Welcome back to another episode of what it's like with Bull and J-Rock. We're going to be talking about today anti-Semitism and act your age. That's what we were talking about today.
SPEAKER_02Some people don't know how.
SPEAKER_01But even if you when you don't know how, if you've never acted your age before, then no shit, you don't know how to act your age.
SPEAKER_00Well, then how do you help them? You gotta help them somehow. Dude, it's not my job to help people grow up. Yeah, I guess more than anything, I think it's just being the example. That's their parents' job. It really is, but it's kind of crazy how we can be in all of our lives, you know? Like we really can like see everybody's life and the mistakes that they're making. And not look at our own lives, you know, and say, man, I I need some cleanup to do. When I when I look at other people's lives, I'm like, dang, it's jacked up. Or I would never. And then I'm like, then I think in my life, like, wait a minute, man, I kind of did something similar, or oh man, oh yeah, that's kind of, you know, I don't know, man. It's great. Some people take it to another level, right? There's like, there's uh, yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_01A lot of times people have, I don't want to say the same problem, but identical like problems, you know? So they may have an issue with something, and okay, you don't have an issue with that thing, but you have an issue with something else. You know what I'm saying? So it's not always something that is like it's not always something that's gonna affect you, but yeah, just like you were talking now, you can put yourself in their shoes and be like, yeah, I remember a few months back when I screwed up and that wasn't anybody. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Okay, so maybe it's not that bad. They're not that crazy because I just did it as well.
SPEAKER_01You know? So I mean, sometimes it is what it is. Lately, we haven't been able to be as consistent as we were. We're sorry for that. I'm not sorry for that. But we have been immensely busy. Prioritizing. Very true. When it comes when it comes down to the VA, they want me to get a program together. I have to design all this stuff. I I'm sorry, but I I only have so much time, and it my energy ends up going into that, and I don't have time to work on, you know, the next episode for how we're gonna set it up and stuff. Priorities are work. Well, I mean, it's not even just works. I mean, look at the people that have kids that, you know, we're supposed to record and stuff, and then it comes to that day, and they're like, oh, sorry, you know, I got issues with my kids at school, or you know, the other ones are like, oh, I got issues with, you know, you know, my kid ended up in the hospital, and you know, all sorts of things. You know, it's just been really hectic lately.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_02But we're gonna do our best to try and get better at that and start really making sure that we're on point every week.
SPEAKER_01However, I'm sure recently some of you have heard that two people that have been very important in history and have done some I don't want to say necessarily great things, but you know, everyone does things great in their own way. And you know, I don't give a shit if you don't like the political part of it, you know, it has nothing to do with politics. It's a man and his life. Okay. Lindsey Graham passed away. You know?
SPEAKER_00Yeah, Lindsey Graham.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and that's very unfortunate. And yes, he was a politician, but it has nothing to do with politics. You know? Have respect for the fact that that man passed away. You know?
SPEAKER_00I mean, and and definitely pioneered having American values and and what we should stand for as in our country. I like the fact that he was he served 33 years in the military, active and reserve. Air Force. Oh damn. Right? Uh he adopted an eleven-year-old sister when his mother and father died, and put her to college. I think, you know, he's done some remarkable things. And um I'm sure, you know, they definitely were the seat is, he will be missed. His knowledge and wisdom. But him believing, and I know he which I do believe he trusted into the Lord, so I know that he's in the Lord's presence and uh hopefully being celebrated, right? For good accomplishments. As we all want that, right?
SPEAKER_01So celebrate his life because he was a good man, not because of the the political party he was part of. You know, who gives a shit right now? You know, it's about him and what happened in his life. Yes, I mean, truly. You know, think about that.
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah, without a doubt. And his sacrifice that he made and what he stood on and what he believed his country to be. And I believe that's important for anyone. But it's awesome how that person got to exercise that ability to be in the office that makes decisions for our country. And what better person than them, or him, right? Like so, um, and people like him. You know, that's what makes our country great. What it what it stands for.
SPEAKER_01Well, when it comes to actually having someone to like, um, another person that we lost, unfortunately, was um Sam Neil. I, you know, some may not recognize the name, but that was Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. You know, so everybody's what seen that movie, you know, everybody knows Jurassic Park. I mean, come on, the theme is just memorable for everybody. You just hear it and it's like, oh, I know what that is, you know? And he made a lot of really good movies, you know, and he did a lot of indie films and stuff like that too. And same thing for him. Maybe you didn't like some of his movies. It's not about his movies right now, you know? It's about his accomplishments over his life because now he's gone.
