Happy, Everything's fine, Happy Friday. Welcome to the Thought Shower. John
is my name, I'm Shelby.You are Shelby. I am here.
We are back to back days doingthe podcast in the same room. Look
at that. It's it's a weirdthing because the podcast really kind of hit
his stride during the PANDEMI when wewere like, hey, lockdown two weeks
(00:23):
to flatten the curve holes. Wecan do a show every single day for
two weeks. That's fourteen shows.We did our best, and then we
did it for almost a year.I feel like, no, it was
like summer. I don't think ofit. I think it was longer than
that. No, okay, itwas definitely. It was definitely summer.
We did it every day. Didit felt longer because it was? That
(00:44):
was a lot. Hey, acouple of things quick. If you hearing
this on Friday and you're in DCtonight, tonight and tomorrow, Actually,
our good friend DMed is taping acomedy special at the Comedy Loft in DC.
This is really cool. I thinktickets for like ten bucks if you
use code at YMS, which isalso cool. But it's as far as
like a behind the scenes thing ina comics career. It's a really big
(01:06):
moment for him because he's filming thewhole thing, and then this will hopefully
get him writing jobs on shows.And it's kind of like he's worked.
We've known D for seven years.He's worked seven years for this moment.
So if you're looking for something todeal date night this weekend the DC Comedy
Loft, go see DMed DMed dotcom. He's also just one of the
(01:26):
nicest dudes. He's the most genuineperson. Yeah, top five most generom
people I've ever met. Where Sometimesand this is maybe my problem, Like
sometimes if I haven't talked to Din a minute, I talked to him
again, I go, this guy'sa douche, And I go, oh,
no, no, because I'm usedto people being that fake. Yeah,
I mean, but like, ohno, he's actually just a good
person all the time. He's justa really good person. Is that my
(01:48):
problem? Or somebody's really nice,I assume they want something, Yeah,
do you have that as well?I mean sometimes but with people like D
because like for example, my coworker Mike Keith in Atlanta, Like,
he's also so so genuine that you'relike your favorite DJ. He is my
favorite DJ that I just like,I love it just makes me feel good.
People like that, are ye moresusceptible? If dude or a girl
(02:10):
is really friendly to you, whatare you more like red flag about?
Um? It kind of depends onthe situation because like it can it can
go either way. Where like ifa guy is overly like positive towards me
about something like because I know Deed'spersonality and I know that he genuinely means
it. But if that would besomebody else just out of nowhere doing that
and it's a guy, I mightthink they're being condescending or I just think
(02:31):
more like trying to hit on you. Oh, I would think condescending.
Okay, yeah, have you experiencedthat recently or no? No not.
I don't think so. And I'mtrying to think for me. I don't
know. I just like, UM, I sometimes get into maybe it's the
imposter syndrome. If somebody's really nice, If I'm like, are they only
(02:52):
doing this because they think I canhelp them out with something? Yeah?
And I understand that. I justI think that for some reason, if
it's like a guy doing it,I think they're being condescending. If it's
a girl, I think that they'remaking fun of me. Yeah. I
guess that's probably because of our pasthistories, right, I guess that'd be
why we would think that somebody's talkingdown to you or or making fun of
you or does human nature. Yeah, but I'm saying that's because of like
(03:15):
you probably had somebody do that teain the past or a couple of times,
and that's why it's like that's yourfirst reaction, And I guess that'd
be mine too, would D.It's like somebody who came across very nice
like D in the past clearly didsomething to me and that has reshaped my
view. I don't know, Yeah, I mean like that's how that's like.
Yeah, And I've been doing alot of deep thinking the last week
(03:37):
or so. I've been listening toyou. Um you familiar with theo Van.
Yes? So he he's an interestingcat where he was on the real
world like fifteen years ago and he'sbeen doing his podcast for years, but
really the past like year and ahalf, it's blown up. Yeah.
But are you was talking about,because he's on tour right now at too,
about how sometimes he feels inadequate,like the support he gets at shows
(03:57):
and stuff. He's worried that hecan never quite pay that to each individual
person or like be there for eachperson the way they are for them.
And that hit me because I feellike I've always said that too, and
I've talked about on podcasts on theshow where it's like I wouldn't legitily wouldn't
be here if it wasn't for peoplelistening to this podcast and listening to the
show who rock with me? BecauseI think that they're at the time,
(04:19):
there is like certain people in theindustry probably didn't want me to succeed it.
