feel I'm and I.

notice whenever you know people come up. and are except in and you know share. night or just you know I'm just grateful. to have an environment here where we can. share stuff and not feel judged and. maybe there are people out there to. judge and sometimes look man I'll be the. first to tell you sometimes I'm a real. Posse you know sometimes I'm Way too. caught up in my feelings and I can't get. out of it you knowing that look that's. where I am right now but I also you know. I mean I try to I try to be out there.

and get past some of this stuff and I. feel a lot better than I used to you. know I got a lot more tools but every. now and then your feelings flare up and. that's okay I mean some time we go. through episodes won't even talk about. anything like that but uh but I just. want to say I'm grateful to have that. sort of environment here where people. don't always just sugarless at all look. at this love yeah they're talking about. us failing to God.

because I think we have a world that. don't let us feel enough that don't let. us explore enough you know that don't. let us just be brave to share and to say. you know and we don't do that here you. know we don't I mean I hear this in a. lot of different rooms but we don't hear. we don't we don't we don't kill our. wounded this ain't Hollywood whatever I. don't know what I'm talking about now. I'm just getting weird okay let's get. into a couple of calls man thank you.

guys so much for the calls thank you. guys so much for hitting the hotline as. always nine eight five six six four nine. five zero three a lot of cities have new. tickets that one on sale for the regular. shows so you could check your city. I think Vancouver has a new show now on. Wednesday night up there Austin we added. a show I believe Sacramento we added a. show so there's other shows in the in. the u.s. that have new ones so thank you. so much for your support.

and I want to thank actually right now. you know all our patreon errs sorry I. feel like I'm talking too much. someone let us get kind of going and I. feel like I'm talking too much sometimes. you know the people that support our. patreon or that's how we are able to do. nice things for the single moms and get. that cash where we hide the you know we. hide money in the hotel room for the. cleaning ladies and and those things are. on the YouTube but that's what our.

patreon goes to you know our patreon. isn't really big a lot of people run. their whole you know podcast off their. patreon we don't do that here you know. and not that and that's okay no shade on. anybody's uh but how we find things to. do you know outreach and stuff is. through our patreon and I just want to. say that we are going to reach out to. all the single moms that we have that. we've brought out to shows over the past.

year year and a half and we're going to. send all of them some flowers so I just. thought of that but. but we're gonna do that so that's. something our patrons gonna do so if you. are a patreon supporter just know that. already this weekend you bought flowers. for about twelve different single moms. around America and in the cards they. don't say that this from me to said this. from us and so I hope you feel good. about that because I do you know I do.

you know it's thinking the other day. that when we look at our mother and I've. been on my mind a lot when we look at. our mom when if you or if you're raised. by a single parent as a child you look. at that parent and you hold them. accountable for motherly stuff oh and. fatherly stuff you don't even realize it. because you need it all you need it all. as a child and we hold that we hold our. mom accountable for fatherly ways and. not only that but then the mother also.

has to be a father and it gets really. jumbly man for me it did anyway you know. I'm sorry for me it got jumbly and only. now am I able to kind of look through. some of that and and start to be able to. sort it out and wonder well why do i why. this and why that you know him I hold my. mother accountable for things that that. a father should have been there for him. I hold my father for things that a. mother should have been there for and.

not even knowing not even realizing it. but Mother's Day is a great opportunity. to reconnect with somebody that you care. about so from our talk from me to all. the single moms out there we love you. guys and thank you for all the hard work. that you do and we know it's not easy. sometimes you know I can only imagine if. your husband or something whoever who. created this child with you left you and. men to you know if whoever created that. child with you left and left you to care.

about them man there's got to be a an. anger there and angst you know that man. they didn't even care about it enough. about you to stay in this they didn't. care enough about the child to really. stay in it or to help and then you have. to be even stronger and not tell the kid. that you can't you can't bat you can't. really bastardize. that other parent because it's so I'm. sure just a lot of levels going on I'm. not in that space but I can only imagine.

what it's like you know but man what a. beautiful job what else oh so I got a. couple patreon questions that came in so. these are Victor s Johnson ii asked in a. previous episode you mentioned you don't. feel a sense of community out in los. angeles has that changed at all you know.

what. since podcasting it has changed i've. kind of built my own community a little. bit or not we've built a community and. also since I got into 12-step programs. since I got into that sort of thing for. me I have much more of a sense of. community. I have people every day now that I can. call and reach out to that are reaching. out to me you know I have meetings that. I go to or I meet up with others so. there has been a sense of community. there at the Comedy Store that's become.

