Introducing the iPhone 95 coming out in two days, two days. Sir, it's time for you to upgrade. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I literally just got the iPhone 15. Like, I've been waiting like two months just to get it in and I finally got it in. Are you telling me there's a new iPhone? Oh, sir, sir, sir, sir. The iPhone 15 has been obsolete for at least, at least six and a half months now. At least six and a half. But didn't it just come out seven months ago?
Indeed it did, but you know, if nobody has told you, the shelf life of cell phones nowadays are looking like anywhere between half a month to a month. So I would plan to upgrade every, you know, monthly period. So we just skipped from 15 to 95? Like I thought the camera on this 15 was supposed to be like Hollywood level. Like what's the difference with this new iPhone? Okay, this is just between you and me, sir.
But pretty much the only difference is the number has gone up on the device's model number. I mean, they kind of did well with the camera. They put a little film on it. But yeah, it's the brand new operating system. Yeah, that's what it is. Well, how much is it? That'll be $14,299. And oh, by the way, if you don't buy it and then you buy it Android, we're going to shame you tremendously for it. Well, I guess I'm going to have to take out a second mortgage on my house and sell my kid off.
But I guess it's worth it if I can have the iPhone 95 because that's what everybody else is doing. We have our mortgage refinances standing by. Go ahead and go to booth number three and we'll get the process started. Hi, I'm Chris. And I'm Michael. And this is the DonutBox podcast. Apple stores are creepy. I don't know about you. Have you been in them? They're a little weird. It's interesting you say that they're kind of culty.
I feel like you're like in this weird like Twilight Zone, like all white. Like it's, I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I feel like it's a little culty. Everybody dresses all the same. It's supposed to have that, you know, kind of futuristic look to it. Yeah. Anyways, anyways, but welcome to the show. It's the DonutBox podcast. It's Monday boarding and we really appreciate you for joining us. And yeah, Chris 99. We're almost there, man. One more episode will be at 100. That's next week.
And I want to go ahead and send a shout out to all those that are dealing with the war and Israel and all that stuff. And I want to pay a reaction over everybody we sent our thoughts and prayers to our Israeli friends. But yeah, it's 99. Next week is 100. We want to thank all of our listeners. I think our highest listener is in a place called Council Bluffs, Iowa, very small town, Council Bluffs, Iowa. You know, I'm going to just kind of sidetrack for a second.
Those of you in Council Bluffs, Iowa, let me know who you are because, eventually, I want to come see an Iowa, Iowa state game whenever you're old, you know, one of these years and see how that is because it seems pretty cool. So, you know, maybe we can link up all while we're out there. But where else we got people listening from? Nebraska, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington, California, South Carolina, of course, our home state of Texas, Canada, where else internationally?
Worldwide. We can't leave out Belgium because Belgium has been fantastic. Frankfurt, Germany, and we talk about a few of the European countries out in Saudi. Then we go down over to Australia, up into Singapore. Man, we all around. I mean, the continent of Africa has been blowing up for us. It's been fantastic. We really appreciate all the support. And, man, we can't wait to get started. This one's going to be a good one. I mean, 99 is going to be great. 100
is going to be fantastic. We got some good stuff in the store for you guys. You ready to get started on that? Let's do it, man. All right, man. So let's move into our first segment, which is our old fashioned undone or a story from our past. So, Chris, we've done it before. We're doing it again. It's episode 99 and it is Boot Corral Part 7. We got some more people we got to highlight because let me tell you something. We've got some characters that we knew.
The boot corral bag is like Mary Pop's Poppins bag. You can just keep pulling stories and stories and stories out of it. Yeah, because we actually talked before and was like, you know, I think there's a few more people. And once you get started talking, then you figure out about five, six more people you could talk about. You go, okay, well, we got a few segments out of this. So to start this one off, let's talk about a couple, Christopher.
Let's talk about a couple. We haven't talked about any boot corral couples, have we? Like any exclusive ones. No. And the thing about boot corral, as is in most retail places, fast food places, any of those type places, there's always workplace romances, always, always, always. But there was a couple that I guess they had been there. They had been together for a while when we first started. Yeah, I would call. So the main, the guy of
the relationship was a dusty fella is what I'd call him, kind of a short guy. And he was addicted to a little nose candy. I'll tell you that much. And crack cocaine for the people listening at home. Anyways, he was he was quite the character all the time,
always showing signs, but he was slinging boots left and right. The lady, she actually was interesting because she was like, going to the university there in town and getting like a really high degree, she was going for her doctorate, I believe at the time, which was kind of weird, or she could have just been saying that I'm not really sure. But she had had like all these, it seemed real because her previous job was like in that
role. And it seemed like kind of just a college job. But at the same time, it was it was kind of a weird situation to elaborate on that a little bit, Christopher. How are these people? They were very, they were like the potsters of boot corral. There was a lot of drama associated with them. And what was it was worse than high school? Yes. What was interesting is they
both worked together as sales people on the sales floor. And I don't know how that affected their relationship because working on the sales floor at boot crowds, very cutthroat. It's like being in a bunch of in a shark tank, basically, because people are always trying to steal your sales. And as a reminder, it's all commissioned. So you don't sell, you don't make money. So it's a pretty competitive environment. I just remember a lot of people
did not like her. I don't know what we're going to call her. We'll call her Lizzie McGuire. That's what we'll call her Lizzie McGuire. Not a lot of people liked her because she always started drama. And I think she kind of put her nose where it didn't belong. And there were the crazy thing about working in the back room. And Micah can attest to this
is that's where everybody would go to spill the drama and spill the tea. I guess we were there like safe space, but everybody was always coming back there talking crap about Lizzie and Dusty. So yeah, we found out about all this stuff that went on. I remember one particular occasion, you know, I don't know, it's bad to talk about people's addictions. And I'm, you know, if you're out there and you got some addictions, go go get some help. And, you know, it's not
worth it. But it's not funny. But the funny part about the whole thing was you would watch primarily Dusty's up and downs when it comes to, you know, what he was doing.
