WEBVTT

1
00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:12.119
So here we go. We do
have another episode. I know it's a

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:18.679
little shocking, a little shocking that
I have so little time between my two

3
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.480
episodes. It has not been like
three to five months between my episodes.

4
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:27.359
I think it's been a week about
a week now, which is fantastic,

5
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.000
which is kind of the rhythm I'm
hoping to get into. Whether it be

6
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.399
more, I'm not sure. That's
still kind of yet to be seen.

7
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.320
But I do want to be a
little bit more consistent about it because I

8
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.159
do enjoy it. It is fun
for me to do. You guys enjoy

9
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.000
listening to it, which I do
appreciate, and it is therapeutic for me

10
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:51.479
to do. So I will continue
doing it for everyone in all parties involved.

11
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.039
It really is really a cool thing, and I've just enjoyed it over

12
00:00:55.039 --> 00:01:00.799
the last couple of years, three
years actually. But I do have something

13
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:06.079
that I did want to talk about
kind of right off the bat, because

14
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:11.400
I do make mistakes, a lot
of them. Unfortunately, I record into

15
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.640
a microphone and put it out there
for the internet to listen to and dissect

16
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.480
and make fun of me for.
So the mistake that I made in the

17
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:27.120
last episode was I was talking about
my wife. That's not the mistake.

18
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:36.400
But I did say that we had
been married for seven years, and I

19
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:40.040
was almost one hundred percent sure I
was wrong, but I couldn't. I

20
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.840
couldn't really in the moment figure out
if that was right or wrong. But

21
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.719
I knew I was kind of in
the ballpark of how long we've been married

22
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.760
because we just not that long ago, celebrated our wedding anniversary. It was

23
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.560
actually in February, but I hadn't
done an episode since I believe January,

24
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.840
so we'd missed a lot. Blah
blah blah. Go back and listen to

25
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.120
the last episode. That's fine,
but I said we've been married less than

26
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:12.319
ten but at least seven I think
was my actual like verbiage, I'm not

27
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.400
sure. Again, go back and
listen to it. So the other night

28
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:20.680
I come back. I was in
the studio all day. I've been doing

29
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:27.039
a writing camp, so we basically
just work in the studio recording studio all

30
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.840
week and we try and write as
many songs as you can in five days.

31
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:34.479
So I'm in the middle of one
right now. By the time you

32
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:42.719
listen to it, we'll have written
probably somewhere between six to eight songs already

33
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.639
this week over the last like two
or three days, which is absolutely fantastic.

34
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.719
Songs that didn't exist, songs that
weren't already kind of ideas, songs.

35
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.759
We're doing top to bottom lyrically,
production wise, top to bottom finish,

36
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.840
and it's all it's a lot of
fun. It's a lot of work.

37
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:04.919
It's mentally tiring, but it's great. It's all part of the job

38
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.120
and it's a lot of fun.
So I ended up not coming home the

39
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:14.560
other night until probably about ten thirty, which is fine. It's again,

40
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.120
it's just kind of part of it. And so Jeanie and I were just

41
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.680
kind of resting. We ended up
going up to bed. She was already

42
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.560
up in bed by the time I'd
gotten there, so I kind of weazled

43
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.000
in after I got all ready and
put all my stuff away, whatever,

44
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.960
and it was just kind of silent, like you ever just around your your

45
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.599
other, your person, whatever,
and it's you're just around each other,

46
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.479
but sometimes just no words need to
be said necessarily, and that was kind

47
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.000
of what it does. So we're
just kind of like sitting in silence in

48
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.599
the room. She had a long
day, I had a long day,

49
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:53.360
that's fine. And about ten minutes
goes by. We're just kind of doing

50
00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:00.199
our thing. Ten minutes goes by, she turns, she goes, Yeah,

51
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.240
I listened to your episode today.
It was it was really great,

52
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:08.000
Like I really appreciate like what you
said and stuff like it's cool things you

53
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:13.800
said about like you know, being
in the middle of answered prayer, like

54
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.800
that's really cool. But um,
we've been actually married for eight years and

55
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.839
not seven, and I knew that
was gonna happen. I knew that was

56
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.959
gonna happen. And it's fine.
It's it's it's my own fault. I

57
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.759
should have just known how long I
was married beforehand, but I didn't,

58
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:35.519
and I kind of admitted it to
the internet. Um, but Jeanie does

59
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.639
listen to an episode on occasion,
and of course that's the one she listens

60
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:45.759
to, which is fine. It's
fine, it's not a big deal.