SPEAKER_00Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know nothing about the dude. All I know is he did Jurassic Park and he was a goofy doctor that thought he was hard, that didn't get hurt by chasing some dinosaurs. So hey. Thank you for what you did, man.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, he he he had a he had a uh actually pretty extensive career. Not every movie was, you know, a blockbuster, but I mean he won, I think, three Emmys and some Golden Globes, and it I mean it's not so like he was nobody, you know, he was a good actor, you know? So that's something that, you know, these days, unfortunately, is kind of rare. Actors these days kind of suck. You know, so it will be missed. The other thing that I want to comment on and w this was something that we had talked about the group of us, you know, before the show and everything. I don't know, but the Cuban Missile Crisis seems like it's a it's it's too close for people to have forgotten it, you know? And right now there's um a report from the New York Post, I believe, that Iran has 300 or so of their like kamikaze drones or whatever in Cuba. So what? Okay, well, when everything h when when the Russians put nukes in Cuba, people went apeshit. This happens and is like nobody cared, and like what it's like, okay, so I'm just glad I don't live off of Florida. I'm glad I don't have a lot of people. Well, I mean, at that point at that point, okay, is this what you're talking about when you want to create the Golden Dome for America? More likely. Or well, I mean, if that's really your reason, then how come nobody really cares that it's going on? Because if that's the reason, who cares?
SPEAKER_00Well, I don't, I mean, who controls the media though? So I don't the narrative is what it is.
SPEAKER_01But if you know as well as I know, I mean, I just think if that was the case, that people would be going ape shit, kind of like how it was for, like I said, the Cuban Miss Cuban Missile Crisis. Right now, and it's different times.
SPEAKER_02Everything's fast paced, people just don't know very well.
SPEAKER_00AI. AI distractions, taking all our water. Just why don't you just put these data centers in the ocean? Don't worry about it. I'm saying, bro, there's so much water in the ocean. Why are you trying to take our water? I just I just understand. We need water to survive so we can buy water off of you for real. Go ahead and put them in the ocean in the rivers and you know, like just do that. And then it'll be it'll it'll be fine because there's plenty of water for for centuries. But you want to decide to bring them. That's that's take them to communities where we can suck all their water up.
SPEAKER_01Obviously, it's very clear that J-Rock is very passionate about water.
SPEAKER_00Listen, listen, I've heard this is what I heard. If you if I ask chat GPD any kind of question and they answer me with everything I need, I literally just went through one bottle of water just to answer a question. Now, mind you, I I understand there's there's give and take in things in life, but hey, if if it's important and you need something, resume, job, whatever that is for your livelihood, then hey, thank God there's a resource like that. But understand there's a give and take. If you decide to use that resource, therefore you're going to give something up. And that is gonna be some water. So, what's more important to you? No wonder why people are fighting data centers. I was always wondering, like, why do they care? Like, who cares? You know what I mean? Like, I understand that noise compliance. Yeah, I respect that. But then when you look further into it, you're like, oh, is that why? Whoa. So taking all the water that is needed to survive. Oh, I don't think so. I'll do without, please. Let's go old school.
SPEAKER_01Okay, well, when it comes down to it, I've been informed by our producer that none of our productions use AI. Well, so good.
SPEAKER_00There you go. You're saving water. Hey, thank you. Thank you, producer, thank you. Smart. Make sure you stay on that. I know you're listening. Thank you. So, man, grateful. Um, yeah, no, it's not a good thing, man. Uh, I kind of feel weird about it.
SPEAKER_01You know, okay, you know it's not a good thing. What that when I heard it was like it it was a different type of uncomfortable because it was it felt like going back in time and kind of like one of those things where it's like, okay, been here, done this, I know how this goes, yeah, don't want to go this route. Because it's like 38% of Jewish people now feel that they have to hide the fact that they're Jewish. So they have to like, like they like showing anything that would uh signify or identify them as Jewish, they have to hide it. That's how they feel now. Because they feel like they're targeted.