Maybe that wasn't the easiest to dealwith, but it was solely because
of like people listening to the showthat I'm able to do this. Yeah,
yeah, I get that. Yeah, I mean that's that's I think
that's human nature. I think thatI think a lot of people in your
shoes or like Theovan shoes probably feelthe same way before it like hits their
(04:43):
head, if that makes sense,Like that I'm comparing myself to feel that.
I know that, but I'm sayinglike, I think a lot of
people like in your shoes, hisshoes, similar situations, like would feel
that way. Yeah, it's avery it's a very cool thing. That's
why. Um, there's somebody calledin the show this past week who was
very complimentary of like, I justwant to thank you guys for all that
you do, which is a veryit's a very cool compliment to hear.
(05:03):
Radio is an odd thing where it'slike, um, we don't necessarily get
compliments every day at work, doyou know what I mean from like like
other coworkers and stuff. Um,I think it's just I don't know,
I don't know the reason why.I mean we do, like we had
we had really good ratings yesterday,like the highest ratings in the show's history,
which is I varied dope, Buthere that stuff from listener has always
(05:24):
been like the that's been the breadand butter if you will. Yeah,
I mean I think it's cool andit kind of helps you going to hear
it. I don't think people atwork compliment you because we're adults, and
yeah, it's odd. I alsothink too, I've the deep dope on
this. I think people are afraidto compliment me sometimes because they think it'll
(05:44):
get to my head. But thereverse happens where it's like I know they're
withholding compliments, which means I knowI'm doing well, which inflates it even
more. Do you does that makesense though? Yeah, but you know
what I mean? Or it's likeit's I always get the example. Eric
refuses to admit when I'm right aboutsomething, and like if you guys said
like, yeah, you're right,YadA, YadA, it'd be a dead
(06:05):
issue. But because he'll never quitesay fully that I'm right, that makes
me twist the knife even more becauseI know that he knows it, but
he just doesn't want to say it, because I think that if he's like,
I'm right, he's maybe worried thatyou're gonna like bring it up a
lot or something. No, it'sby only bring it up because he doesn't
admit it. If he is justlike, hey, you're right about that,
all right, cool and we keepmoving. Do you mean yeah?
(06:27):
I don't know. I think Imean it's also Eric. You're using Eric
as an example Eric, and he'sa little complex, Like yeah, a
little. He is the example foreverything on this show. He's my constant,
like throw under the bus. Iknow that, but I'm saying like,
Eric's like not the one using itas an example for everything, because
he's not normal. He's a specialboy. What is that bracelet? The
(06:53):
year? Um, it's just likethe mud rock things. I don't know
what that is. Remember there wasyears there were people who were these beads
and it was like, um,like in the nineties, no, within
ten years where it's like it waslike mud from the deep sea and water
from the albus. Hold on,No, this isn't remember those, yes,
but no, this is a crystalsbracelet. It's uh for wisdom.
(07:16):
Okay, do we feel like wehave it? I wear this all the
time. So obviously the Lacai bracelets, so allegedly they carry water from Mount
Everest. Should be a picture ofthem. And then they carry mud from
the dead sea. Remember people worethose. You're covering it. Sorry,
that wasn't me. That was thething. Yes, remember those things?
Oh oh my god? You eversaw people were these? No? But
(07:39):
was I living in Pasadmia at thetime, So I mean no, but
I think everybody, Um, holdon, I mean I'm gonna do this.
So there's the first one pops upas an orioles one. These are
these Remember the idea was like youyou know, so you can when you're
with the highs as high as Everestor the lowest dead sea whatever. I
(08:00):
just saw like a TikTok to youabout remember those bracelets that had like the
magnet in them the athletes wore.Was like a rubber a bracelet and it
had like a metal in it.Hold on magnet bracelet everybody wore. Um.
I remember the livestrong bracelets. Iremember like the beated bracelets everybody wore
the nineties and you get different colorsthe power balance. So these things,
(08:20):
oh, I remember they basically lookedlike a rubber I don't know. They're
like a rubber bracelet with like acircle and then it looks like you put
an air tag in there. Yeah. But those like allegedly were like all
the athletes are wearing them because ithelped your balance and stability. I saw
something on TikTok that came out thatwas like, yeah, that was all
fake obviously, Yeah, but stilldamn. I mean, but like my
(08:43):
grandfather, I remember he gave usall these like magnet like necklaces. This
is like in the early two thousands. Yeah, and he said that it
was supposed to help with like yourblood flow or something. Fun fact I
did my heist or seventh grade scienceon that very thing because my aunt when
my aunts was has arthritis and wasusing like um it was like in soul
(09:05):
magnets. And the idea was,yeah, it polarizes your blood to like
get blood flowing different places. Andthe test that I did, like it
when you wore this stuff, itdid like make things go better. That
sounds like it's an erection thing.It's not, but it's like it was
like a strength test. The ideawas like that opens up like things so
you can Again, this was myseventh grade me did this whole project.