61
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:51.120
But we have been married for eight
Um, we are going now into our

62
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:58.319
ninth year. So yeah, that's
fine. We actually ended up getting married.

63
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.240
Um, I did say we ended
up getting married in February. February

64
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:05.279
twelfth is the date. I actually
do know that off the top of my

65
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:13.680
head because my youngest sister was born
February eighth, and then we got married

66
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.199
on the twelfth, and then Valentine's
Day is the fourteenth, so it's literally

67
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:23.920
I cannot miss it because the entire
world is reminding me that, hey,

68
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.680
your anniversary is coming up, because
there are hearts everywhere, and everything is

69
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.639
overpriced, especially chocolate, which is
very special to Jeanie. It is,

70
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:40.279
it is very special, so it's
the one time of year where it's overpriced.

71
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.680
But I can never I could literally
never get enough of it for her.

72
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.560
She freaking lops it. So February
twelfth is our our anniversary date eight

73
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.920
years. We are starting our ninth
year. We are a couple of months

74
00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.040
into our ninth year. We do
have a little bit longer, a couple

75
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:04.040
more months until our second eighth anniversary. We did get married twice. That

76
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:06.920
is another story for another day.
I've gone into it, but it's coming

77
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:11.279
around again, so maybe I'll just
bring it up again. So we do

78
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:16.319
have our second eighth anniversary coming up
in the next handful of months, so

79
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:24.480
that's fantastic. The question, the
question that I do have today for this

80
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:30.600
episode is pretty it's a pretty straightforward
one. I'd actually sat and thought about

81
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.720
this for a minute, and there
was nothing else that I had immediately thought

82
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.399
of. And I think that's the
point, all right, Like you're supposed

83
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:42.240
to read the question in this book, and I'm supposed to write down and

84
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.480
or say the first thing that just
comes out of my mouth, not make

85
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.759
it, you know, scripted or
thought like overwhelmingly thoughtful. You would like

86
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.079
it to be thoughtful. But you
are dealing with me here, so that's

87
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.360
we'll deal with that, you know
whatever. We'll cross that bridge when we

88
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.519
come to it. Whatever verbs you
want to say there. But in this

89
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:06.480
book, if you are new,
I do actually have a massive surgeon audience.

90
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.360
In the last handful of days,
my audience has grown again buy another

91
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.800
like seventy what is the person?
Let me look at the my phone here,

92
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.040
m My audience has grown since my
last episode. I've had a surge

93
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:26.399
in subscribers, so I've grown another
seventy eight percent. So it's a pretty

94
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.360
massive following that I actually have.
And then I just had like another It

95
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:35.959
nearly doubled, which is absolutely fantastic. So thank you guys so much.

96
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:44.920
It's cool, Like I I have
no idea why why you're here, but

97
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.120
here you are, and it's fantastic. It does mean a lot that you

98
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:53.720
are here on all the major platforms. I don't know, it's really cool.

99
00:07:53.800 --> 00:08:00.240
It really does mean a lot.
Goodness, gracious, I forget to

100
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.279
breathe. I still do that.
Three years in. I forget to breathe.

101
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.680
I get rushing a little bit,
and I just forget to breathe.

102
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:15.439
But I do have. The question
for the day is in my five five

103
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:22.680
year question today memory Journal. And
I've done this now for the last handful

104
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.199
of episodes, which is really fun. And again I'm just supposed to say

105
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:31.600
the thing without thinking much about it, and I did think about it.