SPEAKER_00What also with them means they have ties and they're connected to money or some type of Zionist reform or banking. So I I understand. I understand. It's unfortunate, it's sad that it has to be that way. I know that we all should not be in categories and we shouldn't. There's definitely shouldn't be an anti-Semitism. There should not be hate on any kind of class of race. I understand every race, and this is my own, okay? So I'm not saying stating anybody or anything. This is my own claim. I state that I support what I say. Listen, there are all types in every race and gender of people. And there's only two genders, male and female. There is every type of word, every type of different personality, trait, characteristics. Thank God for that. You know? So I'm beginning as the older I get, I'm just beginning to see things a little different. And it's sad that you have to go through that, but you know what? Blacks had to go through racism. Right? In uh the 50s, 60s, right? They could no whites only. Right? Like there that barely just was passed, like I think in the 60s, right? And then black, white marriages passed in the 70s. You imagine that 40, 50 years ago? But man, 60, 70 plus.
SPEAKER_01I was watching, I watched a movie um with my wife, and uh it was actually the movie Lincoln. I don't know if you had ever seen if you've ever seen that. But um, there was a part of that movie where they were talking about how it was illegal for uh interracial marriage, and she was like, What? Seriously? I was like, Yep, crazy. I was like, Yeah, that was something they they didn't they didn't play.
SPEAKER_00There was no crossing of the lines at all. And they had to sneak, man. They're like, once that lady, she's like, once she was like, darling, once you go black, you don't go back. That's going run away.
SPEAKER_01And then when it came down to it, there was this one girl, and she was like, you know, there's something about her. I'm thinking, and then she found out that she was uh sorry about the little spoiler alert, that she was one of the lovers to one of the white guys, and she was like, Oh, I knew it. I knew it. Okay, so it was anyhow.
SPEAKER_00It was really what I'm saying is that man, that's messed up. Listen, I understand I don't want to eat with some Negroes either. All right, there's some some people in this world I don't want to eat with either. I don't want to see around, I don't want to be around them. Okay, but listen, you know, I can say that because I'm I'm American that is African descent with European traits of blood, along with Mexican. But let me explain this to you real quick here. All I'm saying is that I didn't ask to be born the way I am, neither did anyone else. Word. We are who we are, we bleed red. Why don't you just, you know, love? Because hate is not where it is. I feel for those Jewish people. I also feel for the African-American, Mexican, ICE issues, people, all different races, man. It's it's scary. Like, you're like, man, can I just live? But you can also see, as we have seen in other countries, we're not gonna name Iran either. We're gonna talk about other countries. We're gonna say, hey, let's talk about the UK and the immigration issue that they have over there. And on top of that, man, the the amount of crime that goes on there because of immigrants. Yep. So you mean to tell me, yeah, that's what I mean. I won't eat with every Negro. There are there is a certain type of people too in this life that have that type of characteristic that they are okay with and accustomed to, and that is in their bloodline, or that is in their spirit. And their spirit is not, you know, we're not vibing correctly together because that's kind of wicked. To go and want to hurt, pillage, take advantage, hurt and think it's funny because they're a different race. Or because you think you have more power than them, or you just have hate in you, or you can get away with it. Wicked, man. You don't do that to other people. You don't be you don't you're not be selfish and destroy and hurt other people's lives and their world. All right? Just because you want something, or because you get your kick, your your rocks off of that, hurting someone, right? No, dude. Yeah, okay, that's that's not okay. So that's what I mean by there's evil. So why would I want that here in my country? Even though these borders are being open to that. Why would I want that when there are people that have that feeling inside their soul? Because I was not, I'm so my I was.
SPEAKER_01I think I think some people okay, some people turn around and kind of disregard not all of what you say, but part of it. And you're talking about the person, they disregard that and look at it as all the people as a whole. So when you say something bad about a white person, black person, Asian person, whatever, they take it as you said it bad about all of them. Like you automatically collectively said all people of that race, of that gender, whatever, are that. And that's where there becomes a problem.
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Well, I mean, when it comes down to it, do you speak for all black people? Excuse me.