And I remember one particular time how it worked was, I don't know why it was like this at Boot Corral, but when we all worked in the back like Chris was talking about, it was prepping all the stuff to go out and go on the shelves, you know, shirts will come in with clips all over and we got to take the clips off sometimes needles to take all the needles off of them, all sorts of stuff, put the tags on all that stuff, right, do
that same with boots and jeans. And so what ends up happening for whatever reason, a lot of stores, if you do that in the back, you would then, you know, once you're done with that process, those same people would take it out and then put it on the shelves themselves. For whatever reason, they would make the commission salesman do that, right, they would, we would push out the new stock of stuff, the salesman would have to come and distribute it to the
shelves accordingly. I really don't know why that was, but hey, there it is. Also, the summertime was a really slow time period. Nobody's really buying anything. Most people just come in there to look that sort of thing and it's just very, very slow compared to the holiday season, things like that. Chris, do you remember the day we rolled out the
cart? He got very mad. He was very mad. He came back there, yelled at us, and he used some non-family friendly words and was like, I don't know why you guys are pushing out this blankety-blank cart. What are y'all doing? Y'all are full of blankety-blank. Yeah. And then he like tried to, so this rack that we pushed out, it was kind of a rudimentary, they put it together with pipe, right? So it's just kind of all these pipes together
with wheel fittings at the bottom. It's kind of rickety, it's kind of weird. But I just remember he tried to like grab it and slip it, but he like failed to do so. So it was just incredibly funny, but you never want to laugh at somebody who's raging like that. But yeah, it was just crazy. He would kind of get into these things. But yeah, you would hear all about their spats and stuff like that. And both of them, the thing that I remember
the most was they were both like hotheads. I remember that completely. And so they would come back there and start talking about it. And it'd be over like the smallest stuff. I don't know, man. It was pretty volatile. Them two people were, they definitely were not meant for each other. And they definitely brought out the worst in each other. Yeah. Anytime they'd come back there or anytime anybody come back there, we'd be like, man, that's crazy, bro.
Oh, I do remember one time, and this is a big thing. So I remember Dusty got really mad at Lizzie McGuire. What ends up happening? He had, you have a section that you have to clean up, right? Or keep straight and things like that. And I mean, this manager that we had that we've talked about before, he expected things to be immaculate. Like I'm talking,
there was an order that the boots went. It was like they all had to be what was called boarded, which means you literally had to take a two by four and make sure all the toes were lined up completely. There was a specific way that it had to go. And I remember she got so mad Lizzie did and tore his entire like I'm talking like pulled them all down and made him like redo it. And it was the back wall too. And the back wall was like
really, really tall. She got a ladder and like pulled it down. And it was before it was like right before his shift. And I just remember like he was real mad. And the only rule that the manager had was like, if you're gonna argue, argue in the back. And I just remember they came back there and they were like yelling and screaming like, you don't have to do that kind of crap. And I'm paraphrasing because it's a family show. But yeah, it was
very interesting times with them very interesting times. Do you want to introduce the next set of characters or character? So we're going to start with a character, but it's going to link in to the second character and we'll explain. So there was the first one. What did we got to call her? Dolly? We call her Dolly. Yeah, sure. So pretty much this gal for all of our Southern folks, she had what was called the Jezebel spirit. She was an
attention seeking person. She definitely was an attention seeking person. We'll go with that. But she was kind of she also had a few screws loose as well as a lot of our characters did. That's Dolly, right? The next character, what do we want to call him? I've got many names, but none of them are family friendly. We'll call him Jimmy. Jimmy. Okay. Jimmy, you want to talk about he was a he just wasn't the smartest guy out there. He was pretty
he was a he was a good old boy, good old boy, ranch hand, but dumb, dumb as rocks. What a dip in his mouth. You know, the word not saying if you do dip, but it's just like he was just that typical guy. Anyways, so old Jimmy was he wasn't married, right? Like they were just I think that was just his girlfriend or fiance. So had a kid and pretty much what happened was do you remember like exactly what happened? Yes. So from what I remember
