Riff, as they say.
00:00:53.929 --> 00:00:54.810
That is what they say.
00:00:54.969 --> 00:00:56.170
I don't know if that's what they say or not.
00:00:56.329 --> 00:00:58.649
I don't know who they are, but that's what they say.
00:01:12.409 --> 00:01:15.210
What's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, what's up, everybody.

Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Almost Brothers Podcast.
00:01:18.890 --> 00:01:20.569
Man, man, man, man, man, man.
00:01:21.289 --> 00:01:22.409
We still don't have that button.
00:01:22.569 --> 00:01:23.930
No, we don't.
00:01:24.329 --> 00:01:25.530
I am that button.
00:01:25.769 --> 00:01:26.810
I am Batman.
00:01:26.969 --> 00:01:28.009
I am the law.
00:01:29.530 --> 00:01:30.650
Two different movies in five seconds.
00:01:30.890 --> 00:01:34.250
I was running around the house saying that a while ago while I was sweeping.
00:01:34.490 --> 00:01:35.129
I don't know.
00:01:35.210 --> 00:01:35.849
It's weird.
00:01:36.329 --> 00:01:38.009
Uh so how you doing, man?
00:01:38.170 --> 00:01:38.810
I'm fantastic.
00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:39.530
Richie Rich.
00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:40.490
No Zeke today.
00:01:40.569 --> 00:01:41.609
He's hanging out with his buddies.
00:01:41.769 --> 00:01:41.930
Yeah.
00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:42.890
Had a good day today.
00:01:43.049 --> 00:01:43.289
Yeah.
00:01:43.370 --> 00:01:43.530
Yeah.
00:01:43.689 --> 00:01:44.810
That's what's up, man.
00:01:44.969 --> 00:01:45.689
That's what's up.
00:01:45.769 --> 00:01:53.450
Well, on today's episode, we're going to talk about how to bottle up your anticipation for something.
00:01:54.489 --> 00:01:56.969
And not get too crazy.
00:01:57.370 --> 00:02:00.090
No, that's exactly why I wanted to talk about it.
00:02:00.409 --> 00:02:09.370
How to, so as we're we're going into the holiday season, we're going into Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas and all this stuff.
00:02:09.689 --> 00:02:10.409
And I already know.
00:02:10.730 --> 00:02:11.289
I already know.
00:02:11.530 --> 00:02:12.730
I already know.
00:02:12.969 --> 00:02:14.090
I already know.
00:02:15.449 --> 00:02:18.090
I already know where this conversation is going.
00:02:18.810 --> 00:02:20.250
Well, since you brought it up.
00:02:20.569 --> 00:02:21.530
I didn't bring it up.
00:02:21.610 --> 00:02:23.050
I just know where it's going.
00:02:23.289 --> 00:02:34.090
Um it is a well-documented fact that the Randalls cannot wait until Christmas to do Christmas.
00:02:34.250 --> 00:02:41.769
Well, matter of fact, you can't even wait until double digits in December to do Christmas.
00:02:42.009 --> 00:02:42.810
We did last year.
00:02:42.969 --> 00:02:43.289
Did you?
00:02:43.449 --> 00:02:44.329
What'd you make it to?
00:02:44.490 --> 00:02:45.370
I don't remember.
00:02:45.689 --> 00:02:47.530
But it was in it was well into December.
00:02:47.689 --> 00:02:51.289
I don't remember, but I know it's it's accurate.
00:02:51.449 --> 00:02:52.009
Hmm.
00:02:52.250 --> 00:02:53.050
No, I don't remember.
00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:59.050
But yeah, and but this year we haven't bought a single present yet, so it might be January.
00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:02.490
No, because y'all will buy it and hand it out the day of.
00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:06.250
Uh how how early do you do Christmas tree?
00:03:06.330 --> 00:03:08.490
How early do you feel like is an okay time?
00:03:08.729 --> 00:03:11.370
I am currently fighting with my wife now.
00:03:11.770 --> 00:03:12.169
Really?
00:03:12.330 --> 00:03:12.650
Yeah.
00:03:12.889 --> 00:03:17.129
See, I know I know I know most people do it November 1st.
00:03:17.289 --> 00:03:17.530
Yeah.
00:03:17.689 --> 00:03:22.729
You know, so and I I mean, I would like to wait till after Thanksgiving.
00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:23.210
Yeah.
00:03:23.530 --> 00:03:25.289
But I never win that argument.
00:03:25.370 --> 00:03:28.090
So that's all that's what we do the day after Thanksgiving.
00:03:28.169 --> 00:03:28.250
Yeah.
00:03:28.409 --> 00:03:29.530
We eat leftovers and we put up.
00:03:29.930 --> 00:03:31.609
It'll be up this weekend, I'm sure.
00:03:31.849 --> 00:03:32.490
I have no doubt.
00:03:32.810 --> 00:03:33.050
Wow.
00:03:33.129 --> 00:03:33.289
Yeah.
00:03:33.449 --> 00:03:34.810
That's super early.
00:03:34.969 --> 00:03:35.609
Yeah.
00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:37.129
But I don't know where to put it.
00:03:37.289 --> 00:03:37.609
So.
00:03:37.930 --> 00:03:38.569
Yeah.
00:03:39.609 --> 00:03:40.090
Yeah.
00:03:40.330 --> 00:03:54.889
So um, yeah, because I was thinking about this today, just how you you get excited for something, and sometimes you get too excited to where the actual doing it doesn't live up because you've been so pumped up about it.
00:03:55.129 --> 00:03:57.770
Well, and that happens with with a lot of things, you know.
00:03:57.849 --> 00:04:00.650
You you're looking at a vacation or or something like that.
00:04:00.729 --> 00:04:02.729
It's like, man, it's gonna be amazing.
00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:06.090
And then you build it up in your mind, and you get there, and it's like this kind of sucks.
