"Your funeral fantasy. How does writing that make you feel like I always do, then I'm alone with this pain and knowing I have the other half of my life ahead of me and not wanting to experience this pain anymore. It won't stop in my head. It's like a Montage of horror movies made up of my past cycling through my head. It won't stop, and I search for things to make me numb. Again, I so relate to that wanting something to numb the pain when it comes up. If you had a time machine, how would you use it? I would like to see what my grandfather did to my mom. She was sexually physically and emotionally abused. It would hurt, but I would understand my mom. I would understand. My mom is never hurt me, but seems like it's a vicious cycle with the women in my family. We seem to be victims. I'm supposed to feel grateful for having a caring husband and having time off from work to work on my PTSD, but I don't. I feel guilty and helpless. I'm supposed to feel angry at the people that hurt me throughout my life, but I don't. I just want them to go away. I just want peace. I was writing that make you feel. It makes me feel like I have so much more to say, but the words are jumbled. I wish there was a way to record my thoughts. I just can't get them out. I highly recommend it if you're not in therapy already. It sounds like you might be. That in journaling would be a great way to get your thoughts out. And my old chestnut support groups, there was nothing like hearing other people struggle to get their words out to let you know it's okay for it to come out imperfectly. Do you think your abnormal for feeling what you do? Yes, I don't understand why after all these years at age 35, all the repressed memories of abuse are attacking me now. Why? I don't understand. With knowing other people feel the same way, make you feel better. Oh God, yes. Well, Kelly, I'm 50. And shit just came roaring back to me at 49 years old. And I'm just processing it now. You got 15 years. Clock's ticking. It's a process. It is a process and be patient with yourself. It comes out, it has its own timetable, and it's one of the biggest wastes of time, is wishing that our processing of pain was different. This is from the shame and secrets survey filled out by a woman who calls herself Raquel. She's straight she's in her 20s, was raised in a stable and safe environment. Never been sexually abused, deepest, darkest thoughts, because of what happened at my previous job on one hand, I feel like a liar and a fraud on the other hand, I feel pathetic that I let the opinion of one person my ex boss have so much control over me. I feel like I shouldn't be so hard on myself for lying about why I had to leave my job early. But at the same time, I feel bad about myself for deceiving people for months just so I could make some money. I wish I could get over this and stop obsessing around something I have no control over anymore. Deepest darkest secrets. I lied to my boss and coworkers about why I had to suddenly quit my previous job. At the time I was living abroad and working at an English academy. I told the owner of the school that my fiance had been accepted to a grad school program, which is why I had to quit teaching at the school before classes ended in June. What really happened, though, is that we had planned to have our wedding in Chicago in April and I had known since September that I wouldn't be finishing the school year. I waited until the last minute to tell my boss so that she would hire me on again in September and give me as many classes as possible when I finally told her I was leaving. She took it very personally and put a lot of guilt on me so much so that I'm still obsessing about it months later. I wanted to read this Raquel because I think this might have been the least dark shame and secret survey I've ever read. So I'll be mailing a trophy to you shortly and with it the envy of the rest of us that our shame and our secrets could be so mild. So for the love of God forgive yourself that is such a I know our feelings are our feelings. But my God, I think we all long for something like that to be our deepest darkest shame and secrets. Her strongest sexual fantasies, feeling desired by older men. Would you ever consider telling a partner close friend? Yes, my husband is both older and turned on by me. You know what? Raquel fuck you. Fuck you for having such a good, a good, healthy life. And rub it in our face. Of course, I'm kidding. I like to read stuff across the spectrum. This is shame and secret survey filled out by a guy. Calls himself Charlie. He's 20, he's straight, was raised in an environment that was a little dysfunctional. I've ever been the victim of sexual abuse, some stuff happened, but I don't know if it counts as sexual abuse. Up until a few weeks ago, I never thought I'd been sexually abused. However, I've been becoming more physically intimate as I have been becoming more physically intimate. I'm starting to suspect that I was molested as a child and a repressed the memory. Whenever I get close to someone and they touch me in certain places on my body, I begin having flashes of feelings and images of being molested by someone when I was a young child. I'm still trying to figure out what this means and when this happened and who did it to me. What are the deepest? And by the way, I highly recommend getting into therapy and just starting to talk about it instead of waiting

"You don't have anything. This all the hack jokes. Oh, your name's baron von baron von what, right? Basically that equivalent, but I had a trash, but about a trash bag. I got in the bus and then went to school. And this guy, Danny, who now lives in Chicago, who I saw him recently in Vegas. He knew there was stuff going on at my place, my home. You know, I was never that fourth right about it at school. I would talk about it a little bit, but also I guess there was a part of me that was like, I don't want I want attention, but I don't want attention from this. If I'm going to get attention from people, it's going to be on my terms. That's what I've heard people say about comedians. We control when people laugh at us. Exactly. How they laugh at us. And that's exactly how I felt about it is that if I was going to be have attention on me and be popular or whatever, it was going to be on my terms. It wasn't going to be because I'm talking about like, oh, I didn't want to be a drama queen and just be like, my mom and all these things went, right? That's how I saw it at least. So Danny was someone that I trusted. There was a couple, of course, there was a couple of kids that I trusted. And I told him what it had gone on. Very matter of factly. And he was like, we have an extra bedroom. And I lived with him for maybe two months. And did you have contact with your mom and your stepdad during that time? A little bit. Not a lot. Did they ask you to come home? No. I think that they knew, or maybe my mom did, my step dad didn't really express any. I don't know how much concern he did or didn't express my mother was concerned. Was she still drinking at that point? Yes. And I remember being at school and it had been a date had been set for me to talk to my mom on the phone. And I said, I will call you after school on this day. And I was in the school production of little shop a horse because I'm amazing. And using the office phone at the theater to call my mom. And I had this. Explosion that I was embarrassed about because it happened in front of a lot of the kids at school. That I was talking to her on the phone when she answered she was drunk. I was upset about this because I specifically told her when I was going to call. And I thought that she would have the decency to not be drunk, right? Now, of course, later I'm like, it's a disease. It's a disease. Of course she doesn't really have that much control. I mean, she has control over she was probably afraid and scared and in pain and what's the one thing that makes her feel better? Now I know that now. Later, I figured that out, but then I'm like, how dare she, you know, she should not block, right? In her mind, she was probably also and I know because I'm a recovered alcoholic. In your mind, you're going to have one or two. But the chemical process in an alcoholic is different because it creates the craving for more. So when I talk to Hershey was drunk, I was upset. I yelled so much. And. I just remember I was in this office and somehow I was suddenly wasn't in the office. It was too small for me to get I needed to walk around and I went out into the lobby and there was a lot of kids that were in the play that were there and I had this scene on the phone in front of them and then I remember hanging up and like I don't remember what I said but everybody laughed. I have no idea I want to say it was just like I hung out I hit it. I was like and seen. Thank you very much everybody. You can catch me next week and I remember hanging up the phone and just I wouldn't do it. I never say I'm not a big crier, which I regret. I wish I did because that stuff has to come out, right? It does. I'm more of a processor. I'll sit and I'll stew and I'll be like, okay, how do I feel? I feel this. I feel that. It's okay. Feel those things, but you still got shit to do, right? That's kind of where I've always been. So it didn't happen. And I lived with my girlfriend for the majority of my senior year of high school. This was junior year that this fight happened. So I did go home. But then I decided she must have had pretty liberal parents. She did. Actually, my two girlfriends in high school liked me so much, they had no problem with me spending the night at their house in their daughter's room in their daughter's bed. That's how much parents trust me. They are so wrong. No, but I think maybe they knew I was going to be respectful. Like