their son was eating and I remember he was choking on some french fries. I remember that's what happened. He choked on I think a french fry or something. And I think they were like trying to get him like they tried the Heimlich maneuver or whatever and he was like turning blue and like he was he was like choking to death. And so they were like trying to rush him to the hospital because like they didn't know what to do. And apparently wasn't Dolly
the one that was babysitting or like looking after? Yes, Dolly was the one that was babysitting. And I remember like while they were trying to take Jimmy's son to the hospital, Dolly kept like blowing up their phone like she kept calling it and calling it and calling
it calling it. And like she was just like going crazy and blowing up their phone. I mean they're trying to like rush their son to the hospital and and she's blowing up their phone like they're not going to pick up and she was getting mad because they wouldn't pick up. Yeah, she she got like so mad. And if I'm not mistaken, like she if I remember she came back to bootcrow like that same day and was just like hysterical. But it wasn't
really the weird part about it was now that I recall. You know, sometimes when you when you think about things now that you're an older and as an adult, it's like, you know what, that's kind of weird that that's what it was. But I remember her not exactly being like, Oh my God, like this child is deceased. But it was more like, Oh my God, they're going to blame me. Yep. Yeah, that's what it was. I remember that was the whole thing was like
she was like, Oh my God, they're going to blame me. And they're going to think that it was me. And it's my fault. And it's not it's not my fault. And she was just like trying to convince everybody. It's just like, dude, it's okay. Like it's it was a bad accident. But like it wasn't any sort of remorse of like, Oh my God, the child died. Like, it was like a feel sorry for me feel bad for me. They're think they're going to think that I killed
Wyatt. And like, it was like she came up to the store just being hysterical and like purposefully caused a scene just so she could get attention from people. And I guess get people to feel sorry for her. But like you said, it was more of like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe like I hope Wyatt's okay. Like I really hope which is was the kid's name. And it's
like I really hope he's okay. I'm worried. It was more like, I don't want to be the bad guy or I'm the victim here pretty much, which was which was really, really nuts, which then gets over into the other interesting things that happened with her. There was an occasion where she had friends up there, of course, and one of her friends who was off of work came up there and says, Yeah, does anybody know of a guy who can install a door and a
lock? And of course, naturally, we're like, Okay, why? And it was because Dolly, which she had this boyfriend, right? And he was some Air Force ROTC little square dirty kid, which was kind of interesting because they just really didn't match up. But she was like really controlling to so I can imagine that it was just like, Oh, she was just going to control his by anyways. So they end up kind of on again off again. And she apparently
went nuts. And he wouldn't let her into her house. And so she kicked down the door. And apparently she like I'm talking full on kick down the door to where they had to replace the door and the lock. And what they were freaked out about was, apparently, this guy's parents were out of town, and was going to come back into town. And so they were winging out because they're like, We need this door in this lock, because apparently, you know,
naturally, the parents did not like her at all. I wonder why, right? And I just remember the whole thing is like, they're going to press charges. They're going to press charges like, Well, you should have been not kicked down the dang door. Yeah, she was literally she number one, she was crazy. And number two, she thought like everybody in the world wanted her. And we were just like, Like, she wasn't like, she
wasn't like, ugly, she wasn't like, like, ugly. But she was, you're just like, bro, you're crazy. Like, like, not at all, dude. Yeah, she was wild. But she thought she thought like every boy wanted to go out with her, which was not the case. What I thought was really nasty, too, was she was like super, super into the general manager that was like 15 years older than her and married. And she was always like, Oh, my God, he looks so good in them jeans today. It's like shot. It was nasty.
Okay, here's the thing though. Here's the thing that it wasn't just her. There were a lot of people at that store that acted that way. That is true. It wasn't just her. But still, now that I'm older, I'm just like, that's really weird. It was gross. I'm not saying it's not gross, but I'm saying she she was not the only one. Okay, you're right. You're right. There were there were a lot of cashier ladies that were like, Oh, yeah,
I'm going to break him and his wife up. And I just like, Okay, we talk about book crowds. Crazy times, man. That retail world is just something else. It's its own little as much as I'd like to it's just its own little micro society over there that's it's doing its own thing. And I don't know, you know, everybody, it's like being an extremely small town. And you just know everybody's ish inside. Like whether you want to or not, that's the problem.
