Trash Camp presents being in a pointless meeting. Now here at Tech Corp America United Universal, we strive to make sure that we give quality service to all of our guests. We need to be selling, selling, selling all the time. You basically need to force it down their throats and you want to give good customer service so they keep coming back. Now we came up with 25% from last quarter which is great. Our projections are 50% ahead of
last quarter and we are on target to succeed our budget by 57%. Now I'm going to open up the floor. I'm going to open up the floor for any questions. Do any of you guys have questions? Um yes I have a question. Oh jeez. Yes so I work in HR and the biggest problem that we have right now is people not following along with the guidelines set by the federal government. Now the biggest thing that we have to talk about is regulation HR 5235 which absolutely no one
follows in this company. Now this might not sound like a question right now but I promise I'm getting to a question. Jim, Jim shut up. We are going to miss our reservation at the Cracker Braille. You know if all the party is not there they will give our table away and I'm trying to play that little jumping game. Shut it up so we can go get some chicken and dumplings. Fine but when the auditors come in all I'm telling you is it's going to be bad because HR HR 40 you know let's just go to
Cracker Barrel. My ideas are never listened to. Hi I'm Chris and I'm Michael and this is the Dona Box podcast. Man it was almost like I was in a meeting real life dude you nailed that spot on. Yeah yeah I've been in too many of those where it should have just been a flipping email and they should have just got on with it but hey you know it happens and we've survived them somehow. Well we are in season two episode 21 of the Dona Box podcast. We want to thank all of our listeners
in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and Maryland and Washington Virginia. I got to get that northeast section Georgia, Florida, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Alabama, Mississippi, Ireland. Where else are we got people listening? Brussels, Belgium, Honolulu, Hawaii. I think you did you say Hawaii already? I don't think you said Hawaii already. So we got Hawaii, we got Australia, New Zealand I believe, New Zealand was one as well. We got people all over the place man. We got all over the world
international. Oh we can't forget our Asian peeps in Singapore and in Japan and all that good stuff and also in Saudi Arabia. So welcome back to the Dona Box podcast if you're brand new. Each Dona is a different segment and we love to kick off the show with our favorite old-fashioned donut which is a story from our past. Now Mike and I grew up in Georgia. If you've
been listening for a while you know that. What you may not know about Georgia is that they have a big mountain dedicated, well it's not really a mountain, it's more of a hill dedicated to the Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Yeah so essentially Stone Mountain is what it's called and it's in the town of Stone Mountain Georgia believe it or not but literally it is
a big huge mound of granite pretty much and that's really what it is. It's just this giant natural mound of granite and you can hike up it but yes it does have this very large carving of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and who's the other one? There's another one on there. Wasn't it Jefferson Davis? I think it was Jefferson Davis. I know there's four. It's almost like the Mount
Rushmore of the Confederacy. I think so I think it was Jefferson Davis. I'd have to look it up again really and truly didn't pay too much attention but it's carved into the side of this thing and we ended up going and touring it which they kind of have like a little touristy town at the bottom of it where it's kind of like formatted like a almost wouldn't you say kind of like a gold rush
town almost kind of how they formatted it? Yes they formatted it like that but that doesn't make any sense considering that the gold rush was out west and but yeah it seems like a mining gold rush town is the feel of it. There's restaurants and all that stuff but it is like a popular attraction to go to in Georgia. There are plenty of classes that take field trips there and we just went just because we're like oh there's something to do. I think either sets of parents took us one time.
I remember that much. Yeah and whichever set of parents took us I remember that we what do you call those things a tram or a trolley one that is on a cable that kind of goes up in the air but it's enclosed so it's not like a ski lift but you know what I'm talking about what do they call those
things? Yeah sky lift something like that so anyways it has one of those that could take you up to the top or you can choose to hike it so for whatever reason I think it was because they didn't realize how expensive it was because it was quite expensive to go up the I think it's called like sky lift.