00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:20.009
Yeah, it's like, oh it's cool, but not as and and I wonder how many times we kind of shoot ourselves in the foot doing that and and not managing expectations, and you get too overly well, and that's you know, we're moving in January.
00:04:20.090 --> 00:04:23.930
Yeah, so our our Christmas will probably be overshadowed by that a little bit.
00:04:24.009 --> 00:04:27.689
Yeah, but it's the same thing, you know, we're building anticipation.

00:04:27.850 --> 00:04:31.129
We've just bought a house in Rector, and you know, we're gonna be moving here.
00:04:31.370 --> 00:04:37.769
So we're trying to keep our expectations to a minimum, yeah, as far as because we know it's gonna take time.
00:04:37.850 --> 00:04:43.689
Yeah, you know, it's kind of a fixer-up or house, so it's it's going to take time to get everything the way we want it.
00:04:43.769 --> 00:04:44.169
Yeah.
00:04:44.409 --> 00:04:46.569
So we're just trying to manage our expectations on that.
00:04:46.649 --> 00:04:46.970
Yeah.
00:04:47.210 --> 00:04:52.009
And I think that's the main thing about any of that is is managing your expectations.
00:04:52.490 --> 00:04:58.490
You know, it's it's having realistic thought processes of what something's gonna look like.
00:04:58.730 --> 00:05:00.169
Man, that's with everything, you know.
00:05:00.250 --> 00:05:03.210
It's like, oh, we're getting married, like awesome.
00:05:03.690 --> 00:05:09.929
But understand it's gonna take some work, you know, it's gonna take some time and some growth and all this, all this.
00:05:10.009 --> 00:05:15.529
But yeah, that's where we're at, is is we're a couple weeks away from our family vacation.
00:05:15.610 --> 00:05:20.409
We didn't get to do anything over the summer, so we're kind of taking a late fam family vacation this year.
00:05:20.490 --> 00:05:26.570
But um, we were kind of planning and talking today, and it's like, man, I get so excited this time of year.
00:05:26.649 --> 00:05:28.490
Yeah, especially now you add that on.
00:05:28.570 --> 00:05:31.769
So now we've got that coming up and Thanksgiving, all these big things.
00:05:31.929 --> 00:05:48.409
So it's like, man, how do you how do you prepare for it, but also don't get too crazy excited and get because I I feel like you know, in in y'all's instance where we talk about like presents ahead of time, I think that's the thing, is it gets so hyped up and you're so excited, it's like, why don't we just do it today?
00:05:48.570 --> 00:05:48.730
Right.
00:05:48.809 --> 00:05:50.330
It's like it's November the fourth.
00:05:50.649 --> 00:05:51.529
Like, what do you mean?
00:05:51.690 --> 00:05:55.850
Like and it that it really does come with a letdown come Christmas time.
00:05:56.169 --> 00:05:56.570
Right, right.
00:05:56.730 --> 00:06:02.090
You know, it's like everybody else is talking about what they got for Christmas, and it's like, well, well, we talked about that at Friendsgiving.
00:06:02.169 --> 00:06:03.289
So yeah, yeah.
00:06:03.529 --> 00:06:05.529
Yeah, like, oh man, okay.
00:06:05.690 --> 00:06:17.769
Uh and then it all you you almost feel like for for for me, what I think is is I would be, oh, we do Christmas on whatever day, and then Christmas comes up, you're like, you know what?
00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:21.049
Let's buy some more presents so we have something to do on Christmas.
00:06:21.129 --> 00:06:22.570
So now you've doubled right.
00:06:22.809 --> 00:06:31.289
Well, and really what I wanted to do this year was to kind of forego Christmas until tax time, yeah, and we get a healthy refund.
00:06:31.610 --> 00:06:36.649
So I was like, we'll just take the kids on a trip next summer, yeah, and and that'll be our Christmas.
00:06:36.809 --> 00:06:39.929
But I was very quickly vetoed on that, on that plan.
00:06:41.450 --> 00:06:42.009
Yeah, yeah.
00:06:42.090 --> 00:06:50.970
What what is if you were to say one thing that you're most excited for throughout your year, just your calendar year, what would it be?
00:06:52.409 --> 00:06:55.850
And I've got mine, I can say mine and give you a second to kind of think a little bit.
00:06:56.090 --> 00:06:56.570
That's fine, go ahead.
00:06:56.809 --> 00:06:59.049
Mine is is is uh Techtober.
00:07:00.250 --> 00:07:00.809
Techtober.
00:07:02.090 --> 00:07:05.210
It it is, it is.
00:07:05.929 --> 00:07:08.889
Um it is in October.
00:07:09.129 --> 00:07:10.330
So September, October.
00:07:10.409 --> 00:07:14.889
September is when everything gets announced and everything's going on, and then October is when everything drops.
00:07:15.049 --> 00:07:18.090
Yeah, and this is my early Christmas.
00:07:18.250 --> 00:07:18.649
I got you.
00:07:18.809 --> 00:07:20.330
I get so so pumped for it.
00:07:20.490 --> 00:07:21.610
That is a cool new iPhone.
00:07:21.769 --> 00:07:22.330
Yeah, thank God.
00:07:23.129 --> 00:07:23.690
I'm excited, dude.
00:07:23.929 --> 00:07:24.570
It's pretty awesome.
00:07:25.289 --> 00:07:26.250
But yeah, I would say.
00:07:29.049 --> 00:07:30.009
You know, of course, Christmas.
00:07:33.210 --> 00:07:35.370
That's that's that's accurate, I guess.
00:07:35.450 --> 00:07:36.090
Yeah.
00:07:37.370 --> 00:07:39.450
So I have I have two different ones.
00:07:39.610 --> 00:07:42.169
So I have one that's family and one's church.
00:07:42.409 --> 00:07:43.529
Yeah, okay.
00:07:43.929 --> 00:07:48.169
Uh, it is not the chili cook-off that I just won People's Choice Award for.
00:07:48.490 --> 00:07:50.649
Yeah, you didn't, yeah.