(09:28):
By the way, I got secondplace to a girl whose mom made cookies
and that was her project. Wellcookies probably slops, so yeah no,
but look at the science fairy thing. I was always a little butt hurt
like that. And yeah because likemy parents wouldn't help me, like they
no, you do it yourself.But then my mom would like would go
to the science fair and be likethese kids didn't make this stuff. Well
(09:50):
yeah, yeah, I mean orwe had in h junior year of high
school we had to make churches,like build our own churches for religion class
and like every huh, a wholechurch. Yeah, well life size and
whole dang thing just us as teenagersnow. And like my buddy and I
did ours out of like I waslike a cardboard or posterboard. But then
(10:13):
there was like ones that came inthere a perfect wood like sawed and sanded
down. I'm like, there wasno way a sixteen year old did this.
What did you guys do with thesechurches? Well? That was the
odd thing about it, Yeah,because we played a lot of time.
That was like our final project wasthat because then he had to like write
about the church and how the churchoperates. But then after the year he
had these model churches. Ours wasprobably i know, footing to have two
(10:37):
feet tall maybe two feet deep,and like you had to take the top
off of it, so the insidewas built. So it was a little
bit like where's it go? Minesat in my family's garage for a while
because I was kind of like,I don't want to throw it out and
get the bad ju ju on me. Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it
here. I don't know where itis now. My mom and dad moved
and I had not seen it sinceI'm gonna assume they put it, probably
(11:00):
the Vatican the must have. Whenwe were in fifth grade, we made
canoes and adults helped us, likeactual canoes. Yeah, we like actually
give sniling country school. Yeah,we actually went out and like roading them
and stuff. Why did you makeit out of wood? Oh? Like
real people? Yeah, like wemade real canoes. Okay, how much
did you Actually no, adults helpedus, but we did, Like how
much did they help? Though?They always like they supply all the wood.
(11:22):
They told us like where to likenail everything. We painted everything.
I remember my friend Megan Shrum gotpaint in her hair and she had to
get a haircut because the paint wouldcome out. Um. Yeah, we
did it all and then we namedthem. We made like four canoes or
something. See a question, isn'tit can you hollowed out wood? Though?
Yeah? So like they'd already likehollowed out the wood. Okay,
so then what did you guys actuallyknow it was already like no, like
(11:43):
we really built it. It wasn'tlike I'm not thinking, let me talk.
It wasn't like we're taking like astump of a tree and like yeah
hauling out and making a canoe.Yeah that's what I mean. Yeah,
so it was like a can youkit basically basically, they supplied everything and
told us where to nail. Gotyou okay? And did you get to
keep the canoe? No, theschool did. That's whack do they use
in the next year? Yeah,they kept all the canoes. That seems
(12:05):
like that probably wouldn't happen today,right as school as has canoes just in
general, it's like, but theschools on the water, so like the
built like oyster farms and we plantedsea grass and we went on nature hikes.
But could you guys imagine like Godforbid, something had happened to a
kid and the school's like, listen, you guys have canoes. Yeah we
are stoodents spelt them. Yeah,it's an engineering school. No, it's
(12:26):
a middle school. It was soit was cool though, I'm like really
grateful if my grandparents got to sellyou there because it was a cool Oh.
I liked it. I always thinkabout, um, some of the
field trips I went on the Minnesotathe like these weren't really education. Like
we went to an orchard and wepicked apples. I don't think we got
to keep the apples, so webasically did we did manual labor for a
(12:48):
trip and that was it. Youdidn't even get some apple sauce. No,
we didn't get anything. It waslegit. Like I remember being like,
why the hell we picking apples?We're not going to keep them?
Didn't you didn't take them home atall? No, that's weird. Yeah,
so I'm saying they had her feellike we did one where we went
we worked at bees and like justthe guy that maybe it's the same point,
but you're allergic to be so Iknow it's the time. But just
(13:11):
like the old guy who was leadingthe tour, and maybe it's where he
wasn't a legit tour. He wasjust he wore the bee suit. We
all the set of sitting watch inthe same confined space. That's so weird.
I remember being like, if thisdude's wearing a seat of armor,
perhaps we should too. Yeah,I feel like that's not a good trip
for kids. If now you know, you probably don't know if all the
kids are allergic. Yeah. Atdifferent time, man, nineties, allergies
(13:31):
weren't a thing. They're just kindof like, ah, do you know
what I mean? Man? Iremember we went on this like camping trip.
