Love you.

Merry Christmas to you.
Happy holidays to you.
If you don't celebrate Christmas, some people don't, or they celebrate it, but they don't care about Jesus or whatever.
Or, you know, they don't, you know, I don't care if you make, some people celebrate Lloyd Christmas and that's fine too.
You know, it's whoever your deity is.
People have different deities and leaders.
Some people love, you know, Jesus.
Some people love Buddha.
You know what I'm saying?
There's different deities that people believe in.
Papa John, some people, two mediums.
And a two-leader of sprite is their Lord and Savior.
People have different things that they love.
Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas.
Yeah, here we are.
I can't believe we made it this far, man.
We're traveling into the future.
It's the end of 2023.
Time keeps on ticking.
Into the future.
I'm going to play a couple little Christmas tunes.
This is how I do it this time of year.
Some of y'all know that.
So let's hear a couple of lul.
Yeah, that's very romantic kind of Earth.
Soft.
Very ICU Christmas almost.
If somebody's an ICU, you might play this while you bottle feed them.
You're going to be okay.
You're going to be okay, Ronnie.
Just drink you some of this milk, buddy.
Drink you some of this milk.
Yeah, that has a very ICU vibe, I think.
You're going to be fine, Ronnie.
Get you some of this milk, Ronnie.
Get you a little sip of it.
Here's another one.
That one was called A Christmas Miracle by One Man Quartet over there.
And I don't know where that's from or something.
Sounds like some prison shit.
Sounds like some whites in prison did it.
Or some Swedes in prison put that together.
Beautiful track there.
We got something right here.
from Paris for Christmas, it's called.
*Music*
A lot of bagpipes up in that one, huh?
It gets a little too Irish for a little too Irish for me, you know?
It's like, just molest me, father, and quit playing the tunes, you know.
I'll let you touch me if you quit playing the bagpipes there, Donnie.
I'll let you touch me.
What do we else we got here?
That was by Of North.
And here's another one.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Yeah.

Damn, come on.
I lick my lips.
I lick your lips.
Merry Christmas, baby.
Rain is coming out today.
My God, baby, that's what gets me going, baby.
I wanna just...
Girl, love me, Lord.
That's a beautiful track right there.
And that is by Stir Zetterburge over there.
That's called Merry Christmas, Baby, by Stir Sturry.
Sorry, Sturry Zetterburge.
and here's another one we got right here
oh yeah this is like you're pushing a senior citizen uphill in a wheelchair kind of Don't worry, Pop.
We'll get you there.
Don't worry, Pop.
Just keep your feet off the ground, Pop.
We're going to keep pushing ya.
Something very romantic about that one right there.
That's called Going Home for Christmas.
That's home for the holidays over there.
We got this one right here, another one.
Oh, oh, whoa.
No, that's that urban Christmas, baby.
Come on, huh?
Come on, Santa.
Oh, oh, oh, Santa here.
Come on now.

Welcome to Atlanta, Santa.
And he got all his L's over there.
T.I., one of them.
You know that.
You know that, bro.
T.I. La Boosie.
He at the front of the sleigh, Boosie, baby.
Look, he might not even take you.
Boosie take you wherever the fuck he want to take everybody, bruh.
You'll sat and be like, damn, what the fuck?
What we doing down here?
We down here in Baton Rouge, baby.
We down here in Scotlandville, baby.
Boosie done took us off track, baby.
Why me down?
Oh, that's Christmas, baby.
Well, you know, I like to play a little bit of the Christmas tunes in the beginning there off of Epidemic Sound.
They just, and I don't work for Epidemic Sound.
They just, it's a place you can go look and they have different just pieces of music and sounds and you can just go on through them.
But that was Magic Day by Loving Caliber.
And I love that, man.
I would love to be able to have the experience of having different ethnicity Christmases, you know.
Get you a little Chinese Christmas, baby.
Get you a little, you know, pork-fried reindeer or whatever.