00:07:50.889 --> 00:07:56.409
You didn't win the judges, the one that that, you know, but the yep, People's Choice Award winner.
00:07:56.490 --> 00:07:56.970
You're right.
00:07:57.210 --> 00:07:58.090
Yeah, okay.
00:07:58.330 --> 00:08:02.090
But uh, no, it's uh family is probably Christmas.
00:08:02.169 --> 00:08:04.090
I I love I love everything about Christmas.
00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:08.169
I love I have village pieces that I put out that I really enjoy.
00:08:08.250 --> 00:08:10.409
You know, it's a miniatures because that's what that's my thing.
00:08:10.570 --> 00:08:13.610
Yeah, I don't know why it's my thing, it's a weird thing, but anyway.
00:08:13.850 --> 00:08:17.690
So I put my village up and I I really enjoy giving gifts.
00:08:17.769 --> 00:08:19.370
I could care less about getting anything.
00:08:19.610 --> 00:08:20.490
That's how I am.
00:08:20.809 --> 00:08:24.409
And uh for church, it's it's quickly becoming
summit, dude.
00:08:24.490 --> 00:08:27.370
Yeah, I really enjoy Summit.
00:08:27.529 --> 00:08:38.889
It's a it's a really good time to to connect with other churches and and in our association and then just really dig into some stuff that that that we need to improve throughout the year.
00:08:38.970 --> 00:08:40.649
So yeah, it's it's awesome, man.
00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:45.929
Yeah, yeah, because I mean summer, there's hardly anything that I look forward to.
00:08:46.090 --> 00:08:49.049
Yeah, you know, staying in the air conditioning, that's what I look forward to.
00:08:49.450 --> 00:08:49.690
Right.
00:08:49.769 --> 00:08:54.090
Yeah, October through January is my favorite time of the year, so it's there's a bunch of stuff.
00:08:54.169 --> 00:09:02.649
But um, yeah, I'd I'd definitely say just kind of the big Apple events are my big But you like Halloween, like you're a big Halloween guy.
00:09:03.049 --> 00:09:04.250
Absolutely not, yeah.
00:09:04.409 --> 00:09:11.210
So I I'm so excited this year being kind of on one of the busier streets, watching the kids out and having fun and enjoying.
00:09:11.290 --> 00:09:16.410
I know uh Zeke and some of the basketball players are talking about walking around together and doing stuff like that.
00:09:16.570 --> 00:09:23.610
So I I like I like pretty much anything that a town comes together for and does something, you know.
00:09:23.690 --> 00:09:24.490
I think that's pretty cool.
00:09:24.649 --> 00:09:29.210
I saw that Friday night the city rector is playing Halloween downtown.
00:09:29.370 --> 00:09:29.930
That's pretty cool.
00:09:30.810 --> 00:09:33.529
Yeah, they get like a screen, yeah, yeah, and all that.
00:09:33.850 --> 00:09:34.090
Of course.
00:09:34.649 --> 00:09:39.610
We'll be at uh Shadrax, but worship night, baby.
00:09:39.690 --> 00:09:40.889
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be good.
00:09:40.970 --> 00:09:41.610
Yeah.
00:09:41.850 --> 00:09:44.649
And then like it used to be there for a while.
00:09:44.810 --> 00:09:50.810
It was um every December for like four years straight, a Star Wars came out.
00:09:51.050 --> 00:09:51.529
Oh, yeah.
00:09:51.690 --> 00:09:52.889
You know, a new movie.
00:09:53.050 --> 00:10:02.170
So uh that was uh a kind of even though I didn't like them very much, didn't like the the new um the new trilogy, I was a big fan of.
00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:05.370
Yeah, but I loved that every December those were coming out.
00:10:05.450 --> 00:10:07.690
So that was that was something I was really excited about.
00:10:09.529 --> 00:10:15.210
And like when when when I'm excited for movies, like I'm buying t-shirts, I'm I'm getting ready, I'm buying the popcorn buckets.
00:10:15.290 --> 00:10:17.050
Like I try to gotta go see Street Fighter.
00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:18.250
Yeah, I yeah, I watched it.
00:10:18.410 --> 00:10:19.610
It was full of nostalgia.
00:10:19.769 --> 00:10:22.490
Street Fighter and Clayface just came out.
00:10:22.730 --> 00:10:23.050
What?
00:10:23.210 --> 00:10:25.129
Clayface, Batman or Instinct.
00:10:26.090 --> 00:10:27.050
No, Batman.
00:10:27.450 --> 00:10:28.889
I saw the preview for it, yeah.
00:10:29.050 --> 00:10:33.050
I didn't even know he was a villain, so I thought that would look like a cool trailer, though.
00:10:33.370 --> 00:10:36.009
Did you never watch uh Batman the Animated Series?
00:10:36.170 --> 00:10:36.570
Uh-uh.
00:10:36.730 --> 00:10:37.050
No.
00:10:37.210 --> 00:10:37.450
Okay.
00:10:37.690 --> 00:10:39.129
Mark Hamill did the Batman for that, right?
00:10:39.290 --> 00:10:39.610
No, he was.
00:10:39.690 --> 00:10:40.330
He did, Joker.
00:10:40.649 --> 00:10:41.129
Yeah.
00:10:41.370 --> 00:10:41.690
Yeah.
00:10:41.850 --> 00:10:42.170
Yeah.
00:10:42.250 --> 00:10:43.610
No, I didn't ever watch that.
00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:44.410
It's good stuff, man.
00:10:44.649 --> 00:10:46.410
Because it's cartoon growing up.
00:10:46.730 --> 00:10:47.129
Yeah.
00:10:47.370 --> 00:10:51.450
Yeah, but it came out when you well, it came out when I was a kid.
00:10:51.930 --> 00:10:52.250
What?
00:10:52.649 --> 00:10:54.730
But you you watched like X-Men though, didn't you?
00:10:54.889 --> 00:10:55.210
Oh, yeah.