a sense of community it's just taking a. lot longer to find and I do think also. that uh la to me just feels more and. more like an airport it feels like like. an International Airport even all the. way from when you leave when you leave. the airport at LAX it still feels like. an airport like the whole time I'm here. whether I'm at home that work wherever. it all feels like a big extension of the.

airport so you know that feeling you. have when you're in an airport you know. you're sick people are passing you're. seeing them here oh yeah let's do this. let's say and then it but everybody's. just taking off everybody's coming back. or taking that's what la always feels. like to me everywhere so I think within. that space that's hard to have a sense. of community when there's just so much. motion going on but I'm grateful you. know guy I got guys like Brendan Schaub. I got producer Nick you know I got.

little Johnny who's uh you know the. you know the movie star twink he's you. know we just got you know there's a. group that I have yeah so it's gotten. better that's the short answer but thank. you for the question that's from our. patreon supporter victor johnson let me. see what else on helper des said your. comedy is always so creatively.

descriptive have you ever written any. short stories or things that aren't. comedy yeah yeah i have you know you. know try to get some books published. over the years I haven't tried in a. while. just about growing up you know one. fiction one nonfiction one just like. growing up and just how fear kind of ran. a lot of my life and just how you know. the first memories I have are just of.

being afraid of stuff you know I. remember my father was you know. obviously I'm not gonna say again how. old my father was always say it but one. of my first memories was I remember. walking I woke up at night and I walked. into this other room in our house and my. sister was real sick you know she was. born with her rare disease and she. needed a transplant and my father was. like rocking her in this rocking chair. and he was crying and he was real sad. you know and uh and I knew that my.

sister was sick and I saw him crying and. it just like you know I don't know it. just made me real scared. it made me scared out of the beginning. but yeah I've written some stuff about. that I've written some funny stories and. I think as I get a little bit more. settled after I get done tour in next. year I'm gonna try to focus a little bit. more on getting back to some writing. creating some fun stuff that's not. touring as much because this touring. takes a lot out of me right now and then.

one more from fade divorce shack what. books or movies have had an impact on. the way you think about things what was. going on in your life at the time that. you read or saw them and how do they. change your thinking oh wow I don't know. about some of that as deep. what books or movies you know I like. that movie on Bridges of Madison County. you know there's just a moment of choice. in there a moment of love a moment of. comfort you know it just shows how. people's lives can interact and they're. not really you know how every decision.

you make isn't so well it just shows. that you can get love in different. places and that there's different levels. to love and different parts of love some. love you get from here and some love you. get from there so I liked that movie. Bridges of Madison County and it's about. bridges and man bridges you know because. think about this before bridge is what. people had to try and jump over. something so if you wanted to get a.

message to somebody across the whatever. water you know or whatever dragon area. you had to [ __ ] get a buddy feed him. a bunch of steaks and everything train. him you know get him a rose or a couple. rosaries you know tell him he was gonna. make it and then send him out there.

running and the dragon got him you know. I'm saying so bridges or everything. bridges are really because before that. you had to get wet or get eaten or get. burnt. I mean bridges name you know name 11. other things that are better than that.

over time maybe and you know and. everybody did a bridge that wasn't a. just a no Benjamin Franklin hogging all. the you know oh be Frankie hogging all. the damn. inventions everybody did a bridge been. so sorry I don't certainly got upset. about that but that's [ __ ] kind of you. know a lot of times all these old people. that is put you know you know Einstein.

[ __ ] who else what's that guy's name. mizerock Steve misery. yeah all these people say they invented. everything Thomas Jefferson TJ and oh. yeah you guys did it all but no. everybody did bridges but I love to get. more deeper into that one another time. favorite thank you for that question.

about you know what things were going on. in your life at the time you read or saw. them. I don't remember that's you know my. brain doesn't work like that my memory. is not that strong in that sense but. thank you for your support and that is. definite one of my favorite movies and. books and now that Bridges of Madison. County that's word for word book moving. from movie and the Patriot as always he. knows one of my favorite movies ever and. probably always will be aim small miss. small I can't solve a big problem but I. could solve this little small one and.

that'll give me the next little small. gang gang man let's get you a couple of. calls that came in because I'm about to. go get lunch on word hold on okay gang. gang with socio gang gang brother. homework man I love you bro since your. uh your show in New York City you did a.

really great job made my birthday really. special you know well thank you man I. appreciate that yeah that Club I don't. think that they did a good job they. tried to hurry the VIP you know the meet. and greets and hurry it up at the end of. the show they were flashing the lights. on us you know I don't know up him and. hopefully everybody's experience was. great but you know the guy they it. definitely was in you know it was.