Get you a little cut of that.
You know, get you some bok choy on some damn fucking grilled panda or whatever they eat over there.
Merry Christmas.
That's what I'm trying to say.
Sorry.
Stringing up these lights.
I don't know if you remember some of the Christmas sounds, music they had over the years.
That was the thing that got me sometimes.
Just the different sounds, you know.
Then the first day of Christmas.
I don't know if anybody remembers that one.
My true love gave to me five onion rings.
That shit was all like, that was fun.
Like I remember listening to that.
That was always something fun to do with the family, you know.
On the first day, I'm stringing up these lights.
Ha!
Ha!
Crash my...
Blah!
Yeah.
Praise God, baby.
Jesus is born.
Jesus is born.
Always in a manger.
No crib for a bed.
Dude, that's a Christmas music can be a trap.
It'll make you think you can sing.
That's the only problem.
It'll make you think, you know, last Christmas I gave you my heart.
Christmas music will do it.
Merry Christmas to everybody.
Thank you for being a part of my universe.
Sorry if I seem a little bit all over the place.
I got off my medication about 11 days ago.
And so I just, you know, I noticed that even when I was talking with Kat Von D, I was just, I felt, it was hard for me to listen a little bit.
I was just, I felt kind of erratic, you know, or not homo erratic, just, just all over the place.
Yeah.
And I got a buddy that's homo erratic.
That dude, he's all over the place, bro.
And he's also hunting a little bit of that dude meat.
You feel me?
That freaking Christmas stick, baby.
You know what I'm saying, boy?
He hunting a little bit of that winter front rudder, baby.
You know, I'm talking about that winer.
Boy, praise God.
Shout out to everybody that's gay and everything.
Gay.
Chinese, baby, lesbian, everything, baby.
We love you guys.
And black, everybody, European.
I'm just, you know, we all are coexistent here in the universe.
And I'm excited to see us do that even better as time goes forward.
Underneath the Christmas tree.
Yeah, that was Vince Vance and the Valiants.
I like them.
Where else, though?
Silver bells.
Swinging out these lights.
Sorry, guys.
I'm all over the place.
I'm happy that we're hitting the end of the year.
The only guy that's got a lot left to do this year usually is, you know, who I'm talking about.
Your boy, Santa Claus, son.
Everybody this year getting Ozimpic.
That's what Santa's just, Santa's been compromised, bro.
I heard it's just a dude just with a sleigh full of Ozimpic now.
That's what I heard.
It's just some fucking white dude with a sleigh full of Ozimpic, bro.
And they got, I heard they paid up, you know, Big Pharma paid the North Pole enough, they off work this year.
So you just got, you know, it's just going to be a Zempic dealer.
And people's on Ozimpic.
That's, bro, that's that fat crack.
That's what people calling it.
That fat cane, baby.
People on Ozimpic.
People lose.
You'll meet a dude.
He lost 1,100 pounds, bro, in 45 minutes.
Times have changed, man.
It's a lean Christmas, man.
It's just going to be a couple big pharma reps just humming injectables out of a damn Cessna all around the world, man.
Yeah, just, I don't know if Ozippic seems safe, man.
You'll see somebody, they're like, yeah, I'm 38 years old and I'm down to 55 pounds.
Yeah, thank God.
I can fit into a lot of my same clothes I wore in fourth grade.
My skin makes a weird noise when I smile, but other than that, man, I'm doing great.
They start fucking glitching.
They just start, you know, they're like, I'm doing great.
I weigh seven pounds.
I can't remember who I am.
My resting heart rate is two, but I'm doing well.
I'm doing well.
I'm doing well.
I'm on then they start burping.
You ever talk to that Ozimpic user?
You start talking to him and then just they just start blowing bubbles like some somebody you do you'll be talking to an Ozimpic user.
They'll just fucking eat a bug that flew by.
You're like, what the fuck?