00:10:55.290 --> 00:10:55.450
Yeah.
00:10:55.610 --> 00:10:55.769
Yeah.
00:10:56.490 --> 00:10:57.290
1992.
00:10:57.450 --> 00:10:57.769
Yeah.
00:10:57.930 --> 00:10:58.250
Yeah.
00:10:58.490 --> 00:10:58.649
Okay.
00:10:59.930 --> 00:11:00.250
Okay.
00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:02.009
Favorite cartoon growing up.
00:11:02.250 --> 00:11:03.129
Oh Lord.
00:11:03.769 --> 00:11:05.050
X-Men was right up there.
00:11:05.210 --> 00:11:07.690
Ninja Turtles was probably my go-to.
00:11:08.009 --> 00:11:12.649
I loved uh loved uh some Ninja Turtles.
00:11:12.730 --> 00:11:15.370
I remember when the first movie came out, I went to the theater and saw it.
00:11:15.610 --> 00:11:16.889
I lost my crap.
00:11:16.970 --> 00:11:17.290
Yep.
00:11:17.610 --> 00:11:18.810
Because I was a huge fan.
00:11:18.889 --> 00:11:20.570
So and they did it justice, you know.
00:11:20.810 --> 00:11:22.730
Mine was Transformers, Ninja Turtles.
00:11:22.810 --> 00:11:23.450
Those were my type.
00:11:23.850 --> 00:11:24.410
I like G.I.
00:11:24.490 --> 00:11:24.730
Joe.
00:11:24.889 --> 00:11:25.129
Yeah.
00:11:25.210 --> 00:11:27.529
You know, see, that was a yeah, that was a little before.
00:11:27.769 --> 00:11:28.170
Yeah.
00:11:28.730 --> 00:11:32.009
There's about 10 years between us, so there's some stuff that I got.
00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:33.610
New Kids on the Block.
00:11:33.690 --> 00:11:39.050
If I can remember right, I I believe New Kids on the Block had a they did have a cartoon for a minute.
00:11:39.129 --> 00:11:39.290
Yeah.
00:11:39.529 --> 00:11:41.129
And that was that was a big one for me.
00:11:41.370 --> 00:11:43.690
My sister liked Jim.
00:11:44.009 --> 00:11:44.970
You remember that one?
00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:45.850
It sounds good.
00:11:46.170 --> 00:11:48.730
She was like a pop
star superhero.
00:11:49.529 --> 00:11:50.090
Yep, yep, yep.
00:11:50.170 --> 00:11:50.649
Okay, yep.
00:11:50.889 --> 00:11:51.610
My sister did.
00:11:51.769 --> 00:11:52.250
Yeah.
00:11:52.570 --> 00:11:56.250
So I didn't watch it, but right, right, right, right, right, right.
00:11:56.330 --> 00:11:57.450
Totally, totally, totally.
00:11:57.769 --> 00:11:59.610
I definitely don't know the theme stone.
00:11:59.850 --> 00:12:02.330
I was about to say, you remember everything about it.
00:12:02.570 --> 00:12:05.610
My sister watched this show, and let me tell you what happened on this episode.
00:12:06.090 --> 00:12:07.529
And I didn't like Care Bears either.
00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:08.810
So you yeah, right.
00:12:09.210 --> 00:12:11.690
And we're not going to talk about the Care Bear stare.
00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:16.170
Um so you said Ninja Turtle's favorite Ninja Turtle.
00:12:16.410 --> 00:12:17.050
Oh Lord.
00:12:17.290 --> 00:12:18.649
Uh Leonardo.
00:12:18.810 --> 00:12:19.050
Yeah.
00:12:19.290 --> 00:12:20.090
I like the leader.
00:12:20.170 --> 00:12:21.050
I like the leadership role.
00:12:21.129 --> 00:12:21.290
Yeah.
00:12:21.450 --> 00:12:21.930
I like it.
00:12:22.330 --> 00:12:24.970
I you cannot guess in a million years my favorite.
00:12:25.290 --> 00:12:25.610
Mikey?
00:12:25.850 --> 00:12:26.410
Could not, yes.
00:12:26.649 --> 00:12:29.050
Yeah, as a that's a toss in the darts.
00:12:29.370 --> 00:12:30.410
That's a that's a fact.
00:12:30.490 --> 00:12:32.889
Which I like them all, but yeah, he was he was my favorite for years.
00:12:33.129 --> 00:12:34.090
He's kind of a goofball.
00:12:34.170 --> 00:12:34.410
Yeah.
00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:34.649
Yeah.
00:12:34.810 --> 00:12:35.769
I can see that.
00:12:36.090 --> 00:12:36.730
Yeah.
00:12:37.610 --> 00:12:38.170
Yeah.
00:12:38.410 --> 00:12:39.450
But they're all awesome.
00:12:39.529 --> 00:12:41.450
They all have their strengths.
00:12:42.410 --> 00:12:42.889
Yeah.
00:12:43.050 --> 00:12:45.370
Um, yeah, that was some of my favorite.
00:12:45.690 --> 00:12:47.370
Some of my favorites growing up.
00:12:48.170 --> 00:12:52.570
Do you ever have a movie that you were so overly excited about?
00:12:52.730 --> 00:12:59.129
Like just, I mean, was chomping at the bit, knew the date, was like ready, ready for it.
00:12:59.529 --> 00:13:04.810
So I had a I had a very strange movie that really like hit me.
00:13:04.889 --> 00:13:06.009
And I don't even know why.
00:13:06.090 --> 00:13:08.009
Because I can't even tell you about it today.
00:13:08.250 --> 00:13:08.570
Okay.
00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:11.050
But I went to the theater and saw it four times.
00:13:11.370 --> 00:13:11.690
Okay.
00:13:12.090 --> 00:13:13.529
It was Dances with Wolves.
00:13:13.769 --> 00:13:14.250
Oh, really?
00:13:14.410 --> 00:13:14.730
Wow.
00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:16.090
Yeah.