I wasn't going to make their daughter do anything that she didn't want to do or that the parents liked me. I don't know why. I still don't know why. They just kind of like, oh, this kid is cool. He's funny. All right, Paul, I get it. Not funny, I get it. Did that make you uncomfortable? Yeah, of course, when you talk about horrible compliments. So yeah, I lived with my girlfriend for most of high school. I stayed in her room and her mom drove us to school and that was pretty much my senior year. And then I would go home sporadically to pick something up that I needed until I had kind of like just a little suitcase. So I lived out of a suitcase most of my senior year of high school. Until I went to college, and then I went, I went to Boston as far away as I could possibly get. And having these awkward conversations with my mom, where she would call my dorm room, and I felt I needed to talk to her because I think that I missed her. In my own way, even though I had decided, I didn't love her. I remember saying out loud in high school. I don't love my mother. That is not a feeling that I am capable of, love for my mother, right? And then going to college and feeling that I needed to let her talk to me. I knew it was important to her to talk to me. Even as much as I didn't want to talk to her. And it's awkward, just her talking. Until 15 minutes went by, I remember I would look at a clock until it was 15 minutes to feel like this was long enough of a conversation for her. Hey, I got to go do some stuff. And I would find some reason to get off the phone. Honestly, a theater class. Is where my perspective on my mother flipped. I want to see my sophomore year of college. This was this one exercise where we had to two lines of students across from each other. We had to envision the person we were looking at as our oppressor, a time that we were oppressed. I envisioned that fight with my mom over the camcorder. And I looked at this girl, it was a girl, too. As if she was my mother, and we had to physically, we create our bodies in that moment, how we felt physically when we were being oppressed. So I remember this cowering, this anger. It was like it was all contorted and ready to fight and afraid at the same time, which is how I felt. Then she said, now become the body of the person that oppressed you. Now look at the person you're looking at as if they are you and become the body of your oppressor. And I remember standing up and trying to take my mom's body and remember her in that moment. And it was in that moment in that body

"And so one day, but it was our camcorder. It was the family's camcorder. It wasn't specifically for me. Even though my grandmother felt I felt like she knew I would be the one that used it the most because I like the tape crap for no reason. And I remember, I came home from school one day. And my mother was messing with the camcorder. And I remember seeing her sitting on the couch with the camcorder. And she was just messing with it. And she had thought I had broken it. The person who probably took care of it more than anything else, and was sober. At the time, I had broken the camcorder. Sure, mom. I don't remember what I said something. I said something that was very monotone and direct. And she didn't like it. So I went into the kitchen and I said whatever I said to her, exactly what it is. And then I went into the kitchen and went to drink another two liter of Sprite. And she pushed me. She came out of nowhere from behind me, just pushed me to Sprite spilled everywhere. And I remember feeling just crazy in that moment. And I was like, what the fuck are you doing? And she's like, who are you talking to? I'm like, I'm talking to you, bitch. What the fuck are you doing? And then. The wrestling match happened. She kind of tried to push me up against the wall, tried to give me an elbow to the throat, and I pushed her off overpowered her. And then I ran to my room. And by the time my stepfather was my life, really, we've never had the best relationship. He courted me for the year that he was courting my mother. And then once they were married, it just kind of flipped, like he was like, now I'm your father and I need to teach you how to be a man. And I was like, I'm not interested in anything that you're interested in. But. I want to say by all means wasn't enabler. And I ran to my room, you know, because he was convinced that I was the problem. As well in some way. And I ran to my room and my room had no door knob. And neither did the bathroom in the hallway that was quote unquote my bathroom. Because I woke up really early to get ready for school because school was like at 7, I had to wake up at four 30 to get ready to leave. Because the bus left at 6 30 and I was a 30 minute walk from the bus. So if I didn't walk out of my home at 6 a.m., I would miss the bus. You had to walk a half hour to the bus? Yes, yes. 25 minutes. Specifically I had timed it. If I lived at 6, I had to walk pretty briskly to get there in time. So what would happen if you missed the bus, just go home? I would go home and 9 out of ten times my grandmother would wake up and drive me to school. That's generally what happened. Because she worked nights. She worked like three to 11 when school was out. She went, she didn't want to be around the kids. She wanted to clean up. I'm not going into the classroom. It has the snake in it. That was where her one rule, the end. So yeah, most of the time she would wake up and drive me to school. When I get home from school, was when she was leaving. So during the night, the normal hours, my mom would get home at 5, and that's when all the stuff would happen. My grandmother was never present for it because she was at work. So I ran into my room, this might have been a time where my grandmother was staying somewhere else. Because there was times where she would take long respites from my family and stay with a friend. I ran in my room after this altercation with my mom, physical art education, my mom in the kitchen, ran to my bedroom. Because I woke up so early, they were so you were slamming every single door. You were slamming every door and I was so Ginger with these doors because I knew it was early and I knew that sound travels more because everything's quiet. And I would always turn them very softly and close the doors very softly, but they were like, no, you're slamming the doors. They took all the doorknobs off my door, my bedroom door, and the door to the bathroom that I used. So there was no way to close my door. So when I ran into my room, I had to hold it closed with my shoulder. And then I heard my stepfather's voice like, I remember him saying, I want fired up now, something like that. And then he pushed the door here, of course, he's an older man so he was stronger than me. He pushed the door open and kind of slammed me against the wall with the door. And castigated me for talking to my mother the way I talked to her or whatever. And then I climbed out of my bedroom window. We were in the first floor. And I went over to the pay phone in the center of the apartment complex. I put a couple quarters in it, and I called my friend Tina. Who was the girl I was in love with at the time, even though nothing ever in the happening between us. And kind of told her what happened. I just needed to tell someone, and then I went back home. And it was nighttime. I had left the light in my bedroom on. So when I walked up to the window, I saw the light turn off. So I'm like, oh, they went into my bedroom. When I tried the window the window was locked. Then I went over to the front of the apartment, the door. There was a trash bag. With all my clothes in it. So, and not all of them. They just took a bunch of clothes and threw them in the bag. And I took that trash bag. No, you know what? It wasn't Tina. It was Daniel. I had a girlfriend at this time. Yes. I actually had a girlfriend at this time. So I went and told her what happened. I took the trash bag and I went upstairs to Jose tooth place, stayed the night. I took the trash back to school with me that day. And all it does the other thing is like, you know, kids make jokes, but I was never bothered by the jokes because I was always funnier than most of the kids. And so, and then also it was my Trump card, is that you can't say anything that's going to make me go, but that was not good. That's what I would say to kids when they were playing the dozens and they would insult something like, that's not good. That would stop, I would stop the game. That is not good. And we'll be like, oh, no, no, no. That is undue award. Reward to this guy who just said the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What are you talking about? So I went to the bus stop with the trash bag and was like, what's that? All the dumb jokes, and I would just stare at people. You don't have anything. This all the hack jokes. Oh, your name's baron von baron von what, right? Basically that equivalent,