And then just the side effects, bro.
Some Ozimpic or Ozimpians or whatever they call them, these motherfuckers, they got some side effects, bro.
They're like, I can't close my eyes or I will shit myself.
They're like, I can't breathe anymore, but I'm doing good.
I lost 46 pounds.
I'm going to heaven.
You're like, what the fuck?
Chill out, Melissa.
You need a fucking little, you need a smoothie, Melissa.
You're fucking losing your shit.
People are shooting up in their cars at lunch.
And no shade there, man.
I'm just clowning.
I'm not trying to hurt nobody's feelings there, but.
Bells will be ringing.
I can't bend my knees anymore.
Every dream I have has Katie Perry in it, but I'm doing better than ever.
Can somebody close my eyes for me so I can get some rest?
I ain't losing my mind.
I try to jump out a window to take my own life, but I only weigh 17 ounces.
So I just floated back down to earth.
Fuck you.
Has anyone seen my children?
But then you have the alternate guy.
You have the guy who's like, man, fuck, Ozempic doesn't even fucking work.
You know, I've taught, you know, I've been on the ship for two years.
I gained a hundred pounds, man.
I gained a hundred, a hundred, a hundred, a hundred, hot, hot, huh, nerd, nerd pounds, man.
You know, and then the guy will blame his wife.
My wife keeps fucking shooting the shit into me.
And I'm fucked, you know.
And then the guy will lick his lips for like 70 minutes, you know, and then pull a fucking beautiful little gum drop out from under his tongue or something.
Or he'll keep a damn butt of scotch up in his mouth and that he'd been sucking on that bitch, you know?
But yeah, I think Santa's just, that's, I don't know if Santa's gonna make it this year.
I think he might have been taken over by big pharma.
I wouldn't be shocked.
But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Santa's on the peptides.
Everybody is.
We all do things and try stuff to want to be different, feel different.
I'm just fascinated by the, you know, I've known women who are driving down to Mexico to get Ozimpic or Osimpic or whatever they got down there, you know.
Oh, homie, you're going to be fucking skinny, homie.
Dog, if you go to prison, you can just right between the bars, homie, you're out of there.
Dog, they got nothing on you, dog.
Yeah, people didn't realize like Ozimpic is just fucking, you're free, homie.
Viva la revolution, papa.
Amy Dufran.
They busted a lady with 60 grams of fake Ozimpic over there outside of a vineyard vines.
You know, and all we can do is pray for her.
but still, it's this is real shit.
It's interesting.
It's an interesting, interesting phenomenon, is what it is.
That's a damn phenomenon, you know.
And people are using it.
And people are, some people are using it healthily and some people are not, it seems like.
Just like anything.
You know, I had times in my life where I use steroids healthily, times where I use steroids unhealthily.
You know, dude, I bought a buddy of mine who drowned.
He drowned because he, well, he, he, uh, he was trying to hide from the police underwater.
And you can't.
You can do it, but you can only do it for about 40 seconds.
And he drowned.
And, but yeah, I bought some shit from him once.
Steroids or something.
I don't know what it was.
Gave me a full body rash.
It made it hurt when I would blink my eyes.
And if you've never had that, it's...
Because every time my eyes would touch each other, it would like...
Ugh.
Because you don't realize how many times you blink your eyes and you're just like, oh, so that shit was horrible.
I had a full body rash, dude.
That was crazy.
My arms, they looked like I had oven mitts on my hands.
They were just, but I kept using the shit.
I used all 11 weeks of it.
And yeah, it was, so we all try things.
We all try stuff, you know.
That was crazy.
I can't believe I did that.
Made me wet the bed at night, too.
And I was already wet in the bed.
So it was just, it was just a lot, you know, it's just real piss heavy time, baby.
Praise God.
Merry Christmas, guys.

I can't thank you enough for just letting me be a part of your life.