00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:19.050
But I was I've got that on VHS.
00:13:19.129 --> 00:13:23.370
Yeah, it's a it was it's a fantastic movie, but yeah, it's like a three-hour movie.
00:13:23.450 --> 00:13:23.610
Yeah.
00:13:23.769 --> 00:13:25.370
I went four times and watched it in the theater.
00:13:25.529 --> 00:13:25.769
Wow.
00:13:25.850 --> 00:13:27.210
I have no idea to this day why.
00:13:27.690 --> 00:13:30.090
Yeah, just kind of one of those things, just kind of hit at the right time.
00:13:30.170 --> 00:13:32.889
That's how so Finding Nemo, I watched four times at theaters.
00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:33.050
Yeah.
00:13:33.210 --> 00:13:33.769
That's a good movie.
00:13:33.850 --> 00:13:36.330
And which some of it was just like my friends were gone.
00:13:36.410 --> 00:13:37.370
I'm like, I'll go with you.
00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:38.009
Okay, cool.
00:13:38.170 --> 00:13:39.129
But it was just really good.
00:13:39.210 --> 00:13:39.769
I really liked it.
00:13:39.850 --> 00:13:40.009
Yeah.
00:13:40.170 --> 00:13:40.649
It is a good movie.
00:13:40.810 --> 00:13:45.050
Uh Dune, I watched twice, and that's a three and a half hour movie or however long it is.
00:13:45.210 --> 00:13:45.930
That's coming out this year.
00:13:46.090 --> 00:13:46.490
Yes, it is.
00:13:46.649 --> 00:13:48.490
That is one that I'm really, really, really excited about.
00:13:48.810 --> 00:13:49.290
It's next year.
00:13:49.450 --> 00:13:50.490
Uh it's this year, December.
00:13:50.649 --> 00:13:50.889
Is it?
00:13:51.129 --> 00:13:51.290
Okay.
00:13:51.529 --> 00:13:54.810
That and uh and uh Avengers comes out the same day.
00:13:55.210 --> 00:13:55.529
Okay.
00:13:56.490 --> 00:13:58.410
What a what are we gonna go see?
00:13:58.649 --> 00:14:02.090
It's both, yeah.
00:14:02.170 --> 00:14:06.730
You just get a two o'clock movie and just be there all day because they're both gonna be lengthy.
00:14:06.889 --> 00:14:07.210
Right.
00:14:07.450 --> 00:14:09.450
Yeah, so oh that'd be a good day.
00:14:09.610 --> 00:14:09.850
Yeah.
00:14:10.330 --> 00:14:11.290
Yeah, that'd be a killer.
00:14:11.450 --> 00:14:13.370
That'd be we man, we should do that.
00:14:13.450 --> 00:14:13.930
That'd be cool.
00:14:14.410 --> 00:14:16.250
Yeah, what day in December do you remember?
00:14:16.330 --> 00:14:16.810
Do you remember?
00:14:17.050 --> 00:14:17.769
Oh, dude.
00:14:18.009 --> 00:14:19.850
Tw 21st, maybe?
00:14:20.009 --> 00:14:21.290
That's a weird I don't know.
00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:22.970
I had to I'll have to look.
00:14:23.129 --> 00:14:23.370
Yeah.
00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:30.410
I can't remember for sure, but um do you ever get like uh like super excited for like first day of school?
00:14:32.330 --> 00:14:32.649
No.
00:14:33.050 --> 00:14:37.690
Um so this is gonna sound like a poor, poor pitiful me thing, but it's not.
00:14:37.769 --> 00:14:38.730
But we were really poor.
00:14:38.889 --> 00:14:39.290
Yeah.
00:14:39.529 --> 00:14:51.769
So when other kids got the brand new clothes, and you know, my mom got what she could get, you know, it's the Walmart Rustler jeans, and you know, we of course, like
every other kid, I was faster in my new shoes.
00:14:52.009 --> 00:14:53.370
That's that's exactly right.
00:14:53.690 --> 00:14:54.810
That's exactly right.
00:14:55.050 --> 00:15:04.649
But we didn't we didn't have the name brand clothes and things that nature, so we, you know, it wasn't uh it wasn't quite the exciting time for us as as some other kids.
00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:12.250
So and for me it was the new backpack, the new pencils, and yeah, it was more that than now.
00:15:12.330 --> 00:15:15.850
Once I got 16 and I had my own job, I could get my own stuff, you know.
00:15:15.930 --> 00:15:18.009
But did you like mechanical pencils?
00:15:18.250 --> 00:15:22.090
Mechanical pencils over reg regular pencils all day.
00:15:22.250 --> 00:15:22.570
Absolutely.
00:15:22.730 --> 00:15:24.170
Oh, I love it so much.
00:15:24.410 --> 00:15:27.370
Hate mechanical pencils, but they have to be the thick ones.
00:15:27.529 --> 00:15:28.889
So like the 0.7.
00:15:29.370 --> 00:15:34.330
I don't do the 0.5 or the point Wait a minute.
00:15:34.490 --> 00:15:35.450
Yeah, that's yeah, that's right.
00:15:35.690 --> 00:15:42.889
Why do you know that there are different thicknesses of lead and then certain types of pump pencils, okay?
00:15:42.970 --> 00:15:46.170
Because they're not called pump pencils, stop calling them pencils, okay?
00:15:46.250 --> 00:15:47.610
You pump them at the end, okay?
00:15:47.690 --> 00:15:48.570
That's what they're called.
00:15:48.810 --> 00:15:49.290
All right.
00:15:49.450 --> 00:15:51.290
So, so only certain ones.
00:15:51.370 --> 00:15:52.649
So I like certain brands.
00:15:52.889 --> 00:15:56.170
Of course you because some of them you pump.
00:15:56.410 --> 00:15:58.810
It's the same man that likes certain brands of ink pens.
00:15:59.129 --> 00:16:03.850
Some of exactly some of them you pump and each one and it goes too long.