SPEAKER_00In reference to what? Anything. Anything. Name name something. You can't just you can't just generalize. So what? About whether or not something is justified. Okay. No, okay. In reference to justification like this. This is what I mean by Am I exuding violence upon the situation in person? No. In person, no? Okay. Other people would be. Other people would be because of what their belief or their emotional attachment to the situation. Because of the decision that you have to make. So therefore, it's like this. If it's it's okay, things are called intentional neglect. I don't even want to say racism anymore. Intentional neglect. If you're okay to being patient by being passed over and then speak up your mind in a calm manner, then you're winning. The problem is, what I see is that a lot of my people get very emotional, elaborate, and hostile when they want to speak their mind, when they want to stand for something. To a point where they will exit violence upon you if you do not agree with them. And then people get mad, they say they are acting like a bunch of monkeys. And it's like, oh, it's a messed up thing, because yeah, they do look in the backdrop, they do look like Planet of the Apes, without a doubt. And I see that, but but they are human beings, they need some discipline and correction. That's what I look at.
SPEAKER_01Okay, but even with what you just said right now, you even took that there was that little bit where you were like, for my people, I will say, and you like broke it down into so you didn't just say, you know what, this is what it is, this is how it is for all of us. You were like, it's kind of like this, and kind of like this, and kind of like this, and then it the fruit of it, and that's when you were like, if you don't agree with us, that's when violence starts. You know, so you kind of you built it up into like, okay, there's some like this, some like this. So even though you quote unquote spoke for everybody, even though we weren't talking about anything legitimate, it was hypothetical, you even still broke it down into all the different people and said, but cute accumulatively, if this happens, yeah, we're all kind of like this. So even though you spoke for everybody, you let everyone have a voice.
SPEAKER_00Listen, I can't. Everybody has their own moral compass they live in life, and I know what mine is, and I know that I won't eat with every Negro. That's my point I'm making. Bad company corrupts good character. So I don't care what you who, you know. But and also the reason being, well, I know we'll get off a tangent here, but let me explain. Another reason being, too, a lot of African American men, some of them feel they need to act their age. Just hold on, man. See, you're going on another level. You don't know. What I was trying to get at is a lot of African American men, and sometimes in their class, they deem themselves as a king. So they have a king mentality. So just like you look at um Native Americans to Mexican Americans. American or Mexican, right? And the Aztec. They they they kind of that's their go-to as the strongest chieftain into their tribe of people, that type. African Americans, same thing. King, Zulu, or whoever tribe of African long hair, dread, strong, you know, warrior. Okay, cool. So unfortunately, a lot of them aren't, and they bring that mentality to situations where it's not necessary. They don't know how to um delegate that. They don't know how to, you know, turn it on and off type thing. Their emotions. That gets them really in a bad predicament, and then they end up going to jail. I'm just saying, you know what? I really hope you get some people to say, hey, I'm gonna chime in on that. Like, hey man, that's kind of racist, man. What are you talking about? Black people like that, man. Oh, come on, brother.
SPEAKER_02Interesting breakdown. All that all the way going. That's just my perspective.
SPEAKER_00Well, I mean people I've dealt with in my life.
SPEAKER_02Hey, that's fine. Hey, for everyone out there, remember, these are our opinions. Okay. We're not saying this is fact or whatever. We're telling you what we think. So chill out. I just gave you some facts about some brothers that are from the west coast of the south.
SPEAKER_01Right? When I tell you it's not about facts, that's what you turn around. Oh, you shit. Anyway. Carry on. What yeah, one of the things that we need to talk about, especially with you at this moment, I had recently talked to a friend, and they made reference to how, you know, we were talking about people, you know, behaving, you know, adults acting like adults, and as children grow up, you know, them acting the way they should. And when it comes down to it, um the topic of how they how they should behave came up. And while we were discussing it, um, they said that how do you expect people to act a certain age? So, like a child, how do you expect them to act like they're 16 if they've never done that? They have no idea how to act because they've never behaved like a 16-year-old. So you mean And so that makes it really difficult to expect something that they have no, like to them is like doesn't exist. Okay, so then then I think, okay, I hear you. So but then that puts more expectations on the parents, but at the same time, same thing. If they were never if they never got any guidance or anything like that, and it only went so far, how how could anyone, how could the world in general expect them to know something?
SPEAKER_00There is a baseline with everything you do in this life. You just gotta look into that. If people take the time to have the situational awareness, to take the time to like focus on the fact there's a baseline to this whole thing in life and how you're supposed to operate. It's a it it's it's when you take it out and you start adding all your other stuff and junk.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, who are these people that thought they were gonna get like a manual to life at some point? Like you figure it out as you as you go along the whole time. That's kind of like how life works.