Sky lift thing. If I remember correctly it was like 15 a person or something like that it's pretty high so I remember we get up to the top and we look around at the top and weirdly there was like a helicopter flying around and that that'll come in later but we were kind of like okay that's kind of weird there's a helicopter flying around but I just remember it was kind of breezy up there but it's literally you just on top of those ginormous rock and you can see Atlanta and it's a pretty cool
view but other than that I mean it's probably five ten minutes like oh this is cool and then it's like okay let's let's go I guess whichever set of parents decided okay we're not going to take the tram down it's it's not a it shouldn't be a bad hike you know it's not too bad so then we hiked
down it how was that Chris? It was uh because I think I remember which set of parents took us at this point and I remember it was a rough uh trip down it was very rough I remember certain people almost fell not Micah uh but it was it was interesting very interesting I remember just like you really had to watch where you were going they of course they had rails and stuff but if you took one step you were going to just be tumbling down that rock and it was not going to be fun at all.
Yeah it was kind of treacherous if I if I remember correctly and it was and I mean at that point you know I was playing football was pretty fit and we were going downhill I just remember thinking thank god we didn't go uphill because uphill would have been terrible it was pretty if I remember correctly it was like a mile and a half down there was kind of a sloping one end of it is kind of where the I guess where the carving is is that edge is pretty straight down and that's where kind of
the sky lift and everything is the back end of it is kind of you know downhill sloping thing it's about a mile and a half in length and it's pretty I mean it's pretty treacherous I saw where they do uh like in the Atlanta area they do like triathlons that end at the top of that thing
and I can only imagine having to run up that thing that would be terrible. It was also in the Georgia heat too and the Georgia heat is really really really hot because it's humid and nasty and it was really hot uh hiking down but really Stone Mountain the only reason to go is for the history part of it I'm pretty sure they maybe have taken it down I don't know if they've taken it down do you know if they've taken it down or is it still up? You talking about the big monument display?
Yes. Yeah last I heard it's still up. The only other thing that I would say you know the rest is pretty touristy but as touristy as it may be they had this 4D theater that was pretty fun
if you remember doing that Chris. Oh yeah and I remember the snake just popped out at you and it was it was a little scary not gonna lie because like they do the snake only doesn't only pop out at you there's also like a burst of air and so it is kind of fun I I do remember that at night they do have laser shows so like they do have a laser light show and it is kind of cool and I went back a second time and I actually got to see Skillet in concert at Stone Mountain and it was a
pretty good concert my brother had actually won the tickets off of a radio show so we went with him my mom and our good old communist friend that we talked about at Bojangles old Joseph. Yeah yeah um which which radio station did he win it off of I think I can guess but uh it was called
88.3 WAFJ and the initials. Winning Augusta for Jesus. Yeah it's said her winning Augusta for Jesus that's how they work that out but I mean Stone Mountain is cool that that part of history is bad like in America but it is still interesting to learn about and down in the south it is interesting to learn about the the history of the civil war and there's rich history down there so it is uh I don't think there should be a monument like a Mount Rushmore of the Confederacy but I do
think some of that historic stuff should be preserved. Absolutely there is a lot of history down there and I'll just I'll just say this I would rather went to Stone Mountain than some of the other field trips we did um I remember we did the Augusta Canal tour and if you're ever in Augusta Georgia do the Augusta Canal tour I don't know if it's still as good as it used to be but it was pretty cool even as a kid but I remember doing that but the other ones I remember and I
don't know if you did this at your school Chris but I remember we went to a plantation like a full on plantation and it was like the like the full thing and I'm not gonna go into details I mean because they they spared no details and I remember being as a kid going dang but anyways um there was like that and then I remember they were they were talking about taking us to um you know what Anderson ville is like the big like POW camp for like Union soldiers and it was like this terrible massacre
pretty much and they were like yeah we should take y'all there I remember that was a whole talk at one point like they were gonna take us there and like the parents had to stop it I don't know what was wrong with my school thinking about it. Yeah we never went on field trips like that man I don't know what your school was thinking about. I don't know either I don't know either glad I'm out of
there glad we're in Texas brother. Yeah Texas history and Georgia history are two different things and I love Texas history just because I love Texas but we're gonna move into our next segment which is the jelly donut and that's our jail report. So Michael what stories do you got for us today?