We brought you frankincense myrrh and gold or whatever order. I always remember thinking, why isn't gold first? It's not the most important thing. And I remember doing the play in front of the church, and he said the line, and I just remember thinking, I could do that so much better. And that's where, and my great grandmother used to think that I was going to be a preacher. Because I was so interested in church, but I was always interested in the theatricality of it. And that the preacher was a guy on a stage talking everyone was with him. So I was like, yes, I want that. And I guess when I was a kid, I saw this, that you had to be a preacher. That was the guy that did that. Was there a feeling as a kid that made that so enticing to you? Was there a feeling that the real you wasn't being seen or heard by people that were important in your life or my reading too much into it? At first, that's a possibility. At first when I became interested in performing not so much, but then after that, once we moved to Vegas that became, I would say that became more of the situation. At first, my great grandparents were, like I said, they were old school. They were kind of children meant to be seen, not heard. Although they did engage me and they were always matter of fact. About things. They never gave me the answers you would give to a kid. About, well, where do babies come from? There's a stork. I don't think I ever asked where do babies come from, but I think if I would have asked, I think I was afraid to ask because I knew they would have told they would have told me. I would have been the kid that knew. Figured out there was no Santa Claus very early because it's easy to figure that out when you're poor. When you're like, I didn't get any presents. So did Santa Claus hate me or is my mom buying presents if she can't afford them? So I figured that out and I remember I remember when I figured out on my own there was no Santa and feeling sorry for the kids that still thought there was a set of claws. You're like, oh shit I brought me all these things. I'm like, your parents brought you all those things. That's very lucky for you, but there is no Santa Claus. I would know. See you later. Because when we move it to Vegas and I'll tease it because I don't want to interrupt your structure. I don't know what your structure is necessarily. There really isn't. It's a structural structure, but order the chaos. My mother, as a recovering alcoholic. So when we moved to Vegas, she was dealing with that, but I didn't really understand it until until middle school. When it really began to affect me. And so she would go to work, she would come home. She would lock herself in the bathroom, and then when she came out, she was this other person. And at first I didn't really get it. I didn't get that she was drinking a lot. I just thought that she was funner. Suddenly she was upset. She was angry. She'd come home and then she'd come out of the bathroom and be like, hey, let's do some stuff. I'm like, all right, hooray. And then it wasn't until when we moved closer to the mirage and when around when my stepfather came into my life and a little bit before that and during him there is when it got darker. When it became like she's my enemy. It was like she was my friend and then suddenly it was like she was trying to exert some sort of control over me to change me so I wouldn't be I wouldn't go down this path and sometimes I think and I wonder is this connected to my father? Did she see possibly the qualities in me that she saw my father and she didn't want me to be that guy? What do you think she saw in you? Because you sounded like such a non threatening sweet kid. But I may have been enigmatic. And mysterious. And that you couldn't really tell what I thought about things. About what I did and from the outside perspective, I dropped interest in things so quickly. Maybe to her. Well, it's just kind of like I was really into this thing and then suddenly I didn't care about it anymore, which I just think isn't that what the kid does. Hurray new toy, that's old now, right? But that's what I wonder. We haven't really talked about that specific part of my life of our life. But then also my grandmother was such a good buffer because she was there. And so wise always, I felt. Would your grandmother ever say anything to your mother about your mother's drinking? This is where I feel my grandmother wasn't so wise. I think that my grandmother was too dismissive to my mother. She used to she used to say that's just drunk talk is what she would say. And so when my mother was very inebriated and my grandmother just kind of dismissed it all as drunk talk and don't listen to her and I didn't really know how to take it. It wasn't until later. Again, that I saw when I looked back at those times that my mother was actually classic crying for help that she wanted some help that she needed some help. But even when she was saying specifically those things, but she was drunk, my grandmother kind of just it was a wash. Like what things would she say? She would say things like, I hurt, like I am hurting. I'm upset. I do want help. She was clear about it, saying this to your mom or to you. Both of us saying this to my mother, but I was there. I was present. And maybe my grandmother as a means of trying to protect me because I was witnessing these conversations. I was just there. There wasn't a lot of place that we were in an apartment. It wasn't a lot of places to go. It's such heavy shit for a kid to be around. Perhaps, I mean, I guess I grew up relatively early in that way. So it was like, because at first, she was fun and then it did get dark. It did get a little sometimes a little physical abuse, which I never really, because my great grandparents were old school southern. They were spankers.

"That was kind of the, I didn't read a comic book until a couple of years ago when Jackie Kate insisted I read this particular thing and I'm like, oh, I like comics again, hooray, I'm an adult. So I found these kids Norman and Fred. There was Jose one, then there was raymundo, and there was Jose two, and Jose two was after Norman and Fred. So there was Jose one and ray mundo. And those were my friends. And then there was Norman and Fred. And they were into Dungeons and Dragons. They were into it. And also Eddie Murphy, they were in the Eddie Murphy and Dungeons and Dragons. What a combination. I know, exactly. And we played ghetto D&D as I described it because we didn't fill out sheets of charismatic, what my charisma and my strength and my stamina. It was all about rolling dice. These invented ways to use dice to simulate fighting. That was ever really did. And that's all I ever really concerned about. And also maybe there was a sense of like, we're in Vegas and we're using dice. This is all makes sense. Ten sided. And then also, again, there was still a lot of, I felt like the sense of gangs started showing up in that neighborhood. But then it kind of just ended. And what's that book? Freakonomics that claims it was like, oh, Google is abortion. That's why gang violence is kind of dropped off, but it did drop off. I remember it was like 93 or 94. 8th grade were suddenly this threat of try buys are going to happen. You're going to get shot with just lessened and I felt the tension kind of fall off of people's shoulders. I remember feeling it in the air, like it just felt less humid or something in some way. Wow. Where this pall of inevitable danger just kind of had lifted. And everything was a little lighter. And it could also have been that by the time I went to high school, in 8th grade, I think I started playing the violin when I was like third or fourth grade or something. And because when I was in middle school, elementary school middle school, I got put in the gifted education programs because I was so smart. I was in a straight a student because I was generally bored by things. But I guess the teachers had determined from my demeanor and my ability to engage in class and engage in discussions that even though I wasn't turning in the homework, perhaps I just wasn't interested in homework. So what I got to middle school I was playing violin and stuff like that. I was an orchestra. And in 8th grade, the librarian of my middle school was the wife of the principal of this brand new performing arts high school that had opened in Las Vegas. And I was the class clown, because I could make kids laugh, and I was always getting sent to the principal's office for talking. But also I had the ability to read directly off a page without messing up words. So it was just kind of like baron, can you read that chapter for us? And I could put something into it. And then some kids were like, no, you should go to this high school. I've been hearing about this performing. You should go talk to miss Gary about it. So I went to talk to the school librarian and she was like, yeah, here's an application. And then I ended up auditioning and going to this performing arts high school. Even though I was still living in the same neighborhood, I just kind of just connected myself in the entire neighborhood. Like my high school friends became my friends and they lived in completely different parts of Vegas, so they'd drive to me, pick me up and take me somewhere else. But when I was in my own neighborhood, I didn't go I just stayed at home. Sometimes I would walk to the 7 or 11. So perhaps this pall of danger, I was just less in the world in a sense and maybe that's why I felt it as well. Have you, as you describe your stories of things like switching on and off kind of a binary way? Have you always been kind of a binary person where things just end abruptly and in other thing begins or is that just because of the circumstances of what your life was and it's like, okay, this is more convenient. I'll do this now. Wow, I don't know. I mean, it always has felt, this is more convenient. This is more logical. In that sense, like this other thing I was doing no longer makes sense. I can't justify it. Therefore, Vis-à-vis, I will. I got you. Partake in this thing. But it was kind of like. It's expensive to be a nerd. As a kid, like I like these nerdy things, but like I was and I was envious of all the kids that had all the trading cards and all the comic books. And I'm like, I can't afford all that stuff. So there was a point where I'm just like, I just can't keep company. I can't keep up with these kids. So I detached from those things and maybe some of those people as well. My grandmother surprised me by getting me Sega genesis when I was in third grade, third, fourth grade. So I had that early earlier than some of the other kids in my neighborhood.