Or even if you don't even listen, fuck, even just keeping it in your thing and or just letting me bother you and I'll be a part of your life, dude.
Like I'm some kind of damn, you know, like I'm just some kind of, you know, like I'm athlete's foot or something.
Just thanks.
Thanks for supporting me because you've helped this whole, we've gotten to do interesting stuff and talk to some unique folks.
And I think because people have paid attention or tuned in or spent time since we've spent time together on here that we're going to get to have other unique people.
And that's kind of crazy because I don't, dude, if I were me, I wouldn't let these people talk to me, but they keep doing it.
So, yeah, I'm excited and it's just been a, it's been a lot of fun.
And I hope it's been fun for you too.
And yeah.
And I just want you to know that I think about that.
I think about making it making it interesting and fun for you guys.
And yeah, I'm just I'm just grateful, man.
You know, and I feel a little bit happy about it too.
I mean, I feel happy, but I've just really, in my heart, I feel, I think, just thankful.
You know, that's what I feel like.
Yeah, I'm trying to, sorry, I'm trying to explain how I feel and feel at the same time.
And for me, that's always been kind of a tough thing to do.
You know, it's tough sometimes to feel and explain how you're feeling at the same time.
But yeah, happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you guys.
And yeah, I just can't believe what a year dude.
We got to talk to Hulk Hogan, that was crazy.
And, um, who else, dude, Dana White, that was bananas and inspiring.
Who else, man?
Stavros and John Verveke, just interesting people, you know.
Everybody, Drewski, just Caleb Presley, man, who's just a dear friend of mine.
Some of these people have become just, I don't know.
It's just all been crazy, you know.
Yeah, I got off my medicine, man.
I got off my medication.
I take Lexapro and I don't take a large dose.
I think it was 20, and I got down to 10, and then I'm off.
And it's been interesting because I've had a lot more feelings, man.
I've had a lot more feelings.
And some of it I'm grateful for because I was just not having any feelings.
You know, I was just not having any feelings.
Everything was kind of fine, you know, and so I just wasn't having any feelings.
And so I was like, I need some feelings, man.
You know, I'm making sure that I have like, just have friends and stuff that know that I'm off of it.
So if anything seems too crazy.
So I'm just trying to let my feelings just kind of settle or just get back to like a baseline.
So I'm hopeful about that.
And I've been making sure I do a lot of running and stuff to just keep my energy up.
So yeah, I just want to kind of have some freaking feelings.
Dude, on antidepressants, I don't have any feelings.
People are like, hey, how do you feel?
And I'll just be like, yeah, bro.
You know, I'm just not having a lot of feelings, I think, on antidepressants.
So I want to have some more feelings so then I can make some more decisions based on how I feel.
So I think that's something that's really like a new adventure.
Yeah, we've had a lot of beautiful calls and we're going to get into some of those.
Yeah, what do we have here?
This one says, what's up with the 12 Days of Christmas right here, Letirit?
Hey, Theo, it's Johnny B. John, and Christmas is coming up.
And you know that song, The 12 Days of Christmas, the dude's giving his woman a bunch of stuff.
And in that song, he gives his woman 17 birds, including six geese.
I don't think a woman wants 17 birds.
Bro, it's a euphemism, dog.
It's a euphemism, man.
That's what I'm saying, baby.
They want that body bird, homie.
That waner.
That skeet swan, baby.
You know what I'm talking about?
That fucking slurp warbler, dog.
That's what they want.
That red-billed blast Oriole homie.
You feel me?
That skeet parakeet, homie.
You know what I'm saying?
Brock, suck me off.
Brock, tuck me off, boy.
me off.
Oh, shut me off.
Oh, God.
Shuck me, shuck me.
Shuck, shuck me.
Come on.
Shuck me off.
Suck me off.
That's what they talking about, baby.
That bust mallard, homie.
You feel me?
That's what they, you know.
So that's what you got to understand.
It's a euphemism, man.
This is a euphemism.