We would go in like this twoday camping trip in fourth and fifth
grade, and my friend's mom gotlost like in the woods nice like with
us, like it was like thethree of us, but she was supposed
to be our leader. So likeliterally half the day was ruined because everybody
was trying to find us. Doyou think she intentionally got lost or do
(13:52):
you think she's a story friend otherday, because I would imagine um being
somebody who works with the youth coachinghockey. I think leading a field trip,
especially a sleepover field trips, thatwould be my personal Hell. Well,
she was leading the group like solike like it was like she was
literally just leading the girls in ourclass because my class had only four girls
and I was one of them.Yeah, the leader. Of course I
(14:15):
was a leader. I'm probably theonly one that still talk to all those
girls. I still I still keepin touch with all of them. That's
amazing because we all started pre kaytogether and we graduated fifth grade together.
So graduate fifth grade, we hada we had a fifth grade graduation.
This is so weird. I wastalking about this the other day. I
don't remember who I was talking toabout it, though, huh. I
(14:37):
think it was my friend Brooke.It doesn't matter anyway. I was talking
about how because remember, like theVitamin C song came out, yes,
and I was like, we shouldsing this out of fifth grade graduation and
then everybody's like yeah, And thenwe had a new principal at the time.
She's like, no, we shouldchange the words to the song.
So we had to like write anew song to the same melody, and
it was really stupid. I wishwe could hear it. I'm sure my
(14:58):
parents have it on video to day. The camera probably died, just like
my high school graduation. So allright, and we'll put a pin that
for next time. Hey, ifyou get a chance to get tickets,

just saw like a TikTok to youabout remember those bracelets that had like the
magnet in them the athletes wore.Was like a rubber a bracelet and it
had like a metal in it.Hold on magnet bracelet everybody wore. Um.
I remember the livestrong bracelets. Iremember like the beated bracelets everybody wore
the nineties and you get different colorsthe power balance. So these things,
(08:20):
oh, I remember they basically lookedlike a rubber I don't know. They're
like a rubber bracelet with like acircle and then it looks like you put
an air tag in there. Yeah. But those like allegedly were like all
the athletes are wearing them because ithelped your balance and stability. I saw
something on TikTok that came out thatwas like, yeah, that was all
fake obviously, Yeah, but stilldamn. I mean, but like my
(08:43):
grandfather, I remember he gave usall these like magnet like necklaces. This
is like in the early two thousands. Yeah, and he said that it
was supposed to help with like yourblood flow or something. Fun fact I
did my heist or seventh grade scienceon that very thing because my aunt when
my aunts was has arthritis and wasusing like um it was like in soul
(09:05):
magnets. And the idea was,yeah, it polarizes your blood to like
get blood flowing different places. Andthe test that I did, like it
when you wore this stuff, itdid like make things go better. That
sounds like it's an erection thing.It's not, but it's like it was
like a strength test. The ideawas like that opens up like things so
you can Again, this was myseventh grade me did this whole project.
(09:28):
By the way, I got secondplace to a girl whose mom made cookies
and that was her project. Wellcookies probably slops, so yeah no,
but look at the science fairy thing. I was always a little butt hurt
like that. And yeah because likemy parents wouldn't help me, like they
no, you do it yourself.But then my mom would like would go
to the science fair and be likethese kids didn't make this stuff. Well
(09:50):
yeah, yeah, I mean orwe had in h junior year of high
school we had to make churches,like build our own churches for religion class
and like every huh, a wholechurch. Yeah, well life size and
whole dang thing just us as teenagersnow. And like my buddy and I
did ours out of like I waslike a cardboard or posterboard. But then
(10:13):
there was like ones that came inthere a perfect wood like sawed and sanded
down. I'm like, there wasno way a sixteen year old did this.
What did you guys do with thesechurches? Well? That was the
odd thing about it, Yeah,because we played a lot of time.
That was like our final project wasthat because then he had to like write
about the church and how the churchoperates. But then after the year he
had these model churches. Ours wasprobably i know, footing to have two
(10:37):
feet tall maybe two feet deep,and like you had to take the top
off of it, so the insidewas built. So it was a little
bit like where's it go? Minesat in my family's garage for a while
because I was kind of like,I don't want to throw it out and
get the bad ju ju on me. Yeah, I'm just gonna leave it
here. I don't know where itis now. My mom and dad moved
and I had not seen it sinceI'm gonna assume they put it, probably
(11:00):
the Vatican the must have. Whenwe were in fifth grade, we made
canoes and adults helped us, likeactual canoes. Yeah, we like actually
give sniling country school. Yeah,we actually went out and like roading them
and stuff. Why did you makeit out of wood? Oh? Like
real people? Yeah, like wemade real canoes. Okay, how much
did you Actually no, adults helpedus, but we did, Like how
much did they help? Though?They always like they supply all the wood.