"Have you seen it? It's fascinating. A lot of people have been talking about it, but his response was, it's very telling about who America is right now. This movie exists that we have no problem, believing a guy can fly. But when it comes to him giving a shit about anyone besides himself, we need to be hit over the head with reasons for that. It was like, what? Why would he? He's got powers. Why does he care? Why does he tweet? If I had powers, I just rob banks and fuck bitches. What is he doing? So we talked about heroes just as an idea in what we need from heroes as a culture as a society. Stuff like that. You know, as your sharing this stuff and your passion for wanting to go deeper, I just keep thinking mind that shit and your stand up. Well, that's why I started the podcast 'cause I'm like, I'm trying to reveal to myself how I actually feel about these things. So I can figure it out on stage. That's great. That's great. Well, thanks Paul. So get back to Vegas. So then you're living with your grandmother and your mom and your stepdad. Yeah, well, before my stepdad, we were in this part of Vegas called North Las Vegas, north town. We were relatively close to nellis Air Force Base. Kind of a rough neighborhood, very gang Y. That was a big thing. We didn't really have gangs in New Mexico. We had, we had just poor. But then moving to Vegas, it was like, now there was this, especially in the early 90s, when it was like every day on the news. He's young, he's black. He has no ideology. He's angry, and he's coming for you. And I'm like, that's everyone I know. I look in the mirror. I'm like, that's me. Who are they talking about? So there was this constant feeling this essence of fear. And something's going to happen like the drive by shooting. This thing that is a shark that is out there and it will attack and it will happen and you will not be prepared. It is impossible to know and you will probably die. Or someone you know will die. There was just always that feeling was there, right? That's fucking intense. Yeah, and you know, like how is your experience not valid? You just hear that. But here's the thing. Okay, so this is where I start to go. So but there are black people who I know that have been shot, you know, that I haven't been shot. I wasn't shot or stabbed because I stayed inside. I was like, all that stuff's outside. The shooting in the stabbings are inside. I'm going to stay indoors and watch Nick at night as day as the day is long. By the way, did the gang members all wear pinky rings because it was Vegas? Yeah, basically no. The mafia at least has respect, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, and we were Vegas had imported the Los Angeles gangs. So everyone was very aware of the Bloods and the crips. I still am unclear as to whether how many actual gangsters I was around as opposed to how many wannabes, because the wannabes were sometimes worse to me. Because the wannabes were so desperate to prove that they were gangsters. But they don't know anyone. But they want to stab somebody. They want to rob somebody and the people that they're most likely to do that to are the people that they knew. I had friends robbed me all the time. Really? They would just take shit. Like I would be at home hanging with some friends, and then my grandmother would be come home and be like, hey, what happened to my grandmother gambled, but like one? Like she didn't have a gambling problem because she knew when to stop? And she would have like just buckets of change all the time. That was when her favorite things to do, which is count change and watch television. And so she'd have like a big, fat bucket of corridors, 50, 60, 70, sometimes a $100 worth of quarters. Under the bed under her bed. She didn't keep them very well hidden. And so if I had friends over sometimes and they were like in my room 'cause I shared my room on my grandmother for most of my young life. They would just take it. And she would be like, what happened to my quarters? I'm like, what? Your quarters are gone, and then of course all my Friends would just be like, I don't know what you're talking about. Jingle jingle jingle. I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, we're gonna go put some money in meters and play arcade games. We just got all these quarters out of nowhere, but also I was like, well, these are the only people I know. I can't not be who am I gonna be friends with? I have to be friends with the kids that are wrong. Until I found some nerdy kids. What was that like? Finding nerdy kids. Well, we moved from the rougher part of Vegas to a less rough part. It became rougher when I go there when I go back to Vegas now, sometimes I drive around, the neighborhood I spent more in my life than because I was probably in North Las Vegas from third to 5th grade. Then we moved to a part that was closer to the mirage because when the mirage opened, my mom got a job there. So once we moved to that side, we were in this apartment complex and I kind of stumbled upon some kids and I don't remember how it happened. I almost wanted to feel like it was just I almost want to say that I was on a school bus and just kids were declaring out loud to no one at all, the things that they liked. And we kind of gravitated towards each other. I enjoy Sega genesis. I'm like, ah, I'll sit next to you then. Hello, what's your name? I'm a mime Jose. And then started becoming friends with kids that like video games and stuff like that. And I had my nerdy phases. I was really in the video games. I was really into comic books. I was really in the comic book trading cards, but never at the same time. It was just kind of I kind of jumped from one to another and then my love and favorite comic books ended because I walked one hour. I was more like 35, 40 minutes from my place to the comic book store that was closest to me. And then one day when I got there, it was just closed for business. And I was like, what? And next door was a place called pool sharks and guess I'm in the billiards now. And I just walked in there and started trying to have a pocket full of corners from my grandma. I was going to buy some comic books, but now I can play some pool, I guess. And that was kind of the, I didn't read a comic book until a couple of years ago when Jackie Kate insisted I read this particular thing and I'm like, oh, I like comics again, hooray, I'm an adult. So I found these kids Norman and Fred. There was Jose one,

"Now I don't even know you that well, Barron, you know, we met each other for 5 minutes before you came in here true. Elevator in Chicago recently, right? You're at the JFK, you're a JFK. No. Montreal. Been in Montreal. Bridgetown, Bridgetown. That's right. Bridget Sean Ramon tower. No bridge town. Rich town Bridgetown. So we saw each other in elephant, Ella far. Ella first it's a combination elephant elevator. And I was like, oh, Paul go Martin and you were like, oh, yeah. That's my impersonation. Well, I had heard you on somebody else's podcast and I wanted to get you. Did I ask you then to come to my podcast? I feel like it was pretty soon after we had run into each other again recently that you emailed me. Yeah. But I'm not exactly sure. I had heard you on somebody else's podcast and I thought I should get him as a guest, I think it'd be interesting. Cool. And so far, so far so good. So far so disappointing. But yeah, I think there's, I think there's every person has something unique that is about them and what sets them apart from connecting to other people, is their ability to express it. And by going to therapy and going to support groups, you hone that ability to express what's going on inside yourself. So it can only help you as a stand up comedian. I think one of the questions is how comfortable are you, possibly making less money for a period of time while you find that new thing? Right, this moment, not that comfortable. I couldn't be more broke. More broken more people wanting money from me than I have. I think I only need to point to somebody like Mark Marin to say, here's a guy who was ready. I remember him saying to me about 6 months before he started doing his podcast, what's the fucking point? I'm just ready to give up and get a day job. And I remember saying to him, you have something unique about you. I didn't dream that it would be the podcast, but you know, he's somebody who I felt like had a voice. When I would watch him do stand up, I would be envious of the places that he would go. And I mean, Christ, he's the standard. Inspired me to start this podcast because I was like, wow, people do want to hear about pain. And they do want to hear that kind of stuff. So I think the world is changing in terms of what they want to hear. I think what you're afraid to leave people are wanting less of. I think podcasts are raising the standard by which the audience is expect some type of emotional expression. So let's switch gears to talk about your shallow childhood. So shallow. Start off with the whining, would you? Yeah. Well, what do you want me to start? What was your childhood like? Where were you raised? Well, I was born in tupelo, Mississippi, which is right near one pillow. I was born in portales, New Mexico. Incredibly small town that I don't remember. My mother was 19 when she had me. She turned 20 three days later. Her birthday is right after mine. And she was in college at the time. And my great grandparents, her grandparents were upset because she had had sex outside of marriage, which that's how old school they were. And my grandmother was upset that my mom