There's a lot of times like, man, I really don't care about your stuff, but you're you're involved because they're in the back room yelling about it. But like I said, you're in the back room and a lot of people go back there to vent because they're like, Oh, yeah, you're not going to tell anybody that was where everybody wanted to go vent. I knew things about people that I didn't really care to know about. And I was just like, man, I'm just trying to get my job done
and go home. That's all I'm trying to do. I don't really care about this drama. And to be honest, shout out Zacharame and cheese because we know you listening. But I tell you this much when we were in the back, that was part of the fun was I ain't gonna lie, we were some potsters too. We did stir the pot up. Listen, if there's if there's already a catalyst, you might as well just, you know, let it react, baby, let it react and see what happens. But then again, you know, we're
we're minimum wage workers, and we were quite bored. But, um, thank man, every time we do this segment, I can't believe how long we were able to talk about I could keep on going and going and going, but we already had 20 minutes of what's maybe we'll save a little bit more for 100 episode, or we'll save a little bit more for the three year anniversary. I don't know who knows, maybe we'll do like a two hour special. Yeah, a tribute. Or do you remember? I don't know why that I'm
remembering this, but home improvement where it's just like a tool time salute. It's just like a donut box salute. You ready to move to the next segment? Yeah, we're going to move into the next segment, which is the jelly donut. And that's our jail report. Micah, what do you have for us? It's not the jail report this time, right? It's not the jail report this week. I figured we could talk about something. Um, I mean, jail stories are very interesting too. But I figured we could talk
about Reddit stories about people cheating. And guess what we're going to call it? They belong to the streets. If you don't know what that they belong to the streets means, it means basically, you are a worker that receives money in exchange for coitus. That's what Yeah, there you go. And the most scientific nomenclature he could possibly imagine. That's right. We're pulling out our SAT vocabulary today. All right. So the very first one here. So this
lady says my ex husband and his family smoked a lot of weed still do drugs and out of K kids. His sister kids and nanny were visiting from out of state for a few weeks. So when it was time to fly home, they wanted to take some of the weed that they had purchased on the trip with them. However, of course, they don't want to take it on the plane. So her ex husband asked her, Okay, can you pick it up and drop it off for them? Like drive with them and drop it off? Wherever the heck they're
at. So apparently she made the trip with them and drove back. She agreed to do so. She says she doesn't really smoke, but she agreed to carry it with her because of course it's your spouse. Are you going to tell your spouse like, No, I'm not going to do that for you. So apparently on the way
back, she finds this surprise note from a lover in the car. So she pulls over at this truck stop and starts reading this letter from this lover and about how they had a fantastic time on this weekend and everything and how this particular date July 2nd was going to live in this person's memory forever. Well, this person then remembers he was supposed to be at a business trip in Montréal. On the on the second yet, of course, she comes and finds out digging and pretty much what happens
was she he was indeed cheating. He actually just went to a neighboring town and apparently had his fun. And meanwhile, when she found this out, she was still on the way there. So she had a car full of weed on the way to this person's house. She says she dumps it on the side of the road and apparently she moved on with her life. And 15 years later, she's never been happier. Fantastic for that. But dang man. So she he tasked her with taking drugs cross state lines and all this other
stuff. That's what I was about to ask. I was like, was she moving it across state lines? Because some states, you know, weed is not a big thing. But in other states, it is. And if you're moving it across state lines, I'm pretty sure it's like a felony. Oh, yeah. And it's like a federal felony too. Because you move it across state lines is no longer a state deal. But I'm assuming it doesn't say that directly. But I'm assuming so because, you know, why wouldn't they just taking it back
with them? I mean, I guess they don't want to fly and take it through TSA with them. But at the same time, I don't know, I figured there's other means that you can figure it out. But who knows? Yeah, send it in the postal service. Just kidding. That's a good way to get caught. Yeah, man. Well, I wonder if he was cheating on her while she was on that little trip. Oh, potentially, potentially. But here's what I would say. If he's if he's making you do extra work, and banging chicks on the
side, he belong to the streets. Okay, next one. And they definitely belong to the streets because that's where they work. All right. So an acquaintance of this person apparently came home from work one day and found the Mrs. Doing the dirty with that person's dad. Oh, that's nasty. That's that's like Jerry Springer story right there. Oh, bro. That is a low like anytime you have a family member, but if it's like the dead. So what ended up happening was and sorry, kids, not a happy ending.
But apparently it blew up all over Facebook became local drama craziness and all this other stuff. So the wife then divorces him and gets with the dad and ends up with the dad. And then apparently she cheated on the dad later on. Cheetah's going to cheat. So she she played the son played the dad like a fiddle. Did she cheat on him with a brother? That would be funny or a cousin. That would be great. Um, well, she belonged to the streets and the dad belonged to the streets. There's so much
wrong with that. There's so much wrong with that. Like you got to be just real, you're real sick in the mind, which Oh, not supposed to be celebrity gossip, but you heard that's pretty much what happened with dog the bounty hunter, right? He had a girlfriend. Yeah. So his wife, you know, old tickle bitties, she she passed away, right? And unfortunately, so he's like gets with somebody pretty immediately. It was like his son's ex girlfriend from like years ago. And he like
gets with her. I'm like, Oh, how can you do that? And how can you do that in good conscience? Not okay. How can you do that to Leland? Can't do it. Can't do it. Can't do it. Funny thing. It was it actually was Leland. I thought that was his only son. No, he's got other sons. Like he's
no, he's got other sons. Like the other the other dudes that work for him. I'm pretty sure like, hold on now, I'm thinking of my dog, their family is no like that one dude that works for him is like, well, there's his brother, the ponytail guy, well, they all have the older ponytail guys his brother. But I thought that he had like an older son that like helped him. Anyways, anyways, this is a dog the bounty hunter trivia. That's next segment. No, I'm joking. All right. So the
next story here, this one's kind of a short one. So this person's wife was acting unusual for a few weeks. And she would spend time by herself on the weekend, say that she was going home, or I'm sorry, she was going on drive after she had got home from work. And basically what would happen is she would drive around, drive around, drive around, drive around, right? Come to find out. So this person, her husband decided, you know, something's not right. I can tell something's going on. He
bought a voice activated digital recorder and stuck it in the car. I didn't know the I mean, I could imagine those exist. But how did he hook that up without her seeing it? That's my question. What is that even in tail? What like, what is that? I don't know voice activated digital recorder. I'm thinking. So like, it goes to her, it kind of like a Alexa, like, you know how Alexa
recognizes your voice? I don't pretty much what happened from there. He uses this digital recorder to see what was going on the conversations that she was having, at least within the car, and come to find out she had a another life as a she had a another job, apparently, again, like, talking dirty over the phone pretty much. That's not cool at all. Could they tell she's in a car? I mean, aren't you driving around? Could she like you want a cell phone in a car? Like, I don't know.