So we have some interesting ones first one starting off in the state of Oklahoma so we know Oklahoma's got some interesting folks even the folks from Oklahoma will admit to such so there was a man who allegedly killed his friend over the summer because he thought the victim had summoned bigfoot and was going to kill them while they were fishing. Was he smoking crack or high on basalts? Well apparently they went noodling and have you have you heard of noodling where you go
fishing with your bare hands? Yep I've seen that on TV I think it's really cool I would never try it
but I give major props you gotta be tough to go noodling. Yeah I mean it really hurts and my thing is and Chris will tell you I got this thing to where I'd be worried about snakes and stuff like that and I'd be worried you'd be reaching in there and be grabbing a snake instead of a fish and even you know best case scenario you have this giant fish clamping on your arm but anyways so they went noodling and him and his friend got into this confrontation and so apparently then
he strangled his friend over the confrontation his body was found the next day so allegedly the guy who strangled his friend told authorities that he intended him that he had discovered that his friend had intended to feed him to the Sasquatch bigfoot. The official report said and the names
are Larry and Jimmy. Larry advised Jimmy he believed Jimmy was trying to get away from him so the Sasquatch could eat Larry and Larry would not let Jimmy get away and Larry punched Jimmy and struck Jimmy with a stick and Larry and Jimmy fought for an extended amount of time and then that's when he killed him so there was like this whole confrontation so it doesn't say if they were
on anything but it sounded like both of them were. That's what I was about to say it sounded like both of them were smoking the drugs uh yeah man you're strangling your friend it reminds me of the beginning of Lord of the Rings Return of the King uh when Smeagol uh strangles his friend when they went fishing they went fishing too and he strangled his friend they did go fishing and it kind of looked like Oklahoma in that scene anyways uh no it wasn't as pretty as
Oklahoma or sorry Oklahoma's not as pretty as that that's true diss anyways uh Massachusetts woman unleashes a swarm of bees on deputies that were serving an eviction notice wow so a woman allegedly unleashed a swarm of bees when the sheriff's deputies when they were trying to serve an eviction notice while she was in a bee suit so uh apparently the police officer showed up she wasn't in the house at the time but apparently she pulled up with a trailer carrying bee hives put on a
beekeeper suit and started shaking the hives and broke the cover off one causing hundreds of bees to swarm out and it initially stung one deputy over nine times and apparently let's see to several deputies and employees were stung including three who were allergic to bees so apparently actually more got stung and more that were allergic so one had to be taken to the hospital how did they capture her how did they capture her because i'm like man that is that's creative but
also that's like sadistic too yeah it is um well they tackled her because the picture that they have on here it doesn't give the detail but it does show her tackled on the ground in a bee suit and then the next picture of them hauling her away um she's charged with the plethora of stuff biggest thing is they're counting what i think is funny is they're counting how many bee stings there was to the officers and that's how many counts of uh endangerment to an officer
that they're charging her with and that number was 49 so 49 counts that means that they are p owed man they were like we're gonna tack on these charges you got us stung by some bees i know bees are good for the environment but anytime i'm around to be i'm like yeah i get oh i get really nervous that and yellow jackets and hornets and anything like that anything flying no no no we're good um so the next one's from the uk shout out to the uk listeners especially
doublin ireland shout out um so a teenager in the united kingdom thought he could hide from the authorities by hiding in an oversized teddy bear after stealing a car oh so this guy was 18 and it was apparently near manchester england i always like to say manchester and then uh so motor vehicle theft and then driving while disqualified some guessing without a license and leaving gas station without paying so after a search they were looking and yeah so looking at
the picture it's a very large bear and he cut a hole right in the bottom of it and uh fit himself in it where did he find this gigantic bear i have no idea let's see when we and then the officer says when we went to arrest them our officers noticed a large bear breathing um and then finding the suspect inside so i guess that's how they found him was he was because i mean it was still full of stuffing like you look at the picture yeah there's a large hole in it but there's all this