wasn't getting an abortion because that's how progressive she was. My mother had me and that my great grandparents raised me. Until I was probably about 6 in a different town called tucumcari, New Mexico, route 66 goes smack dab through the middle of it. My father is a man named Kenneth that's about as much as I know. They were 19. And as far as I understand it, he peaced out the moment he found out she was pregnant. He was like, what? I'm out. And the details are sketchy to me. It's only been recently that I I'd say the last 5 years that I've been really interested about my family's past. My mother's past and my grandmother's past because we just never talked about that stuff. I don't know that it was in the sense of, oh, don't talk about it. It's evil secret. Just as much as it wasn't a priority. Nobody was really that interested in it until the people who had the information died and they were like, where is that? Is anyone has anyone written that down? We don't know where it is. So the details of where my dad went, how he left, how he disconnected from my mother because when I think about it, well, he was 19 college. Did he just leave college? Did he just move out of town, like skip town? So I don't know. Where does your mom say when you ask her these questions? I haven't really asked. I'm afraid to ask, I think. I don't know exactly how painful it is or isn't for her. And again, I've become curious about it because I've never been curious about my dad in general. I just heard he wasn't a good guy. I heard he was abusive, physically abusive. But it's only been recently that I've been curious about what qualities of do I share with him? You know, because I don't know. What's the fear that comes up in asking your mom? What do you picture in your head? Going wrong. I guess I guess the mere idea that I might make her cry. Upsets me. And I know she won't. She's a strong person, you know? She's become a very strong person. What was she busy doing that she couldn't raise you at 19? Was she still okay? She was going to school and she was working full time job at the exact same time. As I remember it, it took her 6 years to finish college to get her degree. And then you moved back in with her. Well, I was in tucumcari New Mexico with my great grandparents, Gladys and Robert. And very churchy people. Southern, they had come from Oklahoma, but the roots go back to North Carolina and Tennessee. They were just very old school southern classic kind of southern black people, Southern Baptist church, very important to the church every single day of the week, something to do, whether it was clean the drapes or have a saying. There was something to be done at the church. Let's go to the church. And so my mother was in college this entire time. And I was with them until probably 5 or 6. And I remember the moment my mother drove up. I specifically remember, I was in this living room of this house, this little house in tucumcari New Mexico. I feel like I was in a little boy suit. I don't remember why. And I remember her car Chevy nova. Baby blue Chevy Noah, pulling up to the front and her getting out of it, and I was looking out of this screen door at her. And I had this dual moment of, I remember, I know who that's my mother. And also, I don't know this woman. I felt

"Here with baron Vaughn, who some of you know as a stand up comedian, some of you know him on his USA Network TV show, give me the name of it again. Fairly canceled. Oh, has it been canceled? Yeah, yeah, that was called fairly legal, but yeah, we got canceled. Oh, I'm so sorry. Shit can, as they say. I'm so sorry. There's no problem. Did you enjoy being on that? I did enjoy it actually. There's a lot I didn't enjoy, which was being in Vancouver, even though I love the city of Vancouver. I was incredibly isolated. And probably had the it's when I realized that I get depressed. I had never considered it as an option for my life, really. And then when I was describing it to someone, they were like, I think you're depressed. And I was like, this lightbulb, what? That's what this is. This whole, I don't want to get out of bed to go get Cheerios at the grocery store because the idea of walking back uphill to this apartment I'm staying at is too overwhelming for me. That's depression. That's what that is. Yeah, wow. So, and I love, by the way, when somebody is working that they're getting depressed because people out there have this illusion that if your career goals are coming true, that depression is eliminated. In fact, sometimes I think it exacerbates it because you then feel like an ingrate for not being happy. Exactly. I was gainfully employed during the height of the recession. And I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to be grateful. And then I couldn't find it, but it was that they isolation was really hard. Were there not people to hang out with? Well, here's what I did. Do you know Vancouver at all? A little bit. I was there once. Okay, for a day. Well, you know, Boston? Yeah. Okay, there's Boston, there's Cambridge. Who was there once for a day? I only go to cities for a day. Okay, where are you from again? I'm from Chicago. Okay. There's Chicago and there's Indiana. Yeah. Where I went to school. Technically you could cross the street and then you're in Indiana, all right? Yes. So Vancouver's probably main suburb is called burnaby. And that's where the show was shot. But we shot the pilot in downtown Vancouver. So I strategically picked a place equidistant from those two places. A neighborhood called the drive commercial drive. And I also didn't want to stay downtown because I knew it was going to be really downtown Y. And I thought it would be cool to stay in an area that was residential and had houses and parks and trees and stuff. No one else I knew lived over there. So I was a good maybe 20 minutes away from anyone that I knew at any moment. And the thing about wanting to have that authentic Vancouver experience is you need to know people that live in your neighborhood to have that. I don't know families or even so I was just in this apartment by myself all of the time. Incredibly isolated and it is Canada. So I was afraid to use my phone because I was getting insane roaming charges and just like getting $700 bills a month. Wow. So I was just like afraid to use it and I would email a little bit, but the place I was staying didn't have the best Wi-Fi. So I was just kind of like there all the time with my thoughts. But yeah, so I was incredibly isolated the first season and it was summer. That was the other thing. Canadian summers gorgeous, but then there was that feeling of like, it's beautiful outside. I'm supposed to be happy, right? So that all kind of compounded it. It's raining in my soul. It's beautiful outside, but it's raining in here. I got the cloud. I think that's why rainy days are so comforting on a certain level because it's like, ah, the outside matches the inside. Yeah, and I do prefer rainy days. Rainy days on Mondays actually make me happy. Instead of getting me down, I kind of, there's something so stinky and comforting about a sad rainy Monday. A sad rainy Monday, yeah, because you know that everyone feels. The world come to you for a moment. Exactly. That's exactly right. Before we move on to your personal story, people may also know your stand up. You've performed on Conan, Jimmy Fallon, all over Comedy Central, festivals, galore, and you've acted in a couple of movies, you were in cloverfield, what was the other one? I was in a bit part in cloverfield and I had a scene in the other guys, which was cut, which was great to brag to all my Friends and be like, in this movie, and then people would be like, we were you in the background somewhere. I'm like, but I was on the number one deleted scene. The other guys. I did a part in this movie called black dynamite. Which is a cult classic. It's become a cult classic. Your African American black. All right. I prefer black. How about charcoal? How do you feel about that? Definitely not. Yeah. And the reason I bring that up is, I don't know why I bring that up. Maybe I want the guests that are the listeners that send me the occasional email that are like, you know, love the show. How about some more color? I guess I want them. I want them to know. Well, here I am. But that has also been the ongoing struggle of my existence that the black identity. What the hell is it? And how is it that I fit around it? And that's kind of always been what I actually am working on a chunk of material about black depression. Because it's something that I feel like, I realized, okay, so a lot of my Friends are like, you should go to therapy. You should go to therapy. And I only recently realized I was able to pinpoint my resistance, which is, to me, it's the final step into whiteness. Once I go to therapy, I'm claiming this land for Caucasian. So, and then I was just thinking about that. So I started working on this chunk of material that figuring out that I get depressed and that I never thought of it as a something that black people do. I was always like, that's what white people do. They get depressed. We're just angry. And that's it. I didn't know we were not talking about depression. We're talking about oppression. That's the joke, which is a different impression. By the way, I love the idea of a bit about that. Do you ever feel like when you watch def comedy jam and you see, I mean, I see people on deaf comedy jam breaking new ground. I remember seeing Bernie Mac the first time and like, oh, this guy is special. He's got his own voice.