Me personally, if I'm in a cell phone, or if I'm talking to somebody and they're in a cell phone in the car, I can tell, right? Like you could tell. Maybe she had one of those heads. You real fancy headset. I don't know. But yeah, apparently, it was this whole secret side business. And on top of that, he found out that she was cheating with about three other dudes as well. That's horrible. So it was a whole secret life that got uncovered by this voice activated
digital recorder. That's wild. She belonged to the streets. It'd be one thing if like he was at least getting the benefits of the money that came in with it. But if that's not the case, yeah, she belonged to the streets. It's a private bank account. It's a private bank account. Here's this last one. This person was in the Navy, and they went on deployment or if for those of you don't know, basically, either going out to the field to do training, or they might be going to war,
just depending on what time it is and what's going on. So they go on deployment for about six months after recently being engaged. And one day, get a letter from the fiancee's best friend, saying that she caught her fiance and the best friend's boyfriend together. So apparently, what ended up happening is they ended up writing back and forth and eventually comes out how she caught him. And apparently, the fiancee begged her best friend, not to tell her, how are you still
friends with this person? Here's my question. Are you still friends with this person after you cheat on them with with the fiance? But anyways, so when this guy gets back from deployment, goes back to the States, the plan was to play it off like he didn't know anything, right? Like they were just going to play it off. But too many of the friends like apparently the moment he got home too many of his friends intercepted them and said that it wasn't just the one guy. And so
they went through this whole thing. And eventually goes and meets with the fiance and made this whole confrontational. And pretty much what happened was she felt that she acknowledged that she cheated, but she felt that she still deserved the ring because of the work that she put in prior to when she cheated in the relationship. So wait, wait, wait, you're telling me that a military spouse or fiance cheated on their person while they were deployed? This is just a rare case. Wow, I can't
believe that happened. Well, if there's anything that's if there's anything that's good about that story, the best friend and this guy once he got back to the United States that kind of had a revenge fling kind of thing and apparently it worked out and they're now married for 32 years. Oh, good for them. Good for them, I guess. So out of the street dweller comes the queen of the situation. It's like what our friend C Rizzle said. He said the army just has it so easy for you to
get a divorce. It's just standard. It's just standard. Walk in, walk out, same day, sign this, sign that. Pretty nuts, man. Pretty nuts. I just can't believe that for me, people are just real sick. It's one thing if you're going to cheat, right? But this person, this lady, was cheating on her fiance with her best friends. That's messed up, man. How can you do that to your best friend, too? That's just terrible. But obviously, not great. Sick people in this world. But yeah, man,
she belong, she belong to the streets. Are you ready for the next segment, which is the Dota Hoist? What do you got for us? So this one's actually going to be interesting. We haven't done this before, but it's almost like a, I mean, I kind of know, but maybe I'll get to learn something, but it's almost like a getting to know you about some music. Okay. And what music you like. It's just going to be real quick. We'll just kind of talk about it. I will just say upfront, not Taylor
Swift. I figured that much, but we're there on that front too. So pretty much what I'm thinking is I'm going to name the genre. And we're going to talk about the favorite song from the genre as a whole, and the favorite artist from the, and here's what I'm saying. Here's what I'm saying all time, like, and here's my gauge on it, you might gauge a little different, but my gauge on it was if I had to say, what have I played on my Spotify? Or what have I played and listened to the most
out of my whole life consistently in that genre? Okay. Something like that. So kind of a precursor. So, you know, the first one is going to be hip hop rap, and we can even throw R&B in there if you want it. If you got an R&B, you can't throw R&B in there because that's a two separate. Okay. Then we'll just do rap and hip hop. What's, uh, so what's the favorite song and artist for you, Chris?