They want that thing, baby.
They want that yummin' bird, dog.
That nutneck body ostrich, baby.
That bust mallard, homie.
That's what they want.
That's what they want.
So you got to plan ahead there.
All right, let's take another call.
What up, Theo?
This is Hunter.
I'm just calling.
I've got a bit of a dilemma right now.
Do tail, brother.
Onward.
Recently, you know, I was making out with this girl, and we was making out for probably, you know, one minute, and I just busted a nut right there.
Oh, yeah.
And I don't know what to do.
So I was just calling to kind of get your guidance on that.
And, you know, I'm just don't really know what to do.
Oh, yeah, buddy.
Well, look, that's just some nut, homie.
That's all.
You know, there's nothing.
You're not a bad guy.
You don't need to be scared or nothing.
You're doing fine.
I think you might, you know, who knows?
If you were only making out, you might have a damn, your pH balance might be off or something.
You might be like a plus six or something.
You know, you might want to get your damn levels checked or something, or at least have somebody do that on you while you look at a nudie mag or something, you know, because, you know, you want to make sure you're not just vibrating so much if you get around a,
you know, a nipple that you're just, you're just sprouting and creaming all the time for no reason, you know, just sprouting and creaming, you know, for just, you know, you don't want somebody to flip on a light switch in a distance and you fucking just fucking put your own eye out with that with that bust, homie.
That fucking bust.
But yeah, you're doing fine, buddy.
I think, yeah, your levels might be up or down or something.
You might not have, you might, could have been something you ate.
You know, sometimes if I have some, what are they called, like zesty little, like little pieces?
It's like a green bean, but it's fucking, it's for violence, you know, it's like peppers, like red peppers.
You know, I'll shoot a robin off a fence, you know, if I, if I start popping off after that.
But you're probably going to be fine, buddy.
And it's okay.
I think God just wants to warn you, says, hey, buddy, you're going to be really, you know, you're going to be on the front lines for us because you like to shoot and just be careful.
So, and second of all, I'm proud of you, man.
I'm proud of you for ejaculating.
You know, too many men feel ashamed when they eat jack or whatever.
And you out here busting and creaming and creaming and busting over there with your lady.
And it's that time of year, too.
It's winter, dude.
If you can't, if you ain't camming in the winter, buddy, what are you doing?
You know, I don't think, you know, that's a winter sport, buddy.
So you out there just stirring your own eggs, buddy.
Do your shit, daddy.
Get out there and fucking get your shit, boy.
Bust out, homie.
Young killer.
But yeah, brother, I love you, man.
And yeah, you might just have that extra energy in you.
You ever see somebody that rub their feet on the carpet and then they come up and fucking zap you like that?
That might be you, boy.
You might just have you might just, your pH balance might be a little high.
So we want to get that shit checked out, buddy.
Or have somebody take your pulse while you gird off, you know, and see what happens to you, buddy.
You're doing good.
Love you, daddy.
Merry Christmas.
Bells will be ringing.
They say it's Christmas.
The sign is Christmas.
I love that.
I love that season, man.
What else?
Let's take a call that happens right here.
Yo, Mr. Vaughn.
Man, on your recent podcast, you were talking about you don't.
You're afraid to talk about certain topics because you don't know enough.
You got to take that pressure off yourself, man.
You don't know nothing.
I mean, this may even be cognitively deficient.
I mean, you don't even know.
You just ain't got to know nothing, man.
You just ask questions.
You just ask people's questions.
Do yourself, such as questions, man.
You think you have to know nothing?
You just throw some stuff out there, man.
You're just trying to figure it out like the rest of us.
Don't worry about that, man.
You just keep doing your thing.
Don't be afraid.
You mean a lot to a lot of people, man.
You're making a big impact.
The more courageous you can be, the more people will follow that.
And that's what we need.
Thanks, man.
Thanks, dude.