You can like do something for yourself a while. Yeah so in that time. I you know process things a little bit in understood that you know i gotta be committed. Because i wasn't abandoned child. So i told myself at that time i would never give up on him and i would never abandon him so i've been committed ever since while that's amazing story. I got the chills from that good for you that's that's been a topic of sensitivity in my journey and we won't get into that right now. Yeah is there a worse moment on the journey that stands out for you. I don't know if it would be a worse journey. But i do have a ignorant journey out very beneficial so my son's father of course is absent. And he's been absent ever since his diagnosis so when i tried to explain to him like your son is autistic. He's like will. Every child is artistic. And i'm like i need you to look this up like stop being ignorant. I need you to look this up. Your child is autistic. Oh there's nothing wrong with him.

Can We Health You?
"vaughn" Discussed on Can We Health You?
"You still have to end up as a consumer kind of doing your own research. I think that the easiest way as a pedestrian to approach your skin care and topical is to just buy things that you can read the ingredients and understand what they are and make it as simple as possible and understand. Yeah and so when you get into these list of like really Complicated sounding things usually that it means that there has to be a tremendous amount of preservatives. And that it lacks freshness lacks quality and in addition to that. I think that unless you're gonna go for things that need deep lab work science and You know retention and study over the years for things like rosetta. Acne anti aging wrinkles like things. That actually need to be corrected. All the other stuff is pretty basic income from nature. When you get into correctives. I find that the best way to do that is find a doctor endorsed brand where you can do. Some research on the doctor and kind of see what they believe and what they're writing about and what they're doing not that they're just creating like you know a label to sell product because those brands typically have the less the least amount of Advertising spend and so most of the money goes into the actual product. And so i would say that for that type of corrective stuff that dr endorsed brands are good. That's nice yeah. I like with food labels i. I have a couple of specific ingredients. That i won't allow into the house We've talked about before my canola either. An for beauty products. I think s. l. us is the ingredient that shouldn't come into the house. Is that true with that one ingredient or are there specific ones that you're just like what is what is that so sodium moral salsa. Okay so we don't use sodium moral. I was on a panel with the american cosmetic chemists board and these are all scientists. They are science-based. They work in a lab. They have a collective thought process. And i was on a panel with natural beauty companies and the natural world and the quote unquote clean beauty. World is opposed to a lot of what the chemist believe is safe. And so i'm not a doctor. Or a chemist i am a layperson and have tried to do as much research as possible even getting paid myself and my general conclusion is that there is always a collective body that is directed and researching towards something. Meaning if you are a cosmetic chemists and your goal is to solve for wrinkles you are going to solve for wrinkles and you're going to try to software wrinkles and less something is burning or massive irritation if it's producing results. That's what you're probably going to say work if you are in the natural beauty sector and you're trying to solve for hydrating the skin but your goal is to say i want to have these things as close to nature as possible where irritation and and redness and stuff would never even occur because they're so gentle. That's what you're trying to solve for. So i think that a collective body is solving for a certain thing and you just have to as a customer. Try to figure out where you fit in there. Yeah yeah it's not any. It's not any different than kind of What's happening right now. With vaccination research booster research with with the and that you know there's a lot of varying opinions out there a lot of people in the kind of alternative health and wellness world have their opinions about the virus in general and the treatment for that. And then the scientific data point to other things. But i would say when you have a group of collective doctors scientists and epidemiologists in toxicology..

"I'm not very competent. That especially with the giants still putting up a fight not going away at all and then you got. The dog is being so hot recently Yeah i'm getting worse for the padres. A law and i think this series is basically a bet on series for the dodgers the entire series because the padres have not shown You know the firepower or the willpower to really make a run right now. And that's that's what we're trying to look for We head into september october. It's interesting because the yankees in the dodgers right. Now are so stupid these two leg money line parlays have been cashing if you just blindly bet dodgers yankees for a month. You'd be up like fifteen. Units is just do it right now with baseball with these two legs. They just constantly. You're caching because they just keep on. Winning these have nots are now all of baseball. And these halves are just taking them behind the woodshed last question. What do you make of the houston astros. What the hell happened to the astros. They're really fallen off right now. And it's not looking good for them for six in their lifetime. you know. They're just not really scoring as many runs as as you would hope they would. They're striking out a punt again And that's that's been a problem for them. I think is that they keep going through. These stretches were there like the best strikeout team in baseball. And then they go through two weeks stretch where they're striking out eight to twelve times a game So they're really just battling a lot of inconsistently inconsistency issues right now. But i also just look at the pitching staff for them to try and get this down because you know over the last. I wanna say six or seven games. They are one of the highest scoring teams in baseball. But obviously they're losing games And then when you go back you know another thirty days in baseball Houston you know still up there. But they're not getting the total wins that you would think that they would be getting so you know right now. It seemed like the tampa bay. Rays is you know. Outside of the yankees is the hottest team in the al right now And you would hope the astros would be one of those teams have one total to Look and more comfortable and safe than the padres but yeah the the astros are definitely fallen off a little bit right now. And i'm thinking the yankees and the rays are like undoubtedly the two hottest teams in the al and the two most dangerous teams in the al at this moment. My under one hundred and two and a half wins for the dodgers. Looks okay my my over. Seventy nine wins for the red sox looks pretty good to see the dodgers the cool bit like coal. Hold down a little bit okay. You get me a little nervous. And i'm not going to cash my under two. Oh five and a half for the dodgers given how hot they've been going. We talked about that big of a year. And i definitely thank you at right now. You're in the best possible to watch the divers play baseball. Luckily i think i think he's gonna win. That one buddy von good stuff bent they and do it again soon. Right thank you. That is vaughn zell at v money sports to follow him on twitter. He is with nbc. Sports edge good stuff with him. On baseball i really like that under andrew. Heaney strikeout prophet six and a half. That's the best bet. I think he just gave out. That's a winner. I like that a lot. I'm going to trail that. It's pushing the odds mortem..