00:16:04.330 --> 00:16:11.050
So you have to, it has to be the minute, you know, where it just barely, so you can get that right length to where you have you ever considered therapy.
00:16:11.850 --> 00:16:12.970
It it's nice and smooth.
00:16:13.129 --> 00:16:15.129
You may need to check into that smooth.
00:16:15.529 --> 00:16:18.889
I don't like mechanical pencils because they break every five seconds.
00:16:19.210 --> 00:16:20.810
Not if you get the right one, that's what I'm saying.
00:16:20.889 --> 00:16:21.450
You gotta get the points.
00:16:21.850 --> 00:16:22.730
Yeah, but you gotta shop at all.
00:16:23.050 --> 00:16:27.850
Or if you really get crazy, which this one you have to buy at like art stores.
00:16:28.170 --> 00:16:29.930
So they they don't sell these at like Walmart.
00:16:30.090 --> 00:16:30.889
Point nine.
00:16:31.050 --> 00:16:33.850
Those easy chef's kiss.
00:16:34.090 --> 00:16:37.370
That's stop that chef's kiss.
00:16:37.529 --> 00:16:39.210
Point that should be a button.
00:16:39.370 --> 00:16:40.009
Yeah.
00:16:41.529 --> 00:16:42.810
Chef's kiss.
00:16:43.050 --> 00:16:43.529
Yeah.
00:16:43.769 --> 00:16:44.889
So it was that.
00:16:44.970 --> 00:16:51.529
It was brand new notebook and you mean you do you know I have never used a glue stick?
00:16:51.769 --> 00:16:52.170
Really?
00:16:52.330 --> 00:16:54.170
Yep, because it wasn't a thing when I was a kid.
00:16:54.330 --> 00:16:54.570
Yeah.
00:16:54.730 --> 00:16:55.769
That didn't come out until later.
00:16:55.930 --> 00:16:56.170
That's true.
00:16:57.210 --> 00:16:58.649
Was glue invented when you were a kid?
00:16:58.810 --> 00:17:00.730
Yeah, we you we killed our horses for us.
00:17:00.970 --> 00:17:01.290
Okay.
00:17:02.090 --> 00:17:04.250
Well, we do not condone that.
00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:06.329
PETA, let's calm down.
00:17:06.569 --> 00:17:08.730
No, we had we had Elmer's glue.
00:17:08.970 --> 00:17:10.170
Yeah, okay.
00:17:10.410 --> 00:17:14.329
Um do you do you remember the five-star notebooks?
00:17:14.490 --> 00:17:14.970
Oh, yeah.
00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:16.889
Like you were a popular kid.
00:17:16.970 --> 00:17:24.089
Like you were one of the rich kids if you had a five-star, especially if you had a multi-subject where you had the little folders that separate sun.
00:17:24.490 --> 00:17:25.210
Trapper keeper.
00:17:25.529 --> 00:17:26.250
Oh, dude.
00:17:26.490 --> 00:17:27.529
You you were bawling.
00:17:28.009 --> 00:17:28.889
Like that velcro.
00:17:29.210 --> 00:17:29.849
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:30.009 --> 00:17:31.849
You were bawling if you had that stuff.
00:17:32.009 --> 00:17:32.250
Yeah.
00:17:32.410 --> 00:17:32.730
Yeah.
00:17:32.889 --> 00:17:35.690
Um remember the Lisa Frank stuff?
00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:36.889
The real colorful.
00:17:37.210 --> 00:17:38.569
Yes, yes, yes, yep, yeah.
00:17:38.649 --> 00:17:42.970
Like, yeah, everyone was different, and they had, yep, absolutely.
00:17:43.450 --> 00:17:45.370
I never had none of that stuff, but you know.
00:17:46.410 --> 00:17:46.970
Here we are.
00:17:47.130 --> 00:17:47.769
Here we be.
00:17:47.930 --> 00:17:50.410
We was talking about 90s lunch food yesterday.
00:17:50.650 --> 00:17:56.170
Talking about smiley fries and spur pizza and all that.
00:17:56.250 --> 00:17:56.410
Yeah.
00:17:56.650 --> 00:18:00.329
The pizza and the ranch, just like I still eat pizza and ranch.
00:18:00.490 --> 00:18:02.410
And dude, it was every Friday.
00:18:02.569 --> 00:18:04.890
You knew it, and it was a staple.
00:18:05.529 --> 00:18:08.250
Monday was burgers, Friday was pizza.
00:18:09.289 --> 00:18:11.529
Nowadays get Wednesday chicken patty day.
00:18:11.610 --> 00:18:11.930
Yeah.
00:18:12.089 --> 00:18:12.730
It's not the same.
00:18:12.970 --> 00:18:15.610
It's not, it doesn't hit quite like, you know.
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:20.569
Uh just in somebody, I think it was on a TV show or something.
00:18:20.650 --> 00:18:25.529
They were like, and we're gonna have taco Tuesdays every Wednesday.
00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:27.210
It's like that's awesome.
00:18:27.450 --> 00:18:28.089
Doesn't
make a sense.
00:18:28.490 --> 00:18:29.130
That is awesome.
00:18:29.210 --> 00:18:29.930
We need to do that.
00:18:30.089 --> 00:18:33.049
I've never understood why they served corn with pizza though.
00:18:33.210 --> 00:18:33.529
Right, yeah.
00:18:33.850 --> 00:18:35.289
It's such a weird thing.
00:18:36.730 --> 00:18:42.490
Okay, okay, so like a lot of the combinations that they would get.
00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:51.690
So chicken tetrazini, peaches, and some ice cold chocolate milk to wash it down with.
00:18:51.850 --> 00:18:54.329
Like, yeah, none of that goes together.
00:18:54.490 --> 00:18:57.289
Like you said, corn, pizza.
00:18:57.529 --> 00:18:59.690
It's like, what are we doing?
00:18:59.850 --> 00:19:00.490
Like wrong.