I hope you guys his experience was good. I'll just leave it at that because yeah. they're just the music just things that. you know or basic things it didn't seem. like they cared that much about the. people coming to the shows but it's a. Time Square business down there in Times. Square and it's just you know they're. just running people it felt like a diner. where they did comedy yet but um but I. appreciate everybody that came let's.

hear more man sorry I was being a little. negative I met you after the show you. told me that uh you know you might have. realized the secret hitters but uh it's. all right man you know there's another. day another dollar and we're out here. and you know I was good for three months. no cigarettes and then I recently also. started again but you know we'll put. some hitters you know and you just got. to try again and try again until you. know they say the success gets better. the more times you do in the longer days. that you've you know been often things.

once again I appreciate it oh yeah I've. been Monday's podcast yeah thanks man. yeah I got back on them cigarettes about. a week ago and so some of it is I'll. just get so tired and just so exhausted. it's like I just don't have anything I. can't sleep. Saturday night I couldn't sleep I was up. all night dude I never been up all night. since I was I don't even know since I. probably had colic or something as a. child or if there was a snake in the. room I could never sleep if there was a.

snake in the room but uh but yes I've. been back on them ribs man gang home. word remember last Monday's podcast I. wanted to ask you you know like you're. talking about your dad and stuff and. your feelings you know there's a. relationship there I mean do you think. you'd be a different comedian if you had. if you were a father yourself you know. that's a good question would I be a. different comedian if I were a father. myself you know it's funny sometimes I.

think I'm afraid to get into a family. and that sort of thing because it'll. change the way that I see the world a. little bit and I'll just want to make. sure I get everything out of the way I. see the world right now. or yeah are well have anything to joke. about them will I just be something you. know such a Nemo Nemo I'll turn into a. damn emo sharp you know and then I'll. just be you notice holding my son just. crying I'm like the bank of a river all.

the time like you know I just so I start. to wonder like yeah I just I don't know. it's like I'm I'm kind of at a little. bit at a place from comfortable you know. I'm that comfort cat and so I don't know. if ha you know it gets scary for me to. think oh well if I have a family am I. still gonna be able to be okay. because I don't want to damage them. either you know I don't want to damage. you know I don't want to you know I.

don't want to mess up you know I don't. want to mess up some little kid's life. or you know shoot I don't want to create. single moms. that's not trying to do so but that's a. good question man I appreciate you. calling man as always the hot law in. ninety five six six four nine five zero. three let's take another call here hey. oh this is Christie from at last hey. Chrissy from Atlanta thank you for. calling I appreciate you calling from. that ATL I heard your podcast about how.

you felt like you used to be maybe. ashamed of your father and I wanted to. say you know my dad was never really a. fancy guy in Atlanta everyone's that go. to golf clubs all the time oh yeah they. got a lot of fancy people over there I. know who you're talking about. I know exactly what you're talking about. the fancy home word everyone's dads are. buying new cars and that's just kind of. how dads are here my dad's from Ecuador.

so he is always just he does not care at. all what he what he looks like or. anything but it really for me I felt. like it made me more of a proud person. and like realize what happiness was much. more because instead of golfing and. buying cars my dad was like building. bombs and blowing them up in the. backyard making kayaks out of wood you. know collecting abandoned TVs and you.

like using the screens to make flyers in. the back you know just doing a wizardry. it sound like you took my some real. wizardry but no I know you're talking. about it's like you got to see more of a. creative type of dad instead of you know. a lot of times and this does happen in a. lot with a lot of tradition in different. communities I find that people just live. into these streams of tradition and they. don't create their own kind of canals of. creativity a lot of times it sounds like.

your father was definitely doing you. know we're doing a little bit more. creativity in creativity you get to see. who someone is you get to see some of. the colors of them oh we're doing cool. stuff and for me that that was actually. a better way to grow up and so I'm like. I'm grateful for that you know but. thanks yeah. well it sounds like yeah it sounds like. you got to have a unique experience with. your dad.

yeah it's um it's so weird to it's like. you know we just don't realize some. stuff when were young and sometimes we. realize it later you know we don't know. and that's life isn't it man it's like. you played a lot of the game and then. like years later you kind of get to. watch the game back and review how it. went and it's always feels like that. it's so hard to get to get I don't know.

it's so hard to get where you're we're. who you are and the way you feel about. life matches up in real time with what's. going on and maybe some of that just. comes with time and age let's take. another call here thank you for that. call young lady I said math and rodeo.

what's up REE dude rodeo I've been. thinking about rodeo that's crazy that. you called man I've been thinking. the rodeo boy I like going to the rodeo. seeing those Wranglers seeing that hat. seeing him buckle see them yeah them. steeds arriving bucking horses saddle. bronc riding horses hell yeah dude. saddle broncs amazing it's like heaven.