Speaking of brennaman mardi goes into the reds hall of fame on friday don't have his induction ceremony and then the reds hall of fame legends game featuring team bench versus team. Larkin on team. Larkin is going to be a guy who if you were to ask. I think most reds fans who is your your favorite team that didn't play in the postseason. I know i would say the one thousand nine hundred nineteen. That was such a fun year for a lot of different reasons. It was a team that in many respects. I think brought a lot of people. Back to the ballpark. Obviously pre gab. And the central figure on that team. I will never forget finding out that. The reds had acquired greg vaughn and as a senior at the university of dayton in how pumped we all were and he lived up to the promise he finished fourth in the mvp voting that year he had forty five home runs. He was very much the emotional leader that team. I'll never forget the home run. He hit against the brewers in game. One sixty two. He is going to be a great american ballpark on friday night and great to have him on the show. It's good to have you greg. How are you good. How are you i am. I am good. So i was milwaukee about a month and a half ago and you throughout the first pitch for reds brewers game and i'm sitting there with a buddy of mine and obviously a celebrated figure for all your great years with the brewers and i said number one he. He looks like he could still give a team. Thirty bombs number two. I would love to see. How great greg. Vaughn would have played a great american ballpark and on friday. Get a chance to see that.

"Of this matter. I think it's great so it used to be called vaughn's it'll be meaningless to i think people much further east than i don't know maybe arizona doesn't really matter it's a big chain safeway. Everybody knows safeway. Safeway eagle top. Exactly safeway is the parent of this. Vaughn's oh okay. It's a supermarket chain So they redo the store. It goes from vons to a pavilions which is their higher level store. Bigger variety better selection of at of whatever. Yes we more expensive. They got some crazy. Why whatever. it's whatever so. They do this big remodel. The meat counter which is also seafood. Counter goes from like this to visits huge huge now. But there's no way to let anybody know you're standing there because there's no bell and there's no window and there's whole nobody just standing outside the general public and sold their work all their work in the back so i go there and i need something and i wait like ten seconds maybe fifteen. It's not that. I'm impatient. But i got shit to do. I'm on a schedule. I wanna get my stuff done and The nobody shows up. So i go in the back. I kicked the door open with my foot. 'cause it's probably got meat juices all over and all. The guys are in their in their white coats. Cutting meat and i go Could i get some help like sure. No problem like this is a regular everyday occurrence for them out. They come get my stuff. And i go away. So that's mean. I'm okay doing that but i walked by one day. Says maybe eight nine ten months ago and there's a sweet little. I sweet little elderly woman standing there and i know i know the move and i say to her. How long have you been. You're waiting in choose five minutes ago. Is somebody getting something. She goes no. Nobody's shown up i go. I'll get you somebody same move. I kicked the door open like john. Wayne i go. Somebody needs help out here. Okay it's like it's like no big deal to them oak. Sure i'm on it. I'm friendly so now. I'm in the store and a couple of months ago. And there's a group of executive types to get the white shirts ties name tags. No jackets and i walk up. And i go. You guys look like you're important. Can i Ask for some help with something. Of course what could we do for you and explain the problem and the and and the one of the guys clearly the boss of these guys. Well you know what to we really want to be forward facing with our customers by blah and will think about. I go forward facing a implies that you're facing your customer. You can't see your customer. Nobody's there to help them. Well as business i go. It sounds like nobody wants to do this. We'll look into it couple of weeks. Go by. I forgot to mention that that maybe six months before this i say to a guy helping one day can make a suggestion was yeah go. Why don't you get a bell. He goes They don't want who doesn't want it. He goes like this. they don't want it. I assume he means the meat bosses in the back. A man who was not yet this guy was not a meat cutter. He was service deli. A service counter guy eggos. They don't want it. Why wouldn't they want. And i can only imagine they don't want to because they don't wanna be bugged but let me tell you something if people aren't buying your fucking meet the you won't be there to be bugged right so so now Now i have this conversation with his group of of executives. Couple of weeks later. Now it's really starting to chat my so. I won't shooting an episode day for youtube. And i discussed the problem and i tell you what had happened and then a week later i talk about it again so two weeks ago i walk in the store in the the manager comes up to me. Hey can i ask you something. Sure he goes. Can we call a truce truce. He goes a truce from you talking. You know what you've been saying about the meat and the nobel and the counter. whatever. And i go. I'm only saying that because it's a legitimate issue in my mind that nobody's doing anything about and i want you understand is not about me. I don't need to push a bill. I know how to get your guys attention whether they like it or not. I know how to get their attention. He does look. We're working on it. I go are you really. And he's a really nice guy. And so i'm being a little bit of a decade ago. Are you really he goes like. It's a bigger a bigger problem than just putting a bell. I go. I could probably go down like i'll seven where you sell brooms and shoe polish. Pretty certain some kind of build their he was look. It's kind of a company wide thing i go see. This is what i become an asshole. I go company wide to ignore the customers. He goes no when we've redone these stores. There's been a window between the meat section in the back and the counter. Now so you can see. Some is going to ask you about that he goes. It didn't happen in the store. I go so that means. There's never going to be a way to help people and by the way even if there is a bell unless you're looking up and i'm thinking when you're cutting meat you're looking down unless you're looking up every two seconds i mean what's the point right. So he goes he goes. I'm working on i go. I'll tell you what i'll give. We'll go with your truce for a month. But if nothing happens i'll be honest. I'm going to keep talking about it by the way i had gone online. Find their customer service. Nonsense emailed them told them the problem. You don't. They said nothing because he never wrote back really is now inbetween inbetween. This the handful of Viewers have sent me copies of them reaching out to the pavilions sales help whatever online stuff would a customer service stuff saying a. We don't understand why this guy's talking about why you guys won't do anything about it so last week i walk into the store. I'm getting something. And i hear in my ear. Somebody go not one. But two. And i look and it's him i realized what he's talking about immediately look at the counter. There's to push button for service. Things really look at this guy winning champion the people you know mark combs hero. The episode was the stay cups the yesterday's episode. Yeah type units take yesterday's episode I mentioned this ice called him a good guy and the comments underneath the description were like this guy is great. You know he should be this. He should be that he was getting in trouble from his bosses. Because of this issue. I go because of me talking about it. Goes with a little bit. I go you shouldn't be getting in trouble. They should be getting in trouble. I'm putting this bell. I don't understand where this guy wouldn't have just said i'm going to get the old timey. Stainless steel bell and plop it on their own. Or maybe go a little twenty twenty one tack and get the wireless doorbell thing to plug in to the meat cutting room and then labor injure out there and that way back there i mean. How easy is that and really getting in trouble. Is this thing where this is the higher level market. And it's just above.