stuffing in there so it's probably hot really hard to breathe i imagine so yeah they just saw and you had just got done running from the cops too so you're probably out of breath and yeah i mean it's a creative it's probably one of the most creative ways to get away from the cops it sounds like something out of a movie yeah it does but hey and they still caught him uh so here's the next one from our favorite state flow rida florida um so a florida bride allegedly laces
wedding food with pot and then when deputy arrives and confronts her about it she smiles and acknowledges it so why did they even call or what tipped the cops off apparently some people got sick from eating the food but at least 18 people complained of feeling high or ill after eating their food at the reception and then 50 to 70th percent of guests uh said that they felt the effects of it but let's
see when they but apparently she had nothing to do with the wedding that's what it is so according to this it was supposed to be given as a gift as the wedding gift oh okay so apparently this was just somebody in the crowd and essentially um one of the guests had told the authorities that she had they had saw this person's plate spoonful of what looked like a green herb mixture into the olive oil for the bread and when they confronted her the bride allegedly or the bride's friend
allegedly admitted to lacing the food and acted like she should be excited as if uh a gift was given wow talk about a trashy wedding but at the same time i thought you were gonna say it was like laced in the cake or like they had brownies or something there but the olive oil for the bread i don't know well and then they also found traces of it in the lasagna as well and so they said yeah 50 to 70 percent of people at the wedding got it or felt the effects of it and so she was arrested
and um charged with reckless endangerment and also it didn't say what else it says other a myriad of other crimes so i'm sure there's i could just imagine them being like is this spinach and it's like no it's a freaking pot it's like what no no freaking ziti love that anyways but yeah man that's our jail report for this week those are definitely some interesting stories man very creative uh you got bees you got a guy trying to hide in a teddy bear suit and you got a lady putting pot in the
olive oil for the bread very interesting out of the box that's why i love this segment yeah you can always find some weird weird stuff on the internet and uh it's interesting what people get arrested for i'm telling you it's crazy all right man well we're about to move into our donut hole and what do you got for it well you know you enjoy having uh quizzes for our donut whole segment so guess what i enjoy games it's the kids pastor i mean i enjoy playing the game i enjoy
asking you questions and seeing if you know it so we're gonna see if the fine arts magnet school did you any favors again with another geography quiz but this is regarding the united states okay i might be a little bit better at this one if you guys haven't heard when we did this one i was horrible at geography but i'm a little bit better at us geography not so much world geography uh and some of these are pretty you know fairly simple and then some of these are you know it took me a bit
so we'll see what happens uh so the first question here which of these states does not have a pan handle and you know you've heard of panhandling texas got the panhandling body block but it looks like a it looks like a panhandle exactly so florida oklahoma ohio or texas obviously ohio ohio ain't got no panhandle yeah definitely oklahoma and florida both do oklahoma's panhandle is like really small it's only like you know 40 50 miles across uh anyways the next one which one of these
presidents is carved on mount rushmore is it a grover cleveland b james madison d franklin delano roosevelt or i said d already but i meant that is c uh d if steador rosevelt it is teddy roosevelt teddy roosevelt saw mount rushmore right yeah you're correct steador teddy roosevelt got that right and uh so yeah so this is a yes no question actually does any part of the rocky mountains touch california yes or no it's any part of the rocky mountains touch california
to be honest i want to say like a little bit of it does believe it or not the answer is no no part of the rocky mountains touch uh there is mountains in california but they are not a part of the rocky mountains what's your question yeah i know it that was that was a hard one for me too uh which of these cities in alaska is the farthest north oh that's gonna be hard is it anchorage fairbanks or juno well i'm gonna take a guess
on the one that i've never heard of and go with fairbanks deductive reasoning and you are correct this fairbanks see deductive reasoning ladies and gentlemen it gets you places that's how you got the good score on the sate um now i say t scores actually weren't that good so uh which of these states is the furthest south um out of the list of course is it california ohio texas or wyoming texas baby texas is right by the gulf yes sir it is texas all right next one
which of these cities is not on the great lakes you know this one's gonna be interesting okay is it gonna be cleveland diluth milwaukee or pittsburgh okay so the great lakes it's home here on octario michigan eerie superior i guess it's pittsburgh man is it pittsburgh you're you're correct it is pittsburgh pittsburgh's not on a great lake yeah it's nowhere even here those so you're doing pretty good you're doing pretty good you know the us pretty good seems like