You know, I think, yeah, I don't know what I'm doing.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you, man.
Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing, man.
I know I'm trying, but yeah, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.
Yeah, I'm just being, I'm just being a human.
I'm just trying my fucking best, man.
You know, most of the time, I don't know if sometimes maybe I'm even not.
But yeah, I think I've just always felt so much pressure, man.
I've always felt so much pressure.
So get it right.
You better fucking get it right.
You know?
I've always felt like I wasn't like I had to get it right.
Or there was no value to me or to whatever, to whatever I was doing.
It's like if it's not perfect, there was no value.
And so I think that's still how I operate sometimes.
Like, I got to get everything perfectly.
Yeah, and it's just impossible, man.
And I'm tired of like, yeah.
Thank you, man.
Yeah, I think I did need to hear something like that.
You better get it right.
That's what I would always kind of feel like to myself.
You better get this shit.
You better get this right.
That's the voice inside of me.
It never had any patience.
It never had any patience with me.
The voice inside of me never had any patience with me.
And you know what?
I don't have a lot of patience with myself either.
Which is kind of a which is a good thing.
I deserve to have some more patience with myself.
I deserve to have some more patience with myself.
Yeah.
I deserve to have a little more patience with myself.
Yeah.
So thank you, man.
I think I needed to hear that.
I do feel like I can't do it all.
I do feel like I don't know what I'm doing.
I do feel like I'm trying my best.
I do feel like Sometimes I'm doing okay.
I do feel like sometimes I'm not doing okay.
I feel like I feel like I'm also never going to live up to the expectations that I've set for myself because I set unrealistic expectations.
Yeah, and I think I set unrealistic expectations because if I never meet him, then I'll always be not good enough.
Yeah.
Yeah, thanks for just making me think about questioning myself too, just asking questions.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with if I don't know.
There's nothing wrong with me if I'm not perfect.
There's nothing wrong with me.
You know, it's okay.
Yeah, I've just always put so much pressure on myself to be perfect.
I've always put so much pressure on myself to be perfect.
Man, yeah, shit makes me angry when I even think about it.
Like, you better fucking be perfect.
Or you don't mean anything.
You know, it's some old story in my head or something.
I'm not saying that right now to myself.
I'm saying I'm trying to just feel that story.
You know, you better.
Yeah, like if I can be perfect, I'll show them that I mean something.
Yeah, if I can just do things perfectly, they'll see that I have value, you know, I think.
And then you never can do things perfectly.
It's impossible, right?
And so then you're just, I'm always setting myself up to not feel good enough, right?
Because I make my expectations of myself unrealistic.
And so I can never achieve them.
And so I'm always just not enough for myself, you know?
So thank you, bro.
Thank you for that message.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like, man, I got to get this right or I'm wasting everybody's time.
That's how I feel a lot of times, too.
I think that's where I'm just trying to say where some of that pressure feels like to me.
It's like you're wasting everybody's time.
Yeah, I wish you would.
Yeah, I think it just, that goes back to old stuff for me or whatever.
You're wasting everybody's time.
You better get this right.
Yeah, look, yeah, I appreciate you just saying that, man.
I think sometimes I got to think about that stuff.
And this year has been, I think one thing that's been tough, I haven't had enough time to fucking think or feel shit.
I just haven't had enough time to feel anything, man.
Everything's just been so busy.
And I think the world's just so busy now.
You know?
I mean, yesterday was one of the first times I went to an AA meeting.
At the end, I went to eat with the guys at the meeting because I had some time.
I was like, I don't have anything to do.
Fuck, I fucking enjoyed that.
Yeah, sometimes we're so damn busy.
We don't even fucking know.
I don't even know myself.
I'll get to the damn end of life and I'll sit there and be like, hey, who were you, buddy?
What'd you like to do?
I'll finally start asking myself the question because I just jumped on the train.
I just jumped on the zip line.
Yeah, but thank you, man.
Thank you for helping me think.