"I'd be wondering are when lab. What started as a family road trip and did as a massacre murdered children murdered mother. You don't really need to see the crime scene photos so have your heart. Broken any odd. Hefty will save you and your track nationally. The first time that i had seen children what first appeared a murder. Suicide ended as an investigation of the sole survivor. The father christopher von most people would just assume that he must have done it. because he's the one ally blair met by reporters. They wanna know right off the bed why. Chris killed his family. We were no longer families of victims. We were the family of a killer. Christopher vaughn's initial behavior drew scrutiny in ambulant when he is yelling at them about cutting off boots and not ruining. His jacket is just seeing his kids. Murdered it's disgusting for us to think that we know how someone should or should not act. That has been through that everything he's been doing has been to hide to think about it. It's not face it now look at it. Three children were murdered by the last person they ever thought would harm them. My best friend lost her. Life is not here to tell the truth. How do you walk away if your kids have been shot. you don't. You said just rest. Chris and her first words were but he didn't do it. Did the person convicted a four murders. Actually pull the trigger. This remains a polarizing question. She was the mother of all mothers. She would have protected her kids like she was a momma bear when nobody else was around that dark side canal. And i know he didn't do it. He longed those kids way too much for any of that we'll take a closer look at a case. Riddled with inconsistencies allegations scandals and betrayal. Nobody stopped think about wait a minute what he did not do this every against her that we get to sleeves another question. None of their theories of how this happened said the crime scene evidence. We uncovered never before heard bombshell revelations. They had no proof did he was the actual shooter. There's another side that we're not seeing. The gun was covered with a cloth that they brought to the morgan then washed it get. What's going on and new developments. That could change. Everything have been holed but impossible for him to have shot himself that way. Both the prosecution's theory and.

Yeah, always confuse the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. But I think there was some crossover performers in there, but I think I think so. So let's talk about this approval rating You've got here and as a CEO myself, I have to say I'm a little jealous of you. 99% approval rating. I mean, are you are you are you? Are you slipping something in the cool later? Why? Why are these people like you so much? Honestly, um humbling thing and humbling number, of course, but I I I just firmly believe that if people know you care first, that's what matters and you can be able to guide and lead them. They know you're going to treat them honestly and fairly and But I think most of all palm is that they know you care. And if you lead with that, he I think people will certainly pull for human and certainly follow you if, uh, if you're guiding them all right direction, and we've been very fortunate to make some good decisions. Now you guys hire people out of college, I think And then you also have people in the obviously and up through the ranks up through executives. What's been the biggest challenge for you in finding new talent, especially during during coming out of this pandemic, and how busy things are. Where is the biggest challenge for you guys in the I T. I think staffing and recruiting is probably one of the biggest challenges for every company. Just about now we see it in the restaurant business, of course and hospitality and anywhere we go to eat right. But in in the logistics industry, it's still hot industry. People do want to get into it, so that's positive. But I will say that you're paying more for some of the same people than you were two years ago. You have to make sure that your compensations in line to compete with, um what's going on in the marketplace, and that is very different than it was pre pandemic. Um, but at the same time, too. I think this You're getting a better talent pool out there because people are a little bit more willing to look around. So I find I found it to be pretty interesting in a time where we're able to capitalize and certainly you know it in your business, Tom better than anyone, but it's labor is going to be an issue and staffing is going to be an issue. I think for the foreseeable future. At least the next two years. Do you find that your employees who have been with you through this crisis and also through your growth? I mean, you guys have grown a lot. You joined the company as an executive. In what 2010? Uh, 2002, actually, 2000 and two. I'm going up on 20 years. And then when did you When did you become CEO? Well, I did a leverage filed in Boston company in 2012 and became the CEO. Then I was president just prior to 2009. So that's an interesting thing. So you let a leverage buyout to buy the company from Was it? The founders? Correct and and then became obviously owner and CEO or partial owner, Right? A largest equity holder and CEO, and and now you own the company where your former peers used to work or still work, But they were your peers, and now they're your your your owning it. How did that transition go? Well, I did bring along. My two c level my C 00 p plunder and rape friendly my c I, o, uh, in that process and brought them along with us, uh, for the ride, and we've also brought in in 2017 as we were climbing the mountain and figuring out if we're going to make acquisitions around the world and growth, the paste would like We could use some capital infusion. So we brought in private equity with the financial, just financial partner, Um in 2017, and then we exceeded all those goals so quickly that We exited them out and brought another one in to climb the mountain. Next here, Justin last February, So we were just continuing to grow here finding ourselves at 1.3 billion. We're going to be multi billions here soon and We're enjoying this ride. Now From appears standpoint. Listen, everyone's done very well in this ride, and there was a lot of risk early on, as you can imagine in doing something like that. But the reward has been great, and we just have a lot of people that have Senior in our company and love what we're doing, and they see that we're doing some things that are game changing in the in the industry, so they want to be a part of it. That's awesome, And I think it's great that it's a It's a Chicago company, and you kept it a Chicago company, early Chicago land area in the suburbs. And I think that really says a lot about you and the company itself and the values that you have being loyal to to where this this organization was born when you when you look at the company so many, whether it's the apples and Facebook and And Oracle's. They've all trying to get into different lines of business, Whether it's you know, self driving cars and and financial systems and all these things, but it seems like you with it, the bigger you've gotten. It's been staying in your lane. So to speak, and just becoming better at your craft is that is that true? That's that's very well said We have a what we call a drive for five that just stays in our vertical areas of expertise that we are the experts in those spaces and we stay in those lanes where we don't go chasing or going down rabbit holes of next top thing and all the different items that can distract you. And it served us extraordinarily well and that's really what our club no us about. They know they're going to get the best service in those areas in the business, and they loved following us Those reasons. So now we're going into a little mini segment. I call the brutal truth segment on, so I know you're a cigar guy. So let's pretend that you're sitting back and you're having a victory. Cigar after having a great quarter a great year, and you're talking off the record to your wife for your your associates. How scared were you the end of march of last year? Where was where was your stomach Grumblings at that point. What? How did you feel? Uh, I was extremely scared of all Shut up. The unknown, um, was overwhelming The fact that we had such little information going on with pandemic to know what to do with our business, and I'll tell you the thing that I feared most. Was, uh Having to do something from a layoff standpoint with employees. That is always my biggest fear. That keeps me up at night to, uh, to have that type of impact on people's lives that we've had so far and that I want to continue to do it. If we had to face some mass layoff, I just From a stomach standpoint, that was probably my biggest fear. I just don't believe in that because when I look at the names of our employees when I see our list, I see families having weddings and births and Putting kids through college and those things are really near and dear to me for all of our employees and teammates all around the world and to me, I just didn't want to ever have to face that. So whatever we had to do to get through it And not have that situation. That's what I wanted to do. And I'm very proud to say that we never really faced that We were able to come through it very quickly and start really growing again. And that meant the world to me to be able to protect jobs that was first and foremost, But that's what kept me up and found enough copier the most. Yeah, and and that was, you know, a little bit of a lap because I know you've on and we didn't do layoffs it in our company either, and really, just kudos to you. It shows The type of guy you are and really what being in employer friendly or employee friendly company is all about Now.