106
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.399
Unfortunately I was cheating a little bit. But the only thing I could come

107
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.000
up with is this. So the
question that I have today, and you

108
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.799
could answer it for yourself, whatever
that may be, is what is something

109
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.399
that is widely popular that doesn't appeal
to you? So again, what is

110
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.120
something that is widely popular that does
not appeal to you? And I'm sure

111
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.720
if I really sat and thought about
it, I could come up with a

112
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:05.960
ton of things. But the only
thing that I can think of immediately when

113
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.759
I was like, no doubt,
this one thing. Hey, it will

114
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.720
always hate this. The only thing
I could think of was, shockingly enough,

115
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.759
it was coffee. And I know, before you stop the episode or

116
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.960
unsubscribe or whatever you're doing, that's
fine, just know that I don't like

117
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.440
coffee. Like I something about it
just doesn't hit right with me. I

118
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:33.519
don't like fundamentally. I don't even
like the smell of coffee. It gives

119
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.399
me almost a headache. It makes
me almost a little bit nauseous. I

120
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.519
feel weird around it. Everyone always
is always like, oh, let's hang

121
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.840
out, let's go drink coffee,
and it's like, ad, that's a

122
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.720
horrible idea to me. It's a
horrible idea. Cool you might be able

123
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.519
to go and have your coffee dates
and put all sorts of weird nuts and

124
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.879
things in it, and honey and
all sorts of different weird forms of milk

125
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.440
and sugar and whatever. I don't
like it. And you always have like

126
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:09.039
your weird forms of drinking it,
whether it's on ice or whether it comes

127
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:16.039
out of your like fancy machine things, or you do it like with what

128
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.600
is that thing called where it's like
a weird shaped it's almost like an hourglass.

129
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:24.679
You put paper in it and you
like grind up all the dirt and

130
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.720
you put it in there, and
then you pour hot water over it,

131
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.039
and you pour like the hot water
over the dirt and then it drips down.

132
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:39.039
What is that called? I forget, it's gross pour over. Yeah,

133
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:45.519
there you go. Hate those.
My wife loves them. I just

134
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.320
like don't like drinking dirt water.
A lot of you guys do, and

135
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.039
that's fine. I'm not gonna judge
you for doing that. I'm just telling

136
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.519
you, it's just dirt water.
Like I don't really know if like that's

137
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.559
a real thing you need to be
like, hey, hey, I'm friendly

138
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.120
with you as another human being.
Let's go drink dirt water together. It's

139
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:11.120
basically like mud to me. I
don't know, but it's it's definitely it

140
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.279
is definitely coffee for me. Not
a fan. Don't like the smell.

141
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.799
It's kind of just like dirt water. It's expensive, and I, you

142
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.720
know, I just don't do it. You're like, WHOA, what else

143
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.440
you do you drink? Anything like
that? Like do you drink? Not?

144
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.679
Really? I do have like a
couple of Red Bulls a week probably

145
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:43.080
maybe, But for the most part, I don't really like have a lot

146
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.600
of caffeine, like I just kind
of get my adrenaline from life. I

147
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:52.039
suppose I'm not saying like I'm a
better person than a lot of people,

148
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.080
but yeah, I don't know.
You can kind of come to that judgment

149
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.120
by yourself. Man, that's fine, that's fine. I just don't like

150
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.480
it. I don't like it.
I I do like if I if I

151
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.120
had to give up, probably I
don't know. I really do like red

152
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:15.679
Bull. I really like Red Bull, so I would have a hard time

153
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.320
giving up Red Bull. But I
don't even drink it every single day.

154
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:24.639
So maybe that's my form of dirt
water. But the thing that is widely

155
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.200
popular that doesn't appeal to me again
is coffee. I'm curious what it is

156
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:35.000
for you. You guys can let
me know on Facebook, if you guys

157
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.919
are still on Facebook. There's not
really a lot of people on Facebook.