(11:22):
They told us like where to likenail everything. We painted everything.
I remember my friend Megan Shrum gotpaint in her hair and she had to
get a haircut because the paint wouldcome out. Um. Yeah, we
did it all and then we namedthem. We made like four canoes or
something. See a question, isn'tit can you hollowed out wood? Though?
Yeah? So like they'd already likehollowed out the wood. Okay,
so then what did you guys actuallyknow it was already like no, like
(11:43):
we really built it. It wasn'tlike I'm not thinking, let me talk.
It wasn't like we're taking like astump of a tree and like yeah
hauling out and making a canoe.Yeah that's what I mean. Yeah,
so it was like a can youkit basically basically, they supplied everything and
told us where to nail. Gotyou okay? And did you get to
keep the canoe? No, theschool did. That's whack do they use
in the next year? Yeah,they kept all the canoes. That seems
(12:05):
like that probably wouldn't happen today,right as school as has canoes just in
general, it's like, but theschools on the water, so like the
built like oyster farms and we plantedsea grass and we went on nature hikes.
But could you guys imagine like Godforbid, something had happened to a
kid and the school's like, listen, you guys have canoes. Yeah we
are stoodents spelt them. Yeah,it's an engineering school. No, it's
(12:26):
a middle school. It was soit was cool though, I'm like really
grateful if my grandparents got to sellyou there because it was a cool Oh.
I liked it. I always thinkabout, um, some of the
field trips I went on the Minnesotathe like these weren't really education. Like
we went to an orchard and wepicked apples. I don't think we got
to keep the apples, so webasically did we did manual labor for a
(12:48):
trip and that was it. Youdidn't even get some apple sauce. No,
we didn't get anything. It waslegit. Like I remember being like,
why the hell we picking apples?We're not going to keep them?
Didn't you didn't take them home atall? No, that's weird. Yeah,
so I'm saying they had her feellike we did one where we went
we worked at bees and like justthe guy that maybe it's the same point,
but you're allergic to be so Iknow it's the time. But just
(13:11):
like the old guy who was leadingthe tour, and maybe it's where he
wasn't a legit tour. He wasjust he wore the bee suit. We
all the set of sitting watch inthe same confined space. That's so weird.
I remember being like, if thisdude's wearing a seat of armor,
perhaps we should too. Yeah,I feel like that's not a good trip
for kids. If now you know, you probably don't know if all the
kids are allergic. Yeah. Atdifferent time, man, nineties, allergies
(13:31):
weren't a thing. They're just kindof like, ah, do you know
what I mean? Man? Iremember we went on this like camping trip.
We would go in like this twoday camping trip in fourth and fifth
grade, and my friend's mom gotlost like in the woods nice like with
us, like it was like thethree of us, but she was supposed
to be our leader. So likeliterally half the day was ruined because everybody
was trying to find us. Doyou think she intentionally got lost or do
(13:52):
you think she's a story friend otherday, because I would imagine um being
somebody who works with the youth coachinghockey. I think leading a field trip,
especially a sleepover field trips, thatwould be my personal Hell. Well,
she was leading the group like solike like it was like she was
literally just leading the girls in ourclass because my class had only four girls
and I was one of them.Yeah, the leader. Of course I
(14:15):
was a leader. I'm probably theonly one that still talk to all those
girls. I still I still keepin touch with all of them. That's
amazing because we all started pre kaytogether and we graduated fifth grade together.
So graduate fifth grade, we hada we had a fifth grade graduation.
This is so weird. I wastalking about this the other day. I
don't remember who I was talking toabout it, though, huh. I
(14:37):
think it was my friend Brooke.It doesn't matter anyway. I was talking
about how because remember, like theVitamin C song came out, yes,
and I was like, we shouldsing this out of fifth grade graduation and
then everybody's like yeah, And thenwe had a new principal at the time.
She's like, no, we shouldchange the words to the song.
So we had to like write anew song to the same melody, and
it was really stupid. I wishwe could hear it. I'm sure my
(14:58):
parents have it on video to day. The camera probably died, just like
my high school graduation. So allright, and we'll put a pin that
for next time. Hey, ifyou get a chance to get tickets,