SPEAKER_00Babe, but listen, the basic instruction manual, though, the best one, is the Bible. Bar none. Because if I look into that, it'll tell me how to manage money, run a business, how to be in society, how to be a human being. Period. It teaches me that. It's instructions, man. It's the perfect advisor. I'm like, come on, bro. Get you one. Well, everybody who anybody listening, veterans, get you one. Don't get me one that says that art though. Uh the you know, King James is cool if you want to feel holy and old school, but not really. B something that's going to, you know, help you during this time era of language. So we have new international version, English standard version, you know, all different types that'll help you relate and communicate better. So that's my two cents.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So when it comes down to it, when did you feel like you officially went from being a kid to being a man?
SPEAKER_00After I um how can I say this?
SPEAKER_01This is gonna be an interesting story, I feel.
SPEAKER_00After I Okay, hold on.
SPEAKER_01You said from being a kid? How when was it Okay, when did you feel you went from being a kid? So you're a child, yeah, and then you finally crossed over to actually being a man. When did you like what moment happened where you finally were like, you know what? Yes, I am a man because I've you know, okay this happened or whatever. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Um I mean, for some people, maybe it's when they first had kids. What am I? You know what I mean? Let me ask you the question, Paul.
SPEAKER_00When my father died and I got kicked out the house. And how old were you? My father died when I was 16. I got kicked out the house, age 17.
SPEAKER_02So for you it was 17. I guess so.
SPEAKER_01When it comes down to it, there's kids out there that are 17 and are looking at being like a second-year senior. Like, could you imagine how like what your life would be like if it was like that for you? You would be so far behind. You wouldn't have been ready for that until you were like 26.
SPEAKER_00I think school was a great social experiment. I think it was a great social experiment because the things that we were taught were foolishness. Not all things were true. The most important class that I can say I had was science and math. Oh, and physical education. You gotta have that. You gotta be fit. You know, I mean it's important. But what I'm saying, science, ooh, it elaborate, like it opened my mind to stuff and math. Well, yeah, you need to you need to know how to run numbers, especially if you're gonna work. I think I think if they were to break everything down, hopefully, this this is my thing, real quick. I'm not trying to go off a tangent again. Thank you again for the time, for your time. But honestly, I think to learn would be life skills. Life skills 101. How to, if that's how to write a check, if you get a girl pregnant, how to have an interview for a job, you know, how to invest, like all those types of things, how to have own run your own business. See, that's where it is. Instead, we're programmed to sit down and take and do what master asks us to do. You know, you sit down, be quiet, don't talk. Okay, raise your hand. Okay, hand in homework, be here on time, leave at this time. Eight to three. Interesting. Like a nine to five. Getting your program to work for the man instead of working for yourself. And then everybody getting into their cultural fights. Now it's crazier than ever. But you know what? Back in the day when I was growing up, dude, in the 90s, there were still stabbings and shootings. It just wasn't like you can post it on the internet quickly. You know, right. No, for real, right?
SPEAKER_02Don't you?
SPEAKER_01I mean, it it's true. There's a lot of times where people, you know, will do something to break the law or whatever, and they can quite literally put it on the internet like the within, you know, an hour of when they broke the law or something crazy. You know, it never has to be anything like where it's long term and it's like days later.
SPEAKER_00Right. That's what I mean. Like so I I I know bad is bad no matter what, every every generation, time, direction, but man, just I don't know, man. But I it was a great social experiment. I got to act like an adult. I even had, you know, when I shouldn't have, you know, given myself to a woman or a girl, really not knowing what to do, just knowing what you see in the movies, right? Like you think you're just doing what you're doing, like you're the man. And I'm I'm active at 16, and I shouldn't be that way. I really should have thought about holding my virtue as a man. Like, no, I need to wait, dude. You know, like not just uh, okay, because everybody kind of was doing it, and this girl likes me, and this girl likes me. Okay, cool. No, dude. Sell myself short. That started a lot of problems, and that's what I try to teach my family or my children these days as men. I try to teach them that don't give yourself up, no matter what the world says, or no matter what beautiful woman comes and says, Kimmy, boy, get out of here. And I already told them what they look like. I said, This is what they look like inside. Boom! And it looked like a dead ghost thing with a skirt, bro. And they were like, no, that's girl's dead. I said, okay, don't ever then. So I have to shock them in a sense. I love them, dude. You know.