so the next one which state capital does not start with the letter m so this one's gonna be another interesting one here so you kind of have to know the state capitals of these states so it does not start with an m as the letter here is it alabama montana vermont or wisconsin so wisconsin is madison right that's the capital alabama is montgomery what were the other two states south dakota and what no uh vermont and montana vermont and montana i'm gonna go with
montana yeah you're correct so vermont's capital is mont or mont pillier i never know how to pronounce that but yeah so montana what's montana's capital it's sad i don't know that montana's capital is um no shayans wyoming oh i should know this too i see you can't be making the quizzes if you don't know the answers my man no i know it i know it i gotta think of it though i'll get there i'll think of it all right um portland is the capital of which state is it main or organ or is it both
or is it neither it's or again main is the capital of main is augusta i know that much it's actually neither what what's the capital of origan eugene are you sure i'm looking this up right now i'm fact checking you ladies and gentlemen we are on google as we speak oh it's actually salem organ it's not eugene okay well i stand correct i needed to brush up on my capitals apparently too um all right so the next one here which of these states appears rectangular on maps
is it colorado georgia minnesota or west virginia it's colorado correct here's a weird question and we gave that shout out to our northeast folks so this is kind of in that realm is new jersey generally considered to be a part of new england yes or no are you asking me as a quiz this is one of the quiz questions yeah apparently um there is a consideration whether they think new jersey is a part of new england technically or not is new jersey considered a part of new england i would say
yeah and apparently no apparently new jersey is not considered to be a part of new england well what's considered a part of new england then mr smarty apparently apparently it's all the states north of new jersey or had something to do with um whenever the english colonies started essentially during the revolutionary times dude i'm not gonna lie to you after pennsylvania it gets a little fuzzy for me i get you um here's another texas question we just have a few more here which cities in texas
this which of these cities in texas is the furthest north so you've got austin dallas houston or san antonio which is the furthest north um i would say dallas yes dallas i was like thinking you were gonna go like lubbock or amarillo or any one of those but dallas is definitely the most north all right last question which of these cities does not lie on the mississippi river okay sincennadine minneapolis new orleans or st louis new orleans or st louis st louis does for sure new orleans
does new orleans i don't think new orleans does just new orleans not no orleans definitely lies in the mississippi oh well i got that wrong so what were the other two options uh sincennadine or minneapolis minneapolis then nope minneapolis is actually on the mississippi river the answer is actually sincennadine ohio oh wow well you know i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed hey you got most of them right i got the ones that matter about texas that's all that really matters just
kidding we love our other states yeah the thing that bothers me is i don't remember montana's capital no wait i do it's helina it's helina montana fact check that one are you sure i'm saying dude you could have been on the final answer right now i've been asking these questions this whole time how can i be asking these questions that i wrote out here you know i'm not as sharp to be reading off certain things and asking you questions and googling something at the same time it is it is
it is helina yeah i was like i knew i knew that one now i didn't look very good on the sail of morgan but it is what it is all right you ready to move to the next segment chris oh yeah i'm ready you up yeah i'm ready chris well our next segment is one of the favorites of mine what fries my doughnuts chris's turn so chris what fries your doughnuts oh i'm gonna be very very very direct and i'm we're not big enough so we won't get sued i'm calling it out starbucks i hate starbucks
you know i hate starbucks let me go ahead and tell you why i hate starbucks well i'm not really a coffee drinker for one so i don't really like coffee so i guess maybe i shouldn't say uh i hate starbucks but i hate starbucks i hate everything they stand for uh and i'm not gonna get on really that big of a political thing but here's the thing number one everybody that works at starbucks is the same starbucks is very pretentious you have to i feel like you have to be a certain kind of person to
