Speaker 2:And then this ear. I have you know, you got your three hearing bones. Uh-huh this Seven times so. And then this ear. I have you know, you get your three hearing bones. Uh-huh, this ear. They're all prosthetic, yeah, so this ear doesn't work at all. My auditory nerve works, but my ear does not work.
Speaker 3:Auditory nerve.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm Works, but my ear doesn't.
Speaker 3:I don't know what the difference is. So you have your ear right.
Speaker 2:I mean, I get the ear, yes, but I mean so like sometimes when you go get a hearing test right, you know they'll put stuff.
Speaker 3:So Gage, my oldest son, has got all kinds of hearing problems, but it's like right here on both sides. Yeah.
Speaker 2:They will put something there and you can actually hear there. That's where your auditory nerve is.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Right. So it's like I can feel vibrations and I can hear here, but I don't hear anything through here. Got you yeah, and I'm a sound guy, you know?
Speaker 3:yeah, that is very interesting. Yeah Well, Gage, my oldest son was misdiagnosed several times with they would say it was a viral infection, viral infection, and take him in and high fevers and what have you, and blah, blah and not give him anything and poor baby was just suffering and it was absolutely brutal. And, um, come to find out that wasn't the case, that was ear infections. And so then we did a hearing test when he was five and six years old, or they put him in the deal and and they said, well, he's at 80%. So if he wanted to join the military or whatever, that's what you have to have in order to do so.
Speaker 3:And then, um, he's so stubborn and high tolerance for pain, won't go. And, um, this was probably six, seven, eight months ago where he had a horrible, horrible ear infection to the point where they literally thought they were gonna have to go in and do a whole surgery thing. And I was like I mean, but are you just trying to do? You mean, do you not want to hear what we say? I mean, just tell us to shut up, or do you just? I mean, if we're getting on your nerves, block us or whatever, but but you cannot just be, he's got a penis right.
Speaker 2:Yeah yes, we don't want to know what's wrong with us. We don't want to know. Oh my gosh, I understand it.
Speaker 3:We don't want to know, but yeah, I mean brutal the shit.
Speaker 2:That yeah, we, but we will deal with so much because we don't want to know what's wrong with us. Because if we have to admit something's wrong with us, we're weak.
Speaker 3:That's stupid. Especially because, Well, yeah especially I mean that is kind of ironic, to say the least when your mom was still deboning your chicken when you were 17 years old. You know you went in there and you went. I don't want to eat the chicken off the bone. If you had a little tiny, if you would have bumped your toe, you know your mom would have been down there 17 years old.
Speaker 2:You would have given your toe yeah, yeah, yeah, but you don't want to tell us, but I lost Amanda in 06 and I lost my mom in 07. So those two years sucked, sucked, yeah. So I waited a long time, yeah, and then I finally got there.
Speaker 3:It takes a lot.
Speaker 2:I'm gooder now.
Speaker 3:Oh, I love that word. It takes a lot for men to go into therapy.
Speaker 2:It does. It does, and I was lucky. The one that I found was a retired nun. What and remember what I said, but she had my sense of humor.
Speaker 3:I know what's the other kind, Really yeah yeah, she old.
Speaker 2:Oh, she was old dude. She was old, oh, but she had my sense of humor.
Speaker 3:I'd love to hear her stories, you, but she had my sense of humor.
Speaker 2:I would love to hear her stories, you know, but you know we always just laugh. I'm like why am I listening to you? You divorced Jesus, okay. Why am I taking everybody from you?

Speaker 2:You know, I moved.
Speaker 3:We didn't keep in contact. We should try to find her. Nick got some solid-ass detective skills.
Speaker 2:She's probably married to Jesus again, but like, really they're probably walking hand in hand we all have a love-hate relationship. I'm just saying she's probably up there with you. I'm mad at you.
Speaker 3:Right now. I need you again.
Speaker 2:I'm mad at you right now. It's like when I got hit, you know I had a God right, god right, yeah. Yeah, you know I was raised Christian with a lot of dude for years. Hell, mad you know, and then, one day God just said shut up dude. Yes, sir, I stopped questioning. He'll let me know what's going on.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's a big thought, that's a big realization. I learned a lot from a very, very, very, very close friend of mine that lost their little and it it's. It's been a struggle for me and and it still is a struggle for me. Um, like, I don't know how everybody handled it, and I did, I did have and I still, and I've learned how everybody handles things in different ways and forms and fashions, and um, but still there's so many unanswered questions when it comes to that. Like, why would you? Why would you do that? Why would you, why would you take that little when we've got these?
Speaker 3:mass murderers that are running around doing what they're doing.
Speaker 2:And so it is. That's a whole conversation that yeah needs to. Yeah, I've grown more in the past three years than I did in the first 44 years of my life.
Speaker 3:I feel the same way about myself. I really do. Yeah, I feel like in the last five to six, I'm guessing, I have done a lot of soul searching and coming and realization and forgiving a lot of family things that I didn't understand and realizing that choices that I've made were out of ignorance.
Speaker 2:What were the choices that you made? Were they to please others? Almost always so I have been shrinking my circle. I have been shrinking my circle and the smaller my circle gets, the happier I become, and for years I tried to be that guy. Right, tried to be that guy. You don't like me, piss off, I don't care.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But now I'm that way. But then I wanted to please everybody, yep, and I just did the dumbest shit. I still do dumb shit, don't get me wrong, but the dumb shit I do now is for me, right. I used to do dumb shit for them.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:And shrinking my circle and truly leaning on the onesies and twosies. Yeah, I'll be nice to everybody Right?
Speaker 3:Oh, I'll be nice to everybody.
Speaker 2:Right, oh, I won't, but I'll be nice to everybody yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Don't fuck up, but I'll be nice to you. But I truly my onesies and twosies and life has gotten so much better it really has Right.
Speaker 3:I'm learning to quit getting my feelings hurt. I used to get and I still. I mean I get. I get my feelings hurt.
Speaker 2:I used to. I used to.
Speaker 3:But I don't.
Speaker 2:But are you getting your feelings hurt by people who matter? That's the question. You know what I mean. I used to let people who matter that's the question. You know what I mean. Can I just let people who didn't matter hurt my feelings?
Speaker 3:That was me, yeah, and I would overthink it, and it was like this is and how do you deal with it? Woo, I would deal with it in so many different. I mean all kinds of random ways. I mean Mine was chemicals random ways.
Speaker 2:I mean Mine was chemicals yeah. You know, I mean for 13 years I got to learn how to deal with this emotion, this emotion so. But recently I was confronted with an emotion that I didn't know how to deal with and I didn't ask for help. I didn't how to deal with and I didn't ask for help. I didn't.
Speaker 3:What emotion or something Exclusion, exclusion.
Speaker 2:I felt left out and I never really felt that before Gotcha, but I couldn't express how I was feeling. So I'm a beer drinker, don't get me wrong. I love beer, yeah, but I couldn't express how it's been. So I'm a beer drinker, don't get me wrong, I love beer. Yeah, but I turned to harder stuff.