And if you need time to think about it, I can do mine. Rap and hip hop, probably the most that I listen to. That's so hard. It's either got to be, uh, T.I., Ludacris, or, um, man, that's just our, or GZ. It's probably, am I, am I, my song, my favorite song? Oh, I got two of them as a whole. I'm so hood or put on by GZ. Those are good ones. Those are good ones. So mine are kind of close. Um, my favorite song of all time. It has to be, and it's a GZ song too, is I Love It by Young GZ,
because I think I played that, because I was listening to that the other day. I think that's been probably one in every hip hop rap playlist I've ever had, and it gets played pretty consistently. My favorite artist, it took me a while, but I'll tell you this much. Um, future is pretty consistent. Like most artists, like even Young GZ, I used to love Young GZ, and I really wanted to answer that as, as my favorite here, but at the same time, I really
don't like a lot of his new stuff. I like a lot of his new stuff. There was a kind of a certain point where it's like, and I'm done. At least future, future, like now, he sounds a little goofy, but who don't? Like he's kind of bearable goofy. Yeah, you're a, you're a future kind of guy. Yeah, I think future is pretty good. Um, all right. So the next one, we're going to talk about country music, kind of swing to the opposite end of the pendulum song and artist. Probably song,
neon moon, probably. Um, country is like a loaded question because I'm like, man, if you're talking about like old country, what kind of country, right? Cause you got what kind of country? Yeah. Probably favorite artist maybe is Alan Jackson. I think I have the most country songs of his on my Spotify playlist, but probably neon moon or Chattahoochee by Alan Jackson. Lay down, yeah. I like that song too. Um, so for me, you're going to think it's
pretty, pretty darn obvious of what I'm about to pick. Conway Twitty. Yeah. Conway Twitty is the artist and I'll say this. This was not because of family guy. It's because Conway is an iconic freaking, like he just, he just is like, he just a Lou just oozes seventies country. I don't know. It's just, it's a different era. I think he reminds you of some of your family members. I think that's why. Yeah, maybe that's the case. Maybe that's the case. Uh, we'll talk about that uncle
some other time. Um, my favorite song though is, uh, you're going to laugh hard too. It's country bumpkin by Cal Smith. I don't know why. I really don't know why that it's, it's the lyrics that get me every time. I don't know. Oh, you know, it's the one that gets me every time. Oh, please don't take the girl. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, he's daddy. He's taking that country bumpkins of sad song too. I'll tell you this much. Uh, you know what country song kind of makes me mad and this is a 90s
country song, but, uh, it's the one where it's, um, that ate my truck in her drive. Like something about the next line after that, it ain't my trip in her drive. It ain't my day tonight. What the heck is it ain't my day tonight. I'm sorry. It ain't my night tonight. You could have put anything else that would have fit there, but it ain't my day tonight. Okay. Sure. That's what we're gonna go with. All right. Uh, if some producer let that out, um, that's, that's, that's my little beef on it.
You know, it's really hard whenever I was thinking about these and narrowing it down to who would I save my absolute favorite is. You got like three or four that's like, you know, it could kind of go a few different directions pretty quick, but, um, I agree with that Alan Jackson. I actually like Alan Jackson a lot. He's got, he's got a good variety of music. Of course I'm going to be cliche and say George straight to a certain extent. I don't know. George Jones was good. Like he, he was the old
geezer type. Anyways, um, it's like, did you ever watch Jean Altree? Anyways. Um, all right. So next one, uh, and this one's a little interesting. We're not going to do artists for this one. Let's talk about our favorite us patriotic songs. Like what, what were some that like stood up and it's not just one. Oh yes. I already know. I'm telling you. God bless the USA. Yeah. Because of how cheesy it is. That is my favorite us patriotic song. You know what mine is and it's very, very
close and I get yours. That one was on my list too. I'm proud to be an American because I'm proud. Yeah. Go do that's the same one. That's the one that I'm talking about. God bless the USA. That's the one that I'm talking about. Wait, what is it called though? Officially though, God bless the USA. So I'm proud to be in America. I'm looking it up. Yeah. I was like, hold on now, because that's where it gets confusing. Cause I'm like, now that I think of it, the lyrics are the
same, but I'd be thinking of it with no, it's, it's God bless the USA. That's the title of the song. Okay. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was a blunder. Anyways, but yeah, no, that one's, that one's absolutely my favorite. Is it because of the little music video they used to show at the beginning of school that was really, really cheesy too, that went with it? As well as I do like the Marine battle. Yeah, that one's good too. I've had to hear the army one too much.
I will say this though, our national anthem be kicking, especially the symbols. The symbol action in the national anthem is under fricking rated, especially rockets, red glare, you know, you got the big drum, you got the symbol. It's great. I don't know. My wife will tell you too, weird part is, and the reason I threw this genre in here is because if I get really stressed out or something is going on, I'll just start singing like patriotic. And she's like, why does it always
go to patriotic music? Maybe it relaxes you. Maybe growing up on a military base. It's like, I don't know. If I don't, if I'm not in control, America is in control. And if I'm thinking that way, then we all have problems. All right. No, no, God's in control. God's in control. If you want, we can, we can move on. Or if you want to throw another genre on there, we can too. I will tell you two genres. All right. I'm going to say, because rock is very broad, I'm going to say my
favorite punk rock band is Breaking Benjamin. Or I do like the song, My Own Worst Enemy by LIT, Sleep It With The Light Song. And then my favorite R&B artist, I got to say it. I know he has a controversial past, but Chris Brown. I have a lot of Chris Brown on my Spotify. Oh, I thought you were about to say R Kelly. No, no, sir. No, sir. That's a bad word. We don't, we don't say R. You know, I'm going to admit one thing. I do have a GZ song in my playlist that features R Kelly.