go into starbucks or they look at you weird uh number two yeah you need to have a you need to have a laptop and a certain kind of hair do yeah it's i wouldn't say it says hipster is like other local coffee shops but it still is very pretentious number two why do i hate starbucks because everything is so expensive it's always been that way even in the early 2000s i remember it was still always five bucks just to get a cup of coffee for why so you can put fancy stuff in it is it even
coffee anymore no it's just sugar with a little bit of coffee that's what it is and i'm telling you it's uh the markup is incredible i mean you can go get the same level of coffee bean from your local store for i mean chris you used to work in the grocery business you even worked in the um what what i call it like the higher upper echelon um of grocery stores and you can buy these coffee beans buy the whole and literally even ground up already and literally how much are they they're not that
much it's less than five dollars for a whole bag i would imagine yeah i think it's like eight bucks for some starbucks brand roasted coffee beans you can roast them yourself even if you don't even want to get those you could probably get higher quality of those fresh ones that you can get from the store or even different brands or stuff like that and you can get it for a way cheaper as well if you wanted to just do it from the house but here's my biggest beef with starbucks my biggest
beef i'm all about you know your company you take a stance on things i mean chick filets that way Bahama bucks is that way you take a stance on things but don't sit here and tell me that you care about the environment that you care about other people that you care about equality but you won't even give your employees freaking christmas all you won't give your employees a holiday all you guys are open 24 7 they don't close for any holiday so what kind of message is are you sending
if you're saying yeah we care about the environment we care about equality we care about people's rights you obviously don't care about your employees because obviously you're having them work on a holiday when they should be there with their families when they should be at home spending time with their families i don't care what you say oh well we don't want to promote being off on a religious holiday dude forget that every other shop in town is closed on christmas
and easter and people are getting to spend time with your families get the heck out of my face man all i'm saying is you know the carons and the sorority girls got to get their coffee on black friday morning and they got to get their coffee on christmas morning yeah i think that's absolutely stupid like it's just absolutely dumb i can't believe that you make your employees work on easter and on christmas and every holiday do you know of a holiday that they're closed to be honest
with you no i don't really know really anytime that they're closed i i know that it's like i even remember there was one year that it was like we didn't know a place to go get something to eat and so it's like oh we know that starbucks is going to be open and had the little stuff it's like dang that's yeah i don't even like their food their food ain't good either here's my here's my thing man if walmart and mcdonald's some of the crappiest companies that are known to treat their employees
like crap are given their employees off on christmas and easter starbucks you should i'm saying you're preaching out of two sides of your mouth and that is my biggest beef with starbucks it's not about the coffee it's not about all that stuff it's about that they're all saying one thing and then you treat your employees like crap i'm pretty sure the employees don't get paid that great or they don't really have that good of benefits i don't know i could be wrong i don't know i think
they might because um i actually know this guy and the only person that i've ever known that worked for starbucks and it's up in the pacific northeast or northwest i'm sorry and he literally is like a forest fighter by trade during a certain time of the year i guess there's like a fire season right and he goes out and he is a firefighter well in the off times he goes and works at starbucks and he seems to love it and the pay is fantastic for him so i don't know maybe maybe they do treat their
people good it might also depend on the area too i'm not sure well you know up northwest they are very uh very progressive i'm not saying there's anything wrong with uh you know people up there are weird let me just say that people up there are weird i'm gonna say it but i think they do treat their people a little bit better up there but i think everywhere else man i'm just like i hate starbucks i hate going in there uh all their food is frozen uh and they just hate their food so if
you want to pay seven bucks for a microwave sandwich be my guest or a microwave burrito starbucks microwave burrito if you want that heck yeah man and it's not even that good i'd rather go to sadra down the block who's gonna make me the real stuff with the with the chorizo and the eggs the potatoes i pay three dollars for that i'll put it to you this way my stomach's kind of weird my stomach would prefer going up to the gas station and getting tamales from the gas station then going