00:19:01.130 --> 00:19:04.809
You've never ordered chocolate milk at a absolutely not.
00:19:04.970 --> 00:19:07.130
Like, what are we doing, man?
00:19:07.450 --> 00:19:07.930
Yeah, it was.
00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:17.850
It reminds me of uh Tristan when we when he was a kid, we'd we'd get timed by ourselves, just me and him, and we'd go to this little restaurant in Poffer Bluff.
00:19:17.930 --> 00:19:19.049
It was Earl's Diner.
00:19:19.289 --> 00:19:19.610
Yeah.
00:19:19.769 --> 00:19:22.170
And he'd order chocolate chip pancakes and chocolate milk.
00:19:22.329 --> 00:19:22.490
Oh.
00:19:22.890 --> 00:19:25.130
And that's just a just a memory.
00:19:25.370 --> 00:19:26.089
It's a good combination.
00:19:26.650 --> 00:19:27.289
Memory.
00:19:27.769 --> 00:19:29.930
Oh, and now he's grown.
00:19:30.170 --> 00:19:33.930
Now he's six foot six and still eats chocolate chip.
00:19:34.250 --> 00:19:37.930
And still, and still milk is nothing's changed.
00:19:38.250 --> 00:19:39.450
So there's that.
00:19:40.250 --> 00:19:40.730
Yeah.
00:19:40.970 --> 00:19:42.569
Oh, Tristan, man, he's awesome.
00:19:42.730 --> 00:19:43.450
He's a good kid.
00:19:43.610 --> 00:19:44.009
Yeah.
00:19:44.490 --> 00:19:44.890
Yep.
00:19:45.529 --> 00:19:46.170
But yeah.
00:19:46.650 --> 00:19:48.569
Where where was what were we talking about?
00:19:49.850 --> 00:19:53.690
We kind of went off on our own little thing there, but no, man.
00:19:53.769 --> 00:19:55.850
Just talking about getting excited about stuff.
00:19:56.170 --> 00:19:56.329
Excited.
00:19:56.569 --> 00:19:57.289
Getting pumped up.
00:19:57.450 --> 00:19:57.930
Yeah.
00:19:58.250 --> 00:20:00.650
I'm excited for Halloween this year.
00:20:00.809 --> 00:20:01.529
When oh yeah.
00:20:01.930 --> 00:20:03.370
Not not for any reason.
00:20:03.850 --> 00:20:04.089
Right.
00:20:04.170 --> 00:20:05.049
Just yeah.
00:20:05.289 --> 00:20:12.730
When did when when did when do you remember or or do you remember when you stopped getting excited about birthdays?
00:20:15.529 --> 00:20:19.130
Like, uh, it's uh it's just kind of a no.
00:20:19.769 --> 00:20:20.410
I don't remember.
00:20:20.730 --> 00:20:20.970
Right?
00:20:21.049 --> 00:20:22.569
But now it's just like it's another.
00:20:23.450 --> 00:20:32.569
I mean, I like I like for people to recognize it, but it's not like it's not something I look forward to or I think I think for me 30.
00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:33.529
That was the age.
00:20:33.769 --> 00:20:36.170
Once 30 hit, it's like I could care.
00:20:36.490 --> 00:20:39.049
I don't want to be reminded that I'm one year older.
00:20:39.289 --> 00:20:39.690
Right.
00:20:39.850 --> 00:20:40.329
Yeah.
00:20:40.490 --> 00:20:40.890
Yeah.
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:42.089
That was about it.
00:20:42.569 --> 00:20:43.450
30 ball, man.
00:20:44.250 --> 00:20:44.650
30.
00:20:45.769 --> 00:20:47.850
I'm not not too excited about that.
00:20:48.089 --> 00:20:55.690
Um I know we we just got out uh Zeke's schedule for basketball now.
00:20:56.170 --> 00:20:56.650
D-ball, huh?
00:20:56.730 --> 00:20:57.850
And we've been looking forward to it.
00:20:58.009 --> 00:20:58.329
We're ready.
00:20:58.490 --> 00:21:06.009
This is kind of uh, you know, our family season, and we all get into it and and all that, and and man, it came fast, man.
00:21:06.170 --> 00:21:06.650
Here we go.
00:21:06.730 --> 00:21:07.529
Like, let's go.
00:21:07.769 --> 00:21:11.690
I'm I'm I am so excited to get back into a high school gym.
00:21:11.850 --> 00:21:12.170
Yep.
00:21:12.250 --> 00:21:13.850
You know, it's gonna still gonna be a while.
00:21:14.009 --> 00:21:18.650
Well, I mean can watch Zeke, but for Zane, he's gonna he'd my next one coming up.
00:21:18.730 --> 00:21:20.809
That's that's yeah, because he's gonna be right behind them.
00:21:21.210 --> 00:21:21.529
Yeah.
00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:24.970
So I'm they actually should be what grade is he in?
00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:25.850
Uh Zeke.
00:21:26.089 --> 00:21:26.890
He's in seventh.
00:21:27.049 --> 00:21:27.529
Oh, okay.
00:21:27.610 --> 00:21:28.890
Well, yeah, maybe.
00:21:29.049 --> 00:21:29.289
Yeah.
00:21:29.690 --> 00:21:32.009
He'll be a freshman when he's a senior, right?
00:21:32.329 --> 00:21:34.089
Uh what's Zane in now?
00:21:34.569 --> 00:21:37.130
He's in fifth grade.
00:21:37.450 --> 00:21:38.650
Yeah, so he's two years behind.
00:21:38.730 --> 00:21:38.970
So yeah.
00:21:39.210 --> 00:21:40.809
So he'd be a sophomore when Zeke's a senior.
00:21:40.970 --> 00:21:42.009
So yeah, they could play together.
00:21:42.250 --> 00:21:43.289
That'd be a trip, wouldn't it?
00:21:43.450 --> 00:21:48.970
Well, and even beyond that, uh junior high is ninth uh seventh, eighth, and ninth.