158
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.480
It seems like it feels like Facebook
is very good at very specific things to

159
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:50.240
me, and the the reach for
it is kind of shrinking. I think

160
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.559
Facebook is really great at like groups. If you're on groups, like in

161
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.960
a bunch of groups, like sports
groups, or very specific like parenting groups,

162
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.600
or whatever it may be. I'm
on a lot of like different hockey

163
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.440
pages for here in Nashville, Like
they're very good for those things. But

164
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.080
like outside of that, like I
don't know, there's just the most of

165
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.879
the people that I know have just
been on it, so like that's kind

166
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:22.519
of why I'm on it, and
I don't really want to learn another social

167
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.879
media. But if you guys are
on Facebook, you can follow Dahm Reviews

168
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.000
podcast, and I do post on
there every once in a while. I'm

169
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.080
pretty bad at like posting on there, but I'm better on Instagram. So

170
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.720
if you go to the Dahm Reviews
Podcast Instagram, I'm on there a lot.

171
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.799
You also go to the link tree
and you can find my personal one

172
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:48.399
there. That's probably the best one
because it is a little difficult, like

173
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:52.360
switching back and forth between you know, my personal ones and like my podcast

174
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.279
ones, and it just feels,
I don't know, at some point,

175
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:58.799
it just feels a little silly because
it's all just kind of me at the

176
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.120
same time. But every once in
a while I will post them there.

177
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.600
But if you really want to see
things I'm doing kind of day today and

178
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.600
you know, everything in between,
you should probably hit that link tree on

179
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.879
the Dahm Reviews podcast and that will
give you all my stuff right there,

180
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:20.240
including like my personal Instagram, which
is probably again the best one. But

181
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.919
thank you guys so much for listening. I will have more episodes coming up.

182
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.120
I did have somebody talking about maybe
I should do more videos. I

183
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.240
did videos for a while. I
really only do videos for Beer League hockey.

184
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:41.480
Here. I do have a like
a version of my podcast that is

185
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:48.559
just solely talking about Nashville Beer League
hockey, and people love it here.

186
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.960
It's really fantastic. I have like
a ton of subscribers to which is really

187
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:56.759
funny. I get a lot of
engagement and people talking to me, like,

188
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.679
you know, just all over Nashville
when I go to the rinks and

189
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:07.279
stuff like that. So that's a
that's a fun thing. But I do

190
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.519
videos for that, and I've thought
about bringing back my videos for this podcast

191
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.080
as well. If you guys are
interested somehow, let me know. The

192
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.000
best way again would be through Instagram. So you find me on Instagram and

193
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.519
you let me know, like,
hey, I'd like to see like you

194
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.159
do some videos. There's nothing special
about them. It's literally like I'm sitting

195
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.120
here at my desk and it's just
like a one shot, like I just

196
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.919
have my camera and it's just like
fine, just me talking to the abyss

197
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:41.080
like it works I think in this
setting because it's just my voice, right,

198
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.960
so like whatever, like it's fine. But like when I'm talking to

199
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.159
a camera or like I have a
camera on, like you, I guess

200
00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.679
you see my manners. Whatever,
It's fine if you want that, let

201
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.639
me know. I might start posting
snippets of me doing them again or like

202
00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:03.240
me doing episodes again because they're just
a really great way to promote and actually

203
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.000
have people like see my face and
stuff like that. So that's fine.

204
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.720
But if you just again go to
my Instagram, my personal Instagram, you'll

205
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.679
just see me all over the place
on there. So that's fine, but

206
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.279
great, fantastic. It does mean
a lot again that you're listening. You

207
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:25.639
can subscribe on all of your major
platforms. Spotify and Apple Music. Really

208
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.960
is my main two ones. I'm
on like a myriad of other ones as

209
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:32.919
well. I'm sure you can find
them Dumb Reviews podcast. That way,

210
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:37.759
you get the notifications of when I
post episodes, which really is helpful for

211
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.200
me and it's really cool. It's
really really cool that you guys are listening

212
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:47.480
and I'll never take that for granted. So great. I'll see you in

213
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.639
the next one. This is a
lot of fun. Okay, bye,