over to the starbucks and getting food i don't know my stomach can handle that better than they can handle starbucks food but i will tell you the one thing that you will get if you get one of those homemade burritos or tacos from like sandra or varia that you won't get at starbucks it's made with love and starbucks don't make their stuff with love so that's all i got to say i i'm yeah starbucks fries my donuts so much oh i get that oh i get it i get it yep but i enough about that
let's go into the happy stuff we're gonna move into our mystery donut and that's our impromptu stagnate so what we got buddy so we're going to do the abc game where essentially we're going to be going from one letter of the alphabet to the next and create a story based off of uh based off of it there um so chris what's going to be our scenario today let me think about it taking a cooking class all right add a cooking class did you want to start it off you want me to start it off
sure i'll start it off apparently we had to pay 50 bucks just to get into this class and that doesn't even include the aggregates blasphemy that is just way too much money can we get a refund on this cooking class don't even get me started i would want to refund i've been wanting to refund since the beginning especially since the instructor is 50 minutes late for sure if we're paying this much money he better be showing up on time go ahead and fire up the burner and let's start on this
class without heck i'm hungry i'm in i'm looking forward to making the zee just listen zee's out kick the butter over here to me so i can put it into zee listen bud i don't kick nothing over to nobody may i please have the marinara sauce so that i could put it in the zee now that's better i will hand you the marinara sauce now that you've been polite obviously you can't make a good zee without some parmesan cheese please enough about the freaking zee quit telling me how to cook my
zee i'm doing this so that i can boost my self confidence really are you telling me that you're not self confident why not self confidence is the key to any good leadership position tell me leadership positions and things you don't tell me things like that unfortunately my zee is now burning because you wouldn't shut your yaff up and i couldn't hear my alarm oh very nice just blame me all the time just like normal would you please stop making this about you this was supposed to
be a nice xylophone do i hear xylophone you always use xylophones for the letter x zebras too i don't know why that ended with the zebras but hey it's all good abc game did you have to look up the abc's on your phone mississippi education there you go so we're gonna move into our that's our positive advice and buddy i'm gonna let you go ahead and go first mine is a little cliche per usual you've got to have a little cheesy in your life but um yeah so only the worst days and i've been having
some here lately here where i live it's pretty cloudy in the morning time a lot and tends to burn off in the afternoon and it always reminds me of something because um i got planes flying over my house and of course i love planes and whatnot it could be as dark as you can imagine right super dark super cloudy all that good jazz you take off and literally when you get to a certain point it's always sunny right there's always a bright point and so even if it looks dark there's always a
bright point and it's always as easy to break through as it is to break through the clouds now it might take a long time but you know it'll it'll it'll be bright at some point it ain't easy being cheesy man it ain't easy being cheesy so mine is i actually heard this in a good podcast this weekend it's kind of a leadership tip it was saying that don't wait until you get to a certain spot or have a certain position or certain title uh to start leading lead from where you're at because leadership
isn't about authority or titles or power it's about influence and you can influence somebody right where you're at you know i know we use a lot of sports analogies but uh you know a coach can execute the vision um and they can tell people what to do but if you have a good player that follows that vision they can help influence and lead people around them and an influential player is more uh beneficial and has more impact than a coach is just telling everybody what to do so
learn where you're at even if you're not in charge lead uh with influence and you have influence over more people than you think uh so yeah it's been a good time man uh tell them about where they can find us tv trash can dot com that's tv trash can dot com yeah come pick a visit our site visits are actually up so people are coming in taking a look and seeing all the cool stuff that we got over there we got some interesting things from um like our video works from our past you can see all the
stuff that we used to do all the goofy antics we used to get into from what what was that now 12 13 years ago take a look and you'll be in a world of our creation like willy wonka's chocolate factory i don't know if it'll be as whimsical there's not as much chocolate but it'll be it'll be great i promise i think we should make a little intro that's what they first watch whenever they go into trash can tv is like us in the willy wonka suit i'm short so i can be a oompa loompa i guess i hope