I had no idea what was wrong, but she and I we talked over months Months, not days, months and identified what the problem was Holy shit, done, fixed it. That's just something I've never dealt with before and she helped identify it and we dealt with it together and she and I are that is so.

Speaker 2:Well, it was really funny when I asked him to sign my book.
Speaker 3:Oh, I asked him to sign mine.
Speaker 2:He was like absolutely, and I was like well, they're not here yet.
Speaker 3:And he goes what do you mean? They're not here, and I was like they're not here yet.
Speaker 2:It's the holidays Shit. Like I said, I'm a fangirl. I watch all your shit. Like I said, you're infectious, thank you. I know you're on the personal side, but this side. You're so infectious, thank you. And your laugh is probably the greatest thing on the planet, thank you. Every time you laugh, it's like hearing a baby laugh. You hear a baby laugh, you just get excited. So every time you laugh, I get excited. You have that very unique laugh. Thank you, I think it's awesome.
Speaker 3:That's going to make me cry, why? And I'm going to tell you why Because I had a very good friend. Still do have a very good friend, and you know how we were just talking about how we make bad choices. We end up in a fluctuation. All of make bad choices, we end up in a fluctuation.
Speaker 3:All of a sudden we end up in the oh yeah, and um, we went to go, me and my best friend, and we went to go see him and in the pen, and he was three was to do three months to six years was what was what was his sentence. And we went down to go see him. When he got in there, of course it was obviously the profiling and what happens. We've all seen the shows, we know what happens. And if you don't, it's out there. But look it up and instantly went into the defense and he, he's not, he's got plenty of street smarts, he's tattoo artists, he's not. I mean, he ain't afraid of shit. And so he went in there and he went in to defend himself and that's that's how he ended up, um, having to serve the full six years because he was in trouble.
Speaker 3:And but we went to go see him and when he got out, I ran into him in Kerrville, ironically enough, and we'd kept up through the whole time, as much as we could because he was in solitary, through the whole time, as much as we could, because he was in solitary and and they had bands or whatever on different levels, that that you would be in inside there and he would be black banded and that meant that he was in it, yeah, that he was in an area where, yeah, no one could.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Yep, he was cuckoo for coconuts or whatever, because he would do what he needed to do. So, um, got out, we were sitting in the curb and we were talking and, ironically, I was walking. It was a big dance hall area and, um, kind of like a barn party, so they had the outside hole shouldn't go in, but the bathroom area, so it was like a fairground. It was at the fairgrounds, women's bathroom here, men's bathroom here, and so you walk down underneath the, the overhang and whatever. And I laughed and came out of the bathroom and he was standing in between the women in the men's restroom and I looked at him and I said, holy shit man.
Speaker 3:And I was like I haven't seen you so you know, since you were out it'd been a year or two. And he said I heard that laugh and he said I, freaking, knew it was you, and I mean just tears, and it was so good to see him. Um has a wife now.
Speaker 3:Just started starting family and of course, this was years and years ago and, um, he said the laugh that you have and here I am, here goes my tears sorry nope, um, I think this is really cool, because this is important that he said he was asked a question when he was in the pen and he said what do you miss the most about being outside? And he said it was listening to the laughter and listening to a baby's, a child's, laugh. And he said there's nothing in this world that will ever replace the sound of listening to a child laugh. And yeah, so when you've you've said that to me not once, you've said it to me multiple times and every time it goes back to you and I talk and it goes back to that conversation
Speaker 3:where, but it's true and you think about these guys that are in, these women and these men and these whoever's that are, that are in in lockup and and they don't ever get to hear a baby laugh, a child laugh or just somebody that you love laugh again. That's, it's gone. It's gone and so, yeah, that damn it, woman I know, makes my heart. I love you, love you I love you.
Speaker 2:it's gone, it's gone.
Speaker 3:And so yeah, that Damn it.
Speaker 2:Woman I know Makes my heart, I love you, love you, baby, I love you.
Speaker 3:Thank you so much for having me, thank you. It was so good it was so fun. It was so good. We're going to go get a pedicure next week and get our hair.
Speaker 2:I'm down like an extra.
Speaker 3:I love it. It was so good. Thank you so much Thank you. It was a blast. I had a lot of fun, me too, it was good.
Speaker 2:I'm not interesting, it's just fun.