Yeah, just ask myself questions, man.
I used to love doing that.
And I just.
Yeah, it is just important.
We got another call that came in here.
Let me see what we can do.
Hey, Theo.
I was just wondering what, like, the thoughts in your head sound like.
Because, like, mine, mine sound like you.
I ain't even gonna lie.
Like, me and my best friend and her dad were talking about it.
And all of our thoughts sound like you.
So I was just wondering what your thoughts in your head sounded like.
All right, bye.
Jesus loves you.
Oh, thank you there, little lady.
Little kitty cat.
Jesus loves me.
Thank you.
I hope he does.
And I hope he don't love me too much either.
You know, some of these, they got these, you know, these, you know, some people like Jesus.
They don't know what Jesus is doing.
They just think he being kind of zesty or whatever out there.
But I don't know if I think that.
You know, I just, I love him.
And yeah, I hope he loves me.
I hope he, but yeah, if he shows up and he's, if he gets a little too zesty, I just wonder, you know, if he's like, you know, the last supper was fucking, you know, I don't know.
I just, yeah, I love him.
Yeah.
Just tell him I love him.
And yeah, I don't know what the thoughts in my head.
I don't know.
My thoughts, a lot of times, I don't know what they sound like.
Some of them are fucking pissed off and some of them aren't even wearing anything.
I'll tell you that.
And yeah, some of my thoughts, they just are like looking for me.
That's what I feel like.
My thoughts are looking for me and I'm looking for them.
But we're just, we can't do it.
But yeah, I love you.
Thank you.
All right.
We got a call here.
All right.
So I got a question.
My name's Big Willie.
What's up, Big Willie?
Let's hear more.
I'm trying to save up for a new dirt bike, but I don't know how to get some money.
So I'm just calling for that.
You know what I'm saying?
Got any tips for me?
No?
All right.
You're trying to.
So, thank you, Willie, for the call.
You're trying to save up for a new dirt bike, but you don't know, you don't have any money.
And you're calling, you're wondering how to get some money.
Get a job.
I think get a job, homie.
That's what I would do.
I'd get a fucking job, Willie.
That's how they do it.
You get a job.
They give you some money.
You get a dirt bike.
You get into an accident on your dirt bike and you are in intensive care for a long time.
And that's how it works, man.
That's how life works.
So I think, yeah, you just got to stay on the path and fill out an application.
Willie, praise God, baby.
Good luck, Bub.

Let's take one more call here, man.
Hey, what's up, Theo?
My name's Trevor.
I'm from Kentucky.
What's up, Trevor, baby?
T-Rever, baby.
That's how you break that down onward.
Man, I just celebrated nine months of sobriety from drugs and alcohol, man.
My life's going great, you know?
It really, really is, man.
I fell in love with a girl.
Oh, come on.
I don't know if she fell in love with me or not yet.
We'll see.
But I'm definitely in love with her.
Let's go.
I don't know, man.
I just wanted to say that, man.
And I'm thankful for you and your podcast, man.
You bring a lot of light to a lot of people's lives.
Gang, baby, that's it.
And Trevor got it, baby, nine months.
Trenta y seis semanas, baby.
That's 36 weeks, daddy.
Trevor got it, baby, nine months.
Let's go, T-Rever.
And you got to say it, baby.
Yes, say it.
That's a part of this call I really adapted with right here.
But I'm definitely in love with her.
And I don't know, man.
I just wanted to say that, man.
And I'm thankful for you and your podcast.
I just wanted to say that.
That's the thing.
Yeah, I don't say things.
I don't even speak my own damn joy sometimes.
I don't even let myself hear my own joy.
Yes.
Say that.
Say that, man.
You got nine months.
You found somebody you like.
That's powerful, daddy.
You hear that.
You hear that, man.
You hear that.
Man, I'm just.
Let me think about any other.
Man, today's episode has been just all over the place, guys.