SPEAKER_01Hey, I I don't I don't know what I would have to say about that, but you know, for one day you might though. For me, when I went through when I was 18 and I went through uh one station unit training, OSUT, and we got to the point where they were actually teaching us, you know, how to destroy other vehicles and everything like that. It it really it's not like I had a problem with it, but it it just in my mind there was a few days where it started just going through my head, and it's like, okay, so you're gonna do that, and there's gonna be people in it. You're gonna do that, and there's gonna be a person, right? It's like, so yeah, this is how it's gonna go, you know, and that's when I realized I was like, okay, all the kids' stuff is over, cuz now you, you know, man up or shut up, because you know, when it comes down to that, people depend on you, you know. In some situations, they need you, you know.
SPEAKER_02So sorry, I I don't I mine doesn't have a virtuous uh well uh lesson at the end.
SPEAKER_00You know, good for you. That's how you're supposed to be as a soldier. Brainwashed to that. Mine was the same. Uh everywhere I went into the Marine Corps was all about killing.
SPEAKER_01So well, like I said, just once I re like once it finally like through the training and everything, once it finally got to the point where it was like, okay, this is your job, this is what you're gonna be doing, and that's what's gonna happen. It was like, okay.
SPEAKER_00It's a crazy program. So it's gonna say though. You're literally you're gonna kill another human being and be okay with it, be good at it, be effective, be swift and silent.
SPEAKER_01Well, like I said, that was that was to for me, that's it wasn't like I said, it wasn't difficult to deal with. It just was a lot to really think about and take in, you know, because I had never really thought about drastically hurting another person, you know?
SPEAKER_00Like I didn't listen, I heard I I know I've heard people even in the past when I wasn't saved, when I was a teenager, and I was quick to do that. I used to carry guns, I used to pack guns to school, man.
SPEAKER_01But I never thought of like, okay, yeah, do this, blow this up, kill four people.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01At the same time, though, when it comes down to it, I was doing that because other people were in need and they were calling for help. So it's like, well, so at that point, it's like, okay, so no, this isn't a joke because I'm doing this to help them. This isn't a gr you know, greed thing. But imagine this though.
SPEAKER_00Imagine you having to do this, but imagine having to make that call if there were a bunch of women and children in there as well.
SPEAKER_02See, that was one of the things that I think for a lot of us becomes the dude. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_00Like, that's what I'm saying, makes us like a pressure cooker, bro. And there's men that I've met that had to do things like that, and they're like it you it still carries with them.
SPEAKER_01Well, like I said, that's the what I think makes us like a pr pressure cooker, because when it comes down to it, you can't justify it, but you have to justify it, and it shouldn't be justified, but it is, so it just goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, and never totally ends.
SPEAKER_00I think it's morality. I think that hey, maybe if you're bold enough, you could be like, I don't think so. F those orders. I'm gonna go ahead and shoot above it, in front of it, distract it, do something else, let it get this direction, and then go ahead and help. And if I get some slack, oh well, I did it.
SPEAKER_01Oh, wow. Oh, I definitely want to thank everyone for listening to this really wild, crazy show that this one has been.
SPEAKER_00That's what happens when you don't, when you stay away for a while and you get busy on other things, and you come back to the and you're just not used to it, and you're just like, okay, sure.
SPEAKER_02And then things just go off the rails. So that's why I said come back and you feel good, and things are just rolling, and then it goes off the rails, and next thing you know, you you're on a totally different topic, you know.
SPEAKER_01But like I said, I want to thank everyone, and um I also want to remind everyone about our um blanket donation that that we have going on for uh the vets at Mana House. You know, we're at 36, I believe. So um to hit our goal, we need another 24. You know, so um really we really want 70.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, 70 would be nice. That's really 36. Yeah. So if if you can do 36, that'd be even better. So make it happen. Because I know you can't. If you can't, I understand. I pray for you that you can. And if you do, great, because you'll feel great about and feel you feel good inside your soul that you did something to help helping others straight up. Nothing better than that.