And it's just like, I don't like it, but I like the song. So we got to keep it. Okay. You can separate the music from the artist. It's okay. Well, and I figure this is how you make, this is how you help yourself sleep at night. You know, I figure he's just featured in it, right? So it's not that big of a deal. All right, man, you ready to move on to the next segment, which is our improv segment? Yeah, let's go, bro. Let's do it. Improv it. Let's improv it up. So it's our mystery donut, our
improv segment. So it is our time to do random, the randomizer. So we're going to do a free improv with the randomizer. So we're going to take three sections here. I know you can't see it, but let's try to do, let's see, what do you think about a profession, a location, and an emotion? Yep, let's do it. The profession is a waiter or waitress. Okay. At a funeral in progress. Oh, that's, and they're stressed. Oh, they're stressed. Okay. All right. You want a starter?
You want me to start here? I can go ahead and start. All right, go for it. Do you really think they're going to pay us all this much for serving all these stiffs sitting here? I mean, I mean, look at this. It's not even, I'm so it just, oh man. And they asked for the buffet and they called us and they said, Oh, we need this. Oh, we need this at three hours. Pack up and go. So the manager's like, I need you to go. It's just, it's just so stupid. And you know, my thing is,
I don't understand why we have to be the ones to go do this. It's a funeral, right? Like, why do we have to be all nice and catering to a funeral? Oh my goodness. Don't even talk to me about the buffet right now. The fruit salad has too many grapes in it. My croissants are barely done and I can just barely get this chicken to be medium rare. It's just, it's just so, it's just, listen, my anxiety has been flaring up all day. First of all, that solar eclipse really freaked
me out, man. Okay. Cause whenever I was here, maybe that's why this person died. Oh wait, as long as I don't have to be there with the body too. Like I hate bodies. I hate bodies. You know, when I was going to church, that Nazarene vow was definitely one that I wanted to take because I didn't want to be nowhere near dead bodies. Oh my gosh. Seriously, Justin, you want to talk about
your anxiety? My anxiety is through the roof. Talk about, you want to talk about anxiety. Talk about how you have to talk to your therapist about how you could not play catch with your dad because he was too busy at work all the time. And now you have a father issue. Okay. Don't talk to me about anxiety. Dang it, taco. You have to bring it up. I'm just sick of it. I'm sick of this place. I was thinking of everything that has to go on. He did every day about a funeral. There's been
a kid or a funeral. Oh my gosh, Justin. Are the quiches out of the oven yet because, oh my gosh, this room is dying. Huh? No pun intended. Here's my question. If, uh, if, if we can't do this, then, you know, what is it really for? Will they, will they give a two for one special on the whole? If I just end it now. Well, that is so depressing. Talk about being a Debbie Downer. Seriously, Justin. Go over there and make sure that the punch is stirred up. I'm going to go over here
and make sure that the beef Wellington is coming out. Dang it, Paco. You know I like to be dramatic. Excuse me. I am the dramatic one. Drama. Yes, me. Hello. Everybody knows the attention's not on me at this funeral. It's on that dead guy in there and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it. Sick of it. And you know what? They asked me to come. I don't understand why they didn't ask, oh, Chris S. to come and do it. He's over there sitting in the front row. I know it was his dad
that died. Okay. But he could be in here and he could be doing the flaming yawns. I mean, that's all I'm saying. We're down a sous chef because his, his dad decided to die. Oh my gosh. Seriously? Yeah. He looks so drunk. Hello. Look alive. All right, man. I was enjoying doing those
improv. So that randomizer is pretty, pretty cool. It gives you kind of some weird ideas that I'll tell you this America after 99 episodes, it gets a little difficult sometimes to keep on writing suggestions and put it into a hat for improv each week because the scenarios and situations, you don't want to repeat them, you know, we want to keep you guys entertained as much as possible. So the randomizer is cool because like it's a great time. We're going to move into our final
segment, which is the E Clare. And that's our new advice. All right, buddy. What do you got for us this week? For my E Clare this week, just remember when things are metered, don't take it personal. And what I mean by that is so many times in life, you know, we've talked about taking breaks and taking time for yourself. We've also talked about, you know, putting boundaries and setting limits for ourselves. When I say metered, I work in the world of IT, right? So the word metered
really means to be cut off or cut short, right? Or, you know, we're not going to ask as much of you, something that I at least deal with. And I don't know about everybody else. But is I've drawn back to certain points and said, you know what, I'm working too hard. I'm going to pull back a little bit, right? But then I get really upset when it's they give somebody else a responsibility or they do. Have you ever experienced that Chris, where it's like, you know what, I'm going to,
I'm going to say, you know what, I need to take a little bit of a break. I'm not going to do that. And what what I'm talking about, and of course, most of the time when we do these E-Clairs, we're talking to ourselves. So I'll just be transparent. You know, it's an occasion at work where I turned down a, like a project, right? I already got so much stuff going on. I had to say no, listen,