00:21:49.049 --> 00:21:54.490
So when he's in seventh, Zeke may be playing still with him.
00:21:54.809 --> 00:21:55.769
Yeah, that'd be cool.
00:21:55.930 --> 00:21:58.890
I'm hoping he gets called up and plays varsity.
00:21:59.130 --> 00:21:59.690
He can do both.
00:22:00.009 --> 00:22:00.490
We'll see, yeah.
00:22:00.730 --> 00:22:01.450
He probably will.
00:22:01.690 --> 00:22:06.490
I can't imagine I cannot imagine a scenario where Zeke Simmons is not playing varsity ball.
00:22:06.730 --> 00:22:07.610
He's doing good, man.
00:22:07.690 --> 00:22:09.769
He's he's yeah, he keeps driving.
00:22:09.850 --> 00:22:17.130
And do we have such a good group, which two of the guys are are here today hanging out, and and uh we just have such a good group of boys in that great.
00:22:27.450 --> 00:22:36.809
I mean, they are they are it is I can't say enough about just the coaching staff and the school, and and it's it's really awesome to to have and like I said, that grade, man.
00:22:36.890 --> 00:22:38.490
There's just some good kids in it.
00:22:38.569 --> 00:22:46.250
Yeah, and they just they're all buddies and they mesh well, and they're just really good kids with really good families, and and I'm really really excited.
00:22:46.490 --> 00:22:49.210
Hopefully that continues throughout the absolutely kids.
00:22:49.610 --> 00:22:52.809
That's what well I tell them stay together outside of the court, man.
00:22:53.049 --> 00:22:55.450
Hang out, be at each other's houses, you know.
00:22:55.529 --> 00:22:56.650
Um support each other in the world.
00:22:57.049 --> 00:22:57.930
Oh absolutely, man.
00:22:58.089 --> 00:23:00.569
So we're excited for that and we're ready for that to start.
00:23:00.650 --> 00:23:02.809
And uh, we got a couple more weeks and we're going, man.
00:23:02.970 --> 00:23:04.329
Y'all got a really nice gym here.
00:23:04.490 --> 00:23:08.329
Yes, like it looks like yeah, a college stadium.
00:23:08.569 --> 00:23:11.289
It's and I think they said it's not it's not very old.
00:23:11.690 --> 00:23:14.009
You know, they just redone it within like the last 10 years.
00:23:14.089 --> 00:23:14.970
So it's nice.
00:23:15.130 --> 00:23:16.890
Um, yeah, I'm excited, man.
00:23:17.130 --> 00:23:17.930
It's gonna be good.
00:23:18.089 --> 00:23:19.289
Yeah, looking forward to it all day.
00:23:19.450 --> 00:23:20.890
What else you got on your heart?
00:23:22.329 --> 00:23:23.769
We got a movie night tonight.
00:23:23.930 --> 00:23:24.970
Yeah, man.
00:23:25.049 --> 00:23:26.170
I've been looking forward to it all day.
00:23:26.250 --> 00:23:26.650
I ain't gonna lie.
00:23:26.970 --> 00:23:28.650
Yeah, yeah, it's always a good time.
00:23:29.049 --> 00:23:29.450
Yeah.
00:23:29.610 --> 00:23:30.809
Oh man, I sure love you.
00:23:30.890 --> 00:23:32.890
How how so how's the arm progressing?
00:23:32.970 --> 00:23:34.890
How are you feeling with it?
00:23:35.210 --> 00:23:36.009
It's it's good.
00:23:36.490 --> 00:23:37.769
It's so it's weird.
00:23:37.930 --> 00:23:39.130
I cannot lay in the bed still.
00:23:39.289 --> 00:23:39.450
Yeah.
00:23:39.610 --> 00:23:40.089
I try to.
00:23:40.170 --> 00:23:44.569
For those of y'all that may not know, he had he had so it was it rotator cuff surgery?
00:23:44.730 --> 00:23:45.049
Yeah, right.
00:23:45.130 --> 00:23:45.210
Okay.
00:23:45.450 --> 00:23:48.329
Yeah, they reattached the tendons to my bone and yeah.
00:23:48.569 --> 00:23:56.970
Uh so I laid I laid in bed yesterday, and it's like I guess it's just like the gravity of of all that pulling down.
00:23:57.130 --> 00:23:59.690
Yeah, it hurts, so I can't I can't lay down.
00:23:59.850 --> 00:24:03.370
Yeah, I've been sleeping in a recliner for a month now.
00:24:03.610 --> 00:24:04.250
Yeah.
00:24:05.529 --> 00:24:07.769
But it it most days it's not bad.
00:24:08.250 --> 00:24:08.730
Good, man.
00:24:08.890 --> 00:24:11.210
Some days it hurts more than others, but yeah.
00:24:11.450 --> 00:24:13.850
I'll start therapy next month.
00:24:14.089 --> 00:24:18.730
So not emotional therapy, physical therapy.
00:24:18.970 --> 00:24:24.089
I mean, I mean, I need the other therapy, but you know, we're gonna stick with the physical for now.
00:24:24.250 --> 00:24:26.089
Can they do both at the same time?
00:24:26.569 --> 00:24:27.769
I guess I got the time off.
00:24:28.650 --> 00:24:29.930
Tackle some issues.
00:24:31.769 --> 00:24:33.769
Like, all right, come on in.
00:24:33.930 --> 00:24:35.370
We're gonna work on your shoulder.
00:24:35.450 --> 00:24:36.170
This is Dr.
00:24:36.329 --> 00:24:38.009
Jones, and this is Dr.
00:24:38.089 --> 00:24:38.490
Smith.
00:24:38.569 --> 00:24:40.569
They're gonna work on your brain.
00:24:41.450 --> 00:24:43.450
Double action going on right now.
00:24:43.610 --> 00:24:46.089
Hopefully, hopefully, y'all got some stamina.
00:24:48.009 --> 00:24:50.250
Lotus start getting in his head.