I've had to start and stops a bunch of times.
It's just been a tough time for me to get like a good flow going.
You know, I just feel kind of rattled, and that's okay.
I feel, you know, I don't know.
It's okay.
Everything's okay.
It's okay.
You know, it's okay.
It's been a fun year, and I'm excited to see what next year could be like.
And I hope that this holiday season is something that you make nice for yourself.
You know, I always realize that, and I always forget, too, that if I want the holidays or anything really to be special, I have to be a part of making it mean something.
You know, I need to show up.
I need to be activated and be a part of bringing the joy and not just expecting to take the joy or receive the joy.
I need to show up with something.
It don't have to be something, an item or something.
I mean, sometimes it can be, but I need to, if something's going to mean something, then it'll mean even more if I show up with the idea that I'm going to make this mean something, you know?
And that could be if you're going to take a ride with your child somewhere and do something nice with them or go shop, you know, or if you're going to spend some time with your loved one and y'all are going to go do something and, you know, to just try and make a little extra effort to make it mean something.
You know, a lot of times in my life, I've had opportunities to make things mean something and I'll choose to kind of just be a curmudgeon or be quiet or try not to have fun.
Sometimes I get afraid to have, to be a little bit more joyous, you know.
You know, so I think that's something that I wish for this holiday season is that if you're like me, sometimes when there's a chance to be to joke or to have, sometimes I'll just get a,
you know, I'll kind of shut down or I want to, you know, if somebody else asked me to do something, I won't want to do, you know, I only want to kind of do my ideas, you know, it's like, so I just hope that this holiday season,
I'm going to try to be a little bit more like if somebody else, you know, I'm going to just try to go with the flow and help the flow have a stronger current, you know, with my own attitude.
That's really what I mean.
I'm going to try that, you know, because it helps me too.
It helps me when I get outside of myself a little bit, you know, and yeah, so I'm going to try that a little bit more this year.
That's something that I'm going to look forward to do.
Yeah.
So instead of just continuing to ramble, I just, yeah, I want to try to show up a little bit more this Christmas and be a part of the joy a little bit more.
And even if the game is on, do things that are engaging with people I care about.
Take a walk with somebody or fucking tickle some little bitch.
I don't care.
Do something that is, you know.
I just want to try to contribute a little bit more this year if I can.
That's one of my Christmas wishes for myself.
Yeah.
And that's it, dude.
And that's really, really it, bro.
Silver bells.
Silver bell.
It's Christmas time in the city.
Yeah, I don't know.
I got a bunch more things on my mind, but I think I just, I just, I'm going to, I don't know.
I don't know.
I think I just, I think I'm just going to just sign off for the year, man.
You know?
Just sign off for the year.
We've done, it's been, it's been quite a year, you know, and just, I'm glad we got to be alive this year together.
And, yeah.
Yeah, I really am.
And that's all I got.
Sorry to just keep dragging it.
I kind of, it's kind of like the end of a date, I feel like a little bit.
You don't know where you want it to, you know, like you're like just standing in the yard kind of talking, but nobody kind of knows what's going to happen or whatever.
So that's a little bit how I feel.
But that's exciting because that's a little bit of energy that's like kind of fun, you know, and so that's a good way to close things out, man.
I want to let you know, as always, the hotline is 985-664-9503.
And yeah, just thank you so much for being a part of my life and for letting me be a part of your life.
Thank you to our producers, Zach and Nick and Ben and Colin for helping get this show done every year, every 52 times a year, week, every week.
And yeah, thank you guys.
And yeah, I guess that's kind of it.
I'm just fucking rambling.
I don't know.
I had an impossible biscuit or something like seven hours ago, and then I've just been having some Celsius.
So I'm basically, I'm just like everybody else.
So that's it.
Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year's to you guys.
And yeah, Thank you for being a part of my life and letting me be a part of yours.
And I love you.
And I look forward to seeing you guys in the new year.