I can't take that on right now, right? And that is a okay to do. And if you're at a place where it is not okay to do, start looking elsewhere because it's probably toxic environment anyways. But here's the thing, that project came along, right? I get a little less busy. A very lucrative project comes along a very resume boosting one that looks very good. You're like, ooh, I would like to be on that. But then you go and say, you know, I'm in for that. And they're like, you know,
but you just told them that you need to rest and take a break. And it's frustrating because you go, but but but but but not in this situation like this situation is different. What I'm trying to say with all of that is sometimes it's telling you still need to rest a little bit more. Because I don't know, man, I've been in that situation before. And when you get metered or when you get cut short, you feel like, man, you know, I'm not doing my full potential. But guess what? You heard
how I said a second ago, my workload got less. If I'm being honest, it actually didn't. What made me upset about it was, you know, it's one less thing that I can't say, oh, man, I've got this feather in my cap, right? And that's okay to not do that. And rest instead of doing that. So all that to say this, when you're being limited or when you're being metered because
you've asked for it, take that time. But two, don't get upset. Yeah, it's like a good analogy is probably when your phone is dead and you put it on the charger and you're at 7%. You got your phone charged up to 7%. I don't know how many people let their phone get that low. But, um, me all the time. But your phone is at 7%. You're like, holy crap, I'm going to go watch the game on my phone. Your phone's still only at 7%. So you still can't do it as much as if you were
at 100%. And as much as you may want to watch the game, it's just better off if you keep it on the charger, let it charge up. And guess what? There's always things like replays. There's always ways
that you can still do what you need to do while taking care of yourself at the same time. My eclair is sometimes you have to get back to basics and remind yourself of the why of why you're doing things, especially if you're doing things like a goal or maybe you're trying to start your own business or you have a job career that you really want to pursue and it's your dream,
whatever it is, your dream or like I said, your business or whatever it is. Sometimes you just got to remember why am I doing this because you'll get caught up in the grind of it of trying to make things happen. Life will get the way you'll get burdened down, you'll get discouraged. And if you can always remember the why of why you do stuff, then it helps you motivate you and push you and be like, you know what? I'm starting this business. You know what? I may have had failures.
This may have not been going the way that I wanted it to go, but you know what? I really have a passion for whatever your business is and that's why I'm doing this and that'll help give you those those recharges and those moments where you want to quit when you want to give up. So just make sure you always go back to the why and remind yourself the reason why you're doing things. And I hope you in those moments when things are kind of down or you're kind of bleep. Heck yeah.
Great stuff. All right, man. TV trash can dot com. That's TV trash can dot com. Come check us out. So by this point, I'm not going to say that I'm really, really close to a lot of stuff. But listen, I'll put it this way guys, I'm a perfectionist. I want to make sure that it looks really, really crisp, really, really clean. So I'm putting up I'm doing my best on these playing videos. I got several of them actually going to come out. I'm going to stagger them. So my trip to Nebraska
will have that one up too. So it'll be good TV trash can dot com. Come check it out. We also got all the good stuff on there, all the show stream and all that good stuff. Really, really appreciate you from wherever you're listening to from Spotify, from Apple Music,
from RSS, from wherever YouTube. Please join us for next Monday for 100th episode. I promise we're not going to do what all the other TV shows do for their 100th episode and just put different sound bites from the other episodes because that's what a lot of TV shows do. Have you ever done like I always skip those episodes where I'm like, yes, I've been seeing this all season long. I don't want to watch the best moment.
The only ones that I think is a little different. Have you ever seen the ones where it's like maybe they'll do one of all the deleted scenes? Like I'm thinking of primarily the only one I've seen it done on is who's line is it anyway? Right? They've done a, when they were in Britain, they actually did a series. It was like the series finale one or whatever. And pretty much it was, yeah, it was all the ones that didn't actually make it on TV, but were like still funny.
And I thought that was pretty cool. It's like, do that. You know, I want to see, I want to see stuff that necessarily hasn't been done. So yeah, man, 100th episode, we got some great stuff planned. So come back and check it out for a few surprises, see what's going to be happening. And then just very shortly after that, we'll be celebrating two years, two years in November. So it'll be really, really, I mean, it's downhill. It's real quick. I can't even believe it's been almost two years.
And I can't believe we about to hit triple digits, something else to my man. I'll just say this. It's incredible. Triple digits means after we get past that point, we can never go past double digits ever again. It's going to be great. Well, I don't have anything left. You got anything left? No, man, I'm just over here stating the obvious with some things. So, hey, we'll just take this donut box out to the trash because obviously we're just picking at crumb.
So I'm Micah. And I'm Chris. And this has been the donut box podcast. Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind. And next to me, my soon to be the one I left behind. And Lord, it's killing me to see her crying. She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind.