SPEAKER_01So if if you're able to do a blanket or ten dollars, you know, you can get a hold of us at uh bull and j rock no k-o-c no k at gmail.com and we'll figure that one out and we'll get that set up.
SPEAKER_02Now we actually have a fun new thing that we've never done before, but this is part of the show growing. So we get some fan questions to go off of.
SPEAKER_01So I'm gonna ask these to you this time. What was your dream job growing up? And if it was the military, what MOS did you want? Dream job growing up. I wanted to be a pilot. Why is that? Fighter pilot. Fighter pilot? Okay. I wanted to be an architect. Architect. Sorry. Growing up, what was your favorite cartoon or TV show?
SPEAKER_00Wow. Segments. There's a thing that we would have back to back. I could not wait though to start my day in the morning with Felix the Cat, Mighty Mouse, Woody Woodpecker, off to school, after my cereal. When I came home, when I came home, it was Super Friends, Batman, and then He-Man. Those are great cartoons that I I would like to watch. It wasn't like nowadays where you got hundreds of them. So just a select few, man. Hey, dude, you had a whole bunch. I had Rocco's Modern Life. That's ridiculous. You were born later than me. How would you only have this one? Because I played outside a lot. Oh, see? I did too.
SPEAKER_01You know, I know I knew how to ride a bike. I swam a lot, was running around doing shit, climbing trees, all that stuff.
SPEAKER_00Dude, when I learned to ride a bike, I didn't have a helmet. But because most of us at that age didn't use helmets. Straight up, go ride. And I would just hit the corner, hit the corner, and then finally I was able to ride. I'm like, I can ride a bike, now I can hang out with the bigger kids.
SPEAKER_01Well, it looks like here we've gotten a very interesting question.
SPEAKER_00What?
SPEAKER_01Pete, someone wants to know specifically, are you available? For what? I think they're asking if you're single.
SPEAKER_00Hey, we know what I look like. Oh, that person probably doesn't care. That's interesting. Well, yes, I am not available. Thank you for the inquiry. I have a beautiful wife, by the way, so I I'm I'm available to her.
SPEAKER_02Ditto. Not to your wife, but to mine. Yeah. So um, let's see. What is the best part of your day? Well, for me, I would say the best part of my day would once get done working out, taking a shower and everything, you just you feel better.
SPEAKER_01You know, you feel awake and just I don't know. But that that would be it for me.
SPEAKER_00Best part of my day is waking up to my family.
SPEAKER_01Okay. And lastly, it's well, it's a I guess it's definitely a good thing that you admitted that you had a wife, otherwise, this would be a very important question for you.
SPEAKER_00Oh, very What would you want as a last meal? Ooh, what would I want as a last meal? Surf and turf, baby. A filet mignon, best filet mignon you can think of, man. Butter, sauce, everything needed there. Nice size, too. Then on the other end would be the jumbo shrimp. Taylor's mouth watering. You know what I mean? Just huge shrimp. And you'd be like, all right, cool. I got that with some mashed potatoes, right? Maybe a salad and some good, good Texas Roadhouse bread with that butter. All right. Wow. And then I would have really drawn out. Then I would have a nice strong, not me, a nice tasty strawberry margarita blended with sugar. A nice big one, right? Some water. And my family in front of me. That's it.
SPEAKER_02Wow, that was pretty extensive.
SPEAKER_01Um for me, I'm a little simpler. I would be really happy with um an old school Reuben. Um some good fries, not too crunchy, but not soft either. Um probably I don't know, maybe like uh chocolate milkshake. Go with that. But like I said, it's a good thing that you remembered your wife, otherwise that question would have been very important because he would have been getting that. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01So now that we've completed our fan questions, which we hope we get more of, you know, we always appreciate the feedback.
SPEAKER_00Thank you for the weird one, too. If I was you have no idea what I look like. But I appreciate that. It means a lot. But thank you, no, thank you.
SPEAKER_01Well, like I said, I I don't think that was they they necessarily cared about what you looked like. I think you know that was part of it.
SPEAKER_00So who are you asking, bro? You're just going up to just random people and asking them.
SPEAKER_02No, dude, this is what people ask us. This is crazy. You know? Well, thank you. We're gonna have another crazy batch when it comes down to it, don't worry. I know, because it's the VA.
SPEAKER_00We need some circus music, actually. Oh wow. No, no, no, no. It's really going off.
